Live Streaming: Azeroth

Azeroth is a very magical world. Different countries and races may adopt different political systems.

Due to the background of the times, the mainstream political system in Azeroth is feudal monarchy, but there are also republics like night elves and goblins, and even some races with relatively backward civilizations still adopt the ancient slave system.

Sarlayan did not intend to come up with a system that did not fit the background of the times.

There is a saying that goes half a step ahead of the times is a genius, and one step ahead is a madman.

To put it a little vulgarly, if you take too big a step, you will tear yourself apart.

When it comes to reforming the system of Quel'Thalas, Sharlayan and the barrage are very cautious when discussing, for fear of making a mistake.

Examples of failures of reforms leading to national power decline are not uncommon in the barrage world, such as black reforms in South Africa, Peronist reforms in Argentina, democratic reforms in the Soviet Union, Wang Mang reforms in the Western Han Dynasty, and Wang Anshi’s reforms in the Northern Song Dynasty, etc.

It is easy for a person to bury his head forward to overlook some important details in some reform processes, and whether these details are properly handled will determine the ultimate success or failure.

Sharlayan and Kael'thas have a complete set of plans for the reform of Quel'Thalas.

It is impossible for a group to have only one voice, and forcibly suppressing different opinions will only lead to stronger backlash.

Therefore, Kael'thas had no intention of creating a monopoly on the Sunstrider royal family from the very beginning. He adopted Sharlayan's opinion and decided to introduce the concept of involution.

Of course, the high-ranking Quel'Thalas leaders who hold the power must control it well, otherwise the introversion will not only fail to promote the improvement of social productivity, but will plant endless troubles.

The old aristocratic forces that were too corrupt have been beheaded by Anasteria.

Among the aristocratic class left today, the military meritorious nobles who rose in the troll war occupy the main positions, and some enlightened old aristocrats who are biased towards the royal family or have always stood in a neutral position.

The latter's position has always been firm and stable, and it is unlikely to be involved in the involution.

It was a period of great change in the high elf society, and the nobles witnessed the demise of the once mighty old aristocrats, and it was inevitable that they would feel sad.

In order to prevent these nobles from doing stupid things driven by restlessness and restlessness, Kael'thas planned to find a clear target for them, and let the nobles vent their excess energy on this target.

This target is the civilian class that is bound to rise gradually.

The current political system of Quel'Thalas has lasted for more than 7,000 years. With the development of the times, it has long become outdated.

According to the barrage, the regime established by Dath'Rema is very similar to the ancient feudal dynasty in their country, and it is essentially a routine of "scholars governing the country".

In the country where the barrage is located, scholars like to say a word most - the king should not compete with the people for profit.

It sounds reasonable, but the "people" mentioned by these scholars are not the low-level civilians, but the gentry and aristocratic families who hold a lot of land and assets.

civilian? Mud-legged bastards are also qualified to be called people? Farm for me!

Since Quel'Thalas is rich in civil assets, the common people are not in such a miserable state, but it is only for them to have enough food and clothing.

The aristocrats firmly controlled the channels of advancement. Before Kael'thas appointed Ms. Alina as the Minister of Medicine to join the cabinet, Quel'Thalas had never had a precedent for a commoner to be an official, let alone such a A senior official who ascended to the sky in one step.

By the way, Kael'thas adopted Sharlayan's suggestion, and planned to change the name of the Silvermoon Council to the Cabinet in the near future. The status of the original councilors would not decline, but the name of a cabinet minister would be added.

No matter in any country, ordinary civilians will occupy the bulk of the population.

With such a large base, the probability of talents being born in the civilian class will be greater than that in the rare noble class. What these talents lack is the systematic knowledge learning like the descendants of the nobles.

In order to activate the vitality of the society, Kael'thas is going to open up the channels for civilians to be promoted to officials step by step. Educational reform is his first attempt.

The turmoil of Ms. Alina's entry into the cabinet has not yet subsided, and the new Minister of Education, Belovar Sarona, suddenly released heavy news.

