The so-called important weapon of the country or something, Sui Xiong didn't care about this reputation, but he was very much in favor of the opinion of the god of runes. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The foundation of a country is nothing more than military and civilian, to put it more bluntly, money and knives.

The question of money is another matter, the sword is the military construction of the country. And the army needs people, but also weapons, and armor.

Where did the weapons and armor come from? Most of the lords obtained them through procurement. If the conditions are slightly better, buy steel and build your own weapons and armor. Only the most powerful ones can start from the raw materials and produce them in one stop.

Armament comes from purchase, not to mention how much it costs, even if there is enough money, it may not be possible to buy enough armament for a while. Even if you buy it, quality is always an issue. Even if the quality is fine, the armament will be worn out in use, and it will always be very troublesome to repair and replenish.

Therefore, only the forces that can produce their own armed forces are qualified to talk about things like "competing for the world and winning the Central Plains". In this world, the same is true.

For example, the Gold Federation was not a single country, but a fief of all sizes established by dozens of merchants and nobles. They attacked each other, fought endlessly, and fought back and forth for hundreds of years.

In the midst of these hundreds of years of war, the major forces that eventually rose up all had their own smelting and forging workshops, and had the ability to produce weapons stably.

It is really by relying on this kind of productivity that they are able to defeat the old opponents who have been competing with them for hundreds of years one by one, just like a herd of beasts competing for the leader, and in the end only a few of the strongest are left.

However, under the mediation of Manis, the goddess of wealth, these most powerful forces did not decide the winner through the final showdown, but compromised with each other and formed a federation.

Of course, it was because they didn't have confidence in each other that they could defeat the others, and it was Mannes's strategy to have the last laugh.

The relationship between royal power and divine power is not only mutual cooperation, but also great contradictions. In countries where royal power is consolidated, divine power is often weakened. In theocratic countries, the situation is reversed.

The nobles wanted the people to obey them honestly, and they didn't want a person who was on the side of the people and limited their power many times. Even if you don't consider the actual interests, the mere verbose will make the lords who are used to telling the truth irritable.

The church wants the people to be devotion to God, and the lord should encourage this piety and promote the building of the church. A reckless lord will obviously hinder the stable life of the people. Without a stable life, how can we start building a church?

Not to mention, people have faith, they have churches, and they have organizations. If the people are organized, will they easily submit to the rule of the lord and be honestly exploited and oppressed?

Therefore, in the long history, the struggle between royal power and divine power can be said to be consistent, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, and it is rare for each other to really coexist peacefully.

The biggest exception in these years has been the Northwest Republic. In the Northwest Republic, nobility is only an honor rather than actual right to rule, and the political activities of the Void Mask Church are strictly limited to the perspective of "supervision" and "justice", and Sui Xiong never allows them to cross the thunder pool for half a step.

For example, in every town, the Masquerade Void Church has a special job of accepting the opinions and suggestions of the people to the government. These opinions and suggestions will be reviewed before God, and if they are confirmed, they will be summarized and passed on to the government for processing. If the local government can't handle it, or if the result is very dissatisfying to the people, it will report to the church at the next level, and eventually it can even go directly to Sui Xiong's altar.

Of course, over the years, there has never been a time when things have been so big. One is that under supervision, most of the officials are more careful and honest in doing things, and the other is that the Northwest Republic is currently on the rise, and everyone is living a good life, and there is not so much resentment.

So in the Northwest Republic, the theocracy and the kingship, if there really are both, do coexist peacefully, and even complement each other.

In addition, even in the relatively good situation of the Mystic Tower Federation, the conflict between divine power and royal power is extremely serious, and all kinds of open and secret battles emerge one after another, and even means such as assassination are frequently used.

The struggle between theocracy and royal power naturally dragged down the development of the country. It's like a factory, where the leaders are divided into several factions, stumbling on each other all day long, and the workers are not well fed and clothed, and they make trouble from time to time...... If you can develop well, then there are really ghosts!

The Northwest Republic is like the factory in front of them, stable, strong, and orderly, and everyone has good treatment, and they are all working hard for a better tomorrow, filled with a positive atmosphere.

The God of Runes smiled calmly, and did not explain to Sui Xiong in detail the meaning of the evaluation of "the heavy weapon of the country".

In fact, in his opinion, this factory, which can quickly produce a large number of weapons and armor, and can quickly expand in scale, is not really a national weapon. The lively atmosphere that pervades this factory, the joy, confidence, and positive attitude seen in the faces and hearts of the researchers and craftsmen, is the reason for his real exclamation.

(It's been so many years, I haven't seen such a good view!)

The white-bearded dwarven god smiled, but sighed in his heart.

Ever since the Dwarves were defeated in the Great War and had to retreat from the Eastern Plains, the most fertile part of the main plane, into the Broken Cloud Mountains, the atmosphere among this race has not been so positive.

It was then that the habit of drinking became popular among the dwarves. Many of the older dwarves were not so much fond of the taste of wine as they were numbing themselves with alcohol, so that they could not think of the years of defeat and flight, of their former homeland, and of sighing.

The god of runes is also the old dwarf of that generation, and even though he has become an immortal god, many of the past are still clearly engraved in his heart.

Not only him, but the dwarven gods are all wondering what the future of the dwarven race is, and what will it take to make their race shine again?

Inside this great factory in the Northwest Republic, the god of runes saw hope.

The biggest problem of dwarves is the lack of population, people are the most important productive force, and if the population is insufficient, the productivity is insufficient. But in this factory, the number of workers is significantly smaller than in a normal factory. According to His calculations, if the dwarves were to build a factory of the same size, it would take at least three times as many people!

The ability to save manpower in production means that the same number of people can produce greater productivity.

Perhaps, this is the direction that the dwarven gods have been looking for! )
