Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Burials, speeches, silences, people spent a full day at the newly built Valentine National Cemetery.

It was not until the sun went down and the cool wind blew that it gradually dissipated.

According to common sense, there should be a grand banquet so that the grieving people can come together, support each other, and remember the victims and the brave together.

- Of course, the participants in this banquet are only limited to those with status, power, power or wealth, but some soldiers and civilians who were born in poverty but fought bravely will also be entertained. Confused and shabby, they raised their glasses to greet them, perfectly concealed the contempt and overlook in their hearts, praised and treated them as heroes, and pretended.

It is also for this reason that Kant rejected the proposal of the banquet.

The reasons are also very good - the war has not ended, countless sacrifices have been made, Valentine's supplies are still insufficient, and today is the season to commemorate heroes. According to the tradition of Aurora, there should be no extravagant banquets, so please forgive me. .

People who are eager to get closer to Kant naturally feel a pity, but on the surface they still have to praise His Highness Kant's kindness and compassion. In fact, who the **** cares what the tradition of Aurora is, the key is that this is what Kant said, then It must be good, it must be right.

Judging from their appearance, even if Kant said that the tradition of Aurora is that everyone dances at the grave after the burial, it is estimated that these gentlemen will start to twist their butts without hesitation.

"It's tiring...even more tiring than fighting."

The sunset lit up the sky, and the group had returned to Valentine. Naturally, there were officials from the city hall at the national cemetery who were responsible for the finishing touches. Of course, Kant was happy to be lazy, and no one would say anything.

After the war, Kant has almost become the actual supreme ruler of Valentine, but he still lives in the residence of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce, which seems ambiguous and subtle, and implicitly implies a wave, so that the evaluation of the Vidal family It rose out of thin air, no wonder Leona's eldest brother Pi Dian Pi Dian ran over.

After entering, a steward and servants stepped forward to greet him, and Kant asked, "Is Leona still back?"

When he left earlier, Kant greeted Leona with the envious and jealous eyes of the upper class and the ladies, but who knew he was rejected because she had something to say to her eldest brother.

At that time, the silver-haired girl's expression was very strange. After saying a few words, she almost forcibly pulled her little white-faced big brother to go in the other direction in front of everyone's eyes, so that the big brother could only smile apologetically to Kant. It's a bit complicated, and I can't even say a word.

- What are you doing, you haven't introduced your brother to me until now, so it seems like I'll do something to him, it's weird.

Hearing the words, the other party bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, the eldest lady has not returned yet."

Kant raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

He came back with the 200 or 300 cavalry of the mercenary group. Of course, he was not happy, and there were many people along the road who caught up to say a few words to him, and sometimes there were shouts and praises from the people. Let me say a few words, such a waste of time by procrastinating, but I still came back earlier than Leona.

Even if I have something to say to my brother, it's the same when I come back.

As soon as this thought turned around, Kant felt that someone was poking his back.

He turned back and saw Hong San gestured with his eyes.

Turning around to look, the steward... seems to be a little scared.

Kant just made a "huh", which made him feel fear and fear.

This person bends so much that it is even 90 degrees perpendicular to his thighs, and he has almost reached the point of servile kneeling. Although they were polite and respected themselves before, they are not like they are now. After a war, People are still the same people, but everything is different.

Kant sighed: "You don't have to be like this. I wasn't moody before, and I didn't treat you as ants. The current me is no different from the original me, so what will happen to you? If there is any change, That is also growing up, realizing mercy and justice, how can you be angry at you at will, how can people change so quickly in a few days, I have not changed, but you have changed."

As soon as he said these words, these stewards and servants not only did not feel grateful, but their expressions changed greatly, and they even began to tremble. Kant could see each other's legs trembling.

"Sir...sorry...I...I..."

This steward is not the old butler by Leona's side, but he is also a middle-level employee of the Vidal family. Because of his experience, he was valued by Leona... But now, the other party stammered, and his tone was full of fear and anxiety.

Kant slowly exhaled and rolled his eyes silently.

If the other party hadn't bowed so deeply that he couldn't see Kant's face, or he would have been scared to death when he saw this blank eye...

Seeing this, Hong San said: "Don't be afraid, don't be cautious, His Highness has no intention of accusing you, and he will not be angry, his anger will only be aimed at evil and injustice, not you who work hard, your every A task was done very well and beyond reproach..."

After so comforting, the other party backed away gratefully.

After they were far away, Kant sighed: "How do you feel that what I say now is wrong."

"It's not you, it's them, they don't understand yet."

Hong San smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness, Hong San was kneeling before, but these people have never really stood up. Now they don't know the scenery at high places, so sometimes, we have to lean down and talk to them. , then teach and encourage until they get up too."

"The long road is long, how far and how difficult." Kant said, "What I have seen, heard, thought and said today is all from the heart. I saw the thousands of ignorant people and realized that the road is difficult. And this is just the commoners and nobles in one city and one place, not to mention the entire country and the entire world."

Hong San smiled and said, "But you still made such a speech, which is absolutely stunning and heart-wrenching."

Kant shrugged: "It's just a speech... The vast majority of people present today, go back to sleep at night and forget what I said tomorrow. After all, the speech is passionate, but it doesn't last long. It takes a moment, and the daily life of life is boring, day after day, it is extremely long.”

Hong San shook his head and said, "No, Your Highness doesn't need to be so pessimistic. Today's speech is just a seed planted. Of course, most people will not become self-improving, brave and confident people from today's speech. A seed buried in the sand will not germinate and grow on its own, but we can keep watering and fertilizing it and take care of it, even if it is a trivial seed, it will become a fruit sooner or later."

Kant's expression moved slightly: "What about the specifics?"

"It's nothing more than supervising, spurring, rewarding, publicizing, building momentum, and creating an atmosphere."

