Chapter 446: Powerful Means
When I returned to the inn, I passed on the books I had read all day with my thoughts, which was equivalent to reading ten books at the same time.
With some understanding of Reims's national conditions, both of them were amazed, and it was really the most worthwhile country for this trip to the Western Continent.
The next day, the two of them came to Fries College again to continue their tour of the entire campus to learn about the real teaching, which was what the two wanted to know the most.
I didn't dare to use my senses, but really approached the teaching place, observed carefully, and directly participated in the actual teaching.
Skills training is not an apprenticeship, but a small-scale, meticulous technical training, divided into small classes, and it will be completed in about a month.
The people hired to serve as technical lecturers are all masters in the industry in the city, and they are all well-known figures in the industry.
The two of them visited a link in ironware processing, steelmaking technology training, and there was no theoretical learning in the teaching process, and there may be no theory at all.
The training content is limited to how to look at the heat, how to add different substances, how to make different alloy steels, and how to process them into various primary embryos.
The training in steelmaking technology, which lasts for one month, is free of charge, but anyone who wants to work in this industry must obtain a vocational certificate issued by the college.
Leaving the steelmaking classroom, the two continued to walk around the campus, and met a bright monk named Andaru, who was in charge of the safety of the academy, and was no longer young, and after talking to him, they had a deeper understanding.
According to Andaru's introduction, the people who come are learning and practicing, and they will be assessed immediately after learning, and the assessment process is also open, as long as each step is completed independently, you can obtain the qualification for this profession.
In the Reims Empire, every industry is like this, and practitioners must obtain the qualification issued by the vocational college;
Of course, the training is different for different industries, such as barbers, the training period may be ten days, while chefs have to take more than three months.
In fact, you can also learn a number of skills, and teach them for free, but the college will not provide any help with food and housing.
Andaru said, "This vocational qualification system is still written in the legal code of the Reims Empire, and all men and women over the age of twelve must learn a vocational skill."
Ye Li asked curiously, "Then what skills did you learn when you were a child?" ”
Andaru, a little proud, said, "I was a horse trainer when I was a child, well, when I was twelve years old, I was a horse trainer in my hometown, and I was a little famous."
Ye Xing smiled and asked, "Why did you become a Bright Monk again?" ”
Andaru straightened his chest and said proudly, "I went to the magic academy to study for five years at the age of sixteen, and later, I traveled to dozens of countries on the mainland before I came here again."
I have long seen through that Andaru's cultivation is not high, but there are quite a lot of muscles, a very strong person, looking at his expression, he is still very satisfied with his current situation.
Ye Li said, "I have a question, how can those children from poor families come here to study? ”
Andaru said, "Generally speaking, the tuition is free, and the problem of eating, the churches and holy rooms around the country will provide some free food, not much and not enough, but there are still some."
Ye Xing nodded and said, "That's good!" It seems that many of the practices of the Reims Empire are really good, at least the poor can survive"
Andaru shook his head and said, "Poor people generally go to join the army and become professional soldiers, as long as they get military merits, they can get a share of the land, and if they die, their families can also be cared for."
Ye Li said, "This method is very good! It's just a constant war that can be maintained like this, is there a war every day in the Reims Empire? ”
Andaru nodded, "Yes, the Reims Empire, in the past 200 years, there has been almost no war, otherwise how could there be such a vast territory?" More than 80% of them were snatched from the barbarians"
Ye Xing asked, "I've been here for a few days, and I haven't heard of any war."
Andaru smiled, "The war is all overseas, that is, fighting against the barbarians on the sea, and the Lance Empire, which is overseas, occupies several huge islands, and is now recruiting people to develop it."
Ye Xing and the two glanced at each other, so it was, and exclaimed, "This method is too powerful!" ”
Andalus said, "Yes, Alex the Great is too wise, too powerful, and the laws he made are really great."
Bidding farewell to Andaru, the two came to the library again, determined to delve deeper into the history of the Reims Empire and Alex the Great, which is really necessary.
The two of them were not busy reading, they flipped through the books at random, and discussed softly in a corner of the library.
