Chapter 1,286 The Kingdom of Velva
,!
Royal Palace of King Huelva. Although the physiques and armors of the guards along the way were not as powerful as the guards of the Gwana Empire seen not long ago, and their strength may not be as good as others, their energy and spirit were not inferior at all.
A country's prospects can best be seen from whether it is vigorous or depressing, rather than listening to some people's boasting. And whether you see vigor or arrogance, there is actually a difference in temperament. If it's the latter, think about the origin of the idiom Yelang is arrogant.
Although he didn't go around the streets to see how the people in this kingdom were doing, Lin thought to himself that they shouldn't be far behind.
Follow Juan's footsteps and listen to his introduction about the Kingdom of Huelva. Hearing that he was familiar with all kinds of data, Lin couldn't help but joked: "You know so much about the affairs of the kingdom, do you have ideas for the next king?"
Lin had talked with this person about the situation at home in the past. It can be said that as long as the relationship with his mother is still there, he will honestly go back to being his Viscount Javier. There wouldn't be any unreasonable thoughts, he himself is not interested in the position of king; even the position of president of his teacher's branch, this person lacks interest.
Of course, the friendship must be good enough and able to withstand jokes, then Lin Ye dares to say these things. Otherwise, it will be regarded as sowing discord, and the boat of friendship will capsize easily.
However, someone's problem has indeed not touched Juan's bottom line. He explained with a smile: "Isn't this a college with a part-time dean? The college has expanded several times. In addition to recruiting qualified talents but without the resources to train them, it now also recruits students from outside the school, and has added many students." There are too few subjects. We need to find funds, and we need to put the students I teach to use. I’m afraid I know more about the kingdom’s affairs than the old man you’ll meet later.”
After Juan said this, he explained in depth the situation of the college he ran. Lin had a higher opinion of this friend he had made in his youth.
Thinking about the imperial court in my hometown's history, no matter how the system changed, the most important function was the Ministry of Personnel or similar institutions. The reason why the Ministry of Personnel is important is not because it is in charge of the promotion evaluation of all officials, so it is very important to the officialdom that needs to be cultivated; it is because the right talents must be sent to the right positions so that the state machine can maximize its performance. role.
To meet such requirements, in addition to understanding a person's abilities, one must also be very clear about the requirements for each position so that he can be appropriately qualified. Even in the evaluation, you need to know what is considered a good job and what is a poor job.
From the countries I have seen or the books I have read, there is no such administrative department that specializes in managing officials. This power was firmly in the hands of the emperor, king or lord. Moreover, the standards for employing people all depend on the mood of those in power. If you encounter a foolish king, the whole country will be in a mess.
However, the college run by Juan was not the kind of education that became increasingly disconnected from real life in terms of theory and philosophy. Instead, he still sticks to the habit of lost people and takes the practical route. Wherever there is a need for what kind of talents and what kind of knowledge is needed, we should cultivate such talents and teach such knowledge.
This type of education is a big step forward in Lost World. I don't know if this system can continue. The so-called "government will cease after people die" is not a sarcastic statement in this kind of society ruled by people.
During the chat, the three people came to the meeting place. King Jaen IV of the Kingdom of Huelva is sitting on the throne, and on another throne next to him is Queen Catherine, Juan's biological mother.
Except for these two people who had seats, everyone else was standing. Several princes and princesses stood on the left hand side of the king, and behind them on the right were the king's personal ministers.
The ministers of the kingdom stood on both sides of the lower head. The ones behind them didn't look like nobles, or they were of low status. It seems that they are just the entourage of the ministers. After all, the ministers present were all quite old, so it was helpful to have someone to attend to them in case they suddenly fell ill or something.
Originally, Lin thought that he was well-informed because he had experienced conversations with Duke Kawei and had talked freely with an emperor about bank-related matters. With such experience, it is not easy to deal with the king of a small country.
And this is indeed the case. The vision of the king of a small country in a remote area cannot be higher than that of the grand duke or emperor of the empire. The questions asked by Hahn IV were basically the same as those asked by the previous two.
So Lin has already thought about many issues before. All it takes is a change of stance to apply it to the Kingdom of Velva.
However, during the process, I made a very interesting discovery. When Lin was having a conversation, although he looked directly at the person asking the question, the environment detection magic on his body never relaxed for a moment. In other words, even if it was the situation behind him, Lin still knew clearly.
Many of the views he expressed actually had the effect of suppressing the nobility and benefiting ordinary people. This will also make many nobles dissatisfied, thinking that their privileges have been violated.
It's just that these dissatisfactions don't dare to be expressed in front of someone, and they only dare to show disdain when Lin and Juan's eyes are not on them. Especially the dislike of those princes, not only towards a certain magician who talked freely, but also towards their eldest half-brother.
