Chapter 15 Implementation of Policies
The Emerald Palace in the middle of the night is still brightly lit. There are many ways for kings to live, and Caesar III chose the most exhausting one.
Since the beginning of the throne, he has turned the tide, and now he has solved the threat of orcs and fulfilled the long-cherished wish of his ancestors for hundreds of years. However, new challenges arise, as if things are never done.
has been moving forward under pressure, in exchange for the revival of the royal family and the stability of the kingdom.
"Little Caesar, given the current international situation, the kingdom needs to deepen its alliance with the Duchy of Moxi.
It just so happens that you are old enough to get married, and I want you to marry Princess Anne of the Duchy of Moxi. You've seen people in person, how do you feel? ”
Questioning, obviously a little redundant. From the smile on his face, you can see what Crown Prince Caesar thinks.
When he was in the Duchy of Moxi, he was obsessed with Princess Anne. If it weren't for the big defeat on the battlefield, he would have proposed a marriage long ago.
The defeat on the battlefield made him lose his right to speak. Including the choice of personal marriage, they were all buried in a big defeat.
I had put it down, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when the peaks and loops would turn.
"No problem! As the Prince of the Kingdom, I have an obligation to contribute to the cause of the Kingdom! ”
Crown Prince Caesar said happily.
Political marriage, being able to marry someone you like, but you have hit a lot of luck.
If it weren't for the changes in the international situation, the two "rotten brothers" of the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxie needed to huddle together to keep warm, and this marriage would not have been possible at all.
"Don't be happy too early, things haven't been settled yet, and there may be twists and turns in the middle."
Caesar III said with a headache.
In the last defeat, Crown Prince Caesar buried not only tens of thousands of troops of the Alpha Kingdom, but also hundreds of thousands of Mossi troops.
Even now, Crown Prince Caesar's prestige in the Duchy of Moxy is negative. It's not the Moxie royal family at all, the ideal marriage partner.
In fact, Caesar III also considered choosing a marriage partner from among the great nobles in the country to help his son stabilize his position.
How to marry this kind of thing, not only depends on the right family, but also depends on luck.
The few big kingdom families that can be looked at by him happen to have no women of school age now. Either they're married, or they're too young.
The closest one is only seven years old now, and what's even worse is that they are engaged. Even if Crown Prince Caesar wanted to wait, he didn't have a chance.
The conditions were relaxed to all the great nobles, and the most suitable was the late Duke of Pias, who had a fourteen-year-old concubine who was not engaged.
There is no doubt that such a marriage is impossible to pass. It was not easy to suppress the arrogance of the nobles of the Northlands, how could Caesar III release them?
Hearing the twists and turns, Crown Prince Caesar's face instantly fell. It is self-evident what the twists and turns are, they are all made by themselves, and they can't get rid of the pot if they want to.
After the vignette, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. The Prime Minister on the side, the Archduke of Newfoundland, took the opportunity to change the topic and said, "Your Majesty, the Warcraft Legion plan has been officially launched.
So far, more than two-thirds of the countries in the Northern Continent have joined the program. There is a high probability that the remaining countries will also choose to join.
After much discussion, there are currently two options to choose from:
First, all parties will jointly provide human, financial and material resources to promote the implementation of the plan. When the Warcraft is cultivated to almost adulthood, it will be distributed according to their respective contributions.
Second, the early investment is borne by everyone, and after the baby beast is born, everyone directly distributes the baby animal according to the previous investment ratio. The subsequent cultivation of Warcraft is carried out independently.
Perhaps out of some concern, most countries prefer the second option, preferring to raise their young animals to adulthood themselves. ”
There is no doubt that everyone is worried about it.
Originally, the Alpha Kingdom was the most powerful kingdom in the Northern Continent, and the Warcraft breeding base was placed here, in case of conflicts in the future, it was entirely possible to detain everyone's Warcraft.
It's useless to sign a contract, no matter how strong the constraint is, it is time-sensitive. No matter how many promises are made, once they are no longer in office, they may be overturned by those who come after them at any time.
Trust problem, there is no way to solve it. It's obviously impossible to work closely together.
"Well, they want to take the young beasts directly, and we can't stop them, so let them go.
However, in the research and development of pharmaceuticals, it is still necessary to pull everyone together. Otherwise, if the kingdom forces want to catch up with the top level of the continent, they don't know when they will have to wait.
