Chapter 564 Protection
"How disappointing."
Lawrence sighed, standing in front of him were Candice and other maids, as well as Emma and Bull.
Sitting on the sofas on both sides were several noble women who were either quiet or indifferent, as well as young, proud and beautiful girls.
There were many candles lit in the room, as well as some decorative white lampstands. A group of young women wearing black and white maid uniforms stood around the central area, waiting for orders at any time.
The rest of the people were not interested in the topic this time. Lawrence continued: "They don't even want to come out when one of their own is being bullied. I know their concerns, but their choice makes me very disappointed in them."
"They are not farmers in the fields, nor businessmen in need of tact, but my warriors, scholars, and believer sisters."
Candice knew Lawrence's attitude towards Fuao and took the initiative to say: "Does stricter punishment be required?"
Lawrence shook his head, "It's not the time yet."
The rest don't know why.
Lawrence said: "This matter is not over yet. Someone will stand up for Tim and Lana. These two children do not have nothing. The concept that Fuao advocates is logically correct."
"It's just that he ignored that the Valkyries are no longer the masters of this area. Beow and the people in the monastery will help these two children."
"Emma, Bull, you don't have to worry about this matter."
"Yes, Master." Emma and Bull agreed.
Emma felt a little sad at this time. The master's judgment had always been correct, but it was not his brother Um who stood up for Tim in this matter, but Beow from the same village.
This shows that Umu is not important in the eyes of the owner and has no courage.
Emma thought that now that Um had grown up and was strong, he could become like a real man with the daughter of the Fleiss family, but it didn't look too good now.
Salil felt that this would cause problems, "If we don't care about it, what will happen if there is a fight? Fuao's brother is studying in the military academy, and he and Fuao are from Wakili's side."
Lawrence nodded and explained: "This is not Valkyrie, and I am not a master who just sits back and watches the people below use beastly methods to solve problems."
"What makes me angry and disappointed this time is that many people are afraid of violence. In this case, I failed to set an example, so I did not punish the bystanders."
"Beow and the others will take care of Foul's matters by themselves. Beof and Lana Dem are both my slaves and servants. Let the children take care of their own matters."
Sofia said directly: "What does this have to do with you, Master? It's just a fight between the children below. Just beat them all up."
Lawrence didn't think Sophia's method was funny. In fact, it was a traditional way to solve problems, and it was also the easiest and least brain-intensive way.
Most nobles are inclined to this method. Even in the civilized era, humans are accustomed to using this simple method.
Regardless of whether the troublemaker is justified or not, he will be beaten, and then the matter will be left alone.
Lawrence wanted to solve problems, solve them with a scientific attitude, and solve them wherever there were problems.
If there is a god, then prove that the other party exists, or if you know that there is indeed an extraordinary power that you cannot understand but really exists, then admit it readily and do not use physical and chemical knowledge to explain this power, let alone be arrogant. Think "science and technology" are stronger than these mystical forces.
If the other party's theory is excellent and there are no unacceptable ethical issues, then accept and learn from it with an open mind.
If you have a problem here, admit it openly and then solve the problem.
Lawrence is often slapped in the face by reality, and he has also been tough-talking and stubborn, but he can easily accept something as long as it proves useful and suits him.
"It is indeed my problem. At present, most people do not have the correct concept to distinguish the difference between my power and that of others."
"For example, this time many people regard Fuao as my servant, and think that resisting Fuao means resisting me, the castle and the environment."
"Lana performed very well at that time, which surprised me very much." Lawrence said seriously: "She proposed our doctrine, took what she heard in the monastery seriously, and believed from the bottom of her heart that helping others is what our church will do. "
"It's not that you should do it, it's that you will do it." Lawrence felt this was very important. "Although she may not realize it, she has clearly distinguished some things."
Salil asked: "What happened?"
Lawrence shook his head, "I can't explain this clearly in words. I, what I do, my rights, what I say, my majesty, my status, in short, there are many contradictory and overlapping things. These things The more I use my brain, the less clear I can explain it.”
