Since Queen Santis doesn't have any objections, the elders of the Heisensel family naturally don't have any objections either.
John had also asked Theresia's opinion before. His fiancée was not the kind of person with a strong desire for power, so he supported his fiancé's choice. Besides, Santis, the imperial title, was not secure in the first place, and
The name was borrowed from the Harvest Empire of the former indigenous civilization. In the old continent, it was only treated as a kingdom, and no one would recognize it as the Santis Empire.
In this way, after the merger of the two countries, returning to the title of kingdom can also calm some external jealousies and possible interference.
You must know that since Emsdan announced the acceptance of the Jinsha Autonomous Prefecture and the news of his marriage to Santis, countless nobles and the royal family have been envious and jealous of them, especially the royal families of the small European countries. They have always taken themselves very seriously.
Gao believes that both status and territorial strength are not inferior to the Kingdom of Emsdan, so why does such a good thing not happen to them?
Several major powers and medium-sized countries are also worried about the rapid growth of the Kingdom of Emsdan. Of course, this is not because they are worried that Emsdan will have problems, but because they are afraid that Emsdan's strength will threaten their interests in the New World.
and the future competition for world interests.
Therefore, despite the fact that the royal families of some Old World countries headed by Brooke are very close to the Hessenser family, especially the Brooke royal family is also an in-law of the Emsdan royal family, but among several political events in Emsdan, these
Everyone is causing trouble for the royal family of Hessenser.
In the face of national interests, even the close relationship between brothers and sisters must give in. Even the Heisenser family has no doubt that if their family grows further, even the Double-Headed Eagle family, a die-hard ally, will choose to suppress Heisen for the benefit of the Holy Empire.
Seer.
So John said:
"With regard to taking back Vasilia, there shouldn't be much resistance from the international community. After all, Vasilia has always been interested in the kingdom, and the interests are not that big. Our opponents should focus on targeting us and Santi.
On top of Sri Lanka's marriage, that is what affects the New World and even the overall international situation."
The skillful William III took over and said:
"There is indeed a lot of international resistance in this regard. Although our marriage with Santis has been confirmed, changes may occur before the actual wedding day. However, I am confident that we can complete this marriage because the White Eagle Federation is a
The biggest obstacle has been solved by John, and the remaining ones, whether it is Brooke or Franz, although the colonial power in the New World is strong, it is a great deterrent to those small countries, but it does not put much pressure on our kingdom, unless they
Mobilizing troops from the mainland, but that would inevitably lead to war. With the current situation, neither Franz nor Brooke would want to open a battlefield in the New World. As for the Ivan Empire, it goes without saying
Now, their power in the New World is almost negligible."
John nodded: "Yes, the wars in the Near East have also put a lot of pressure on the Brooks. As the country with the most colonial interests in the Near East and the Eastern Subcontinent, the Brooks will never allow the Ivans to cross the Persian Plateau and threaten their new territory.
The one I got from the Tianzhu Empire. After all, it’s the most dazzling diamond on the crown on their queen’s head, isn’t it?”
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Helena also smiled and said: "That's right, my cousin loves the diamond on the crown on her head as much as her eyes. She just took the position of queen and became one of the greatest monarchs in history. She will not tolerate it.
Provocation from the outside world!”
As the most well-known king of the Hessenser family, Charles V knows the truth well.
He said:
"The Brook people may have been the most powerful country in the world in the past two hundred years, but the lack of recognition of the imperial title has always been their heartache. Therefore, the Tianzhu Empire is a taboo of the Brook Empire. The proud Brook people will never
What will be allowed to affect the Queen's crown, not to mention that the Tianzhu Empire, a large and rich colony, will bring them a lot of gold pounds every year."
"From the Queen and the Prime Minister to the soldiers and farmers, no one will allow anyone to threaten the interests of the Tianzhu Colony. For this reason, even if they bring their own dry food to kill the enemy, there will be a lot of Brooke people willing. Because the Tianzhu Colony transports it to the Brooke mainland
The interests of the people in Brook are related to the vast majority. Almost everyone benefits directly or indirectly. Not to mention those big shots, even a farmer may exchange the same income for more benefits because the society as a whole is rich. Even the disabled
The veterans' subsidy is less than one gold pound more than in previous years. Don't underestimate the benefits of less than one gold pound, there are a lot of people who will work hard for it."
John also sighed:
"This is the power of collective interests!"
Of course, members of the Hessenser family understand this. Because Emsdan has actually played this trick in the early years, whether it was the New World Development Company when it was still in the local period, or the current Emsdan
Thirty percent of the revenue from the public port is allocated every year for public construction and social welfare, and the rest is divided between the royal family and government departments.
These are all behaviors tied to interests, which have also allowed Emsdan's national power to continue to grow, and the cohesion of the people has become even stronger.
Especially after moving to the New World, social welfare policies were vigorously developed. The 30% tax revenue from the national public port was a huge amount for an international transfer station like the Antilles Port every year, almost more than many small countries in the Old World.
of annual taxes.
Everyone has to admire the courage of the previous king, Charles V. Strictly speaking, the land in the public port belongs to the king and the royal family. Giving up this large piece of cake is difficult for most nobles and monarchs to give up.
As a result of this move, there are now basically no beggars and orphans in Emsdam. All the orphans, the old and the weak have been invited to the welfare home to receive care and education. Although they cannot eat big fish and meat, they will definitely not die of hunger, and people will treat them when they are sick.
There will be irregular donations from people in the community, and it can be said that the overall social welfare is almost as good as that of some European developed countries in John's previous life.
This also made Emsdan a truly prosperous and powerful country promoted in newspapers from various countries in the Old World, and even gained the reputation of "Paradise on Earth". This move attracted a large number of immigrants from the Old World to Emsdan and greatly eased migration.
The population loss since the New World has allowed Emsdan to develop into the third most powerful country in the New World in just a few decades.
Of course, this perfect welfare system also has some factors such as small population and small land, which is easy to manage. Since accepting the territory of Jinsha Port as an autonomous prefecture, the process of implementing the same social welfare system in Jinsha Port has not been smooth. First of all, most of the Jinsha Port port tax revenue
It belongs to the interests of the major families, and less than 20% of it is taxes paid to the city government. It cannot be as generous as the Emsdan royal family and give up nearly one-third of the interests to improve people's lives.
This is understandable. After all, Jinsha Port was built by various major families, so they are naturally eligible to receive the benefits it brings.
It was the Hessenser branch that took the lead, allowing each family to cough up a portion of its share, and finally managed to collect 10% of the tax revenue to improve people's livelihood and maintain the public environment.
Don’t look at it as just 10%. With the throughput of Jinsha Port increasing year by year, it is still a big number in one year. In addition, Jinsha State already has basic welfare measures. Therefore, at present, Jinsha Port, Cramento and other major cities
The citizen welfare system of Emsdan has been initially completed, and the next step is to move towards the towns and villages below.
After the recovery of Valicia and the merger with Santis, these benefits will be gradually implemented in these two regions. The former is better, with only one state in area, much smaller than a large state like Jinsha State, and the latter is
This big country with millions of square kilometers will probably be very busy by then.
