Master Overlord
Chapter 39
Seeing the bachelor''s face puzzled, Arthur felt that he had almost paved the way and it was time to get down to business.
"Bachelor Boye, what is the responsibility of the bachelor?"
Seeing Arthur''s bright eyes, Mr. Boye was stunned. He suddenly realized that Arthur in front of him was very different from a few months ago. He would take the initiative to discuss such a problem with him.
Can a winter and a victory change a paranoid teenager so much?
Mr. Boye didn''t have time to think carefully. He replied to his eyes, "the responsibility of the bachelor is to record history, inherit civilization, assist kings and lords, and govern the territory."
Arthur smiled gently: "so, your bachelor is not as good as the priests or monks."
"How can this be compared!" Bachelor Boye was excited. "Which of their prophecies and legends is a real historical event, and how did they really realize the beauty they promised! Lord count, isn''t it the best explanation that the priests of the God of light fled three years ago?"
Three years ago, when they learned that Lingfeng castle would fight alone to resist the animal tide, the priests of the God of light were the first to escape from Shanghe collar.
This matter greatly shook the will of the serfs, and Shanghe town was in chaos. It was a dry firewood for Arthur''s father''s death.
After Arthur inherited Lingfeng castle, he no longer allowed priests of any religion to enter Shanghe collar. He hated these people from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at the excited bachelor, Arthur waved and asked him to sit down again.
"Although they are full of beautiful lies, they have at least comforted the poor soul. What about you? You just bury yourself in writing and fill history into a new grave. If they are liars selling beautiful things, you are just grave diggers and grave sweepers."
Mr. Boye immediately wanted to refute, but he was stunned with his mouth open. Finally, he just said, "it''s not the fault of the scholars!"
Looking at the gray bearded bachelor sitting there with a resentful face, Arthur continued: "bachelor, a good steel will be forged into a sword, and bright gemstones will appear on the crown and scepter, and only those ordinary stones will be used to pave roads and build houses."
"Before steel was smelted, it was just ordinary stones, and gemstones were the same in the eyes of beasts!" the bachelor retorted impolitely.
The two played dark games with each other. One said that the bachelor was useless, and the other said that the bachelor was just a lack of talent.
Looking at the resentful bachelor Boye in front of him, Arthur smiled and said, "what if I want to be the one who cherishes precious stones?"
The bachelor was stunned and immediately stared at Arthur with those bright eyes.
Arthur said, "before you, there was an architect named torio sitting in this chair. I''ve asked him to start building the school."
"Mr. Boye, Shanghe town is about to launch a reform, and in this reform, I intend to promote education. It is not enough to sort out and inherit the past history, but we should carry it forward and let everyone know what efforts our ancestors made to get their current life."
"All..."
"Yes, everyone!" Arthur replied positively to the surprised bachelor Boye.
"No, no!" said Mr. Boye quickly after a little hesitation: "Lord Arthur, you''re too risky! If you let everyone receive education, people''s hearts will float, which will not be conducive to the stability of your territory."
Although it was an objection, Arthur was very satisfied with such an objection.
Nothing is more important to a ruler than the stability of his rule.
"Bachelor, everything has two sides. People''s floating is not all a bad thing. Places without waves are destined to become stagnant water. As long as the system and management are proper, the floating people will be transformed into vitality."
Hearing Arthur''s self-confidence and persistence, the bachelor became worried: "Sir, you are still too young! The matter of educating the whole people, even the ancient kings, has not been carried out, and we have no history to learn from. This may not be waves, but rough waves, and the consequences will be something you absolutely don''t want to see."
"That''s why you''re in this situation, right?" Arthur asked blandly.
Mr. Boye didn''t admit it, but he didn''t deny it. He sat opposite Arthur and looked at him calmly.
The bachelor was grateful and even gratified that Arthur had such an idea.
But he had to think about Arthur and educate the whole people. If he was careless, he might lead to the destruction of the tustra family and all the bachelors.
Arthur is still too young to have such an idea, which is probably just a young man''s impulse and beautiful ideal.
Looking at the bachelor, Arthur said definitely, "you don''t know your value, but I know that you haven''t found your own direction, but I can give you a direction! Bachelor, don''t worry too much. Educating the people is only a part of the reform. Stupid boatman is afraid of the waves, and smart boatman will let the waves push him forward."
Looking at Arthur with a confident face, Mr. Boye shook his head: "Lord Arthur, thank you for thinking like this, but you are too young. Things never happen according to people''s expectations. For good expectations, they are often the opposite."
"I have never found that the bachelor is still a pessimist," Arthur said with a trace of disdain.
"This is not pessimism, but the truth told by history."
"Shit truth!"
Arthur suddenly raised his voice and shouted at Mr. Boye: "I tell you, history tells people that the only truth is that everything now will become history in the future!"
"Mr. Boye, think about the former kings in your mouth just now. Which of them is not groping forward. Have they ever stopped moving forward because they have no historical reference, unpredictable consequences, or their own safety? Their history is not for you to educate others to make a living, but to encourage future generations to learn their spirit!"
Arthur''s voice startled the guard outside the door, and Thorne broke in immediately.
"My Lord."
"Nothing, go down." Arthur waved and motioned Thorne to step back.
Thorne looked at Arthur, glanced at the stunned bachelor Boye, bowed and withdrew from the study.
After a long silence, Mr. Boye looked at Arthur again and asked calmly, "Sir, how are you going to carry out education? What effect do you want to achieve? Have you considered the content of the professor?"
Arthur smiled gently. He knew that the bachelor was deliberately testing him.
If the answer is not good, even if his previous words are beautiful, he will be considered young, impulsive and hot-blooded by the other party.
Mr. Boye, who has a large beard and gray hair, will not easily change his views and decisions because of Arthur''s beautiful words.
"To promote education, my first step plan is the literacy campaign!"
