I, Altria, only want to rule China.

"No, it's not hard!" The soldier responded excitedly, as if he had not expected to get Leah's comfort.

His Majesty is so kind and peaceful, and is nothing like those nobles who are high and mighty and never look at them in the eye. This kind of His Majesty is the kind king they truly want.

"Hello everyone, you must be wondering why I gathered you all here today? This will be a life-changing opportunity for you. Do you want freedom?"

"Walking on the road like ordinary people, enjoying the sunshine happily, saying what you want to say loudly, and being with the person you love forever, do you want to? Tell me, do you want to?"

It was clearly a declaration of freedom that they had prepared, but for some reason, no one in the audience dared to stand up and speak, and they just lowered their heads.

There are so many people, but no one dares to speak their mind.

Liya frowned. Why? What's wrong with everyone? Why don't they dare to stand up? It would be fine if only one person stood up.

"Are you afraid of them?" Leah pointed at the slave owners who were lying on the ground like dogs and found that they were looking at the slaves below with fierce expressions.

"Are you threatening them? I remember I said before that I want to liberate the slaves." Leah stepped on the other person's waist, making the other person groan in pain.

"We are not threatening. It's just that Your Majesty, Arthur, although you have issued a notice to free the slaves, they don't want any liberation. What can I do about it?"

The slave owner turned around and gave Leah a disgusting smile, as if he thought that Leah had no way to help him anymore.

"Humph, you didn't tell them about these things at all, right? Instead, you made things worse. Do you think I would let you go just because those slaves kept silent? You are too naive!"

Leah kicked the slave owner directly on the waist, and instantly kicked him off the platform.

"Ahhh!"

This platform is twenty meters high. When the slave owner let out a scream, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard in the square.

This guy didn't die immediately after falling from a 20-meter-high building, but screamed in pain.

The remaining slave owners turned pale instantly.

"Well, you can see that I am completely different from those guys who enslaved you. You still have a chance. Tell me, do you want freedom?"

"Not only that, I will also guarantee your future life. There will be a large piece of wasteland for you to cultivate, as well as the necessary farming tools and a house. Tell me, do you want it?"

Tens of thousands of slaves were watching in confusion below. This girl had just kicked the arrogant slave owner down from such a high place, so it seemed that they could trust her.

"I don't want what you give me. I just want freedom, I want to go back to my hometown, I want to see my family!" At this time, a young man stood up and shouted at Leah.

Liya smiled slightly. Sure enough, there are still people who want freedom!

Chapter 214 You Are Free

"Okay, you are free now. I give you freedom. Do you see that gate? Go out from there and no one will stop you. You are free now!" Leah pointed to the gate guarded by soldiers in the square.

The boy hesitated. It was not like slave owners had deceived them before, saying they would give them freedom, but in the end they were killed as soon as they reached the gate.

This was just the amusement of the noble old men, so the slaves hesitated and dared not speak when Leah said she would give them freedom.

Just thinking of his parents and younger siblings who were still waiting for him at home, the boy glanced at Leah above, and then walked towards the gate with firm steps.

No matter whether what the girl said was true or false, as long as he could walk out of that door, he would have a chance to go back.

"Wait!" Just as he was about to step out the door, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Sure enough, is this the nobles' evil taste again..." The young man's bright eyes dimmed in an instant. If he insisted on running away, he would surely die before he could even step out of the door.

"Give him a new set of clothes and some money." The girl's voice sounded again.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the soldier responded, then took a new set of clothes and some money and placed them in front of the boy.

"Thank you!"

Looking at the brand new clothes and money waiting for him, the boy felt ashamed of his thoughts. He turned around, knelt down in front of the girl on the stage, and kowtowed three times.

Then the boy changed his clothes and left without looking back.

I heard that the girl is the king of this country? If I have the chance, I will repay her with my life!

“I want freedom too!”

"Let me out, I want to be free."

"Savior, you are our savior."

Sure enough, when the slaves saw the first person leave safely, their emotions suddenly exploded and they shouted excitedly.

"Okay, you have two choices. The first is to do the same as that boy. I will give you a set of clean and decent clothes and some money to return to your hometown."

"Second, settle down here. I will provide you with a guaranteed living for the future, a place to live, a large piece of wasteland for you to cultivate, and the necessary farming tools. If you choose 1, go to the left. If you choose 2, go to the right. Make your choice!"

After hearing what Leah said, many people looked at each other and made their choice.

