The current Donglan Principality is no longer the poor and weak small northern country it used to be, with new people, new legions, and new religions, and too many changes have made the country have undergone sharp changes in its fundamental structure.

The main body of the people is composed of the northern human race and the gray-blooded elves, and there are no specific statistics on the proportion between the two, but even if there is a lot of difference in numbers, the gap in comprehensive strength should not be too big, after all, the past tassel kingdom, as the strongest country of the four northern elves, is far stronger than the weakest country Donglan, and the individual strength of the elves is far beyond that of humans, and the high-level combat power and heritage are incomparable.

In order to avoid the accumulation of contradictions between the two sides for a long time, I rejected all admonitions about conventions and conventions, and forcibly implemented a model of cohabitation in the same place.

Perhaps this will lead to friction and trouble at first, but it is far better than accumulating contradictions with misunderstandings and differences, and then accumulating contradictions to an explosion under the guidance of well-intentioned people and careerists.

The Lan nationality is a product of a multi-ethnic composition, and he is a culturally constituted national concept, perhaps, as long as it is handled properly, it can achieve cultural identity and condense into a voice in the future.

The national composition is probably the only multi-ethnic state in the North, but what is even more special is the unique superstructure of the state and the principality.

The original Duchy of Donglan was a principality rather than a kingdom, because when he was established, he did rely on the power of some superpowers, and the first king Charles was also the grand duke of the powerful Intanro, and made promises and ostensible vassals.

As a pioneer knight, he opened up a new territory for a large country, obtained financial and powerful support, and became the lord of one side before claiming to be a vassal to the monarchy. This is a common trajectory in those emerging countries.

But Charles had one more process. After Donglan really succeeded in establishing a country. He tore up the dozen or so vassal covenants, yes, the girl was deceiving people from beginning to end, and he actually asked for aid and vassal from more than a dozen countries at the same time.

Of course, it was only later that I found out that those big countries had been tricked by it, but the result of Charles stepping on a dozen boats was that under mutual checks and balances, no one reaped the benefits. Instead, the Duchy of Donglan became independent, and in fact, the process was extremely complicated and arduous, and the geographical advantages (remote enough, and poor and without oil and water) also played a huge role.

But the side effect is probably that his own reputation is rotten, and even the Principality of Donglan has not had a good reputation since the founding of the country, and he is regarded as a barbarian by the countries in the Central Plains, and his reputation has fallen to the bottom.

This is also the historical origin of the fact that the rulers of all dynasties were kings rather than grand dukes, and even in the Duchy of Donglan, there were two dukes who survived. But Donglan's aristocratic system has basically nothing to do with the Central Plains. It's not once or twice that it's been treated as a "savage game".

However, in the era of feudal feudal feudal knights, these noble lords with heavy armies were indeed the backbone of the country when they were responsible for protecting their lords and territories, but now, for me, they are in a sense an obstacle.

At least my decree has been blocked not once or twice, I know that this group of guys is very difficult to entangle, all kinds of reasons and excuses are a basket, the contradictions between the central and local governments will never stop, especially when I am consciously carrying out centralized reform, and I am regarded as a target for being besieged by the masses, every month I can receive several letters of accusation from the local lords to Renee, accusing the traitorous ministers (me) of hoodwinking the king and making the people's lives miserable.

And this time, I arranged the elves in the new city under construction and the territory directly under the royal family, and the territory of the princely family faction, which made many big nobles complain, after all, everyone knows that compared to their art and magic products, the elves themselves are a lot of wealth.

This is also the reason why I don't dare to completely disperse the elves, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the lord is the heaven on his own earth, and I can't expect every noble lord to have a high moral bottom line, and make a few more vicious incidents, so that the elves who are already frightened birds are threatened again, and any long-term goals I have will be ruined.

But this kind of lord-dominated situation can never be delayed forever, perhaps because I am used to centralized power in the eternal night and the underworld, and I have been very dissatisfied with this feudal system from the beginning.

