The sun has already slanted to the west, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, a gorgeous carriage slowly drove into Huxin Town from the south, headed north along the main street on the central axis of the city, and then passed the stone bridge to the island on the lake in the north .

To be precise, only the built-up area on this island in the lake is the real "lake town". Three years ago, a large area on the south bank of Lake Weiss was still farmland or woods, but now it has been replaced by a large number of buildings and streets. Instead, the continuous influx of immigrants and new factories are rapidly expanding the size of the town.

Some people in the Government Council have proposed to rename this emerging city, and the island's Huxin Town will continue to be used as the name of a district of the new city, but Paul is hesitant among the many naming schemes, and the new name of the city is still pending.

Because this small island on the lake is where the castle of the Graeman family lived for generations, and the office buildings of the Government Council and many departments of the army are also built around the castle, so this island has become the center of Arda, Bairding, Emden The power centers of the three powerful territories are located.

Three powerful territories—Emden was originally a strong territory (of course, in the Northwest Gulf), and the development of Arda and Bairding in recent years also showed the growing strength to the people around them.

With the help of the ever-expanding "telegraph" lines, Huxin Town sends the latest instructions to each jurisdiction every day, and receives various feedbacks from each jurisdiction.

It is precisely because of the special status of this island that it has become a place where dignitaries and nobles compete to move in. Who wants to be closer to the center of power? In addition to senior officials from various departments of the military and government, there are also those newly rising factory owners and businessmen. Ladies and gentlemen, even if they are not resident in Huxin Town, they still want to find a foothold here.

Of course, those Emden nobles and lords who had sworn allegiance to the Greiman family also rushed here to buy real estate.

Driven by these people, the price of land on the island has risen. Although the aborigines are a group of commoners, and many of them are strictly speaking serfs under the name of the Greyman family, everyone knows that Earl Greyman has always protected the island with civilians. He prides himself on himself, so no one dares to occupy or forcefully buy it under his nose. The aborigines took this opportunity to make a fortune, and happily moved to the new city on the South Bank with their money bags.

The carriage continued to drive slowly, turned into a wide alley, and finally stopped in front of a small mansion.

There were already two people, one old and one young, waiting in front of the door.

After the door of the carriage opened, the young man took a step forward and called respectfully, "Uncle."

"Orlando." The person in the car responded and stepped down.

This is a slender middle-aged man with a neatly trimmed beard and well-maintained skin. He is either rich or expensive at first glance.

Viscount Eugene Helson, the lord of one of the vassal territories of Emden, arrived in Lake Town after traveling for more than two days.

The former vassals of the Kent family have now become vassals of the Greyman family, at least in name.

The young man standing at the door to greet him was his nephew—Orlando Helson. Standing beside Orlando was the butler of the mansion in the middle of the lake appointed by Helson.

Eugene Helson's wife died after giving birth to three daughters. The Viscount, who never forgot about his deceased wife, never remarried, so he made his younger brother's son the heir of the family.

He had high hopes for this nephew, and shortly after swearing allegiance to Paul Grayman on behalf of the family, he sent him to study in Lake Town.

Sending the heirs of the family to be educated by the lord is also a common way for vassals to show their loyalty in this era.

However, there are no knights in Huxin Town to teach Orlando martial arts, and there is no noble lady to guide him in etiquette. There are only two ways to receive education——Wess Academy, which imparts cultural knowledge, and Greyman Military Academy, which imparts military knowledge.

Viscount Helson chose Weiss College for his nephew. As a nobleman who received an excellent education from an early age, Orlando did not need to start from "primary school". He can also easily master the novel knowledge taught by auditing or evening classes.

The uncle and nephew entered the mansion, where a sumptuous dinner had been prepared, and the two talked while enjoying it.

"What is the purpose of your coming to Huxin Town this time?"

"I'm going to purchase a batch of agricultural equipment, and take a look at the technologies that the Earl wants to disclose, and which ones can be used by us."

The Viscount shook his glass of red wine slightly, "Orlando, you have lived in Huxin Town for a while, how do you feel about it?"

"Well..." the young man chewed the meat in his mouth, swallowed it hastily, and said, "How should I put it, it's... a very lively place."

"Very angry?"

"Yes, Earl Greyman seems to have instilled in everyone here the concept that as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded. You may not believe it, but in Lake Town, even the lords commonly use Corvettes have not appeared for a long time, replaced by employment—Earl Greyman will also call the lords to work, but he will pay the salary."

