"Mongols," Genghis Khan?" Lilianu chewed the awkward-sounding word. At the same time, think carefully about the national ...... that Egil said.

"Like, well, I seem to have heard some businessmen from the East vaguely mention that that nation has a certain amount of power in the East. "In the end, after thinking about it, I only vaguely thought of it.

"Do they claim that their country is the strongest in the East?" said Egil, a little unpleasantly, and added a little in his heart: as if the Romans had claimed so to their guests from the West.

"Well, that's true. Lilianu nodded.

"It's useless to talk too much, you'll find out in a few years. Egil was a little annoyed, he had also thought of establishing diplomatic relations with the Tang State, and even an alliance against the Mongols, but this idea was dispelled at the first moment. The Central Plains Dynasty had a sense of psychological superiority over the four Yi of China. It's hundreds of times stronger than Rome. If you establish diplomatic relations with others on an equal footing or something, they will definitely treat you as the wrong medicine.

"Do not accept any dealings other than tributaries" The arrogant character of the Central Plains Dynasty made the arrogant Egil unable to accept it anyway, and he could not explain it to his subjects.

"Well, I'll see. Lilianu chuckled and pulled her hair, stood up and stretched, showing off the unusually seductive curves of her body. Let Egil secretly admire: "What a stunner." However, Lilianu's attitude of not taking things seriously also made Egil understand that this guy probably didn't take what Egil said seriously. But it's no wonder. Before it happened, humans were basically like this. Sluggish movement and lack of semi-breaking strength. It was as if a huge bouncy ball was bouncing up and ready to hit the ground at the moment. People saw this, some tried to dodge, and some tried to resist, but they all just "wanted" to do it, not really did it. It's just a small mental activity.

In reality, the most common thing people do is just stutter and look up at the sky. Wait for that huge orb to fall. And secretly pray that the thing that should be sǐ does not fall on his head.

Egil sighed secretly, but also tried to comfort himself like this: "Maybe in the future, Her Royal Highness will be more attentive to the things of the East." When the time comes, it will further affect her father. With a little effort, you can understand what a terrifying people Mongolia is. When the time comes, it is impossible to say that the Normans will have one more ally. ”

After saying this, Egil changed the subject, telling jokes, and telling a few interesting stories and rare things. In addition, they discussed astronomy, physics, mathematics and other knowledge with each other. Although he has been fighting for many years, Egil has basically thrown his high school education into the toilet. But in this day and age, even the four arithmetic can be regarded as advanced knowledge. Therefore, a junior and junior high school level talent like Egil can be regarded as a high-level scholar. Let's talk a little bit about solving binary systems of equations. Let Lìlì Anu look at Egil differently.

"I can't believe that Egil is so smart...... you." Lilianu's admiring gaze made Egil feel satisfied again: "I thought about something for a long time, and you didn't have much effort to solve it. It's really, it's amazing. ”

"None of this is a big deal. Egil shook his head: "A single person's only profound knowledge may be admirable. But for a country, the role of a single person is really limited. Only when the government reaches a certain amount can the whole country benefit and promote development. ”

Hearing Egil say this, Lilianu was a little puzzled: "Could it be that those slaves and commoners also need to learn this knowledge? Egil, you said a little too much, right? The peasant only needs to farm, and the merchant only needs to do business." And knowledge should be in the hands of scholars. Only by performing their respective duties in this way can we ensure the stable development of a country. ”

This is indeed a theory. Egil nodded, nodded, and then said, "But here's what I think: in history, the role of some geniuses cannot be denied. At the same time, the role of others, the wider masses of ordinary people, cannot be denied. And some of the theories, knowledge of those geniuses. If it can't be widespread. In the end, it will not have a good effect on the country. ...,

As you said, farmers need knowledge of agriculture, knowledge of the astronomical calendar, and knowledge of botany. If a farmer can understand these disciplines and be proficient in these professional knowledge and skills, he will achieve more results.

Similarly, small merchants need to use mathematics, while large merchants need to use philosophy, craftsmen need to apply physics, geometry, and so on. So I think, things are not as you say. Knowledge and technology are very important for any industry. ”

"But...... Those industries have been passed down from generation to generation, and they should be ...... with their skills and abilities. ”

Hearing Egir say this, Lilianu also wavered a little, but this medieval traditional concept of each doing its own thing still made her make such a rebuttal.