At that time, just opening up the free movement of the people caused a huge backlash and resistance, but it made me determined to carry out reforms.

But I also know that forced change touches the interests of all noble lords, and it is no different from causing a civil war, so in this regard, we can only boil frogs on a warm fire, kill people with slow knives, and come step by step.

The newly-born Duchy of Donglan is a theocratic state, with the Sleepless Person, the god of law, as the state religion, and there are two nominal supreme leaders, Her Royal Highness Renee, who holds secular power, and the other is naturally the supreme bishop Snowhoof, who holds the divine power......... When I think that the top leader of this country is actually a bear child, and the other is a bastard who is often chased and intercepted by the chengguan, I feel the urge to have a heart attack.

Well, speaking of which, some people have probably already guessed how I plan to take back the rights of the local nobles, the struggle between theocracy and secular power is endless, and the sword of theocracy that cannot be resisted can also make the local lords have nothing to say.

Since the Church of the Sleepless is the state religion, wouldn't it be too much to build cathedrals and branch churches in various territories?

Since the doctrine of the God of Law has been recognized by the people, it is not too much to let the Inquisitors and the Knights of Justice and the Spell Envoy patrol and preach throughout the entire Donglan area.

Since the clergy of the Church of the God of Law are humble and warlike, and have been welcomed and praised by all sectors of society, think about the long term. Expansion is inevitable, isn't it too much to take people in your territory?

Since......

Under a series of "sinces", when the power of the Church of the Law in the local area continues to increase, it will inevitably lead to a result in the end.

"Since the doctrine of the God of Law stipulates that all men are equal under the law, then it is not too much for you noble lord to commit a serious crime and cut off your head!"

At that time, I, who hold the divine power, will naturally be equivalent to taking back the vast majority of secular power and completing the centralization of power.

In my plan, the Ruolan Alliance is a huge giant. Then Dong Lan must be the vital heart of the giant and the fist that beats people. As the first country to recognize the God of Law as the state religion. As the headquarters of the Church of the God of Law, every step he makes will be borrowed and imitated by other parts, and it is absolutely impossible not to make it the best template in my consciousness.

"With the development of new technologies, civil floats and engineering vehicles going back and forth between cities will sooner or later become a reality, and when traffic and transportation are convenient, then. The mobilization of troops is convenient, the obligation of the lord to protect the people is gone, and the system of one territory and one country naturally has no need to exist. “

Of course, it's still far from being fully realized, but at least there's hope, isn't it?

All I have to do is sow the seeds and wait patiently for the harvest.

"Well, it's definitely not that I want to be lazy."

But in a sense, my identity is very embarrassing.

I'm the nominal ancestor of Donglan, then. I should be above the current kings, of course. This does not include real power, after all, those emperors in history are no longer in charge, if they abdicate and want to do something big, then the country is not far from turmoil.

So, in terms of secular kingship, I was in an awkward position, in a sense, any vassal who was loyal to me was a betrayal of the current owner of the royal power, but luckily Renee gave me complete trust, gave me the status of a "queen's mentor", and supported me in every way, so that I would not be too embarrassed in the court sequence.

But this is still a problem, after all, people's hearts will become, even if Renee retains her trust in me, but the people below will have their own ideas and interests, and Renee will also get married and have children (you think too much), there will also be a day of abdication, considering the future king's attitude towards me, I still have to plan early.

At the very least, I have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the court, and I have expressed my intention not to involve this part.

And in terms of theocracy, my position is as embarrassing as ever.

I have the identity of an oracle of the Sleepless, which is equivalent to the representative of the will of the Sleepless, but I do not return to the kingdom of God like other oracles, but remain on the earth, which is to have a certain overlap with the supreme bishop of the Church, who is the supreme leader of the Church, the agent of the true God on earth, and I am also the agent of the will of the true God, the words of the two substitutes...... Well, how can I always be in such an awkward position.

But since I brought out Snowhoof, and the current top management of the Law Church is all my people, at least in the short term, there will be no problems, and when there is a change of leadership in the Law Church....... because of the relationship between Sleepless and me, there will be no problems.

