Chapter 3: Responsibility
These are far more setbacks to reform. At every high-level meeting, the officials in charge of various affairs could be heard complaining, so that Hudson did not go to the royal capital to hold a meeting.
Can't be provoked, can afford to hide!
Since ancient times, there has been no bloodshed in political reform. Frankly, the nobility of the kingdom is enough to save face.
The people below just "non-violent non-cooperation" did not directly jump out against the reform.
Referring to several other countries that are in the reform phase, civil war is about to start now. Reformists and conservatives erupted when they met, and there were many fights, and even human lives were killed.
Contrasting the misery of these hard-pressed peers, Hudson felt that the reformers should be secretly happy. Although the progress of reform is not optimistic, at least life is not threatened!
If you don't look for troubles, then there are no worries. The biggest advantage of a front-line commander is that he can make excuses at any time not to participate in meaningless activities.
The secret battle that took place in the royal capital, Hudson directly pretended not to see. In order to avoid being involved, he even recalled the children of the family in the royal capital under the pretext of family special training.
On the prairie, a group of people in uniform are sweating and practicing.
From teenagers to gray-haired grandfathers, there are people of all ages. The style of painting is very funny, but the scene is extraordinarily serious.
The golden wind has not moved the cicada!
Reason told Hudson that the peaceful coexistence of reformers and conservatives was unsustainable. As the reform continues to advance, sooner or later the two sides will come along.
In the past, the Coslow family was a weak chicken, just go with the flow, and if you take the lead, you will die faster.
It's different now, and with the rise of Hudson, there are also many people along the way. The advantages of the prosperity of the people were brought into play at once.
The team of trained knights in front of him exceeded one regiment. Everywhere, it's a big force.
In the chaotic moment of the battle between reformers and conservatives, betrayal will become the political norm, and it is the family that is really reliable.
In order to strengthen the strength of the family, Hudson also made a bloody investment. All the knights of the major branches of the clan were gathered for special training, and a large number of resources to assist in cultivation were prepared.
Of course, family cultivation is not in vain. If you take the resources provided by the family, you have to work for the family.
As for the group of gray-haired old men, they were all elders of the clan. The young age is trapped by knowledge and resources, and it is not able to become a strong person, but it has a strong heart.
Under normal circumstances, large families would invest limited resources in their younger generations with greater potential, but the situation of the Coslow family is special.
The most valuable cultivation resources are all magic potions provided by Hudson, and the actual cost is not high, and it is not a problem to add a few copies.
These expenses are not wasted, there are clan elders to follow the training, and the juniors dare not be lazy at all.
There is only one goal, and strive to cultivate a group of backbones in the shortest possible time.
Not far from the training camp, there is also a doll training camp with even more people than here.
It was the future of the family, and Hudson had always taken it very seriously. Compulsory education cannot be popularized in the territory, so it should be popularized within the family.
In the era of the family, the people of the family were also a sign of high morality, but the population of the Coslow family was slightly larger.
Watching Franz Jr. sweat and train with the team, Hudson couldn't help but smile. The rebellious boy in the past finally paid for his youth and ignorance.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is the heir to a noble lord; At home, he was a hard-pressed teenager.
In addition to knight training, there are also a large number of cultural classes every day. If you want to take a day off, it's a luxury.
It is useless to protest, the heirs of the great nobles are all receiving a similar education of the king of the scrolls.
It's hard to think about it, you can't lag behind your peers in cultivation, and your grades in cultural courses are even more demanding.
In particular, the courses in political intrigue are the top priority of learning, and no shortcomings can be left behind.
The main thing is that he is young, and when he is older, the subjects of military command will also be arranged.
The effect is very obvious, the bear child who used to run away from home is now out of time.
Frankly, for an eight-year-old, this kind of education is very cruel.
But there is no way, enjoying the luxurious life of the children of the nobility, it is natural to have the strength to protect all this.
Of course, this told Franz Jr. that he would definitely protest strongly.
Growing up so big, he didn't know what the extravagant life of the children of the nobility was like, especially after entering school.
Except that he has sufficient cultivation resources and is a little more concerned by his teacher, he is not much different from other students in the family.
In order for little Franz to grow up normally, he hid his identity when he entered school. In the eyes of his classmates, he was just a branch of the Coslow family, and he was also a branch child from abroad.
