Sheila reported to Xie Song what she heard at the aristocratic meeting, and then went home to find her father. After talking to her father, she ran to her mother. Looking at the anger that could not be curbed on Sheila's face, her mother took out a few pumpkin pies and made a glass of iced black tea for Sheila.

While eating, Sheila felt a little better. When she accidentally choked a little by the iced black tea, Sheila finally broke out, "This is a group of useless men! Here, there, there, here, here, here, here, there, all useless men!"

The mother wanted to comfort Sheila a few words, but she couldn't say them. The mother simply laughed loudly. Seeing that she was laughing happily, Sheila felt that she had been insulted and coughed twice to dispel the feeling of discomfort in the trachea. Sheila wanted to complain, but she also laughed with her mother. Sheila cried while laughing.

After crying for a while, Sheila saw a hot towel handed to her eyes. She picked up the towel and wiped her face. She felt much more comfortable. She grabbed her mother's arm, Sheila rubbed against her mother's side and moaned.

"Shila, come up." My father's voice came from the second floor.

Sheila stood up and followed her father to the study on the second floor. The two sat down and heard her father say, "Sila, did you think about what you said carefully?"

"Yes." Sheila had recovered her spirit, and she answered decisively: "The problem is not what system is used, but the problem is that those people are useless. Europa Province has been to the Eastern Mediterranean for a total of twenty years. If Greece was a rich area that could export a large amount of food, people would not have seen it for more than a thousand years? Now Greece can provide so much food and so much chicken, which shows that the Song State has the ability to transform Greece, and the Roman powers do not have this ability."

The Europa Province provided not only a large amount of pumpkins and potatoes to Eastern Rome, but after the cold weather, thousands of tons of chicken came in one go. The chickens were marinated. The Eastern Roman court bought them at twice the price of grain at the beginning of the year and distributed them to the residents of Constantinople and surrounding cities for free. After eating chicken for a few days, the people's mood improved. However, Sheila's view on this matter was not the benevolent government of the Eastern Roman court, but the huge gap between Eastern Rome and European provinces.

She has been thinking about the problem mentioned by His Excellency Tiberius these days. Perhaps His Excellency Tiberius rarely comes into contact with the Song people and is particularly moved by the loyalty and belonging of the Song people to the country. Sheila and the Song people were together all day long, and she felt very different.

"Daughter, I think you are not that supportive of Your Excellency Tiberio. Why is that?" the father asked.

Sheila had already complained about His Excellency Tiberio dozens of times in her heart. She was so true that she could not say anything. Until she pounded her chest, she said what she said in her heart, "I... feel... he did not see the power of the Song people. The Song people's patriotism was because the country could provide help to the Song people."

Finally, she said it out, and Sheila suddenly felt relaxed. Since she had already expressed the first criticism of His Excellency Tiberio, who was admiring the mountains, her words came out smoothly, "Father, when the Song people encounter problems, they can ask for help from the Song Dynasty, and the Song people can also provide help. Just like agricultural technology, the Song people in the Europa Province rely on the technology provided by the Song State. The Song State was afraid that they would not understand, so they specially sent technicians from thousands of miles away. The technicians I met at the office of the Europa Province

The staff were sent from the Song Dynasty. I also asked them why they were willing to go so far. They said that because of the high salary, they improved quickly. Father, can you imagine that the technicians in the Song Dynasty were all ordinary farmers and ordinary farmers! As long as they were willing to study, the Song State would give them the opportunity to go to school. I heard that they had no tuition and living expenses to go to school and they could apply to the school. The school gave them money. These students could pay them off within five years after graduation, without interest..."

The more Xila spoke, the more excited she became. The distant Song Dynasty did not look like a country, but a fairy tale. A fairy tale in which everyone could get a happy ending. Xila had long been full of doubts about these, but she had to believe them. Just look at the globe and you can understand that these Song people arrived at the Europa Province after tens of thousands of miles away.

