Your notoriety is known to everyone.

Elena's response was the same. Although she showed disgust on the surface, she was very cooperative in her actions.

“Wealth, status, power, glory, everything that nobles pursue, I can give you, and I can also make concessions on the high degree of autonomy of the East Territory for you.

“Rogers Braid, everyone has unique talents, and as a leader, I am willing to provide people with the right opportunities so that they can shine as they should.

"But you are very special. Your light is too dazzling, or it is not an exaggeration to say that it is blinding. If you cannot stand in the right position, you will only attract people who hate your light and try to make you dim again."

Pertus clasped his fingers together, rested his elbows on the table between them, and gave Rogers sincere admonitions and advice.

“People who lack self-awareness first misjudge their own abilities and then misjudge the abilities of others, thus immediately inviting failure when they try to accomplish something.

"Your Highness, you are excellent. You are excellent enough to make up for many shortcomings that are fatal to others. But it is this excellence that is even more fatal."

Rogers' eyes were gentle and sincere, and his voice was soft and steady, as if he was gazing at a good friend, and he slowly responded with his own warning.

The ability of the first prince is unquestionable, but he has a shortcoming that is very similar to the second prince, which is "naivety".

This naivety did not cause him any major setback at first, simply because he was good enough, so good that he was not afraid to expose his true thoughts.

Even because of his innocence, he is able to constantly gain all kinds of talented people who truly follow him.

But at the same time, it was his naivety that gave the third prince the opportunity to ascend the throne.

But unlike the second prince, the first prince is very aware of his own naivety, but is unwilling to make up for his shortcomings, which earned him the strange title of "a perfect thing full of flaws."

"Please forgive my arrogance." Pertus hesitated for a moment after hearing this. He apologized and slowly stood up, with deep regret and sorrow on his face.

"If it weren't for the blood barrier, we would have become the closest of friends, and have a friendship that would be envied by the world.

“Rogers, I sincerely hope that you can achieve greater success in Saint Herte, but I also hope that you will only stay in Saint Herte. In that case, we may still have a chance to establish friendship.

“When I return to the imperial capital, I will ask the parliament to speed up the patent bill. At that time, I will include your many achievements in it and make you get the wealth you deserve.

“When you are on your way to the teleportation array in the southern border, you can use the Saint’s relationship to have the Pantheon stay close to the guards and be on guard against the rats that have infiltrated Earl Hutton’s escort team.

“Praise your wisdom, and may your glory shine forever.”

Pertus realized that it was useless to stay any longer, so after making his sincere proposal and blessing, he also left the reception room.

Rogers looked at the other person's disappearing back and shook his head slightly. He was very resistant to Pertus, but he did not have too much ill feelings towards him. He just couldn't help but sigh at the complexity and diversity of human beings.

"Are you still angry?"

He looked back at Elina. From last night till now, she had been emitting an aura of displeasure towards him.

"Although I don't know what I did wrong, I am willing to apologize to you at this moment."

Rogers thought about it for a moment. After all, the other party had just helped him, so he generously expressed his apology with all his effort.

"My mood has already improved a lot." Elina took a deep breath, slowly clenched her fists, and glanced at Rogers beside her.

"Ah, time to eat." Rogers glanced at the sky outside the window, stood up as if nothing had happened, and then walked out of the house quickly, and Elena followed closely behind him.

Earl Hutton was walking in the courtyard. He had just finished visiting his daughter and was grateful to Derek for his care and concern for Eunice. Suddenly, he saw Elena chasing Rogers and quickly flashing past him.

"You don't have to worry about it. This is normal." Derek saw Earl Hutton's hesitation and took the initiative to explain.

"Hmm..." Earl Hutton nodded slightly with a complicated expression.

……

The next day, Logos followed the First Prince's advice and asked the Pantheon to escort them back to Saint Herta.

Before the rat on the way could jump out, it was pulled out and captured by the knight specially placed by Rogers because of the reminder given to Earl Hutton.

Eunice and Pasima showed no more abnormalities after fainting for a night, and they expressed their gratitude to Alice, Rogers and Elina for their help.

Accompanied by the gentle breeze, late spring gradually turns into early summer.

After Rogers learned that the patent bill had been finalized, he admired the efficiency of the First Prince and also gained a steady stream of currency.

However, for him, the heir to a great noble family and a student of Saint Herta, these monies were not of much use, so he just gave them to his family to help manage and never asked about them again.

During this period, he also received a letter of thanks from the Textile Association for the improvements made to textile machines by the gear structure.

In addition to the Textile Association, there were countless production associations that sent him letters, but the textile association reminded him of his thoughts when he first saw the college uniform, so he used his lecturer's privileges to change it into a windbreaker style.