Countries in the North Continent share similar problems, and that's the basis of our cooperation.
Send people to communicate with representatives of all parties, and the Warcraft cubs can be distributed directly after they are born, but a part of them must be left for experiments. Each country will send people together to jointly develop potions that promote the growth of Warcraft. ”
Caesar III said with a sigh.
Working together is the best option, and the problem of trust cannot be solved.
There must be shadows of other forces behind this, otherwise even if it was a fuss, it would not be so fast. At the very least, these problems will not break out until a large number of Warcraft cubs are born.
If you can't achieve the most ideal state, then retreat to the next best thing and get the potion that promotes the growth and development of the demonic beast first.
To be precise, it is based on the original agent, and certain improvements are made.
In fact, almost all the major forces in the mainland have the potions that promote the growth of demonic beasts. It's just that these drugs either have too many side effects; Either that, or the cost is too high.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid things are not so simple. The environment in which everyone lives is different, and the female animal selected may not be the same.
According to the research of various countries in the south, although the potions that promote the growth of Warcraft are effective against most Warcraft, the effects on different Warcraft are also different.
Even if it is joint research and development, I am afraid that everyone will be more inclined to configure exclusive potions for their own wurm monsters.
The one who can really cooperate is to choose the same forces as the mother beast race. And there are also great reservations about this cooperation.
The greater significance of bringing everyone together for joint research and development is probably to be able to communicate in a timely manner, rather than research and development. ”
The Minister of War, Grand Duke Efiero, said depressedly.
The plan was put forward by the Ministry of Military Affairs, but as the progress progressed, he was embarrassed to find that there were more and more troubles.
"I don't want to hear these pointless complaints. You all know what the kingdom's finances are like.
Now we have to rely on a limited budget to complete the Warcraft Legion project. If you can reduce the cost, then reduce the cost as much as possible, so it is imperative to cooperate.
Problems that may arise in the process of joint operation, then find a way to coordinate and solve. We are worried, and those small countries will only be more worried.
Little Caesar, you go along and help. This plan: only succeed, not fail! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a cough. From the blood stains that came out of the handkerchief, it was clear that Caesar III was already in very bad health.
should have been under the guardianship of the crown prince and recuperated with peace of mind, but he was not at ease with little Caesar!
Theoretically speaking, such an important project that is easy to produce results should be presided over by the crown prince to make political achievements.
But the bottom of his heart made Caesar III finally decide to let his son follow and study.
……
Mountain collar.
With the end of the lord's wedding, the "three-year development plan" of the territory was also put on the agenda, and various projects were carried out in an orderly manner.
The most heated discussion is still the incentive for childbirth. The vital interests of all people are involved, and the number of times it is brought out for discussion is naturally the largest.
Strict orders have been issued one after another, and the leaders who are responsible for the specific implementation of the armor are indeed worried.
"Lord Kane, this is to focus on childbirth and childbirth, we are really too busy!"
Sova said with a depressed face.
As one of the chiefs of the territory, Sova is also a special existence. In the past three years, Bao led by him has won the first place in the reclamation for three consecutive years.
It stands to reason that in the mountain commanders, who are seriously lacking in excellent managers, such outstanding security chiefs should have been promoted a long time ago.
How can Nesova be a big illiterate one, and it is okay to manage one to protect one, and then he will be blind.
It's useless to send it to a literacy class for training, as if it is insulated from cultural knowledge, and after tossing the results of a month, I learned my own name.
was promoted twice, but after less than ten days, he took the initiative to resign and come back and continue to be the chief of the small security.
There is more than one similar grassroots official, and because of their lack of education, their personal ceiling is so low.
In any case, the top students who are commended every year are still very popular with the leaders in charge of the reclamation project. If there were more grassroots officials who were down-to-earth and willing to work hard, the results at the end of the year would be better.
"Chief Sova, you have to implement it if you are too busy! The lord personally issued a strict order, and the population must be increased.
In recent years, we have opened up a lot of land, and we will continue to open up land in the future. With so much good land, it can't just be so barren, right?
As for the problem of encouraging childbirth and affecting production, it is actually still controllable. Even if you are pregnant, it will not affect the work of young people!
