Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Every harvest time, Bruno's figure will appear in the fields on time to show that he attaches great importance to every harvest.

Of course, as a Duke, he cannot do everything personally.

After showing his face in front of the public, he would take Mondale and others away in a car.

And the conversation with Will Roach was just a small episode.

Compared to talking with Will Roach about the teachings of the God of Light, Bruno preferred to walk in the direction of Idar Public University.

The construction of Idar Public University has always affected Bruno's mind. Almost every few days, when he has nothing to do, he will go to the construction site on the south bank of the Idar River in person to take a look at the construction of Idar Public University. Construction progress.

After all...this custom wonder, which includes the [Bibliotheca Alexandrina] and [Oxford University], is Bruno's first attempt to break through the level restrictions of [SSS]-level wonders in an attempt to achieve a higher wonder rating.

The first phase of the Idar Public University construction plan alone covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 acres, which is no different from most small towns in this era.

Since Master Andy has been sent by Bruno to build the Venetian Armory,... this architectural wonder located on the south bank of the Idar River has naturally become a favorite among the great engineers from the Kingdom of Basel.

But even though these great engineers recommended themselves time and time again, and were even willing to pay from their own pockets, Bruno was still a principled person after all.

Therefore, under Bruno's suggestion, the great engineers jointly established the Architectural Committee of Idar Public University.

The committee, with White Barrell from Idar as its president and many Basel engineers as members, jointly made suggestions for the construction of the Idar Public University and supervised the construction quality and construction process of the university.

As if to prove that his strength is not inferior to others, even Bruno, as a time traveler, can't help but marvel at the fantastic ideas of these great engineers.

after all……

A building of this scale will surely stand on this land for hundreds of years and become a prestigious architectural wonder.

And as builders, how could the great engineers not do their best?

This is a precious opportunity for them to become famous for generations to come!

Everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high. When Bruno came to the construction site again, the Library of Alexandria, which was relatively easy to build, had already begun to take shape.

In the plan of the great engineers, Idar Public University was divided into two parts: the east and the west.

The East District is a living and commercial area with the Alexandria Library as the core. In the eastern area of ​​Idar Public University, the city and the university are integrated. There are not only future student dormitories and classrooms, but also a large number of shops and residential buildings.

The western part of the university is dominated by the University of Oxford, which concentrates the most important scientific research facilities and college institutions of the Idar Public University. It will undoubtedly become a gathering place for all kinds of talents in the Principality of Idar, with a stronger academic atmosphere.

Bruno had already seen the design plan of Idar Public University submitted by the great engineers.

According to the ideas of great engineers, magnificent, elegant and distinctive architectural styles will appear in every corner of Idar University.

but,

It wasn't until Bruno saw the vast construction site with his own eyes and the countless workers busy on the construction site that he could experience a more profound touch.

The building area of ​​Idar Public University is far from comparable to any previous wonders. Bruno has not seen a construction site of this scale for a long time since he came to this world.

If it weren't for the wood and stones imprinted with the suspended magic circle, which were floating to higher places according to the established trajectory, for a moment, Bruno even thought that he had returned to the earth he once was.

Bruno has always had very high expectations for the Idar Public University in front of him.

And achieving a higher spectacle rating as much as possible is just one of Bruno's goals.

In addition, he also hopes that this first university in another world built on the land of Idar Principality can become a well-known academic holy place on the continent!

only……

The wonder rating can be achieved by just throwing money at the spectacle.

However... it is far from easy to achieve this goal of becoming a "well-known academic holy place" in this era.

Not to mention the cultural level of prenatal education per capita in this era, even if the Idar Principality directly taps ready-made "talents" from other noble territories, it is not an easy task.

This is not because other nobles refuse to let people go, but because... these "talents" in Bruno's eyes may be just an extremely inconspicuous marginal figure among the "army" of refugees.

They may have fled in various directions due to the war, or they may even have died of hunger and injuries in an unknown corner.

Therefore, in order for Idar Public University to operate smoothly after its completion, during this period, the Idar Immigration Administration and the Idar Central Intelligence Agency were almost so busy that they exploded!

Admittedly,

Under the rule of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, this land in the eastern part of the empire gradually showed prosperity and fertility far beyond those in the interior.

However, the new principality regime of Idar Principality still lacks a lot of foundation.

The heritage here does not refer to wealth or the reputation accumulated by the family for generations, but the talents that Bruno values ​​most.

When it comes to the division of talents in the Principality of Idar, there is no boundary between civilians and nobles.

In Bruno's eyes, there are only two types of talents that the Principality of Idar is in short supply. One is the mages who join the Idar school, and the other is ordinary people who are proficient in all walks of life.

Nowadays, thanks to the wonders of the Great Lighthouse, almost every month several mages are attracted by the "Light of Enlightenment" emitted by the Great Lighthouse and come to the Principality of Idar to devote themselves to the practice of magic circles and magic technology. Under research.

Therefore...those low-level people who are proficient in all walks of life have become the most in-demand talents in the Principality of Idar today.

Although the nobles in the interior of the empire are becoming more and more harsh on ordinary people, the war situation and social environment in the interior of the empire are also further deteriorating.

But those refugees who were able to hear about the existence of the Idar Principality, cross thousands of mountains and rivers all the way east, and finally come to this land alive, were only a minority after all.

This also forced the agents of the Idar CIA to once again repeat the activities they had carried out in the northern frontier of the empire.

Countless agents from the Principality of Idar were among the people in trouble. They tried their best to search for talents who were proficient in various skills in the interior of the empire.

Once discovered, these talents will be gathered at the designated location by the agents of the Idar CIA, and then the commissioners dispatched by the Idar Immigration Administration will be responsible for docking. In short...

