Chapter 421: Sword Like a Meteor (Part I)

The war in the kingdom of Kolo has ceased, because the Marquis of Elfaro, the largest nobleman of the local faction, is dead, and his actions are known to everyone.

The local nobles were not able to ride the tiger, but Krylov III said: 'You have only been deceived by Albernard Elfaro, and if you are willing to turn from darkness to light, then I am willing to forgive your sins.' ’

Krylov III, unlike Serena, was not so resolute in his attitude to reform, and he would not have been as committed to the elimination of the exploiting class as Serena was, because he was an exploiting class himself.

Because of the gap between national conditions, people's feelings, and military strength, the Kolo Kingdom can only be the Kolo Kingdom, and it cannot be the second Sorrowful Wind Leader.

Krylov III is still on the road to victory, having won the civil war and retained the crown on his head.

With Abner Elfaro as a foil, Krylov III naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and his previous love for his people and nurses had already been shown in front of all the soldiers present at that time, since this was the case, then he had to show more love for his people.

He wanted to surpass his ancestor, 'Krylov I', the king who was called the 'Virtuous King', who shaped the most prosperous dynasty, and if Krylov III wanted to surpass him, he had to do better than him in every way!

Compared with the time of the 'virtuous king', Krylov III had many advantages, such as at that time, there was no such convenient papermaking technology in the world, and if the so-called 'basic education' was carried out at a glance like the head maid of the sad wind, then not only would his reputation be greatly improved, but also many talents would be obtained.

It was a plan to make a 'strong country', but it was only after careful consideration that King Krylov III made up his mind to develop 'basic education' in Greenland, as well as in the Territory of Plenty.

If basic education is carried out, then it will not be even a few years before many apprentices who can read, write, and count will flood the market.

Maybe this will crowd out many people's places, but it is essential if you want to make the country strong!

Such a 'talent' – a man who is already considered a 'talent' compared to many of the still ignorant commoners – has many paths to choose from, whether it is a stonemason, an astrologer, an apprentice mage, a merchant, a painter, or a bard.

The most important thing is that if the number of such people comes up, then in terms of cost, it is very cheap.

As the heir to the throne, as a mage, Krylov III had to learn a lot from an early age, and after the chief maid brought new numbers and new ways of calculating, he also learned, and it was not difficult for him to calculate the cost.

The upfront investment will be very lossy, and if you want to mass-produce such cheap 'talents', you must invest a lot of money, just like the production of armor.

But compared to the investment, the return is also very high!

It is not a return in money, but an invisible return that can be improved in all aspects of society, and this is what Krylov III wants.

On the triumphant road, Krylov III was like an arrow, and if the journey had been faster, he would have been able to complete the idea in his mind earlier.

But he can't, he needs to show that he 'loves the people like a son' and shows it to everyone.

To tell the truth, he doesn't like to come into contact with civilians very much, especially if he contacts with civilians in his current capacity, they will definitely tell him about their grievances, and when the time comes, no matter what he does with those who cause trouble, there is a high probability that the commoners will be dissatisfied, but as a 'king who loves his people like a son', he can't do that.

If it's a gang, it's okay to send some soldiers to make a show and warn them, but if it's a nobleman, that's what makes Krylov III the most headache.

There is a saying in the world of Assatom that 'my vassals are not my vassals', and Krylov III had a hard time dealing with them, he was not as strong as the chief maid, and he could not dispose of them if it were not for the nobles of his domain.

I didn't expect it to be so difficult just at the beginning!

"Mr. Tosoro, Mr. Kyle, what should I do......"

Among the king's army, the only people who can discuss this kind of thing with Krylov III are the knights of Tosolo and Kell, and the rest of the people cannot be trusted, even if it is the queen's father, if Krylov III discusses this matter with him, he will only think that Krylov III is 'crazy'.

Krylov III himself knew that if he really wanted to behave like that, he would eventually clash with the majority of the nobility over interests.

But that group of nobles is just a bunch of waste, a bunch of idiots, in that case, behaving so timidly.

Of course, that's human nature, which is understandable, but what they shouldn't have done was to propose that he lead the team to evacuate!

If you want to have a good reputation as a prostitute, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

In some things, Krylov III would have compromised with the nobility, but no one could stand in his way - no one!

Knight Tosolo frowned and glanced at Krylov III, a little surprised by the changes that had taken place in his former student.

A war has made him change his temperament so much, and he has gradually changed from a 'qualified king' to a 'good king', which has to surprise him.

However, because of this, the Knight of Tosolo and the Knight of Kyle also developed a sense of identification with Krylov III, and they were no longer as distant as before.

Two knights, who were as silent as a mountain, straddled two chairs, their tall figures even blocking out the sunlight.

"Your Majesty, if you really want to walk on this path, you will definitely face many difficulties and obstacles. ”

After a long silence, the Knight Tosolo said in a loud voice: "Instead of asking us, you should go and ...... with your staff."

"I can't trust them!" said Krylov III, "even though they are my staff, I can't trust them in this matter!"

"I am different from my ancestors, because of some previous mistakes, I am not like the ancestors of 'Krylov I', I have so many friends around me who are willing to help me, those nobles only talk about 'interests'!" Krylov III sighed, "No matter how much my staff team plans, they are always inseparable from 'nobles', which is not what I want." ”

Compared to Krylov I, he had many advantages, but also many disadvantages - for example, he did not have a powerful helper like the old Duke of Mauriguez.

"Then you talk to them about interests!" Knight Kyle snorted coldly, "Since the nobles only talk about interests, then you talk to them about interests!"

"But if I do that, I will have a conflict of interest with them......" said Krylov III with a frown.

"Then you will be a 'benefit exchange'!"

Knight Kell's words were sonorous and powerful, and Krylov III, who was being stared directly at him, suddenly felt creepy.

"Your Majesty, Kyle means you'll have to change your mindset. ”

Knight Tosolo shook his head, looked at Krylov III's somewhat confused eyes, and explained: "It seems to us that you now look like a restrained miser, who doesn't want to give and wants to get something in return, but how can there be such a cheap thing in this world?"

Krylov III's eyes widened, his hands subconsciously pressed the table, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he couldn't say anything.

"As I said before, walking on this road, you will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, some difficulties are difficult to overcome, and some can be easily passed, such as ...... now."

"Your Majesty......"

The Tosolo knight smiled and said, "If you think it's worth it, then it's worth it no matter how much you put in, and if you don't care, then the two of us won't be sitting here." It is your will to take any way, whether it is the thorny road that is praised by all, or the ordinary road to the void and the snake, we can't say anything - as your former teacher, that's all we can teach. Your Majesty, you can think about it now, and we will take our leave for now. ”
