Transmigration of the bastard lord

Education is the most uneconomical investment and the most difficult to recover. Except for the ruler itself, it is almost impossible for other forces to bear such a burden; Promoting education within the empire is no less difficult than rebuilding an empire—the ruling power of this world is a feudal system, and the vast land of the empire is divided into countless nobles, large and small; the actual rule of the Sodia royal family is actually Around the royal city of Tagalan, the area covered within three days of the knights' expedition directly under it; and places farther away, such as the principalities of the grand dukes, and territories such as Hydesai, can only be regarded as radiation ruled areas.

Layers of enfeoffment of power has led to bloated state institutions, low ability to respond to incidents, and slow implementation of government orders. It cannot be compared with a government agency like Hydesy that has withdrawn all enfeoffment powers and engaged in dictatorship and tyranny.To make a simple analogy, if Xavier wants to set up a school in the Oddington territory, he wants to requisition the land of a certain nobleman to build a school building-well, these territories are entrusted to the nobles by the royal family, and the royal family has the right to take them back; A school that benefits the common people, but touches the cakes of the nobles?Believe it or not, I will rebel for you every minute?

Even if the school is really overcome all difficulties, and His Royal Highness is used as underwear to support education for all; then when these talents who have learned knowledge go out of the school, except for a very small number of them who can become spellcasters for the use of the royal family, then the others will not cast spells. What about talent?How to arrange?Engage in state enterprises to arrange these people to become workers?Hehe, don't forget, the manufacturing industry has always been a cake that only belongs to the big aristocrats and big forces.Rather than setting up a national enterprise and letting these students work for the empire, it is more likely that these hard-earned talents will be cut off by others...

Alpha's IQ is not low. After thinking for a while about the possibility of the empire's development of education model based on Hydesy, the whole person became sluggish.No matter how optimistic the court magician of Prince Xavier must be, he must admit that what Hydesy can do, the empire cannot do; what the Frandy brothers have the courage to do, Prince Xavier cannot do.

Hogg was still telling them about Hydesy's education model with a smile on his face. Andre, who never thought too much, listened with gusto, but Alpha couldn't listen anymore.Confessing to the two old friends, Alpha walked out of the banquet hall to breathe with depression in his heart; standing in the atrium of the hotel, facing the neatly manicured landscape garden, the barrier of flames let out a long sigh.

"It's only been a few years since Sig Frandi came to Hyderside? He managed the place like this..." Alpha's face was gloomy, and he thought over and over again, "Could it be that this Earl is better than His Royal Highness?" Is it? No, no, how is it possible..."

Turning around and looking at the bustling hall behind him, Alpha's face became even more ugly; Hydesy was too attentive to the spellcasters, almost to the point of buying people's hearts; It is indeed attractive to the spellcasters; these spellcasters who come by appointment, except for a few who serve the big forces and come to explore the direction of the wind, most of them are magicians who hate restraint and travel around; After coming down, just what Alpha saw with his own eyes, several people have already expressed interest in Hydesy and plan to stay for a while...

Alpha can't say anything about this kind of Chiguoguo's solicitation, because Haidesai's official performance is very frank, and all the benefits, benefits, and development prospects are subtly shown to these spellcasters bit by bit.For example, the well-known escape alchemist in the Andrew Research Institute, as long as someone asks, the person in charge of the reception will list his status and dividends one by one; The current fortune of the fancy alchemist is quite enviable. He owns many subsidiaries under his name, and his achievement in half a year is better than that of a third-order late-stage spellcaster struggling for a year in the Tower of Immortality...

The laughter and music coming from the double doors made the Fire Barrier feel more and more suffocated, so he simply walked out of the atrium, walked through the corridor, and left the hotel through the back door.

The street is still very lively, full of shops, peddlers, and pedestrians of all kinds; the street scene is not luxurious and prosperous, but it is full of vigor and vigor.

Alpha has walked through the streets several times, and he also understands how energetic Anpu is now; at first, he was very puzzled, why did these people seem so happy after all the nobles representing the city were killed by the Frandi brothers?Haven't they been managed by those nobles for tens or hundreds of years, don't they miss those famous gentlemen?

