Chapter 16 Little Old Man's Growth Diary
For an empire, it is very beneficial to have a large number of talents to assist the ruler in managing the country. Similarly, if a mixed group of people dominate the government and act recklessly, it will be an incalculable disaster for the country.
disaster.
The Gary Empire is a small vassal state, a country that depends on the big powers. However, this status does not prevent such a country from having the kind of talents that are beneficial to the country, so it is called a mercenary city.
The royal city is not as chaotic as outsiders imagine. On the contrary, the orderliness makes everyone who comes here for the first time silently sigh and admire.
The Imperial Academy of the Gary Empire is the only country in the entire human empire that can provide enlightenment education to all people. The land area of the Gary Empire is proportional to its population, and the country has the ability to provide equal education to the children of nobles and commoners.
Although civilians do not have a deep family background, at least they are familiar with the relevant laws of the empire and are strict with themselves. This characteristic is reflected in every person in the Gary Empire, and the person who drives all of this is the old man in front of Lien.
Feng Lun was born into a noble family. For a child of a noble family, he should have been living and drinking since he was a child, running horses through the streets, leading a group of evil servants to do evil in and outside the city, or finding a place to learn fighting spirit or magic to increase his ability to bully others.
Capital, but Feng Lun is different. He has liked to read quietly at home alone since he was a child, and he especially likes to study history.
When he was ten years old, he came to the academy of the Gary Empire to study alone. Because his fighting spirit and magic talent were not very outstanding, he studied literature, focusing on history. When he was fifteen years old, he was recruited by the Empire.
The college was forced to drop out and be hired as a teacher.
The reason for forced withdrawal is that under normal circumstances, a student can graduate in three years in the college. However, Feng Lun played a clever trick. He failed every time in the graduation exam and was forced to repeat the grade. However, in the usual assessment, he always failed.
First.
Being number one comes with many special benefits. For example, you can enter the college's library to study for a long time without being disturbed. Three years is too short for Feng Lun. The books in the college's library are family-owned.
There is no way to borrow it, even if you buy it with money, and Feng Lun believes that knowledge is priceless, and measuring it with money is an insult to knowledge.
After seeing Feng Lun's results in the second year, the leaders of the college naturally understood what this little guy was thinking. The dean personally talked to him and asked a lot of questions. Feng Lun could answer them very easily. When asked about the reasons,
Feng Lun did not hide it. When the dean found out, he directly gave Feng Lun an excellent grade and forced him to graduate, and then handed him a letter of appointment to teach in the college.
This also made Feng Lun the youngest teacher in the vassal country, and that year he met Gary IV who came to study at the Imperial College.
Feng Lun's first class was about the history of the Anti-Magic War. At that time, Gary IV was not the emperor, but just an ordinary prince among many princes. Moreover, he did not attach much importance to history. The reason why he could take it seriously
I listened to the lecture because the hero that Gary IV admired happened in the history of the War against Demons.
And when he heard this, he knew that Feng Lun, a teacher who was about the same age as him, was not an easy person. In this class, Gary IV changed from his usual behavior and asked a lot of tricky questions. The questions were so difficult that he even sat in with him.
The teacher didn’t know how to answer, but Feng Lun’s answer made Gary IV’s eyes light up.
He even said before the end of get out of class, "If I become a king one day, you will be my teacher!"
At that time, Feng Lun was just a son of a minor nobleman. In the eyes of other princes, a person who could only show off his knowledge was not as valuable as a third-level warrior, so no one except Gary IV paid attention to Feng Lun, and Feng Lun and Gary
After the four became friends, Gary IV learned about Feng Lun's ambition: education for all.
Afterwards, Feng Lun met Meluner through Gary IV. Among the three, Feng Lun was good at writing and Meluner was good at martial arts. As the prince, Gary IV tried to lead the two people, coordinate the overall situation, and cultivate his own leadership skills. Whenever another person
When two people gave up, Feng Lun always used his way to comfort and encourage them. It can be said that without Feng Lun, there would be no Gary IV today.
The battle for imperial power is a bloody elimination game in which only one person or the group led by this person can survive, and the rest will die.
Feng Lun was a weak college teacher, so no one paid much attention to him. However, Mellener, who was diligent in practicing, was often injured because of Gary IV, and even almost lost his life. Even so, the two of them were right.
Feng Lun had no complaints, because Feng Lun could always use his rich knowledge and firm and stubborn character to turn the tables on the two of them at critical moments.
The development of Gary IV exceeded the expectations of all the princes and even Gary III. The subsequent imperial power struggle also slowly subsided due to Gary III's tendency. Finally, Gary IV successfully sat on the throne of the Gary Empire. At this time, Feng Lun
Put forward his own ideas.
Generally speaking, the main ones are as follows. The first is to marry a commoner woman of your choice, calm the people's hearts, and stop the nobles from using the royal marriage to do whatever they want. The love between Gary IV and the queen was known to the entire empire at that time, and even Gary III stopped it many times.
It didn't stop the lovers from reaching the end.
Second, promote education for all and select talents.
Third, reducing taxes will improve the people’s enthusiasm for labor.
Fourth, reduce the privileges of the nobility, implement a military merit system, and save costs for improving people's livelihood.
It was easy for Gary IV, but the three subsequent articles were opposed by the entire aristocratic system and temple officials as soon as they were proposed.
Feng Lun himself was a member of the nobility, and these items were completely inconsistent with his status. Even though he was already the leader of the family, he could not stop the strong opposition within the family system.