Sheila finished speaking excitedly, feeling that she had no strength all over her body. She even thought it was ridiculous. Why did she suddenly say so much? Especially she was criticizing the fallacy of His Excellency Tiberio. What kind of country is the Song Dynasty? In "Travels of the East", it was a wealthy and beautiful country, and the system of this country was even more magical than that of the wealthy and beautiful. It is said that the emperor of the Song Dynasty, which is the most powerful and powerful person on the earth, once said, "We stand on the side of the workers, and the rights and interests of the workers must be protected." Such words seemed to be smoothly spoken from the Song people, but in Eastern Rome, this was simply a strange theory.

Workers are penniless. They can only exchange their own strength for meager income and will not starve to death, or even starve to death if they try their best. But in the Song Dynasty, such people can live a stable and even wealthy life. It is precisely because the Song Dynasty gave these people the opportunity that these people love the Song Dynasty so much. When they say "we", they represent the country, the people, and the Chinese nation. This is something that Sheila felt and His Excellency Tiberius obviously did not understand.

Just when Sheila felt her heart beating, she heard her father ask: "My daughter, I know you are very familiar with the Song people, so she knows more about them than Master Tiberius. But I want to ask you a question: The Song people can rely on the Song Kingdom when they encounter problems, but who should they rely on when they encounter problems?"

Sheila was stunned. She did not think about this problem. The Song State is so powerful and wealthy, and there should be no problem that Song State cannot solve. But what her father said was a problem that even Song State could not solve. What difficulties should such a problem be? Is there still a problem that Song State cannot solve?

At this time, husband and wife, you talk again, "Heila, you have read "Travels of the East", and I have also read it. The book says that the Mongols almost destroyed the Song State, and even the court of the Song State surrendered. But His Majesty Zhao Jiaren of the Song State royal family led the Song State to defeat the Mongols and saved the Song Dynasty. My daughter, the country is not omnipotent. If this is true, the Roman Kingdom will not be replaced by the Roman Republic, and the Roman Republic will not be replaced by the Roman Empire. The one who can solve the problem must be human beings, and this will not be wrong. If the country can solve all problems, there will not be so many changes. As long as the eagle flag of the Roman Empire is raised, all problems should be easily solved."

Sheila was silent. What she feared most was that her father spoke to her like this, because even if the truth she said was not irrefutable, at least Sheila herself could not deny it. If Song was invincible, it was because an emperor like Zhao Jiaren led the people of Song to defeat Mongolia. But Sheila still felt something was wrong, because she really couldn't see how His Excellency Tiberi could create such a hero. After all, even Sheila could not fully agree with what His Excellency Tiberi said.

Then Sheila heard his father say, "Daughter, thank you for your efforts. I know you must be very wronged, at least I don't think I can help you too much. But Rome can definitely be revived. This revival started from the time when Basels began to rebuild the legion. You have worked hard enough. Have a good rest, and at this time, it is time for the Roman people to make a choice."

The father's voice contained a passion that Sheila had never heard before. In the past, his father was calm but seemed a little melancholy. At this time, the father's voice was full of enthusiasm, as if something ignited the flame in his father's chest.

While thinking, she heard the bells ringing in the street quickly. It was a clear alarm bell that only happened when an emergency occurred. Sheila didn't want to hide. She rushed out of her father's study, and on the way she felt that she was too bold. She rushed into the bedroom and took out a dagger from the closet and put it in her arms.

The street was already riots, and teams of legions rushed out from all sides and ordered the residents to return to their homes. The residents were rushed back home by the legion soldiers in fear. Several soldiers came to Sheila. The leader looked at each other with the other soldiers and said, "Is it Miss Sheila?"

Sheila didn't know these soldiers at all. She asked with some alertness: "Have we seen it?"

"We were guards when we were promoting pumpkin and potatoes for Miss Sheila." The leader replied.