Bruno's request was very clear, which was to take advantage of the war to recruit elites from all walks of life and use them to expand the talent pool of the Principality of Idar.

not to mention……

The so-called "talent" is just an evaluation given by the Principality of Idar.

In the interior of the empire, the nobles' attitude towards them was no different from that of the rest of the lower class people. Even these craftsmen themselves never considered themselves talents.

Therefore, these people were naturally overjoyed at the invitation of the Idar Principality, and fled in the direction of the Idar Principality with their families.

"The craftsmen's living areas should be almost complete, right?"

Bruno asked Mondale aside while walking on the construction site.

Although Idar Public University is still in the orderly construction stage, many craftsmen from the interior of the empire have already arrived on this land.

"Your Majesty, the residences of those craftsmen are just to the west of the construction site. According to your request, they are all newly built wooden houses, which are enough to protect them from wind and rain!"

Hearing this, Mondale quickly replied.

He didn't know why his Duke cared so much about these low-level civilians, but Mondale still faithfully carried out Bruno's orders.

after all……

The Duke's instructions may make people a little confused at first, but time will always prove the deep meaning behind Bruno's various actions.

"Let's go and take a look." Bruno ordered.

A temporary settlement for craftsmen from the interior of the empire is located near the Idar Public University.

A large number of low wooden houses are lined up in rows, densely packed together. In the previous life, this would have been a proper slum.

But... in fact, these houses that Bruno ordered to build temporarily not long ago, although they look a bit crude, have already made the craftsmen who came from afar very happy.

At least……

It provides those displaced craftsmen with a shelter from wind and rain, and they no longer have to worry about their future livelihood for the time being.

After all, the craftsmen's residences are only temporary structures, and the ground nearby has not been hardened. The mud and puddles left after the last heavy rain can still be seen everywhere.

When Bruno came here, it was probably the time for the craftsmen to have dinner.

The cooks of the Principality of Idar prepared enough large pots of food for these craftsmen who came from afar. Although it may not be very delicious, it can be said to be more than enough to fill the stomach.

"That guy...is O'Connor, right?"

Bruno noticed the figure not far away and asked.

Mundell took a closer look:

"Yes! That is indeed Isaac O'Connor, your lord."

As a craftsman who has lived in the interior of the empire for generations, Isaac O'Connor has actually given up hope for his life.

The chaos caused by the war tore his family apart.

The eldest son was forcibly taken away by the local nobles and dragged away to fight, but there was no news from him and his whereabouts disappeared.

The younger son has been ill for a long time and is extremely weak, and has never improved at all.

If it hadn't been for Agent Idar who came to this land in the eastern part of the empire and allowed his youngest son to be treated by Dr. Idar, O'Connor's last remaining relative might have been gone. many.

O'Connor didn't understand why he was regarded as a "talent" by this noble man far away in the east of the empire, but his idea was very simple. Since the Duke of Idar had saved his life from the brink of collapse, he would do his best to Work for the noble lord.

The improved furrow plow now commonly used by farmers in the Principality of Idar when harvesting potatoes was created by O'Connor.

The craftsmen of this generation are not a group of simple-minded guys with well-developed limbs. The reason why their technical level is extremely backward is more due to the shackles that restrict their thinking and backward production relations.

Let me ask you, when a person is oppressed and bullied by conservatives, and even his own daily life cannot be guaranteed, how can he have the time and energy to think about other things?

Moreover, in other places, even the existence of furrow plows is of no use at all, because farmers simply cannot afford oxen.

But in the Principality of Idar, the ruler of this land will provide the farmers with the tools they need to work cattle and harvest food free of charge, and this... also provides the most basic social soil for the emergence of the furrow plow.

Therefore, when Bruno proposed the idea of ​​an improved furrow plow and asked the craftsmen to put it into practice, O'Connor and the other craftsmen turned this idea into a reality in a very short period of time.

"Your Majesty the Duke!"

When he saw Bruno looking around and swaying towards him, O'Connor couldn't help but feel something in his heart.

"Your improved furrow plow has done well, and the farmers of Idar Principality have benefited a lot."

"This is what a villain should do, not to mention... the Duke has given me and my family so much reward..."

Hearing this, O'Connor seemed particularly excited.

Bruno set the rules a long time ago. Once the craftsmen have any good inventions, they can get bonuses and honors from Duke Idar.

Although for Bruno, this bonus is just a drop in the bucket, for the craftsmen, this is a windfall!

"As long as you serve the Stuart family with all your heart, I will definitely not treat you craftsmen badly."

Bruno said confidently.

The development of the Principality of Idar relies on the improvement of magic technology and the popularization of magic in life, but not all machines and tools need to be driven by magic.

In Bruno's view, UU read a book www.uukanshu. net The progress and development of the Principality of Idar is not just the responsibility of mages. Ordinary craftsmen and talents from all walks of life are also indispensable assistance.

After all, there are only a few all-round mages like Anel and Wright. For the entire mage group, the research of magic circles and the optimization of lines are already the ultimate that mages can achieve.

The manufacturing and production of large-scale machinery cannot only be accomplished by a few mages. What the mages can do is to design magic transmission routes and upgrade ordinary machinery into magic machinery.

But the most basic parts, such as the principles of mechanical operation, precision control, mechanical upgrades and product updates... these are not something that mages can easily solve with their innate magical talents.

Only by putting aside the pride of being a mage and the disdain for ordinary people, and learning to cooperate with craftsmen who understand the principles of mechanical operation, can the magic industrialization of the Principality of Idar truly take off.

O'Connor and the craftsmen present are the talents urgently needed to promote the development of magic industrialization in the Principality of Idar.
