The howling cold wind could not stop the citizens from going out to the streets. The air environment in Plan City has been getting worse and worse in the past two years.

The foggy weather makes people very uncomfortable, and there is a lot of dust.

However, people nowadays have not yet realized the dangers of air pollution. The benefits brought by industrial development are more important.

Many people even envy the fog in Plan City. This is the characteristic of the times and represents the symbol of civilization.

The nine years of the principality are coming to an end, and good news comes one after another.

The Griffin Kingdom is already dying. Although there are struggling old noble armies everywhere, they can no longer organize a large-scale counterattack.

Simon was very cruel and killed a river of blood.

Perhaps it was the awakening of long-lost memories, and there were many more condemning voices in the newspapers.

A lot of traditional nobles spent money on verbal battles in newspapers to condemn such atrocities, butchers, and executioners.

Citizens just watch the excitement, and most of them have a neutral attitude towards the nobles.

For regular mainstream media, this kind of verbal battle at most occupies some secondary news.

Today's main page headline is a photo of the colonial governor, Earl Jeffreys Jr., standing on the pedal of a car.

The black and white photo can hardly hide the high spirits of the governor, and the large field behind him has attracted the attention of many people.

The tenth year of the principality is coming, and the population boom has begun.

Children in their teens are already able to undertake certain labor.

There are teenagers everywhere on the streets, and some far-sighted families are already hoarding land and houses.

Of course, more people can't see that far, at most they envy the land policy of the colony.

Then we should discuss today's vegetable prices and discuss national affairs.

In Hadley University, students wearing thick woolen coats are even more energetic.

As the highest institution of learning in this era, as long as you can get in, you basically don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

If you can eat and wear warm clothes, you can naturally be more devoted to learning.

Therefore, the academic atmosphere is very strong, and the attention to national affairs is also extraordinary.

Now, a new intellectual property and confidentiality bill has been promulgated, which immediately triggered heated discussions.

"Academics should be free. It is wrong for the government to restrict the flow of knowledge. We should write to the Duke to suggest that the new law be abolished and protect intellectual freedom."

"No, no, no, I think academic achievements should be protected. Otherwise, everyone can steal the achievements of scholars. This is unfair?"

"What does the confidentiality law say?"

"Some industries and technologies need to be kept confidential. Otherwise, what if they are learned by foreigners?"

The students argued fiercely, but the atmosphere was still very good.

Although no one could convince anyone.

Finally, someone mentioned a big news.

"I heard that a new advanced institution is going to be established. Are any of you interested in taking a position?"

"I heard that it seems that several new industrial and mechanical institutions are being established. Professors from our college will go there to preside over the establishment of new institutions."

"Yes, the school is very crowded now. I am going to try it after graduation this year. Maybe I can get a teaching position directly."

"I have received an invitation letter from a confidentiality agency, so I won't join in the fun."

The students are full of longing. After graduating from college, everyone has a bright future.

They are all rare talents who have mastered advanced knowledge. Now the principality needs talents in all aspects, so they are quite popular.

Otherwise, there would be no new advanced institutions, and it is not because of the lack of talents.

No one noticed that several tourists wearing uniforms stopped outside and just left quietly.

There was a little snow in the sky, which did not affect outdoor activities, but added a bit of fun.

Derek strolled in the campus. He liked the environment here the most.

The new higher education institution plan was promoted by the whole country from top to bottom, and it was an internal demand.

With the improvement of the principality's institutions, there has been a fixed division of power in all aspects.

Unless Derek redistributes it, it is difficult for changes to occur in a short time.

A stable political structure, power also brings obligations, which is much less troublesome for Derek.

This country can already operate on its own without having to keep an eye on it all the time.

So Derek's free time gradually increased.

Simon was still chasing and killing the nobles of the Griffin Kingdom on the front line, and only Virut and Adrian who rushed back to the country were with him.

The three of them strolled in the campus, which was a different experience.

If it were ten years ago, who would have thought that today would come?

The world is changing too fast. Although some remote places still think they are in the period of the Three Kingdoms, the main areas of the southern continent have fallen into the hands of the Northern Principality.

A unified country has become a foregone conclusion, and everyone has seen the general trend.

The wheel of the times is rolling, and all those who go against the flow will be crushed.

"Duke, the tenth year of the Principality is a special year. When Simon is roughly finished, you can prepare to change the name of the country." Virut persuaded with a smile.

In fact, this kind of voice is heard every year. In the past few years, everyone was still shouting to change it to the Northern Kingdom, and the proposals every year could be piled up into a mountain.

If Derek hadn't pressed it and refused to agree, it would have been a big fuss.

But now it can't be suppressed. The monarch also has to take into account the name. Besides, it is too unreasonable to call it a principality after completing a great cause that has not been accomplished for thousands of years.

Derek understood, so he let it go this time: "It's not that I don't agree. Do you think it's time to do it all at once? Just call yourself an empire and save trouble."

If you said this five years ago, some people would think it was arrogant.

But now it is so reasonable.

Virut laughed. He didn't believe others, but did the Duke?

Maybe the Duke would have believed it five years ago?

Hearing the Duke's words, he felt that it was a natural thing.

"Then I will reveal some news to the newspaper tomorrow, so that everyone can have a good time in the New Year." Virut said with a smile.

"Whatever you want." Derek didn't care.

The few people chatted leisurely.

It was not until noon that they had a meal at school and then went their separate ways.

After all, they were not playboys anymore, and they all had a lot of things to deal with.

Virut got on the carriage, which was pulled by four dark war horses and was still moving steadily in the snow.

The temperature in the carriage was very high, and he even had to take off his clothes.

I accompanied the Duke today and got some good news unexpectedly.

"Northern Empire? I don't know how history books will write about me in the future." Virut laughed.

Although he is only in his early thirties, he has already achieved what most people cannot achieve in their lifetime.

If it weren't for a bunch of colleagues and the Duke in front of him, his life would be a miracle.

A baron heir, who can lead the family all the way, now controls the army of an empire, and is as glorious as the king in the past.

With his current status, as long as he is loyal, he can leave a huge political resource for the family.

Even if his descendants can live on their old capital, they can still live for hundreds of years, and there is not much left to pursue.
