I Become a Landlady in the Game World

After Morrison left, he took a long breath where he stood, adjusted his mood, and followed directly.

Although his proposal was not adopted by his father, he had to admit that Hope Village had shown him many new things.

Learning a bit of it would be beneficial for managing his subordinates and conducting business in the future.

He might be an illegitimate child, but as long as he was strong enough, he believed his father would give him more opportunities.

By the time Marquis Boyer's entourage entered the school for a visit,

Viscount Conrad and the others had also come all the way from the Lord Mansion in Hope Village.

A seriousness crept across the faces of the few nobles.

It was really because Hope Village had refreshed their values to the core.

"I originally thought that Hope Village had a unique flair in business, but I didn't expect them to dare such innovation in internal governance."

"Yes! Public examinations! Giving those ordinary residents a chance to get involved in governance."

"How good it would be to use this to exchange favors!"

"Could it be that the Lord of Hope Village doesn't know about this? If not, someone should remind him."

"But who is the Lord of Hope Village? How shall we inform him?"

"It's obvious that Hope Village is planning to do exactly this."

"Yes! Schools are admitting children from the age of six, regardless of identity or race."

"..."

After chatting a while, they all fell silent.

Hope Village really dared!

"Speaking of which, I'm somewhat tempted. Students who study in this way will definitely have a solid knowledge base in the future and could handle affairs for the territory. I only have a small territory. Although I've sold quite a few positions before, those people's work abilities are not that great. Several times they have even dragged down my territory," Viscount Chaplin of Zakli Village deliberated before speaking.

He became a lord by chance, and although there was family support, his family was relatively small, and he didn't dare trust certain elders too much, so he was basically relying on himself.

Therefore, he could understand the feeling of being unable to support it all alone.

However, after seeing the model of Hope Village, he felt it suited him—an individual without reliance or entanglements. As long as he held the identity of the lord and the military power of the territory, the territory would be firmly under his control, and he could rest assured to let capable people below handle affairs.

"I think it's pretty good. If I had a territory, I'd be willing to do the same," Baron Barton chimed in.

As for Viscount Conrad and Viscount Keynes, they remained silent; they were well aware that their position as lords depended on their families, and some positions in their territories had to reciprocate their families and those who supported them.

If they dared to act like that, they risked being sidelined in an instant.

"Chaplin, you could give it a try," Viscount Keynes said to Chaplin.

"Yes! Let us see if a territory governed in this way can actually work," Viscount Conrad agreed.

"This Hope Village is telling us that it works! Hope Village is really good. As long as there are no accidents, it may create a territory with a distinctive style if it continues to develop," Chaplin said.

"But the success of Hope Village doesn't just rely on this method; it's also dependent on the residents of their territory. Some of them are just like Hope Village, having descended onto Stan Continent suddenly two months ago, perhaps from another dimension. They might have lived in such an environment, which is why there is so much novelty. And... hmmph, such disrespect," Conrad remembered the residents who had mocked him before and still couldn't help but snort.

They had never been so sarcastically treated in other territories!

Not to mention, the way those people looked at them was just like watching a play, as if they had some serious illness.

Thinking about it made him mad!

If they hadn't been in someone else's territory, he would have definitely taught them a lesson.

Now, looking at it, the ideas and education of Hope Village were entirely different from theirs from the very beginning.

These people were the most fundamental composition of Hope Village. Those who joined later were also being continuously influenced by them.

That's why there were people who would unconsciously kneel down to pay their respects to the Marquis, and similarly, there were those who stood up on their own after being addressed by others.

Although he didn't like to admit it, the people of Hope Village were more like individuals with independent thoughts.

Of course, as nobles, they did not like such people.

"So let me give it a try!" Chaplin said; he too was hoping his territory could grow stronger through this method.

Of course, it was not something that could be achieved overnight.

The others understood too.

After a while, Viscount Keynes said, "If Hope Village succeeds, and you succeed too, then the world will have a new development model. Whether that's good or bad, who knows?"

As they spoke, it happened to be the time when the school was being let out. A group of children came out of the school, walking in groups on the pedestrian path specially set up by Hope Village.

Among them were human children as well as beastman and Goblin Clan offspring, each with a bright smile on their face.

Viscount Keynes' expression paused for a moment.

Anyway, for now, Hope Village looked pretty good... full of vitality.
