"Congratulations!"

Hearing this, Dakang immediately came to congratulate him, although this person seems to be loyal, but the kung fu of touting people is also passable.

Of course, Luo Ming won't be fluttering, but since someone is willing to praise him, he will still be happy.

If you have been working hard, it is inevitable that you will be a little lonely, and it is one of human instincts to be recognized, and this instinct is satisfied, and your mood will naturally be good, and your work efficiency will improve.

Relying on Aya to praise him alone, it is no different from Gu Fang's self-appreciation, and it is not a good thing for a long time.

However, after a few words of Luo Ming, Da Kang changed his words with some worry: "However, the old man only came to talk to you about this business at this time, which is obviously to put a mess in the hands of the king, he can be at ease, but the king has to bother." ”

"No way, he probably discussed with other families about changing or selling land, but he never got a satisfactory result, and finally came to me helplessly.

Although I have a little fame, what is it in the eyes of a viscount? at least the most important thing I lack—that is, the credibility that has been passed down for more than ten generations.

I've been in the Duchy for less than a year since I got the status of a nobleman, so where is my credibility?"

Luo Ming smiled and said, "Then I will seize this opportunity to establish my credibility - not only to protect my own land, but also Charlotte's land, in addition, O. Henry's land must also be well protected."

After doing these things, I will also lead the troops to the whole county, and if anyone asks for help, as long as they are willing to pay enough compensation, then I will immediately go to the rescue and resolve their danger.

At that time, if the county guard doesn't want to fight me to the death, he can only respect me for three points. ”

Da Kang also thought so: "Then I will go and prepare for the arrangement of receiving the territory, if you have time, please come and refer to it together." This is not only the harvest of a territory, but also the beginning of a future career, you must not be careful!"

"That's nature. Luo Ming smiled, "Accepting the land and sheltering one side can be regarded as a rehearsal for future changes." ”

If this territory is in his hands, Luo Ming's confidence will be a little stronger, and he will directly target the whole county.

Under the feudal system, it is said that the vassals are loyal to the feudal monarch, and the feudal monarch has various obligations to the vassals, but in practice, there are not too many cases that have changed the taste.

Loyal ministers like Charlotte naturally exist, but Luo Ming, as a traverser, deeply understands that no system can be expected to be maintained by everyone's morality.

There are far more villains than gentlemen, and even modern society, red countries, have failed to solve this problem, let alone this era.

The feudal monarch has his own territory, so it is natural to attach importance to his own territory more than to attach importance to the feudal monarch, and the feudal monarch also has his own territory, so naturally the same is the same.

Especially at this time, it is said that at a critical juncture, the vassal should rescue the vassal and the vassal should protect the vassal, but in fact, there are not many people who do it, or there are not many people who do it seriously.

The vassals are weak and only want to take care of their own one-third of an acre, where can they take care of the rescue of the feudal monarch?

And the feudal monarch's family has a big business, and it is very difficult to protect it all, in addition, they are also ready to take this opportunity to seize other people's territories, where is the extra strength to rescue their vassals?

In Luo Ming's view, it is the situation that only becomes the case after the Vanchy County has been in peace for a long time—everyone guards their own interests, and gives up the "trust relationship" that is not important in peacetime, but is worth a thousand dollars in times of war.

If this kind of relationship is not maintained in peacetime, it is fine, and generally no major events will occur, but if a war starts, it will wait for the beggar-thy-neighbor, and then it will be easily divided and disintegrated, and each will be broken.

Not to mention Vanshey, this phenomenon can occur in many parts of the country that have been at peace for a long time, and even on the entire continent.

That's why Luo Ming agreed with Aya that the mother of the mire has a lack of roots, and if it is a big chaos, it is enough to completely destroy this peace, but a small riot will just sweep away those old relationships that have become obsolete, and those who have the ability will take the position and re-establish a new relationship of trust.

Feng Jun did not come to the rescue, but Luo Ming came to the rescue - not only to pay money, land, and population, but also to ask the other party to sign a mutual insurance covenant.

Then the question arises - will the feudal lord still trust this vassal? Naturally, he will feel that he has betrayed his lord and defected to Luo Ming, and at this time, this feudal lord will definitely not remember his treachery, but will only see the shortcomings of the other party.

can't please the feudal monarch, the next time this vassal encounters something, even if he has no choice, he can only try to get closer to Luo Ming, at least within the effective period of the covenant, he can huddle together to keep warm, and even rely on his strength.

In this way, Luo Ming can be regarded as controlling half of the entire county.

If he had an opportunity, Luo Ming could directly repair a letter and hand it to Brandon, asking the princess to recognize him as a county guard and an earl, and many of these nobles who originally followed him would be directly converted into his vassals.

Then, while meddling in the domestic political situation, he expanded his colonization abroad......

The grand strategy for the future will be put aside for a while, and the current sudden extra 4,000 acres of cultivated land will be enough for Luo Ming to work for a while, and he will immediately put himself into work.

How could he not envy the idea that "governing a big country is like cooking small food"? But the premise for doing so is that it takes more than 10 years or even several decades of preparation to do so.

We should train enough candidates for officials who are both loyal and have a certain level of education, establish a system that can run smoothly and will not cause problems casually, and establish their own authority throughout the country...... After that, the ruler of the country can be governed, because most of the chores have been handled by the courtiers, and only a few major policies need to be personally attended by the ruler.

It's easy to let your courtiers do the work for you, as long as you recruit enough courtiers, but what these courtiers will do with the chores is a question - it takes a period of time for the ruler to guide them, set many precedents and norms, and the people below can do it.

If they do not set a precedent, then these courtiers will naturally mess around and make a whole lot of strange state policies; if they set a bad precedent, they will certainly be "carried forward" tenfold and hundredfold.

For example, the rulers of the Song Dynasty guarded against military generals, then it would become an example for thousands of officials to follow, and the seven-rank civil officials dared to scold the three-rank generals, so every time the civil officials saw the military funds, they always thought about deducting or defaulting, and every time something happened, they pushed the pot to the soldiers, so that within ten years, the army would not be able to fight a tough battle, and after another ten years, I was afraid that it would completely form a good man who was not a soldier, and then the difficulty of reversing this trend was almost no less than the difficulty of seeking a dynasty to usurp the throne or the revival of Han Guangwu.

Luo Ming can't ask for these things now, and he doesn't even have many courtiers who can be trusted, and many things can only be done in person—even if it's a "small thing" of a few thousand acres of land.

For him, who has the world in mind, even tens of thousands of acres is really a trivial matter.
