Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Thunder Empire

The political system on Thunder Cliff actually has a bit of a planned economy, anyway, as long as you work, you basically have enough to eat. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Zhongli will not let anyone go hungry, but this also creates a certain amount of inertia.

He always wanted to reform, but there was a lot of opposition, and people were used to sitting back and enjoying what happened. Of course, there are also calls for reform, but they were small at first, and then they slowly grew, but how to reform became a disagreement among reformers, some advocated capital economy, and some advocated feudal development.

The capital economy is to develop capitalism, but Lu Zhongli does not want to make his territory become a miasma, and relies on money to settle the situation. This is not in line with the development of Kalimdor, which is a world where power is respected, and money cannot buy power.

Feudal development is to establish a kingdom, and then divide the nobles, relying on military merits or strength to divide the feuds. But Lu Zhongli was afraid that too much power would be sealed, which would affect the cohesion, so he kept pressing.

But now it's a little irrepressible, there are still too many races on Thunder Cliff, and they don't want to be Lu Zhongli, but think more about themselves, just because they don't have a sense of belonging.

It doesn't matter if they don't have a heart with themselves, they only know after they are sealed. Even if they are all reversed, Lu Zhongli still has Thunder Cliff, and he will not be without a foundation.

What's more, he can also clean up those lazy people on Thunder Cliff, they have seriously hindered the development of Thunder Cliff, and it is time not to clean it up.

Returning to Mogaolei, he stayed and disbanded the army, compensated the fallen soldiers, and then convened the National Council. This is not a national assembly, but a meeting of upper and middle leaders.

The first step at the congress was to vote on whether or not to establish a country, and seventy percent of the people voted in favor. Then it can be determined that Lu Zhongli will be the king of the new country, a position that no one else can shake.

The second item is to decide the name of the country, more than fifty percent of the people voted for the name of the empire with Thunder Cliff, and the empire decided to call it the Thunder Empire.

After these two votes, preparations for the coronation of the emperor began. The coronation ceremony was held in the main square of High Cliff and was attended by more than 30,000 people.

When Oz put on the crown for Lu Zhongli, Lu Zhongli was officially crowned king. Suses then became queen, and Lu Rong and Lu Yu became princes.

After becoming the king, Lu Zhongli first determined the rank of the nobles, from the lowest knight, to the lord, and then to the male, son, earl, marquis, and duke, a total of seven ranks.

A knight can recruit a squire, a lord can recruit a tenth guard, a baron can recruit twenty guards, a viscount can recruit fifty guards, an earl can recruit a hundred guards, a marquis can recruit a hundred and fifty guards, and a duke can recruit two hundred guards.

Suthus's father, Oz, was made a duke, six of the seven archmages became counts, and the shamans of the soul vessel became counts. Illidan and Thunderstorm, who had just been promoted, also became counts.

Thirty-six people, including Woods Fire Shield, Connor Thunderaxe, and the Night Elves in the Titan Technology Laboratory, became viscounts, and another 168 barons were made barons.

As for lords and knights, these are not rewarded by the king, but recommended by people of the rank of viscount and above, and barons can only recommend knights.

Clay Akao, who had made great achievements, became the first nobleman to own a fief, but his fief was not very good, in the southern part of the barren Kodo Beast Cemetery, a piece of land with a size of 100 square kilometers.

Because it is occupied by centaurs all year round, there is not much good land left, and there are no plants or minerals, which is equivalent to showing the graves of Kodomon.

Although Clay was happy to get the fief, he didn't have the heart to manage it. That piece of broken land has no value at all, and after the village is established, the empire will have to pay taxes, so it is better to leave it like that!

Clay may have known that Lu Zhongli was expressing his displeasure with him, but he didn't say anything, because his purpose was not for himself, but for the entire Minotaur race. In this knighthood, the Minotaur has the advantage of the war, with five counts, seven viscounts and nineteen barons, which can be said to be on an equal footing with the Night Elves. You must know that the Night Elves have one duke, seven counts, ten viscounts, and twenty-four barons.

After the first bullet was knighted, Lu Zhongli opened the second bullet, the fief. Clay was the first to own a fiefdom, but he was definitely not the only one.

The following year, Lu Zhongli gave the Razor Canyon south of Caohai Town to the boar man Kule Blazingmane as a fief, and asked him to take all the boar people on Thunder Bluff to live there.

In the third year, Lu Rong basically pacified the Stonetalon Mountains, and Lu Zhongli sealed the bear monster shaman Murphy Thistle in the Giant Wood Valley of the Stonetalon Mountains, where the living conditions were very similar to those of the Gray Valley. Of course, Murphy was joined by all the bear monsters on Thunder Bluff.

The entire southeast Xunwei was emptied, and Lu Zhongli developed a planting base there, although the wind was a little strong, but it was still quite suitable for planting fruit trees.

Now the Thunder Empire has three large regions, Mogoray himself is governed by Lu Zhongli, the Stonetalon Mountains are handed over to the eldest son Lu Rong, and Etheliso is currently managed by the three Minotaurs of Clay, Crow and Woods.

Due to the complete development of the Stonetalon Mountains, the Wyvern became the most common flying mount in the Thunder Empire. Each village has a flying point for a Wyvern, which is used to relay important information and errands.

Lurong in the Stonetalon Mountains has built a scorching sun town, which is built on a cliff face, and although it can be climbed through the plank road, it is still not as fast as riding a bipedal wyvern. This has become a transit point for druids to study in Ashenvale, although it is not very prosperous, but it is definitely not far behind, not to mention that there are the best bipedal wyvern trainers living here, each of them is rich, as long as you domesticate a bipedal wyvern you can eat and drink for two years, is there any better money to make than this?

At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, everything was very peaceful, and to Lu Zhongli's relief, Lu Rong was finally promoted to become a hero, and also kidnapped a night elf from the gray valley as his wife.

Due to the complete privatization of property after the establishment of the empire, the Thunder Empire also produced many wealthy people. The richest man was Lu Zhongli himself, who controlled the metal minerals and farms of the entire empire, and was the largest arms dealer, although he sold very few weapons every year because of the absence of war, but still made a considerable income.

The third bullet is the army, and Lu Zhongli has formalized several legions with a lot of wealth. The first to be formalized was the Knights of the Auspicious Cloud Dragon, a powerful Sky Combat Force and the Thunder Cliff Sky Garrison Regiment, forming a knight order with a temporary number of 200 people.
