In the Principality of Thunder, the civilian surname movement first started in the Keen Territory. After the new Baron Louis Keane took over the scepter from his mother Anna Keane, his first decree was to fully implement civilian surnames.
This was naturally a benefit that Anna deliberately left to her son. With her prestige, she would have been able to do this with the Northwest Republic. But she had to wait for more than a year. She hinted many times, but never implemented it, which whetted the appetite of the people.
In the end, she left this matter to her son, so that he could win the love and support of the people as soon as he came to power.
In fact, this is what Crick taught her back then. At the beginning, Crick knew that he did not have much time left, so he gave her a lot of cramming teaching. He taught his sister all the ways of governing the country and conspiracy methods that he knew. He also specially compiled a book. Textbook.
Now the textbook has naturally been passed on to Louis. Although Anna has actually taught him almost everything in it, its own value is the most important. Back then, Creek passed a letter to Anna, and now Anna passes a letter to Louis, which is like a secret inheritance of the Keen family.
While the people of the lord were cheering for the order for civilians to take surnames, Louis was sitting in the study of the lord's house reading a book.
What he was reading was the "Keene Family Government Guide" left behind by Crick.
Although he had already heard and learned most of the things in this book from his mother, he always felt different when reading a book written by his uncle's father.
This is like the same sentence "You have to study hard". When it is said by their parents, many people will only think that they are verbose, but if it is said by their idols, then most of them will be inspired.
The same sentence spoken by different people has completely different effects.
To give another example, there is a famous saying in Chinese diplomacy, which is "Don't say you didn't predict what you said." If this was said from the mouth of a military expert, it would actually be nothing, but if it were said from the front page headline of the People's Daily... it would really shake the earth.
Because in the past years, every time the People's Daily said this on the front page, a war would follow.
Lewis looked attentively and nodded thoughtfully from time to time.
"Well... if you think about it carefully, this is indeed true! I thought too simply before."
"Ah! My mother has never told me about this before! It turns out that it can still be like this..."
"This is good, I can try it, there is nothing to lose anyway..."
Not far behind him, the invisible Sui Xiong looked at him and smiled slightly.
(It seems that Louis is better and more reliable than I expected. I came here specially to support him... It seems that my efforts were in vain.)
He had no intention of showing his holiness in front of others and simply left.
However, he was not in a hurry to go back, but went to the Viscounty of Sammat.
The former wanderer Wei Shake, now Viscount Thun Samat, is discussing the education of his eldest son with his subordinates.
"Sir, you are thinking too far..." The territory's consultant mage, who is almost his chief staff member, said with a wry smile, "The young master is only seven months old, so you are thinking about whether it is better to teach him spells or to teach him... Are you good at martial arts? Isn't it too early?"
"I remember there is a saying that the reason why nobles are better than common people is that the noble children win at the starting line." Wei Shake has already fully adapted to his new identity, and his words and actions are just like Thun Samat back then. Generally the same.
In other words, the people in the Viscounty of Samat have completely adapted to the difference between him and Thun Samat, and have completely regarded him as the real Thun Samat. Now even if the unfortunate guy from Thun comes back, they will only find the Viscount's sudden change in his speaking and doing style very uncomfortable.
Wei Shake's eldest son was naturally born to the Viscountess. He was not a pervert like Thun. He was much more serious about matters between men and women. After sitting firmly in his seat, he first dismissed the "maids" that Thun used for pleasure, and then officially made a marriage arrangement with the daughter of a nearby earl.
The countess was not pretty, but she was quite honest. She had a good tutor, and although she didn't have any special talent, she did learn some knowledge about medicine. Since the god of medicine Arcane Pasteur promoted physician education, many aristocratic children who lacked talent would choose to study medicine. On the one hand, there are never too many doctors, and on the other hand, knowing medical skills can avoid a lot of trouble.
The most direct benefit is that it is not easy to poison a medical student.
The countess' medical skills are not great, but they are still better than nothing. At least she knew how to treat common headaches and fever. I can also identify twenty or thirty common medicinal materials, and I also know a lot of health knowledge. Together, these are enough to support a noble family.
Anyway... no one wanted to poison Thun Samat.
Grand Duke Thunder is getting older and less energetic. His eldest son currently has an absolute advantage in the succession battle, and his second son has almost been pushed to the edge. If nothing unexpected happens, when the Grand Duke dies in a few years, the person sitting in his seat will probably be the eldest son.
Thun Samat was originally the best friend of the second son, but Wei Xia Ke was not. After he became Viscount Samat, he always paid attention to making good friends with the future Grand Duke. At the same time, he deliberately made friends with his predecessor who had been relegated to the cold palace. The boss keeps his distance.
This kind of thing is a bit shameless to say, but it is not that rare in the world of nobles. On the contrary, many people think, "Oh, this stubborn donkey Samath has finally learned to use his brain, and we can communicate with him properly."
For this reason, the Viscounty of Samat has maintained a good relationship with the surrounding territories in the past two years. Firstly, Wei Shake himself is a kind and easy-to-talk person, and secondly, he has no intention of competing for benefits.
In his opinion, as long as he can sit on the position of Viscount until his death and pass it on to his children safely, he will have completed his historical mission. The rest is good if you can do it, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t do it.
So when Sui Xiong appeared in front of him and asked him, "How have you been these past years?", in addition to being grateful, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
His Majesty Void Mask has not appeared again since he helped him become a viscount. Appearing suddenly now and being so polite always makes people a little worried.
Could it be that... His Majesty, the Great Mask of the Void, suddenly encountered some difficulty, or maybe he thought of some important event, or had some task assigned to him that he needed to complete
