After Ronan finished speaking, not far away, a high execution platform was pushed up. Several Northland nobles wearing white cloth and disheveled hair were tied to it. It was the Mayweather faction headed by Yegor.
die loyal.
After Ronan failed to persuade him to surrender, he decided to let them show off. There was no use keeping them anyway and it would be a waste of food. The execution platform with a huge wooden wheel underneath was pushed to the front of Ronan's high platform, accompanied by the eyes and curses of the people all the way.
Sound, if there weren't any rotten eggs or something in my hand, I would probably have thrown them all away.
"Do you know your sins?"
Ronan walked to the edge of the high platform, lowered his head and looked at the weak Northland nobles on the execution platform, as if giving them a last chance.
But in fact, Ronan didn't give them a chance to speak at all. They wanted to take this opportunity to beg for mercy or scold Ronan, but unfortunately, their tongues had been cut off long ago, and they couldn't say anything.
Words come.
"Stubborn!"
After Ronan shouted in a low voice, he no longer spoke to them, but looked up to the sky. On the surface, he seemed to be regretting something, but in his heart, he was actually communicating with Matthias, asking him to trigger the pre-arranged seal on the execution platform.
"When the time comes, recall your sinful life in the flames. God's wrath is far beyond your imagination, and your souls will be burned up under the flames of God!"
Along with Ronan's voice, Matthias, who was mixed in the crowd below, silently activated the seals engraved on the execution platform, and the ground surrounding the nobles of the North who were kneeling on the execution platform with their hands tied behind them
Suddenly it lit up in a fiery red color. If you look closely, you can see that it is a circle formed by complex and mysterious runes.
After seeing this scene, they, who were already extremely weak, burst out their last bit of potential. This is the instinctive reaction of human beings when facing death, but the fierce struggle is useless, and they may not be able to break free in their heyday.
Rope not to mention they are so weak now.
The fiery red runes surrounding each of them became brighter and brighter, and finally changed suddenly, twisting and condensing together. As the runes changed, clusters of thick fire pillars more than five meters high suddenly rose.
Accompanied by the exclamations of the surrounding people, the pillar of fire burned for more than ten seconds before suddenly dissipating, leaving only the charred surface of the execution platform. Under the high temperature of the magic flame, they were left with only a pool of flying fire.
The dust was blown away by the wind and disappeared without a trace.
"Ouch!"
The surrounding crowd cheered again, and Ronan pretended to be competitive for a while before walking off the platform, riding his war horse and leaving the venue, heading back to the castle in the inner city.
After Ronan left, the troops who were supporting order also left. The masses and the various personnel mixed in the masses also left. Ronan's performance today was quite shocking to these people with ulterior motives.
It was so powerful, especially the pillar of fire that suddenly appeared in the last ten seconds and burned people to ashes. From that angle, they couldn't see the runes on the execution platform and couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts. Could it be that the gods are really back?
But no matter what, Ronan was relatively successful today. While gaining a lot of reputation and honor points, he also shocked a lot of people and won over a lot of people's hearts.
Ronan's speech today gave the crowd a summary of his vision for the future and the policies that would be changed, such as opening schools and improving sanitation. Of course, most of the crowd could not understand it.
, the only thing they care about is the reduction and elimination of some taxes mentioned by Ronan, and helping farmers to farm.
"I plan to stay in the Northland for a while, use this place as a pilot, make some changes first, and test my ideas. Now the people here trust me very much and are obedient, so I should be able to implement the new policy more efficiently.
policy!"
In the conference room, Ronan was having a meeting with the heroes, and Bornhard, who was far away in Starfall City, also participated in the meeting through the system.
"I exchanged a batch of seeds from the system. If they can be sown successfully, not only will the variety of grains be enriched, but the grain yield will also be greatly improved.
Magna, you will take people to choose a good place nearby tomorrow. We will first find a place to try planting, select the crops suitable for cultivation here from the seeds I gave you, and then plant a large number of them. First, cultivate the seeds, and then
It is provided to farmers for free, and they are promised that the country will charge part of the grain into the national treasury, and the price will be increased by 5% compared to the market price!"
Many of these crops are crops from Ronan's previous world that are not available in this world, such as corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes and the like. After Ronan finished speaking, he took out several bags of seeds from his backpack and gave them to Mag.
Na.
"I have chosen a place and will start building the first civilian school in Northland tomorrow. Aldridge, I will leave it to you to supervise the construction. I have found the best craftsmen and a large number of laborers. Within a month,
Aim for completion!
Azir, ask your men and people from the Redemption Church to help publicize these two things, and start looking for the first batch of students now. I plan to divide them into three levels, seven to twelve years old, and twelve to ten years old.
Eight years old, and no limit to eighteen years old and above.
There are cultural classes and professional classes for ages seven to twelve and ages twelve to eighteen. Currently, I plan to provide them with crafts such as blacksmithing, carpentry, masonry, and tailoring, as well as swordsmanship, military management, and other knowledge they need to learn for marching and fighting.
They choose by themselves, and we pay free tuition until they become formal apprentices, but they have to prepare their own meals.
Magna, the task of finding qualified teachers has been left to you for the time being. They must be found before the school is built, especially in terms of military management. If everything goes well, I also plan to open a special military school to train some outstanding teachers.
junior officers!"
Ronan assigned work to his subordinates one by one. During this period, under the operation of Bornhard in Starfall City and several large cities in the heart of the empire, the schools were basically on track. In order to reduce consumption, although
Students do not have to pay tuition, but they must do some labor within a specified time, and of course they will be given some money.
And although there is no exam required for admission, there is a one-year trial semester. The school does not need students who are unmotivated or stupid. If they cannot keep up with the cultural classes in the first year, the only way is to drop out of school, and a family
Only a maximum of two children are allowed to go to school to avoid the shortage of agricultural labor force caused by all parents sending their children to study. In the end, judging from the actual situation during this period, the number of students who can stay in the school is generally less than five.
One out of ten, most of them dropped out of school.
