Snorri has been thinking about a question, which is what the power of the ruler is related to. Not counting those rubber stamps that have been completely ignored, why some decrees are lost before they leave the palace, while others can be implemented with the words of the heavenly constitution.
One's own will?
"Preventing groups whose interests do not converge with one's own from becoming bigger and stronger as much as possible" is a small realization he gained from history. Once interest groups control the government and the opposition, even if they still retain personnel power, they can be replaced at will.
If everything is the same, what changes can be made?
After a period of "letting go", Snorri took the initiative to intensify conflicts and was able to impose heavy penalties once and for all; at the same time, he fished out more hidden dissidents, achieving the effect of deep bone scraping and healing.
After a short period of shock, humans who have a sense of belonging to the Southland and are willing to respect Snorri will take up grassroots leadership positions. No one will regard him as a "developer" or the "King of the Southland" anymore.
The title will be worthy of its name.
In the past, due to the fact that dwarf management did not go to the villages in principle, development was uneven everywhere. After taking back the grassroots administrative power, Snorri invested the confiscated assets in infrastructure and education. The real benefits of wanting the people to support his rule were far away.
Stronger than a few slogans.
After all the obstacles were cleared, Noli became busy with his work. He focused on ideological education and cultural construction to ensure that talents would continue to be produced to help development, and that these talents could be used by himself.
"The production of Rune Guards will be stopped, and the manpower will be transferred to the maintenance of the Colossus. It shouldn't be too difficult with the previous technical reserves. I will launch these new projects at the same time!"
After eliminating the internal hidden dangers, Snorri must of course fully unleash the development potential of the Southland. Retaking the Karak-Eight Peaks Mountains, penetrating the World's Edge Mountains, awakening the sleeping ancestral goddess and solving the population problem that restricted the development of the dwarves was after he regained the Southland.
The focus of work has always been.
After Snorri found the Hammer, he stayed in the old world for almost two years. Belegar-The Hammer was not idle. He mastered three-dimensional strikes on the ground, underground, and in the air, and became accustomed to fighting in coordination with human cavalry. He finally
We have broken out of the vicious cycle of repelling the enemy but with limited annihilation - tug-of-war based on strongholds - unable to consume enough and being forced to withdraw.
"King Belegar called and asked if you have time to see him."
After arranging the localized improvement and production of the blueprints obtained from Iron Hand, and preparing to go to his forge to continue producing the core of the Colossus, Chief Civil Officer Balin knocked on the door and walked in.
This poor guy was the only dwarf Snorri saw who had lost weight after retaking the Southland. Fortunately, he relied on his own efforts to overwhelm the talents who coveted his position.
"Of course, Mrs. Aniya and their children are also welcome to come here. I haven't seen the new blood of that ancient clan yet!"
Within a few days, Belegar and his wife came to the door with a baby in their arms. This was a little prince, and Belega named him Rune II - the same as the last king of the Eight Peaks Mountain, reposing the hope of the clan to continue the past and open up the future.
"Thanks to you and them, I have recaptured all the strongholds along the Poisonous Water River. There is no longer a stench of green mushrooms between Hongyun Mountain and Tiefeng Fort."
"Okay, Gotrek will be shocked when he comes back and finds that he is unemployed!"
Snorri praised it. Previously, only a passage with limited safety had been dredged along the route from Hongyun Mountain to Cladro Gate to Tiefeng Fort. He even had to send his own champion, Mr. Gao, to act as the transportation captain to escort the armed escort.
"As you have judged, my current manpower alone is insufficient to hold such a large piece of land, and it is difficult to find the strength to continue marching towards Bafeng Mountain."
Belegar's actual control territory rapidly expanded from a fortress to a province, but the newly acquired land did not have any usable population. Instead, it had to devote manpower and material resources to clean up the reproductive spores left by the greenskins.
"So what do you think?"
Snorri tapped the table lightly. Belegar was not short of think tanks, and he must have had a preliminary plan when he came to him.
"We discussed it with the four ancestors and we agreed that we should learn from your advanced experience and introduce human immigrants to jointly develop the land."
"hiss!"
What Mrs. Ania said was expected. No matter how stubborn the ancestors were, they would make concessions to speed up the process of retaking the Eight Peaks Mountain. But the problem is that the human beings in the old world are not infinite. The population with the intention to move over the years has been eliminated.
The Southland has almost absorbed it, and the Southland is far from rich enough to have a population that can move out.
"Our main targets are the Border Princedom and the Tyrell Federation. My mother's family has some influence in these two places and can provide some help."
"How should I put it? I'm not particularly optimistic about this. On the one hand, Madam, you know better than me what the situation is like for the humans there. Many times, they live with chaos. At the same time, the environment in the Dushui River area is also relatively harsh, and it will take time and effort to transform it.
."
Snorri's territory is a long and narrow plateau in the mountains, which is relatively safe and easy to develop. Dushui River, as its name suggests, is not a good place. It flows into the Sour Sea to the west. Snorri previously built a Jieshi Mountain stronghold at the mouth of the sea.
It was intended to be developed into a trading port but was shelved due to environmental constraints.
"So we also need your help, such as seconding some tribesmen with rich experience in human work to assist in management; hiring your talented engineers to design and supervise environmental improvement projects, etc."
"Um.."
Snorri took a sip of the refreshing drink and squinted his eyes as he looked at the couple in front of him. The Andergrand clan had been deeply bound to him militarily, and now they wanted to hand over a large amount of internal power to themselves. What was their plan?
"Hey, the dwarf faction Andergrand clan applied for a union. Do you want to accept it?" A prompt popped up from the system answered Snorri's question. To put it bluntly, union means establishing a subordination relationship.
"This woman is not simple!"
Snorri believes that it was Lady Aenea who prompted the Andegrand clan to make these decisions that went against their ancestors. The four ancestral spirits are valuable help, but they are also a constraint.
Their motives are very clear. The first is that recovering the Eight Peaks Mountain requires Snorri's great efforts. The second is that once Snorri sits on the throne of power, relying on his personal strength and the blessing of the spokesmen of the gods, his control over the nations will be as good as
Qi Ping, the supreme king in the golden age, why not accept the title certificate early in exchange for some reality?
This union is not a union with the Southland or the Drazkrad clan, it is limited to Snorri himself. When he no longer stays in the mortal world, the Undergrand clan will naturally regain its independence.
"Accept it, it's the best if you have feelings for me." While thinking about it, Snorri nodded slightly. (End of Chapter)
