By now, the nobles had to compromise, and they had realized how firm the will of King Arthur was.The family business that had been passed down for generations collapsed in one day.
As a result, the nobles compromised, but it was the people's turn to be at a loss.
"King, please think twice."
"I... our family is farming for the master, what should we do?"
"I can't achieve great things, don't hold back the big guys."
This is even more impressive!Merlin was horrified. In his opinion, this incident was a good show directed and performed by King Arthur in order to rectify the nobles. From the beginning to the end, the people were just spectators, and now they are turning around to embarrass Liya, without self-knowledge.
Merlin quickly looked at Hayasaka Ai, but the blond king was not as angry as he thought, on the contrary, his smile was even brighter.
Liya...so you can laugh so happily.
Seeing these simple people, the traveler couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic in his heart, and remembered that he also left such a group of people, the lofty mountains, and the poverty he thought he had.Whether right or wrong, success or failure turns head empty, the only ones who can touch themselves in the end are those who face the loess and back to the sky.
Drifting north, crossing south, taking the west exit... In the end, everyone was a kite flying far away, and they didn't break free from the seemingly fragile string until their death.
I can't go back home, but I can still grasp the present.
Ai Hayasaka raised her arms and shouted loudly, "Don't worry, everyone, since I can say that, there must be a way to accommodate the folks. From now on, you don't need to be the bodyguards of the nobles anymore."
"Not only that, but your children will also have the opportunity to get rid of the shackles of the land. They will have the opportunity to receive education and become the literate people you have always admired."
"And these people can carry the future of Britain."
She understands the hysteresis in these people's hearts. They who have been cultivating for thousands of years must be apprehensive about the new era. Her task is to appease them, give them pride and give them the right to stand up.
"Come on, I'll take you to a place."
Chapter 71
The establishment of a school is part of the five-year plan, and it has achieved certain results in the past two years.Ai Hayasaka took precautions to train a group of fresh troops so that they could succeed the nobles and become officials with professional qualities in the future.
Everything is inferior, but reading is high. This is the concept engraved in the bones of the flower planters. As one of the beneficiaries of compulsory education, the traversers will naturally spare no effort to carry it forward.
Wangcheng was getting more and more crowded, so the school simply set up a space in the outskirts.
In this way, Ai Hayasaka came to this humble school with a large number of people. Although it was different from what she had imagined, she finally took the first difficult step, and tomorrow will definitely be better.The civilian children of all ages but with a certain literacy foundation are distributed here, which is the future of Britain.
The teachers are also carefully selected. Ai Hayasaka and Meilin also give lectures from time to time, and they are also one of the teachers that the students are familiar with.
As for the aristocrats and whatnot, it has been left behind, people will not remember the guy who was swept into the dustbin of history, and Aggraven will take care of the aftermath.
In this way, Ai Hayasaka brought everyone to the school.
"Teacher Pandoragon!"
"Teacher Merlin!"
"Great, seeing the big sister Knight again!"
Ai Hayasaka deliberately chose an area where relatively young students are concentrated, so as to arouse everyone's desire for protection and make it easier to promote the work.Well, definitely not because I like watching cute little lolita.
"You're in good spirits today, Sister Nita." Ai Hayasaka leaned down and stroked the leading blonde girl with braids.
Nita seemed to have recognized her gender from the very beginning, and although she didn't deliberately hide it, she had always been the one who dared to speak out, perhaps she could be regarded as the emperor's new clothes in a sense.
She is a smart and brave girl, maybe she can try to train her specially.
"Everyone, be quiet." Hayasaka Ai clapped her hands lightly, her majesty deeply rooted in the hearts of the people calmed down the group of children playing.
At this time, Merlin organized some civilians to listen closely. Fortunately, the classroom was big enough to accommodate about a hundred people, and other people could hear it even if they were surrounded by others.Although they are simple, they feel envious when they look at the children sitting in the classroom. They imagine that their children will be able to study one day and will no longer be bound by farming.
Really... Will there be such a day?
The cooperation between Meilin and Ai Hayasaka was so tacit, he moistened things and organized a podium silently, just waiting for Ai Hayasaka to open his golden mouth.
King Arthur stroked the blackboard covered with crooked words, and praised, "You have learned quickly, not bad."
Being praised by King Arthur, who was praised by all the adults in his family, the children became excited one by one.Nita, on the other hand, was not arrogant or impetuous, sitting on the seat with a flickering look of anticipation.
