Chapter 162: Ambition
This is why Renault is eager to expand his territory and needs more population. He needs to establish his own kingdom of gods on earth and provide him with a continuous reserve of faith power.
And it is not only because of the authority of the gods, but also the resources that Renault himself needs. After all, his small territory now does not seem small, but it is pitiful compared to any major.
If there wasn't an active volcano before, Reno would have wanted to take action against those human kingdoms. If it were the small fire-attribute magic crystal mine that was short of resources in the past, which had been mined for a long time now?
What a joke? With Renault's current body growth, he can completely consume a small magic crystal mine in one year.
Although the active volcano is still in an active state, Reno is sure that he can use it for thirty years if he saves some use.
But what about thirty years later?
So whether it is a war for faith or a war between resources and population!
Moreover, if he wanted to promote his beliefs, Renault could not operate according to the original system of the nobles in the Nolan continent who enfeoffed the territory. Otherwise, even if those people on the land were loyal to him, he would just change a noble team to temporarily take over the territory, and nothing had changed.
He was openly loyal to him, the great ruler, but in fact he was only loyal to the nobles in his respective territories. This was definitely not what Reno wanted. In this way, he could not get much practical faith at all, because it was not him who really dominated the lives of the serfs, but their lords and nobles.
In any case, in the future, the foundation of the traditional aristocratic system in his territory - land and population - must be changed from the root, and war is the opportunity to change everything.
Renault now considers two options.
The first plan is to send out the leaders of the entire Dragon King’s territory, let them thoroughly train the prisoners, and let the first batch of dragon citizens teach the population that was captured later.
However, this plan avoids different bloody suppression, because various riots will definitely occur in the process, and some corrupt nobles will definitely not be happy to lose their rights and interests completely.
Although this plan is relatively mild, it takes a long time, takes a lot of experience, and there will be many uncertain factors.
Not to mention that this plan requires enough manpower, because the direct war against the northern countries will definitely capture more people, which requires more manpower to teach them. In this way, there will definitely be insufficient manpower, and instability factors will increase.
And if anyone is asking for trouble in the future, it will definitely cause a very terrifying turmoil.
Therefore, Renault cannot choose this plan, he can only choose the second plan and choose the second one.
The second solution is to use a thorough bloody means to completely reshuffle the aristocratic class through war, and to punish some dissatisfied nobles as slaves or even kill them directly. The nobles who choose to surrender will confiscate 90% of the other party's assets, and at the same time, take back all the other party's territory and political rights.
Just let them retain the title of nobles, of course, for some upstarts who actively surrender and strive to integrate into the new dragon system, Renault will give the other party a new rights to the dragon system.
Of course, before, the aristocratic system of feudal system would be completely replaced under the jurisdiction of Renault. No matter how high a position is, Renault would not distribute too many rights and interests. He needs a dictatorship, and he needs to continue to implement it completely below!
In this magical world, and in order to quickly improve his own faith, Renault felt that it was impossible to use the advanced political system as in his previous life to establish a larger country. For Renault, it was just a way to increase his power.
Naturally, only dictatorship can form a personal worship. He needs to establish a kingdom of gods on earth, which is necessary.
Because God's Word cannot be violated!
In this way, Renault not only ensures control over most of the territory, but also the resources distributed in various places will be fully developed and continuously sent to his treasure house.
Of course, the pressure to face is still great, and this may face the counterattack of many nobles from the northern countries, but Renault has a full reason to do so, and he is confident that he has this strength!
"What do you think about the Kingdom of Thorns?"
Renault temporarily came back from his thoughts, looked down at William who was becoming more respectful below, and pondered for a moment.
Renault temporarily came back from his thoughts, looked down at William who was becoming more respectful below, and pondered for a moment.
"this...."
William was a little confused. Many thoughts appeared in his mind in an instant. The first thing that emerged was that the master was teaching himself? Or was the master interested in the Kingdom of Thorns? Want to take action against the Kingdom of Thorns?
But the national strength of the Kingdom of Thorns is not comparable to that of the Iron and Steel Principality, but if the master has an idea, there may be nothing wrong with it!
William's unconscious thoughts now have changed from wanting to become a Dragon Knight at first, to wanting to become the most loyal slave of his master!
"Great Master! Your humble servant feels...that we want to take revenge!" William said with his head down, as if he was finding the point, and hurriedly said: "Yes! We want to take revenge! We must teach them a harsh lesson against those cunning and despicable thorn kingdoms, great masters!"
"Um.!"
However, the answer to William was not to praise him, but Renault nodded lightly, and then the dragon wrapped in dark red scales spoke again:
"How much do you know about the Kingdom of Thorns? Their population, their resources, their territory!"
William suddenly realized and also breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the master wanted to understand the local situation of the Thorn Kingdom, but it turned out that the master had an idea about the Thorn Kingdom!
"Great Master! I don't know much about the Kingdom of Thorns, I only know some of their general situations. It is said that their land is wider than the five major iron priests, their land is fertile, and gold mines are said to be everywhere on the ground.
Of course, these are all said by those idiots who are kind to yearn for the Kingdom of Thorns. However, it is true that they produce potions. Their fertile land and special climate are very suitable for a kind of potion, the reproduction of Black Moon Bauhinia, which has become a very special source of wealth in the Kingdom of Thorns. It is said that the profit generated by the potions made by Black Moon Bauhinia is enough to support the ten large legions of the Kingdom of Thorns!
Their population is seven times that of the Iron Duchy, but there is no difference between their serfs and the Iron Duchy, and they are both poor guys who eat black bread."
