Chapter 517

Victor took a full 30 day rest in cogston, far exceeding his expectations.

Dozens of scholars from the silver and white tower visited the Rock Castle together. King Rex and archbishop Vespucci held a tea party for 27 days, and arranged for them to exchange with Victor new academic theories in many fields, such as hydraulic engineering design, new overall planning methods of agriculture and animal husbandry, and "the relationship between productivity and social system".

Of course, in most cases, Victor was expounding his views, and scholars focused on taking notes. They are also keen to ask Victor questions and elicit their own academic views. However, before Victor could answer, scholars would blow their beards and stare at each other, sneer at each other, and quarrel first.

Although Victor intended to spread his ideas to the aristocratic academic community, the dispute between scholars will not end in less than half a year. Victor was so annoyed that he simply left and refused to attend the scholar tea party in Rock Castle again. However, master Edwin and master Sterling of the August family came forward to ask for help many times. Victor reluctantly agreed to continue to participate in the scholar tea party and made three rules with the silver and white scholars. He only talked for half a day and answered four questions every day. The scholars' questions must be discussed by themselves before they can be put forward at the tea party the next day.

Thirty days later, everything was said and everything was asked. Viscount Randall oiled the soles of his feet and led his entourage into the central and southern mountains of Neville. Master Edwin did not continue to follow victor. He met his classmates and returned to the silver and white tower in King al.

Four months later, autumn and winter came, and the bleak water season of all things came as scheduled. During this period, a far-reaching event took place in the human country.

The silver white tower held an Academic Summit, which was unanimously approved by 21 scholars and masters, and awarded Viscount Randall the title of "University of silver white tower". Yinbai tower also clearly put forward the theory of social productivity, saying that the emergence of tenant system is in line with the changes of social productivity, meets the needs of the pioneering era, and is not transferred by personal will. At the same time, the silver white tower classifies the free people into two groups: urban free people and tenants, while the refugees who illegally occupy the land are directly listed as bandits by the tower.

This is the first time since the establishment of the Yinbai tower that the refugee camp has been publicly and unanimously called a bandit. In this regard, the church has not made a statement for the time being. It is reported that the Privy Council and the old group of abbots have discussed this issue. However, all human countries, including the Sassanian Empire, began to re divide the free people groups and build a legal basis in advance to crack down on the refugee camps occupying private land.

The issue of refugee camps has always been very sensitive. Local lords insisted on exploiting the refugee camps in their territory by means of trade and refused to accept their offerings, resulting in the absence of a relationship of protection, redemption and dedication in the refugee camps, which itself does not have legitimacy. However, it is difficult for the clergy of the church to abandon the increase in the number of believers brought by the growth of the refugee population, strive to coordinate the relationship between the vassal villages and the refugee camps, and try to turn the refugees into legitimate people.

Now, the Lord is willing to open the door to the refugees who occupy land illegally, turn them into tenants and then bring them under the rule. There is no reason for the church to shield refugee camps that refuse to serve as tenants. The church's delay in stating its position is to strive for a buffer time for the migration and dissolution of refugee camps. In fact, the church and the LORD have reached a tacit understanding. The Lord exerts pressure on the private village, and the stationed priests appease and persuade them to dissolve the migration. When time comes, the stubborn and ambitious in the refugee camp will be severely punished by the Lord.

The silver white tower and the white tower camp are completely two concepts. There are also scholars from the Sassanian Empire inside the silver white tower. On the surface, the silver white tower is a neutral academic organization. In fact, it is the mouthpiece for secular lords to unite to speak to the church. The ancient sol covenant and the new covenant of light 300 years ago were cases in which the silver and white tower fought for the interests of secular lords. Before that, the coinage and aristocratic sanctions were completely in the hands of the church. However, both Sol's covenant and Guangming's new covenant experienced long-term consultation and even bloody struggle, and the two sides compromised with each other. On the issue of tenant system, it is the first time that the silver white tower has reached a consensus with the church so quickly.

