When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 642 There will be another chapter later

The content of natural theology will take some time to ferment. It is foreseeable that the Thousand River Valley this winter will not be as peaceful as imagined.

At least in the Holy Court, Rufiel could see that the debates about freedom rights in taverns and on the streets were becoming more and more frequent.

She also submitted an article on the question of "whether people can voluntarily become slaves", and her answer was accepted.

Unfortunately, before she could see it appear in the newspaper, Ruffield had to leave.

"Yesterday's performance of 'A Servant of Two Masters' was really excellent." Standing on the dock of Autumn Dusk Island, Leonardo smiled and praised Rufair while boarding the ship. "The manager of the Tulip Theater in Brand City will be ashamed to death after seeing your performance."

After all, he was a big money sponsor, and Leonardo owed a favor to her mentor, Quevalin. Although Rufaire didn't invite him, he still took the initiative to come to the dock to see her off.

"Actually, I'm just repeating what others have said."

Speaking of which, Ruth Feil feels a little embarrassed because many of her plays are adaptations.

These dramas basically come from the classical period of the Aiur Empire and are also recorded in the Great Library of the Mechanical Palace.

It’s a pity that the great library was burned down once, and a large number of drama scripts that were originally stored there were destroyed, leaving only the introduction and the catalog.

These plays of Rufair basically develop the entire story based on a brief introduction. For example, this time's "One Servant of Two Masters" is adapted from the story of two citizens of the ancient El Empire and their common slave.

However, she changed the background of the story to an imperial city scene that is more familiar to the public, and added many plots and jokes from life.

Leonardo is a person with a very high sense of humor. When he watched this drama for the first time, he laughed so hard that he fell over, and he even smiled knowingly at the witticisms in the drama.

This is a distinctive theatrical culture that has gradually emerged in Langsand County, or even the entire Thousand River Valley - a move away from classical ancient and theological narratives and towards modern and everyday narratives.

Among them, the complicated singing and singing styles were replaced with simpler and easier to understand spoken language, rhymes and folk songs.

The four parts of "The Expedition of the Holy Sun" written by Horn himself, such as "The Holy Sun Fights the Bishop", "The Bloody Road of Cangshan Mountain", "The Blue Blood Orphan" and "The Battle of Long Bridge", are popular in the rural areas of Qianhe Valley.

Among them, "The Holy Grandson Fighting the Bishop" is a pure comedy, "The Blood Road of Cangshan Mountain" and "Blue Blood Orphan" both start with joy and end with sorrow, and "The Battle of Long Bridge" starts with sorrow and ends with joy.

In addition to entertaining the public and increasing the legitimacy of his own rule, he also secretly traversed history books and rewrote all the dark history that was unfavorable to the Saint Grandson.

According to Horn's arrangement, in several counties that had been divided into hundreds, each township would have two or three drama troupes go to various manors and villages to perform these four plays.

At every big fair, these four plays would be performed in the market place within two days. Watching them all at once would have a better effect on the public than the education provided by the Holy Fathers.

It’s not that Ruffield hasn’t seen these four plays, but she always feels that they are too deliberate and crude.

But she had to admit that these four simple plays opened the door to a new world for her.

She had a vague premonition: apart from the overly simple and crude form of Qianhe Valley drama, its content and themes would surely create a craze in the coastal areas.

"Mr. Leonardo, are you ready to stay in the Holy Court?"

"Of course." Leonardo turned his head towards the Mechanical Palace. "Although it's not a true perpetual motion machine, it's closer than any of my machines. That's enough for me to stay."

"You can access such core secrets now?" Lu Feil couldn't help but be curious.

Leonardo shrugged, "No, first of all, I have to teach honestly for a year, and secondly, I must be an engineer at the Royal Engineering Academy of the Mechanical Palace."

Rufeel smiled playfully: "Isn't this a piece of cake for you?"

"It's not a small thing. It seems a bit crazy to say that. It's medium." Leonardo asked back, "Have you thought about what you are going to do when you return?"