Hong San calmly said: "Most of the problems that are difficult to solve in this world are ultimately due to lack of money, and we only operate Valentine's Day, but we have contributions from the province's aristocratic wealthy businessmen, official support from Goethe, and even The support from foreign forces, and even the ransom of the Dusk Moon Dynasty... is more than enough."

He pointed his finger and said: "The war is over, but there are a lot of follow-up work, city destruction, farmland damage, battlefield remains... People need to be employed everywhere."

"We use your prestige and prestige to attract refugees, recruit them to work, and even select strong and brave people to join the army, pay more, give care, give attention, make them grateful, make them proud, and make them feel happy, Let them be a group, eat and live together, and have fun together."

"Teach them the principles of self-confidence and self-improvement from time to time, let them listen to His Highness's speech, and teach them the principles of being human... There are three main points."

"First, to form a sense of belonging, second, to shape the overall positive atmosphere, and third, to establish a sense of honor."

Kant was taken aback for a moment.

Then he subconsciously asked: "It's such a huge consumption, and the work handled after the war will always be done one day. The money is not endless, but there will be more and more people. What will happen then?"

Hong Sanshi smiled and said, "Your Highness is confused. The so-called use of things and people to the best of their abilities. Those small things that your minister said are your mission, and those big things that your highness said are of course His Highness's mission."

"…"

Kant reacted and laughed.

—I've been a bit of a **** idiot since pounding out those two dollops of peanut butter.

Learn about industrialization.

Damn, is there still too many people in the just-starting industrial society?

Hong San glanced at Kant and exclaimed: "Looking at the appearance of His Highness, do you already have an idea?"

Kant nodded: "The idea is there, but the specific situation has to be analyzed in detail, but fortunately, there is a lot to be done, you can think about it step by step, step by step."

Hong San asked curiously, "Has Your Highness thought of the first step?"

Kant smiled: "Even a layman like me knows without thinking. The first thing to do is to expand food production and at the same time set up education."

Improve breeding, open up arable land, improve tools, and innovate ideas.

At the same time, promote education, set up schools, and share knowledge.

In this way, when food production increases sharply and a large number of agricultural populations are liberated, and at the same time, popular education has created a batch of skilled population, then industrialization can take a healthy and stable first step... Of course, it is only the first step. Just one step.

As for what happened in the future... I'll talk about it later.

Kant thought both apprehensively and optimistically.

No matter how smart Hong San was, he couldn't imagine what Kant was worried about. He trusted Kant 100%. Although the statement of "expanding grain production and setting up educational schools" sounds very empty, since Kant said so, it must be There is a way, it can be done—he thought so.

So he bowed happily and said, "Then there is Your Highness Lao."

"No... You are the one who has the hard work." Kant said, "You have worked hard these days. You are busy every day, coordinating planning, meeting guests for me, and dealing with those boring guys for me..."

"It's not hard work, but I feel fulfilled, and I feel regret for the time I wasted before... Regardless of those dull days, if I had studied more and worked harder under Master's school, I would be able to help Your Highness even more now, I'm really ashamed. ." Hong San sighed, "I just wish I didn't meet you sooner."

He does not mean that.

Kant's expression moved slightly and said, "I asked about your teacher's door before... Now that you have changed your mind and learned to be a person, your teacher will also feel relieved and happy, don't you plan to return to the door?"

Hong San pondered for a while and asked, "Does your Highness want to recruit someone from my division?"

"…"

Kant rolled his eyes: "Don't make me so utilitarian, okay?"

Hong San laughed twice. Compared with the past, he has been swept away from his vulgar and flattering temperament.

But when he thinks of his master and his sect, his face also shows a complicated look, with nostalgia, sigh, and timidity similar to the timidity of being close to the country.

"I want to send a letter to the master..."

He said slowly: "Always let the old man know about this and know that I have learned it well. Moreover, since I am loyal to His Highness, it is also my duty to find and recruit talents for His Highness."

"It's just His Royal Highness's vision. Now you are attracting the attention of the world. I stay by your side, and I also have a lot of light. My words and deeds are paid attention to by many people. If the letter is not confidential and it is checked by people with a heart, I am afraid it will bring a lot of trouble to my master. ...so you have to be careful."

He sighed again: "I should have gone there in person, but I can't go away before His Highness's event is over... In any case, after the war is over, at least temporarily."

Speaking of this, Kant's smile disappeared.

On the fifth day, the emissary of the elf had not yet appeared...not even the intermediary who delivered the message.

He said, "So what did the elves think? Are they going to fight to the end? Or is there some conspiracy?"

Hong San said: "Perhaps a result has not yet been discussed. I asked a few mayors today, and the information shows that the offensive of the various elves has slowed down in the past few days, and the generals of the expeditionary army are also very afraid of their army. In an instant, they were wiped out by the meteor shower that fell from the sky... They are all waiting for the order from the capital."

Kant frowned.

Suddenly, a hand pressed on his shoulder.

Kant looked up and found that Hong San was looking at him, and said in a serious tone: "Your Highness, do you remember what I said earlier? The funeral is over, you can improve your summary and improve your strategic deterrent power a little bit, then you can take a good rest and stop worrying about it. Worry about things that haven’t happened yet, it’s the elves who should worry about it.”

Kant froze for a moment, then nodded slowly.

He was really tired.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Hong San showing a subtle smirk on the opposite side.

"After all, Your Highness, you can only take advantage of these few days to take a good rest. In a few days, you should have more things to worry about. In addition to the war between the elves, Princess Tina will probably have news. ."

Kant's expression slowly changed.

"Princess Tina, Miss Leona, and the Scarlet Queen... Your Highness, please take care of yourself, this is the only thing that I can't help you."
