"By the way, little sister, what did you gain from your trip abroad? Could you tell me about it?"

Shu naturally laid out the entire current state of education in Master Huang's domain.

"Mr. Huang said a lot to me over the past three days. Knowledge is like food; we must not only ensure that everyone in the world can afford delicious food, but also that everyone can enjoy the convenience brought by civilization and wisdom."

Mr. Huang said, "Great talents can come from humble families, but there are very few humble families in the world. Humble families do not refer to ordinary people, but rather to fallen nobles."

"No matter how miserable they are, they still have their own little plot of land, so they won't end up on the streets, and they still have money to support their children's education. As long as they pass the imperial examination, they can completely change the family's situation."

Jie lowered his head. "How could I not understand this principle?"

"Sister, is the Mr. Huang you mentioned a nobleman?"

"Yes, he never denied his noble status, but I think he's a good person, so good that he doesn't even realize he's a good person."

"This is the first time I've heard you evaluate someone like this. It seems that Mr. Huang has a very good image in your mind."

As Jie continued to listen to his sister's account of her time in Mr. Huang's territory, he increasingly felt that they seemed to have common ground.

Shu nodded in agreement, "If only I had ten thousand mansions, I could shelter all the poor scholars of the world and make them smile. Mr. Huang said that this is a system called compulsory education, which gives his people the right to experience the world. This is what a lord should do."

Jie had already made up his mind to write a letter to the newly appointed True Dragon.

Let's see if we can set aside some money after the famine ends to pilot this education system.

This will undoubtedly threaten the interests of those powerful families; it remains to be seen how the True Dragon will fare.

Putting everything else aside, at least True Dragon is currently wholeheartedly devoted to the people, and such national policies will surely lead to the prosperity of the country.

Jie was only responsible for offering suggestions; he had no power to push for the implementation of policies.

She was just a schoolteacher and didn't have the same power as the others.

"By the way, Mr. Huang hopes you can donate some calligraphy; he plans to use it to decorate his shop."

"I don't have any calligraphy or painting, just some words I wrote in my spare time. But since it's a gift for someone, I'll write it properly."

Three days later, the scroll portal reopened.

However, the location was not in Shu's home; the scroll was hung high above the granary.

"It's still a bit difficult... My head feels a little dizzy."

Although there was no suppression from the Golden Tree, controlling such a long-distance teleportation was still somewhat difficult for Xi.

Fortunately, she was not fighting alone; her three older sisters were always there to support her.

In just one hour, a massive amount of grain filled a warehouse.

As for helping Yan Country peel the husks, Master Huang said he didn't have that much free time. Who would peel all the husks from their grain reserves?

The food delivery continued until the next morning. Xi, exhausted from a long day's work, was deathly pale, without a trace of color in her face.

My hands were trembling uncontrollably.

As the scroll closed, Xi couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, then collapsed heavily into Jie's arms.

"I don't want to sleep... nightmares."

Xi couldn't hold on any longer and fainted before she could finish speaking.

Shu quickly took his youngest sister into the room and placed the pillow that Mr. Huang had given her under her head.

Hopefully this pillow will actually work...

Chapter 180 Kal'tsit: How about we call it Holy Terra?

A few days later, in Master Huang's territory.

It was another morning when Master Huang was woken up by his familiar good morning kiss.

Although the kiss was a little... Huang Cao lifted her blanket and found Kal'tsit already had breakfast.

"Your medical check-up this morning is complete, and you slept almost perfectly last night."

After wiping her mouth, Kal'tsit stood up and said in a serious tone.

"I'm curious, when have my medical tests ever gone wrong?"

Huang Cao asked curiously, while enjoying Kal'tsit's dressing service and changing into a new pair of underwear.

"Indeed, no. Every inspection has been perfect, and all data are up to standard."

Kal'tsit answered truthfully.

"So these are just some of your little quirks, right?"

After Kal'tsit finished her breakfast, it was up to this cat to prepare a proper breakfast for Master Huang himself.

Then Huang Cao discovered that many breakfast items with Yan Country characteristics had suddenly appeared on the table this morning.

It seems this cat has indeed learned quite a few skills recently.

Although the dumplings were still a complete mess, at least they didn't fall apart when they went into the water.

Thinking of the meatball noodle soup that the cat cooked for him yesterday, Huang Cao felt a chill run down his spine.

What followed was a simple and unpretentious aristocratic life.

Since the castle was only inhabited by servants and Kal'tsit, Huang Cao always felt that life was somewhat lacking in fun.

He originally planned to surprise the other two at the front line, but he figured it might frighten them, so he decided against it.

After all, these two people tend to lose control when they see him, especially now that he's under a lot of pressure.

If I go, wouldn't I be like a lamb entering a tiger's den? I'd definitely get a severe beating.

Therefore, in order for his wife to concentrate on dealing with the front lines, Master Huang decided not to go there and cause trouble.

It's quite fun to just stay at home and play with your cat.

"Kal'tsit, it's a good thing I'm not an ordinary person. If I were in average physical condition, and you kept checking me like this, I'd probably be in my grave by now."

"So I'm quite similar to the master, so why don't you give it a try? Maybe the feeling will be very different from the other two ladies?"

"Then forget it."

The two chatted casually until Huang Cao suddenly remembered something.

"Hmm, I always feel like the way I'm going to raise my children in the future seems a bit strange."

"Master, you can leave the child to me. Don't worry, I may not have learned anything else in the past tens of thousands of years, but I'm an expert at taking care of children."

