A rare snowfall from the dying winter has once again wrapped the earth in a layer of silver.

Julian looked at the snow outside the house and muttered, "This is the last heavy snow of this winter." ”

When the snow is over, it should be time to set off, and Julian, who has made up his mind, said to Rosalynd, who was lazily lying on the sofa:

"Mom wrote a few days ago, I miss you very much, and I want you to go back and see him. ”

Rosalind blinked sleepy eyes, she had just taken a nap, and the heating of the fireplace in the house always made people feel sleepy and drowsy.

"Hey, isn't your mother's favorite thing?"

"It should be my cold-blooded ruthlessness that broke my mother's heart."

In the face of Sean, Julian failed to stand with the Duchess of McCarvey, but Rosalind always looked like a common enemy.

"Bad lies. ”

Julian shrugged his shoulders, "That's what Mommy meant. ”

Rosalind squinted slightly, and looked at Julian suspiciously, "You don't want to leave me and go to the imperial capital alone, do you?"

"I'll wait for you to come back. Julian denied.

"It's not necessary, I don't want to go back to Raging Waves. Rosalind said.

"In that case, I won't force you. ”

Smart, cunning, and with an astonishing acumen for everything, Julian sighed regretfully, as if he was not immune to Rosalind's clutches.

As for the candidates to go to the imperial capital and stay in Azuchi City, Julian has already made plans, and it is natural that Barr and Sebas are self-evident, one is a loyal escort, and the other is a competent butler and deputy, and taking them to the imperial capital can save a lot of unnecessary trouble, and there is no need to do everything yourself.

Staying in Azuchi City is naturally Edgar, this is not because Julian is deliberately alienated from Edgar, but on the contrary, Julian trusts Edgar extremely much, and also recognizes his outstanding ability, so when he leaves the south, he will rest assured that the entire Earlcounty of Karazan will be taken care of by him.

Personnel arrangements are so simple and easy, aren't they?!

"Well, Sebas, I don't seem to have many people around me. Julian now has to face an embarrassing situation.

"This time I went to the imperial capital, the young master will definitely get what he wants, there will definitely be many interesting talents there. ”

"I hope so. ”

In this era, books are precious and scarce things, knowledge is monopolized by the aristocracy, and it is difficult for the commoners to access these things, this is not a matter of money, but the accumulation and collection of generations, so there is a saying that it takes three generations to cultivate a nobleman.

Julian had envisioned the circulation of the book collection in the city of Fury to the people, but there was no doubt that this was an apostasy. The decaying nobles will not agree, because they must maintain an advantage over the commoners, and knowledge has built an insurmountable gap between the nobles and the commoners, so even if there are occasional commoners who dislike the rebellion to occupy one side, they will soon be defeated by the imperial army, because the commoners who have no access to knowledge do not know how to govern the territory, and without systematic learning, they will not have logical and self-consistent rationality, and they will not use enough self-control to resist and control it in the face of desire.

And it is impossible for the nobles to let Julian hire a large number of commoners who have never had the slightest aristocratic blood in their bodies, just appointing a bal can only show that this is a whim of Julian, if a large number of hires are tantamount to shaking the foundation of aristocratic rule, and the nobles will not tolerate this kind of thing.

For more than 300 years, the Spring and Autumn Period has been prosperous, singing and dancing have been peaceful, the country is rich and the people are strong, but it seems that the dark tide has been surging under the peaceful and prosperous world, and the long-term comfort has already made the nobles decay, they do not want to forge ahead, they only think about how to maintain their status as a transcendent person, and they are deaf to the anger and dissatisfaction at the bottom.

Julian himself as a top nobleman has no intention of changing the status quo of the commoners, he will not do anything to damage his rule, the so-called liberators are either the suffering oppressed or the otherworldly saints, but the rain of the empire for more than three hundred years has never expanded, but has shrunk a part, and has been invaded by the barbarian Hargrove barbarians in the Northlands, and the weak enemy country has not recaptured that territory, but rather that the center of the empire is happy to see the weakening of the power of the Duke of the North and has not extended any help, only verbal solidarity, and some material assistance。

The territory of the empire did not increase but decreased, but the number of nobles continued to increase, and there was no extra land to canonize, so a large number of noble noble heirs lived in the people, living a life no different from the commoners, fortunate like the Hendynton family was canonized as honorary nobles by the nobles, and the doomed or incompetent people could only live a difficult life, with no aristocratic panache, but no aristocratic substance.

Now the down-and-out and depressed nobles are gathered in the imperial capital, wishful thinking with a slim hope of being appreciated by the nobles of real power, because their bloodlines cannot tolerate menial work.

These people are all resentful, eager for success, eager for change, eager to break the already rigid constitution, to change the empire of more than three hundred and so immutable, and finally to war.

"Yes, I will. Someone was born with a storm, and my flame wanted me to burn up this mutilated, filthy picture. Julian's face was filled with a charming smile.
