April was spent in Randy's frenzy, and despite the kingdom getting back on track and a large royal palace being built in Gothenburg, Randy's mood still didn't improve.

The specific reason is still the same as before......

No king or archduke responded to his request, not even a reply to himself, but rushed to invade Poland, Randy felt as if he had been slapped in the face, despite his efforts, from Iceland to Livonia, from the Arctic to Jutland, the entire Norman kingdom was like a huge iron curtain over Europe, and all this Randy did in just over two years, so great that it was enough to make Randy compare with the great conquerors of ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

But those short-sighted European royal families still chose to ignore Randy.

Of course, the reality is not what Randy imagined.

Europe, especially the various royal families of Eastern Europe, did not underestimate Randy.

On the contrary, the rulers of various countries, except for the fact that the distance is too far and the news is not smooth, all attach great importance to Randy.

If anyone privately said that Randy was a harmless little white pigeon, he would definitely be despised to death.

After receiving Randy's handwritten letter, several emperors, imperial princes, kings, and archdukes were very nervous, and they really couldn't figure out what Randy's idea was.

But in any case, it is absolutely true that it has something to do with Poland.

Therefore, several emperors and princes were in a hurry in an instant, did Randy want to annex all of Poland?

In this era, there has never been a great deal of unanimity among the great powers, and such a beautiful thing as a peaceful partition pays attention to the principle of a quick hand and a slow hand, and everything Randy thought about before was just his personal wishful thinking.

But Randy himself doesn't know these reasons, so Randy wants to get revenge on these damn bastards!

Before that, though, Randy has a few more important tasks to do.

Although I don't want to admit it, these tasks are of great help to continue to strengthen the centralization of power and improve the overall national strength of the Norman Kingdom, and even rank in importance above dealing with those bastards.

First, unify weights and measures.

Second, unify the written and spoken language.

These two unifications are the two things that a centralized state must do.

Enhance the centripetal force of the country, promote the integration of ethnic groups in the country, and more importantly, better promote tax revenue.

But what kind of weights and measures are practiced? Randy wasn't sure about that.

If we say that the most accurate and convenient is naturally the future of the whole world to jointly implement the rice, liters, kilogram system, decimal system.

But this is the most difficult thing to do, because there is no tradition at all.

If you are like the legendary Qin State, directly promoting your own country's weights and measures, it seems to be a bit overbearing, and the rebellion of the Six Nations is not without reason.

"Host, you don't have to worry about this at all, you just need to publish the decree, and Enides will automatically provide you with the effect of the decree reform, and since you have established a complete central government system, Enides has now unlocked the decree interface."

Following Enides' prompt, Randy opens the edict screen.

The whole decree interface is divided into two columns!

The left column shows the policies that Randy has already implemented: establish a local bureaucracy, establish a central bureaucracy, take back judicial power, prohibit aristocratic private fighting, establish a royal knighthood, etc.

The column on the right is the resolution that Randy can implement: the unified weights and measures are divided into several categories, the modern weights and measures system is implemented, the British weights and measures are implemented, the traditional weights and measures are implemented, and the Eastern weights and measures are implemented, etc., and the bonus effect is gradually reduced.

The positive effect is to increase the flow of commerce and trade and promote national integration.

The negative effect is the decline in the popular sentiment of non-mainstream ethnic groups.

In addition, the unification of language and writing is also divided into several resolutions!

Latin, classical Gothic, Pan-Germanic, English, French, Gaelic, etc......

Latin was a matter for the Romans, and Randy didn't think about it.

English and French are all non-mainstream and are not taken into account.

Classical Gothic is quite literary, but not many people use it now.

As for the pan-Germanic language...... Sounds pretty awesome!

So Randy opened the annotation......

As a branch of Indo-European Semitic languages, the Germanic language family is divided into three sub-branches.

Include......

Northern Branch: Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic,

Western Branch: English, German, Dutch, Afrikaans, Flemish,, Frisian,

Eastern Branch: Gothic, Vandal, Burgundian, Lombard, Crimean Gothic,

There are now many Germanic languages in the Empire, and we need to classify them, compile an alphabet, unify words and sentences, unify grammar, and promote a single and consistent court language and educational language.

