After the discussion, Lu Cheng took Elena to take a political class.
During this period, Lu Cheng did not tell Elena what happened to Scarre, so that she could concentrate on listening.
This class was taught by a professor invited by Lucheng specifically for General Hubert and Princess Elena.
The outline of the course content is to teach Princess Elena how to govern a country. In simple terms, it is to try to free the country of Skarre from backward feudalism.
Elena was listening very carefully, and Lu Cheng could see it... Her red pupils were fixed on the white board, and her brows were slightly wrinkled, but her occasional nodding action exposed Elena's current condition.
This is just like when you are attending an open class in college, with a bunch of people watching from the back. As a student, you have to force yourself to stick around even if the class is boring.
But Elena was indeed listening to the class very seriously. The reason why she felt sleepy was very simple, that was she didn't understand.
She has been studying in the school in the camp for almost half a month. In subjects like mathematics and Chinese, Elena can get full marks through hard work.
As for sociology, no matter how she listens to it, she is still confused.
Knowledge such as "the narrow development curve of feudalism", "the pros and cons of capital economy", "where to start legal reform", etc., Elena didn't understand what it meant just by listening to the beginning.
In the end, this two-hour political class ended when Elena had to use her fingers to support her eyelids to avoid falling asleep on the table.
"Elena, are you okay?"
After thanking the professor, Lu Cheng came to Elena, stretched out his hand and shook her shoulder.
Just as Lu Cheng expected, after the professor announced the end of get out of class, Elena almost fell asleep, but she kept patting her cheeks with both hands to try to stay awake.
Lu Cheng sometimes envied this girl. Not having too many schemes meant not having too many worries. As the queen of Scarre, she cared more about the people than the country.
Elena woke up immediately when she heard Lu Cheng's shout.
"I...I wrote it all down!" Elena raised the notebook beside her and said to Lu Cheng, like a primary school student who was caught sleeping in class by the teacher.
"It's no use writing it down if you don't understand it. You have to understand it!"
Lu Cheng looked at Elena's notebook, which was already filled with what the professor had said in that class.
Just looking at it, it is definitely the notes of a good student.
"I understand it too!" This sentence of Elena's was obviously a lie. She felt ashamed without Lu Cheng exposing it. She covered her cheeks with both hands. "In fact, there is still a lot I don't understand."
"Now is not the time to act cute, Miss Elena. If you don't understand something, just ask me directly."
Lu Cheng knows the seriousness of the current situation. After completing courses in this area, Elena must return to the country immediately to deal with the conflict between the people and the aristocracy.
Because Elena is one of the few rulers among the common people of Skarre who is still trusted by the people.
Considering Elena's emotional intelligence, Lu Cheng felt that instead of letting her deal with this matter, it would be more reliable to teach her several ways to operate an excavator.
"And Mr. Hubert, do you understand?"
Therefore, Lu Cheng could only place his hopes on another minister who assisted Elena.
"Mr. Lu Cheng, the systems of various countries in your world seem to use laws to replace the power of the nobility?" General Hubert did not dare to say that he had fully understood the content of this class, but he still understood the general meaning.
"This is only a small part, but General Hubert, have you thought about how to change the political system of Scarre in the future?"
When Lu Cheng asked this question, the old general's face showed an extremely conflicted expression.
In this class, the old professor listed many examples of countries on Earth. General Hubert listened briefly for a while and learned that the final outcome of most countries was that the aristocracy was completely overthrown and the era of democracy was ushered in.
The power of the people is invincible. This statement seems to apply to every country with only a few exceptions.
"Mr. Lu Cheng, do you have any good suggestions?"
The reason General Hubert was in a dilemma was that he was the overthrown nobleman.
If Scarre really wanted to implement a new political system, he would lose the identity he was proud of.
"Any suggestions? National development must be combined with actual conditions. If you want to conquer the world, I can give you one or two cheat codes, but I'm helpless in this regard. However, I do have a suggestion. You might want to try constitutional monarchy." Lu Cheng mentioned a political system that General Hubert had heard of before.
"Constitutional monarchy? I remember it was the one called..." General Hubert paused here.
"England! It seems to be a political system born from the Glorious Revolution. It seems that other countries on Earth also have it." Elena said what General Hubert wanted to say. Her memory is much better than that of this old general who is over fifty years old.
"It's difficult to implement your plan to change to a constitutional monarchy."
Lu Cheng knew that changing a country's system was not as easy as it sounded, but compared to political systems such as presidential republic and parliamentary republic...Scare's desire to establish a constitutional monarchy was relatively simple.
But the biggest problem at present is that Scarre is still in feudalism, and most of the civilians can be described as ignorant. When the Glorious Revolution took place in Britain on Earth, the Renaissance had passed, and most of the people had their own ideas.
But if those people were allowed to form a parliament now, it might turn into a complex of bandits and strongholds.
However, as the queen of Skare, Elena does not just have the title of queen, she really has the power to command all the people of Skare.
"I remember it was on this page." Elena flipped through her notebook and found the notes related to constitutional monarchy and showed them to Hubert.
"To rule without governing, to retain only the title of nobility... to let the people govern the country? People who can't even read?"
General Hubert was still skeptical of those people because he knew clearly how ignorant the lower class people were.
"I didn't ask you to complete the changes all at once. Your current feudal monarchy is in danger." Lu Cheng felt that if what Tiehuan reported was correct, Scarre would probably fall into chaos soon, so he urgently needed someone to stand up.
"My current suggestion is to let Elena return to the country to carry out a series of reforms. The first of these reforms is to abolish slavery, and the second is to bring those nobles who have oppressed the people in the past to justice."
When Lu Cheng said this, he had already consciously taken off all the documents he was wearing, including the red flag representing his country.
So Lu Cheng told Elena and General Hubert from a personal perspective how to deal with the current political situation in Scarre that was on the verge of collapse.
That is to let the people vent their hatred.
"This... Do you want Her Majesty Elena to return to the royal city to take back her power? Isn't this a little too fast?"
In General Hubert's vision, he learned enough knowledge, including farming and infrastructure construction, and then returned to the country to invest in construction.
Hubert has only learned a little bit of farming now, and it seems that there is no point in his eagerness to return home.
"If you don't go back, your country will probably explode." Lu Cheng told General Hubert a sad fact.
