Putting down the Longyaling battle report, Owen fell into deep thought. How should he deal with the Bopang Empire?

After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind and called out: "Come here."

The personal guard outside the door immediately walked into the office, stroking his chest and saluted, and asked, "Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"

"You go to the town hall and call the Minister of Foreign Affairs here."

"As for the order." The personal guards received the order and retreated.

Before long, the Minister of Foreign Affairs hurried over and asked His Majesty what was wrong with him.

"Send an envoy to the Fagalan Alliance immediately and tell the leader of the Fagalan Alliance that our country is willing to join forces with them to deal with the Bopang Empire and curb the crazy expansion of the empire." Owen said with a serious expression.

It just so happened that the messenger of the Fagalan Alliance had sent a joint request to the Kingdom of Morning Light before, and Irving planned to accept the request.

The time to go to war will be chosen next spring.

By then, the Kingdom of Morning Light will launch a counterattack from the east, while the Fagalan Alliance will launch an attack from the south, attacking the Bopang Empire on both sides, leaving the opponent in a difficult situation of fighting on both sides.

If the Fajalan Alliance restrained some of the forces of the Popang Empire in the south, the People's Army's counterattack would be easier.

Of course, Irving also made some requests to the Fagaland Alliance, such as catching the second princess Triste Wells, which must be handed over to the Kingdom of Morning Light for disposal.

Triste committed an unforgivable felon in the southern border of the Morning Light Kingdom and had to be escorted back to trial in order to calm the anger of the people in the southern border.

Some people may wonder why the People's Army of the Morning Light Kingdom, which is obviously capable of annihilation of the army of the Bopang Empire alone, chose to join forces with the Fajialan Alliance?

In fact, Irving has some considerations when doing this.

The nature of this war is different from the past. Before Irving led the People's Army to fight, which was a civil war, with the purpose of unifying the Kingdom of Morning Light. After completion, we will govern the country.

And this time it was an attack on other countries, which obviously belonged to a foreign war.

If you defeat the Bopang Empire and pull the emperor down, you will be responsible for the defeated country. It is an extremely irresponsible way to let go.

How to be responsible? Is it directly occupied?

After swallowing the Bopang Empire, the Kingdom of Morning Light was undoubtedly the largest country in this continent.

Not to mention whether the people of the empire are willing to accept Irving's rule, other countries around will definitely be afraid of the Kingdom of Morning Light.

The Fajialan Alliance always wonders how to recover the lost land from the Bopang Empire. Even if the opponent is replaced by the Morning Light Kingdom, they probably won't give up.

Irving doesn't want to make relations so stale with other countries. He just wants to develop his own economy and let the people live a better life.

Similarly, even if you support a puppet on the stage, it may not be a good idea.

After thinking about it, Owen felt that it was safer to divide the Popang Empire with other countries. It could not only solve the current problems, but also not cause fear from other countries.

"Yes! Your Majesty."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs immediately responded and then left the office.

"well--"

After making the decision to conquer the Bopang Empire, Owen couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly: "There's a war again."

To be honest, he doesn't like war. Whether he wins or loses, he suffers from the vast number of innocent civilians.

Some people may say that since they love peace, why do they need to vigorously develop military weapons? Isn’t this a contradiction?

Regarding this, you have to figure out first. It is completely different from not having a sword or not.

The development of military weapons is to enhance the strength of the army and ensure the security of the country.

The country's military strength is weak, and it is useless to say that you like peace. If a great military power wants to hit you, it will hit you. What are you talking about? The reason is that you are hard.

Therefore, the development of military weapons is not contradictory to the love of peace. The key lies in whether the ruler is wary, and it has nothing to do with military weapons. After all, people use it.

Besides, Irving was unable to help but troubles came to him one by one. He had no choice but to face the challenge.

...

After the autumn harvest is completed, the third plenary session will be held in Dawn City.

This time the meeting was held a little later than last year because the various departments of the city hall were going to integrate reports sent from all over the country and report to Irving together.

In the conference room of the city hall, senior officials from various departments gathered together.

According to convention, the first report was Longfeld, Minister of Agriculture.

As Irving expected, the Kingdom of Morning Light ushered in another bumper year, and the country's total grain output hit a new high, reaching a height that no one present dared to imagine.

Some places never expected that the harvest this year would be so good. The existing granaries could not be installed. They had to urgently build new granaries. This kind of joy and worries had never been seen before.

In addition to the harvest, Longfeld also reported on the establishment of slime farms in various places.

With the efforts of Rhone and his apprentice, all work progressed smoothly.

As expected, next spring, they will be able to hand over the farm to the locals to manage and return to Dawn City. Maybe they can participate in next year's Spring Festival celebration.

After listening to Longfel’s report, Irving made new instructions to adjust and optimize the farming area of ​​different crops in various places.

For example, you can appropriately plant some cotton on the land that has just recovered from the land north of Fengsui City.

Are farmers worried that they will not be able to plant?

Then send officials from the Ministry of Agriculture to teach and take care of the church.

Worrying that the cotton grown cannot be sold, there is no income or low income?

It doesn't matter, the city hall will not only provide subsidies, but also buy them all. The purpose of these cotton has been planned.

In short, Irving's policy is to allow farmers to farm with confidence and boldness according to the needs of the country, without worrying about subsequent sales issues. These are all under the responsibility of the city hall.

Next is Education Minister Theresa.

Due to the rapid development of Dawn City in recent years, all walks of life need a large number of personnel, especially senior talents who know literacy and calculation.

Therefore, this year's graduates are very popular. Even if they fail to enter the city hall or the People's Army, they can easily find jobs elsewhere, and the employment rate is still 100%.

The problem is not without it.

For example, town halls in other places also built and established schools and actively recruited students.

However, in some places, the publicity work is not done properly and cannot recruit any students. Parents are willing to secretly send their children to the factory to make money, but they don’t want them to go to school, which makes them feel like they are wasting their time.

In other places, there are insufficient teacher resources, and a teacher has to lead several classes, so he is simply too busy to do it.

Regarding the former, Owen gave instructions, requiring the local city hall to strengthen supervision of factories, and once children's labor are found, they will be severely punished, so that factories will not dare to hire child labor.

Also, strengthen publicity work, send people to families who are unwilling to let their children go to school, do ideological work for their parents, and tell them that they have a future only if they study.

In the latter case, this problem is not easy to deal with.

Irving is preparing to introduce a policy to places with relatively sufficient teacher resources. For example, Dawn City, where local teachers are encouraged to go to places with insufficient teachers to carry out teaching work. The city hall will provide corresponding subsidies. The more remote the place you go, the higher the subsidies.

I hope this will attract some teachers to teach and alleviate the problem of imbalance in educational resources.

Of course, education is related to the future of the country. Irving said that he will continue to invest huge resources to support the development of education in various places.