That's a lot of work, but don't worry, Enides will do it for you, all you need is 400,000 gold coins and at least ten classical colleges in every part of the country.

Randy almost vomited blood when he heard this......

400,000 !!!

His tax last month was only a little more than 380,000 yuan, plus a little balance last month, adding up to only a little more than 400,000 yuan, and now he has to feed all of them to Enides, and the implementation of unified weights and measures only needs 150,000.

After a period of bargaining, the two sides finally reached an agreement, and the two resolutions were added together, and the total amount of 550,000 gold coins that Randy needed to pay was reduced to 400,000 gold coins, and it was still paid in installments, without bearing interest, and 80,000 gold coins were paid every month, which was paid off in five months.

However, Enides also said that the reform of weights and measures can be completed in half a year, but the reform of the common language will take more time.

Randy calculated, before the recent establishment of the government system, the monthly income was 200,000, and now the government system has been established, with a monthly income of nearly 400,000, minus the reform fees of paying 80,000 gold coins for five consecutive months, so that he can still have an income of more than 300,000 yuan, and he still earns inside and outside, and after the unification of weights and measures and writing, the national integration of the Norman kingdom has accelerated, and England belongs to the Vikings, Saxons, Scandinavian Vikings, Prussians, Normandy Duchy Francis, These peoples will be reunited into a new people, the Normans.

Of course, this is a process, an extremely slow process.

Decades, centuries, even millennia, and not necessarily successfully.

Most of the time, it is the end of Randy's defeat on the front foot, and the fall apart of the empire on the back foot.

So I can't die a second time!

It's understandable that Randy is so afraid of things now, in fact, after the resurrection, Randy can make a comeback and reach today's position is unprecedented.

Randy has been winning, and that's enough.

The handling of internal affairs has once again come to an end......

In May, after more than a month of recuperation and replenishment, Randy's army swelled to an impressive level again.

The feudal mobilization order for military reform, and the mobilization order for militia reserves in various localities, two reforms were introduced.

Randy officially canonized a large number of nobles in the Norman kingdom, including forty-six counts, one hundred and fifty-seven viscounts, and four hundred and nine barons.

And after measuring their territory, the number of military service they should undertake is given.

Randy was able to command more than 30,000 nobles under their command with the King's orders and official documents stamped with heraldic patterns.

The reserve mobilization system in various places is implemented in the territories directly under Randy's own jurisdiction.

Five cities in England, including Normandy Castle in the Duchy of Normandy.

Six cities in Scandinavia, including the Danish city of Zealand and the city of Visby in Gotland.

In the five cities of Prussia and Livonia, with these sixteen cities or castles as the center, nearly 8 million people under Randy's rule were all included in the reserve mobilization system, and in the off-season, they would be organized by the local magistrates to carry out simple military training, and in the event of war, they would respond to the call to join the war as conscripts.

However, Randy's mobilization order does not include two territories controlled by the Celts.

Wales, with Caernarfon as the center, and the Irish Territory with Dublin as the center, had a different system in place.

The Celtic allegiance in these places is still Artoria, and the impression of Randy is still that the esteemed Queen Majesty is only the marriage partner, and Randy believes that if he dies, or Artoria dies, the Celtic region will rebel! Unless Artoria has an heir with him, which seems unlikely.

In addition to this, there is another region, which is Iceland with Krejavik as the center.

Although the place was nominally a fiefdom of Aurora, it was too far away and the population was not large, so it escaped without military service.

According to Enides' calculations, the entire Norman kingdom had a population of about 7 million.

Among them, there are 1.2 million young and middle-aged men, although the number is small, but there are also a lot of them.

Of these, about 500,000 were in the hands of the Norman nobles, and Randy was really able to mobilize less than 700,000 young adults.

And these 700,000 people are not mobilized just by saying mobilization!

The mobilization was divided into three steps,

First, preliminary mobilization.

That is, to mobilize troops without affecting agriculture and economic development as much as possible, all soldiers in the prime of life who are not more than 40 years old can be mobilized, and the total number will not exceed 150,000.

Second, mass mobilization.

It is usually used in a general decisive battle with a powerful country, and in the case of barely taking care of farming, as many soldiers under the age of 50 and over 16 as possible, the total number is about 300,000.