Although the cardinal Council has not yet made a clear statement, the bishops and powerful lords of the major dioceses have jointly guided Viscount del's academic theory to become the hottest topic at present. The so-called "productivity determines the evolution of social system, not transferred by individual will" implies that no one can stop the trend of history. This laid a theoretical foundation for the great Lord to carry out the tenant system downward.

At the same time, the theory implied the thought of "popular determinism". The reformers in the Church took the Lord's first safeguarding the interests of the people as the starting point, blocking the opposition of the Conservatives.

The theory of political economy in modern society coincides with the thought of "people first and monarch second", but in practice, it is not an absolute truth. In fact, even in the 21st century, there are still many countries with developed productivity and relatively backward production relations. The ruler always controls the social form and ideology of his country.

Human sociality determines the pyramid like social structure, and no political system can get rid of the realistic pattern of "minority ruling the majority". Once this realistic pattern is broken, everyone should realize their own ideas, which will lead to disastrous consequences. Human civilization will immediately collapse, social order will disappear, and subjugation and extinction of the country and species is imminent.

This is still the case in the earth world where there is no significant difference in the level of life, not to mention the different world with great differences in individual strength?

If the core members of the church unanimously oppose the reform, the tenant system can not be carried out at all. It is the common interest that brings the secular lords and clergy together.

The king and great lords wanted to strengthen the central power through the tenant system. Ordinary lords and vassals regarded the tenant as the wealth of the territory, while the clergy saw the efficient way of harvesting faith. For Victor, this is the first and most critical step towards success.

For thousands of years, the church punished the Lord in the name of redemption, and the Lord threatened the church in the name of protection. The infiltration and struggle between the two sides never stopped. If Victor closed the door and set up his own feudal centralization and mercenary corps, the church could beat him back at any time. Victor brought everyone in to play, and everyone benefited from it. It was difficult for some people to punish Viscount Randall through the power of the church.

Making up for loopholes and eliminating risks in advance are the main reasons why Victor spread new ideas and married the tenant system to the vassal system.

On the other hand, the silver white tower took the lead in advocating the tenant system, which indicates that the secular lords have mastered a set of political solutions of "relying on the people to respect themselves". From now on, the secular Lord will take the initiative in the game with the clergy as the spokesman of the people's interests.

In addition to this event that is enough to change the course of human history, another major event has taken place in the human country.

Sophia returned from the arete plateau and has arrived at the bronze halberd City, an important trade town of the Sassanian empire. According to the notice of the church, Sophia reached a new trade agreement with the barbarians on behalf of the human country. The quadrennial barbarian people's Congress assembly in harotes fortress was banned and changed to unrestricted trade every year, which was handled by Sophia urusa.

After ten thousand years, mankind once again established diplomatic relations with other races and actually affected their decision-making.

This is definitely good news, but Victor doesn't know the specific details yet.

In addition, Fengya, the golden jackal who ravaged the Neville Kingdom, was surrounded in the southern mountains... This is not the first time it has successfully broken through.

King Rex was extremely angry at the repeated failure of the sword Mantis knights. The Rock Castle issued a king's order offering a reward of 200000 gold sol and a baron in exchange for the head of wind tooth. The church spread the reward order of the kingdom of Neville to all parishes. At that time, many Rangers and mercenaries who wanted to take a chance gathered in the mountains and forests in the south of Neville, with a total number of more than 7000.

However, Victor believes that the Neville royal family deliberately sent a reward message. It is certain that the ferocious jackal of the golden order is difficult to catch, but there is no way for the kingdom of Neville to take it. Over the past six months, the number of Fengya's active attacks on human settlements has decreased sharply. It has fled from the middle of the relatively densely populated kingdom to the sparsely populated southern mountains, and can be surrounded by sword Mantis knights.

These signs show that everything is under the control of the kingdom of Neville. Victor would not be surprised if Rex immediately took out the head of the wind tooth.

A kingdom of Nuo Da always keeps some wizards with special abilities, right?

The mountain people in the south of Neville have never paid much attention to the local Lord. Rex just used the name of rounding up Fengya to teach those wild people a good lesson, completely bring them under the rule of the Kingdom, and recruit more than 7000 mercenaries and knight Rangers.

Rex issued a reward order, which saved the cost of holding a knight competition.

