Gaining a Little Fan / Since Things Have Come to This, Let's Drink Iced Black Tea First
It was precisely because of this experience that Margaret initially disliked Utopia, as the country had seized the sovereignty of the Kazimierz people. However, after this battle, she realized that the changes brought about by Utopia were real and tangible.
Unlike Ursus' invasion of other countries, it did not bring only slaughter.
Utopia only brings a better social environment and more happier welfare policies; it just places higher legal demands on the people.
However, these laws were very much in line with Margaret's values. Although they were a bit strict, they still encouraged people to do good and left all emotional judgments to the lord at the very top.
In some extreme circumstances, the legal rulings of a utopia may have loopholes due to imperfections in the legal system, or the judgment may be unexpected if the person was wrong but acted justly.
In such cases, the law can be disregarded, and a special pardon can be used. However, once this situation arises, all decisions must be made by Master Huang himself.
This is a very extreme case, and it can only be submitted to Master Huang when the local court is unable to make a reasonable judgment. Such cases are rare, usually only occurring once a year.
Most of the time, the courts in Utopia deliver verdicts that meet people's expectations, making them arguably the most impartial courts on this land.
After spending some time in Ursus, Margaret suddenly felt that Ursus's laws were just for show.
The laws of Utopia cannot bind only Master Huang, while the laws of Ursus cannot bind all nobles, as all the benefits of the latter are irrelevant to the lower classes.
Whether they were city dwellers or rural peasants and serfs, everyone was oppressed and ruthlessly exploited by the massive aristocratic class.
Huang Cao's reluctance to be bound by law was merely a means to better exercise his power, while these nobles sought to further exploit him.
After traveling for more than a month, Margaret began to read the history of Utopia on her own initiative.
In the past, she disdained reading the history of Utopia, a foreign country, and was even unwilling to look at history books in her own country, believing it to be a special kind of cultural invasion.
After witnessing the oppression that the Ursus Nobles could exert over the lower classes, she began to explore the history of Utopia.
It turned out that the lord of Utopia was actually a very kind "nobleman".
When he first established his homeland hundreds of years ago, he made sure all his people had houses before he started building his own castle, and he even paid each builder a very generous reward.
This is something that nobles from other countries cannot do, especially the nobles of Ursus.
The insects were quite surprised after reading Master Huang's biography, believing it to be fabricated.
In reality, the Sarkaz who worked with Master Huang more than two hundred years ago are still alive.
This group of people spend their days eating sunflower seeds and chatting, and their place of residence hasn't changed much.
The only difference is that the houses, like those of other ordinary Utopian citizens, have become more luxurious and comfortable.
If you want to find it, you can definitely find it; arranging them in a row by ID number isn't difficult.
It wasn't that Margaret wanted to understand Utopia, but rather that Utopia's actions were so "unconventional" compared to countries like Ursus that it made the confused yearn for fire.
Before this golden foal was born, Utopia's infiltration of Kazimierz was complete, but it ultimately did not become a full part of Utopia.
Huang Cao has never tried to conceal his actions; I simply seized supreme power from Kazimierz.
Because I am right, and I still have power, why should I hide it?
Chapter 651 Gains a Little Fan
Generally speaking.
Most people wouldn't care much about this after enjoying the benefits of utopia, but Margaret was truly single-minded before she became an adult.
In addition, being born into a knightly family, Cyril had a negative preconceived notion of Utopia because she was seriously injured by weapons sold by Utopia during the war between Ursus and Kazimierz.
After her trip, she was severely criticized by the international community.
Although Margaret still maintains her sense of justice, at least she's not so stubborn anymore.
In other words, it means you've grown up.
Margaret only understood after studying a great deal of national history.
If there were no utopia in this world, what a mess Terra's international community would be.
The light of civilization, the savior of the virtuous.
Only by experiencing it firsthand can one truly understand the grandeur of Utopia's actions. That's why, after Margaret dragged her exhausted body to the end of her trip, she became a fan of Utopia.
I have to share this; it's truly a beacon of civilization in Terra.
With Ursus standing in the background, the country established by Master Huang was simply paradise, or rather, it was paradise to begin with.
Upon her return, Margaret abandoned her military career and decided to enter politics to contribute to the construction of Utopia.
One person's strength is limited; only by pooling everyone's strength can we change the world.
If all goes well, with her grades, she should be able to find a suitable job after graduation.
Master Huang also noticed her efforts.
"Alas, as expected, people of insight cherish each other. Under my influence, this land has undergone considerable changes."
Since that's the case, I'll go and see him, and while I'm at it, I'll treat Cyril's injuries.
Cyril was paralyzed on one side at the time and was kept alive by a ventilator. If it weren't for Utopia's critical illness insurance policy, he would probably be dead by now.
He was wounded in the war against Ursus, at which time Black Serpent traded his land for a batch of military equipment provided by Master Huang.
Kazimierz's metal smelting technology was not as advanced as Utopia's, so it was instantly breached.
The war between this country and Ursus nearly destroyed its own knightly class, laying the foundation for the arrival of Utopia.
However, the Nearl Family is not in a good situation right now, and their household expenses are quite high.
A string of data appeared in Huang Cao's eyes.
The above indicates that Margaret's parents are not missing and are currently delivering food.
After all, the era of knights had come to an end, and those who were not so keen on serving Utopia naturally wanted to continue living their lives well.
However, the family struggled to make ends meet in order to maintain basic operations and pay for Cyril's medical expenses.
