As the sea gates were opened and the water gates were breached, the seemingly impregnable defense of Demacia's capital was completely torn open.
Along this gap, subsequent Northern Walkers entered Xiongdu City in a steady stream and suddenly attacked the remaining defenders on the city wall.
The defenders wanted to recapture this section of the city wall, but unfortunately, this was already impossible - after the gap was opened, they could not even organize an effective defense. Under the offensive of the Northern Walkers, Green Teeth
Although the Peak Army and the Tobitsia Army could not be said to be defeated at the first touch, at least they were quickly chaotic.
At this point, Northern Walkers can basically declare that they have completely occupied the capital of Demacia.
However, Lux knew in her heart that the military occupation was just the beginning. In comparison, what was more important was how to bring the capital under a new order.
Demacia is a city, and the occupation and planning of the city are completely different from those of the vast rural areas.
Even as the capital of Demacia, the largest city in Demacia, the third largest port in Demacia, and the traditional political, economic and cultural center of Demacia, it itself and all the cities occupied by the Northern Walkers along the way are
no the same.
In other places, once the Northern Walkers start judging nobles and allocating land, they will quickly gain the support of the local people - but in cities, since most citizens do not know how to farm, the distribution is concentrated on the noble properties.
Most of the aristocratic industries were taken back to the government, and a small part was broken up and distributed to relevant practitioners. Each city imitated the northern region and formed industry associations to implement the transition. Everywhere the army went, clerks would be stationed to popularize the law and maintain
Order, register population.
From the beginning, Lux's attitude was very clear. She only targeted the big nobles and big lords. For the noble branches and those responsible for maintaining the rule of the nobles, they would be punished if guilty and acquitted if not guilty, and they would be employed equally.
Under this policy, Lux used a relatively small number of manpower to quickly stabilize the order in the occupied area.
However, the situation in the capital of Demacia is very different from that of all cities in the past.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Capital City of Demacia is the only place in the entire Demacia, other than Forsbarrow, that can be called "urban culture".
In Xiongdu, the gathering of a large number of nobles provided an astonishing number of service positions, and the emergence of the Royal Trade Fair also made Xiongdu's commodity economy prosperous unlike Demacia.
In other cities, merchants are the lubricant that maintains the normal functioning of society. Even in a northern pearl like Mithril City, the proportion of merchants is not too high, and most of them are grain merchants and distributors of local specialty products.
Other merchants are engaged in wholesale of daily necessities.
Although the number of these merchants is not small, they cannot be regarded as the main body of a city, because in addition to the attributes of merchants, they also have a significant attribute that cannot be ignored as service personnel, serving the radiation range of the surrounding cities.
's countryside.
In other words, in Demacia, most cities are "service centers" for the surrounding villages. The functions of the cities are highly bound to the needs of the surrounding villages, although many people seem to be divorced from agricultural production.
, but in essence, they are still serving agriculture.
There are also only a few specialty product industries and local handicraft industries that have nothing to do with local agricultural production.
However, in the capital of Demacia, the situation is completely different.
Living in the capital is not easy.
More than half of the nobles in Demacia are gathered here, giving rise to a citizen culture that is completely unknown elsewhere in Demacia.
Moreover, before the start of Shurima trade, the capital of Demacia was the largest trading city in the entire Demacia. The royal trade brought the specialties of the entire Demacia to the city and its residents and nobles.
.
From the beginning, the capital city of Demacia was not a city serving the surrounding countryside.
It is the capital, political, economic and cultural center of this country!
In the capital, in addition to nobles, soldiers, and servants, there are also millions of handicraft practitioners, businessmen from all over the world, foreign travelers, poets and musicians, small traders, and so on.
The former provides a broad service market, while the latter is a service provider.
From this perspective, the capital of Demacia also radiates surrounding areas, but unlike other cities, it radiates throughout Demacia in the cultural and political fields.
(Well, yes, there is a city in the North that has a similar function, and that is Forsbarrow, which radiates throughout the North.)
Therefore, when dealing with such a large city, Lux has to consider far more than elsewhere.
In other Demacia cities, the elimination of nobles means the elimination of rentiers, which means there is a vacancy in supervision and power. As long as the laws are clarified and industry associations are organized, the order and functions of the city can be quickly restored.
However, in the capital of Demacia, the elimination of nobles not only means the elimination of rentiers, but also the elimination of the consumer market.
The vitality of countless Xiongdu people is closely related to the nobility. Without the consumption of the nobility, no matter how carefully Lux maintains it, some industries will quickly become rootless water and shrink and disappear.
The simplest example is that in the capital of Demacia, there are three construction teams that specialize in building manors for nobles. They have designers and engineers. They have rich engineering experience, and many of them have amazing artistic levels.
After the aristocracy is finished, these people can almost be declared unemployed.
Although in theory, they can freely transform and build houses for ordinary people, it is obvious that compared with the cheap and affordable prices of ordinary construction teams, their architectural style is too expensive for ordinary people. If they are allowed to do so,
Without free competition and transformation, even if these people can stoop down and make a living for themselves, the inheritance of Demacian classical architecture may face the risk of being discontinued.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is not difficult to capture the heroes of Demacia.
The difficult thing is how to smoothly digest the capital of Demacia and absorb the positive nutrients in this city for your own use!
In order to establish order in Forsbarrow, Lux took the demon-stained ones who had not yet become the Dharma Controllers and worked outside the city for a winter. Finally, they successfully built an artificial lake, demonstrating their determination to change the northern border.
, which also gave the people of Forsbarrow some trust and expectation in her.
And now, she wants to show her sincerity again in the capital of Demacia.
Demacia's capital cities are more complex.
But this time, Lux has more people around her.
……………………
After the battle was basically over, Lux did not give a winner's speech in the grand square.
