Chapter 1217: Hegemony

Roddy didn't know much about economics, but in a world where productivity was in the medieval stage, his little bit of historical common sense was enough to give strategic guidance to the current kingdom of Karen.

And through his understanding of the history of the earth, what Roddy wants to do now is not just rely on the trade surplus to increase national strength. For him, keeping the entire kingdom under control in the war was more important than increasing productivity.

The knowledge that Luo Di learned and the edification he received from childhood to adulthood actually had distinctive characteristics - for example, as a country that grew up in a country with a history of more than 1,000 years of centralized power, at the beginning of "Ripp", it was difficult to understand how the Karen Kingdom, where power was scattered among various lords and the great nobles with a high degree of autonomy, could be called a complete "country"...

Under this feudal system of governance, fighting a war sometimes sounds like child's play, so after gaining nominal rule through war, Roddy has been implementing and changing the originally loose system, formulating more detailed laws, and concentrating power towards the center.

In times of peace, such an act is bound to cause a see-saw and division of different forces, and according to the previous history of the Karen Kingdom, it is not without a king to do this, but the final result is that it ends in failure.

But for Roddy, the sudden and large-scale attack of the demons has given him the opportunity to "unite the front" - under the pressure of survival, the cabinet regime with absolute force has a legitimate reason to send troops to various parts of the kingdom, after all, they are the only existence that can sweep away the demons.

And in this process, those old aristocratic forces who once wanted to secretly stir up trouble and stumble, even if they chose to stop a few months ago, now have to bow their heads and accept the end of being overshadowed and supervised by the army...

Under the premise of "foreign wars", Luo Di did not rashly gather troops and make large-scale actions, but only followed the step-by-step "where to alarm and where to save" - as time went by, a large number of recruits quickly matured in combat missions one after another, and the number of transport planes increased to a total of 18 in February.

As a result, the airborne troops of the Karen Kingdom have formed an "air police" force patrolling the continent together with the dragons.

And after "air support" became the norm, another plan of Roddy was launched.

New military airfields were built at seven fortifications in the kingdom of Karen, and four airfields were also built next to their capitals after gaining the trust of four of the eastern kingdoms.

Groups of soldiers carrying ordnance became the "garrison" stationed at these airports, and at the same time, it also changed from an "air force airfield" that was originally convenient for supporting against demons to a veritable "military base".

It is not only responsible for "guarding", but also specially assigned the "trade department" to connect with local officials and carry out various trade affairs with a wide range of radiation.

In the process of continuous trade, the currency of the Karen Kingdom was also gradually circulated and infiltrated into other countries on the continent under the instruction of Roddy, and even many regions of Rasiman gradually used this unforgeable "currency" as hard currency.

The people in power in most countries obviously do not realize what this kind of "paper money" means, and they are completely unwary of this blatant financial erosion, and some even take the initiative to incorporate the "card dollar" currency into their own financial system and set the exchange rate ratio.

These small states were not very powerful in the first place, and the leaders were more warlords than kings, because they had coups and riots almost every few years, and whoever had the most fists listened to him.

And now, when the Karen Kingdom descended on the "invincible posture", these warlord leaders are desperately buying advanced weapons to arm their men in order to maintain their dominance, and at the same time obey most of the demands of the Karen Kingdom.

They spent a lot of money on buying weapons, and had to trade with those mineral deposits, spars and even all kinds of rare resources in the country, but the Karen Kingdom didn't seem to treat them badly.

As for the lives and deaths of these civilians, these rulers simply don't care.

The transport planes brought those priceless magic crystals, ores, and precious resources from all over the world to the cities of Houllier and Elson, and the cost and purchase price were far cheaper than the "normal" purchase price...

This is the huge advantage brought by the information gap and the crushing of science and technology, to put it mildly, Roddy is now letting the Karen Kingdom suck blood on the continent, but these countries that are "sucking blood" are willing to do it...

And when spring came again, the farmers around the city of Hollier did not start a large-scale spring ploughing as usual... Smoke from the burning coal mine can be seen everywhere, factories are running day and night, and the nearby farmland is in ruins.

Because many peasants found that they had food and drink in the factory, and the accommodation was not expensive, although it was hard to work for more than ten hours a day, but after working like this for a year, the salary was enough to go back to the village to build a new house and marry a wife.

Because Luo Di enacted a number of laws to protect the rights and interests of workers, even if there was a violation of the law, the salary eventually significantly exceeded the income of the original farmer, which is one of the huge dividends brought by industrialization, as long as the money printing machine is fast enough, the workers will never want to go back to farming.

On the one hand, the integration of cultivated land, the development of agriculture in the direction of mechanization, improve efficiency, save labor, and on the other hand, ensure the area of cultivated land, even if the current amount of grain imported from Rasiman is large, the price is low, and the quality is sufficient...

These policies were just a microcosm of the kingdom, and when the sun shone into the tower on the first day of March, Talia pinned her hair behind her ears and looked at Nephi in surprise, "That's great!

"I'll have to work hard, or I won't be able to participate in your research at all, but I've heard that Master Ethan has achieved good results during this time, and after sending three papers, there are already archmages recruiting him!"

After assisting her mother in improving the "Hovila" circle three times, Nephie returned to Hollier City and was hired as a "first-class researcher" in the lowest laboratory in the magic tower, although the war is ongoing, but there has been no larger war for several months, so she is now reassigned to Talia.
