Chapter 263 The Coincidence Is Too Much Conspiracy, The Faceless Man
"Untouchables only need to learn crafts and should not learn other knowledge."
"Yes, Zhang, you teach too much. It will take a long time for civilians to graduate, which affects our business."
Stannis raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stop talking: "We are here to see the school's education, not for accountability. Zhang, please tell us about the school's teaching content first!"
Zhang Jin nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, after the opening of Anyuan School, the first batch of students was enrolled in a total of 1,500 students. 500 students started learning knowledge from an early age. These people are the key teaching targets. They have to learn arithmetic, mathematics, industrial alchemy, etc... to learn these knowledge
In the future, it will enrich the empire’s talent pool and double the talent gap in Westeros.”
"The remaining more than a thousand people are all older. They mainly study arithmetic, architecture, metallurgy, carpentry, and masonry. Oh, by the way, they also teach pastry making. We want to spread our country's delicacies.
Come down."
Stannis nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work! Everyone, do you have any questions?"
Many nobles once again actively spoke out: "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. Knowledge must be in our hands. The common people only need to cultivate good land and provide us with food and taxes."
"Yes, the school teaches too much. There are many commoners who are sneaky and sneaky. Once they learn this knowledge, countless troubles will arise. It is not easy for us to manage untouchables who know knowledge!"
Many nobles, you said something and I said something.
They all want to make money, but they don't want the knowledge to make money to spread.
This is completely opposite to what we did half a year ago!
When the Tang Dynasty people in the East wanted the nobles to summon their servants to learn knowledge, the nobles cheered and signed up enthusiastically.
Because it is beneficial!
Improving the earning power of domestic servants will also enrich their personal pockets, which is why the nobles suppressed the strong opposition of the bachelors.
But when the school was established and professors taught knowledge to more people regardless of their status, countless waves immediately occurred.
The nobles are extravagant and lazy, but that doesn't mean they are not smart.
Because they know that knowledge cannot be promoted. Once it is popularized, it will squeeze the living space of the nobles.
And if the quality of civilians is high, it will also shrink their pockets when hiring civilians!
Moreover, the bachelors have repeatedly explained to the lords earnestly: If the common people are allowed to understand knowledge, the aristocratic rule will definitely be endangered in the future.
When the knowledge learned by the nobles can be replaced by common people, then what do the nobles do?
Seeing that His Majesty Stanny did not retort, the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms spoke one after another. Everyone said that the school was bad.
Looking at this situation, they are determined to close the school.
The king's silent attitude made the nobles feel that they were having fun, and they continued to express their opinions.
Even Ed said a few words that the knowledge taught in the school was too shocking.
Seeing that Stannis was silent, Zhang Jin shrugged his shoulders: "Everyone, the knowledge taught in the school is very basic. It is a good thing to have more talents. As long as people use the knowledge we teach to make money, the taxes and pockets of each territory will definitely increase.
Why not drum up more quickly?"
Stannis turned his head again and looked at the nobles who came to visit the school: "You seem to be worried that your knowledge will be learned by the common people?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! Knowledge can only be in the hands of nobles. Common people have low quality, low blood, and are extremely greedy. They cannot master knowledge!"
Stannis said with a half-smile: "The people of the Eastern Tu Tang Dynasty have talked about the benefits of establishing schools many times, but you have used dangerous methods to prevent the establishment of schools. I know what you are thinking."
Many nobles lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Stannis!
They were all worried that His Majesty the King would reject their opinions.
Because building schools and educating students in batches is a document signed by His Majesty Stannis himself.
The school was successfully built, even with the help of nobles and bachelors.
Because at first everyone thought that the school was just for teaching workers basic knowledge. But after investigation, they found that the school taught more knowledge than they imagined.
This time the king finally came out to inspect the school, and the nobles directly attacked him!
Stannis looked to Zhang **** to learn more knowledge from the people, and it would indeed become a source of trouble. I regard Stannis as the king of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, and the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.
King Lathien I orders you: From today on, schools will no longer teach other arithmetic, reading and literacy, and will only teach workers production and production. Knowledge such as reading and literacy must be authorized by the lords before it can be taught!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jin felt a little angry~
Something went wrong in their last step!
Why do they go to so much trouble to integrate into Westeros?
