There are problems that are not terrible, and any big force that inherits the ancient world has its own shortcomings.

At present, it is nothing more than the influence of the general environment, and the contradictions have a tendency to erupt in a concentrated manner.

In order to tide over the difficulties, the major forces have their own plans.

Some forces choose to carry out internal reforms, some choose to suppress them by force, and some forces choose to transfer contradictions externally.

Against this backdrop, the fragmented Terrans have shown their unique superiority.

Relying on internal competition, even if many Terran countries are in decline, there are also many Terran countries that are at their peak.

Maybe such a human race will never be the strongest state, but it will not sink directly. Most of the time, it is possible to maintain force above and below the average.

On the contrary, it is the unification of the major alien races, and after the accumulation of disadvantages broke out, it seemed a little hurried.

or reborn from the ashes and reshape your own glory again; Either continue to sink and decline until it disappears on the mainland.

"Eldest sister, second sister, it's not a way to drag it like this all the time.

Those young guys are very energetic. If you suppress it for a long time, problems will occur sooner or later.

I think that instead of suppressing them to resent, it is better to directly divide a piece of land for them and let them build a new home by themselves! ”

The Night Elf Queen eagerly proposed.

Obviously, the three elven queens also have different positions on the issue of dealing with reformers.

If it weren't for the fact that the conservative forces were too strong, it was estimated that the Night Elf Queen would be pushing for reforms, and the current proposal was actually a compromise.

Anyway, there are not many elves in the race, but there is a lot of land.

The newly occupied land, which now has no population, has become a paradise for beasts, and perhaps will become a paradise for monsters in the future.

After hesitating for a moment, the forest elf queen said with a little hesitation: "It is not impossible to divide a piece of land and let them go out to govern.

It's just that these little guys lack governance experience. One by one, they are high-eyed and low-handed, and when they gather together, I am afraid that there will be a new mess! ”

This kind of worry, if left in other races, is definitely a happy trouble.

Having enough resources to appease the major interest groups is definitely the best state.

As for the lack of governance experience, it cannot be considered a problem at all.

"It's better to make a new mess than to be so pressed now. If it drags on for a long time, we will all become diehards that the reformers will overthrow! ”

The Prairie Elf Queen said angrily.

It is very difficult to hinder the spread of new ideas without being able to kill the killer.

Forcibly suppressing the contradiction can only alleviate the problem for a while. Mediating internal disputes every once in a while will annoy anyone.

"Since you all agree, let's do it!

However, the divided territory, try not to border the Terrans, so as not to cause a race war that will not end well! ”

The Forest Elf Queen said with a solemn expression.

It is easy to delegate power, but it is difficult to collect power.

Referring to the three elven kingdoms, it was only a response plan to reduce the vigilance of the human race, but now it has almost become three sets of teams.

If it weren't for the pressure of the human race, the elven race would have really split.

Now that this is happening again, it is not known how far the situation will develop in the future.

Knowing that the symptoms are not cured, due to the current situation, we can only do this first.

……

Falcon Kingdom.

After the Terran nations took aim at the Holy See, this ancient island nation ushered in a respite. Without the intervention of the great powers, the major factions in the civil war quickly came to the negotiating table.

It sounds like child's play, but it's very "aristocratic".

In the aristocratic world, everyone will not fight to the end unless it is absolutely necessary.

In addition to the nobles involved in the murder of the monarch, who cannot be forgiven, other issues can be discussed.

Of course, these are all appearances.

It seems to be a game between the old nobles and the emerging nobles, but in fact it is a game between the main and branch veins of the old nobles.

The bloodlines of the aristocratic group are intricate, and most of the emerging business aristocracy are also branches of the old aristocracy.

In the process of their rise, some nobles even received the secret support of their families.

It's just that out of the idea of diversifying risks without putting eggs in one basket, everyone deliberately conceals this relationship.

It turned out to be a very successful operation.

Whether it is the grassroots aristocracy who is working hard, or the unlucky king who has died, they are all played with in the palm of their hands.

There is no doubt that success belongs to only a few.

After experiencing the survival of the fittest in the civil war, not only the new aristocracy suffered heavy losses, but also the old nobles who fell behind.

The worst thing is the royal family, obviously its own strength is not weak, but because of the extinction of the lineage, it fell into internal fragmentation and lost a lot of interests.

The Purple Flower Dynasty, which has been inherited for thousands of years, has reached the moment of its death.

Fortunately, the Camerenburg family, the Mellon family, and the Schneider family, as the victors, were similar in strength, and the three families contained each other, and no one could help anyone, so the tragedy of changing the dynasty was avoided.

After a series of bargaining and insider trading, Princess Marisol, who married away and escaped, was put on the throne by the three major families.

After hundreds of years, another queen of the Terran world was born.

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Hudson fell into deep thought. I thought that the Purple Gold Flower Dynasty was going to be cold, but I didn't expect it to resurrect in the end.