One fifth of the people wanted to return to their hometown. Leah did not make things difficult for them. She gave them clothes and money and let them go.

In that case, these people will probably tell others about what happened here, which might even ignite the action of the Slave Declaration.

Most of the remaining people have no families, or most of the slaves are families. Their hometowns are either too far away, or they feel they can't go back, or they are afraid of dying on the way and being captured again.

So they decided to stay in Baiyang Kingdom and become a part of it.

Leah looked at the many slaves who were left behind. No, now they were no longer slaves, but the people of Baiyang Country. There were two or three thousand people in total. It was really not easy to find a place for them immediately.

But it’s okay. They were slaves before anyway, so just let them build their own houses. What Leah needs to solve is the problem of their food and accommodation during this period.

After confiscating the property of these slave owners, Leah found that they were really rich, so the food problem of these slaves was not a big problem.

After Leah liberated the slave market, some officials of Baiyang Kingdom followed suit and began to liberate a large number of slaves.

After all, those who dared to stand out have all died, and no one here can resist King Arthur. If you don't want to die, you have to do as he says.

Of course, every policy has its countermeasures. Although a large number of slaves were liberated, some nobles still kept some.

However, these people were no longer slaves, but servants, and what they did was no different from what slaves usually did.

However, he still had the right to life and was in an employment relationship with the officials, so he would not be executed at will by the officials. So Leah turned a blind eye to this.

Because it is impossible for her to achieve the same as in modern society where everyone is free. It is already very remarkable that slaves can be liberated in this era. The struggle for slave liberation will continue. It is not so easy to leap into a modern society.

Now all the countries in Western Europe are slavery countries, and it is a long and arduous journey for her to liberate the slaves.

It is meaningless to simply solve the problem of slavery in Baiyang Kingdom. If we want to bring equality, we must at least unify Britain.

The slave mentality is not so easy to solve. It will take many, many years and further transformation after everyone agrees with it.

In this world, there are actually a lot of wastelands, but these wastelands belong to some nobles. If you want to reclaim them, you need the consent of the local nobles.

For example, outside the city of Baiyang Kingdom, there are many wastelands and no one to manage them. Leah decided to arrange these newly liberated people outside, so that the problem of wasteland could be solved.

Of course, just in case, Leah would come here to patrol from time to time, and the people would shout when they saw Leah.

"Long live His Majesty Arthur, long live His Majesty Arthur!" The words were full of gratitude to Leah.

Bedivere and the others watched this scene and couldn't help but sigh that under the leadership of His Majesty, Britain will surely have a brighter future.

But Bedivere and the others are overthinking. Whether Britain will have a better future depends on Long Luxin.

While Leah was handling government affairs, Long Luxin had already led her troops to Camelot. This was the stronghold of their Pendragon family. They had to take Camelot back first.

Camelot was originally managed by Morgan. After Morgan left Camelot, because he had not returned for such a long time, this place became an ownerless land and was occupied by a prince.

Taking it back now can be considered as returning it to its original owner, and it is also for the sake of justice.

After handling government affairs in the White Sun Kingdom for a month, Leah received the news that Camelot had been conquered by Long Luxin. So Leah handed over the management of the White Sun Kingdom to Guinevere's brother again, and she took Guinevere directly to Camelot.

The father and daughter talked about many things in Camelot, and soon after, Leah left Britain and returned to Wu.

Chapter 215 Morgan: I was careless

"Royal sister, I have something I want to tell you." Leah, who had just returned to Wu Kingdom, hurriedly found Morgan.

"Sister, are you back from Britain? Have things over there been dealt with? So soon?" Morgan was a little surprised to see Leah coming back from Britain so soon.

"No, I was driven back by that girl Long Luxin. She said she wanted to conquer Britain by herself and didn't want me to help her there." Leah smiled bitterly, but it was good that her daughter had ambition.

"That girl has grown up to be very capable... But according to the current troops of Wu Kingdom, it shouldn't be a problem to conquer Britain." Morgan thought about it and felt that there was no big problem.

"So, is there something wrong, sister?" Morgan asked.

"Uh...that..." Looking at Morgan's expression, Leah didn't know how to start.

But she had promised Guinevere before she came back, so she couldn't go back on her word.

"This is not like you, Altria." Morgan frowned when he saw Leah hesitating.

