Stepping into the main entrance of the government affairs building, Todd first saw a tall bronze statue standing in the center of the lobby on the first floor.

　　 This bronze statue holds the Bible with one hand on its chest, and the palm of the other hand is raised to the sky. The overall design adopts the sculptural techniques of the ancient Tailuo period. The facial features are three-dimensional and plump like mythological figures, the eyes are firm and inspiring, and the body lines are full of muscle bursting tension, which is amazing to see.

　　 Huggins, who was busy maintaining order with the guards, suddenly heard Todd's voice behind him: "Who is this statue?"

　　 Hudgens turned his head hard and gave Todd an awkward smile: "Of course it's you!"

　　 Todd, who almost didn't mention it, opened his eyes wide and looked at the sculpture, cursing inwardly, this is nothing like me!

Since Todd rarely appeared in public, when the news of the King’s appearance in the City Hall spread among the crowd, the raging crowd on the street rushed into the hall, in order to get a glimpse of the Holy Spirit. Yan.

　　 Seeing more and more people pouring into the hall, soldiers and officials struggled to maintain order on the scene with their bodies. Todd gave up his plan to stay, walked through the hall and walked to the back of the first floor of the government affairs hall.

　　 opened the door, and a church service room familiar to Todd was presented before his eyes.

　　The old benches were neatly arranged together, and the cracked floor was cleaned up. Crosses, preachers, and candle holders, past memories flashed in Todd's mind.

　　 Hudgens came behind him and said softly: "Everything here is exactly the same as before."

　　 Todd nodded: "Yes, it's the same as before."

　　 Both of the two in the room fell silent, thinking of the bitter experience of the past few years, with a lot of emotion.

　　 stayed for almost five minutes, and Todd came to the back porch from the side door and followed the spiral staircase to the second floor.

　　 Joe, Elijah, Ulysses and others brought officials at all levels and waited early in the lobby on the second floor to welcome the king's arrival.

　　 Hudgens walked to Todd's side and said to him: "People above the level of agriculture, personnel, and urban construction planning are here. The tax and legal departments are absent because they are out of office. As for the commercial department..."

　　 Thinking of the Raglan couple, Todd sighed and said to Huggins, "Let the chief advisers of the kingdom stay, and the others return to their positions and continue to work."

　　 A few minutes later, the only officials left were Joe the monk in charge of agriculture, Elijah in charge of urban construction planning, and Ulysses.

　　 Hudgens said to Todd: "Sir Emerson, who manages the personnel department, seldom comes to the government affairs hall because he is also the clerk of the royal family. Most of the affairs are handled by the second adviser Ulysses."

　　 Todd nodded and moved his feet. While visiting the government affairs hall, he said to everyone: "Please introduce each department you belong to."

The monk in charge of agriculture, Joe, first said: "Your Majesty, the agricultural department is mainly responsible for the kingdom's agriculture-related affairs, ranging from seed selection to large warehouse building, all within our scope of responsibility. As for the composition of department officials, in addition to academics in agriculture, It is mainly composed of the three friars of San Sidlo, Mileć, and Svolenfk. At present, it has a total of twelve branches and a total of 96 officials."

　　 Elijah, who was in charge of urban construction planning, had only met Todd a few times, but left a very deep impression on the latter.

　　The reason is very simple. The protégé of Master Terrence, in terms of knowledge reserves and expertise, is simply too much more than normal people.

Not only is the current head of the planning of the Kingdom’s city, according to Todd’s knowledge, he is also the designer and painter of the Mussy Cathedral, the president of the Theatre and Performance Association, and even the Mussy Shipyard and the Mussy Knights. He served as a ship and ordnance designer in the regiment.

"Your Majesty, the urban construction planning is mainly responsible for the regional planning and construction restrictions of the city, including the division of arable land, forest land, pasture, commercial, residential, industrial and other land. In addition, the planning and construction of urban sewers, diversion channels, and waste transportation channels are also We are in charge. There are nine branches and a total of 63 officials."

　　 Finally, Ulysses' turn.

　　 This young man in his twenties is the youngest among the three, and he is also the only department head.

"Your Majesty, three months ago, I passed the exam and became the secretary of Lord Emerson. When the Lord was away, I was in charge of temporary affairs related to the Kingdom’s public personnel. Mainly including the acquisition, review and deprivation of urban residents’ qualifications. The organization and planning of official examinations, the external recruitment of public facilities maintenance personnel, and the promotion and demotion of all officials. Now there are 12 branches and a total of 128 officials."

　　 Todd wandered on each floor while listening to the report.

　　 looked around, he was surprised to find that many design elements here actually refer to the research institute in the soul space.

　　 An upright screen that separates people, a glass cabinet that can be used to store documents and reports, and a well-equipped rest room.

　　 Turning his gaze to Elijah behind him, Todd asked, "You did the design here?"

　　 "Yes, Your Majesty, I have referred to the creation place of heaven in many places."