"Oh?" Viscount Helson raised his eyebrows, "It's very novel."

"So what do you think of the Academy?" he asked.

Orlando thought for a while, and replied: "Unlike other places that emphasize literature, art, and etiquette, this place pays more attention to practicality, and mathematics is the most important thing. Many teaching contents are organized by Mr. Grayman himself. I am here. I have learned a lot of novel but efficient theories. I heard that Earl is working on a esoteric textbook called "Advanced Mathematics". It is very strange that alchemy has always been a small-scale master-student inheritance, and it is the first time we have seen large-scale teaching like Weiss Academy."

"Well, you have to study hard, study hard." Viscount Helson squinted his eyes and kept nodding. It seemed that his new lord wanted practical technical talents.

"I have always wanted to ask you a question." Orlando looked at his uncle.

"What's up?"

"I know that you sent me to study so that the family can gain a firm foothold in the new system..."

"Hmm..." The Viscount did not deny his nephew's statement.

"Then why don't you let me directly take the civil affairs officer's exam? Those mud-legged people who just know a few words can pass the exam, so I'm fine. Although it's a bit embarrassing to compete with these people as the heir to the viscount, but I am confident that with my ability, I can quickly occupy an important position."

If it is another territory, if a son of a nobleman like Orlando wants to take up any official position, a letter of recommendation from his family is enough. But in Arda it's different, you have exams.

"Orlando..." the viscount explained: "Based on my observation, the count must have had no choice but to recruit these good and bad people into his government affairs system. You know, in this day and age, people who can read through an article can How many are there? In the academy, do you think Lord Graeman attaches great importance to you students?"

"It is very important, and he will personally ask about the situation of each exam."

"That's it. The current government affairs council exam is just a stopgap measure. Those who enter will encounter the ceiling of promotion sooner or later. And the students of Weiss College are the Earl's future reliance. If you don't have this status, even if you enter the government affairs council , No matter how good the performance is, it will lose a lot of color."

"I see," Orlando nodded, "Actually..."

"Actually what?"

"I'm thinking about transferring to that military academy."

Speaking of this, the young man's eyes showed longing. He watched Arda's army drill from a distance. The neat formation, uniform movements, and goose steps that burned the buns were really touching.

"Alas..." The Viscount shook his head with a slight smile. He was also young, and he knew that this young man was full of thoughts about fighting on horseback.

"If there is a war, the army is naturally the easiest place to make achievements. But the earl is not a warlike person. The suppression of pirates, the Berdin rebellion, and the war of usurpers are all done when there is a last resort. Don't you think Slowly gaining qualifications in the army? Besides, it is not a good thing for us to have a warlike lord, such as Maltz Kent. Moreover, our status as surrendered people is also a bit embarrassing, so don't touch the earl's sword handle casually. "

"Uh...Okay!" The young man nodded dejectedly, "Actually, I'm just saying that, you know? For me, it's still relatively difficult to get into Gleiman Academy?"

"What does this mean?" Viscount Helson was very surprised, considering his nephew's excellence, he would say such a thing.

"Greyman Military Academy's enrollment seems... no, it must be biased towards those common people. Although there is no hard and fast rule, according to our private observation, it seems that no more than a quarter of the upper class's children can enter the academy, and this' The upper class' are not just genuine aristocrats like us, but also wealthy landlord families in the countryside."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Viscount Helson was very surprised.

"Yes, many children from upper-class families in our college are quite unfair. They often clash with the next-door college, and there are many cases of private fights... Uncle?"

Orlando saw his uncle on the opposite side lost in thought.

Hearing his nephew's call, the viscount came back to his senses, "Orlando, you haven't participated, have you?"

"I..." The young man hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly, "Only a few times."

If it is in other places ~www.readwn.com~ civilians fight with real powerful nobles who have territories at home, the end is generally not good, but what Orlando is facing is the student of his lord—Paul is also a member of the Gleiman Military Academy and Weiss Academy the principal.

"Listen, don't stand out when encountering such things in the future, stay away."

The viscount warned his nephew very seriously.

"Uh... yes!" Orlando was a little surprised when he noticed the expression on his uncle's face.

Eugene Helson stared at him, "Although I don't know what the earl intends, we should not ask if we shouldn't. You are the heir of our family, and I don't want you to make any mistakes."

"I made a note, Uncle."

Orlando nodded emphatically.
