Clearly, what Losif harvested was not enough to serve him for an entire year thus, he would sometimes starve so that he could save food for the future. However, with the manure, Losif was sure that he would harvest more this year than how he used to, which put a smile on his face as he thanked king Virtya for coming up with such a genius idea of improving the soil quality.

On the other hand, Osip Minsky could not stop smiling after he was accepted to be one of the people who would be refurbishing the buildings that Whiddiff palace had set aside to be used as classrooms.

Osip together with some of the members of his gang had now managed to refurbish five buildings in Whiddiff city and they were always happy for Virtya's show of kindness because while in this work, they were given a satisfying lunch and a good salary which had enabled Osip to buy new clothes for himself and his family. 

On this day, Osip was among hundreds of workers who were stationed in a certain place in Pollow district so that they could refurbish one of the dilapidated building that used to be a home to the baron of that place. 

There were spider webs everywhere, shit, cracks around the walls and the building didn't even have a roof. Osip and his group would need to do the roofing, build some part of the walls and clean the building so that the instructors could be sent here to teach the students of this area.

"Pyotr, what do you think about what has been happening resently?" Osip asked his friend. Pyotr used to be a minion in his gang and they had survived a tough life together for so many years but Osip was beginning to feel that it had now reached a time where they would go their separate ways.

"Well... it is just that king Virtya has stopped being selfish and came back to help the people but for how long do you think this will last? I think Virtya is looking for something. He couldn't just wake up one day and say that our children must go to school... What is his plan? Errrmm... What is his end game? This is the question that you should be asking yourself. It is scary though. We don't know what is in his mind. Is he crazy because the kingdom is about to plunge or... I don't know." Pyotr shrugged his shoulders before he handed Osip a log.

"You have your own reasons as to why you are asking yourself those questions but I believe in Virtya. It is a feeling. I fee as if he has become a different person. I am sure he will bring this kingdom to prosperity the way he said it in Whiten."

Just like that, the classrooms in Pollow district were built and the farmers planted their crops. Fortunately, it was during the planting season that Virtya came up with the farming ideas.

It was mayhem in several places in Polkok district and Lithao province. 

Apparently, the people of Polkok district and Lithao province accepted to attend Vlad's meeting but they refused to follow his instructions when it came to planting their crops. This was because they were arrogant and they thought that it was time consuming to put putrid wastes on their farms.

 Furthermore, they thought that it defiled their crops when they were told to use animal and human shit to improve the soil of their lands. Nonetheless, at least the high priest was welcomed to their territory but when it came to Grisha's turn to visit Polkok, the denizens didn't even allow him to talk to them. 

Stones were pelted at Grisha and his aides which forced the knights who accompanied him to stop the meeting before it even started.

Furthermore, the people of Polkok brought down any structure that was marked to be used as classrooms for their children.

"Your majesty, what do we do? The surrounding provinces around Whiddiff city have welcomed and accepted the change but Lithao province and Polkok district have rejected the change." Grisha asked Virtya for what could be done to change the people's minds.

Right now, Virtya was seated at his office space while writing down what he was going to act as his next step of transforming the kingdom.

It could be seen that he had rolled so many papyrus papers and he was utterly tired but he didn't stop writing, he continued but Grisha's interference had distracted him from his meditation which forced him to stop what he was doing and listen to Grisha.
