While eating wheat steamed bread, Eugenie asked, "are these foods produced in the territory?"


    Steamed bread was a kind of food that she knew when she came to Shanghe collar.


    At first, she was very curious and looked in the kitchen of the military camp.


    This kind of food, which is very similar to bread, is not baked, but steamed in a large cage.


    HMM... just boil the water and steam the food with the heat.


    It is said that this "steaming" cooking method was invented by the guy in front of him, taught to the chef in the castle, and then spread out - I don''t know how this guy thought of this cooking method. And all kinds of food she hasn''t seen.


    "Yes, these foods are produced in the territory," Arthur explained while eating. "You know, there are not many people in the river area, so after the reform, food can be self-sufficient."


    Reform. Eugenie heard the word again.


    "Just abolish farms and new farming methods." Eugenie then asked, "can you grow more food? As far as I know, you just give more land to the original serfs. If you can harvest more food, you don''t need to abolish farms."


    "I know that!" replied pace, who chewed the steamed bread while waiting for Arthur''s answer. "Lord count told me that this can improve the enthusiasm of production. Farmers will work hard when they have hope!"


    Then he looked at Eugenie and added, "what I told you before, how can you forget so quickly."


    Eugene glared at her brother discontentedly, looked at Arthur, and then asked: "I know hope will make people forge ahead, including why you took back the fiefdoms of the vassals, probably to unite the scattered forces in the territory. But I don''t quite understand how you can promote education in the territory? In particular, you have specially built a school. Everyone has become a bachelor, which should be of no benefit."


    Pace was going to say, "with knowledge, people will become smarter", but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth and waited curiously for Arthur''s answer - bachelors are good, but if all civilians become as smart as bachelors, it should be very painful for the Lord.


    The implementation of education is, of course, to prepare for future reform and development. But Arthur is not prepared to answer that. This is too broad. Eugenie is a curious baby and her position is unclear.


    If he said so, the little girl would ask endless questions. Moreover, such an answer is not in line with his purpose of accompanying him.


    After a little thought, Arthur said, "what do you think of the soldiers of the first army? Tell me how you feel about your visit."


    Feeling? Eugenie smelled the speech, looked at the soldiers eating around, thought about what she saw today, and said seriously, "rules."


    "Rules?"


    "Well," she concluded, nodding, "In your words as like as two peas, we have seen discipline today. We went to the barracks and went to the library today. I found that everyone seemed to be very disciplined. The quilt should be stacked up and neat, the items should be put together, the speech would be called" report ", the order was answered," yes ", even the hair was shaved exactly, and everyone was there when they just took the meal. Line up. In short, these soldiers are very disciplined. They even walk with their chest up. I think so. "


    Speaking of this, Eugenie thought of her brother''s two guards. They used to be mercenaries. Later, although they became Knights of their kewilt family and restrained many mercenaries'' casual habits, she could see that they were only caused by the pride of mercenaries after they became knights.


    But today, he found that the two guys were much more serious. They always looked up and walked and talked in a proper way. She even felt a little funny.


    This should be influenced by the atmosphere here. Just like now, although there are two or three hundred people sitting in the restaurant, everyone also laughs and talks, but no one dares to make a noise.


    If two or three hundred mercenaries and knights sit here, they can have a party directly. The noise may directly overturn the roof!


    "Your observation is very good," said Arthur with a smile. "This is the meaning of education. Being able to read and write is only the most basic education. Can miss Eugenie understand?"


    "Don''t call me miss Eugenie." Eugenie replied discontentedly. Eugenie immediately asked, "but what''s the use for these soldiers? Can folding the quilt like bricks make them braver?"


    Hearing the speech, pace looked at Arthur curiously. In fact, they didn''t understand why Arthur made such rules.


    The little man beside pace even doubted whether Arthur was suffering from aristocratic disease. He heard that many aristocratic women like to put things neatly without any mistakes, or they will lose their temper.


    It''s just that the disease is too serious, extending from the castle to the barracks?


    Arthur "ha ha" smiled twice. He just praised the other party''s careful observation. He didn''t hear her immediately put forward such a question.


    "What are you laughing at?" Eugenie stared discontentedly, then bited down a large piece of steamed bread and chewed angrily at Arthur.


    From Arthur''s laughter, she heard the meaning of helplessness and tolerance. This made her feel as if she had asked a not clever question, like a naive little girl.


    Arthur smiled and explained: "Education is not just preaching, but also the cultivation of habits. For example, the bachelor and wet nurse teach us that our speech and behavior should be consistent with the identity of nobility. Folding the quilt like a brick is a part of sorting out the internal affairs. Although it can not directly make the soldiers brave, it can cultivate their quality. For example, strict military appearance, conscious and strict organization and discipline, and good observation , be good at summarizing, etc. at worst, it can also maintain the cleanliness and tidiness of the military camp. So, can you understand? "


    Pace thought for a while. Although he still didn''t understand it, he felt that Arthur was very reasonable and nodded subconsciously.


    Eugenie said, "but the wild people are dirty, smelly and have no discipline. They are not as brave and good at fighting!"


    "All of them are called ''wild people'', all of them are excluded by us. They still don''t have their own country for thousands of years. It is precisely because they lack organization, discipline and people like bachelors."


    Now, pace nodded his head more approvingly. Let alone the country, those wild people can''t even build decent houses.


    "Don''t you worry about unrest?" Eugenie still didn''t give up. "As long as people become smarter, they will have more ideas and be more difficult to manage. Just like now, pace won''t refute you."


    With that, she looked at pace with a convincing face beside her and scolded him as a fool in her heart.


    "Good question," said Arthur.


    This is also what Mr. Boye worried about at the beginning.


    "Therefore, the reform should be comprehensive. If I do not abolish the farms, but let them receive education, the smart serfs will be dissatisfied with the current situation. You are so smart, you should understand that knowledge is not the cause of unrest, but the contradiction stimulated."


    This time, not only pace but also Eugenie sat on her left, and her two guards subconsciously nodded - although they didn''t understand very well, they just thought Arthur was right - the conflict between the vassals was just because of the intolerable contradiction.


    Count Arthur is right!


    Eugenie couldn''t refute Arthur anymore. She didn''t understand it herself, but she didn''t want to be persuaded like this.