Victor estimated that the reward and Baron collar of 200000 kinsol have been secretly paid... If King Rex can't do this, just hit him dead.

Victor has nothing to do with the little trick of the neville people to earn both fame and wealth. He is busy with his work now.

The Lord of South Central Neville gave Victor a gift. Gold ingots alone weighed nearly two tons. The fineness of these gold is uneven, but it is also worth 187000 gold sol to the Gambis royal family. If Victor casts them into gold sol, it will be at least more than one million!

After collecting so much money, how can I do it without working hard?

After more than eight months of trekking, eating and sleeping in the open, Victor basically completed the task of surveying the terrain and re planning water conservancy, agriculture and animal husbandry facilities. Only count de Kaiser has not gone yet.

Victor ranked Mrs. Dolly's territory last because count de Kaiser was the most remote; Second, he can't be too warm to Neo West's neighbors in front of Catherine; Third, of course, it is to delay time. When the water season comes, people hide in the town for the winter, so that he can collect the rune crystal of kakimosen Grand Canyon.

That evening, Victor deliberately led the team to find a leeward mountain depression in the central mountain forest of Neville and set up camp.

Viscount Randall's entourage and guards are strong secret warriors with rich field survival experience. They cut down trees, built many rain shelters with oil canvas and wood, and then acted separately, hunting and collecting, carrying water and firewood, feeding fast birds, lighting a fire to cook, and taking care of everything.

After dinner, everyone gathered together to chat, arranged the night order, and went back to the shed to rest. They were ready to leave early tomorrow morning and return to cogston for rest.

The Conrad Knight of kite castle and his secret warriors are responsible for guarding the middle of the night. It's rare that the weather tonight is good. There are no clouds in the air. There is only a high silver moon waving a quiet and cold brilliance. Knight Conrad simply doesn't light a bonfire to avoid a large amount of smoke from the wet firewood and smoking his companions who are resting in the camp. He set up three guard posts at the periphery of the camp, each of which was attended by two secret law soldiers, who were summoned with oil wood torches. He and the remaining three secret law soldiers were divided into two groups to patrol around the three guard posts.

As the night grew thicker, a cold fog floated in the depression. Conrad held the sword handle in his hand, stopped to listen to the howling of wild animals in the distance, looked at the fire light of the guard post, and continued to patrol with his companions.

At night, the howling of wild animals can be heard in the mountains and forests, which means safety. If it is quiet around, it means that they are stared at by powerful ferocious monsters. Conrad had never encountered such a situation in the Neville mountains. The team led by Viscount Randall was very powerful. The fierce monsters had a keen intuition and generally avoided them from a distance. The people who ran to die were ordinary goods. Even if they were strong, fierce and had no sharp fighting intuition, Conrad could easily clean them up, There is no need for Lord Randall or the paladins.

However, the most reassuring thing for Conrad is the "timid giant" Caligula. His intuition of danger has reached an extraordinary level. With him, he doesn't have to worry about being raided by powerful monsters. Although Caligula did not have the courage to fight with monsters, Conrad believed that with his extraordinary intuition and loyal character, his highness goron would take Caligula as his confidant and give him the status of oath knight.

Caligula is the personal guard of Lord Randall, and it's also good... Conrad smiles and keeps walking. Crocodile leather boots trample on dead branches and leaves, making a crunchy sound. The knight of the house of interior thought at this moment:

In the future, I will serve the descendants of Lord Randall and his majesty Catherine. I can be regarded as the confidant of his royal blood.

Suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps in the direction of the camp. Conrad turned his head and saw a slender and tall figure gradually clear in the cold fog, and suddenly complained secretly.

Viscount Randall, dressed in double headed dragon and lizard skin armor, hung two long gold swords around his waist and carrying a silver wing bow, walked alone to Conrad. The knight of the house of internal affairs with the secret warrior came forward, bowed and asked respectfully:

"Sir, are you going out alone again?"

Viscount Randall smiled, opened a corner of his cloak and showed the knight of the house of interior two red eyed letter crows tied under his ribs.

"Yes, the moonlight is good tonight. It's just right for me to go out for a walk."
