When Donner solved the hidden danger of the Holy See and returned to the school again, William had not yet arrived—not that he was too slow, but that Donner was too fast. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

So, Donner found Austin, and with him, he learned more about the current situation in the school city.

After half a year and hundreds of thousands of magic crystals, several laboratories in Pampelo School City seem to have begun to take shape, and in terms of personnel, there are seven scholars like Austin in charge of a research project, and more than 200 assistants and apprentices.

The predecessor of the school city, the Pamplo School of Magic, could have accommodated thousands of students, so now more than two hundred people are scattered all over the school city, which seems somewhat deserted.

But Donner also knew that this was not to be rushed.

There are very few people in the entire Feimeng Empire who are interested in naturalist research, and only a small half of them are willing to come to the school city. If the method of money temptation is used, I am afraid that a large number of fake scholars will be recruited, which can only be detrimental to the construction of the school city.

However, after learning more about how the school city works, Donner realizes that his idea of letting it develop freely is a bit too idealistic.

For example, William did not recruit scholars specializing in theology as he instructed, and the seven scholars, including Austin, were all concerned with physics and mathematics, but their methods, logic, and so on, always inadvertently moved in the direction of theology—which can only be blamed on the fact that the doctrine of light was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

So, after meeting William the next day, Donner asked him to organize the entire school city.

Downer then spent seven days conducting an unprecedented naturalist seminar. The research projects of each scholar are organized and analyzed, the fallacies are removed, and then the rigorous scientific method is used to deduce, which makes each research a big step forward.

Originally, William and Austin respected Donner only because of his dukedom and his passion for the study of naturalism.

But as the conference progressed, this respect gradually turned into a fervent worship.

On the last day, Donner wrote down the entire deduction process of Newton's mechanics system with charcoal in front of everyone, and then spent half a day answering everyone's questions. When he stood in front of the lecture hall, and no one could ask questions, there was a sudden burst of applause in the room.

Just as a small group of people had already stood up and applauded, and many more were standing up, Donner waved his hand to the crowd and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"We love naturalism because it is our way of exploring the nature of the world. And as a naturalist, you should have the belief that the world can ultimately be understood and explained by us. ”

Donner paused at this point, and he noticed that everyone in the room was shocked, because what he had just said had already touched on the field of theology, and if the Holy See knew about it, he might be accused of blasphemy.

Donner, however, didn't care, or rather, none of his plans could be realized without the shackles of religion being completely removed from the city.

However, in the search for the essence of the world, there will inevitably be errors, and some truths that now seem unassailable may in time be proven wrong, or at least incomplete. Donner raised his hand and pointed to a series of diagrams and formulas behind him, "This system of mechanics is like this, and one day it will be overthrown...... If we're lucky, we might be overthrown by one of you. ”

This time, the atmosphere in the venue was even stranger. No one could understand why this seemingly infallible system could be wrong, and, if so, why did the Duke of Vane take so long to explain it and answer everyone's questions?

However, Duke Vane's next words immediately answered the doubts in everyone's hearts.

"Everyone should be equal before the truth," Donner quoted for the first time the word on the stone tablet at the entrance of the school, "and I hope that this city will be enlightened, unbound and imprisoned by any authority." ”

At this point, Donner finally stopped, knowing he had said enough. If you go any deeper, it will only mess up your mind.

That night, Donner left the school, and what he left behind in those seven days would take the entire school city a long time to digest completely.

......

By the time Donner returned to Misty on June 13, Wesley had already set the scope of his experiments with privatization reform. A large area of farms closest to Misty Town, about 200 or so farming families are zoned in this area.

At this time, not only Wesley and Merkel, but even Donner were not very sure about this reform.

He knows what this form of social change usually means.

But for Donner, it's a no-brainer, and there's no other option.

Even if we don't think about the longer term, just the first industrialization that the three northern provinces are about to usher in is already incompatible with serfdom.

If some changes are not made now, when the contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, I am afraid that the consequences will only become more serious.

Fortunately, however, Downer has absolute power in the three northern provinces, and there is minimal resistance to carrying out top-down reforms ahead of time before the intricate middle-level power structures are fully established.

So, when Downer, Wesley, and Merkel set concrete measures in the Misty Town, the reform was quickly implemented.

From mid-June to early July, in just half a month, all the farmland in Misty Village (the name of this village is also new) was evenly distributed to 213 rural households.

At first, when Jimmy brought the news to the village, people thought he was daydreaming again. It wasn't until he began to distribute the deeds signed by the Duke of Venne himself that the peasants began to believe that all this was true.

From this year onwards, the land in Misty Village was owned by the farmers, and the Duke only received half of the land income, and for the sake of calculation convenience, he did not do a detailed survey every year, only calculated according to the average harvest of previous years.

However, in order to keep his influence under control, Wesley placed a gag order on the farmers through Jimmy. Claiming that as long as the news is revealed, the land will be taken back immediately.

At this point, an agrarian reform unprecedented in Middle-earth was finally quietly implemented near Misty Town.

In this more than half a month, Donner also did one more thing. He drew several sets of sixth-level sound transmission circles, and after completely blackening them with dyes disguised as magic gold, he had them distributed to Santan City, Pampelo School City, and the central part of Fog City.

Unlike most magic circles, the Sound Transmission Circle fails where the magic elements are thin, and Donner speculates that this may be because the sound transmission circle works by transmitting information through the magic elements, i.e., energy waves in the high-dimensional space.
