Chapter 30 Chapter 2943 The strategic layout of large industry
590 years after the Aegis Calendar, the north of the kingdom has encountered special weather in recent years. The cold air from the north has destroyed large areas of wheat fields, which has made the price of food in the north very high. Since the northern trolls have also begun to invade in recent years, the kingdom has
The situation became unsettled. Although the farmers who fled to the hinterland of the kingdom were nominally settled, they actually looked for berries in the bushes and made a living by digging tubers and other food. Compared with their relatives who fled to the Tomorrow Territory, these farmers
Life is quite hard.
Take the Iron Stone Fortress as an example. Although the kingdom re-cultivated 6,000 hectares of nearby land after the war, these lands were abandoned in the past and were buffer zones for human gatherings and alien races such as ogres, porcupines and goblins.
Therefore, the farm is often destroyed. Not to mention that there are no water conservancy facilities, and the harvest is completely dependent on the sky. Now the sky is not showing favor, and after the frost, there is a continuous lack of rain.
Therefore, when the Tomorrow Leader announced the policy of recovering the South and would invest a large amount of military (the rows of mechanized vehicles in the newspaper) and agricultural resources (Elf Planting Experts spoke one after another), it began to compete with the Kingdom for the hearts and minds of the people.
Even though the lords have ownership rights (strong personal control) over the people in their territories, when they hear that their old homeland has been restored, this feeling of longing will still turn into pressure on the lords.
So this time, the kingdom finally sent an envoy in a serious manner. But this time they ran into a fleet of transparent lights on the Mingda River.
Her Royal Highness Princess Losuna, who was riding a gryphon, looked at this mighty fleet and murmured to herself: "What are you doing?"
Of course, the gryphon was quickly intercepted by a helicopter in the sky and landed on the ship's hull. On the steam ship, sailors in white uniforms operated the steering wheel and rudder, while magic puppets were responsible for transporting cargo along the ship's tracks.
Compared with the destroyed land on both sides of the river, the atmosphere on the steamship is relatively relaxed. There is an Eye of True Seeing suspended at the top of the ship's central mast, scanning the world on a large scale.
…Tomorrowland has gone beyond the kingdom system…
Under feudal rules, the central government only granted titles, and small lords developed the area in the name of big lords.
But if there is a name but no resources, there will be only a few towns in a huge fiefdom. This situation has happened before.
Historically, when the kingdom encountered a war and certain dukes and marquis whose families were in decline lost power, the strength of the surrounding earls became stronger.
When the cities of the vassals may be richer than the urban areas of the great lord, then it is possible to defy the upper class.
If the kingdom to which the great nobles are attached is still strong, the lower nobles still have to abide by their names, but what if the kingdom as a whole declines?
Eyuan solemnly said to Xia Sheng: "The crown is currently declining, but it is still the crown. This crown inherits the inertial thinking of many people in this plane. As a subordinate, if you want to challenge the superior, you will also face other people who are loyal to the royal power.
Noble crusade."
Eryuan's development of marginal lands was based on imperial edicts but not declarations, and was only semi-independent. With the current power of the Tomorrow Territory, it would be possible to win a direct conflict with the kingdom, and it would indeed be possible to significantly increase the land and population after winning.
But Eryuan silently gave himself a reason to be "conservative": Even if our territory wins, what should we do next? How to fill the vacuum with a new order? Directly replace it? It is too difficult for a small tribe to conquer a large country. And we must know
, this plane has always had demons, undead, mage towers and other forces that can come up at any time to fill the power vacuum after the collapse of the kingdom.
Even if it is not annexation but gradual encroachment, tomorrow's leader will still face many problems in its growth and development.
Gee, according to the human preference for first-come, first-served, seniority, Tomorrow Leader is still too young. Its freshman system has not been tested by time and is easily doubted by experienced members.
The Kingdom now opens the window of "Doubts about the Young Master" and will carry out many traditional investigations on the Tomorrow Leader.
For example, Earl Brandt's family is now being instigated to try to support Jie Li's distant cousin, a mage in the kingdom who is learning swordsmanship, in the appointment of a new heir. His strength is only level three.
Not to mention leading the group of knights tomorrow, even Ji Xu and other time travelers shouted ridiculously: "Abolish the elder and establish the young, abolish the direct descendant and establish the elder." This is against the patriarchal law. When the upper echelons of the feudal system dare to do this openly, then it is
This gave the powerful ministers a reason to depose the successor of the superior.
Jieli was very distressed by this because Eryuan did not want his son to change his name for the sake of the territory.
Eryuan: As long as Binghe is still alive and healthy, that's fine. As for Binghe, he doesn't seem interested in the earldom.
Eryuan puts himself in the position of his own child: It's no wonder, because the Brandt Earldom is an agricultural area, there is no electricity, no magic movie projection, and no friends from school. Every time he goes back, he is dressed like a doll and accepted.