Frankly speaking, Princess Marisol, who ascended to the throne, is not a royal heir.

Tracing back by blood, Princess Marisol was the daughter of Henry V's cousin, separated by several generations. Under normal circumstances, there is no inheritance at all.

According to the information on the surface, her ability to ascend to the throne was completely due to the compromise of the three major families.

As a superior person, Hudson would not see it that way. Simply supporting puppets, the Purple Flower Dynasty still has many side royal families.

Some of the members of it are even closer in blood than Princess Marisol.

A mere change of power is not worth mentioning, the point is that Marisol issued the "Reform Charter" immediately after she came to power.

Reform is nothing new. The civil war has detonated, and the weight of the falconry kingdom can be imagined.

Hudson didn't bother to look at routine clauses such as cutting redundant personnel and improving the efficiency of governance.

What really caught his attention was:

Article 7: Encourage the development of industrial and commercial ......

Article 13: Encourage the development of maritime trade......

Article 18: Abolition of Internal Tariffs......

Although the specific content is very immature, many details are not mentioned, which is also quite explosive.

As a maritime trading power, the Falcon Kingdom is more avant-garde in its ideology and more accepting of industry and commerce, which Hudson can understand.

However, the nature of direct legal encouragement is still different.

Even if most of the dividends of this wave of reform are eaten up by the three major families, the residue that leaks out can still cultivate a new interest group.

Of course, this reform was still incomplete and did not really break the feudal serfdom system.

However, with the start of industry and commerce, the old aristocracy will eventually realize that the traditional serf economy is too slow to make money.

The profits from the exploitation of serfs are not at all comparable to those of the harvesting of freemen. At that point, the emancipation of serfs was a logical step.

Of course, the process can be tortuous. Aristocrats who are slow to respond and do not keep up with the pace of the times are likely to become "diehards" who hinder progress.

However, there is also a benefit to the otherworld. The family has been passed down for seven or eight generations, and the ancestors above may still be alive.

For these old antiques who have the right to speak, they are their descendants anyway, and they can accept it no matter which vein is prosperous.

When the conflict is overwhelming, they can intervene to mediate the dispute. The sudden subsidence of the civil war in the Falcon Kingdom is the result of the interference of these old guys.

Thinking of the dividends of being the first to reform, Hudson once wanted to follow suit, but in the end reason prevailed.

Eat as much as you have a belly. Eat the next few decades in advance, and you will choke to death.

The Falcon Kingdom can play like this, because their plate is not small, and they can support a small economic cycle inside.

Such a foundation, the mountain collar and the snow moon collar, obviously do not have.

If you don't have a basic market with a population of tens of millions, you will run to play industry and commerce, or it will be supported by production capacity in less than a year, and then all industries will wither.

……

"Falcon Kingdom's reform measures, what provisions do you think we can learn from?"

Hudson summoned his squad and asked.

Reform is never a one-time leap. In order not to take advanced measures to harm others and themselves, it is necessary to seek the opinions of indigenous management.

If you can't convince even your own people, even if you forcibly push forward the reform, there is a high probability that it will not be implemented in the end.

Rules are essentially for people, and rules that everyone resists, no matter how good the starting point, can only prove that the rules are unreasonable.

"Duke, the way in which the realm and the country operate are not the same.

The reform measures taken by the Falcon Kingdom are mainly based on their own actual conditions.

After the civil war, the three major families of the Falcon Kingdom controlled the power of the kingdom, and as long as the three families took a unified position, the reform could be promoted.

And they are also an island nation that hangs off the coast, and as long as the navy is strong enough, it can avoid outside interference.

The reunified Falcon Kingdom happens to have this strength. Their naval strength is one of the best in the whole continent.

Coupled with the convenience of sea transportation, it can greatly reduce transportation costs and facilitate business development.

These innate conditions are not possessed by us. ”

Jacob said tactfully.

As a political officer, what I am most afraid of is the lord's blind toss.

Xueyueling's stall has been spread out large enough, and the actual control area has almost doubled compared to the fief divided by the kingdom at the beginning.

In addition, it is only a matter of time before the actual control area of the new fiefdom can be expected to span one million square kilometers.

Such a large territory is larger than many principalities, but it has a measly population of less than three million.

In Jacob's view, no reform is as important as increasing the population.

In the past days, in addition to preparing for the development of fiefdoms, the main work of the Ministry of Government Affairs was to buy people and immigrants.

The main part of the territory: export trade - magic potions; Import trade – food and population.

As for the import and export trade of other industrial and commercial products, they accounted for less than 10 percent of the total trade.

Although it is leading compared to its peers, the overall industrial structure of the territory is still a standard feudal lord's self-sufficient economy.

Compared with the ongoing reforms in the Falcon Kingdom, this feudal system is indeed backward, but it is effective.

Especially during the time of land reclamation, there was a unified team of land reclamation organized by the lord's mansion, and the ability to resist risks far exceeded that of small family agricultural production.