The two of them also speak the common language of the mainland, which is not too noticeable.
Ye Li sighed, "The actions and ideas of Alexander the Great are too advanced, and the successive monarchs who have followed them are also extremely smart, the key is to continue to reform for two hundred years, and still maintain the stability and strength of the country!" ”
Ye Xing smiled, "Any reform is actually an adjustment of interests, the core is that vested interests are not damaged, and those who do not benefit have opportunities to continue." Those in power must also have great patience, courage and ability, otherwise it will not be possible to succeed."
Ye Li sighed, "Rouran's reform, but it is difficult to move an inch, it seems that we really have to reflect on it, we have to collect a large number of books from here, go back to translate it, promote it, it is too important to open your eyes."
Ye Xing smiled, "I don't think it may be useful!" The key to the strength of the Reims Empire is the continuous foreign wars, which have shifted the domestic contradictions outward."
Ye Li retorted, "That doesn't seem right! A long-term war will cost a huge amount of military spending, and no country will be able to sustain it for a long time."
Ye Xing said, "You look at the "Reims Military Code", start a war with the outside world, don't spend much, the wealth and land are all looted, give a part to the soldiers, and appoint them to manage the local area!" Emperor Reims, who does not spend a penny, also harvests territory"
Ye Li said, "No, the generals and soldiers have become lords, why do you still want to fight?" ”
Ye Xing said, "If you get the land, of course you have to protect it." Everything was looted, and it was possible to enslave foreigners, and prisoners of war became their slaves. The law says that after ten years, slaves can be converted into commoners, and these people have to survive again, and they have to go out to plunder"
Ye Li sighed, "What a terrible system! Organize these slaves, and then grab more land and supplies, round after round, and war becomes a necessary option."
Ye Xingdao, "The inheritance system is terrible, the code stipulates that all children, regardless of men and women, share the property of their parents equally, and the Reims people love to have a large number of children, and each child will get too little, so they will naturally leave home and rob the land and property of foreigners."
Ye Li said, "Human nature is like this, never satisfied!" With such a conspiracy and such admiration for war, it is natural that generation after generation will continue to fight abroad. Unexpectedly, war has also become a means of development, and it is still effective"
Ye Xingdao, "But there is a problem, the foreign war has lasted for 200 years, but the country of Reims is empty, a large number of people have been transferred out, it is impossible to continue, sooner or later it will be counterattacked!" ”
Ye Li said, "What will be the backlash?" ”
Ye Xingdao, "Islands and territories far away from the mainland will sooner or later be out of control and independent!" Human nature is like this, uncontrolled generals, but they will rebel"
Ye Li said, "How can you be sure? Looking at the history of Reims, there has been no record of this for 200 years."
Ye Xing was about to answer, but stopped, and several people surrounded him, and it seemed that they had heard the conversation between the two.
The discussion between the two was very soft, but the masters in the library could naturally still hear the conversation, and a few people who were interested leaned over.
Ye Xing looked at a few people, both sides nodded, and then said, "Carefully compare, the territory of the Lance Empire on the mainland was all robbed 150 years ago. For the next 150 years, I think I have been looting overseas, but if you look at the books, you will find that there are not many official records of overseas territories at all, and in fact, the local areas are semi-independent."
Ye Li was about to speak, when a person next to her suddenly said, "Yes! Most of the islands have long been independent, and the Reims Empire only owns them in name, and they really don't have half of the jurisdiction. On the contrary, the population of Reims is constantly moving out! ”
Another person also said, "I also think that Reims is actually extremely empty, not as powerful as it seems!" This holy friar, what do you think can be a real power? ”
Many people all turned their heads and looked at Ye Xing, expecting his answer.
Ye Xing thought about it, raised his right hand, and clenched his fist, before he said indifferently, "The fist must be clenched tightly to have strength!" We must not lose more people, we must stop the war, and we must use technology and commerce to enrich and strengthen the country. With its superior system, it is estimated that it will only take twenty years for Reims to become strong again."
"Good! Very insightful! A middle-aged man walked down from the second floor, handsome and brocade, still on the stairs, clapping his hands and admiring!