Sheila really couldn't remember who was the guard at that time. At the promotion meetings that more and more people participated, Sheila was so tired that she just wanted to fall down and sleep. She herself couldn't remember how many promotion meetings she had participated. However, Sheila squeezed out a smile, "Thank you for your help."

Hearing this, the soldiers of the Legion showed a shy expression on their faces. The soldier in charge said, "Miss Sheila, please go back quickly."

"Can you tell me what happened? Could it be that the enemy attacked Constantinople?" Sheila asked stubbornly.

"This...is not the enemy. It is some country mobs gathered to come to Constantinople. There are many people."

"Mob?" Sheila couldn't believe it. She had been to the eastern countryside and saw that the peasants she saw were very different from Sheila's aesthetic view, but they were not mobs. The peasants were still timid when they met the nobles, so Sheila continued to ask: "If it were a mob who wanted to attack Constantinople, shouldn't the legion go to fight early?"

Seeing that she could not hide it from Sheila, the soldier leader whispered: "This... is a farmer. I heard that the farmers came to Basels with banners."

"Farmer?" Sheila still felt unbelievable. The farmers she saw were not so bold. Those farmers did not even have the courage to leave the territory. The boundaries of the territory seemed to be a chasm for them. Many people were born in farms, grew up in farms, and died in farms.

"Miss Sheila, go back quickly. We will block the streets by name, and only so much do we know." The soldier advised again.

Just when Sheila had to return to his home, the Eastern Roman Emperor in the Eastern Roman Palace had already received news. The noble Basels was startled by the news. He quickly asked why the general in charge of Constantinople's security tolerate the mob to march towards Constantinople. The general bowed his head and replied, "The noble Basels, they are not mobs. The news we received was that these people were only carrying salutes and food, and did not carry weapons. They just came to petition Basels."

"Petition?" The Eastern Roman emperor was skeptical.

At this moment, the school officials strode into the palace and knelt down on one knee to report to the Eastern Roman Emperor, "Report to Basels, the peasants arrived at the gates of Constantinople, and the leaders sent letters."

The Eastern Roman Emperor wrote a letter, and saw that it was written in vulgar Greek. The Eastern Roman Emperor, who was proficient in theology and Greek, read it quickly. The content emphasized by so many words was very simple, which was to ask Basels to prohibit the army and the family from robbing food from agricultural operators, and also requested that Sellers restore the price of grain to the price before importing the Yuan Dynasty. The farmers said that the low price of grain made them unable to sell grain, and they had no money to buy daily necessities. Finally, the price of grain rebounded, but it was plundered. If Basels insisted on such a policy, then please send troops to kill all the unarmed petitioners outside the city. At least death could prevent the farmers from suffering.

The Eastern Roman Emperor asked the school official, "Are you really a mob outside the city?"

The school official quickly replied: "We have not seen them carry weapons in honor of Basels. If Basels doesn't believe it, you can go up to the city to see it yourself."

The Eastern Roman Emperor did not believe the school officials very much, and could not help but look at the eunuch next to him. The eunuch quickly walked out, and the palace was temporarily silent until the Eastern Roman Emperor asked, "How many people are there outside the city."

"About 5,000 people." The school official replied.

The Eastern Roman Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Roman legion in the city had as many as 50,000 people, which was more than enough to deal with the 5,000 mobs. Not long after, the eunuch rushed back to the palace. After returning, he gathered in the Eastern Roman Emperor's ear and whispered what he saw, "Baseles, the peasants outside really didn't carry weapons. However, many priests were with them, so please ask Basels to go and have a look."

Hearing that there were priests among the petitioners, the Eastern Roman Emperor said to the Patriarch: "Go to the city and see what's going on outside."

The Patriarch hurried away, but after a long time, he didn't hear the news about the Patriarch. Someone came back to report that the Patriarch had already walked into the petitioners and talked to the priests. After a while, the Patriarch finally came back. He told his sight with a frown. The priests were willing to petition with the farmers, begging Basels to relax the food prices and at least ensure that the farmers were no longer robbed.
