"Mongol",

Genghis Khan?" Liliannu tried hard to chew the awkward words that sounded like a mansion. At the same time, he thought carefully about the nation that Egil mentioned...

"It seems, well, I think I heard some merchants from the East vaguely mention that that nation has a certain power in the East." Finally, after careful thinking, I only vaguely thought of this little bit. [..com]

"Did they claim that their country is the strongest in the East?" Egil said a little unhappy, and added a little in his heart: it was as if the Romans claimed this to their guests from the West.

"Well, it's true." Liliannu nodded, heading.

"It's useless to say more, you'll know in a few years." Egil was a little bored. He had thought of establishing diplomatic relations with the Tang Kingdom, and even alliances to fight against Mongolia together. However, this idea was eliminated at the first moment. The Central Plains dynasty's sense of superiority to the four barbarians of China was hundreds of times stronger than Rome. If you establish diplomatic relations with others equally, they would definitely think that you took the wrong medicine.

"Don't accept any interactions other than tribute." The arrogant personality of the Central Plains dynasty made the arrogant Egil unable to accept it anyway, and he could not explain it to his subjects in the country.

"Then, I will wait and see." Liliannu chuckled and closed his hair, stood up and stretched, showing an extremely attractive curve of his body. This made Egil secretly exclaim: "What a beauty." However, Liliannu's attitude of not taking it seriously also made Egil understand that this guy probably did not take what Egil said seriously. But it was no wonder. Before the incident happened, humans were basically like this. They were slow to move and lacked half-severe. It was like a huge elastic ball that was bounced up all of a sudden, ready to land on the ground. When people saw this, some tried to dodge, and some people wanted to resist, but they all just "want" to do this rather than really doing it. This was just a small psychological activity.

In fact, what people do most often is to look up at the sky with tongues and wait for the huge sphere to fall down. And secretly pray that the thing that should be si will not fall on their heads.

Egil sighed secretly, but Yitu comforted himself like this: "Maybe in the future, His Royal Highness will be more concerned about things in the East. Then, it will further affect her father. As long as you work hard, you will understand what a terrifying nation Mongolia is. At that time, it is impossible for the Normans to have one more ally."

After saying this, Egil changed the topic, told some jokes, told a few interesting stories and rare things. In addition, he discussed knowledge such as astronomy, physics, mathematics with the other party. Although Egil basically threw his high school degree into the toilet after years of battles. However, in this era, even four operations were considered advanced knowledge. Therefore, talents like Egil, who are of junior high school level, can be regarded as the saying of a high-level scholar. If you talk about the two-way system of equations, you will let Lili Annu see Egil in a different view.

"I didn't expect that Egil, you are so smart..." Liliannu's admiring gaze made Egil feel satisfied again: "I thought about something for a long time, but you solved it without much effort. It's really amazing."

"There are no things in this way." Egil shook his head: "It may be admirable for a single person to be only proficient. But for a country, the role of a single person is really limited. Only when the government is popularized and reaches a certain amount can the entire country benefit and promote development."

Hearing Egil say this, Liliannu was a little confused: "Does those slaves and civilians also need to learn this knowledge? Egil, are you a little too much? Farmers only need to farm and merchants only need to do business. The knowledge should be in the hands of scholars. Only in this way can each perform its own duties and ensure the stable development of a country."

"This is indeed a theory." Egil nodded, then said: "But I think so: in history, the role of some geniuses cannot be denied. At the same time, the role of other more general people cannot be denied. And if some theories and knowledge of those geniuses cannot be popularized, it will ultimately not be able to have a good promotion effect on the country.

As you said just now, farmers need knowledge of agriculture, knowledge of astronomy and calendar, and knowledge of botany. If a farmer can understand these disciplines and master these professional knowledge and skills, then he will get more harvests.

Similarly, small businessmen need to use mathematics, while large businessmen need to use philosophy craftsmen to produce knowledge such as applied physics, geometry, etc. So I think things are not as you said. Mastering knowledge and technology is very important for any industry."

"But... those industries are old and old, they should have their own skills and abilities..."

