Chapter 308: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

Between the lords, there is prevarication, which is common.

Needless to say, the resulting empty consumption of resources.

If it weren't for the presence of the Odin Empire, a powerful common enemy, the Byron alliance would have broken up and attacked each other.

Even so, the local conflict has never stopped, and many times, the princess regent, who is known as the supreme ruler of the Byron Alliance, is powerless and can only mediate as a peacemaker in the middle.

Sophia has recognized this drawback and wants to reform it, with uniform laws being the top priority.

The effect achieved in one's own fiefdom is obvious to all.

If the Plains of Asia Minor is the richest and most prosperous place in the continent of Assan, then the fief of the princess regent is the richest and most prosperous place in the Plains of Asia Minor.

But it was still resisted from top to bottom.

It's not that those lords and nobles have all become fools in an instant, and they can't see the fact that everyone can see, but this has touched their fundamental interests.

The new policy of the princess regent is beneficial to the territory and the people, but it is not beneficial to the original lords, and it will greatly weaken their rights.

In other words, the lords and nobles, the class on which the Byron League once depended, have become parasites on the big tree of the Byron League, frantically absorbing its fattening and fertilizing itself, hindering its further development and growth, at least most of it.

Sean doesn't want the power he has built up to repeat the same mistakes and become that kind of small workshop model.

The establishment of a special legislative body is inevitable.

However, the law is a very serious matter, not only involving the long-term stability of a force, but also closely related to the people.

A law full of loopholes is not only a kind of damage to itself, but also a kind of harm to the people.

Before each law is promulgated, it needs to be carefully studied and considered, not only to benefit one's own rule, but also to take into account the vital interests of the people.

In this way, all the lords can be brought together, and the Eternal Night Army can grow and develop.

When it comes to the legislature, the first name that springs to Sean's mind is - People's Congress.

There is no way, the systematic education and living environment he received in his previous life is the orthodox model of planting flowers.

If the first thing he thinks of is the Eagle Sauce family's Congress, it means that there is something wrong with his education.

Of course, Sean's confusion of the people's congress with the legislature is also extremely problematic.

However, Sean is not ready to copy it completely, after all, the national conditions are different, and it is really not easy to use the set of flower planters.

How can a world in which the transformation of feudal social forms has not yet been completed, where many places are still in a semi-feudal and semi-slave state, and where capitalism has not yet seen its infancy, how can it accept socialism?

It is the most appropriate to be down-to-earth, in line with the current social form, and with racial and ethnic characteristics.

Under the influence of Sean, Andes people have some characteristics of flower planters, but after all, it is impossible to become a real flower planter from another world, not because of the color of the race, but because of the things that flow in the bones and belong to them, such as aggression.

It may be because of the influence of thousands of years of Confucian culture, or it may be the characteristics of the farming nation, or it may be that the land is vast and the resources are abundant, and the flower growers have a unique grace and generosity, being kind to their neighbors, and rarely taking the initiative to invade others, but they also have the concept of swearing to defend the country to the death and those who offend our China will be punished even if they are far away.

At present, although the Eternal Night Commanders, who are mainly composed of Andes, have been transforming into farming peoples, the time is too short, and they have not completely changed their civilization characteristics of semi-farming, half-fishing and hunting, and the environment they live in has prompted them to walk on the road of expansion.

From the original half of the Jacob Ancient River, to the entire Jacob Ancient River Channel, to the current entire Andes Mountains, and now the eyes are set on the Swamp of Despair.

When the swamp of despair is swallowed up, will they be content and stop expanding?

I'm afraid the answer is no.

Due to the combination of various factors, the concept of the clan elder's political conference was freshly baked.

A wise man will make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and a fool will also gain a thousand thoughts.

This kind of thing is still good to play a collective wisdom, especially the clan elders are the closest to the people, and they have the best understanding of their needs, and they may be able to put forward a lot of favorable suggestions.

Moreover, these clan elders usually like to discuss the current political malpractices, and it is better to block them than to be sparse.

Why don't you give them a platform to play, formulate new policies, have their participation and suggestions, and see if they applaud or oppose them when the time comes?

Combined with the plan to annex the crocodiles, it's the best of both worlds.

The Hundred Clan's Elder Council and the Crocodile Elders' Council are two completely different concepts.

The most obvious representative, the elders of the Hundred Race Elders Parliamentary Assembly, only has the parliamentary power and legislative power, and has no executive power, let alone military power.

They discussed a law, and the final enforcement body, or the official body of the Eternal Night Commander, supervised and corrected it by means of political discussion.

The Hundred Race Old Parliamentary Assembly is only a temporary concept, and it is not necessarily only a hundred people, and it will change according to the actual situation.

