Regarding this "pro-government" proposal, the "aristocratic faction" that occupies half of the court suddenly expressed its support, which surprised Zhou Ming.

But when I think about it, I think it makes sense.

You must know that the essence of this major event in the world, and even all important things, can be summed up in one word: interests.

The essence of all things is profit.

There is a natural contradiction between the imperial power and the noble lords, and the reason is also interests.

For example, the land, the noble lords occupy two-thirds of the land of the empire, and there are countless lords, on these lands, the emperor can hardly exert any influence, and the policies formulated by the empire cannot be implemented on the land of the lords.

Even if it is a tax, the noble lords give the emperor every year only a little pocket money in the nature of gifts.

More than 80% of the empire's taxes were collected from the states and counties in the royal territory.

Of course, the noble lords have the obligation to send soldiers to defend the country, but now is a time of peace, there is little civil strife, and there are no neighbors around the entire floating island, so there is basically no obligation for the noble lords to fulfill this empire...... In addition to nominally subordinate to this empire.

But things are moving forward, 300 years of peace have increased the population of the empire several times, the land has been fully developed, and with it, the burden is also increasing, whether it is the emperor or the nobles, in the limited land, they are not satisfied, they are hungry for more resources.

After all, the emperor's power is still greater, after all, the emperor has one-third of the land and half of the population, and it is impossible for the noble lords to get more land as a reward from the emperor.

The power of the nobles is relatively scattered, and it is easy to be broken by each one, as long as one of them commits a crime, let the emperor find an excuse to exterminate the family, recover the land, and change it to a county, the emperor will generally not be merciful.

As a result, in the past 300 years, due to the implementation of a policy similar to "cutting the feudal domain", the strength of the imperial power has been growing, and the nobles can only cling to each other, on the one hand, not to provoke trouble, not to let people find an excuse to attack, and on the other hand, to unite around the prince Lucis, to jointly deal with the expansion of imperial power.

But in fact, the Lucis family is also very conflicted in their hearts, because after seeing the benefits of the county system, in their own fiefdoms, the Lucis family also implemented a similar county system, strengthening the concentration of power, so that about half of the land in the fief is gradually controlled by the Lucis family.

It was only later that in order to win the support of the nobles, Lord Lucis had to suspend the centralization process and no longer recover the land of the lords and vassals...... I don't know whether there are many advantages or disadvantages to this approach.

In short, in the Orunian Empire, the relationship between the noble lords and the imperial power was naturally antagonistic and incompatible, and it was difficult to establish a relationship of mutual trust.

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor and the Lucis family had been married from generation to generation, this empire would have broken out into a civil war long ago.

Of course, the aristocratic faction suddenly changed their minds and chose to support Zhou Ming in advance of the government, in fact, there is another important reason-

Zhou Ming's "Empire Take-off" plan was personally formulated.

What are the main core elements of this plan?

One, the development of productive forces, the crazy development of productive forces.

How crazy is it going to be?

In about ten years, the total agricultural output value of the empire will increase by more than three times.

In about ten years, the total industrial output value of the empire will increase by more than 50 times.

When many people first see this plan, their first instinct is absurd, crazy, and unbelievable.

But after looking at it carefully, I gradually felt that it was extremely feasible, and I thought that I could turn my dream into reality, as long as everyone followed the steps planned in this plan.

In this way, after the explosive growth of the industrial and agricultural output value of the empire, people's living standards will be greatly improved, and material civilization will become extremely abundant.

All strata of the entire empire have money and have entered the era of moderate prosperity, so they can become richer and enter the "era of great prosperity".

How to rush into the Dakang era?

It is the "floating fleet" that the empire forms to sail to other continents or floating islands, transporting countless commodities to other countries in exchange for countless treasures or high-value resources, carrying out foreign trade, and grabbing countless wealth.

In short, it is to embark on a path of crazy wealth.

Isn't that interesting?

Isn't that interesting?

For Zhou Ming, this is really not interesting, and he has long lost interest in grabbing money.

But it's interesting to others.

The ministers of the DPRK and China were full of interest, and one by one they joined in to buy shares, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

The nobles couldn't sit still, and applied for cooperation one after another, for fear that the massive wealth would leave them.

There are even some nobles who are not afraid of the threat of the imperial power to them, and use the opportunity to agree to the emperor's personal government in advance as a bargaining chip to win some favor from the emperor in exchange for an opportunity to join the shares.

Fortunately, for these eager voices, Zhou Ming responded soon after he officially took office, and ordered people to open an "Imperial Development Unlimited Company", which issued a large number of shares, regardless of ministers, nobles, ordinary businessmen, and commoners, they could pay for them, and all capital was welcome to join.

As for the royal forces represented by Zhou Ming himself, they account for 33% of the shares and enjoy the dominant power and important decision-making power.

In addition, due to the imminent launch of a large number of infrastructure construction projects, in order to improve the efficiency of construction, Zhou Ming also plans to increase the number of magic network walkers in his hands from 100 to 1,000 people, and put them into various construction activities.

After being busy for seven days in a row after being pro-government, and after a large number of tasks were arranged, Zhou Ming, who finally relaxed and rested, faced another headache.

Urging marriage.

Prince Lucis applied to enter the palace, and after meeting Zhou Ming alone, he asked him to fulfill his promise and marry Elsa as soon as possible.

"Marrying Elsa as the queen?"

Zhou Ming was taken aback, shook his head and said, "I'm only 15 years old, so how can I get married so early?"

"It's normal to get married at the age of 15, many people in the folk get married at the age of 12 or 3, and 15 years old is not young. ”

The old prince said again: "Besides, Elsa is two years older than you, and she will soon turn 18, and when she is the age of marriage, Your Majesty, you are embarrassed to delay her, right?"

"No, no, no!"

Zhou Ming waved his hand again and again: "Wait a little longer, I am not ready, the two are indeed young, I read from a book, saying that men are exposed to men and women too early, which will cause great damage to the body and easily lose their lifespan...... I want to be a great emperor, I want to make a name for myself, so I want to have a healthy and long-lived body. ”

"What kind of bastard is this!"

The old prince glared angrily: "The old man broke his body at the age of 13, and he was experienced in a hundred battles at the age of 15, even after the age of 80, he often broke a *** taste, and he enjoyed two beauties last night, so that they both soared...... How can it hurt yourself?"

"In the old man's opinion, if the method is proper and the posture skills are skillful, this thing of a man and woman will not only not hurt the body, but will prolong the life!

"Boy, your worries are completely superfluous, if you want to live a long and healthy life, your great-grandfather can teach you, and at the same time, let me hold a great-grandson next year!"

"This marriage is decided, and three days later it will be an auspicious day, and I will go back to let people prepare. ”

Hearing the old prince's words, Zhou Ming's eyes widened.

Muttering to myself: I heard through the grapevine before, my grandfather is the imperial capital artillery king, at least a thousand people have been shelled, and he has countless illegitimate children, I don't really believe it, but now it seems that this is simply a living little H Wen protagonist.