Noble etiquette. How could he, who has a naughty nature, endure it?
It is worth mentioning that the most recent time he went home, Binghe ran away alone and then fled back to tomorrow's territory.
Master Wei was going to treat him to a meal of fried pork with a leather belt, and he went to live in the mechanical school again. Then he suddenly started studying hard and was admitted to the junior class.
He is going to (Xia Shengren) Sun Island to further his studies. It can be said that Master Wei can't keep up with his running speed when he picks up his belt.
…The fleet continued to move forward, and the envoy team was invited to Brandt’s leadership…
At this time, the Brandt family was entertaining Her Royal Highness the Princess and her followers who had just teleported over.
The Brandt family mage whom the kingdom was optimistic about was still very young at this time.
Eryuan can see that this young mage is very admiring for the princess. This admiration is not pursuit, but the consciousness of being a lower guardian knight. How to put it, - in terms of modern people's moral values, this kind of condescension
A low-ranking guardian knight who maintains an ambiguous relationship with his mistress is a bit of a licker.
However, Eryuan stared at this Jieli clan brother with sympathy: he had been domesticated in the palace, and besides learning magic, he was emphasized as a "lower class". He also liked the princess in the palace and
It was twisted into inferiority and admiration.
Ever since he came out of the Dark Plane, every time Eryuan saw a young boy who lacked ambition in his early years, he hated iron and steel.
After Eryuan saw Master Brandt, he first passed the kingdom princess and gave him a complete magic set (mage robe, artist mask, magic energy storage card, magic stone) and told him: "You must practice well."
Magic, for yourself." This sudden and unethical behavior confused the nobles of the kingdom present.
As for Princess Luosuna of the Kingdom, she is only sixteen years old this year. She is observing Eryuan. In her eyes, Eryuan is young, handsome and mature with a calm demeanor. This makes her heart beat. Just like the ancient industrial era.
A young girl met a handsome and cool idol star.
Luosuna muttered silently: "Lord Eryuan has been in contact with the alien plane and has maintained a good relationship. Now he has completed the development and construction of the territory. Both Karar and the kingdom are paying close attention to him."
In all aspects, Eryuan is quite perfect. The talents of the ordinary political officers under his command are better than those of the great lords. As for their appearance and demeanor, they are as warm as the sun.
Please note that before the modernization of tomorrow, education was a luxury, and only the children of nobles had the opportunity to learn how to manage the people.
In the kingdom's records of Eryuan, he was belittled as a man who was born in a pigsty. However, after meeting him, Luo Suna sighed in her heart: Was Eryuan born a noble?
Eyuan saw the princess staring at him closely and couldn't help coughing.
When meeting such a superior person, if it were Eryuan before he got married, he would yawn. He would not care about his image, he would play when he should play, and lie down when he should. But after having Binghe, every move will show it.
He is a very role model, um, he looks very charming as a mature man, especially to the 16-year-old aristocratic sister-in-law Liang.
Jieli came, dressed in fine clothes and stood next to Eyuan. Eyuan took the initiative to hold her hand. Jieli quietly drew circles on Eyuan's palm, and then suddenly grabbed the flesh of Eyuan's palm. Eyuan had no choice but to agree: "
Let’s talk about it tonight.”
Next, with the help of Jie Li, we began to negotiate terms with the kingdom.
During the meeting, well, that is, accompanied by Jie Li, Eryuan agreed to the kingdom's food purchase agreement. The meeting was very clean, without any additional communication.
A few hours later, Eryuan was no longer in the castle. Instead, he put on linen clothes and came to the straw pile in the countryside. The straw pile on the land in front of him exuded a yellow luster under the sunlight. After the busy harvest,
It really makes people feel lazy. It is probably a beautiful thing to relax and lie down.
At this time, people here painted various slogans on the houses they built, such as: "Have more children, plant more trees."
"Boys and girls are equally good." and the like. This style of painting is quite a yam style in this world.
Eyuan also added a catchy slogan of his own: "Only by combining work and rest, and having a good rest can you work well."
Mr. Wei's own social management has always been the same: try to mobilize and complete the production of basic materials, complete education as much as possible, build upward channels, suppress the unhealthy consumption of the upper class, cultivate the grassroots economically, and on the basis of healthy development, the needs of
diversification.
The Tomorrow Leader has embarked on the path of "breaking out of its shell" in the development of the current era. As long as it maintains a healthy state, it can use reasonable methods to stimulate the arrogant nobles in the kingdom to perform in the opposite direction, act against the will and get what they want.
perish.
For example, now: Due to the inexplicable severe winter cold and drought, there is a food famine and a shortage of materials in the kingdom. According to the past, if there is no competition for territory tomorrow, some nobles will still distribute food and take care of their "people" just like farmers take care of livestock.