However, no matter how dissatisfied these people are, they dare not express it directly. It seems that Juan's prestige is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Not all of the blood and bones in the hands of the Prince of Elements are blind robbers.
As for those who will never compromise on the privileges they deserve and are unwilling to leak any rights to ordinary people. Lin directly showed the example of crying on the forum and being struck by the goddess of gold coins for not following the rules for everyone to see.
Lin said in a calm voice: "My lords, of course I respect your opinions. But my respect is useless. In the end, whether we agree with the opening of the bank or not depends entirely on the wishes of Her Majesty the Goddess of Gold Coins. Her rules are over there. , I just conveyed and explained, if Her Majesty the Goddess does not agree, everyone's work will be in vain. Look at how many people insist on their opinions, but they are struck by lightning. Don't think that I fabricated these messages to scare people, the messages on the forum, If you have used it, you can verify it yourself. Besides, even if you don’t know how to use the magic, you still have some basic understanding. Has anyone seen a person who is not pious at all and ignores the commandments of the gods, can use advanced magic? ?”
The practice of divine arts can be called the most unreasonable system in the Lost World.
If a warrior wants to make progress, he must keep honing his martial arts; if a magician wants to make progress, he must keep studying and improving his magic knowledge.
However, the progress of a series of divine envoys such as monks, priests and bishops depends on prayer, pleasing the gods, and understanding of the concept of gods. Basically, there are only a handful of people who can do the last one, and they must be quite senior divine envoys. Most people who use divine magic rely on the first two methods to make the gods willing to bestow part of their power.
The more difficult or powerful the magic, the higher the level of faith and piety required of the user. As for how advanced one must be before one can use a certain magic, this is completely idealistic, and there is no data-based standard for reference. This is common sense in the lost world.
So when Lin brought up such an example, everyone had a feeling that what they were about to deal with was actually a god, not a 'person' in front of them.
In fact, you don’t need to ask for confirmation about the blood and tears mentioned on the forum, you already believe it in your heart. The gods of Lost Land are not things to be beaten and scolded.
If it's a secret sarcasm, forget it. If they were to be scolded by name, it wouldn't take ten breaths for a thunder to come down and kill the person, it would be considered that the belly of His Majesty in the sky is quite big.
Lin looked at the embarrassment of some die-hards, while the group headed by the king was in great spirits, but it was not easy to show disunity in front of outsiders. Lin therefore said: "Let me tell you, gentlemen, you don't need to worry so much. Why not build a bank according to the standards of the Goddess of Gold Coins and open it. Then you will have the opportunity to talk directly to Her Majesty the Goddess. Follow-up You can directly discuss with Her Majesty the Goddess how to change the construction of our bank."
The southwest peninsula of Midi is truly a recognized ‘wild’ zone. Someone asked Ke Yin if he had any manpower operating in the southwest peninsula. The answer, of course, is none.
As a result, even if people in the Southwest Peninsula were interested in a bank, they would not be able to build one. Because none of them have a way to communicate with the Goddess of Gold Coins.
Communicating with gods is not as simple as finding the worshiper of any god and then finding the god you want. It's not like relatives drop by to build relationships. You can’t find God without the right person.
And is there any demand for banks in the Southwest Peninsula? Don't forget, there is someone's legacy here, which is the mall that was born in conjunction with the forum. However, this mall system can only display pictures of products and place orders now. Moreover, confirming orders and other matters still requires manual labor. Especially the payment issue is still a manual operation.
Although the mall system relies on forums, which has brought a great leap forward to the business of Lost Land, it is still far inferior to the sales outlets on Earth that a certain time traveler has seen. Then there were a bunch of jackals, tigers and leopards all around, trying to pick peaches at every turn, so Lin never thought about upgrading this thing.
One of the funniest things is that although the programming language named P language has been made public, most people who learn it still have a little understanding of it. Without a founding magician, others would not have the ability to modify the underlying programs of existing forums and malls, or reinstall the mall programs in other regions.
This is why the mall, a function as convenient as the forum, has not spread from the Southwest Peninsula to other places. The forum can use blocks to separate different usage areas, but the mall can only reinstall the entire program in one area. Without someone's technical support, no one can play this thing at this stage.
Since the mall system is popular in the Southwest Peninsula, people who are already familiar with the dual-track operation of forums and malls will of course hope to have bank transfers to supplement the payment function.
This incentive to promote the bank project was also the reason why he agreed immediately when Juan invited Lin back to the Southwest Peninsula. There are shopping malls charging ahead. As long as the bank can be activated, it will surely open up all over the southwest peninsula with the force of setting fire to the prairie fire.
