PS: Speaking of the vote that the author did, I originally thought about it, although someone must have voted for it...... However, after enlivening the atmosphere, there should be a few useful answers left in addition to C(4), and the results are all C(4)...... Halo((?( //?Д/?/)?)) /

Well, forget it, let's update it first! Yesterday's three watches, today's one watch (something), towards the road of the two more beasts bravely forward, if there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, the right way in the world is two more......

———— Dividing Line————

It's time to put an end to the Middle Ages!

Well...... Ahem, such a slogan of the second middle school usually won't take long to hit the street......

Ferdinand understood this.

Ferdinand didn't think he was good at conspiracies, and he wasn't very proficient in soft power. However, he knows that when the so-called soft power is valued, either your hard power is not comparable to others, so you have to talk about soft power to comfort yourself, such as the so-called traditional culture or seed oil cooking; Either you have a great advantage in hard power, and you can help with soft power! Like what...... Or is it the so-called traditional culture or seed oil dish boiling or something......

So it's actually the same thing, the key is still in your hard power!

The main reason why the confrontation between the royal power ~ aristocracy of continental Europe and England is very different is not that the British king is stupid or the French king is resourceful or the HRE emperor is brainless, but depends on the comparison of the strength of the king and the nobles.

On the European continent, with the strengthening of centralization, the increase in state revenues, the frequent wars on the European continent, and the fact that the non-capitalist agricultural economy was still very strong, the king had an increasingly powerful standing army, and soon greatly reduced the rights of parliament and aristocracy. It is almost equivalent to the point of removing its power.

Therefore, Ferdinand's means of suppressing the Aragonese nobles was very simple, a strong army! Didn't the king of Aragon be forced to sign a law limiting power, as the king of England did? How did they get it back? Isn't it just a war! And, win!

Ferdinand did not hesitate to deal with the nobility through any system reform, as long as he mastered a strong enough army, a strong enough productive force, and with the tide of history and pushed with the tide, the power of the king naturally overwhelmed the nobility. If we are too impatient to transplant the modern system, it is easy to change it to an "ideal country".

As a person who has mastered a large number of future systems and science and technology, Ferdinand's best skill is to climb the technology tree, improve productivity, make money, and strengthen the army......

After this was done, with advanced productivity and strong ships, he was able to patiently talk with the nobles about life and ideals, and make the French honestly dare not make trouble.

At the same time, Ferdinand also had a perk that other time-travelers did not have, America, a cake big enough to swallow the whole of Spain in one gulp.

Therefore, Ferdinand has guns in his hands, cakes in his arms, and a technology tree behind him, and political reform, there is no need to rush it. Some reforms of the economic system can be implemented in the near future, or they can be done slowly.

But did Ferdinand have any political issues that need to be addressed now? There are still some......

First, suppress the aristocracy!

⊙ ⊙! , doesn't it mean that Ferdinand is not in a hurry to tear up with the nobles?

"Alas......"

At the court in Barcelona, Ferdinand looked westward with a complicated gaze.

He was referring to the nobility of Castile after the death of Queen Isabella.

If you want to secure the regency, you have to put pressure on it, maybe the Moorish rebellion can be artificially regulated, as a time bomb that catches you off guard......

Second, it is not too urgent, but more important, that is, the reform of the civil service system, and then ...... It also involves the field of education.

These things can be carried out in a hurry, but Ferdinand doesn't want to drag it all the time, after ten years, won't he have to play a game with the Castilian nobles, before that, make Aragorn look good......

The reform of the civil service system in modern Britain is, in the most general terms, "from the gift of official positions to the selection of meritocracy", and if it is interpreted so simply, it may give birth to the illusion that this is actually a faint monarch who is suddenly angry and trying to enforce impartial administration, thinking that it is just that His Majesty has changed his temperament and is no longer as willful as in the past......

But in fact, this has little to do with His Majesty the King. The people that His Majesty values are likely to be prime ministers, and as for the minor officials, I am afraid that they will not be able to enter the eyes of His Majesty the King.

The reform of the modern civil service system is actually the product of a struggle and compromise between the conservative forces of the landed aristocracy, the financial aristocracy and the big bourgeoisie and the liberal forces of the industrial and commercial bourgeoisie.

Of course, in the present Spain this struggle is practically non-existent, and where can the present Spanish economy produce such a powerful industrial and commercial bourgeoisie. Even national industry – Ferdinand had plans to create a national industrial system in Spain – is far from fully developed, and exciting changes are taking place in Sardinia and, possibly, Corsica.

However, this did not prevent Ferdinand from taking corresponding reform measures, because the reform of the civil service did improve the quality and efficiency of officials, and was conducive to the further development and growth of the industrial and commercial bourgeoisie, which in Spain in turn promoted the germination.

Besides, the court of Aragon was indeed going to be put in order. Ferdinand couldn't bear the fact that so many courtiers were syphilis patients, dangling in front of him all day long......

Ferdinand had already begun the reform in Sardinia, a complete reserved territory, with the officials accredited to Sardinia being examined and the appointment and examination of officials by a three-member commission that included Abravanel, Sandhonher, and the King's Deputy. In Sardinia, the magistrates have a modern government.

Recently, Ferdinand began to test the waters from the Kingdom of Sicily - using the Italians for experiments, without worrying about making big news, and there are many "beautiful legends" in Sicily, the officials were slow to respond in the Italian war, the logistics were in shambles, and syphilis spread on the island and caused chaos in law and order.

Ferdinand sent Sisneros to Sicily to establish the items and criteria for examination, announced that in the second half of 1496 there would be a public examination of the officials of the Kingdom of Sicily, weeding out unqualified officials and hiring new ones, and at the same time abolished the privilege of the court and regional governors of the Kingdom of Sicily to appoint officials personally.

As for Sardinia, and Ferdinand's own court, in 1496, Ferdinand was going to play "Pick Up the Doctor" again......
