Chapter 755 The vicious circle is still quenching thirst with poison, the queen's confidence

In Valentine, the Emperor's Castle towered majestically by the bay, and most of the ruins that had been hidden around it had been cleared away. Pieces of stone and wood buildings stretched out, and the city was rejuvenating.

On the balcony of the Emperor's Castle study room, Teresia looked at the scene, and the gloom on her face gradually dissipated.

"Your Majesty, didn't you come back tomorrow?"

Behind her came the voice of the Prime Minister of the Empire, who was also her uncle: "Did Aurora and Catherine not go? Your Majesty should also have a good chat with them. Even if you can't persuade them to come back, let them often come to see His Majesty and chat with His Majesty. Your Majesty should also give yourself more free time, after all, you are still..."

Realizing that he was too nagging, the Prime Minister quickly shut up.

Teresia turned her head and said indifferently: "It's nothing, Uncle, I just went to confirm what happened with Youxiang. Since it's started, there's no need to wait any longer."

She sighed and said: "As for them, they have a new understanding. I really didn't expect that someone would look down at me and judge me with pity. Why didn't I realize it at the time."

The prime minister was stunned, he didn't understand what the empress meant, but what made him stunned was not that he didn't understand, but that the empress had never talked about people like this in front of him before.

Was it Aurora or Catherine who offended the Queen?
The Prime Minister thought so, but he didn't dare to ask further questions. He mobilized his quick wit and said with a smile: "Ordinary people, sometimes ignorance and arrogance are unavoidable. Even I sometimes can't help but want to use my uncle's identity to teach His Majesty. You, that is Don't pay attention to your body..."

Teresia chuckled, shook her head and said, "Okay, uncle, your sloppy skills have really improved, let's get down to business."

The prime minister nodded repeatedly and began to report on his work.

Talking about ordinary things, the Prime Minister got down to business, and that's what he was here for.

"The Extraordinary Power Accelerated School project promoted by His Majesty is developing rapidly. As of this month, more than 600 schools have been built in the various governor-generals and directly subordinate areas of the empire. In addition to the schools established by various kingdoms and principalities using the empire's self-help funds, the total number has reached There are more than 10 schools, and the first phase of students is close to [-]."

Teresia nodded, although she was one body of man and god, this matter still made her extremely proud.

She spends an hour or two every day inspecting these schools. All schools are connected to the joint communication network through small communication towers. The information of all principals, tutors, and students are stored in the terminals of the communication towers, which is convenient for her to check.

She also randomly chose a school to talk to the principal the next day, and even met with mentors and students through projections.She felt it was worth the effort and the millions of gold bushels.

On this matter, she also had to agree with Aurora's point of view. Social progress has brought about many good changes.Armed with a communication network, coupled with her divine-human focus, she can directly watch over this young plant as it thrives.

The nobles of the Dawn Empire need to regain their vitality, and the key lies in these students.They are basically free people and grassroots nobles, and have not been infected by decadent nobles.Just like her knight or priest apprentice, she can listen to her teachings closely and get the initial guidance.

After they enter various positions in the imperial legion, government affairs hall, court, etc., they can gradually replace the old nobles who still hold the power at the grassroots level. Lay a solid foundation.

One thousand... This scale is enough. Calculated at the rate of one period per year, 10 people change their destiny through this way every year and become candidates for the new nobles of the empire. This number is already sufficient.If it is flooded, it will be reduced to the point where the city guards have the title of imperial knight, and the system will decay.

Teresia said: "The goal of scale has been achieved, and the next step is to improve the facilities and improve the quality. Uncle, you mentioned that you want to establish the Ministry of Education of the Empire and let the Ministry of Education take care of this matter. I agree. The Secretary of Education Candidates, I will personally choose."

The Prime Minister lowered his head, frowned again, and said cautiously: "However, there are still some problems, and I think it is necessary to report to His Majesty."

The queen nodded: "Say..."

