Quick Transmigration: Losing All Standing and Reputation - Chapter 83

[Chapter 83 Glory recovery (fifteen)]

The Earl’s tea party became the favorite discussion among the students, and Thomas, who was invited for the first time, became the most popular person in a short time. Everyone wanted to dig out a little secret about the tea party from his mouth. Thomas kept in mind the earl’s advice and did not dare to reveal the slightest bit about publishing, so he could only rack his brains to recall the style of Blandings Castle and tell everyone.

When everyone listened to the yearning, Thomas suddenly said: “But the earl said that the structure of the castle is not warm enough. It would be nice if we could study the law of heat conduction, and then build a warmer house.”

After Thomas finished speaking I regretted it, and he didn’t know if this was something that could be said. But the words had already been spoken, and even if he wanted to take them back, he couldn’t take them back. Everyone heard it. Those with more sensitive minds have thought about it. If they start from this aspect and make some achievements to meet the needs of the Earl, will they have a better chance to participate in the Earl’s tea party? Even if you can’t attend the tea party, it’s a good way to get close to the Earl.

The people around Thomas dispersed at once. Anyway, Thomas was always boasting about the grandeur of the castle, and there was nothing important to say. It might be better to study this topic that might please the Earl.

So when Rhine came, he saw a Thomas with a drooping head, like a dog who made a mistake.

Rhine took advantage of the fact that the other students hadn’t gathered around and asked, “Thomas, what’s the matter?”

Thomas saw Rhine and said, “Sir, I told them that the castle was not kept warm, I don’t know if this can be said. I have been thinking about keeping it secret, so I accidentally said it out.”

Rhine smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter, it’s not something that can’t be said, it’s actually like an ordinary refreshment. You can also tell your classmates about this, and give them an early vaccination.”

He would never waste money on this kind of thing, even if he had to fight Joseph to the end.

Thomas touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly, thinking the Count was joking with him.

Soon, other students saw Rhine and Thomas talking here. They swarmed over and pushed Thomas away, but their hearts were very hot. Thomas is usually a nerdy nerd. After a tea party, he can talk to the Earl. If it were them, wouldn’t it be easier to get on the line with the Earl?

Thomas was not annoyed by being pushed aside. Since the Earl didn’t care about the words he accidentally disclosed, he could study his own topic with confidence and try to get the results for the Earl as soon as possible.

On the other side, Rhine was surrounded by everyone. Facing the question, “Sir, what problem are you studying today?”

Prepared a physics problem today.

The leak of Thomas’s tone is just right, and it may lead students to do related research. Rhine intends to give them some basic physical foundation first, and then enter the physical hall of thermal science.

The daily life of the university is very hard but also very fulfilling, and the Earl’s tea party has also carried out several rounds over time. Except for the good luck the first time, I directly invited an excellent student like Thomas that Rhine wanted to contact. After a few times of luck, all the ordinary students were drawn. But Rhine still invited people to the castle and cared about the daily trajectories of ordinary students in order to better customize the plan.

As for his translation work, it has almost been completed, and the rest is mainly the work of proofreading and publishing and dissemination.

Rhine’s movements were so big, as his stewards or servants, Joseph and John naturally noticed something. But no matter from the identification of identity, or from the identification of Rhine himself, they have dedicated all their loyalty and are willing to coexist with the glory of the Palatinate.

Rhine’s plan is not exhaustive, and it is so bold and unrestrained by virtue of the privilege of the nobles of this era. As an earl, he has his own land and army, and the church will never want to fight him unless it is absolutely necessary. But this privilege could not be properly extended to the people he wanted to protect, unless they were all hidden in Blandings Castle, and the Legion of the Church was blocked from the castle. That’s why he was more cautious about these talents than he was about himself.

The promotion of the translated version of the “Bible” was handed over to Hillier. Now is not a busy time for farming, and the entire army is very busy. Hillier was originally in charge of daily drills, but after receiving this task, he changed the content of the drills.

Hillier himself was literate.

When he first joined the army, he was illiterate and only wanted to win the title by fighting. Later, he won the title of knight, which is regarded as a step into the edge of high society. There, he found that the nobles were all literate, and his background was inherently low, and when it was revealed that he was illiterate, he was mocked by others.

Hillier has a very high self-esteem, he used a bright smile to cover up his embarrassment, and successfully won the sympathy and affection of several young ladies. When he turned around, he found Palatinate and told him his desire to learn to write. Palatinate graciously agreed to his request and spared no effort to help him.

Young people have much more difficulty in literacy than young children. Hillier was struggling to learn, but he didn’t say a word of bitterness, instead he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Although his initial motivation was not profound, or even a little superficial, the benefits of idioms were profound.