During the few days of staying at the Yingbinlou Hotel, Alpha inquired about the nobles who were purged; he once cooperated with Ms. Amy, Seeger's concubine, trying to overthrow this unstable factor in the name of cultists ;In his understanding, the current ruling class of Hydesy is an evil and terrifying tyrant, and the bloody butcher knife makes the people under his rule tremble... But the more he understands, the more uncomfortable he feels, Hydesy Some people are indeed afraid of that Sig Frandi, but the reason is not that he killed too many nobles, but because of his iron fist as the inspector general; and Guang Frandi, who really participated in the slaughter of nobles, In the minds of the people of Hyderside, it is almost equal to the heavenly father...  

Alpha himself was born in a commoner family. Fortunately, he had a very great talent for magic since he was a child, and he was valued by a certain nobleman, who tried his best to train him to be a magician.Alpha, who has served the nobleman for decades to repay his kindness, believes that the people should obey the rule of the nobleman and be grateful for the protection of the nobleman; but Hydesy broke his worldview - the cleansing of the local nobleman does not affect the lives of ordinary people, The castle, which directly extends its tentacles of power into the low-level civilians for direct management, has canceled the power of enfeoffment at all levels, and it has done a better job than the nobles.

Alpha walking on the street felt the hustle and bustle of the market, and couldn't help feeling panic and confusion deep in his heart; could the actions of the Frandi brothers be correct?People really don't need to be managed by nobles?So what is his life?Are his experiences and perceptions all wrong?

In a daze, Alpha gradually left the bustling street and walked into the relatively quiet People's Square.This semi-circular giant square is located diagonally opposite the city hall. Just turn your head and look east, you can see the city hall building.Sitting on the bench provided for pedestrians to rest, Alpha faced the city hall to the east, feeling very complicated.

"In any case, what you see here must be reported to His Royal Highness in detail... Even if you can't learn from the education method, at least send someone to find out the truth about the cultivation of Hydesai. If you can make the empire's crops reach [-] per mu Above, then at least His Highness no longer needs to be under the control of Hermurphy..."

Alpha, who had a gloomy face and was thinking about how to seek benefits from this visit to Hydesy, was suddenly attracted by the sound of arguing.

Turning his head slightly, the barrier of flames saw several women arguing.These three women wore common linen dresses and scarves, and sat in a triangle shape on the edge of the flower bed, busy with crocheting and discussing something intensely.

"Of course it will be severely punished. My daughter has read the Basic Law to me. Anyone who intentionally fabricates and spreads fictitious facts to belittle others' personalities and damage their reputations is a crime of defamation." Woman, "According to the Basic Law, at least three years of hard labor in the mining area; judging from Madam Mary's current situation, I think three years is not too light."

"That means that the rumors spread out are fabricated? Who can say for sure? There is no wind, no waves, and flies don't bite any eggs without cracks. If that woman keeps herself clean, who will spread bad things about her." Another A younger woman retorted very quickly, rolling her eyes several times while speaking, as if she was very disdainful of that "Mrs. Mary".

"How can you say that? Who saw Mrs. Mary hooking up with a married man?" The woman with a stern face shouted.

"If she didn't do that, then why people don't spread other people's rumors, but hers?" The young woman refused to give in, "Look at her virtue, a woman with two children, it's not good Staying at home and flaunting everywhere every day, isn't it strange that there is no gossip?"

"She doesn't work, do you want to raise her child?"

"Isn't there an orphanage? Send the child there, she will marry someone quickly, who cares if she hooks up around?"

"That's someone's own child. Are you willing to send your child to an orphanage?"

The chirping voices of the women made Alpha feel ashamed, and he wanted to change his position when he stood up; there is no custom in this world for women not to leave the house, but women who show their faces too much will also be disliked; this is also something that Alpha I don't like the reason for the Frandi brothers-there are so many women in the political affairs office, are they ruling or playing house?

"Okay, okay, why are you arguing about this? We are discussing how to protect Mrs. Mary's rights, right? The city superintendent is investigating this matter, Daqi, you can't say those words anymore, and you will be arrested as a libel What should I do?" When Alpha got up, the woman who had been silent all this time spoke up, "Aren't those guys who spread rumors about Mr. Kevin a while ago punished by the Earl?"

Kevin is an important member of the city hall. Alpha paused when he heard the name, and then sat back slowly.

"How does that woman compare to Mr. Kevin? Besides, is that a rumor? Kevin is indeed married to a man from the Snow Wolf tribe!" The young woman's mean voice came over.