　　 Todd was taken aback: "The place of creation?"

　　 After reacting to what's going on, Todd said in his heart: Take your name as you like, it's not an important thing anyway.

　　 After looking around in the government affairs hall, Todd had a simple lunch with everyone, and stepped on the carriage again.

　　 "Next, go to Muxi University."

　　 After saying this, Todd, a little tired, leaned on the soft back of the carriage and took a nap.

　　 When he woke up again, the carriage had stopped at the gate of the university.

　　 Looking at the sky outside through the car window, Todd asked Huggins outside the car: "You didn't wake me up?"

　　 Huggins, who was standing next to the carriage, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it’s a rare rest time. It’s always good to get a little more sleep."

　　 After finishing his clothes, Todd got out of the carriage, and the scene at the door stunned him in place.

　　 Hundreds of scholars have already stood at the gate of Muxi University, waiting for the king to appear. Among these people are the respected academic master Terrence, as well as scholars and elites from various countries.

　　 Todd walked to Huggins's side and said in a deep voice, "You really should wake me up sooner! How can these scholars wait for me here for so long?!"

Huggins smiled bitterly and whispered to Todd: "Your Majesty, at first I wanted to wake you up early, but when the scholars arrived, Master Terrence told me not to disturb you and let you sleep a little longer. ."

Hearing this, Todd was deeply moved. He walked quickly to Terrence. He just wanted to say something, but the other party first said: "When I was in Taylor City, I was sitting at home today, and I might be sent to you tomorrow. The torture frame. Some people even make the coffins while they are alive. In this era of darkness everywhere, Twilight City has become our only and last refuge. In order to protect this land, let us You don't have to hesitate to give your life, let alone wait for the king to wake up?"

　　 After saying this, Terrence blinked at Todd and laughed like no one else.

　　 Hearing this, Todd also laughed.

　　 Next, Todd, accompanied by a group of scholars, began to visit this newly built university.

　　 Terrence walked in the forefront, personally as the king's guide, explaining the origin and structure of Muxi University for the latter.

"Miss West College was originally located near the port area, with complicated personnel, extremely noisy environment, and lack of academic atmosphere. Aside from this, the key problem is that the place is too narrow to accommodate so many teachers and students." Terrence pointed to the land in front of him and said, "So, we made a request to the royal family to relocate the school site. After your majesty your approval, a group of scholars and I have been investigating for a long time. In the end, this plain in the north of the city was selected."

Terrence took a deep breath and looked very satisfied with the place in front of him: "The campus covers an area of ​​more than 500,000 square meters. The planned construction includes a school building, residences, gardens, laboratories, and cafeterias. Of 23 buildings. Once completed, it will undoubtedly be the largest school in the parish."

　　 Todd looked around. The construction pattern of Muxi University is clearly the same as that of the previous university. It should be Terrence who found the blueprints and photos when looking through the computer information.

Terrence pointed to the construction site in the distance and said: "After the land problem is solved, money has become the biggest problem. Building materials, equipment procurement, and road greening all require a lot of money. We made an estimate, The completion of the university may require an investment of about 400,000 silver months."

　　 Todd frowned when he heard this, and said, "If I remember correctly, in the construction budget proposal of Muxi University, you only wrote that you hope the national treasury will allocate 200,000 silver months."

"Yes." Terrence nodded towards Todd: "Mu West University is not only a matter for the kingdom, but also a matter for us scholars. We can't comfortably let the kingdom pay out all the construction funds~www.mtlnovel .com~ So at the beginning, we only wrote about half of the funding assistance on the proposal."

　　 "How did you get the other half of the funds?"

　　 "Solicit donations."

　　 "Donation?!"

　　 Terrence pointed to his nose and smiled and said to Todd: "Your Majesty, you must not underestimate us bad old men. Compared with the speed of spending money, our ability to find money is not bad at all!"

Terrence held his finger and counted them one by one: "The first way, scholars like us who were once teachers, have more or less taught a few students from good backgrounds. Some of them are nobles with prominent backgrounds, It's the merchants of the rich side. As long as we are willing to put down this old face and write a letter to ask for some money from them, it will not be difficult."

"The second way is that many of us have property in other kingdoms, such as mansions, vineyards, mills, etc. I persuaded them to sell all the properties, donate the money to the university, and then settle in Twilight West City."

"The third method is to sell patents. At this point, I must first thank your majesty for the patent law promulgated. Without this law, naturally there would be no way to make money. Many of our inventions and theories can be applied to the handicraft industry. In addition to commerce, selling these patent rights can be exchanged for large sums of money."

　　 Terrence continued with a smile: "It is with these three methods that we finally made up the remaining 200,000 silver months, and the construction of the university is proceeding as scheduled."

　　 While talking, a group of people came to a concrete building.

　　 Todd was about to walk through the gate, when a tall and thin scholar ran out hurriedly and almost ran into the king.