Third, national mobilization.

The destruction of the country and the extinction of the species are close at hand, and the soldiers of the whole country will not retreat, and the total number is about 500,000 to 700,000.

After the completion of the reserve system, Randy's confidence is a lot full, and the English garrison and the Normandy garrison have all been recruited, so that the nobles in France should also be a little more restrained, and the Duke of Brittany, Aaron IV, is a little better, after all, he also belongs to the kind of grand duke who has opinions about the king of France, and thinks that he can be an ally with Randy or something, so the western territory of the Duchy of Normandy is quite stable.

But in the south, the Île-de-France region directly under King Philip II of France, and the bold Charles of Burgundy on the east side were a little excessive, sending people to the Duchy of Normandy every now and then to make trouble, secretly moving boundary monuments or seizing water sources, stealing cattle and so on, and there were even rumors in the French court that Randy was not a French nobleman in the first place and should not occupy French territory.

If Randy wanted to occupy Normandy in northwestern France, he would have to bow down like King Philip II of France.

When Randy heard the rumors, he scolded directly! Lao Tzu is also the overlord of the north, the owner of the Norman tin can, and he actually bows down to your little king of France, give me as far as I can.

That's Randy's response......

When Philip II asked Randy a few months ago if he could contribute to your king, Randy wrote back: Get out!

The relationship between the Norman Kingdom and the Kingdom of France can be imagined.

But Randy doesn't care about these now, Randy is no longer what he used to be, and he is no longer the little earl with a thousand or hundreds of centaurs under his hands.

There are a total of five garrison legions, plus Randy's main legion, for a total of 75,000 troops.

Although it is a little difficult for these forces to sweep across Europe, it is not easy to deal with your little France.

In terms of the military, Randy resolutely implemented the political system of several powerful branches of the Song Dynasty.

The central forbidden army has been expanded, and the original army of more than 30,000 has been expanded to more than 50,000.

Heavy Cavalry/Knight Guards/150 men......

Norman Royal Knights/Knight Guards/800 people......

Improved Tomahawk Cavalry/Norman Heavy Cavalry/2000 men......

Battlefield Order/Religious Knights/500 ......

Randy has a total of 3,450 hoplites under his command.

Light cavalry currently has only one type of professional hussar, but Randy feels that he doesn't need any more, with 2,400 professional hussars.

Infantry, the backbone of the army, 24,000 professional Viking warriors.

Viking Death Assault Fighters, 7000 people.

Dwarven Chamber Guards, 4,000 people.

Randy's infantry numbered 35,000 men.

Ranged Troops: 3,000 Crossbowmen, 5,000 Longbowmen, 500 Sherwood Marksmen, and 8,500 ranged troops.

Randy's professional army totals 49,000, nearly 50,000 troops.

Such a force is enough for Randy to be promoted to one of the European powers.

And the perfect reserve system, excellent central government, and good financial situation, these conditions are cumulative, enough for Randy to support a strong army that is not inferior to any European continental power!

This is the reason why Randy was able to be complacent, peeking into the hegemony of the European continent, and even the greatest reliance on the supreme throne.

Of course, while it is gratifying to maintain an extremely strong army, what makes Randy even more proud is that he has a powerful navy that is unique in northern Europe, with a total of 7,000 elite Viking pirates, piloting 150 loach ballista warships, 50 of which have just been built, and are equipped with three columns of ballistas and a building structure, enough to transport more than 20,000 troops at a time, and Randy can temporarily recruit more than 800 large merchant ships if necessary.

Such a terrifyingly powerful fleet, enough to run rampant in the Baltic Sea, is a well-deserved sea power, today's European Great Britain is about to die, Spain and Portugal are still a shadowless thing, the Dutch navy of the Low Kingdom can not even be independent, and can compete with the Norman navy Looking at the entire European continent is only four countries.

Two of them were Venice and Genoa, two trading nations with strong navies but weak armies and only a Mediterranean area.

The other two, one of which was the Eastern Romans, the most powerful empire in the traditional sense, roamed the Mediterranean with Greek warships and giant galleys.

And the other, strictly speaking, is not a state, but an alliance.

Its name: Arab League!