"Don't say a few words, Daqi, if you don't like it, you can send a letter of complaint to the city hall." The stern woman said loudly.

Alpha wanted to laugh, what kind of rules are there?Can such an ignorant woman send a letter of complaint to the city hall?

"Well, anyway, I have to testify for Mrs. Mary. My cousin is in the same working group as Mrs. Mary. She has never seen Mrs. Mary hook up with any man." The last woman who spoke said helplessly.

"Come on, if the woman doesn't wink, can Baron Herbert Marx take a fancy to her?" The young woman mocked again.

Alpha, who was eavesdropping, shook his head secretly. The baron's woman was actually bullied. Without the rule of the nobles, Hydesy is really unbearable.

The stern woman ignored the young mean woman, and said to the woman who spoke last: "Will you go to the court?"

"Of course, I'm here today waiting for the trial. Mr. Municipal Police said that if more than ten people testify for Mrs. Mary, they can officially take over the matter and seek justice for Mrs. Mary."

"Well, I'll go too."

These women quickly stopped this topic and talked about other trivial matters of life.Alpha didn't hear what he wanted to hear, and felt that it was meaningless to leave; but after thinking about it, he was a little interested in what these women said about the opening of the court and testifying, so he simply waited patiently.

Not long after, some people came in front of the city hall one after another, and two city policemen came on bicycles; the three women who were chatting and doing needlework quickly got up and approached the group of people , even the young woman who was very mean and dismissive in her words was not left behind.

There are about [-] people in this group, all of them are women of different ages. The two city policemen surrounded by them seemed a little hurried, and nervously introduced the case acceptance procedures to them; What Alpha heard was nothing more than "making a claim, presenting evidence, court approval, and transferring the incident to the city police superintendent for investigation" and so on.

These words Alpha are not too unfamiliar, but they still feel unbelievable - from the conversations of this group of people, he can see that the person being slandered is a lady in her 20s, dressed in Hyderside's most common women's blue cloth overalls, She has a gentle temperament, but her appearance really has nothing to do with her status as "the baron's woman".

Mrs. Mary, who took her two children to work in the Nancy textile factory, was indeed under 30 years old. When she first came, she looked sad, sallow and thin, and her long-term malnutrition caused her to become thinner than wood. Now she is much plumper and her skin It also restored the luster that a young man should have, but in terms of appearance, she is really not very beautiful.

The group listened to the court procedure introduced by two city policemen, and led them into a row of bungalows west of the City Hall Square; Alpha followed far behind and saw the words "Amp City Justice Department "Civil Cases Acceptance Office" and "Court No. [-]" and other signs, I couldn't help laughing. This row of houses was obviously converted from a warehouse, and it turned into a court?This is too childish, right?

With the mentality of watching a good show, Alpha followed in with a calm face.The civil court converted from a warehouse is not really majestic, but it does have a somewhat solemn atmosphere; members of the Ministry of Justice, also wearing overalls and name tags, received the group of petitioners, asked them a few words, and brought them into the so-called courtroom. Court No. [-].

Alpha, who followed him in, was quite speechless. The so-called civil court is an empty room with three tables and rows of stools opposite. A banner with the words "Keep the Court Quiet" written on it.

In Alpha's view, the ignorant, stupid, and vulgar women and workers were arranged to sit on benches by the city police, and they all seemed very quiet and obedient; within a few minutes, three so-called "judges", "judges", and The "clerk" walked in.

This so-called court is like a child's play in the eyes of the Flame Barrier, but they seem to be very serious; the name tags of the three members of the Ministry of Justice are placed on the table one by one, and then they solemnly take the opening oath; next, the clerk asked After the procedure was completed, the judge, the judge, and the clerk sat down in turn, as did Mrs. Mary, who was pleading, and the witnesses who attended and testified. (Purely author yy, non-serious court procedure, not to be misunderstood.)

The young judge sitting in the middle didn't know if he was 20 years old, his face was so green that water could be squeezed out, and there was still fine fluff on his lips.The judge began to question, asking who and what Madam Mary was asking for; Madam Mary, who looked a little sluggish, replied under the guidance of the judge, to the effect that she was a female worker in the spinning department of the Nancy Textile Factory, and she was recently competing for the next position. But it was during this sensitive period that rumors about her spread in the factory and intensified, which had seriously affected her work and life.