Now, all the students of the Quevalin Department of the King's University in Heshangyu have moved to the Windmill Land for classes, and Rufel will also go to the Windmill Land. Although Rufel will get married sooner or later, the Aiel nobles have always spared no expense in their pursuit of art and academics.

If Thousand River Valley wasn't special, it would be no problem for Lufell to be a teacher at the Holy See Pontifical University.

"I think newspapers are good." Rufair carried a small suitcase and pressed it against her thick flannel winter dress. "After I go to the windmill land, I might start a newspaper office."

"Like Pravda?" While thinking about the structure of the clockwork engine, Leonardo was able to communicate with his wealthy sponsor at the same time.

Rufaire denied it, saying, "No, Prime Minister Lorenzo will never allow me to publish a newspaper like Pravda, so I want to publish some folk newspapers related to civic life, art, literature, and business."

Rufair is the eldest daughter of an aristocratic family, but she is also one of the few female college students of this era and even has a master's degree in philosophy, so her IQ is not low.

After coming into contact with the newspaper system of the Holy See, she quickly discovered that this model was faster and more convenient than the original book printing and handwritten book models.

Born into the El family, Rufair is quite familiar with business, and one of the resources that can almost be ranked among the top three in business is information.

Due to various limitations of the empire, the speed of information dissemination is extremely slow. Not to mention predicting the future, even the spread of what is happening now takes a long time.

This also means that whoever can know what is happening now in advance is equivalent to predicting the future, because it takes a long time for others to react after receiving the news.

If the occasional advertisements in Pravda were adopted, Ruffield believed that it would definitely be profitable, both in academic art and in business.

The windmill was not far from the Holy See City, and through the channels of the Lakin family, Lufel was able to get a lot of cheap, high-quality paper.

After the Qianhe Valley Trade Chamber of Commerce is established, with the connections of the Lufel family, we can easily place some of our own people in there.

By then, they would be able to support their own newspaper industry by importing large quantities of high-quality and low-cost Jeanne d'Arc paper at low tariffs.

Moreover, there are many commercial towns in coastal areas, and newspapers can be transported quickly by sea, so the timeliness is definitely faster and larger in scale than those handwritten pamphlets.

"What is the content of civic life?"

"Yes, just like the plays I directed at the Semicircular Theater, the focus is no longer on nobles, priests, demon hunters, and gospel stories, but on the citizens."

Ruffield had been rehearsing the play at the Semicircular Theatre for two months and knew exactly how to write it.

Moreover, she believes that, compared with the well-known aristocrats and gospels, such content is closer to the masses and resonates more.

"However, I will also reprint some articles and comments from Pravda," Rufair said with a smile, "Sister Catherine told me that she recently got permission to start a commercial newspaper, and we can reprint each other's articles."

"But as I recall, movable type printing presses are not allowed to be exported, right?" Leonardo asked doubtfully. If it were just hand copying, it would be impossible to achieve the efficiency and effect of Pravda.

"I signed an agreement not to expose these printing presses casually. Besides, some people opened a small back door for me because they failed to come to see me off." Rufell showed a playful smile, "But this back door was not opened for nothing. I bought 2000 gold pounds of bonds."

Leonardo was speechless for a moment. As expected, these families were one of the richest noble families in the Kingdom of France. This was a big move.

As for who opened the back door for Rufaire, Leonardo knew it was the youngest Cardinal Armand.

"If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely read it." Leonardo looked at the ferry that was gradually filled with people. "Have you ever given this newspaper a name?"

"In ancient El Empire, the place where art books gathered was called the Forest of Art, and my newspaper will be similar to this." As the bell rang before the ferry departed, Rufel brushed her hair that was messed up by the morning breeze behind her ears, "I've already thought of it, let's call it 'The Forest of Art'."

After waving goodbye to Leonardo, Rufair turned and walked towards the ferry. Three or five bodyguards and servants sent by the Magdi Chamber of Commerce immediately followed.

Taking one last look at the small town in the mountains, Rufair stepped onto the ferry in his deerskin boots. As the long oars were rowed, his figure slowly disappeared into the diffuse morning mist.