The Prime Minister talked about two issues. The first is the issue of the fast-track schools being controlled by the nobles.Not only in the Kingdom District and the Principality District, but even in some schools in the Governor's District and the directly subordinate districts, the principals and tutors are influenced by the nobles, and the first class of students are the children of the nobles.

The Queen asked: "How serious is the situation? Is it more than halfway?"

The Prime Minister hesitated for a moment, and said reluctantly, "It's almost here."

The queen seemed to have known it for a long time, and said disapprovingly: "Everything is like this for ordinary people. It is impossible to be perfect. I am already very satisfied that half of the students are really from the grassroots."

"And the half of the noble children, although the original intention is to use the educational resources of the empire, and will not become soldiers and guards, but it may not be transformed into the strength we need."

"I'm considering selecting a group from seminaries and magic schools in various places, or building some new ones, as public colleges supported by the empire's financial support, and selecting outstanding talents from the accelerated schools to the academy. There will be a higher starting point, just like the Royal Colleges in various kingdoms."

"Such academies will carry out stricter supervision to ensure that there is no food for nothing. If those noble children are really talented, they can enter the students and make greater contributions to the empire. It is the best of both worlds."

She instructed: "The empire should resolutely refute such things in form. If it is actually supervised, it is enough to govern those nobles who ignore the authority of the empire and take the assets of the empire as their own."

The Prime Minister did not respond, and then said: "There is another problem. Your Majesty has called on all forces to establish fast-track schools. The momentum is very strong. In addition to the schools under the name of the empire, preliminary statistics currently have more than 2000 privately-founded fast-track schools in the empire. , recruiting more than 30 students."

Teresia didn't pay attention to this aspect, and there were no communication towers in those schools to receive her for her inspection.

She took a breath, more than 2000, 30! ?
The queen was a little unbelievable: "How could it be..."

The prime minister smiled wryly: "Everyone wants to become a transcendent. As long as you learn a divine technique or magic, even if you are only a trainee apprentice, you can pull the trigger of the magic gun and manipulate the magic machine, and your destiny will change. So even if you have mud legs The children are hungry and even borrow usurious loans, and they want to go to school to study."

"In the old days, children from minor nobles had to be very talented in order to be favored by their mentors or selected by the church, and it cost a lot of money, let alone commoners."

"No matter how high the school fees are now, there is a clear way, and it is cheaper and less costly than following mentors and churches in the past."

"Your Majesty's advocacy is divine will. With this divine will, everyone will no longer point to supernatural beings and the church to recruit apprentices. Many magicians and churches have turned the matter of recruiting apprentices into opening schools."

The queen has not yet figured it out: "I am indeed advocating them, because this kind of thing is not profitable, so I push them to do it. I don't expect them to do anything, and what I expect from them is just pretending."

"Don't they expect to make money from the students? Aren't they all poor people or even mud legs who are eager to change their fate? What can they earn? And what can people who come out of those schools do? The empire doesn't have that much money. All are recruited.”

A smug feeling of warmth flashed across the Prime Minister's heart. Sure enough, there were things that the Queen couldn't see and didn't understand!
"They are profitable," the Prime Minister said in a low tone: "Magic workshops opened all over the country, business houses that use magic tools to do various businesses, and even Grand Duke Tangus's news agency and Mirage Agency require a large number of people who can at least With a transcendent of divine arts and magic."

"The cost of self-cultivation by workshops and commercial firms is too high, and the success rate is difficult to guarantee. With such a demand, of course all regions will set up their own crash schools."

The queen's face sank, she realized the seriousness of the problem.

This means that there will be extraordinary people who are several times beyond the empire's education system, and they will be outside the empire's control, because the power does not come from the empire, and they are either magic apprentices or believers of other gods. They must have no loyalty to the empire.They are only loyal to the workshops and trading houses that pay them, like lawless mercenaries and adventurers.

She was annoyed that she agreed with Aurora's point of view just now. Sure enough, the price and harm of social progress are here!