"I didn't notice."

"For example, my suggestion is to specifically train a successor for external operations, give him a title such as War General, and send this War General out to fight when the territory is at its most powerful..."

"Are you joking at this moment? I'm afraid that if I really hand it over to you, when I sit on the throne, my descendants might suddenly rise up and stab me."

The buff was maxed out, and it happened on a planet called Terra, so it's entirely possible.

Although they are not from the same world, they can become the same Terra.

An emperor is an emperor, but his surname is not Huang.

Similarly, Master Huang didn't want to be forced to sit on a golden toilet. He didn't want a situation of fatherly love and filial piety to happen, so he thought he should only have a few children in the future, not too many.

There are as many people as there is land. If nothing unexpected happens, two children will be born. If something unexpected happens, then we'll pretend Huang Cao never said anything.

After all, before accepting Lamian, Huang Cao had already planned to cultivate a single seedling, but now there are two.

"So, will I be able to hold the little lord in a few years?"

Kal'tsit asked with some anticipation.

"Impossible! I haven't finished enjoying it yet, and I'm also considering whether to change my throne to Golden Throne."

"Does this have any special meaning?"

"No, it's just that everyone calls this world Terra, and I'm thinking that if I ever unify the world, I should change the name Terra."

Kal'tsit suddenly thought of four words, "Master Huang, I have a suggestion, how about we call it Holy Terra?"

"It's a good name, but it sounds a bit immoral. It doesn't sound like a place for humans to live. It's neither sacred nor Terra."

In the end, Kal'tsit still couldn't open this guy's heart.

Since I can't pry open your heart, I can try knocking on another door during the medical check-up tonight.

So let's turn our attention to Kazdel today.

After a long standoff, Theresia finally gave in and began restricting the supply of goods to the country three days ago.

The schools that had been built were left unattended, and the students were once again sent to factories and farms to produce everything that could be consumed by the war.

However, it's still better than before when there was nothing to eat during wars. Kazdel now only has limited supplies, whereas before Kazdel were none at all.

At least there was no famine in the rear. Huang Cao knew that this pink-haired one probably wouldn't last much longer, and neither would Leithanian.

The Leithanian's patience was ultimately much weaker than that of the Sarkaz. Although they hadn't yet fallen to the point of having to ration supplies, the key issue was that the Witch King seemed to be acting strangely, embarking on massive construction projects time and time again.

Currently, the Electors of Leithanian are still on the side of the Witch King, and the creation of Twin Empresses is a matter for the future.

Faced with the Witch King's exploitation and the drain of wars abroad, the Leithanian were not much better off than the Kazdel people.

Therefore, a ceasefire should be declared once the conflict eases, but it is unclear when the ceasefire will take place.

"In the end, I still have to do it. Oh well, I've already achieved my goal. Theresia has grown. If she continues to stay at home, Lamian will probably be heartbroken."

"I don't know how long Leithanian can hold on, but I know this pink-haired one is about to collapse. At most, in six months, the country will probably be unable to even guarantee the most basic supplies, and will once again return to the economic situation of the Six Heroes era."

After thinking for a while, Huang Cao decided to open the granary and distribute the grain, using his identity as Speaker Victoria.

Of course, we can't expect Master Huang to be acting entirely out of kindness.

One reason was to prevent these wives from being heartbroken after the war ended, and another was to gradually build his reputation in Kazdel, which didn't come for free.

Before the siblings' civil war broke out, Huang Cao, for the sake of observation, would not interfere too much with Theresia's administrative policies, nor would he allow the outside world to have too much influence on Kazdel because of his own reasons.

The act of opening the granary and distributing grain on her own was undoubtedly an injection from the outside, so Theresia had to give something in return for the benefits she received from her.

This time, the sacrifice is the support of the people.

"Cash on delivery, Theresia..."

Huang Cao called over Kal'tsit, who was still cleaning, and gave the cat a seven-day break, asking her to inform others.

Master Huang's decision did not surprise Kal'tsit. After all, when she ran the fertilizer plant, she already knew that the man in front of her would never do anything unnecessary.

Through the operation of the fertilizer plant, Theresia lost some control over the domestic economy.

This aid was naturally not free. On the surface it was humanitarian aid, but in reality it was all about business, and Theresia simply couldn't refuse it.

"Remember, if you don't want me to go to war with this Theresia, you must do it in the capacity of the Speaker Victoria."

What will Your Highness have to give up this time?

My lord, when will you begin your counterattack?

Without delay, that very evening Kal'tsit changed into a Victoria maid outfit and drove a simple Originium car to the front lines.

Theresia, who was cutting down a squad of warlocks on the front lines, suddenly sneezed out of the blue.

However, she didn't pay much attention to it, and after wiping the blood off her sword, she continued to fight.

As the strongest member of the Sarkaz, Theresia fought from morning till night, finally managing to repel the attack near dusk.

After leading his army back to their encampment, it was far from time for the young king to rest.

"If the war is not ended soon, the food reserves in the country may not last much longer."

In the dim candlelight, Theresia murmured to herself, the bloodstains on her body still wet.

Chapter 181 Theresia: The Speaker's... it's still not over!

To prevent Master Huang from becoming the spokesperson for AttTV in the future, Kal'tsit, who did not have a driver's license, drove a hastily made jeep with the Blessing of Abundance at breakneck speed.

They arrived at the front lines in just two days.

And carrying Theresia's special token, she successfully bypassed all obstacles and arrived before His Highness.