In the past few months, the nobles in the capital of Demacia have been promoting the terror and barbarity of the Northerners. Although the Northern Walkers have very strict military discipline, Lux does not want to cause any panic, so in addition to controlling the key
Except for some necessary personnel, Northern Walkers did not enter the city on a large scale.
It even seems that the entire city of Demacia has not changed much from the past, except that all entries and exits must be carefully scrutinized.
Lux herself has a certain reputation in Xiongdu, so after entering Xiongdu City, she immediately convened a meeting of representatives of the Northern Pioneers, organized members of the Northern Pioneers among the Northern Walkers and army clerks, and went deep into Xiongdu City.
All walks of life in the capital began to conduct in-depth investigations.
Understand the situation of each industry, understand the industry rules of each industry, understand the upstream and downstream fields of each industry...
After ten days of silent investigation, Lux finally came forward in person and invited prestigious people from various fields in the city to participate in a symposium to discuss issues related to restoring order in the capital.
Although he had many doubts in his heart, the person who received the invitation from Lux still participated in the symposium.
At the meeting, Lux pointed out straight to the point that the purpose of this symposium was "how to maintain the steady development of various industries in the capital while eliminating the nobility."
To be honest, after hearing Lux's words, although there was no emotion on his face, in the eyes of most industry leaders, this was nonsense and pure fart.
No more consumption by aristocratic men...
Your industry must reduce its size by at least two-thirds!
If the nobles are not tired of exquisite food, how can the catering industry in the capital of Demacia maintain its current astonishing scale?
It’s not that nobles pursue fame and prestige, how can artists in the capital of Demacia eat and drink so easily?
If it weren’t for the nobles who needed clothes and decorations, could the number of tailors working in the capital of Demacia exceed 10,000 people?
It seems that those nobles before were really not lying. This former noble lady must have been stimulated by something!
People always think about problems from their own perspective.
Most Demacian citizens are beneficiaries of the aristocratic system. Compared with the majority of Demacian peasants living in the countryside, their living standards are more favorable, and they have no hostility towards the aristocrats, and may even be concerned about the possibility of ruining their jobs.
They still have a vague dislike for the northerners.
This does not mean that they are naturally the lackeys of the nobility and need to be eliminated together with the nobility. This is an objective fact determined by their industry and source of livelihood.
People always have to eat!
Looking at the silent crowd, Lux, who already knew what was going on, quickly made her first move.
Although the noble market is about to end, at the same time the market in the north is also opening!
Although Fosbairo now has a citizen culture with northern characteristics, it is still immature in many aspects due to its short time, and many industries are starting from scratch. In this case, if someone is willing to go north,
They will face a vast blue ocean!
Does this cake taste good?
Very fragrant.
Although these participants currently do not understand the difference between the Northern Territory and Xiongdu, nor do they understand that clerks, Northern Territory Walkers and Law Enforcers are not new nobles, this does not prevent them from understanding based on their existing knowledge.
The meaning of Lux.
In their view, this country must have a manager, just like Laxana came to power after Jarvan IV stepped down. If the nobles step down, then a new noble will come to power. If Lady Laxana is really willing to take care of us,
If I put aside my political stance and open up the market for the new aristocracy...
So whose money is not earned?
Moreover, according to Lux, it seems that many industries in the north are still in their infancy. If you participate in them at this time, you might have the potential to engulf the world?
Ignoring the emotions on everyone's faces, Lux quickly started her second move.
Industry transformation.
Although the consumption power in the North is also good, and with the subsequent expansion of Demacia's magic industrialization, the consumption power of Demacia as a whole will inevitably increase, there are still many industries that are destined to be hit.
Under this circumstance, Lux hopes to discuss the transformation of these industries through consultations between the government and industry representatives.
Just like the noble manor construction industry mentioned before - after the army continues to move south and captures Tobitsia, Demacia will inevitably expand the production of forbidden magic stones. By then, the forbidden magic stone processing industry will be very lacking.
manpower.
You must know that the Forbidden Demon Stone processing industry planned by Lux and Kalya is not as simple as the current primary processing of calcining the Forbidden Demon Tree and lime into the Forbidden Demon Stone. The follow-up will inevitably include a universal circuit for the Forbidden Demon Stone Slate.
Basic processing, construction of giant forbidden magic stone statues, automatic tool processing of forbidden magic stones, etc.
Among them, in the field of construction of giant forbidden demon stone statues, those senior builders who are accustomed to building beautiful manors for noble gentlemen can do many jobs that ordinary people cannot do.
As for sculpture artists in Xiongdu, if they do not have a deep pursuit of art, they can also consider transforming into basic processing work of universal magic circuits of forbidden magic stone slabs - the number of magicians is limited, and this simple magic circuit has a dedicated
If you are a processor, you will save a lot of effort.
After doing her homework, Lux came up with a detailed list of more than a hundred subdivided industries that could be transformed according to preliminary assessment.
If the previous open market may still be a mere painting, then this detailed list and transformation content can show Lux’s sincerity to a certain extent-although for many new industries on Lux’s list
The specific content is not very familiar, but after getting the list, everyone can at least understand the technical requirements.
It is clear at a glance what skills you have mastered so far are useful and what skills you still need to learn.
If Lux was really deceiving people, then, apart from anything else, this list alone would have cost her a lot of money to deceive people.
Finally, while these people were still thinking about the items on the list, Lux dropped a bombshell.
She's going to host an industry-wide competition.
Right in the Grand Plaza, citizens are allowed to visit and all practitioners are free to sign up for the industry competition!
Since the world needs to be changed, the authority of the past is not necessarily the real authority. Determined to take the essence and discard the dross, Lux is willing to allocate valuable manpower to host an industry competition to select those who are willing to devote themselves to the construction of New Demacia.