The purpose is to cultivate a new class!
If a school is built to only teach students to learn crafts and cannot disseminate knowledge in a systematic way, then what is the use of this school?
"Your Majesty, there is an old saying from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, which is that more people are more powerful! If everyone wants to make more money, they need to work together to make the market bigger. There is no need to be so nervous... By the way...
…us~”
Stannis looked at Zhang Jin coldly: "Are you resisting the decree?"
Zhang Jin was furious before he finished speaking.
He really wanted to hack this guy to death at this moment.
But at this moment, his face showed an extremely sincere and frightened look: "Your Majesty, we will never dare to resist the decree!"
Chen Mu, who had been staying beside Zhang Jin, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Because the [Danger Reminder Card] just now suddenly reminded him that he was in danger!
But this time he just came to visit the school. He was surrounded by familiar faces from the nobility, right?
Where does the danger come from?
Stannis showed a smile on his face and said: "Very good, from now on, all the knowledge taught in the school needs to be reviewed by the nobles, and all those who learn knowledge must swear allegiance to me and the lords of the Seven Kingdoms. Only those who become what we recognize
Only those who follow you can learn higher-level knowledge."
After finishing speaking, Stannis added a few more words: "By the way, this school must build a theological church. You must bring the beliefs of the Seven Gods and the Old Gods into the school."
"Your Majesty, we are not well versed in theology."
Stannis's eyes flashed with mischief: "Let priests and priests come to the school to be teachers! I want them to cultivate excellent believers."
Zhang Jin reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"Do you have any opinions?"
Many nobles looked at each other, and then Duke Merry of the Reach came out: "Your Majesty, we hope to send someone to supervise the teaching work of the school at all times. And establish laws. Anyone who teaches knowledge innocently will be beheaded."
"Agreed! What do you want to say?"
A narrow smile appeared on Zhang Jin's face: "Your Majesty, you are the king of Westeros. We are just teachers!"
"Anything else you would like to add?"
The nobles basically stopped talking!
After the school is established, it must be strictly controlled by them, and the selection of talents must go through them. This ensures that they will gather countless retinues and servants.
Without teaching more knowledge to the common people, the social customs of Westeros will remain in a closed loop.
Although the results of this treatment did not completely satisfy the nobles, they already met their psychological expectations.
Seeing that many nobles stopped raising their opinions, Stannis said: "Zhang, work hard in King's Landing and educate more workers."
Zhang Jin smiled and nodded.
Stannis walked around with a group of nobles and left directly.
I won’t go into detail about the meat-and-wine parties held by the nobles.
…
Distant Essos!
Lin Ruyi and her team members were at an agreed-upon trading location, quietly waiting for the slave owner to escort the slave.
Behind them, by the river, there were a group of fifty workers doing odd jobs and an army of 200 people.
These people are the forces they have developed over the past few months.
These people are all hard-working people. They mainly stay here to boil water for the slaves to bathe and clean.
Because Lin Ruyi wanted a whole family, the slave owners often grabbed a lot of them. But these Essos slave owners didn't care about the lives of their slaves.
This resulted in large numbers of slaves dying every time slaves were delivered.
After several transactions, Lin Ruyi is already familiar with it.
Thinking about what she had experienced with her teammates in the past few months, Lin Ruyi felt quite complicated.
The initial mission of Lin Ruyi's team staying in Essos is to spend three years collecting all the forces and customs in Essos, collecting rulers and civilians of all classes, and investigating the religion of the Essos continent.
All the information about the king, the horse god, the thousand-faced god, and the goat god.
Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the savage training progress was very slow.
In order to speed up the process, Chen Aiguo immediately decided to transform the slaves!
A good soldier of hearts, his external identity suddenly turned into a slave trader.
Teng Teng Teng~
Suddenly there was a dull sound in the distance.
After a while, the scout sent a message: "Captain, they are the cavalry from Suomudu. They are here to trade."
Suomudu is a Dothraki Khal, and the size of the tribe can only be said to be medium!
This guy is very close to the slave owners in Slaver Bay. He is also very honest, so he often helps the slave owners escort their slaves and earns some hard money.
Of course, Suomudu more often captures slaves and trains them into slaves for slave owners in Slaver Bay to sell them together!
I won’t go into detail about their nastiness!