In addition, he also sent various prototype clothing samples of suits from his previous life to the Textile Association, and received more gratitude from the other party.

Seeing the good feedback, he sent many ideas about hats, shirts, vests, shoes and pants, etc.

In his subsequent reply, in addition to extensive praise and the promise of patent fees and large gifts, he also sent many sample clothes made according to Rogers's ideas.

"Great! How did you come up with so many beautiful and convenient clothes, Rogers?"

In the living room of the wooden house, Lufia was wearing a painter's hat, a sleeveless jacket with many pockets, a white shirt underneath, and a pair of cropped trousers.

She stood happily in front of a full-length mirror, turned her body to observe the appearance of the clothes, and asked Rogers who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa.

"Not bad." Rogers held a large book in his hand. He glanced at Lufia, who was dressed like a little newspaper boy. He did not answer the question, but made a casual comment.

"Have you imagined this long ago?"

Elina, who was sitting next to Rogers, was holding a newspaper. She glanced at him and saw that he didn't look surprised or surprised at all, so she asked tentatively.

"The reduction in textile costs will certainly be accompanied by a significant reduction in the price of civilian clothing, and market demand will inevitably continue to increase. Your simple, pleasing and practical designs will definitely become popular among the people quickly.

"It's so smooth. What exactly do you plan to make the future world look like? How many things are hidden in your mind?"

Seeing that Rogers still had no reaction, Elina raised her hand and gently pinched his cheek and pulled it, her amber eyes gradually filled with curiosity.

"I just wanted to make myself feel better at first, not to talk about the future or the world. I didn't think too much about it at first."

Rogers' eyes were still on the book. He let Elena pull him without any further reaction.

The clothing style was just the result of him casually replying to letters in his spare time. Relying on the memory he gained from watching videos in his previous life, it didn't take him much time to come up with the design drawings.

As for market changes and the like, he would not have thought about it if Elena hadn't mentioned it.

"But speaking of the future, I will touch on some of it in my next two speeches."

After Elina withdrew her hand, Rogers added.

In the afternoon, he would go to a small open-air podium on the north side of St. Herte to give a speech. One speech would be for many mathematicians, inventors and other academicians from outside, and the other would be for tutors from various colleges.

The former was organized by Saint Herte due to the continuous fermentation of external public opinion, and the latter was a necessary process for Logos to obtain the lecturer position.

After filling his stomach with a few pastries for lunch, Rogers headed to the north side of Saint Herte.

He walked alone on the campus, his windbreaker-style uniform fluttering slowly in the breeze as he walked.

When he arrived at the podium, he found that the stepped seats in front of the stage were filled with not only outsiders of different ages and clothing, but also many professors and mentors.

“Dear guests, I am Rogers Brid. Thank you for coming. It is my honor to share my thoughts with you.”

Rogers bowed and recalled that the last time he was here was when he was facing members of the magic school that was responsible for the birth of linguistics, and then he slowly began his speech.

“I have not seen further than others, but because I stand on the shoulders of giants.

“It is only by relying on the achievements of those who came before me that I can come up with so-called groundbreaking ideas by picking up and piecing together.

"It just so happens that we are all gathered here. I don't want to give mechanical answers one after another. Instead, I want to express more ideas and raise more questions..."

Seeing that everyone seemed ready to listen attentively, Rogers raised his hand, lightly supported his monocle, and began to chant at length.

Regarding mathematics, he combined the coordinate system released not long ago and proposed speculative concepts that tend to be derivatives and integrals. He also said frankly that he has always fantasized about the future after the unification of the two branches of algebra and geometry, and imagined the birth of more advanced mathematical tools.

Regarding the invention, he first described in detail the use of cylinders, pistons, connecting rods and crankshafts, and from time to time asked the many inventors and craftsmen present for their opinions on this.

In addition, there are rollers that can separate fibers and cotton, and whether steel bars can be added to make concrete more stable...

Even the mathematicians who originally came here just for mathematics were unconsciously immersed in the future described by Rogers.

Combined with Rogers's youthful voice, it all sounds like a child's wild fantasy about the future, but upon closer thought, they discover that perhaps some of it can actually be realized.

As the sun began to set, the sky was slowly tinged with soft shades of orange, pink and purple.

Rogers' throat became dry, but he continued to talk about various fantasies.

These concepts and ideas will help improve productivity. Once productivity is greatly improved and the pie called profit continues to expand, it will inevitably lead to the rise of a large class that was notorious in the previous life.

The gentry at the bottom of the nobility will also usher in a major reshuffle, either rising higher or falling to nothing.

Even in this world where great power belongs to itself, the top ruling class may not fall, but it is bound to be greatly shaken as the foundation changes.

