Chapter 595 Rufer’s letter to Master Quavarin
“The church can burn Juano to death, but it cannot burn the truth.”
“What a powerful sentence, it is difficult to imagine saying such a sentence A year and a half ago, he was just an accounting apprentice or a farmer."
"Maybe. Some people are geniuses and are born with the favor and love of the Holy Father."
"Dear Teacher Aldema Quavarin, how have you been doing lately? Your acceptance and affirmation? Did you receive the last debate I sent you about the permanent lease?
At your request, I will continue to tell you about my experiences in the Thousand Valleys. "
"After the Constituent Assembly, on June 1, the two tribunes of the Thousand Valleys set two festivals for their new country.
The first festival is Victory Day on March 22. On this day, the army of Qianhe Valley expelled the royal family and the church above them and defeated the terrible Prince Condai.
So in the three days from March 21st to March 23rd, county chiefs, city chiefs and township sheriffs everywhere should hold ceremonies and banquets to celebrate the victory of Qianhe River Valley.
The Duchess, Her Royal Highness Queen Meliati, issued a decree that banquets must not exceed 50 people except on holidays, so I expect that these three days will be extremely lively.
The second holiday is Constitution Day, June 1. On this day, they formally established a constitution, became independent from the Kingdom of Leia and established a new country, and sent documents to various places in the empire to declare their existence.
For three days starting from June 1, large-scale celebrations and festival parades will be held in cities and villages, especially in the county cities of each county and the two capitals.
All groups and cities in the entire Thousand River Valley can send floats to Xialu City, which is Feiliu Bao, and participate in the joyful parade.
I was extremely happy during the three days from June 1st to June 3rd.
On the first day I attended the Constitutional Celebration. Everyone was wearing garlands and nice clothes, and all the colorful flags in the city were sold out.
Soldiers wearing brimmed helmets stood on both sides of the street, forming a human wall to maintain order.
In front of them were trombonists, drummers, panpipe players, lute and rebuke players, and behind them were groups of people waving flags.
The floats of various groups in Qianhe River Valley drove through the middle.
The first float is the float of two tribunes. They are wearing the red and white toga robes of Goyle. The carriage is the bronze chariot of Goyle. The two tribunes are holding hands. , waving to countless residents.
The second float is represented by the left and right seats. The six-horse cart has damaged shields hung on both sides and black and red flags. At the end of the cart are Barney Forth and The head of Prince Condé.
The third float was the one I rode on. It was a float owned by representatives of the private sector. The representatives had extraordinary craftsmanship. They not only installed warship-like panels on the float, but also painted oceans and flowers.
They held up the wooden statue of Juano, the founding father of Thousand Valleys, and many people cried.
There are more floats behind them, including floats embroidered with gold threads from Rapid City, floats hung with gear connecting rods and hinges from the Holy Artifact Hall, and floats draped in animal skins by mountain people.
The citizens couldn't find so many petals, so they dyed the paper, cut into thumb-sized pieces of color and threw them towards the float.
After arriving at the celebration square, first of all, the mountain knights of Qianhe Valley performed riding and archery skills on us. They came like a long wall.
After shooting the arrows, a long wall will split from it, and the triangular cone formation will charge with spears, almost as powerful as our King Xian Knights.
Then, the heroic soldiers of the Salvation Army demonstrated to us the terrible alchemical weapons.
They can actually shoot through the knight's plate armor at a distance of 120 steps. No wonder the knights call them devil's wind.
I have to tell you that Venise was so frightened that his face turned pale and he almost fell off his chair. Laughing to death.
After the soldiers finished their performance, the citizens also began to perform, including magic and acrobatics, all of which were familiar to them.
After the celebration, they held a market in the afternoon and a bonfire party in the evening. Thousands of people barbecued and danced around the bonfire. There were always men and women coming in and out of the barn in pairs.
At that time, I was still curious about what they were doing, and that annoying little Armand asked me to go in and have a look. Oh my God, I shouldn't have listened to him. "
"You asked me earlier what will be the future of Qianhehe Valley? Having seen so much, I can tell you now that the future is limitless. "
"Outside of the Kingdom of France, I have never seen such a civilized country. In some places, they are even more civilized than the Kingdom of France.
Not to mention the Permanent Tenancy Act and the Dead Hand Tax Abolition Act, they also repealed the Fugitive Slave Act and the Labor Act.
As a noble, the Grand Duchess was able to persuade everyone to give up their interests and passed the "Tariff Unification Act" and the "Judicial Unification Act."
From then on, the nobles were no longer able to set up tax cards arbitrarily, and all judicial power was concentrated in the centrally established rural and county courts.
As for wars between lords, it is no longer possible. All disputes must be resolved in the aristocratic court. The scene of lords leading armed farmers and private fights with the lords next door will no longer occur.
Although the young Patriarch was a Holy Doctrine, he not only did not forcefully promote the conversion of Qianhe Valley, he even suspended heresy trials and all religious torture, and implemented the "Religious Tolerance Decree."
Did you know? The Patriarch was more of a scholar than a general.
He has a great respect for knowledge, and he can even provide research funds at almost no cost to top scholars who have made contributions.
Catherine told me that on Qiumu Island in the Holy Arms Court, there is actually a precious El Library left over from thousands of years ago.
I asked where the patriarch learned these civilized and fair laws. It turned out that he still got inspiration from the ancient Ayr books.
I heard that these patriarchs are also preparing to build a new university in the Holy Arms Court, which will not only provide free teaching venues, but also provide free dormitories and high scholarships for students.
Do you still remember those vulgar and rude draconic scholars in Black Snake Bay? Armand told me that they were actually fighting for this new university!
It’s just that the Dragon Language scholars can only provide alchemy school and medical school, but they cannot provide important law schools, liberal arts schools, philosophy schools, and engineering schools.
I don’t want to be too rude about the local academic level in Qianhe River Valley. This is not directed at any one person, but the lawyers and engineers there are rubbish.
Even if you let your worst students come over, they will all be masters here, such as your old student who has been unable to graduate, Mr. Leonardo who is addicted to perpetual motion machines.
If you have a talented student who is hidden by the corrupt world, you might as well let him come to the Holy Armament Court.
In fact, I might want to go to the Holy Armament Court first and be your scout cavalry.
I originally just wanted to go to Rapids City and then return, but everything here was so novel, so I decided to stay a few more days.
I may first go to Castle Joan of Arc to accompany Venise and Abaz to see the sugar workshop there, and then go to the Holy Arms Court to visit the library there.
If there is such a good thing as what Armand said, I will continue to send you letters.
Best wishes to you, your student Ruphael Larkin. ”
