"For small tribes, you can give them a little support and let them challenge the voice of the big tribes.

As for the big tribes, they are friendly on the surface, but in fact, they are specially designed to show the advanced and prosperous side of the principality to individual elites, so that they do not want to be bound by the small place of the tribe......"

Savoring Luo Ming's words, Elo sighed: "Even if you haven't been to my family's territory, the ideas you come up with coincide with those of the family's advisors, I'm really convinced this time." ”

At the same time, Hendrik took a sip of his wine and said, "Actually, there is a better way, that is, let the people over there multiply, and then distribute basic weapons to the surplus population.

You lead a large army to defeat the main force of the tribe, and at the same time issue an order: you will receive a reward for each person who captures or kills a tribe people, including children and women. And if they can turn the grazing land of the tribe into arable land, as long as they can keep it, the arable land will be taxed for only a quarter for three years. ”

"Regardless of whether it can be implemented or not, whether the effect is good or bad...... Don't you think this is a bit too vicious? Luo Ming asked casually.

"We are advanced civilized people, and the kind of tribal barbarians can only choose between obediently accepting indoctrination and domination and humbly surviving, or refusing to accept it, and going to die recklessly. ”

As he spoke, Hendrik also patted Luo Ming's shoulder: "No matter how ignorant those people in the territory are, they are also the people of civilized countries, and letting them replace the tribesmen who are more ignorant than them means that there is less of a fool's pasture in this world, and there is more arable land that can support and nurture civilized people." ”

"Okay, okay, some big tribes, even the Grand Duke have to give gifts to appease them. Even if they are ignorant, we can't just shout 'civility' to bring them down.

Whether civilized or barbaric, it is a kind of victory that can be transformed into combat effectiveness - which do you say is stronger between a group of barbarians who are all soldiers and a group of scribes who are helpless?"

Luo Ming poured down a glass of wine and said unceremoniously: "If civilized people want to be proud, they must be more elite in training than them, better in armor than their quality, tactical, command, officer, logistics, medical...... Comprehensively outperforming the other party in these aspects is called reflecting its own advantages, and it is natural to be able to form a situation of comprehensive crushing. ”

"Well said!"

The three of them toasted together and burst out laughing.

Here, in a tavern in the Uptown, Hendrik, Lomin, and Elou Bagrat, who did not know Lomin, all came here.

Drinking beer, making a lot of noise, chatting about all sorts of things, from territorial and national affairs to complaints about accommodation, all about it except for the invariably avoiding privacy issues.

At first, it was Hendrik, a mage who usually seemed to be polite, who made this invitation, which really surprised Luo Ming.

But soon, the emotions of all three of them were high, especially Hendrik, who was as skilled at pouring beer as Elou.

Luo Ming asked him, "Why are you so skilled?", and only got the answer "I often bring friends I identify with to drink here".

Hendrik was a mage, but he was a calm and wise man, and it was impossible for him to visit this place often just for fun...... Presumably to make friends with other people.

Indeed, young people eat and drink together, curse together, make noise, and praise each other...... It is often more able to bring people closer together than the polite rhetoric in the social arena.

Let Luo Ming make an analogy, the friends who eat spicy skewers together in the night market are often the most reliable, and even the kind of people who can stick a knife in both ribs and be righteous and thin, this kind of friendship is second only to being born and dying together.

And the topics provoked by Hendrick are basically about ideals, about the government affairs of the territory, about the military, about making money...... And Eylau was in high spirits.

It seems that both of them are the kind of people with great ambitions.

At this moment, Luo Ming thought a little nonsensically: In the future history books, will the drunkenness of the three of them be recorded this time?

If it is really famous, what kind of language will it be used to describe it?

Is it the precursor of the three careerists forming the axis of evil, or the three talented teenagers who are like-minded to lay the foundation for a brilliant career ahead?

Was it the friendship between the three great men that laid the groundwork for the rupture from the beginning? Or was it the meeting of one king and two ministers?

No, no, no...... Luo Ming shook his head. It's not okay to continue thinking like this, it's a sign of drunkenness.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Did you order anything else?"

"No?"

The group looked at each other for a moment, and then Elo took the initiative to run over and open the door.

Appearing there was an old messenger - Lomin had also seen him.

And the messenger himself was a little surprised to see the three of them.

"I didn't expect the three gentlemen to be here, so please accept these letters. ”

He put down the three letters, then took his leave.

"This guy is really dedicated, and he actually sent the letter directly to this tavern?!" Hendrik muttered, "I want such a loyal and reliable retinue too!"

"Is it another letter from Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Luo Ming yawned, and at this moment, he saw Elo hurriedly pounce on him, find his own letter, and open it directly with his bare hands.

By the way, I almost forgot, this guy is an avid fan of Princess Victoria...... That female fox really has a hand.

Lockin handed another letter to Hendrick, who was far from the door, and all that was left in his own hand was the letter that read "Received by Mr. Lockin the Knight".

However, he didn't even have to look at the letter to guess at least half of its contents.

Archduchess Victoria I was too old to last long, and Charlotte had said that Princess Victoria herself had begun to deal with some government affairs, just like the "Crown Prince Prison of the Kingdom".

Then, naturally, she must have a group of supporters of her own. It's not enough to rely on those few girlfriends, more young people must be able to do it - and the older generation will not say that it is difficult for her young heir, at least there will be some contempt, and there will be those who rely on the old and sell the old.

This is an opportunity for political speculation, and many people are waiting for this opportunity to show their loyalty, but at the same time, it is also an examination.

In practice, the position, competence and loyalty of all are assessed.
