If I let you farm, will you become the emperor of the empire?

The few witches don't have many things to do now and have a high degree of freedom. They wander around when they have nothing to do. Roman asked them to familiarize themselves with the environment.

Now the witches belong to the original manor.

"This girl is not simple." Monica looked at Nellie's back and marveled. Blue hair was a bit rare. She said, "Edith, what do you think?"

"You know, five silver coins is a lot." Edith replied: "I entrusted Nellie to ask, but I don't believe that Roman's salary will be lower than Nellie's!"

Monica glanced sideways at her, "I'm not asking about salary."

"Then what else can happen? We are not the two easy-to-fool girls like Guweier and Sanna. This guy Roman didn't even give them a penny and bullied the little witch, right? I can't stand it! It's too bullying People!”

"Yes, Edith is right!" Brenna agreed.

Forget about child labor.

Adult witches definitely cannot work without pay.

"Just pretend to be confused, I'm talking about her!"

"Come on, we're new here, so it's better to keep it under control. If her mind I read is found out, we might get a pay cut."

"Oh, that's it, that monster look is not something ordinary people can have - let's remember that the bloodline of Rage is also related to the ocean."

"It has faded a long time ago. How long has it been since the angry tide came ashore? Nellie is from the Sea Castle, so there is still some seafood in it. There are also warriors from the Sea Castle in His Highness the Conqueror's fleet. Shasta, what are they called? With..."

Shasta, who was passing by, said: "The Deep Sea People. They call themselves the gods of the deep sea, and they are the darlings of the ocean. His Highness the Conqueror went on an expedition, and all the elites of Sea Castle were sent out. In the end, they were all lost in the depths of the Hades Sea. No one came back alive, and so did Sea Castle. Since then, they have been cursed, and the Lord of the Sea Castle never ends well."

"You still know better."

Shasta said calmly: "The prophet often talks about this, but you never take it seriously."

"I'm going to blow you away with just one sentence, right? You only loved listening to grandma telling stories when you were a child. Instead of listening to those old stories, you should learn more spells..." Monica said, suddenly looking at Shasta intently. , sighed suddenly.

"Shasta, let's put it bluntly...you don't have any advantage anymore."

Shasta frowned and said, "What advantage?"

"Nellie can become your enemy."

Shasta's face became more and more confused.

"Stop playing riddles. Just tell the truth. That girl's appearance is not inferior to yours. You are better than others alone, but they are also smarter than you. At least you can't get those two silver coins. La, and she is younger than you. How can you suppress her arrogance when you compete for favor in the future? Besides, it’s not easy for the sisters to help you in this matter, right..."

Shasta finally understood and sneered twice: "You are boring!"

She said and left.

Edith looked at Monica innocently.

Monica didn't answer, and imitated Shasta and sneered twice: "You are boring!"

After that he left.

Edith felt bored and had to talk to herself: "Then don't blame me for not reminding you..."

…

Nellie came to see Roman with trepidation.

Roman has been in a great mood these past two days.

Five hundred times of drawing cards, the quality of the apostles of the tenth company was the highest for the first time, but not the same after that.

There are about forty three-star apostles.

There are also ten four-star apostles - six of them are witches, and the other four four-stars are nuns, mercenaries, priests, etc.

There are three five-star apostles - apart from Margaret and Shasta, the third five-star apostle is Dark Lucia.

Even so, Roman was satisfied.

The apostles who can use it quickly use it, and the apostles who can't use it just follow the crowd.

For example, if you are a three-star or four-star apostle who is a priest or a nun, people will not obey you, and there is nothing Roman can do. If you don't obey, then continue to work as a coolie.

Now he has a higher vision and confidence, and he no longer looks down on individual three or four stars.

In the past two days, the servants of the manor could often see the smile of the King of the River Valley.

When Roman saw Neli'er, he also took the transcript from her with a smile on his face.

"Oh, more than four hundred children have passed basic education?" Roman was a little surprised.

The so-called basic education, in his opinion, means completing the second grade of elementary school.

Being able to master a thousand words can be defined as excellent performance.

Even so, this still stumps them.

Being able to master so many words shows that they can read various commands on paper.

This means that when Roman wants to arrange certain tasks, he does not need to go in person or send someone to do it. It is enough to directly deliver the paper order and let the literate person understand and execute it.

Of course, the problem of insufficient understanding or insufficient implementation is still a difficult problem.

But this can be regarded as the first step in the administrative system.

Even if Roman used all the sapphires in his inventory, there would only be 500 people.

In the final analysis, social development must be driven by society itself.

Supernatural forces can only provide initial motivation.

When the scale increases, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of literate primary school students will graduate every year.

Note that it is every year!

If Roman wants to improve, hundreds of thousands of gold coins will be consumed every year, not counting recruitment resources.

"Neli'er, you've done a good job, so are you leaving now?" Roman asked.

Nellie relaxed completely, lowered her head and whispered: "If you allow it."

Roman thought for a moment: "You want to retake the sea fort, and the people there must be waiting for you to return..."

This is considered a political investment.

After the exiled government received a political investment, there were too many plots of successfully retaking the homeland.

But there were also cases where investors and investors broke up.

Roman didn't care about this risk.

Now Nellie's 82% relationship is not fake.

Of course, it can also be said that Nellie's relationship is extremely high because she can't live without him.

But even if she rebels in the future, he can give her two punches and then press her to the table.

If Nellie has a little brain, she will know how to choose.

The only question now is how much money he wants to give Nellie to start a business?

Last year, he promised a minimum of one infantry battalion, that is, 300 troops.

But this is not safe.

It's normal. The sea fort is a relatively powerful territory. Once the lord of the sea fort returns, the residents of the sea fort will definitely welcome him with food and drink.

But this is not a good thing for the neighbors of the sea fort.

For example, Lord Bai Yang and Earl Bailey, the two main forces that plundered the sea fort, the rest of the nobles probably followed suit.

They can accept a desolate and ownerless land. But they certainly can't accept a strong neighbor.

Everyone hopes that the neighbor is as weak as possible.

The wealth that the sea fort once accumulated was looted, and now the Lord of the Sea Fort wants to come back, what do they think? What to do?

There is definitely a possibility of losing with a force of 300 people, and the probability is very high.

Once they lose, the investment will be completely smashed into the sea.

Even if they can win, it will be a narrow victory.

Roman hates this kind of uncertainty the most.

If there is no chance of winning, it is best not to move.

If you want to move, then give them two punches!