"You all know some words, so do you want to understand why you read now?"
Hayasaka Ai stopped the children with a word, and even the people couldn't help being confused for a while.Yes, it seems that reading can become an official and make you prosperous... But if you tell children that, will they understand?Or, why should I send my children to study?
When a doubt arose in the hearts of everyone, Ai Hayasaka continued, "You see, you are not good enough. Just like this, you read less, and you don't even understand the reason why you need to read more."
"So, those guys who advocate the uselessness of reading must be bastards who haven't read."
The enlightening words made everyone feel enlightened.
"Not good enough, because you didn't give full play to your subjective initiative to study. To put it bluntly, now the whole of Great Britain doesn't know why you want to study."
"I will tell you the answer now..."
Following Ai Hayasaka's words, everyone's attention was mobilized, and everyone listened carefully with their eyes wide open and their necks stretched out.
Even a wise man like Merlin is no exception. He has long regarded the girl as a person with higher skills than himself. Since Liya dared to say that, it must be reasonable, and Merlin also concentrated his attention with the mentality of learning from the scriptures.
I saw Hayasaka Ai knocking on the blackboard and saying the warning that has been passed down through the ages:
"Build a heart for the world, establish a life for life, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations."
"A strong young man will make the country strong, and a wise young man will make the country wise. Only the knowledge you learn can lead the development of Britain in the future, and the people behind you will be the cornerstone of the future of Britain. Time flies, and nothing in this world can Beats time, yet knowledge and ideas survive."
"Why do the barbarians I can easily fight are dying, because they don't have their own heritage, and to destroy their country, they must first destroy their history, but they don't have any history at all. In contrast, we have the power to rise from the ruins again and again .”
The blond king took off his crown and held up the symbol of power.
"One day, the king is gone, the knights are gone, and the capital is gone... That day will come, and if you want to embrace the new era, you have to throw away the old things. However, Britain is still there, thanks to you people From the depths of his thoughts. From then on, even after a hundred years of vicissitudes, there will be a moment of great unity in the world, and this is eternity."
Travelers have already seen such a country, and it is their hometown, a land they will always be proud of.
Hayasaka Ai didn't expect children to understand much of these words, she wanted the knights and commoners around to remember them.The concept of the mainstay of society will naturally affect the new generation.
Finally, blossom and bear fruit.
Maybe it was a very long process, maybe it couldn't be done by myself, but Ai Hayasaka still has to work hard for it.
How many great achievements, there used to be a name called "Knowing that you can't do it"
Ai Hayasaka made the final decision, "From now on, Wangcheng will vigorously support the cause of education, and the funds will be directly allocated from the finance, and have the same priority as military expenditures."
There was a burst of cheers all around. Of course, the adults were very happy that their children had the opportunity to study. They were grateful to King Arthur for such a policy.On the other hand, the children in the classroom don't quite understand, or don't realize that the burden of schoolwork is coming.
However, they certainly do not have as many opportunities to enjoy "serious beatings" as later generations. The professional quality required in Britain at this stage is still very low. Basically, it is a year to train officials to enter the job.
And these children in front of them are actually the "elite class" specially selected by Ai Hayasaka, and they are the existences that may provoke Britain in the future.If there are no changes during the period, Ai Hayasaka plans to train the successors of the kingdom and the second generation of staff here.
The turmoil caused by the nobles' self-righteousness was suppressed by Ai Hayasaka lightly, and instead made a fortune by making use of the topic.
This far-reaching strategy made Merlin overwhelmed.
Chapter 72
Education is internal strength, while external martial arts is to enrich the country and strengthen the army.
After several days of continuous taxation, a large amount of wealth began to gather in the royal city, and carts of grain, cloth and coins formed rivers and entered from various city gates.There are still many barter imaginations in this era, and the currency economy has not been established, so most of the taxes paid are materials.
When these materials were stacked together on the square in front of the city hall, it was simply a towering mountain, and Ai Hayasaka's eyes were straightened when he saw it.
The traveler played financial games such as short selling and selling in his previous life. His wealth was a series of numbers that actually represented the bubble economy. He really had no idea about the materialization of wealth.Putting these things in front of you is indeed very impactful.
Hayasaka Ai looked excited, she had already thought about where the money went.
Of course, education and military expenses cannot be saved, but it is estimated that there is still a lot of surplus.It is also time to repair the royal city, and Camelot will soon stand on this land.
