Chapter 234: The King's Worries and Game Modes
Zhang Xun has hidden worries in his heart.
Yingyang's current social structure is very simple, that is, a very rough layer of lord system, the king divides the land to the big nobles, and the big nobles are subdivided down the lower levels, the big nobles are loyal to the king, and the small nobles are nominally loyal to the king, but are actually controlled by the big nobles, such a master-slave relationship.
Zhang Xun actually had a headache when he figured out the structure of Yingyang, because this led to a serious restriction of his power as a king.
If a certain nobleman disobeys the yang and the yin, it is difficult for the king to have a way to control it, not only in the other world, but also in the history of the republic, there are precedents in the history of the republic, the emperors try to cut the domain, and they have to face possible rebellion and turmoil, if it is not good, it is a bloody war.
And Zhang Xun wants to make Yingyang strong, he needs to enhance his control over the kingdom, the aristocracy itself he does not intend to challenge, first, the aristocracy is trapped in the times, it cannot be forcibly changed, and second, the existence of the royal family is the peak embodiment of the aristocracy, how can there be a reason to overthrow themselves.
What Zhang Xun wants is to strengthen the centralization of power.
He hoped that he would slowly take back the power of Eagle Yang from the great nobles.
Although he did not seem to feel a real challenge from the aristocracy since he ascended the throne, this does not mean that there will not be, and Ruhl's previous talk of pressure from the nobles was a wake-up call.
Before, due to the sudden war, the Yingyang aristocratic group united in the face of foreign enemies, covering up a lot of contradictions, now, after the suspension of the war, Zhang Xun first won a big victory, stabilized his position as king, and really sat firmly, second, to take the bridgehead area, this kind of merit of expanding the territory made the aristocratic group speechless, and the fame gradually rose, the third is that under the prestige of the army, the royal power can be guaranteed, and the nobles dare not act rashly at this time, and the fourth is that Zhang Xun ordered the new metallurgical method to be sold to the nobles, so that they can really taste the sweetness of economic benefits。
He hadn't thought of it that much when he gave the order before, but recently when he began to summarize his time in power, he roughly understood why the current Eagle Yang aristocratic group was so honest.
However, this kind of honest duty is only temporary, and with the passage of time, when the peace is settled, Zhang Xun, the king, wants to promote any government reforms, and I am afraid that he will be resisted by the aristocratic group.
The pressure on the institute was only a little symptom, but Zhang Xun did not dare to relax.
Having read so many history books, he knew that once he began to reform, he would inevitably touch the interests of the existing aristocratic group.
Just like the promotion of the Jenny machine, a test product of industrial reform, is bound to cause collective turmoil among the original aristocratic merchants in the East.
Zhang Xun gave the Jenny machine to the Eastern Royal Family before, in addition to the willingness on the surface, there is also a very special reason in his heart, he really wants to let the Eastern Royal Family be a guinea pig, through the Jenny machine, to test the reaction ability of the world's aristocratic group, in order to sum up experience and prepare for his own steam revolution.
Therefore, he firmly believed that he would definitely have a confrontation with the aristocratic group in the future.
And if you want to hold the fate of Yingyang in your hands, you can't let go of the current social governance system.
The lord system had diluted the king's power a lot, and he was worried that if he didn't do something sooner, his throne would eventually be lost, if not invaded by other kingdoms, but would be lost due to domestic problems.
In short, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to "cut the feudal domain".
Part of Yingyang's territory was in the hands of the royal family, and its management relied on officials appointed by the royal family, while the other part was managed by the great nobles, and Zhang Xun's aim was to make these nobles lose their administrative ability and enjoy only privileges.
The idea of how to do this was to ask a specialist scholar later, but when it comes to games, he decides to design them after the goal is achieved.
In other words, ideally, if the administrative power of the nobles could be removed, the way to govern the entire kingdom by themselves would need to follow the pattern drawn on the whiteboard.
He couldn't say these words to Wu Song and others, so he could only bury them in his heart.
……
"In short, at the beginning of the game, each player is assigned a village governance, and they need to solve many conflicts in the village, and the player who governs the village to a certain standard can be promoted to the mayor of the town, so as to govern the town, and the player who meets the standard again can continue to be promoted...... Until they are promoted to the Executive Yuan, the people who are promoted to the Executive Yuan need to work together to solve the problems faced by the whole country. ”
"Regarding different positions, the problems faced are different, you have developed the royal power before, and you have already gained experience, the game of the Middle Ages Continent is equivalent to connecting countless royal powers into a dense tower-shaped network.
Each player has a different official position, needs to solve different problems, and is promoted, which is different from the rest of the games on the market, the rest is to let the player stand in an absolute high position at the beginning, such as being a monarch directly, and then use the resources in his hands to distribute and gradually grow.
Our game is completely different, each player is a part of the entire kingdom's administrative system, all players govern together, push the whole country to become strong or weak, and the officials at the bottom have to face the moderation of the officials at the top.
Players in high positions can dispatch low-level official players, and officials can even engage in limited political battles among themselves!
To use a metaphor, each player in this game is equivalent to a civil servant in a specific position, and their ultimate goal is to move up, climb up the ladder, and then exercise the duties of a Kingdom official and enjoy the corresponding treatment. ”
Zhang Xun took a sip of water, calmly looked at the few people below, paused, and said: "By the way, the game is not profitable, so there is no recharge entrance, players can only rely on wisdom if they want to be promoted to a higher official position and dominate others." ”
He put down his cup and asked, 'Do you understand?'
No one answered.
The people in Yingyang's studio were completely stunned, and Wu Song and the others had an incredible light in their eyes.
In Zhang Xun's description, where does this look like a game?
This is clearly creating a virtual officialdom.
It's just that in reality, officialdom involves all aspects, and in the game, the administrative ability itself is put in the largest position.
"Mr. Zhang, what is the mechanism for the appointment and dismissal of officials?" someone asked.
It's a question that hits the nail on the head.
Zhang Xun glanced at him and said: "The main reference is political performance, that is, the score of simulated decision-making in the game, but only the score is not enough, it also needs to be inspected and voted by the upper officials, and even the high-level of the Executive Yuan can directly promote the low-level official players for some reason, and the monarch can dispose of the appointment and dismissal of any player at will!"
Several people were immediately moved, they were all smart people, and they immediately realized the meaning of Zhang Xun's words, not simply measured by data, let alone affected by recharge, which was completely imitating officialdom in reality.
"This kind of game ......" Wu Song opened his mouth, a little unsure of how to describe it, and thought for a long time before he said: "If this is the case, isn't it true that only a very small number of social elites can be successfully promoted? Aren't most ordinary people destined to be mediocre petty officials like village heads? Such a model will never succeed!"
"Oh, why do you say that?" asked Zhang Xun with a smile.