The Council of Elders of the Crocodile Clan nodded and agreed to cooperate, which was only the first step in the matter, and there were a lot of follow-up matters, after all, all aspects of the two forces were involved.

However, there is such a huge difference in the style of action between the two, and it is necessary to seek common ground from the differences.

However, when it comes to specific and cumbersome matters, there is no need for Sean to come out in person, and the generals in their own territory will naturally negotiate with the elders of the crocodile clan and reach a common opinion.

There may still be problems in the details, but in the general direction, the two sides quickly reached a few points of consensus.

First of all, the Cummins family's invincible armada, which cannot be resisted.

Even with the foreign aid of the Eternal Night Army, the water power of the two sides is still not at the same level.

Once they are easily engaged in a decisive battle on the water, causing a large number of ships to be damaged, they will enter a completely passive state, and even lose the opportunity to counterattack.

Taking full advantage of the fact that the Cummins family warships are all big ships and cannot enter shallow water, it is the right way to counterattack.

In this way, it means that they must relinquish control of the Danube and use the east bank of the Danube as a battlefield for defensive counterattacks.

Compared with the west bank of the Danube, the area here is larger, the water network environment is more complex, in addition to the Danube River, there are several rivers in it, which can accommodate the entry and exit of the Eternal Night Army's ships, but it does not allow the Cummins family's sea ships to show off their power here.

At this time, the importance of the brother port that the Eternal Night Army led to fight for the crocodile people in the first place was highlighted.

This is a typical confluence of two rivers.

Its main entrance is the Danube River, and the side entrance is the Bashu River.

The Bashu River is a tributary of the Danube, but instead of flowing into the Danube, it branches off from the Danube.

Compared to the west bank of the Danube, the terrain on the east bank is more gentle, and after the Danube River passes through here, it does not lead directly to the sea, but drills like a sieve to the east bank.

The Bashu River was only its first tributary, and at its peak, there were hundreds of such tributaries.

It is because of them that the Gangnam Plain has become a swamp of despair.

However, with the change of the Desperate Marsh environment, the water level of the Danube has dropped dramatically, and most of the small tributaries have been cut off and turned into lakes and shallow bays.

Only a small number of relatively large tributaries, such as the Bashu River, are still flowing.

The Bashu River is part of a complex network of water on the east bank of the Danube, through which the ships of the Eternal Night can avoid the Danube in and out of most of the east bank of the Despair Marsh.

From the very beginning, the Eternal Night Warlords attached great importance to the Brother Port, and on the day the agreement with the Council of Elders was signed, numerous merchant ships led a large number of architects and building materials south.

Naturally, the leader is Ferdinand, the royal architect of the Eternal Night Army.

The Eternal Night Commander is now a slightly high-grade architectural planner, and his shadow is indispensable.

However, he no longer needs to measure everything by himself as he did when he built the Twin Cities.

Over the years, he has single-handedly brought out half a regiment of apprentices, not to mention the apprentices and grandchildren of apprentices and apprentices.

Under the training of a large number of infrastructure projects under the leadership of the Eternal Night Army, many of them have already been released.

Now Ferdinand is an out-and-out chief planner, only responsible for controlling the direction and some key points, and leaving the rest to his disciples and grandchildren.

Layer upon layer of shard design, and then summarize and adjust it with him, and finalize it.

Therefore, the speed of the drawings is very fast, this side has just selected the site, and the other side can only take two weeks to come up with the final drawings, and then directly break ground.

It is true that the main force in the construction of Brother Port is the crocodile people, but most of them are strong laborers, doing some heavy and cumbersome work, commonly known as small labor.

The big workers who really do the delicate work have to be the subordinate engineer corps of the Eternal Night Army, not to mention that many of them are not very old, but they have at least five years of infrastructure work veterans.

It is also the mode of division of labor and packaging, and several sappers from the affiliated engineering regiment lead a dozen to dozens of crocodile people to form a team to carry out construction at one site.

Except for a few special building materials that were transported from the Eternal Night Army, the bricks and stones needed for later construction were all made on the spot and fired on the spot.

The Eternal Night Leaders are also familiar with this, as they do the same in the Eternal Night Commanders.

Even with the convenience of the Jacob River and the Danube River, it is not cost-effective to transport building materials on a large scale, as long as the scale of the construction site exceeds a certain level, the Eternal Night Army Commander will inevitably open a brick factory nearby to burn bricks and stones, and there is really no condition, so he will consider transporting them.

Before the resumption of the Jacob River, the construction conditions of the Brother Port should be the worst, and it is difficult to find a piece of hard soil because of the flooding river.

Now, it's perfect.

The water level here has basically stabilized, and even if it drops again, it will not drop significantly.

The original straight crossing, at the peak of the desperate Nu River, under the impact of the crazy current, is a large gap more than ten kilometers long and wide, after the water level drops, it becomes a lake where the two rivers meet.