, but now they no longer do this kind of business, and instead emphasize the kingdom's aristocratic order and this type of upper-level classics with the Tomorrow Leader.
At this time, the kingdom already showed signs of weakness, but the great nobles were further divided in the "salon" culture.
In the overall environment of hostility to the Tomorrow Territory, some stubborn old nobles even believe that the confrontation between the Tomorrow Territory should be further strengthened, because even if they reconcile now, the Tomorrow Territory will not provide help to the kingdom. Some nobles even depict the Eyuan View.
The appearance of being hopeless and mocking the kingdom.
In this concept of confrontation, the kingdom's radical nobles gathered forces in the Iron and Stone Fortress in an attempt to provoke friction.
After Luosuna returned and brought supplies, General Crow of the Iron Stone Fortress (who once cooperated with Eryuan as a Paladin) saw the price of the bill of goods given by his old friend Eryuan, and said with tears in his eyes: "He is really
"~" But in the repressive atmosphere of the kingdom's aristocratic circle at this time, even the Crow family of the great nobility did not dare to express: Eryuan is a kind person.
The next day, batches of goods were transported from the teleportation array to the Iron Stone Fortress. As for the list of exchange requirements, it included gold coins, minerals, and even whole pieces of wood. The Crow family is very particular about traditional noble contracts. Completed
Handover of trade materials.
In a letter to his mentor, he said: The Kingdom's worried Tomorrow Leader took advantage of the situation and robbed it, but it did not happen.
As everyone knows, once this kind of transaction is opened, the territorial wealth of all the nobles in the kingdom will begin to flow out.
Eryuan has definitely opened up the market of its old friend, and has started to engage in the linen textile industry, as well as the non-staple food processing industry of producing glass cans.
…Tomorrow’s Lead Traveler Consultant: The expansion of high-end capitalism requires continuous draining of the opponent’s potential, forcing the radicals among the opponent to take action first...
At this time, the Tomorrow Kingdom did not arrogantly pursue military colonization of the kingdom, but adopted a more peaceful evolution.
Eryuan: The main focus is to control key resources through economic redemption, aiming its currency settlement model at the lower levels of the kingdom, and linking it to its own food, steel, and magic supplies.
As for force, it is absolutely possible to support agents.
Lying on the straw pile, Eyuan mentally sketched out the territory division map, and recited the names of the owners of those territories: "Tsk, tsk, these young lords are very stupid in the aristocratic circles of the kingdom, so we can give them some support.
The new order cannot just blossom in the realm of tomorrow, it must make this world more possible."
"I will use decades to establish an era, and then when the tide rises, the party that joins the trend will overthrow the old one."
Eryuan also judged the upper-level rulers of this world: "The mages isolate the advanced productive forces in their own wizard towers. That is a small-scale peasant mentality. It is too small, and the pattern is too small."
Eryuan swore to Jieli at night: "I firmly uphold the alliance of "humans, elves, and dwarves" and am willing to become the cornerstone of stability."
Jie Li said something: "Xilier (a royal girl from the Elf tribe) asked where Binghe went now?"
Eyuan: "Is this kid in love early?"
Jie Li grabbed Er Yuan's shoulders and cursed: "You kicked me out and went to the Mechanical Research Institute for a trial!"
Eryuan muttered: "Well, when he grows up, the elf girl will still be a loli. Well, it's better to split the ball now to save yourself from being dumped later."
Jie Li was furious: "Are you deliberately pretending not to understand what I said? Didn't you just say you were willing to become humans and the cornerstone of the Elf Alliance?"
Eryuan reacted and immediately pinched Jieli's nose: "Yes, I am willing to defend politics, but it does not mean that I have to fill my son in as a stepping stone. He has his future. I only provide the bottom line. And I will tell you again.
The thing is, I don’t want him to be the lord.”
Jieli was very angry: "Why, he is your bloodline!"
Eryuan looked at the blue sky and white clouds: "My bloodline will fly freely. He will have a better future."
Jieli suddenly became anxious: "What should I do with my territory?"
Eyuan: "Your distant cousin, I think it's okay to practice a little bit."
Jie Li rolled her eyes: "Aren't you afraid that he will sell the territory to the kingdom if he changes hands? You also saw the way he treated Luosuna during the day."
Eryuan didn't care: "Boy, he will be deceived by girls several times. Tsk tsk, as long as he hasn't been trapped by the princess, I can let him know what to pursue in life!"
Jie Li asked curiously: "How do you know the princess didn't trap him?"
Eryuan glanced at Jieli: "I said trapped, because you and I have a lifelong contract. Your cousin is just fascinated for a moment and hasn't fallen in yet."
Jieli pinched Eryuan secretly: "Do you mean you regret falling into my life?"