To be precise, it is what Lawrence wanted everyone to understand and get, as well as the contradictions between Lawrence himself and these ideas.
I want everyone to be equal, but my relationship with them is superficially that of master and slave.
If you want an absolutely fair legal system, you can look at many places in the Holy Lady College and the monastery. It is obvious that there is a hierarchy that everyone recognizes here, and many things are the words of the prophet.
Kassandra thought for a moment and said, "Courage and mercy are among our virtues, but so is loyalty."
Sariel thought about this question, "Lawrence means that those girls regard our place as the prophet's home, and Lana's child regards this place as a monastery? Is that so?"
Lawrence showed an unexpected look, and it turned out that a person cannot be judged by his appearance.
"That's pretty much it. Salil is right." Lawrence nodded, agreeing with Salil's summary.
Salil said happily: "This makes it easy to understand! If Lana was disciplined by Bull and the others, she would definitely not say anything, but if she was bullied by other unknown outside children, she would shout to the nun on duty for help. I think this is very strange. It’s normal!”
Lawrence found that he was indeed thinking too much, and Saliel's understanding was actually closer to the little nun's true psychology.
After thinking about it carefully, Lawrence discovered that Lana might have grown up in a monastery since she was a child and considered the monastery her home.
Although there were many old nuns inside who would scold her and beat her, this kind of thing was very normal. There was no family in this era that didn't spank their children. Lana would only receive more beatings from her biological parents.
When encountering external problems, the little nuns will instinctively seek the protection of the old nuns.
The same is true here in the castle. The teachings of the church and the mercy of the prophet are the best protection for these bullied children.
After Lawrence understood the little nun's thoughts, he decided to do more things.
"Bull, go and comfort the child. The monastery will protect every child, and the prophet's home is a more just and kind place than the monastery. She will not be bullied here again."
Bull lowered his head piously, "Yes, the benevolent and great prophet."
Lawrence thought of something and added: "Bring her some candy and food, and give her a new pair of boots and a change of nun's uniform."
"Yes, Prophet." Bull quickly went out to prepare condolences for the little nun.
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Sofia stood up and stretched her waist, "Master, just leave this kind of matter to them directly. We actually don't have to worry about such trivial matters."
For thousands of years, the group of extraordinary beings has indeed done this without any problems.
Lawrence respects other people's ideas. Some ideas and suggestions may seem ridiculous and arrogant, but they are actually based on experience and perceptions formed by the environment.
Groups with extraordinary power don't worry about the resistance of the people below them at all. They are the most powerful military force and don't need to worry about the resistance of their subordinates like secular dynasties.
Lawrence said: "Different periods have different management methods. Our people now are not barbarians, but warriors with the blood of ice."
Sophia, Salil and others all showed disinterested expressions. Although they did not refute quietly, they could not listen to these words.
Lawrence did not continue talking about this matter, and quickly discussed the matter about Snow Mountain Castle.
Regarding management issues, Lawrence would talk to those who needed to know.
The political wisdom of the feudal era can only solve the problems of the feudal era, and the political wisdom of the civilized era can only solve the problems of that era.
The political system of the civilized era cannot be used to manage the feudal era and the slave era. That will only cause the people below to rebel and overthrow the system.
Lawrence doesn’t know exactly how to manage people, but it can be observed from various aspects. At the same time, the standards of virtue that everyone is willing to believe in can more easily evolve into various regulations and laws, and it can also be easier to popularize laws.
Most laws are born from public knowledge, otherwise they will be difficult to support.
Lawrence did not apply this method mechanically, but based on the beliefs and supernatural powers that exist in this world, he strengthened some concepts while restraining some violent behaviors.
The incident with the little nun made Lawrence believe that some people in this area already regarded the church's teachings as what they should do. What he had to do was to strengthen this understanding and let virtue become a restraint on the strong and a protection for the weak.
Lawrence stated that he would not care about Fuao's matter. In fact, he was very aware of the way the Valkyries dealt with things. If he did not take action, Fuao might be executed by the countess. (End of chapter)