The Prime Minister continued: "There are other signs that are disturbing. The Duchess Hathaway not only opened several magic schools, but also founded a magic academy. She runs the academy as...a business, claiming that she can accept all kinds of wizards. Commissioned by the workshop, to research various magic tools for them."

"Several workshops took the lead in obtaining the technology of small flying boats and floating vehicles, and obtained large orders. Now this model has been borrowed by other magicians and even some churches, and various academies have begun to be established."

The queen shook her head and said: "This is flying into the abyss of evil, this is not acceptable!"

The prime minister sighed: "I also understand His Majesty's worries, but there is no way to control it. Moreover, with the spread of various affairs of the empire, the prosperity of workshops and commercial banks, the empire can also obtain more tax revenue."

The queen said coldly: "The meaning of the existence of the empire is to maintain order, not to make money."

The prime minister's face twisted, he knew that the queen would be disgusted by this situation, but if he suppressed it by force... from his point of view, how to suppress it?

Businessmen are not allowed to make money?

Do not allow civilians to grow into superhumans?
Mortals are not allowed to pursue a better life?
So is your god a good god or an evil god?

"Of course I don't object to people's pursuit of a better life." The queen also understood his thoughts, sighed and said, "However, this wave is driven by the development of magic technology, and will eventually damage the order that safeguards the fundamental interests of mortals. "

When I said it, I was also thinking about how to deal with it. Of course, direct suppression is stupid. By the way, why not turn suppression into absorption and guidance?
The queen suddenly became enlightened, and said to the prime minister: "There must be a lot of evil things in this momentum, right?"

"Of course." The Prime Minister smiled wryly: "Even necromancers have come out to run schools, and there are supernatural beings who use the name of the school to abuse students as private property at will. Various churches of evil gods also use the name of the school to recruit. Believers, in short, are bizarre."

"very good……"

The queen said with relief: "Then the empire must supervise the private schools themselves!"

"All schools are certified by the Ministry of Education of the Empire. Nobles, workshops, and commercial firms can run schools, but in addition to collecting taxes, students must be selected by the empire first, and the rest have the right to choose."

"All schools that have not been certified will be banned, even if there is no form, it is the same as the school's behavior in essence."

The Prime Minister's forehead is sweating, and the empire is about to usher in great turmoil...

He hurriedly said: "We need to make some... public opinion preparations, otherwise everyone will misunderstand His Majesty's intentions."

The queen agreed: "Leave it to Mordwin, he is very professional."

The prime minister was still worried, and then asked: "But in this way, the empire's school expenses will be terrible, and there are so many students trained, can the empire accept it?"

The queen smiled coldly and said, "Uncle, since the workshops and commercial firms are so developed, why hasn't the empire's tax revenue improved much? Shouldn't it be a good time to complete this part of the work? And the tax collection is not for money, but for management. Ordinary people will not use magic technology to disrupt order."

"As for where the students are going, don't worry..."

There was a cold light in the empress's eyes: "The war will never stop. The tranquility now is just the calm before the storm. Maybe 100 million people will not be enough for the future imperial army."

"Don't forget, before the order we hope to return, there is still one... no, maybe two great enemies."

The Prime Minister resigned wiping his sweat, returned to the Imperial Office, found the Minister of Propaganda, Mordwin, and told him about it.

"Great!"

Mordwin patted the table and said excitedly: "Finally, it's time to serve His Majesty again with words, language and art!"

He was eloquent: "Let's expose the things about those schools first! No, the empire can't show up first, we have to find those folk news agencies and bards, let them expose, and form a wave of noise!"

"Then push all forces and call on the empire to come forward to manage these schools! At that time, the empire will officially show up and His Majesty will announce those control measures!"

Although the Prime Minister had expected it, he was still shocked by Mordwin's thinking: "Is this okay? Didn't Your Majesty say that she is a human being and God is one, and she will never play with people's hearts?"

"Your Excellency," Mordwin said beamingly, "If we don't occupy the position of public opinion, the enemy will occupy it! On the front of public opinion, we must do everything we can! On this battlefield, we must implement virtues such as honesty." , is the greatest cowardice!"