Leah said hesitantly: "This time when I went to Britain, I met someone. Her name is Guinevere, and... I like her a little bit, so... I want to bring her back. Of course, if you don't agree, then forget it!" Leah said hurriedly at last.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Leah will give up Guinevere. If Morgan doesn't agree to let her take her back, she won't take her back. She has already made up her mind that when the time comes, she will create a clone to accompany Guinevere.

In short, Morgan's opinion is very important. She doesn't want to have any emotional problems with Morgan because of Guinevere's matter.

After all, the two of them had lived together for so many years. Not only did Morgan give birth to so many daughters for her, but she also helped her in government affairs. That was why she was able to rule such a large country without making any major mistakes. It can be said that Morgan made an indelible contribution.

"Guinevere, right? If you like it, just bring it back." Morgan said with a smile.

"Eh? Sister, you agree?" Leah was prepared for Morgan's disagreement, but she didn't expect Morgan to agree without saying a word. This really surprised Leah.

"Yes, I agree, you heard it right." Morgan continued with a smile.

"That's great. I was worried that you wouldn't agree to this, sister." Leah said happily.

"In your eyes, is my sister such a jealous person?" Morgan frowned in dissatisfaction.

"No, no." Leah shook her head quickly.

"In that case, then go and bring her back." Morgan waved his hand.

"Yeah." Leah nodded repeatedly and left with a happy face. Morgan's agreement really made her feel pleasantly surprised.

After seeing Leah leave, Morgan's expression gradually turned cold. "Hmph, Guinevere, the Queen of Disaster who overturned Camelot in Merlin's prophecy, was originally the official wife of Altria. I didn't expect to meet her when Altria went back. I really want to see what kind of ability you have!

Although Merlin's prophecy had long been inaccurate because of Leah, Morgan still wanted to meet this woman and see what kind of abilities she had to make her sister so obsessed.

Morgan didn't believe that Leah could easily fall in love with a woman. After all, she was extremely beautiful. How much effort did she make to win Leah's heart?

Besides, as an emperor, Leah had seen all kinds of beauties. There were countless beautiful girls sent by envoys from various countries, but Leah had never been attracted by any of them.

So in Morgan's opinion, Guinevere must have great abilities, otherwise she wouldn't have attracted Leah to tell her about Guinevere for her.

After Guinevere was brought back by Leah, Morgan realized that she was wrong.

Leah, this fool, was really attracted by beauty. This Guinevere has no ability at all, she is just a pretty vase!

However, she had already agreed to let Leah bring Guinevere back, so naturally it was not a good idea to do anything to this woman, otherwise Leah would definitely realize that it was her who did it.

At this moment, Morgan just wanted to slap herself. Why did she agree to anything? Now, a vixen has moved into her house, and she can't help but swallow the bitter pill.

Soon, more than half a year passed.

Long Luxin has basically conquered half of Britain, and she has a lot more civil and military officials under her command. Seeing that she is on a good track, Leah no longer pays attention to her.

She called Liu Ye over and asked about the current development of other countries, such as the two great powers Rome and Persia.

She wanted to see if the two countries had learned everything about the Wu State. It would not be good if the other party copied everything.

Now the Jinyiwei's spies are not only in the country, but she has also deployed them abroad.

In response to Liya's question, Liu Ye replied quickly.

"Your Majesty, although they are indeed learning from our Wu country's system, they do not attach as much importance to scientific research and education as Your Majesty does. At most, they invest 4% of their fiscal budget into it."

When Leah heard this, she felt relieved.

With only 4% invested in scientific research and education, what can be discovered?

She has invested 20% in education alone, and 20% in scientific research, which is ten times the resources of others. If Wu State can't research anything good, then they should forget about it.

Although she said so, Leah also hoped that they could develop different things, such as future forms of entertainment for humans, such as televisions, instead of focusing solely on weapons research.

"How are the steam engines being improved now?" Leah asked again

"After so many years of improvement, today's steam engines are much better than before. Previously, steam trains could only travel 50 kilometers per hour, but now they can travel 80 kilometers per hour, which is almost twice as fast as the original steam trains."

Liu Ye replied immediately, and then said: "In addition to the steam engine, the efficiency of the textile machine has also been greatly improved. In short, your majesty's investment in scientific research over the years has paid off."

Leah nodded when she heard this. It was a good thing to have a reward. At the beginning, many people did not understand her huge investment in scientific research. If she had not been known as "wise and brave", this matter might not have been completely accomplished.

If there is only one shortcoming at present, it is the problem of electricity. Wu State is too large, and it is still very difficult to install electricity in every household.