"I know all these realities, so the big framework can't be changed. What needs to be changed now is only the local area.

With the end of this war, it will be difficult for orcs to pose a threat to the kingdom for a long time to come.

The development of the army in the territory has basically reached a bottleneck. With our current population, it is not easy to feed a standing army of 30,000.

If it continues to increase, I am afraid that the neighbors will not feel at ease. Especially the one in the royal capital, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well!

The main thing that can be tapped in the follow-up is - the navy!

Putting aside the huge benefits of maritime trade, the Mountain Territory and the Snow Moon Territory are blocked by the vast sea, and if we want to ensure the smooth flow of the two places, we must have a strong fleet.

Of course, we also have the option of exchanging land with other nobles and directly moving the territory to the prairie to connect with each other. ”

As soon as Hudson's words fell, everyone's faces immediately changed.

Everyone has experienced the matter of territory exchange. It's just that at that time, it was only carried out within the southeastern provinces, and there were not many nobles involved.

The situation is noticeably different now, the mountainous territory is fertile, the infrastructure is well-developed, and the territory is not small.

If you move to the grassland, there will be many problems involved. Not only do you have to calculate the output value, but the relocation of immigrants is also very fatal.

"Lord Duke, all other issues are easy to discuss, and the matter of land exchange must not be allowed!

The fertile soil of the mountainous territory is very suitable for agricultural production, contributing to eighty percent of the territory's grain production capacity, as well as all steel production.

We are self-sufficient in food and weaponry, and we rely mainly on the mountain territories.

Although the Snow Moon Collar is also developing rapidly, it will take a long time to catch up with the Mountain Collar.

We are not short of land now, and we are not guilty of exchanging land with others.

If you really need land, just take it directly from the orcs! ”

David said with a look of trepidation.

As an agricultural officer of the territory, in order to be self-sufficient in food, his hair is about to fall out.

Finally, when the mountain territory was developed, and before a few days of good life, the boss of his own family actually had the idea of changing land.

In fact, the benefits of territorial concentration are also very clear to everyone.

The low contribution of the Snow Moon Territory is mainly due to the short development time, the serious lack of population in the territory, and the proximity to the front line.

Purely in terms of resources, such a large territory, the total amount of resources must far exceed that of the mountain territory.

Common minerals such as coal mines, iron ores, copper mines, gold mines, and salt mines have been discovered in Xueyueling, but they have not yet had time to be developed.

Hudson threw out two plans, which were actually a collision between land power and sea power.

Now that the threat of orcs has decreased, the foundation of the Snow Moon Territory is solid, and there is basically no tragedy of capsizing.

If all the territories are relocated, then it is needless to say that it is enough to develop the army with all its might.

Once the strategic focus is determined, it is to go all out to the east. Fighting will certainly be indispensable in the future, and it is inevitable to continue to expand the army.

As long as the benefits are large enough for Caesar IV to sleep, Hudson will not care.

If you bury your head in the territory and develop, do not go to the royal capital to be a powerful minister, do not take the initiative to break the rules of the political game, and do not cause trouble to the kingdom, you are a qualified noble lord.

As for the navy, it is enough to keep a fleet of troop transports that can threaten the coastal zone of the orc empire.

The three ghost ships are the best strategic barrier, and whoever dares to come from the sea to do things, keep them and the fleet of the Holy See, and feed the fish in a daze.

If we do not change land and continue to implement the strategy of attaching equal importance to two places, then a navy capable of fighting is indispensable.

The ghost ship can only do shady private work, and the mountain territory still needs to have a fleet that can show its hands on the bright side.

"Duke, David is right.

The strategic significance of the mountain realm is not only to provide us with food and grass, but also to connect the southern frontier of the kingdom.

With two places, our influence spans the north and south of the kingdom, not just the nobility of the Near East! ”

After Kane's words were finished, everyone began to persuade Hudson to dispel the idea of changing land.

Isn't it just the development of the navy, it's a big deal to increase the territorial debt. Anyway, the bank is self-opened, so you don't have to worry about not being able to borrow money.

Once political influence is lost, it is really gone.

For extended families, political influence is half life. Generally speaking, it is only a matter of time before you lose your political influence and are kicked out.

Perhaps in Hudson's time, with the old generals under his command, he could still exert influence over the kingdom's provinces, but the future heir certainly did not have this ability.

Even if the genes are high enough to produce outstanding people from generation to generation, there are not so many orcs to use as stepping stones for them.

Once the orc empire was cleared, the Northern Continent was basically at peace. For at least a hundred years, the Alpha Kingdom will be busy digesting the fruits of the war.

The Alpha Kingdom does not do things, and the sparsely populated and peace-loving elves will definitely not provoke a war that is "strategically bound to lose".

The follow-up doesn't matter anymore, no kingdom can last forever. Spend a hundred years comfortably and comfortably, and it is likely to be the time to go downhill.

A country in decline is too busy with its own internal affairs. How can there be effort to expand externally!