Hearing Egil say this, Liliannu was shaken, but this medieval traditional concept of performing her duties still made her refute this.

"Are you talking about experience, customs, etc.?" Egil nodded: "Indeed, those things are very useful. But how many of them are scientific and how many are wrong? It seems that the natives of the New World who I said before believed that their crops were well harvested because they sacrificed the lives of many people to their gods. This is also an experience custom. But can you say it is correct?"

Liliannu shook his head slowly: "Of course not those natives."

"Those indigenous people, although their level of civilization is different, are they also humans." Egil cut off Lilianu's words: "They will make mistakes that humans will make. And even if you don't say they do, do you think that the current world, our world, the customs that are popular in our world, are all correct?"

"Indeed, what you said is very reasonable." In the end, Liliannu nodded reluctantly, confirming that what Egil said was correct. But he asked in dissatisfaction: "But, your Majesty, what you said is indeed very good. But can it really become a reality? Or, can you do this in the Norman Empire?"

"Of course." Egil clapped his hands and thought to himself: I'm waiting for you to say that. So he said: "Elementary and secondary colleges have been popularized in various capitals and important cities. Higher colleges are established in various capitals and prefectures. In the capitals, there are even higher universities. Thousands of scholars teach the people of all classes of the empire in these colleges, of course, it costs money."

"Ha?" Liliannu was a little shocked when he heard the previous one, but when he heard Egil say the last sentence, he was amused and crying in Liliannu's heart. The place where schools, colleges, and scholars gather and communicate was extremely sacred. How could it be linked to money? This is simply a blasphemy to knowledge.

"Because the empire's finances are poor," Egil shrugged: "It takes a lot of money to maintain the army, and to maintain the government's royal expenses."

"...If this is the case, then it should be difficult to build the society you call it, right?" said Lili Annu.

"Of course it's difficult." Egil nodded: "In fact, I think it's basically impossible to reach the level I said at this stage. Of course, I don't need to reach that level as long as it's better than other countries, that's fine."

"You only need to be stronger than other countries..., right?" Lilian Nu nodded with understanding. After that, Egil showed off his administrative system again.

"The officials in my country are not hereditary nobles, nor are they appointed by their superiors at will. Instead, they are systematically studied in the academy and through actual investigation, they must be familiar with professional knowledge. Only in this way can they take office. It is like if you want to serve as a judge, you need to understand the laws of the empire. If you want to serve as a tax officer, you must be familiar with the commercial tax rate, and you can calculate the correct tax math, etc. If you want to serve as a ruling official, you need to understand philosophy, politics, economics, etc. Of course, most people are not that powerful and can master so much knowledge. If you only specialize in one subject, you will serve as a more inferior auxiliary and specialized in the type of officials."

"So that's it. If so, it's really good for the country." Liliannu nodded and said, "Maybe there is indeed a lot to learn from the Norman Empire."

"Yes, because that's the empire I'm proud of."

Finally, Egil ended this conversation with such a sentence. In the next few days, Egil had several conversations with Lilliannu in different places. The more he talked about this, the more Lilliannu felt that Egil's talent was outstanding. The Norman Empire had gradually surpassed Rome in many aspects. Therefore, the Greek princess's idea of ​​reform became stronger. However, Egil did not tell her one thing, that is, Rome and Norman were different from Norman, and Norman were emerging countries, and everything came to prosper. Like a white scroll, Egil could naturally allow Egil to paint it at will. However, Rome was an ancient country with a rich background. It was like a masterpiece that had been made, and if you were not careful, it would backfire and destroy the original artistic conception...

"The turbulence caused by the power of reform and conservative forces is often more severe than that caused by foreign enemies."..." After boarding the ship again, he was reluctant to part with Liliannu, and agreed to meet with Liliannu after the crusades returned, Egil, who was smiling gently, accepted Liliannu's shy kiss on the deck of the lonely morning, and thought: "If Rome itself does not make any mistakes, it is indeed difficult for me to conquer Rome. However, what happened to Rome itself?"