Lin Ruyi nodded: "Well, let's keep people alert and prepare to trade!"
"Okay~"
Accompanied by the thunderous sound of horse hooves, Suomudu led thousands of cavalry to take the lead and approached the place where Lin Ruyi and others were staying.
"There are 1,500 slaves this time. There are very few elderly people. They are all young adults. There are more than 200 people who are literate. I want 10,000 gold dragons."
Lin Ruyi smiled and nodded, then asked someone to prepare gold coins.
Handing over the money with one hand and handing over the person with the other, the transaction went very smoothly.
The Dothraki cavalry left.
Lin Ruyi directed their subordinates to separate men and women and go wash up.
The slaves were well educated by their masters, so they cooperated quite well.
Until a woman didn't want to take a shower.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? What are you afraid of in the tent? Take off your clothes quickly!" the employed aunt shouted at a woman.
"Sorry, I won't wash with them."
"Haha~ Then stretch your face over and let me pinch it and take a look!"
"No, you can't be so rude."
"I said... stick your face over here." The aunt shouted.
The woman who didn't want to take a shower hesitated for a moment before sticking her face out.
The woman thought she was going to get a slap!
Who knew that this aunt didn't follow common sense?
She smiled and put her hand on the woman's face.
"Little girl, only by taking a bath can you maintain hygiene and..." The aunt suddenly got angry. Her fingers that had been relaxed suddenly grabbed the woman's face and pulled her!
Tear~
This girl's face was immediately torn off by her aunt.
A slightly petite woman's face appeared in front of the aunt.
"Oh my God, it's the Faceless One. I'm rich!"
…
The scene returns to King's Landing in Westeros again.
When night came, Chen Mu, Zhang Jin and others arrived at their secret meeting room.
As soon as he arrived at the conference room, Zhang Jin muttered: "Old Ju, there's a big problem with the plan. Stannis doesn't play by the rules!"
Chen Mu found a seat and sat down, and said seriously: "I also made an important discovery. The danger reminder card I carried during the day sent a warning that there is danger near the school."
Ju Chengyan rubbed his brows: "We all got together to do this weird thing today! Please tell us in detail."
Zhang Jin talked about what happened today, and Chen Mu also talked about what happened to the danger reminder card.
"This is really weird happening one after another!" Ju Chengyan frowned.
Chen Mu asked curiously: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"More than 300 followers of the King of Light were discovered at the northern base camp, and it was discovered that they may be cooperating with the Sons of the Forest. Lao Chen has been cleaning up the surrounding safety hazards in the past few days, and this morning he found two Sons of the Forest hiding nearby."
After saying this, Ju Chengyan added: "Among the slaves purchased from Essos, traces of some fanatic believers of the King of Light were also found. The high school team was worried that they might have established some kind of connection with the King of Light, so they have
It was dealt with secretly!”
"only this?"
Ju Chengyan shook his head: "The White Walkers and ghouls who have disappeared beyond the Great Wall for several months have also shown signs of movement, but there are not many. In addition to this, Lin Ruyi's team on a mission in Essos was attacked."
"Lin Ruyi was attacked?"
"Well, this is the message just sent by Liu Ruyi (not the same person) who is staying in the north. This is a combat briefing, you can read it!"
Chen Mu took the document and read the content carefully.
The document describes what happened to Lin Ruyi and the others today!
When they purchased slaves, they routinely cleaned and screened them, and then emerged three Faceless Assassins and two Lord of Light priests disguised as slaves.
Both the assassins and the followers were brutally killed.
"Are the Faceless Men out? Are they trying to infiltrate the slaves to spy on intelligence?"
Ju Chengyan shook his head: "Maybe they are not just spying on intelligence, they may also want to carry out assassinations! Children of the forest who believe in the old gods, priests who believe in the Lord of Light, and faceless men who believe in the Thousand-faced God appear in our station one after another. I always feel that
It’s such a coincidence that these guys showed up.”
"Have all the subordinates of these three gods formed an alliance?" Zhang Jin asked with a frown.
Ju Chengyan shook his head: "There are not enough clues, so we are not sure whether to cooperate yet!"
Chen Mu stretched himself: "If it doesn't work, kill all the fanatic followers of these guys. Let's just play bulldozer mode!"