Brother Harbor was chosen to be built here, this lake is a natural harbor, even if all the existing warships of the Eternal Night Army are stuffed into it, it will not be satisfied.

Due to its unique geographical environment, the sister port is divided into three parts.

At least on the general design drawings, he should have belonged to three parts, in the shape of a half-cross, one part on the west bank of the Danube River, one part on the east bank of the Danube, and then divided in two by the Bashu River.

However, only part of it has been completed, the southeastern part of the corner between the Danube and the Bashu River.

By the time the Brothers Port was built, the Kingsley family had already taken some initiative in the Swamp of Despair, and the part on the west bank of the Danube was naturally not a priority.

The southeastern part of the country was built first, which could directly choke the Danube and Bashu rivers, and now it has become the last line of defense for the Eternal Night Army and the crocodiles to defend against the Cummins family.

A large number of warships, manpower and material resources from the Eternal Night Army are gathering here.

The crocodile people, mainly living forces, are also gathering in this direction.

There were even some crocodile people who heard the news, dragging their families and families, and drove a small boat to run here.

The east bank of the Swamp of Despair is about to become the main battlefield, and when the time comes, there is no place to live, and these crocodiles instinctively hide from the war.

This is also the focus of the coordination between the Eternal Night Leader and the Council of Elders.

Whether or not to carry out a major evacuation of the crocodile, some women and children withdrew to the Eternal Night Army for temporary refuge.

In this regard, the leaders of the Eternal Night Army raised their hands in welcome, what are they kidding, such a good opportunity for assimilation is exactly what they dreamed of.

It was still the Council of Elders who were still entangled, although when they decided to cooperate with the Eternal Night Commander, they knew that the Crocodile people did not want to maintain their previous independence and be assimilated by the Eternal Night Commander, which had a more complete cultural inheritance and management system, that was an inevitable thing, it was just a matter of importance.

The fact that his own people have taken refuge in the Eternal Night Command should be in the worst condition.

But they had no way to refuse, after all, compared to the increasingly chaotic swamp of despair, the Eternal Night Commander's safety was absolutely guaranteed.

If the Council of Elders obstructs in this regard, it will be firmly in trouble with its own people.

In the end, they adopted an attitude of discouragement and non-organization.

For those crocodile people who spontaneously went to the Eternal Night Army, they were allowed to go directly, but it was impossible for them to organize and move their clan to go.

But they can't stand up to their allies and make it bad.

The Eternal Night Army led the old trick again, through the caravan, to those crocodile people to hype up the current situation, intentionally or unintentionally emphasizing the potential danger, the result can be imagined, those crocodile people directly fried the pot, began to flock to the brother port.

The Council of Elders of the Crocodile Clan is still in session every day.

However, the location has shifted to Brother Port, and the Eternal Night Commanders have begun to intervene in large numbers.

Before the Council of Elders could make a move, the wicked Sean, who knew it well, sued first and complained: "Elders, it's not a way to go on like this, it won't be long before Brother Harbor will be crowded, and the amount of entry and exit of the Death Waterway is so much every day, if the combined forces of the Kingsley family and the Cummins family are killed, these lords will be an obstacle for us to mobilize troops, and if we are not careful, we will suffer heavy casualties." ”

As for whether there is joy in his heart, only he knows.

"It's not your own sin, your caravans are spreading our battle plan everywhere, it's no wonder that our people don't panic. An elder said angrily.

He had just received the news a few days ago that more than half of his tribe had spontaneously organized themselves and marched towards Brother Port, and he was now in a dilemma.

Without this part of the clan, eighty percent of one's own ethnic group will exist in name only.

"As I said before, we treat both communities equally, and the people have the right to know what they are doing, and I'm just doing what we should do. Sean replied with an innocent look on his face.

We're not your people yet!

The elder almost vomited blood in anger, and the words almost didn't come out of his mouth.

"It is true that the people have the right to know, but before we do it, we must always be informed, right? Otherwise, we will be very passive, after all, we are now one, one loss and common loss, one prosperity and common prosperity are not. "Grand Elder Webb is very sensible.

For things that are already unavoidable, it is useless to get angry, keep a cool head to come up with a way to stop loss.

"I'm sorry, we didn't think this through, and we will definitely consult with the elders next time. Sean's apology was extremely sincere.

But whether it will continue to do so next time is another matter.

Are you kidding.

If this kind of thing were discussed with you, would it still be so powerful?

The most correct choice is to cut first and then play.

"Not as an example. Grand Elder Webber snorted, obviously not believing Sean's promise, they are still in the alliance of interests, and they will do everything from the side that is best for themselves, if the situation is reversed, I am afraid that they will do the same thing as the Eternal Night Leader.