Quel'Thalas is about to reform the education system in the country.

The Marquis of Sarona discussed with the Sun King intermittently for a week, and finally came up with a relatively mature education reform plan.

In the current Quel'Thalas, there is only one institution of higher learning, the Fatherin Academy of Magic, which can only train excellent arcanists. When Quel'Thalas needs to promote officials, it will give priority to selecting nobles and arcanists.

This is also the reason why the Arcanist can have such a high status in Quel'Thalas, because other professions simply have no way to rise.

Kael'thas intends to change this situation.

A flower blooming alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together makes the garden full of spring.

Sarona didn't intend to take the risk to achieve it in one step. He first opened a junior academy that was not likely to arouse the vigilance of nobles.

The Junior Academy is open to all the people of Quel'Thalas. Anyone can join as long as they sign up. They only need to pay a small amount of tuition each year for the normal operation of the academy.

The knowledge taught by junior colleges is relatively simple, but it covers a wide range. The purpose is to discover the areas where students are good at, and to select suitable talents for the subsequent establishment of various intermediate and advanced colleges.

As I said before, the people of Quel'Thalas are relatively well-off, but they can't find a way to the future, so they can only dream about life and death all day long.

Tuition fees for junior colleges are limited to what most commoners can afford.

Cooperating with Belovar's education reform, Kael'thas made a promise simultaneously.

Outstanding graduates of junior colleges will be promoted to intermediate or even advanced colleges, where they can learn more in-depth knowledge and techniques that are most suitable for them.

Once a student graduates from the Intermediate Academy, they are automatically eligible for candidacy for Quel'Thalasski-level officials.

Of course, Kael'thas' decision once again aroused strong opposition from the nobles and crazy support from the common people.

Now that Kael'thas is in power, no one at the highest decision-making level will stand up against his decision, and he has additionally won the support of a large number of civilians.

The nobles, whose power has shrunk significantly, failed to shake the decision of the royal family and the cabinet, and could only pinch their noses and acquiesce in anger.

Fortunately, what Kael'thas promised to the common people was only those low-level officials who did dirty work, and they still couldn't shake the foundation of noble privileges.

But the nobles were not all fools. At this point, they finally saw Kael'thas' intention to boil the frog in warm water.

Recently, nobles frequently visited Sarlayan's lord's office. They asked for Sarlayan's opinions on the sidelines.

Sharlayan and Kael'thas are reforming partners who wear a pair of trousers. Since the nobles put on a look that he is the only one to follow, he can just use the tiger skin as a banner.

"What are you worried about? In the past, when there was no civilian competition, Xungui could be reused by high-level officials?"

"Uh~ no, there are old nobles blocking it."

"That's it. Now that the old aristocrats are declining, no one will stop you from being promoted."

"As long as one's own ability is sufficient, His Majesty Kael'thas will give it to him, regardless of his family background."

"Isn't that good? Don't you want to rank seniority like the old nobles did when they came to power? Whoever has a good family background can get a better official position?"

"Or, you who come from a famous family and have a long history of education, don't have the confidence to handle those common people who have even received elementary education?"

The aggressive method is old-fashioned, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work well.

Besides, Sharlayan assured these nobles who were uneasy about the reform of Quel'Thalas that as long as they did not violate the law and discipline in private and followed the policies of Quel'Thalas, he promised to take these Xungui continued to make a fortune.

In terms of power, Sharlayan didn't dare to make promises casually, but he still dared to brag about making money.

With the opening of various colleges and massive enrollment, all walks of life in Quel'Thalas will enter a period of rapid development.

In this era, if Sharlayan, who has barrage guidance, can't find a way to make money, he can buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.

Just as Quel'Thalas was arguing about education reform, Sharlayan suddenly received a report from Onyxia from the Royal City of Lordaeron.

Putting down the letter in his hand, Sharlayan sighed with some deep eyes.

"As expected, it's you big bats with lingering ghosts again."