Ignoring the suspicious gazes of the women, the court magician who sneaked in silently and listened had the urge to grab the ground with his head, and he was serious about it for a long time. Is it really for such a small thing? !Women don't want to be gossiped, so just stay at home and don't go out!

But what made his egg hurt was that the "judge" really took it seriously, asking Mrs. Mary's workers and witnesses one by one to determine the time and place where the rumors appeared; In his eyes, the judge officially regarded this matter as a civil case, and transferred it to the city police department for investigation and evidence collection. The suspect will choose a date for trial after he arrives at the case...

The city police who accompanied the female workers just took the case transfer documents from the judge, saluted, and dismissed the court...

Walking out of the so-called Court No. [-], Alpha's face was a little green; to protect the reputation of the so-called baron woman, it would be over if someone directly arrested the person who spread the rumors. What's the difference?Hydesy, is this all crazy?

After wasting more than an hour to observe such a thing that broke Alpha's egg, the court magician was extremely unwilling; there were six or seven civil courts lined up in this row of bungalows, except for this so-called slanderous time. , There were also people coming and going from other courts, and Alpha, who was broken and broken, simply walked over and watched one by one.

So, next, Alpha attended three court sessions, namely domestic violence case, divorce case, private loan repudiation case...

Alpha, who seemed to have tens of thousands of wildebeest galloping past in his heart, squinted at the dead fish and watched a young so-called "judge" seriously deal with such trivial matters that he thought were not worth mentioning; The city police, who work closely with the Ministry of Justice, perform tasks such as dragging the husband who beat his wife to the management center in court, accompanying the divorced concubine to move furniture and property at home, and making the defendant who reneged on his debts sign a forced labor contract and work to repay the debt. No more damage to his shattered worldview...

Walking out of the so-called Ministry of Justice with unsteady steps, Alpha's eyes were dizzy; on the first day he came, he said that he knew that there were more than 8000 professional-level armed forces in Hydesham's face, which was enough for the average The small principality of the city publicly challenged them; the city police who were running around for the trivial matters of the common people were not good-looking, but if they were transferred to other areas, they would all be superior professional grades.But compared to professional-level powerhouses running around to serve the common people, what hurts him even more is the attitude of the Frandy Brothers regime towards the common people—the officials in the city hall don’t even say whether they beat their wives, don’t pay back their debts, or divorce their concubines. Well, is this what the ruling class is supposed to do? !

When Alpha, who was in a very complicated mood, walked out of the city hall, he couldn't help but look back at the scarlet slogan on the gate; he had seen that sentence when he came last time, but he didn't take it seriously; look at it now , all kinds of feelings are hard to express - "No matter how small the people's affairs are, they are all big ones."

Alpha who was born as a commoner is a rare lucky one, but this does not mean that he is ignorant of the sufferings of the world and the difficulties of the world; he is favored by the nobles, and he has seen many incidents where the commoners were exploited by the nobles and found it difficult to make ends meet, but in his In consciousness, it is a very normal thing - the people are born to suffer, and the nobles are born to be noble, isn't this justified?

But look at Hydesey, look at Ump; there are no nobles here, and commoners here are treated as real human beings—

The Bulwark of Flame stood blankly at the gate of the city hall, unable to control his fluctuating state of mind; he no longer considered whether Prince Xavier could do what Brother Frandy did, but now he couldn't help thinking about it The question is: if he had been born in Hydesy...in the land ruled by these strange brothers, then...would he still be grateful to the nobles?Will he still grimly watch his neighbors and childhood friends struggling to survive under the almost crazy exploitation?

To judge others by himself, Alpha has to admit that this kind of governance that is almost pleasing to the people is far better than the rough management of the nobles, and can make the people in the Hydesey territory worship Brother Frandy as a god; but he still has difficulty It is unbelievable and even more difficult to understand, what is the use of being so good to these ignorant people? !

While the court magician was struggling, Fu Youguang came back with the elf prince.Seeing a familiar spell caster at the gate of the city hall from afar, Brother Guang stretched his neck to look it up, and it took him a long time to remember the identity of this guy; so, Fu You, who was holding the shy-eyed elf prince under his arm, Guang, holding the prince to order the guards, walked over loudly: "Good day, Mr. Alpha, are you here at the city hall?"
