85_85536 If it had been two days ago, then William would have done it without hesitation. After turning things out, he taunted Charlot. But this time is different. Now that he has figured it out on the way here. In the end, it is up to Sharumi to decide on her own path to the future. Then William felt that he shouldn't care too much.

So, he sat down in front of Charlumi, who looked a little uneasy. After a pause, he pondered his words before he spoke: "Xia Lumi, let me ask, what do you think?"

As soon as William opened his mouth, Charlumi looked like she was about to cry and began to pretend to be pitiful: "I know it's wrong, William ......" It seems that he misunderstood William and saw through her scheme, so now pretend to be pitiful and admit it happily so that William won't get too angry next.

It's just that what happened next made Xia Lumi feel very incomprehensible.

William shook his head, then said to Charlumie, "No, I didn't mean that. Charlumie. I mean, do you have anything to say to me?"

"I will definitely study hard in the future......" Xia Lumi continued to pretend to be pitiful, but while pretending to be pitiful, the mood in her heart also changed slightly.

Perhaps William will change the way he teaches this time. Or maybe William will give up...... But if William gives up, then he must be disappointed in me...... That doesn't seem like a good result.

Charlumi thought to herself. At the same time, he stared at William, waiting to hear what he could say.

"Yes, like that. Charlumie. "There may have been some problems with the way I taught before," William said. Or rather, I'm a little, um. It's a bit ......" At this point, William felt that the next words were a bit difficult to say - after all, in any case, saying "you're a fool" or "you're not a good student" so you couldn't continue to learn at the original "perfect" teaching pace. I decided to lower the amount of your study.

Although this statement is basically no different from the reality. But it's really not nice to say. And it hurts self-esteem.

Under such circumstances, William decided to say it in a more tactful, and at the same time, more acceptable way:

"That's right, Shalumi, I think I've made some mistakes. There may also be some issues with the way I teach. So, I'm going to make some changes to that. This requires asking for your opinion. ”

Hearing William say this, Xia Lumi naturally didn't feel uncomfortable. After all, William had taken all the blame on himself. So for a while, Xia Lumi could only hear the excitement after hearing the curriculum reform. Didn't think much of anything else.

"Alright then, now let's talk about it. William said to Charlotine, "What are you interested in, or, what kind of person do you want to be?"

Hearing William say this, Charlumi fell into deep thought...... If it had been before, she would have replied without hesitation that she wanted to be a good knight like Baron Otto. But in the six months that she spent with William, Charlumi had a lot of influence. Plus a heart is all tied to him. If you talk again, you won't be the same as before.

Therefore, seeing William say such things in a very serious and serious tone, Xia Lumi naturally had to think about it carefully, and then answer this question with the same seriousness.

In this way, Charlumi thought carefully for a while before she spoke, "If I want to do something in the future...... It should be to rule the Circassian county well. After all, it's something my father passed down to me, and it's an important asset to our Hereford family...... It's just unfortunate. I don't seem to have the talent to be a good lord......" Speaking of this, Xia Lumi shook her head with a wry smile:

"I also know, William, that what you have taught me lately has been useful. If you really have this knowledge, not to mention that being an earl, even being a king may be more than enough. But the problem is that I really ...... Well...... Really don't like these things. Speaking of this, Charlumi laughed again:

"I'm glad you're still there, William. You can help me, won't you?"

"Not necessarily. I may have something else to do in the future. Looking at Xia Lumi's smiling face. William felt a little hot on his face. After that, he involuntarily tilted his head to the other side, and then said to Xia Lumi.

Of course, Charlumie didn't take William's little tsundere appearance seriously at all.

"Before, I originally thought that as long as the level of swordsmanship and fighting spirit was high enough, everything could be solved...... But that doesn't seem to be the case now. Speaking of this, Xia Lumi shook his head: "Like my uncle, he can indeed be regarded as dominating the entire battle situation with the power of one person." But the problem is, how many masters like him can there be in the world? At present, I am afraid that the military-level masters can be counted on their fingers.

Although I have some talent, I think I can work hard. But if you want to reach the height of your uncle, it is by no means so simple. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Lumi looked very emotional: "So, William." But then, Xia Lumi smiled again: "I'll still, do what I can." It's like you trained the army and commanded the army to fight, and you taught me those things, okay?"

"Absolutely. William nodded. Listening to Xia Lumi say this, the choice she made was indeed similar to what she thought in her heart. It's just that he is still a little hesitant in his heart. It's like I said before, after all, Charlumi is a girl. Let a girl go to the battlefield to cut people for herself. Although the current social climate is like this, yes. But William still had some difficulty accepting it in his heart.

Therefore, William still felt that he should take the trouble to persuade Xia Lumi. It's best to dispel this thought. Even if she couldn't be a good administrator, William felt that she was much better at doing nothing than being a dangerous soldier.

So, William spoke: "But, Charlotine, you should know very well. War is a dangerous thing. Everyone who enters the battlefield, whether it is a general or a soldier, has the possibility of dying in battle. And in many cases, the probability is almost equal. And Charumi, to be honest, I really don't want anything to happen to you. ”

"But that's impossible, isn't it?" said to William with a smile, "what a dangerous time we live in, William, you can't be unaware, don't you?" But the problem is, it's the opposite. If I don't learn that, I'm going to be more dangerous, aren't I?"

"You're stealing concepts. William gave Charlumi a blank look, and then knocked her on the head lightly: "I mean the danger of being a general. The risks associated with working in a military profession. You're talking about the security that comes with learning this knowledge. These are two different things. ”

Hearing William say this, Charlumi stuck out her tongue. His own little caution was hidden in front of William. She stopped talking, and just looked at William. Waiting for William's answer.

And William said, "You don't have to study economics, finance, management, agriculture, and so on. After that, I didn't wait for Charlumi to be happy. William said, "However, the basic subjects still need to be learned. Especially mathematics, physics and chemistry. It's all top priority. In addition, I will do my best to sort out the books on machinery, industry, and military affairs, and send them over. The same goes for the new workbook, as well as the exam papers. ”

"What—no......" Hearing William say this, Charlumi immediately folded her head and wailed.

"Yes, yes, that's it. But if you learn well, then how about training the new army and giving you a battalion?" And then again, apart from Xia Lumi, there are really not many officers who are capable and have enough experience......

The new army that William wanted to build was a modern army armed with flintlock muskets, bayonets, throwing grenades and infantry artillery. It has completely different combat ideas and combat methods from the traditional cold-weapon troops. The knightly lords, whose minds were still stuck in the medieval era, were basically difficult to accept such a drastic change in thinking. And William didn't expect any surprises from these guys.

So, to the end. It is not only the soldiers who have to train themselves, but also the middle and junior officers...... As soon as he thought of this, William felt a great headache. Compared with the training of troops, which can be simple and brutal, what is needed to train officers is not only so simple.

And most importantly, the people who William can get his hands on at the moment are basically illiterate. Not many people know words. This doomed the time and effort required to train this group of fellows into qualified officers was much more than it would take to train an average officer