"Do you mean experience, customs, or anything like that?" Egil nodded, "Indeed, those things are very useful. But how much of it is scientific and how much is wrong? As I said before, the natives of the New World, who thought that their crops were good, because they had sacrificed many human lives to their gods. It's an empirical custom, but can you say it's correct?"

Lilianu shook her head slowly, "Of course not, but the natives"

"Those natives, although they have different levels of civilization, are also human beings. Egil cut off Lilianu's words: "Humans make mistakes, and they make them." And even if you don't talk about them, what do you think of the world today, our world, a popular custom in our world. Is it all right?"

"Indeed, you have a point. Eventually, Lilianu nodded a little reluctantly, confirming that what Egil had said was correct. But he asked unconvinced: "However, what you said is indeed very good, Your Majesty. But is it really going to happen, or is it going to be that for you, the Normans?"

"Of course. Egil clapped his hands and thought to himself: I'm waiting for you to say that. "Elementary and secondary schools have been universalized in all the capitals of the empire, as well as in all the major cities. Higher education institutes were established in each of the capital capitals. In the capital, there are even higher universities. Thousands of scholars taught the people of the empire in these academies, of course, for a fee. ”

"Huh?" Lilianu was a little shocked when she heard the previous sentence, but when she heard Egil say the last sentence, she couldn't help but cry and laugh One by one, in Lilianu's heart, the place where schools, colleges, and scholars gather and communicate is extremely sacred. How can it be linked to money? It's a blasphemy against knowledge.

"It's because the Empire's finances are poor. Egil shrugged: "Maintain the army, the government, and the royal expenses will require a lot of money." ”

“...... If that's the case, then it should be very difficult to build the society you are talking about, right?" said Lìlì Annu.

"Of course it's difficult. Egil nodded: "Actually, I don't think it's basically possible to reach the level I said at this stage. Of course, I don't need to reach that level, as long as I'm better than other countries, that's it. ”

"It just needs to be better than any other country...... "Lilianu nodded knowingly. After this, Egil showed off his administrative system again.

"The officials of my country are not hereditary aristocrats, nor are they appointed by their superiors. Rather, it is a systematic study in the academy and a practical investigation to familiarize yourself with professional knowledge. That's how you can take office. It's like if you want to be a judge, you need to know the laws of the empire. If you want to be a tax officer, you need to be familiar with business tax rates, be able to calculate the correct math of taxes, and so on. And if you want to be a ruling official, you need to know philosophy, political science, economics and other things, of course, the vast majority of people are not so powerful, can master so much knowledge. If you specialize in only one subject, you will serve as a more inferior auxiliary and specialized official. ”

"I see. If that's the case, it's really good for the country. Lilianu nodded, "Maybe the Norman Empire has a lot to learn,.........,

"Yes, because that's an empire I'm proud of. ”

Eventually, Egil ended the conversation with such a sentence. Over the next few days, Egil conversed with Lilianu several times in various venues. The more she talked about it, the more Lilianu felt that Egil's talent was remarkable. In many ways, the Norman Empire began to gradually surpass Rome. As a result, the Greek princess's idea of change became even stronger. However, what Egil didn't tell her was that Rome was different from Norman, and Norman was a new country, and everything was prosperous. Like a white scroll, it naturally allows Egil to smear at will. Rome, however, is an ancient country with a lot of roots. Just like a masterpiece that has already been formed, altering it will backfire if you don't pay attention to it, and destroy the original artistic conception .......

"The turmoil caused by the forces of reform and the forces of the old is often more devastating than the destruction caused by foreign enemies," ,... "Egil, who had re-embarked the ship, parted with Lilianu, and agreed to meet Lilianu again after the return of the crusaders, smiled softly, and accepted Liliano's shy kiss on the deck in the lonely morning, thinking: "If Rome itself does not go wrong, it will be difficult for me to conquer Rome." But what if Rome itself went wrong?"

When Ai Huang picked up the girl, he did not forget to lay nails to the enemy. Both public and private. Rubbing his face, the monthly pass can't even enter the top 100 ....... ）
