On the Seven Towers

At this time, the two of them happened to reach the edge of the roof. Ji Yijun reached down and made a gesture of invitation.

Aola looked at the ground, then at Ji Yijun's appearance, and said angrily: "Don't you know how to help a lady?"

"Lady? A lady on the roof? Why didn't you use support when you jumped up?" Ji Yijun covered his forehead and said, "You are a mid-level warrior!"

"I am a lady first, and a mid-level warrior second."

"Strong words."

Aola didn't care what he said, she just stretched out one hand diagonally. In Ji Yijun's eyes, he felt like a Lafayette from the TV series.

Ji Yijun sneered secretly, the yellow-haired girl really didn't know how to live or die. He took a step forward and pressed his chest against Aura's back, put his hand heavily on her waist, and put his other hand through the gap between her fingers, interlocking his fingers to hold her hand.

Aura let out a short exclamation, but before she could say anything, Ji Yijun leaned forward, hugged her and jumped off the roof.

Falling to the ground, Aura hurriedly left Ji Yijun's arms.

Ji Yijun originally thought that he would be retaliated by the other party.

Unexpectedly, Aura's face turned slightly red and she said cheerfully: "This is a bit chivalrous."

"I am not a knight. I am not now, and I will never be in the future." Ji Yijun shrugged, "Let's go, I will take you to see where they live."

————————————————

The two of them walked through a residential area, which was composed of tube buildings with brick and wood structures. Since steelmaking has just made progress and there is not yet enough steel bars to be mass-produced, most of these buildings are built using brick and wood structures plus cement. However, these houses are much better than the temporary houses in the camp. At least they have tiles on the top, brick walls on the bottom, and the windows are all glass.

The two walked through a room on the first floor. Aura touched the cement wall and looked in through the green glass of the window. She saw that the room was square with two beds on both sides of the window. There is a table and two chairs. There are some porcelain cups and bowls on the table. There is a clothes rack by the door with a few clothes on it. Apart from this, the owner obviously didn't have much else, but the things in the room were kept very neatly, and the owner lived his life very carefully.

Aura didn't know what politeness meant, so she opened the door and entered the room. There was no peculiar smell in the room, but there was a faint fragrance. It turned out that there was a clay pot with bright yellow flowers on the table. She smelled the flowers at the table, and sat on the edge of the bed to try the hard mattress. There was no smell at all. Restricted look.

"Is this a knight's squire's room?" Aura asked curiously. In her impression, farmers' houses are often very dirty, while knight's rooms are more spacious. Only a knight's squire would live in such a room. Room.

Ji Yijun looked at the house number "Room 107, Building 3"

"The people in Building 3 are all miners."

"You, are you talking about the people who dig stones in the mines? How is that possible? Shouldn't they all live in the holes like mice every day?"

A trace of disgust flashed across Ji Yijun's face, "Miss Ola, calling anyone a mouse here is a great insult. As you can see, they are all people who live a good life, no different from me."

Aola had never seen Ji Yijun look so serious. She whispered: "Yes, I'm sorry. It's just that things here are a bit beyond my imagination."

"Then take a good look."

"Why is there no one here? They all go to work? But why are there no old people or children?" Aura asked curiously. There was a mechanical watch on her wrist, which was given to her by the school after she helped the school solve the horse thieves last time. Gift. She looked at the hands. It was ten o'clock in the morning and the entire residential area was deserted.

"Most of our population comes from the slave camps, and they are basically young adults and children, with very few elderly people. The young people naturally go to work. The children, of course, go to school." Ji Yijun waved, "Follow me Come, let me show you something.”

There is a school just across the road from the residential area. There are two signs hanging at the school entrance that read "Hewan District Primary School" and "Hewan District Middle School" respectively. Ji Yijun and the two guards holding crossbows and spears at the door nodded and took Aura into the school. The school is shaped like a mountain, and the two concave areas are the playgrounds of the primary school and the middle school. The teaching building is two stories high, with primary school and middle school teaching buildings on the left and right sides respectively, and activity rooms, laboratories and teachers' offices in the middle.

"This school is rudimentary. The Black Dragon Empire has always focused on education. I heard that the former Imperial Academy was a magnificent castle. There were gardens and hunting grounds inside," Aura said.

Ji Yijun was not angry, he asked: "Have you been there?"

Aura's face suddenly collapsed, "If it weren't for those rebellious people, how could we have grown up in the mountains? I really want to go to the imperial capital, which is now the capital of the false king. I heard that it is so prosperous. Many of these clothes were left behind by my mother. I really want to try the latest fashionable clothes in the capital.”

Ji Yijun suddenly realized that although this girl had a special status, from another perspective she was also a wild child who had not seen much of the world. Maybe jumping around on the roof just now is the most real side of her.

Seeing that she was a little sad, Ji Yijun said: "The school you mentioned is completely different from ours. There is no comparison at all. Whether it is the Black Dragon Empire or the Iberian Kingdom, can the children of civilians and slaves study? "

"Of course not. Why do they need to study? The Royal Academy will not enroll more than 100 students each year, and only children of nobles can enroll."

"You see, this is the difference between our schools. The schools here stipulate that every child must study, and those adults who have not studied have to take supplementary classes at night." Ji Yijun said, "You envy our factory and like our products, but have you ever thought that these jobs can only be done by people who have been to school and have knowledge? Otherwise, you will see a tool and don't know how to use it."

"But, I have also read some history books. If civilians can understand so much, how can they live in peace? You must know that almost all major turmoil and rebellion are finally done by knowledgeable people leading a group of people." Ola asked seriously, "After reading, the things you think about will become more and more complicated, and you will want more and more things. How can they be willing to do the same things as before? Things? Aren't you afraid that they will rebel? "

Ji Yijun sneered and said, "If they have a goal, why do they make trouble? To put it bluntly, it's because you emperors and nobles are incompetent and can't make everyone live a good life. We have an old saying called 'officials force the people to rebel', that is, if you rulers are not too oppressive, ordinary people will not fight to rebel?"

"Are the people here satisfied?" Ola asked back, "I don't believe it. There are always some people who are not satisfied."

"You are right, but the people who are dissatisfied here are a minority. Compared with us, do you think that most civilians and slaves outside Montenegro are satisfied or dissatisfied? Besides, do you think that the people in charge here are all good guys? How many people went to labor camps and went to the gallows in the riots in the past few months? Carrots are always effective when they are followed by sticks. "As they spoke, the two approached a classroom.
