Outside the commune of Misty Town, Merkel and Wilhelm were ordered to retreat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A great deal of experience has been accumulated in the land reform in Misty Village and Maple Leaf County, and in the past year, the plan on how to implement land reform throughout the three northern provinces has become more and more detailed.

Therefore, although Merkel is not confident about this, she is not at a loss.

However, the decision to implement school education in the administrative units at the township level was a completely new proposition for him. In front of Donner just now, he didn't ask much, but when he thought about it, there were many difficulties in this matter.

"Your Excellency the Governor......"

"Lord William ......"

The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and said with a smile at the same time: "You talk first......"

In the end, it was William who said first: "It may not be a good thing that all the children of the commoners know how to read, right......" Speaking of this, he probably felt that his words were a little disrespectful, and quickly explained: "Oh, Lord Duke should have his deep meaning, most likely because I was too worried." ”

Merkel knew that Wilhelm's later remark was somewhat insincere, and in fact, he had his own doubts about the pros and cons of universal education among the common people.

However, his relationship with Donner is one step closer, and even if it is out of assertion of Donner's authority, he cannot show his wavering in front of William.

So Merkel laughed and said: "It's always good to have more smart people." My concern is that the farmers are reluctant to send their children to school. You may not know that children from civilian families start working at the age of six or seven...... Now I don't even know how big to build the school. ”

William couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "No matter how big it is, more than three hundred schools are enough for you to be busy." ”

"Yes, all the laborers I can call on are building roads in the province of Oviere, and it seems that we will have to hurry up and hire the local farmers to do ......the work themselves in the next few months," Merkel said, shaking her head.

"Well, since your lordship no longer pays the empress the grain tax, there should be enough grain to hire the peasants, and I think that if you mention it, your lord will definitely agree." William said.

"The empire no longer needs to pay grain to the north, who would have thought that there would be such a day......" Merkel said this, suddenly thoughtful, and continued: "Perhaps, because of this, there will be no need for so many people to farm in the future, and adults will have to build these schools." ”

Only then did William show a look of sudden realization.

......

Downer did not explain to Merkel and William why he did it.

On the one hand, he doesn't have so much energy to explain everything to everyone, and on the other hand, because he has enough authority now that he doesn't need to explain anything for his decision.

In his opinion, in time, when these measures show their power, his subordinates will naturally figure it out.

However, Wesley did not agree with his approach.

After Laurent, the head of the Santan School of Magic, and Moen, the head of the Mist Chemical College, were also ordered to leave, Wesley finally couldn't help but ask the question.

"Don't you notice? They're all scratching their heads. ”

As he reminded him, Donner was pondering.

"What?" Donner blinked, still not coming out of his train of thought.

"I mean, you have to tell the whole story, or they won't know what you're going to do. Wesley said, "Actually, even I can't figure out what you're going to do." ”

At this time, there were only three people left in the hall of Nuoda, Donner, Lucia and Wesley, and Lucia no longer had the empress's shelf, but walked to Donner from the main seat of the conference table and sat down, and said to Wesley with a smile: "Fatty, haven't you noticed that he has always been like this?"

"What does it look like?" asked Donner and Wesley at the same time.

Lucia glanced at Donner, then deliberately put on a cold look, and said, "I don't bother to explain things like this to you at all, anyway, you idiots won't understand." ”

Before she could finish speaking, Wesley was already laughing.

"Am I really like this? Isn't it?" Donner looked wronged.

"Lucia plays more like you than you do!" Wesley laughed.

Donner looked at Lucia, who was holding her stomach and nodding vigorously, but he could only laugh with them.

"Have you ever thought about it, the reason why the villagers of Misty Village are suspicious is because they don't know your true purpose. Wesley got serious again: "I know you called the priest the other day to show up with the dwarven gnomes to dispel their concerns. But then the entire three northern provinces will encounter such a problem, you can't let the divine pastor take the dwarf dwarf dwarf and run all over the village, right?"

"I'm waiting for a moment," Donner said with a smile after glancing at Wesley, "and now is the right time." ”

"When, when?" wesley wondered.

"I need a goal, to mobilize the people of the three northern provinces, and even the entire Hulse continent, originally I thought that this goal could be to overthrow the unequal social system, but this goal has two big problems, one is thousands of years of oppression, the civilian class has long been accustomed to it, you shout equality at them, they think you are a psychopath; ...... Including me, I could become an enemy of this force......," Donner said slowly.

"Can't we be gentle?" asked Wesley.

"Isn't the gentler way to do now?" said Donner, with a wry smile.

"I don't understand, shouldn't you be grateful to the commoners if you gave them power and wealth that they never ha......d? At most, I don't even want Coennas, and I don't want the crown, so it's all right?" Lucia said.

"No, once the flames of hatred are stirred, they are difficult to extinguish. Donner mused.

"What do you mean, then, when the time comes?" asked Wesley.

"I said, we need a target, and that goal can also be a clear enemy. Donner smiled.

"You mean, giant Jesse?" Wesley seemed to understand.

"Why not the entire Knights' Federation?" asked Donner.

"Are you crazy?With the strength of the Huls Continent, how can you deal with the entire Knight Federation?Besides, apart from Jesse, what do the other Knight city-states have to do with us?" Wesley stood up in surprise, and Lucia looked at Donner suspiciously.

"I didn't say that we really want to go to war with the entire Knight Federation, but we can maintain the relationship with the Knight Federation to the necessary level of hostility. Downer explains, "And, there's a very big benefit to doing that. ”

"What's the benefit?" asked Wesley.

"We can exchange grain for their currency. It was only then that Donner said his most important plan.

"Currency?" Wesley said abruptly, "You mean, exchanging grain for metals in the secret realm?"

"Isn't that what we're lacking?" said Donner, spreading his hands. (To be continued.) )
