In the Duchy of Thunder, the movement of naming commoners first started in the Keene Territory. After the new baron, Louis Keene, took over the scepter from his mother, Anna Keene, his first decree was to fully implement the naming of commoners.
This was, of course, a benefit that Anna deliberately left for her son. With her prestige, she could have done this with the Republic of Northwest long ago. But she had to wait for more than a year. She repeatedly hinted but never implemented it, leaving the subjects in suspense.
In the end, she left this matter to her son so that he could win the favor and support of the subjects as soon as he took office.
In fact, this was also what Crick had taught her. At that time, Crick knew that he did not have much time left, so he taught her everything he knew about governing a country and conspiracies. He even wrote a textbook for her.
Now, the textbook was naturally passed on to Louis. Although Anna had taught him almost everything in it, the value of the textbook itself was the most important. Back then, Crick sent a letter to Anna, and now Anna sent a letter to Louis. This was obviously the secret inheritance of the Keene Family.
While the subjects were cheering for the order of naming commoners, Louis was sitting in the study of the Lord's Mansion, reading a book.
He was reading the "Guide to the Keene Family's Government Affairs" left by Crick.
Although he had heard and learned most of the things in this book from his mother, reading a book written by his uncle gave him a different feeling.
It was like the same sentence, "You have to study hard." Many people would only think that their parents were long-winded, but if it was said by their idol, they would most likely be encouraged.
The same sentence, said by different people, had completely different effects.
Another example, there was a famous saying in China's diplomacy, "Don't say that you didn't warn." If this was said by a military expert, it would be nothing. But if it was said on the front page of the People's Daily … it would really be earth-shattering.
Because in the past years, every time this was mentioned on the front page of the People's Daily, it would be followed by a war.
Louis read very carefully and nodded thoughtfully from time to time.
"Well … thinking about it, it does make sense! I thought too simply in the past. "
"Ah! Mother never told me about this before! I didn't know it could be like this … "
"This is not a bad idea. I can give it a try. I won't lose anything anyway …"
Not far behind him, the invisible Sui Xiong stared at him and smiled.
(Louis seems to be better and more reliable than I expected. I came all the way here to support him or something … It seems like I wasted my efforts.)
He had no intention of showing his divinity in front of the crowd and left directly.
However, he was not in a hurry to return. Instead, he went to Viscount Samat's territory.
The former Rogue Wey Shak, who was now Viscount Thun Sammat, was discussing the education of his eldest son with his subordinates.
"Sir, you're thinking too far ahead …" The advisor mage of the territory, who was almost his chief advisor, said with a bitter smile, "Gongzi is only seven months old, and you're already thinking whether it's better to let him learn spells or martial arts? Isn't it a little early? "
"I remember there's a saying that the reason why the nobles are stronger than the commoners is because the nobles' children have won at the starting line." Wey Shak had already completely adapted to his new identity. The way he talked and acted was exactly the same as Thun Sammat in the past.
In other words, the people in Viscount Sammat's territory had completely adapted to the difference between him and Thun Sammat, and had completely regarded him as the real Thun Sammat. Now, even if the unlucky Thun came back, they would only feel that the Viscount's style had suddenly changed, which made them very uncomfortable.
Wey Shak's eldest son was naturally born to the Viscount's wife. Unlike Thun, he was much more serious when it came to relationships between men and women. After settling down in his seat, he dismissed the "maids" who were used to seek pleasure in Thun. Then, he officially arranged his marriage to the daughter of a nearby count.
The countess was not beautiful, but she was quite honest. She had a good upbringing. Although she did not have any special talent, she had learned some medical knowledge. Ever since the God of Medicine, Arcaine Pasteur, promoted medical education, many children of nobles who lacked talent would choose to study medicine. First, one could never have too many doctors, and second, knowing medical skills could also avoid a lot of trouble.
The most direct benefit was that it was not easy to poison a person who studied medicine.
The countess's medical skills were not brilliant, but it was better than nothing. At least, she knew how to treat common headaches and fevers. She could also identify twenty to thirty common medicinal herbs, and had a lot of knowledge about health and hygiene. All of this added up was enough to support a noble family.
In any case, no one wanted to poison Thun Sammat.
The Lord of Thunder was getting older, and his energy was getting weaker and weaker. His eldest son currently had an absolute advantage in the fight for succession, and his second son had almost been pushed to the edge. If there were no accidents, when the Lord of Thunder passed away in a few years, the eldest son would most likely take his place.
Thun Sammat was originally the second son's best friend, but Wey Shak was not. After he became Viscount Sammat, he had always paid attention to befriending the future Lord of Thunder, and at the same time deliberately keeping a distance from his former boss, who had been banished to the cold palace.
This kind of thing was a bit shameless, but it was not that rare in the world of nobles. On the contrary, many people thought, "Oh, Sammat, this stubborn donkey, has finally learned to use his brain. I can communicate with him now."
Because of this, the relationship between Viscount Sammat and the surrounding territories had been good in the past two years. Wey Shak was a kind and easy-going person, and he had no intention of haggling over small gains.
In his view, as long as he could steadily sit on the position of Viscount until he died, and then safely pass it on to his children, he would have completed his historical mission. As for the rest of the things, it would be good if he could do it, but it did not matter if he could not.
So when Sui appeared in front of him and asked him, "How have you been these years?", he could not help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, in addition to being grateful.
His Majesty Void Mask had not appeared since he helped him become a Viscount. Now that he suddenly appeared and was so polite, it was a little worrying.
Could it be that … the great Void Mask suddenly encountered some difficulties, or perhaps he thought of something important and had a task for him to complete?