In this regard, Feng Lun just persisted and kept proposing that at that time, Gary IV's foundation had just stabilized, and it was really difficult to implement it. These items were inevitable for Gary IV, because they were the most beneficial to him.
The policy of domination, but the nobles would not think so.
Despicable poor people are not qualified to marry the royal family. Universal education is just a joke. Stupid poor children can only grow up in the wilderness and are not qualified to learn.
For the nobles, reducing taxes means reducing their source of funds for spending time and leisure, and the last one is to eliminate their sense of superiority as nobles. Now the nobles have long lost their special privileges and become part of the country.
Big cancer.
This is only from the nobility, and then there is the opposition from the temple. For the temple that relies on believers to obtain capital, the more stupid the people are, the better. This will help them rule the believers. Feng Lun’s four pieces of advice not only forced the nobles and the temple to
He reached a dead end, and even pushed himself into a dead end at one point.
After he made the remonstrance, intimidation and interviews became the norm. He and his family were even kidnapped many times. His waist suffered from hidden diseases during the kidnapping. Gary IV was abnormal after learning that Feng Lun was kidnapped.
Angry, his reaction exceeded the kidnapper's expectations. After rescuing Feng Lun, Gary IV ordered a strict investigation, which directly suppressed the two most influential nobles in the empire until they almost collapsed.
Everyone knew that Feng Lun's kidnapping was just an opportunity, but Gary IV seized the opportunity and began to show his tough political outlook. After the two nobles were suppressed, the empire's voice of opposition
It was much smaller. Although the officials of the temple insisted on opposing it, they seemed extremely powerless without the support of the nobles.
Gary IV began to try to implement it, and the result was beyond everyone's expectations. In the first year, many people who could be called geniuses appeared among the common people, whether it was martial arts, magic or literature and politics.
Although it was only an enlightenment education, the number of outstanding talents among the common people had far exceeded that of the aristocratic children. The weather was good that year, and although taxes were reduced by nearly half, the tax revenue was more than double that of the previous year.
It only took a year for the nobles to finally realize that if things continued like this, the common people would eventually replace the nobles. In order to prevent this from happening, the noble system also fought back and sent its own children to the academy for further studies.
Do your best to suppress the development of civilians.
In the second year, the advantages of the nobles' family background began to slowly show up, surpassing the common people. In this tug of war, the contradiction between the nobles and the common people intensified seriously.
In the early days, there were even bloody conflicts. The two classes found representatives who could represent themselves, Gary IV and the queen who was born as a commoner.
The conflict between the two classes gave Gary IV mixed feelings. Many rare talents appeared in the conflict, and the bloodshed made the political situation very unstable. At this time, Gary IV could only rely on Feng Lun. After all, everything was at stake.
It was him who caused it.
The answer given by Feng Lun was very concise. Since he wanted to compete, it would be enough to do it all at once.
So the Gali Empire Tournament, which was based on the competition between great powers, was created to ease the conflict between the two classes. The rules of the tournament were that people and equipment who had participated before could not participate again. In the early days, the aristocratic forces relied on their rich family heritage to win for many years.
.
But time is a double-edged sword. Those who have experienced the martial arts competition can no longer participate in the competition. The advantages of civilians have begun to show up. Over the years, the championship of the martial arts tournament has always been controlled by civilians.
The nobles also understood Feng Lun's intentions through failure. The country was composed of ordinary people who they usually looked down upon. Although they seemed humble, they had a power that could not be ignored. This power was enough to overthrow the entire aristocratic system.
The intensification of the contradiction between the two classes caused both the nobles and the common people to hope to find the most beneficial representatives of their own class, and Gary IV and his queen became the end point for the two classes to resolve the contradiction. In this way, a considerable part of the power was
Concentrated in the hands of the royal family, the officials of the temple hated Feng Lun very much and regarded him as a thorn in their side.
Feng Lun is a powerless dean, but his influence in the Gary Empire cannot be underestimated. Whether they are civilians or nobles, many of them are his students. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country is full of students. In addition,
Before going there, Gary IV went to war because Feng Lun was kidnapped, which was one of the reasons why temple officials did not dare to touch Feng Lun.
With the birth of the prince, both the nobles and the common people regarded the prince as the representative of their own class. In the few years when the prince was in power, the conflicts between the nobles and the common people had eased. This was also the legacy that Gary IV left for his only child.
A gift from Feng Lun, most of which were made by Feng Lun, so the prince naturally respected Feng Lun even more.
But the scene before him made the prince anxious.
No one expected that the Orc Empire’s mission would have a martial saint-level figure who was also a messenger of a god. Of course, no one expected that the Orc Empire would make such a request. The last thing they expected was that someone in the entire hall would actually do so.
He raised his voice against the pressure of the martial saint level.
Following Li En's joke, everyone in the astonishment realized that Li En did not seem to show any murderous intention, and it seemed that the beast god messenger liked him very much.
"Your Excellency Feng Lun, Your Majesty the Envoy has no disrespect for you at all. Your actions are greatly admired by the officials of our Orc Empire. Can we invite you to visit the Orc Empire?"
Peter's words were very sincere. Feng Lun looked at the pig-headed man in front of him who had been surprising the Gary Empire and seemed to find something in his words. However, he had no way to say it in the main hall, so he had to respond: "This matter needs to be discussed." At this time, Feng Lun
Only then did I realize that the pressure on my body had eased, and my tense emotions had calmed down.
