Standing in front of the window of the commander's room, Todd looked at the sixteen corpses hung up on the snow-covered hills from a distance, speechless for a long time.

The sound of knocking on the door interrupted his thoughts.

After getting permission, Huggins walked into the room, looked at the back in front of the window, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the list you want me to investigate is already visible."

Todd turned around, sat on the armchair, and closed his eyes: "Read it."

Huggins took out the paper in his arms and read out the names one by one: Master Terrence, Ulysses, Dieng, Elijah... Some people have heard of Todd, some people have never heard of it.

It took five minutes for Hudgens to finish reading the long list, lowered his hand, and went into silence.

Todd opened his eyes and asked, "What are these people doing recently?"

Huggins thought for a while and said, "Most of these students or scholars come from Taylors College. They recently formed a Jade Jade Society spontaneously. They often gather together to discuss academics and current affairs..."

Seeing the head of the Kingdom Security Bureau hesitated to say something, Todd said again: "If you have anything, just say it straight, no need to hesitate."

"Yes! Your Majesty! What these people are talking about, in my opinion, is against doctrine, and even against the gods! They questioned the words in the Bible, and some even suggested that the Kingdom of Muxi should abandon the heavenly Father and uphold the truth." Harkins While talking, he found that Todd was still indifferent, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I know that you have a prejudice against the church, and you hold a permissive and even conniving attitude to the truth, but the Kingdom of Muxi and the Knights must rely on the protection of Heavenly Father. It’s not wise to allow blasphemers under the banner of truth to run wild."

Todd reached out to stop Huggins’ admonition, and slowly said, “I can understand the psychology of scholars. They have experienced the disaster of truth, and they no longer believe in kingship and religion, hoping to grasp their own destiny. This The second request for participation in legislation and justice is a temptation to desire power. Although I do not intend to make concessions, the development of the Muxi Kingdom is really not possible without them. If you don't believe it, think about it, what achievements have these people made recently? "

"Achievements?" Huggins was taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Many of them have the dual identities of teachers and researchers in the West College. They improved the criteria for judging the capabilities of heterogeneous fighters in the army, and greatly simplified the successor’s manufacturing process; they improved the firing slot and bolt hole of the crossbow machine, making the accuracy and loading of the sniper crossbow faster..."

Todd sighed as Huggins brought the results of these scholars together.

No matter what dynasty, no matter what kind of kingdom, for the monarch of a feudal country, the most troublesome thing except those usurpers, it is these intellectuals.

Knowledge has always been a double-edged sword for kingship in the era when the kingship was conferred by the gods. If used well, it can improve people's livelihood and strengthen the military; if used badly, it can hinder rule and even trigger revolution.

In the long history of previous lives, whether in Europe or Asia, the struggle between Scientology and Metaphysics has never stopped. Whether to emphasize democratic consciousness or national capacity has always been the core of political disputes.

Take today's Muxi Kingdom as an example. The constitutionalists, with scholars as the backbone, require laws and gain status to ensure their own safety. This request is not wrong, but the behavior does not meet the requirements of the times and the environment; Todd uses the prestige of the Son and the power of the Knights to implement a military dictatorship. This behavior seems problematic, but it is the only option in the current environment.

From Todd’s standpoint, he could not allow scholars to take power, nor would he give up part of the power. The cruel struggles and conflicts in another world forced him to be a dictator; but he had to rely on the power of scholars. To develop the technology and culture of the Western Kingdom.

This presents a rather contradictory situation. Todd must rely on the power of knowledge and must maintain the authority of religion. How to shift the focus of attention of scholars from the struggle for power to the research and development of science and technology is a question that he, the king, must carefully consider.

Todd, who has no clue for the time being, can only signal Huggins to pay close attention to the movements of scholars and limit their improper words and deeds, especially those who deny doctrine and calls for democracy.

Seeing Huggins closing the door and leaving, Todd was just about to sit down, and another guard knocked on the door to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Joe, please see you."

After Todd agreed, the old monk with a Mediterranean hairstyle walked in with a stack of paper.

Seeing the astonishment on the king's face, the monk Joe did not give the other party a chance to speak, and said straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, we must talk about the kingdom's financial issues."

"Financial problem?" Todd said with a puzzled look: "I read the financial report you submitted. The fiscal revenue of the Kingdom of Muxi this year is much higher than the expenditure. What's the problem?"

The monk Qiao turned out a piece of paper, pointed to the data above, and said: "Your Majesty, most of the kingdom’s income this year comes from plundering and occupation. The real income from taxes and minerals is very small, while the experimental equipment and construction Expenditures for engineering, military expansion, and food imports are expanding. If this continues, if there is no new source of income, the national treasury will run out of money by this time next year."

Todd widened his eyes, grabbed the paper and looked at it, and quickly asked, "Didn't we take down the North Stone Mine? The income from the silver ore should be enough to support the development of the kingdom!"

The monk shook his head: "The reopening of the mine requires the recruitment of manpower, the opening of the shaft, and the repair of equipment. The official start of construction will not be until April next year. After the beginning of the spring, the coalition of Yinhuan and the barbarians will attack the mine again. Whether the ore can be shipped out smoothly is a problem, let alone buying and selling."

Todd put his back on the backrest of the armchair and pinched the bridge of his nose with his hands, his head full of frustration.

Why do those who travel through the movie become kings or leaders, as long as they wave a big hand, the tiger's body is shaken, the domineering spirit is permeated, and the heroes and heroes bow their heads to vote. After opening the warehouse a few times, and then going down to the grassroots level to give a few speeches, the people always burst into tears and shouted long live the protagonist in gratitude. The loyalty instantly soared to 100 and never dropped. As for money matters, there is no need to worry about financial balance and expenditure control. It's my turn, but I have to spend a lot of energy to coordinate the relationship between factions and the contradictions of the people, and I have to find ways to raise funds. Is it possible that the difficulty that others choose when crossing is simple, and the difficulty chosen when crossing by oneself is hell?

Asking monk Joe to go back and think about the countermeasures, Todd sat in the empty room, sighed up to the sky, just about to call people to prepare some tea, the knock on the door sounded again.

What is going on today?

Three groups of people came in just two hours?

After obtaining permission, the guard opened the door and reported: "The president of the Artisans' Guild, Aiden Kerm, brought a few people and asked to see you."

Old Aiden, that honest old craftsman?

With full of doubts, Todd agreed to the request.

A few minutes later, Old Aiden walked in with two young men, one was a monk and the other appeared to be a student.

When the old craftsman entered the room, the first thing he did was to stretch out his hands and hold the heads of the two young men. The three of them knelt directly on the ground, knocking their foreheads on the carpet.

Seeing this, Todd was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?"

Aiden raised his head and whispered in his mouth: "Your Majesty, you trust me and let me manage the work of making saltpeter. But due to lax discipline, my subordinates secretly took the raw materials and embezzled them for personal use!"

Todd took the hot tea from the attendants. Hearing the words of the old craftsman, UU read www.uukanshu. com felt a little unbelievable: "Stealing raw materials? You mean, these two young people stole the dung used to make nitrate?"

Old Aiden nodded desperately, then rubbed the corners of his clothes nervously, and motioned the young people to speak quickly.

"Your Majesty! Please forgive us!" Compared to the monk who is like a quail, who only knows how to tremble, the young man dressed as another student looks more relaxed.

Todd blew the heat of the tea water, looked at the three kneeling on the carpet, and asked curiously: "You have nothing to do, what do you do to steal excrement?"

The young man's next sentence turned the tea in Todd's mouth into rain and mist and sprayed it out.

Make perfume.