Utopia's healthcare system is indeed very strong, but currently, Kazimierz is not officially part of Utopia, so the extent of the benefits is limited.
They cannot enjoy the same level of free healthcare as citizens of a true utopia.
Fortunately, after Utopia settled in Kazimierz, the country underwent tremendous changes in all sectors.
Therefore, even delivering food can support a family and even cover the medical expenses of a seriously ill patient.
They were strapped for cash, but not poor at all.
But for the two girls who are in the prime of their lives, their parents often feel guilty for not being able to give them a better life.
Even though neither of the sisters mind.
"Yoranta Nearl, Snitz Nearl."
Margaret's mother was Yolanta, and her father was Snitz.
Both are ordinary working-class people, and in the story, their fighting abilities are comparable to Terra Superman's; it's just unclear what their cultural differences are...
Yolanta Nearl was born into an ancient knightly family, so she should have a basic level of cultural refinement.
Snitz Nearl wasn't quite sure, as the story didn't describe the two of them much.
Huang Cao was too lazy to dwell on the two men's talents anymore; his only target was their daughter.
By the way, it seems Zofia has been sponsoring the Nearl family.
She's currently a well-known idol in Knight Grand Prix, the kind who's making so much money her hands cramp up.
And he manages his assets very well, seemingly making him an excellent investor.
There were no injuries to his hands, after all, it was just a friendly exhibition match.
On his second day in Kazimierz, Huang Cao went alone to the territory, or rather, the residence of the Nearl Family.
The Nearl Family's territory is quite large, exceeding the legal limit for residential area, and the excess portion incurs additional taxes each year.
In Huang Cao's utopia, there's no such thing as a mortgage because everyone can afford to buy a house, so there's no need to borrow money.
I gently rang the doorbell, and soon a girl with blonde hair also walked to the door.
"Are you the Utopia's Lord?" Maria asked excitedly.
"That's right, I am the Utopia's Lord. I have something to discuss with your sister."
"Come in quickly, I'll call Mom and Dad over right now."
Huang Cao didn't stop the teenage girl; it seemed her reputation was actually quite good in their family.
Led by the adorable little girl, Master Huang arrived at the main hall of the Nearl Family villa.
Since there are no mobile phones, communication relies entirely on voice.
"Sister! The important person you've been longing for has arrived! It's the lord of Utopia!"
The sound of a stone thrown into a still pond caused a great stir. Huang Cao clearly heard the girl's exclamation from upstairs, followed by a flurry of activity.
Looks like I've unintentionally gained a little fangirl.
By the time Margaret came downstairs, she was already dressed in a proper knight's outfit.
The riding outfit was in excellent condition, but the style was from over ten years ago.
Although she admires herself, she still prioritizes the dignity of her family, which shows she is indeed a sensible girl.
"Mr. Huang, what brings you here today? Please have a cup of tea."
Huang Cao looked at the empty teacup in his hand, his expression seemingly asking:
Where is my tea?
Margaret turned to look at her sister, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.
My career is in serious jeopardy right now, what about the tea?
Maria winked: I don't know, sister, weren't you busy with your exams? You've already drunk all the tea leaves!
Fortunately, Maria is quite clever. "I'll go buy drinks right now, you two wait for me!"
After saying that, she ran out in a flash. Huang Cao could sense the metallic element on Maria's body; at most, there were only five coins.
So it's obvious what kind of tea we can buy, and it just so happens that he likes to drink it too.
"I'm sorry, we're short on funds at home and lack the resources to entertain everyone. I just called my uncle and parents by landline. Are you looking for them today?"
"I guess you could say I'm looking for them, but the main thing is to find you."
Huang Cao pointed directly at the bewildered Margaret and pulled an exam paper out of her pocket.
Chapter 652 Since things have come to this, let's have some iced tea first.
"Give it a try. I've seen all your hard work over the years. You've been taking exams all this time; the certificates you have in your room are probably piled up like a mountain by now."
Over the years, while preparing for her exams, Margaret has also obtained many certificates to increase her competitiveness.
Whether it's computer or mechanical repair, she has more than ten certificates, making her a veritable queen of certificates.
Although there are fewer officials compared to those in the main city of Utopia, their strength is still high enough.
And since they were all taking exams for Utopia certificates, it was normal for Master Huang to know, so Margaret didn't have too many suspicions.
He simply focused on taking out his pen and working on the test paper that Master Huang had pulled out.
Not long after, Maria returned with two large bottles of iced black tea and generously handed them to Huang Cao.
Cheers!
Maria spoke cautiously, afraid of disturbing her sister while she was doing her homework.
Huang Cao glanced at the focused golden horse, then gently drank her red tea in one gulp.
Chilled, tasteful.
Although Margaret's blood pressure would probably spike after finishing this test, it wasn't that she looked down on the king, but she was worried that he might feel slighted because of the fact that he was being given iced tea that cost only a Master Huang dollars.
After all, he is the head of a country; if the reception is treated lightly, it will escalate into a diplomatic incident.
But Master Huang wasn't the kind of person who liked to make a scene; he didn't care about such trivial matters, as long as it tasted good.
However, Margaret's parents returned home shortly after receiving a call from her.
They drove two electric bikes, and before entering the door, they hurriedly took off their delivery uniforms and hung them on the bikes.
They rushed home, and as soon as they entered the living room, they found their eldest daughter doing a test paper, and their youngest daughter drinking cheap iced tea with Master Huang.
