Chapter 356: The Three Great Tombs
At this point, the South Howling Fjord was officially in the hands of Lordaeron, and Vanessa walked around the neighborhood twice before finally deciding to establish a town south of the fortress of Vagard, named New Agamandel.
When the civilians were resettled in New Agamandel, she would send some administrative officials to manage it, and then the Howling Fjords would truly be an 'inseparable' part of Lordaeron.
On April 18, 26 years of the Black Gate, Vanessa returned to Lordaeron with a large army.
Her expedition can be regarded as a frontier expansion. As soon as she returned to the palace, she brought the historians in, what were you waiting for? I really don't have the eyesight, hurry up and write down my great achievements!
Naxxramas and Kel'thugad mean a lot to the Lich King and Vanessa, but because the battlefield is in the Howling Fjord, they don't attract much attention from the Alliance and the Horde.
There are nobles in the Stormwind Kingdom who are jealous of Lordaeron's expansion of territory, but it is useless for them to envy it, the Stormwind Kingdom is too far away from Northrend, and it is completely worth the loss for them to come over and occupy an enclave.
Only the dwarf master craftsman was more curious about the principle of Naxxramas's flight, and brought a large number of engineers to study it, Vanessa did not refuse to come, and she could see it if she wanted, and the mage of Dalaran wanted to take the whole city into the sky, and she also wanted to make her Liberty fly!
An air fortress capable of flying was so convenient that the dwarf master craftsman didn't go as far as she thought, but she also enjoyed studying the subject, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.
Some of the dwarf engineers lived in the Lordaeron embassy district, studying all kinds of drawings every day, and Vanessa solved their worries, that is, money, money, and money!
Cleared of the threat of the undead, the entire realm of Lordaeron is breathed with new life.
Vanessa first organized people to build the mausoleum of Terenus II by hand, which was not easy to do before, but now that the 'first evil' Kel'thugad has been subdued, from all aspects, it is logical to build a mausoleum for her cheap godfather.
The stonemasons were skilled craftsmen, and with the drawings in hand, they built a mausoleum for the former king on the island in the middle of the lake of clear water in the Tirisfard woodlands, which was not too large but not too small.
Galia paid her respects and made an epitaph for the mausoleum.
"May this father rest here unburdened by the wickedness of his rebellious son, and may the blood-stained crown be lost and forgotten forever."
In addition to the tomb of Terenus II, the tomb of Archmage Antonidas of Dalaran was also built, and the tomb of Uther, which was greatly expanded.
The three tombs don't cost much, but they have a good effect on boosting morale.
Gianna made an epitaph for the tomb of Antonidas.
"Archmage Antonidas, Chief Mage of Kenrito. Once again, the magnificent city of Dalaran has regained its prosperity - you will not die in vain, my dearest friend, and we remember you with love and glory. ”
Vanessa personally went to pay homage to Uther's tomb and made an epitaph.
"Uther has sworn to defend the kingdom of Lordaeron to the death, and despite the betrayal of his most beloved student, we believe in the immortality of his soul. Even when bad luck befell our homeland, he still watched over us. His light will illuminate the path of all humanity – and as long as we continue to follow his example, he will never disappear. ”
Truth be told, this evaluation is not ordinarily high! Uther's life and past are definitely not worthy of this assessment.
But Vanessa still did it with great fanfare, referring to Guan Erye's experience, she was shaping Uther in the direction of a saint.
Anyway, this man is dead, and he praises him, will he still jump out and say no? Impossible!
The strength of the Knights of the Silver Hand is too strong, they must be given a strong belief in loyalty and patriotism, and once someone has a new idea, he will be spurned by the values of the entire environment!
Vanessa spent the next few days in meetings, meetings, and meetings.
At the Council of Kingdoms, ministers offered to pardon prisoners in the country.
"The pardon of prisoners other than those on death row and their return to work everywhere is an effective solution to our current underpopulation, and at the same time demonstrates the benevolence of the regent."
Nicholas who has been fooling around the population lately. Duke Serenhof made such a suggestion.
Vanessa pondered for a long time, and did not immediately agree, but asked rhetorically: "The practice of amnesty is simple to implement, but this matter involves a lot of problems, and we simply and rudely release the prisoners back to their respective villages and towns, will this have an impact on the law and order in various places?" What will the sheriffs of the villages and towns think? The criminals they worked so hard to catch were released back by us, and will they still do their work in the future? Besides, why should my benevolence be given to a group of criminals, and not to the good civilians who have always supported me? ”
Her bunch of questions confused all the ministers, isn't it customary for the king to show his benevolence and grant amnesty to the world?! That's been the way we've been doing it for thousands of years!
However, the ministers selected by Vanessa are basically incompetent, and the pardon of criminals before was just a habitual operation, and I didn't think about it, but now when I think about it, I can also taste the problems.
Old Ferding clearly expressed his support: "What His Highness said makes sense, we can't give orders in a hurry. The glory of the kingdom should be given to the hard-working commoners, not to the criminals. ”
The rest of the paladin-born nobles also agreed, they didn't realize the hidden problems before, and now that they have raised it, they must not be careless.
You can't simply and rudely release criminals, but amnesty to the world also has its reason for existence, the laws and regulations of these years are not transparent, and they are full of shady, even if there are many paladins in Lordaeron, it is useless, unjust, false and wrongful cases are everywhere, and releasing criminals can save many people at one time.
On the one hand, Vanessa knew that this should be done, and on the other hand, she felt that it was too brainless to release it directly.
Faced with a dilemma, she could only treat them differently, and she muttered a little: "In this way, take the five-year sentence as the boundary, and those below five years will be managed by probation." ”
She explained the general meaning of probation, and what problems will arise in the specific implementation still need to be specifically analyzed.
"Those who are more than five years old, less than twenty years old, should be concentrated and cultivated, and no longer involve them in the work of building roads. For those serving more than 20 years, the status quo is maintained. ”
Judging from what Vanessa knows, the workload of road construction is too large, and it is not good to eat or sleep, and it is completely a tool man's treatment.
According to the current labor intensity, it is considered a strong physique to be able to live for two years.
Death row prisoners and felons can be dragged to build roads, and ordinary petty theft is enough.