What's more, women's pregnancies are also one after another. In addition to the maternity leave, there are other times when the pregnant woman is unable to do heavy work and is able to do simple tasks.
Anyway, all the armor guards must implement the policy of encouraging childbirth, and it is not only you who will be affected, and it will not affect the final evaluation. ”
Kane patiently explained.
The order of the lord lord, here it is the holy decree. In the minds of grassroots officials, Hudson's status is still unparalleled.
Everyone came to follow him halfway, compared to the previous hungry days, although there is a lot of work in the mountains, but they can eat enough!
Especially after becoming an official, even if it is the lowest-level existence, the days have changed dramatically from before.
"That's okay, since the lord personally ordered it, then I will carry it out according to the regulations!"
Sova replied stiffly.
It's just the sorrow in my heart, but I still can't get rid of it. The reward for encouraging childbirth this time was meat, and he knew very well the allure of this thing to the people.
In normal times, you can't eat meat twice a month, but now you can get it by having a baby. And the more you are born, the more you are rewarded.
Don't say that it is other people, even he, who is the chief of security, is a little tempted, considering whether to have two more.
After all, only seven cubs were born in his family, and only four survived, which was still far from the lord's goal of giving birth to ten.
Once everyone works hard to create people, the progress of land reclamation will inevitably be affected. Unable to think of a solution, Sova simply made a nerve-wracking fuss.
Anyway, the order was given by the lord, and it was right to carry it out according to the regulations. If it slightly affects the progress of land reclamation, it is estimated that the problem will not be too big.
After reassuring the good staff and glancing at everyone, Kane continued to ask, "Do the others still have questions?" ”
It's not a show, it's a real problem. In the face of the goal of 60,000 new babies and toddlers within three years proposed by the lord, if you don't work hard, you can't achieve it at all.
What's even more troublesome is not only to give birth, but also to increase the survival rate of the baby. Efforts will be made to keep the infant mortality rate below 25 per cent after three years.
Of course, this data only counts healthy babies. If there is a congenital problem, there is no way, and there is no solution with the existing medical technology.
In fact, it is not only the infant mortality rate that is high, but also the infant mortality rate.
The probability of a baby from birth to adulthood is not more than half. Any illness or accident can take a human life.
Even if it is a noble house, this probability is not too high. Many families have lost their heirs, not because they did not have children, but because the children born did not grow up.
It is precisely because of the low survival rate that it is necessary to have more children. Only by giving birth to enough can there be an heir.
"Lord Kane, is it true that you just said that after the child is born, you will be able to receive the blessing of the priest?"
Hearing the old man's question, Kane almost choked. Is this the focus of attention?
Babies and toddlers are born and blessed by priests, a tradition in the continent of Aslanth. However, with the fall of the Holy See, this tradition has been abandoned in aristocratic circles for many years
For no other reason, the cumbersome process of baptism and blessing may lead to the death of the baby.
Especially in the cold winter wax moon, the probability of accidents is higher when you are baptized naked.
According to the Holy See, this is possessed by demons, belonging to an ominous person, and cannot afford the blessings of the gods.
This kind of nonsense will also get the people at the bottom. The great aristocracy, who knew the essence of the Holy See, did not take this as a thing at all.
Especially for some families with difficult heirs, it is not easy for people to obtain a descendant, and if they go to participate in the baptism of risk, it will not be a brain disease.
This ancient tradition was quickly broken. In anti-papal countries such as the Alpha Kingdom, the baptism rite was even explicitly modified.
Asking the priest to come over and go through the motions, even if the ritual is completed, is already the practice of devout believers.
"Of course it's true, when the child reaches the age of seven, the territory will organize a priest to give a collective blessing."
Kane immediately remedied.
Originally, the infant mortality rate was high, and when he went to toss the newborn baby, he estimated that the lord would entertain him with a whip.
After the age of seven, the cubs with poor physical fitness are all eliminated by the laws of nature. When the time comes to symbolically come to the ceremony, then it is not a big problem.
"That's it, I'll definitely let my son have a few more when I go back! The great Lord of the Dawn is above, and this time he is finally going to take care of my family......"
The old man said with a red face, the whole person's mental state has improved a lot, and the piety between his eyebrows made Kane frown.
Glancing at the scene, he helplessly found that many grassroots officials were all excited at the moment.