This sentence is quite familiar, but the prime minister can't remember who said it before.

After thinking about it, he decided to ignore Mordwin's affairs.

Indeed, even in the queen's empire, under the will of the goddess, there will always be enemies.

In the Queen's study, Teresia was also talking about the enemy with the Minister of Internal Affairs Brintto.

"Although the Kingdom of Ironshirt Castle and the Kingdom of Pegasus have received our assistance, Romulus has also received more assistance from Li Qi. Their fish fighters and dragon armor make Mosmut's aircraft very It is difficult to parry, and there must be a sufficient numerical advantage to pose the necessary threat to Romulus."

The Dawn Empire secretly supported the enemies of Romulus on the northern and southern fronts of the Holy Will Empire through the Temple of Commerce, and Brintor was in charge of this matter.

Judging from Brintto's expression, the situation is not very good.

"I also secretly inspected the workshops of Mosmoot and Zolder. Their production capacity cannot meet the needs of the empire and aid at the same time. Your Majesty should promote more workshops to join the research and production of magical weapons. "

When Brintto said this, Teresia frowned again when she thought of what the Prime Minister said just now.

This is simply a vicious circle. If the empire wants to contain the enemy and accumulate strength for the next step of destroying the enemy, it must first damage the order it insists on.

When the power is sufficient, the order within the empire may also be pushed to the brink of collapse, right?
This kind of thing seems to have been heard from Li Qi, and he even used a proverb to describe it, what is it?

Oh... drink poisoned wine to quench your thirst...

no, I can not……

Teresia shook her head slightly, no, she is one with man and god, and can bring back the runaway order at any time.

The most important thing now is not to allow Romulus to unify Sifein, so that he can free up his hands and launch a decisive battle with the god of tyranny behind him.

So, first follow the strategy just formulated to guide this restless force within the empire to war.

Seeing her shaking her head, Brintto asked puzzledly, "Your Majesty?"

"Oh, it's nothing," Teresia said, "I will advance this matter. You first try to help the two countries from other directions. In addition, tell them that they have to show some strength at the Temple of Commerce. Continue to shrink back , I will believe that they have the intention of making me and Romulus both lose, and I will not show mercy at that time."

Brintol respectfully agreed, and after he left, Teresia rubbed her forehead.Just using the spirit of ordinary people to solve government affairs is really exhausting.

She activated the summons ring and asked, "Teacher, how is the situation on your side?"

Meddy's voice came from the ring: "The materials are ready, I am refining them in the magic tower, and I will come over tomorrow to deal with them."

He paused, and asked with some concern: "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to unfreeze now?"

Teresia thought for a while, and said with a firm expression: "I'm sure, if I delay, I'm afraid I don't have that much time. When the time comes, I will make one last effort. If it doesn't work, I will give up completely."

Meddy sighed: "Well, no matter what His Majesty decides, I will support you and help you if you need anything."

Teresia smiled lightly: "Maybe you need to continue teaching a princess."

Meddy smiled wryly over there: "It's an honor, this is the fourth era... No, the most honorable princess in all eras."

After the communication ended, Teresia stared blankly in her seat.

After a long time, she sighed softly: "Li Qi, if I still fail by then, it will be your failure too. As the price for your arrogance, you will lose it forever before you get it."

As she spoke, her eye circles were a little red, and she shook her head bitterly: "As a mortal, I really have nothing, why..."

Just when the nasal sound came out and she was taking a breath, another ring on her hand was glowing and hot.

After confirming that it was the ring, Teresia's expression suddenly became serious.

She held down the crystal ball on the desk and said anxiously, "Cerin Sarah! Meteor! Make an emergency call!"

In a moment, the figures of two young girls, one red and one silver, condensed in the study, they were the red dragon and the silver dragon.

"Sylvie's incident with Brad has come to light. She needs help. Let's go together!"

Teresia waved her hand and changed into a military uniform, standing with the two dragon girls, the ring was activated, turned into a phantom, and gradually disappeared.