The Sleepless Man was always at the heart of my plan, how could it be that he had problems.

As for military power, my identity is even more embarrassing.

With the establishment of countless new legions, the original system of the Royal Knights and the city defense army was obviously not suitable, and Donglan newly established a military department to coordinate the military affairs of the whole country.

Yes, the whole country, including various local lords......

Don't start these conspiracies that are destined to cause struggle, even in the current military department, my identity is embarrassing.

In this era, there is no separation between military and government, the supreme leader of the national army is absolutely the owner of the royal power, Renee is the king, and the military department is also the institution that serves it, and as the nominal supreme leader of the military department, I am also the representative of the royal power.

Well, I also know that it is very troublesome for this generation to come and act in the past, but the people of this era like to talk about this set, if it does not conform to its legal principles and the unspoken rules between the aristocracy, there will be no authority, and without authority, the people below will play tricks and disobey, and they will not be able to do anything.

"That's why I hate these primitive elm heads, it's really troublesome."

Ahem, back to business.

The situation of the military headquarters is the same as that of the regime, Renee is nominally in power, but since the newly formed legions are in the hands of my knights, and I am her representative, all the generals are under my command, and the military headquarters is equivalent to my hands.

This is obviously abnormal, but what is even more abnormal is that everyone takes it for granted.

In the end, the conclusion is that although my identity is embarrassing, in a sense, I am the number one person in Donglan, which is somewhat similar to the sulfur mountain city that year, Adam and Xiaohong don't care about anything, and Margaret is very good at managing daily affairs, but the real person in charge has become me a prisoner.

And this kind of system is obviously not what I expected, I have a lot of things to do, and I will not go out or anything in the future, and it is very possible that I will not be there for a long time, if they really develop a dependency mentality, there will be trouble in the future.

Therefore, I want to take the initiative to disappear, cultivate their initiative and sense of responsibility, and do it all the same with me or not.

"Having said all this, is it still to find a reason for yourself to be lazy? Since you know that you may be busy in the future, can't you first exert your rare diligence? Your office has been overcrowded, and the living room and kitchen are full. Where is your sense of responsibility and initiative? ”

Because of the magic pet contract between the two hearts, even if you slip away, you have to take this dead cat with you, which is probably the source of my unhappiness.

Ahem, don't listen to Heloise's nonsense, I'm not here to be lazy, I... I am here to train my subordinates so that they can take charge of themselves as soon as possible!

"Do you train your subordinates' peek-a-boo and catch-and-seek skills?"

"Haven't you found His Highness Roland yet?"

"The chengguan brigade had a return just now, but now it's gone. Damn, Your Highness actually hid there. ”

Now another team of knights has passed, hmph, actually used the royal knights to carry out a personal task of finding people, this is public power and private use, this is too unusual, I must talk about them when I go back.

"You still have the face to talk about others, how much administrative cost can you save by staying in the office obediently."

"Dead cat, shut up! Otherwise, I'll turn your three meals into dog biscuits. ”

“…… Do you believe that I find a chance to be like you, shout 'I'm Roland' first, and then square dance and sing Apple? It's still the old Yangge version. ”

Instantly thinking of that terrible scene, I immediately shuddered.

"I surrender, please don't."

Considering that Cheng Dù, who has no face and no skin, is definitely not worse than me, and the result of fighting the lower limit is definitely a lose-lose situation, I immediately relented.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it, by the way, there seems to be a market in the south of the city that has a caravan from the Kingdom of Aris, and their pickled cabbage and candy are very famous, so why don't you try it. By the way, there is also an opera by the Ashiro Opera Company at 3 p.m., and their ace singers and backbone dancers are elves. ”

Well, the meaning is already obvious, it's almost a direct bribe...

"Let's go, let's go book tickets now!"

Where to be lazy...... Where to take a vacation is not a vacation, since it's all the same, let's follow her. (To be continued......)

PS: What, I'm off today, so I'll write more and more