From citizens, to gentry, to local lords, and then to great lords and members of parliament.

Prosperity, prosperity that the royal family could hardly control, was being brought to this land by Rogers.

“There are only a few magicians like us, but they can allow ordinary citizens to do things that seem like magic.

"From theory to power source to specific mechanical structure, I have countless questions and ideas, and I also look forward to countless answers."

Rogers' silver hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and his eyes were full of desire and pursuit.

He stretched out his arms, with the setting sun and golden afterglow behind him, and looked at the people in front of him with a smile on his face.

Chapter 4: All it takes is a surly fiancée to make you a sage (2k)

Rogers's voice was melodious, and it touched the hearts of everyone in the seats on the steps with the evening breeze.

When his voice faded away, there was silence, as if time had stopped at this moment. The audience was as calm as a lake, their thoughts still immersed in Rogers' words, drifting with their imagination.

After a long time, an extremely powerful applause rang out, followed by thunderous praise and applause. Many people stood up excitedly and cast glances of amazement and admiration.

They only felt that the boy's eyes were shining with bright sparks, as if they contained the wisdom of the entire world.

There were also several reporters mixed in, constantly taking notes or sketching.

The sunset and the hustle and bustle kept emphasizing to them that the scene before them might be the most important one they would witness in their careers.

Rogers looked up at the sky and felt that he was a little too excited. After all, this was not the only speech he would give.

He put his hands down, asking the audience to be quiet, then cleared his throat slightly and continued:

“Next, I need to finish my role as Saint Herte’s lecturer and give a speech to my mentor.

“As all the mentors and professors are present here, I would like to share my views on education and hope to help the guests here to teach their apprentices more effectively.

“Just like to see the mountains, we need to go to the plains, and to see the plains, we need to climb the mountains.

“So it is the mentor who should understand the apprentice, and I also want to get to know the mentor from the apprentice’s perspective.

“Therefore, I want to point out that once we know a certain knowledge, we cannot imagine what it would be like without it. I call it the curse of knowledge.

"When a mentor teaches an apprentice, he or she will inevitably encounter this kind of trouble, but he or she often fails to discover this trouble..."

The previous speech had factors that could make the royal family flustered as time went on, but this time, Rogers only needed to prove himself a little and didn't need to be as serious as before.

Therefore, he talked about the psychology of the mentor, the psychology of the apprentice, and then how to describe consciousness, study consciousness, recognize consciousness and other messy things.

It also specifically explains what the "subconscious" is, as well as the various research focuses and methods used to analyze psychology that were more famous in several psychoanalytic and psychological schools in the past.

However, just like not long ago, his words only contained a number of directions, without any actual systematic theory. There were only some fragmentary and unfounded broken concepts and conjectures mixed in.

But even so, it was enough to make everyone in the audience even more dumbfounded.

"Our minds have infinite potential, but I have rarely seen manuals that truly teach how to understand and use it from a simple perspective, except for mental magic. I really hope that a new research will emerge in the future with this as the mainstay."

The setting sun completely disappeared, and the dark sky dispersed the afterglow. In this boundless background, the stars began to show their own brilliance and silence.

A young reporter with scraggly brown hair had long forgotten to record. He had traveled from his imagination of the material world to the vast ocean of spirit and consciousness, which made him want to work harder to absorb the inspiration and wisdom from the words.

When Rogers showed that he had finished his speech, he couldn't wait to ask loudly:

"Hello! My name is Walker! I would like to ask you, what is the reason that enables you to acquire so much wisdom at this age? And show the talent comparable to that of a sage?"

Walker's abruptness caused all his colleagues to look at him with disgust. Many people from other schools around him could not help but frown, but everyone remained silent, also looking forward to the answer to this question.

Rogers adjusted his monocle slightly, and a famous quote from Socrates came to his mind, and he smiled and replied:

"Go get engaged! If you meet a good fiancée, you will be very happy; if you meet a bad-tempered fiancée, then you will also have the opportunity to become a sage."

When everyone heard this teasing answer, they were stunned at first, and then many of them burst into prolonged laughter.

Rogers then answered or discussed many questions that many people had about the content of the speech.

Not until the starlight grew brighter did he return to his cabin, touching his growling stomach.

……

Sunset Speech became the title of Rogers' speech to people from all walks of life that day. His figure with arms outstretched and the setting sun against his back was also distributed throughout the empire along with many newspapers and periodicals.

After that, following the arrival of midsummer, there was also a wave called the "Dawn Movement".

Countless scholars and inventors rushed towards the grand blueprint drawn by Rogers, and the gentry closest to the grassroots, after smelling the huge benefits that might exist in it, also showed their kindness and generosity, and began to invest extensively in invention experiments, further pushing the movement to a climax.
