The cold winter is over.

Another season cycle is complete.

The snow melts and spring is here again.

The small Yadud Kingdom has undergone tremendous changes in all aspects.

Especially after Queen Xivenis came to the throne, all classes were not disappointed. The nobles gained more rights to participate in the governance of the kingdom. The vigorous promotion of mercantilism policies allowed them to devote themselves to industry and agriculture one after another, earning endless profits.

Some became textile kings, some became steel kings, and some became transportation kings.

Some became oil kings (Leylin family).

As for the royal family, he is the magic potion king.

And now, whether it is the royal family or various nobles, the focus is no longer on fighting for power or internal fighting, but on setting up large factories, focusing on making a fortune and earning hundreds of millions.

In addition, each family has shares and deposits in Dillo Bank, and after the establishment of the stock market trading institution, in terms of some major interests, the nobles are no longer a zero-sum game, life and death, but have become one among you and each other's shareholding. .

In this way, the conflicts among the upper echelons of the kingdom turned into a civilized money game. Coupled with the protection of private property and the restrictions on royal power under the Constitution, the current upper echelons of the kingdom can be described in two words:

Stablize.

Very stable.

The interests of the middle and lower classes in the kingdom have also been taken care of to a certain extent thanks to the Queen's efforts. For example, the "Labor Protection Law", "Employment Law", "Abolition of Slavery Law" and other laws have been passed one after another, which has guaranteed from a legal level The interests of workers at the bottom are to prevent their living conditions from sliding into the abyss of hell.

Of course, there must be some nobles who are not willing to improve the treatment of workers. Faced with these laws, they are not willing to vote in favor.

Zhou Ming gave them several arithmetic problems.

"I would like to ask you, does a worker who works 14 hours a day but can only live in the factory for 10 years create more value? Or does a worker who works 10 hours a day but can work for 20 years create more value?"

"Furthermore, the products produced in the factory need to be sold. These massive products cannot be sold only to the aristocrats. The aristocrats only account for 5% of the total population. Foreign exports may be restricted by other countries. If you don't want products to pile up in warehouses and become unsalable, Improving the treatment of workers so that they have money to spend; reducing their working hours so that they have time to spend is what must be done to promote a virtuous cycle!"

"I hope you remember: We not only need workers to be our producers, but also need them to be our consumers. Only when goods enter a rapid cycle of production-consumption-reproduction can your factories keep running. Go down."

After all, it is impossible for the nobles, who constitute an absolute minority, to consume such a large amount of goods.

Except for a few nobles who ignored Zhou Ming's theory, most of them nodded, accepted his point of view, and voted in favor.

In this way, the income of the middle and lower class people has also increased, their lives have become better, and they have begun to praise the Queen even more.

A capitalist kingdom with a relatively benign development path designed by Zhou Ming was established in this way.

In addition, in terms of the kingdom's high-end military force, Zhou Ming also used several big moves that shocked many kingdoms.

For example, Brno Magic School actually offers free tuition for students entering the school.

Not only are tuition fees free, students with excellent studies are also provided with living allowances, pharmacy subsidies, scholarship subsidies, etc... Various subsidies are very attractive.

In addition, a library with more than 30,000 volumes of magic books was built.

In short, with the efforts of Zhou Ming and old fox Roberts, the Brno Magic School now has more than 800 students, which is five or six times larger than before, and many outstanding mages have emerged.

I believe that in a few years, the Yadud Kingdom will become a magical power.

As for the previous agreement between Zhou Ming and Old Fox to "help the school train 10 junior pharmacists", it has long been exceeded. Now the Brno Magic School not only has more than 30 junior and intermediate pharmacists, but also the school's pharmacy major. It has trained hundreds of professional talents. Although these talents may not be able to independently prepare pharmaceuticals, after they enter the pharmaceutical production factory, the pharmaceutical preparation efficiency of the pharmaceutical production plant continues to improve, and the cost continues to decrease.

This is exactly what Zhou Ming expected. Industrialized preparation of magic potions is the future development direction.

All in all, everything is moving in a good direction.

Zhou Ming could also free up his hands and feet to prepare for his plan to travel around the continent.

First of all, his first stop is to go to the Magic City at the corner of the East China Sea.

Prepare to learn some magic knowledge in the Magic City, improve your plane resolution, and find out how far the most advanced magic technology in the Magic City, which represents the highest level of magic technology, has developed?

The Kingdom of Yadud is not particularly far from the Magic City, about 60 million kilometers in a straight line.

