791: Chapter 31 Why not build the Heavenly Kingdom_3 791: Chapter 31 Why not build the Heavenly Kingdom_3 “Before universal compulsory education, we must first establish adult technical education—this education must be closely related to the upcoming agricultural reform.

Those who participate in adult technical training will be given priority in employment.”

“This is to ensure that the ‘educated have a stable avenue for advancement’.

They spend time reading and learning knowledge, and we must ensure that the ‘cost’ they pay has a corresponding ‘return’.”

“We must give the domain residents a taste of success, only then will they be willing to entrust us with their most valuable asset—their ‘children’—so we can forge the path to the future.”

Ian’s tone was calm, but his words were cold and even merciless: “Uneducated domain residents are just tools, subject to manipulation by lords like me, with no understanding of their own destiny.”

“What we need are true ‘insiders’—those who can understand my thoughts, my policies, who may not support me, but at least know why I make such decisions.”

“Only such people have the strength to advance a system, an order.”

Everyone fell silent.

Everyone, including Adalbert, came to a sudden realization at that moment.

——They apparently had no idea what Ian was truly trying to accomplish.

Why was Ian so determined to travel abroad, to go to the Imperial Capital?

Why, after visiting the Imperial Capital and seeing a larger world, did he resolutely return to South Ridge?

Why did it seem as though he had made all his plans from the start, only waiting to truly own another domain before implementing them?

And for what exactly was he planning so tirelessly, so diligently?

Money?

Unlikely.

Power?

Then why not stay in the Imperial Capital, or follow the Ellen Family or the Second Prince?

Authority follows the same logic; it really is the same as power.

“…Ian.”

After swallowing a gulp of water, the voice of the deceased monarch even trembled: “What…

what exactly do you want to do?

A lord doesn’t need to do so much…

You’re almost like…”

Almost like the Duke of Solin, who created hell…

The white-haired youth turned around, he looked at Adalbert and smiled slightly.

“There are too many hells in this world; I don’t want to wallow in filth,” Ian said calmly.

“Gu Ying, you and I have seen quite a few hells—we’re even next to hell itself, a place dark and dim, terrifyingly fiery, where neither the sun nor the stars are visible.”

“Let’s not talk about that.”

He turned his head, looking at the silent blue-haired swordsman: “Green Tide, you too—do you really support the policies of Whale Song Cliff?

Do you think what happened to your father and the other old soldiers of Whale Song Cliff is reasonable?

Such things won’t happen in the order I’m going to build.”

“Of course not,” Green Tide muttered.

“That’s why I want to become someone important or follow someone important, so there could at least be a semblance of fairness…

Well, perhaps it’s unfair.”

Ian chuckled lightly, looking at the ordinary Iron Folk: “And Scott, you’re an ordinary person, so you understand how difficult it is for an ordinary person to become someone like you are now, don’t you?

If I didn’t exist, if I hadn’t guided you, would you want your children to live in such a world?”

“No…” the Iron Folk murmured: “Yes…

I really wouldn’t want it, to live a dull life in Harrison Port without any hope…”

“In that case.”

The deceased monarch gazed at the youth and saw, within those blue eyes, the bright light of fire, a brilliance stemming from the deepest reaches of the soul.

Those were blue stars, a pair of blue suns…

the slowly vibrating Heart Light Body, with its fierce longing.

It was gradually taking shape…

guiding people towards the future.

A vision of greater heights, leading the formation of dreams.

And in reality, Ian said calmly: “Why don’t we go build a Heavenly Kingdom?”

“Since many things in this world are already so terrible, why not give it a try?”
