Speaking of reclaiming wasteland, this year is the first time in Luo Ming's life, in the past, he only planted some flowers and plants on the earth on the yard with palm-sized land, and his experience was limited, and the preparation at hand was not sufficient, so he only cultivated 1,200 acres.

First of all, he must have been able to grab a lot of land, at least a few thousand acres, in the chaos of the beginning of spring. In addition, if we buy another batch of slaves and drive them to cultivate them, it is estimated that 3,000 acres of new land will be added in the whole year.

At this rate, by the third year, he would have tens of thousands of acres of arable land in his hands, at least the standard of a baron—and his forces could swell enough to compete with the county guard Earl—and at this time, no one would be able to handle him casually.

It's not that the lord of the duchy can't even balance the power of an earl, but it's not in the interests of the royal family to make a big move - one of the highest interests of the royal family is to maintain stability, as long as the system of the duchy is maintained to operate steadily, they will always be the most profitable of the principality, after all, they are equal to the banker.

But when it was calm, it suddenly forced a force that could fight with the earl, obviously it could not be suppressed in a day or two, and if it was unlucky, it would drag on for a few months, then there would be many careerists who would take the opportunity to jump out, either quietly pulling the royal family's hind legs, or simply responding to each other, and rebelling in other places, making the royal family anxious.

Of course, this kind of rebellion is not on the same level as those rebellions in ancient China, it has to be said that it is just an armed demonstration, and generally speaking, as long as the royal family signs a contract with them and gives them more benefits, they can immediately lay down their arms and switch back to the mode of "loyal ministers".

But the fact that the royal family is forced to sign a contract is enough to lose face, and it will make more people see the weakness of the royal family, stimulate their ambitions, and the vicious circle will continue - as long as there is a little possibility, the royal family will not be willing to act lightly.

Anyway, in the days when the news of a small place like his was already closed, not to mention the Internet, and even the telegraph or even the public postal system did not exist, if there was no one who was willing to investigate the reclamation of Lockin, and went to Brandon to report directly to the princess, maybe it would have been concealed for five or six years.

Not to mention five or six years later, even in the third year, he will start to expand abroad, and at that time, he will gradually transfer his roots beyond the borders of the country and become a de facto independent prince.

At that time, he, like the big capitalist in a multinational country, will not be very afraid of the government.

The government can shut down the multinational capitalist's enterprises, turn over his black accounts, arrest his executives, and freeze his assets at home, but it can also transfer the rest of his property abroad, and then deliberately leave a mess for the government to finish. The capitalists themselves must have suffered a lot after tearing their faces like this, but in that country, the collapse of large enterprises and factories, the layoff of thousands of employees and workers, and the bankruptcy of countless investors, this kind of thing can definitely cause a chaos, and maybe even a stock market crash by the way.

Other capitalists will also die and add more chaos to the government, and even join hands to add fuel to the fire, so that the government will appear as a savior after the government is disgraced, forcing the government to admit that it is incapable of maintaining the stable development of the country, and that the country will die without the help of the capitalists - the United States is such a country, in fact, the central government's authority is pitiful, and the capitalists have a huge right to speak.

Luo Ming is a good person, but this does not mean that he is defenseless, in fact, he has a lot of defense - just like the sentence: reading Ming Li is to make himself able to speak calmly to fools, and fitness exercises to build muscle blocks to let fools speak calmly with themselves.

For Login, this is what he can do: he can promise to be kind to those who do not show hostility, but at the same time he will resolutely strengthen his strength, develop a set of plans for dealing with accidents, and show his muscles in order to make potential hostile people afraid and have to pretend to be a good person to talk to him.

The enemy who does not disguise, or shows his true face, will be killed by him immediately, and then the rest are either really good people, or they have been pretending to be good people, pretending to be people who he himself believes to be true, and the so-called lies will come true a thousand times.

For example, this Duchy of Lothar, if Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria really dares to attack him one day, he has all the means to counteract.

For example, the Parliament of the Nobles, a democratic system in Poland, was widely touted, and any policy and decree must be unanimously passed, and if one nobleman opposes it, it will be nullified.

Well, naturally, it is impossible to pass any decree that harms the interests of the nobility.

This is really one of the systems that best protects the interests of the aristocracy, which is equivalent to removing the mountain called "royal family" from the heads of the great nobles everywhere, which will surely provoke many responses - you must know that many nobles do not like the centralized power unswervingly promoted by the royal family, not to mention that the annual tax forced to be handed over to the royal family makes them feel distressed for a long time.

Luo Ming raised his arms and shouted, and the world was full of smoke, even if the royal family could suppress it, it would inevitably be greatly damaged.

It can also be replaced by the electoral system halfway through - the largest princes in the country are eligible to hold the position of grand duke, and each grand duke is elected by a council of nobles from among these great nobles, this position is not hereditary, and the elected grand duke must have other nobles and even the electors vote for him if he wants to carry out national policy.

In this way, it is also extremely weakened to the central government, and the rights and interests of the local nobles are safeguarded, and "the emperor takes turns to do it, and he comes to my house today", how can those big nobles not be tempted?

No matter which strategy it is, if it fails, it will hurt the vitality of the country, and after it succeeds, it will make the country exist in name only.

During the time when the parliament was in session, let the soldiers surround the parliament and never stop without passing the decree he wanted.

Or simply farm outside for a few years, and then coerce the army to "enter the customs" to break the scattered local nobles to obtain an electoral position, and then beat up several other princes, and then use the truce as a bargaining chip to force the princes to elect him as the grand duke.

Then he found a descendant of the goddess of spring water to be a puppet duke with no real power, and retired himself to be a "shogun".
