Wesselis briefly inspected the construction of the military academy. The first half of the academy has been built and started normal teaching, and the second half is still under construction.


Sir Henrich, who was picking on Mr. Mattus in class, had a disturbing day, but wesselis did not punish him or even look at him more.

Henrich felt like he had escaped the disaster and breathed a sigh on his way back to the dormitory.

Wesselis did not punish disobedient students, because his own learning attitude was his best punishment.

Nowadays, in this world of ice and fire, education is a valuable opportunity.

He has told them the importance of learning. This is a steady and advanced road. Anyone who can grasp it can ride the east wind. Those who fail to grasp this opportunity will continue to do what they should do. The son of a blacksmith is still a blacksmith, and the son of a fisherman is still a fisherman.

After inspecting the military academy, wesselis turned to see the medical college, which is located near Baylor cathedral and in the center of Junlin city.

The urban planning of Junlin is somewhat special. Although Baylor cathedral is located in the center of the city, it is not the most prosperous area of Junlin.

The most prosperous area of Junlin is located near the AEGON high hill and in the southeast corner of the city. It has the palace of the king of Westeros, the prime minister's tower, the Royal parliament hall and the trial court under construction. It will become the highest legal institution for the people of Junlin and other nobles to appeal in the future.

However, although Baylor cathedral is not as magnificent as Egan high hill, it is still very prosperous. The Kingdom's medical school is next to Baylor cathedral. The building scale is not as grand as the military college and is open to ordinary citizens.

The enrollment of the military academy is only recommended by local armies and is not open to the outside world. A large number of soldiers of the capital garrison have stood guard near the military academy.

Other colleges except the military academy do not have such strict conditions. It can open to the outside world and recruit students, but it needs to pay extremely high tuition fees.

However, at present, this policy is only on paper and has not been officially implemented. Now it only receives patients who come to see a doctor, and students are still the second and illegitimate children of local nobles. Even so, the medical school is still overcrowded every day, and a large number of people lined up to see a doctor.

Dr. Ambrose, the big doctor in Xuecheng, is now the president of the medical school. At the same time, he is also the leading doctor in the whole Westeros. Beside him, there is a busy little fat man running around, which makes wesselis look familiar.

However, the special situation of medical school is really too busy. Everyone is busy leaving their feet off the ground. Wesselis just looked at it here. Instead of adding more trouble to these medical workers, he turned and left here.

The military academy and the medical school are what wesselis is most concerned about, one about killing and the other about saving people.

As for the construction of the school of economics and Theological Seminary, one is in charge of money and the other is in charge of people's beliefs.

Economic reform is imperative in the future, but now the country has not been completely settled and is still in the stage of post-war recovery. There will be more wars waiting for them in the future. Now it is mainly a stable transition, and no more appropriate reform conditions have been formed.

In fact, it is the deep-rooted great aristocracy system in Westeros that has led to the stagnation of national strength. Looking at the free trade city states across the narrow sea, they are not as powerful as the seven countries, and their population and land scale are not as large as Westeros, just a small place.

However, according to the report provided by ililio mopatis, former governor of pantos, the chancellor of the exchequer, under such a strong comparison of strength, a large amount of gold and silver is lost in the seven countries every year, flowing into the free trade city states on the other side of the narrow sea, into the iron Treasury, the ancient spice guild, the thirteen giants and so on.

Where does this strong trade deficit come from? How to solve it? Naturally, it became one of the next topics.

However, it is obvious that Westeros is now only a shallow producer of raw materials, with primitive processing and production methods and the smallest profit.

The farmers of Westeros produced raw materials and sold them to the rich merchants of the free-trade city states at a very low price.

The rich merchants processed the raw materials into commodities and sold them all over the world, even Westeros. They easily took away a large amount of gold and silver at several times and ten times the price.

Once the western border was the main mining area of the seven countries. The land in the western border was rich in minerals, such as gold, silver, copper and so on... However, the western border with so many resources did not dominate westero, but was hollowed out.

Where did all the gold dug in the west go?

It didn't flow into the hands of local businessmen anyway.

With the money they earned from Westeros, the merchants of these free trade city states easily destroyed the original merchants of the seven countries and killed all their competitors to maximize their interests.

Once the Iron Throne did not notice this at all, or was ignorant. The chancellor of the exchequer only knew to lend money, resulting in this situation.

Implement limited trade protection, follow the example of trade city states to establish their own 'iron Treasury', that is, banks, promote monetary reform, change the mode of productivity, etc

All these problems in front of us need to be solved by wesselis, but this kind of problem is urgent. Economic problems can never be solved overnight. In the future, more long-term development is needed, step by step, and there is a great shortage of talents alone.

As for religion... It may be more complex than economic issues. It takes years and decades of long-term efforts to change until a generation completely dies.

Today, the theological seminary is also located not far from Baylor Cathedral, next to the guild hall of alchemists. The dean of the theological seminary is the Archbishop of the seven gods, and the fat archbishop is also proud. He wears the dean's medal and walks in the college with his head held high every day.

Naturally, there are more than seven gods in the seminary. Melisandra, the priestess of the Red God, who has a high reputation among the people, was supported by wesselis and became the vice president of the seminary, mainly training monks who teach rahlo.

In the seminary, there are the natural beliefs of loina people and the old God beliefs with more people in the north. There is also a small-scale God forest in the seminary.

On the whole, the atmosphere in the seminary was harmonious, and there was no fighting that wesselis had feared before.

After observing the military academy and medical school, wesselis returned to Red Castle.