When Rhine handed over the task to him, he mentioned a few points.

1. It is best to literate the army. As for the level of literacy, it is up to Hillier to decide. After all, Hillier was the one who was really in charge of the plan, and Rhine didn’t want to put too much pressure on him.

2. Ensure that everyone in the army can understand the content of the Bible and understand the Bible in their own way, and everyone’s understanding cannot be exactly the same. Each person is asked to prepare and proclaim the content of the Bible according to their own understanding.

Third, the use of guerrilla tactics. Soldiers respond quickly, have good physical fitness, and are highly mobile. It’s perfect for this sort of risky publicity job. Civilians are illiterate, so the best way is word of mouth. And once this method of word of mouth spreads successfully, the church will definitely not be able to calm the situation by capturing civilians. The best way is to capture those who take the lead in propaganda. Therefore, the work undertaken by the soldiers is risky. They must do a good job of disguising and escaping, and protecting their own lives is the most important thing. After returning to the army station, he refused to admit the charges given by the church, and Rhine could stand up to protect them.

If the church had to take the initiative, Rhine would not blindly avoid it. After all, the wealth accumulated in a monastery cannot be underestimated, and robbing a monastery is enough for him to do a lot. As long as the public opinion is used afterwards and the conflict is limited to the local church rather than the entire Holy See, Rhine is still very sure that the situation will not get out of control and the war will start early.

Rhine listed the most important guidelines for the whole thing, and let Hillier plan the specific operation steps on his own. When he has a plan, he will discuss it with him. He can also directly put forward any support he needs.

Hillier was glad that Rhine entrusted him with such an important task, and realized that this was the opportunity for that choice.

A long time ago, Rhine told him frankly that he would one day attack the Holy See, and at that time, Hillier could choose whether to continue his allegiance.

When Rhine pointed his sword at the Holy See for the first time, Hillier did not see the meaning of his actions, nor did he think he could succeed.

Everything is different now. The more Rhine did, the more he felt what was right. For the first time, Hillier felt that the existence of the Holy See was corruption, oppression, and a dark shackle in the cloak of God.

If Rhine wants to destroy it, Hillier is willing to accompany him no matter how difficult the road ahead. Only at this moment did he feel that he had become a true knight, willing to give up his life for his faithful belief.

Hillier accepted the task and made a plan according to Rhine’s suggestion.

Regarding the literacy of the army, he needs the help of literate students, and Rhine has a close relationship with these students. When Hillier mentioned that, Rhine solved this problem by providing these students with part-time teaching texts. It’s just that this is another expense, and the painful Rhine hopes that the next move will drive the church organization in Canno crazy, so he can take this opportunity to loot a wave of monasteries happily, and improve the food if he can.

As for how to improve the motivation of these soldiers, there is no one in the world who is better at doing it than Hillier. He himself came from the bottom people, and climbed to his current position through the army. Except for a small number of nobles in the army, I don’t know how many people have the same ideas as he used to be. Literacy is not a hardship, but a privilege. The Count gave them this opportunity. If they didn’t seize it, in the end, it would definitely not be someone else who would regret it the most.

The progress of learning the text was quickly promoted, and Hillier began to think about the next step. The nobles in the army made him hesitate.

It’s hard to keep absolute secrecy at an event of this magnitude. In other words, the Holy See could easily know that the Count of Palatinate was behind this matter. Especially in the presence of those nobles.

There is no doubt that many of the people Rhein has done have improved the quality of life of the commoners, and many military households from humble backgrounds are grateful to the earl after they can eat enough, and are willing to support all his decisions. But those nobles are different. Their background determines their position. Once the task is distributed, they are the easiest to defect.

Hillier told Rhine of his concerns.

Rhine thought for a while.

In any case, these actions of his have not reached the point where the Holy See will fight him in an all-round way, but if the Holy See of the whole country is pegged, the later tasks will not be easy to start.

Rhine said: “Your concern is very reasonable, so let’s postpone this matter later. Now let’s do literacy first, and then you will examine the trustworthy people in the knights, and then let them examine the trustworthy soldiers in the squad. Then the time comes. We use these people for publicity first, and when the later period is more chaotic, we will let the whole legion move and increase the publicity.”

He should increase his efforts in the field of science and technology and academics, first confuse the scientific world, use the introduction of various new technologies to confuse everyone’s attention, and then try to fish in the water, translate and preach the “Bible”, and let the people in the church keep their eyes on it. It’s better not to know where.

The affirmation from Rhine greatly increased Hillier’s confidence. He nodded, accepted Rhine’s instructions, and went back to the army to investigate the cultural and educational issues of the soldiers.
