Type-Moon: I, Mordred, am so filial.

The Knight King's ideals were full.

However, when the full ideals met the overly harsh reality, they were destined to be shattered.

In the end, only broken glass was left on the ground, which made future generations sigh.

"Therefore, we must first make this reality more substantial."

Looking at Altria's face, which had obviously turned dark, Mordred continued to suggest:

"For those farmers who work hard in the fields, they don't care how many victories you have won, how many enemies you have killed, and how much fame you have created."

"They don't even care who is ruling the country."

""Whether it's you, the previous tyrant Vortigern, or other kings - if you can't feed them, what difference does it make?"

Mordred said slowly.

At this moment, he completely tore off the glamorous appearance of the"king" and presented the bloody reality inside to Artoria.

This is the reality that Merlin has never told Artoria.

But at the same time, this is indeed the experience of governing the country summed up by generations of emperors in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, with their own personal experiences.

In the final analysis, there is only one sentence:

"Whoever can fill their stomachs, even if it is just to avoid starvation, they will recognize him as king."

"Do you think I'm right, father?"

Mordred asked seriously.

But Altria was silent.

She didn't want to admit that people's hearts were so cheap - but when Mordred put these cruel truths in front of her, she had to believe it. This time, Mordred was right.

"No, Father."

"I am always right."

Looking at Altria who had begun to admit her mistakes, Mordred said with a smile.

Altria was so proud of herself that she wanted to hang Mordred on the wall and whip him.

However, considering the dignity of the royal family, Altria finally suppressed this impulse.

"What about what you just did?"

"It's fine if you borrow the cow or the potatoes, they are yours originally, and I don't want to say anything more."

"But don't you think that your plan to reduce agricultural taxes across the country is a bit too much?"

"You know, most of those taxes are used for military rations!"

"You just said that food is very important - without that food, how can you expect those soldiers to fight me?"

""Knighthood?"

Altria asked sharply.

It can be seen that she is really smart - in such a short time, she has integrated the new theory proposed by Mordred.

She can even use this new theory as a guide to refute Mordred.

But unfortunately, in Mordred's eyes, his father is still too naive.

"Father, you must learn to use your brain to think about things, you know, use your brain"

"Instead of using the silly hair on top of your head"

"Do you think I can't consider what you can consider?"

Mordred said complacently.

But it made Altria's rationality break through the limit.

She decided to disregard the dignity of the royal family.

After this matter was over, she would tie Mordred to the city wall and beat him up.

However, before that——

""You should explain it clearly first."

Altria said expressionlessly, trying not to let Mordred see her inner thoughts, lest Mordred use this as a condition to threaten her.

She found that it was probably because she had been with Mordred for a long time.

She seemed to have learned bad habits.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side,

Mordred, who didn't know that Altria was no longer as pure as before, was talking loudly about his plan.

This was a complete plan.

Mordred named it [Self-rescue through Production]】

"Father, we must understand what kind of situation we are in."

"The mystery is fading, and for this island, the real end has come."

"Our kingdom has just experienced a decade-long turmoil... People's livelihood is in decline, and food reserves are almost zero."

"In this situation, if we don't do something, this country will really be doomed."

Mordred said seriously, which made Artoria nod frequently.

In fact, what Mordred said was exactly what Artoria was thinking.

She certainly wanted to do something for this country.

But how could it be so simple to solve this problem?

However——

"No, it's very simple, father."

Mordred raised his head, looked at Altria's surprised face, and said slowly:

"Survival is the instinct of all animals"

"If you put a lion in the grassland, it will never starve to death."

"The same is true for us humans."

"As long as it is for survival, as long as there is a glimmer of hope for survival. We will try every possible way to ensure that we can live as long as possible."

Life is strong.

In order to survive, a small seed can even push away the pressure of a stone and sprout and bloom.

And if we talk about the tenacity of life, it took millions of years to climb to the top of the food chain and climb to the position of"the most primate of all things". Humans are definitely not weaker than other species!

They will only be stronger!

"I reduced their agricultural taxes to relieve the pressure on their shoulders, so that they can do what they want to do without having to bear serious consequences even if they fail."

"I lent them cows and potatoes so that they could feel the support of our royal family. Even if this support is so insignificant, as long as it exists, they will know that our royal family stands with them."

"As for the food problem of those troops……"

Having said that, Mordred raised his head, glanced at Altria, and then continued:

"I have two strategies to keep the army safe."

"Which two?"

"One of them is called Tuntian"

"This is a long-term strategy. As long as it is properly managed, it will not only make the army self-sufficient, but also produce surplus food to feed the national treasury."

"What about the other one?"

"I heard there is a country across the sea called France."

"The lords there are all quite rich, and the village girls are also quite pretty."

"Let’s go grab theirs!"

"……"