Maybe I can spend part of the money to build ships. The Mediterranean Sea is full of turbulent waves. Why can't I have an invincible fleet across the four seas?As long as you still think about Constantinople in the Black Sea Strait, you must have the support of a powerful navy.
"Mr. Aggui, how much are these supplies worth?" Ai Hayasaka asked excitedly.
"Report to the king, this tax has been roughly estimated to be about 5 million pounds, which is equivalent to the total income of three years in normal times."
Aggrevan reported excitedly.
There was a gleam of admiration in his eyes, and he obviously admired Hayasaka Ai's achievements in governing, and felt ashamed.In ancient times, taxation was definitely an arena full of games, and it was commonplace to exploit layers upon layers, so how much tax the king could collect was a very important measure.
Being able to gather such a large amount of wealth directly shows that King Arthur has outstanding abilities. After two years of dormancy, he became a blockbuster.Agguiwen originally thought that the tax rate was too low, but now that he saw such a large amount of wealth, he suddenly felt that King Arthur was far-sighted.
Guaranteed fiscal surplus, and there is no objection from the people, this is called sleight of hand.In the eyes of Agravin, King Arthur's ability is second to none.
Ai Hayasaka rubbed her chin and muttered to herself, "It seems that Britain has become richer."
In fact, in order to reduce the burden on the people, the tax rate is not high this time. On the condition that it does not affect the financial expenditure, the early shift love greatly reduces the tax.
If it can be used to further stimulate Britain's already vigorous commodity economy, then the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages.The traveler is a tenacious character in his bones, and he never minds tightening his belt for the long-term future.Besides, he wasn't really stingy. In fact, this wealth was already very large, and it surpassed the total income of King Uther's three-year period in one breath.
Don't think that this number is exaggerated, in fact, it is largely because there are no nobles to pluck the feathers in the middle.
Ai Hayasaka realized more and more how difficult it was for the dead King Uther. He was just like a Chongzhen. It was thanks to Meilin's running that he didn't hang on the crooked neck tree.
In this way, this Mei Lin is happy to be happy, but he is a capable minister who is similar to Zhang Juzheng who can rejuvenate and turn the tide.
As soon as Merlin was mentioned, Hayasaka Ai remembered that she hadn't seen this guy for a few days.
"By the way, where is Merlin now?"
Although the joy monster is annoying, but Ai Hayasaka is not used to the feeling of clean ears.
"Your Excellency Merlin said that the elves of Avalon had something to do with him, so they asked the king for a few days off..." Agguiwen said respectfully, "But according to him, Vivienne, the elf of the lake, sent an envoy to bring him a message. , so it shouldn't take too long."
"That's right, Your Excellency Aggresvin."
At this time, Lancelot, who escorted the last batch of supplies to the square, said, "When I came back, I saw His Excellency Merlin drinking alone at the former site of the King's Sword."
Does Nightmare Drink?They probably won't be drunk.
Hayasaka Ai didn't think about Merlin any more, and asked Lancelot, "You have been out for a while, is there any new trend with the dragon Vortigern recently?"
Lance replied respectfully, "My lord, the battle report came from the front line: His Excellency Bedivere and His Excellency Gawain have successfully joined forces, and they led the Knights to station in the area around Changhu Town. However, the magic dragon spewed raging fire from the high mountain to surround The entire town was destroyed, and the knights could not cross the line of fire, so they could only temporarily surround one side and rescue the nearby villages."
"During this period, His Excellency Gawain teamed up with His Excellency Bedivere to defeat the dragon, but even the strength of the two Knights of the Round Table could not resist the incarnation of the will of the island, and they did not even break the indestructible dragon scale."
"According to the intelligence, the demon dragon Vortigern robbed the girls and treasures of the surrounding villages from time to time, but they only kept the treasures behind. It said that it didn't like crooked melons and cracked dates, so it took the initiative to let the girls go."
This dragon has quite a personality.Hayasaka Ai thought.
Changing to my own aesthetics has always been the concept of rather lacking than indiscriminate. It must have connotation and temperament, otherwise, if it is just a good look and a good life, it will be different from a young model in a club.
Lancelot continued, "In addition, I also heard that the dragon Vortigern invaded Avalon, the kingdom of elves. In short, it only woke up for about a month and brought a heavy disaster to the whole of Britain. Both humans and elves hate it."
"Report to the king, Lancelot asks for orders to support Changhu Town, and may the king allow it."