Zhou Ming controls his "Fire No. 1" aircraft (which uses a more powerful Fire Demon engine and is faster), at three times the speed of sound at high altitude, for about one year (three years) (plus rest time), You can reach the Magic City.

Stay in the Magic City for another one to two years, and then if you consider going home... it will take about 4 years in total.

This is equivalent to 12 years old.

In other words, it would take more than ten years (years on earth) for Zhou Ming to go out and have a little adventure.

When Zhou Ming told his wife Xivinis this plan.

The other party was silent.

She was silent for a while, silently feeding her daughter in her arms with breast milk.

When Zhou Ming said that after the Spring Festival, in January of the summer, he would get ready and set off.

Xiverness finally spoke.

"Go ahead."

"You can go alone and be happy. My daughter and I will have a good time."

"Come back as soon as possible."

"If you can't come back, never come back."

Zhou Ming clearly heard a trace of anger in the woman's last words.

After all, as long as she is a normal woman, she will feel a little emotional after hearing that her beloved husband is going to run away for at least ten years.

Xivenis understood her husband's thoughts and knew his future plans before getting married... She was not unprepared.

But when this moment really comes.

She still couldn't accept it.

She really wanted to go with her husband, but after she became queen, her plan came to nothing, and like a normal woman, she didn't want him to be away for too long.

Zhou Ming could only comfort him.

Make amends in various ways.

However, the more he made up for it and the gentler he was to her, the less she wanted him to leave.

Xivenis even said that she did not want to be the queen and took her daughter with him.

Zhou Ming felt a headache and often patted his head: "Why can't I always harden my heart?"

When Teacher Sayles learned of his troubles, Zhou Ming's two words made Zhou Ming feel even more stupid and stupid.

"Why do we have to fly so far in Agni 1?"

"Don't the Waitrose Empire have a teleportation array that leads directly to the Magic City?"

"As soon as we arrive at the Waitrose Empire, doesn't it mean that we are about to arrive at the Magic City?"

After hearing this, Zhou Ming banged his head.

"Teleportation array, yes teleportation array!"

"How could I forget such a crucial thing?"

"There is a space teleportation array available, so why should I fly around for two years?"

Zhou Ming felt that the multiple dungeon experiences made him stupid, and he actually ignored the feature of the Azeroa plane...the space teleportation array.

What a fatal mistake is this?

As for the Waitrose Empire, it is only 300,000 miles away from the Yadud Kingdom. It only takes two days for Agni No. 1 to fly there, and then it takes two years to reach the Magic City through the space teleportation array.

Tell Xivenis about this situation again.

The other party rolled his eyes hard at him: "You always thought you were the smartest person in the world, but now you seem to be a fool."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I am a stupid fool!"

Zhou Ming smiled self-deprecatingly. When he looked at Xivinis' plump figure and angelic face after giving birth, he suddenly felt a little thirsty.

He couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty the Queen, why not... let's have another one."

"Hmph, you damn ghost."

Xivinis's pretty eyes were filled with water, and her slender arms framed his neck... She hadn't talked to this damn ghost for more than half a month, and she wanted to do it a little bit.

After a spring night.

Zhou Ming basically solved Xivenis' ideological work.

As short as one year or as long as three years (years old), he must go home.

If it’s more than five years (years old), he’ll just wait and see!

Zhou Ming said that it was no problem. Since the space teleportation array was there anyway, he could go home every once in a while to see his wife and children. For him, this was really not a big problem.

…

After another four or five months of preparation.

Summer is on January 10th.

Pill Bottle Castle.

In front of a sci-fi-looking airplane.

He hugged his wife, who was still three months pregnant, for a while, and kissed her one-year-old daughter Alice on the cheek, who was in the arms of the guard Nabe. At the moment of departure, Finally arrived.

"Be sure to come back early." Xivenis repeatedly warned.

"If you don't come back for more than five years, I will definitely kill you!" Guard Nabe glared at him and warned him fiercely.

Zhou Ming nodded.

I boarded the "Agni No. 1" with the hatch cover open and sat in the first driver's seat.

Teacher Sayles sat in the middle.

Student Henry sat in the last row.

There is a total of three adventurers.

After the hatch was closed, two wind magic "Levitation Techniques" made the plane rise to an altitude of 100 meters, and slowly turned the nose of the plane towards the south.

"Boom~boom~!"

The two fire demon engines at the tail sprayed out two red flames, and the powerful thrust pushed the plane to accelerate towards the Waitrose Empire in the south!
