"Roy, I want to see the emperor, you can meet him often, can you help me think of a way?"

The girl showed a strange expression: "You are stupid...... Isn't it more convenient for you to find your father at home, so why bother to go far?"

"No, I don't want to beg him, and it's hard to communicate with him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The girl had already learned about what happened yesterday from the "little spy" who was placed next to her younger brother, and shook her head helplessly: "It's okay, I mentioned this matter to my father at dinner, you don't have to talk, just watch." ”

"Hmm...... All right. ”

The news of Duke Foster's return to the imperial capital shattered the previous rumors that he had "made the emperor feel jealous of his self-respecting army" at the front, and his conclusive accusations of misappropriation of state property were also dismissed by the imperial ruler himself as "special defense expenditures". The Duke of Upper Winway once again showed the world that he was the undisputed No. 1 nobility of Midland, and that his position in the Emperor's heart was unshakeable - he was unscathed in the mutiny and its aftermath, but countless conservative aristocrats and military personnel who jumped out to bring down the wall were thrown to the end and even imprisoned......

By the time the war was over, the real power of the empire had been almost entirely filled with outright reformers, and the important positions in the military department and the generals leading the troops had almost all been replaced by people close to the emperor or former Duke Foster...... It is extremely rare in the millennial history of mankind that a political dispute between different factions can develop into a defeat for the first side, and Fachen Gauder Foster, who was at the center of all this vortex, did not even take it to heart.

He was eating dinner, experiencing the thrill of being able to enjoy the food slowly after a long time.

"Father, what are you going to do with those arrested for participating in the mutiny?" Roy asked as he filled his stomach and put down his utensils and pretended to be casual.

"Hmm...... masterminded the death penalty, and sent the prisoners to the frontier of the no-man's land, and gave Lao Tzu to encircle and suppress the demons. After the man finished dealing with a crab, he wiped his hands and said: "You dare to send someone to rush to my house, and if I want my temper to be worse, I will definitely uproot them and their family and destroy them cleanly, leaving no trace of aftermath before relieving the hatred." But it can't be that far. Behind the hundreds of prisoners involved in this case stood most of the middle and upper class families of the empire, who had married each other for the past few hundred years...... The relationship between them is quite complicated, and it is by no means a 'reformer' and a 'conservative' to distinguish between them. If we decide to do it, I'm afraid that all the nobles in this city except for our family, including Emperor Kyle himself, will have to die. But if you don't hang only those who are caught, you will offend too many people...... I'm naturally not afraid of retaliation, but you can't, even if it's so strong, you can't do whatever you want after all...... Any suggestions?"

"No, it's a good result. "But there's one thing...... A while ago, Rhodes disappeared, I took someone to look for him, and along the way I saw the scene of Anteli being devastated by the war, it was really a little terrifying, father, you were busy with other things and didn't know the planning and implementation of this war, but now that you know, don't you plan to do something. You protect this world, and logically speaking, you don't want to see war, right? ”

"Good question, something...... It doesn't hurt to make it clear to you as soon as possible, so that you don't have any misunderstandings in the future. The man also put down the utensils and became serious: "Your mother and I are guarding this world, naturally hoping that the overall strength of this world itself will be as strong as possible, how can we do it? Build a strong and unified empire, stabilize the world situation, reduce the frequency of wars to avoid unnecessary loss and waste of population and resources, control the spread of false or negative religious beliefs, carry out educational reforms, encourage scientific research and promote the development of science and technology, ......"

The Duke paused, looked at the silver civet shrunk on Rod's knees, and found that the little guy listened quite seriously: "The above things can be summarized in a few sentences on a macro level, but in terms of specific actions, the details that should be paid attention to can definitely write a few books." As a Guardian, I can't afford to do everything myself and waste a lot of time and energy building this world. What I should do is to give the right direction, and then watch the world move forward on its own, and intervene when something is messing with or running in a crooked direction, so as to avoid the destruction of the world before it develops, can you understand? ”

"I see, this is really a big game of chess, no wonder I have always felt that the policymakers of the empire are quite clever and far-sighted, it turns out to be you, father!"

"It's not that exaggerated, there are smart people in the world, and with a little hint from me, someone will naturally understand what I mean and make specific policies. However, the system and development direction are right, but the development speed is too slow, the world is too backward compared to the one I came from, and it needs a little external stimulation to activate the momentum of its development. The man was comfortably patted by his daughter's sycophant, and he also played a trick, deliberately asking: "Guess what, what is the best will to promote social development?"

Roy frowned and asked tentatively, "War?"

"That's right, but more precisely, competition. Faqin nodded: "The world from which your mother and I came has just experienced two world-level wars, both of which were accompanied by technological revolutions, which greatly damaged the vitality of the entire world, but also brought about explosive social development. In the face of the threat of World War III, the major powers are desperately trying to strengthen their own strength, developing themselves in the form of an arms race, including but not limited to. ”

"My ultimate goal is to build Midland into a powerful nation to rival Eriken, and to create a bipolar world in which the two powers can live together and compete with each other in a peaceful but discordant way...... Once this pattern is formed, there is no need for me to urge it anymore, and the world will spontaneously develop rapidly and become stronger and stronger. ”

Rhodes sat silently for a long time, and finally couldn't help but interject: "But what about the destruction caused by the war and the consumption and waste of resources, don't you consider it at all?"

"Well, the contradiction between the effect of competition on social development and the damage caused by war is indeed difficult to reconcile...... Therefore, I will never allow a real war between the two empires, and at the same time I will instruct the enactment of laws that prohibit barbaric acts of war, such as massacres and wanton destruction, in order to ensure that the negative damage caused by war does not exceed its positive effect on the development of society. This time, Carlyle's old fellow ordered the slaughter of the village, which blatantly violated the core purpose of my plan, so I ordered him to be suspended. The man sighed helplessly: "Who knew that this matter had something to do with my son, after the old guy returned to Wenwei, he didn't reflect well, but ran to my house to make trouble, and he didn't know how to write dead words." ”