In normal times, I eat a big pot of dishes with all the students and sleep on a hard bed in the dormitory. I finally stayed up until the weekend and went home to enjoy the make-up lessons of the full-time teacher.
The results can always be top-notch, others think he is extremely talented, only Franz Jr. himself knows how much effort has been put in behind it.
In a sense, the classmates who entered the "key class" with him still rubbed his light and had the opportunity to come into contact with the secret knowledge of the great nobles.
Hudson saw all this, but never said anything special. Even if he pulled people out for special training, he didn't deliberately take care of them.
Theoretically, as long as Hudson is willing to spend resources, a knight of a few years old can also be trained.
However, the main purpose of establishing the "junior class" is to cultivate strong people, and it is necessary to lay a solid foundation, and it is not possible to cut off the road of future development for the sake of temporary pleasure.
Even if he completes the basic training of knights early, in the next few years, Franz Jr. will still have to carry out basic training day after day, year after year.
In the quiet years, time always passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.
Most of the knights of the family who have received special training, with the help of sufficient resources, have made further progress in their cultivation. The lower the knight, the faster the cultivation will grow.
Looking at the individual is not very inconspicuous, but looking at the whole family, the strength of growth is not a little bit.
……
"The duke, the freedmen sent by the kingdom, and the serfs who have been recruited have arrived on the shores of Snow Moon Lake one after another. Officials from the Ministry of Agriculture are waiting for you to deploy the next step in your work arrangement! ”
Tom's reminder awakens Hudson's dusty memories.
In recent days, while he has been busy training the children of his family, and on the other hand, he is still paying close attention to the training of the army on the front line, and he has almost forgotten that he is still shouldering the "heavy responsibility of the kingdom's agricultural reform".
"Relocate people to the east bank of Xueyue Lake for resettlement, demarcate villages with reference to previous resettlement, and distribute production tools to them.
As soon as the house is built, the wasteland is reclaimed. The interns of the major colleges are ordered to cooperate and ensure that at least one million acres are sown in winter.
Inform the Royal Government and ask them to determine the position of the Territory as soon as possible.
In addition, let the front-line command come up with a defense plan to ensure the safety of the people who have cleared the wasteland. ”
issued three orders in a row, and Hudson was also patient with the royal government's ridicule to the limit.
The general direction was finalized, but the reformers did not show the decisiveness they should have in dividing the domains from the nobility.
There is no way, the reformers themselves are representatives of the aristocratic group. When formulating policies, it is still inevitable to lean towards the aristocracy.
It's just that the current situation is special, and the Directly Governed Territory also bears the heavy responsibility of providing military rations for the front-line garrisons. Nominally, it is a land reclamation by immigrants, but in fact it is a border area in Tuntian.
Dividing the land is equivalent to cutting meat on the aristocratic group, and everyone is reluctant; The division of the land was in conflict with the strategic policies implemented by the kingdom.
Referring to the situation in the countries of the continent, the best land is not necessarily in the hands of the noble lords, but the most suitable land for agricultural production is definitely in the hands of the aristocratic group.
According to normal circumstances, this kind of complicated matter involving the interests of all parties is indispensable for political games. In less than a year and a half, there is no result at all.
The reformists are not revolutionaries, their political positions are not so firm, and while pushing for reforms, they also need to appease the local real power.
In the end, there is a high probability that the freemen will make sacrifices. It is necessary not only to reclaim barren land, but also to undertake the heavy task of defending the frontier.
From this point of view, the encounter between these freedmen and Hudson was completely like smoke from the ancestral grave.
In the kingdom, there is no one else in the kingdom who dares to stand up to pressure from all sides to fight for the rights and interests of the freedmen.
Even King Caesar IV could not betray his own class. Hudson dared to take the food from the tiger's mouth, and it was also with the help of the military.
The main purpose of this immigration is to solve the problem of military rations for the army. In other words, it becomes the interests of the military.
Cutting the flesh of a nobleman for the freedmen is a mistaken ass. But the main body of interest has become the military, and everything is different.
Only the most fertile and most suitable land for reclamation can be reclaimed in the shortest possible time and provide the army with the most military rations.
Under this guiding ideology, it is nothing to occupy the kingdom's land in advance.
The decree was given, and Hudson did not remain idle. Free people had no political status in this age other than nominal personal liberty.
If he doesn't pay more attention, there will definitely be a lot of human tragedies when he is settled.
In fact, on the way to emigration, many people have already fallen. As far as Hudson knew, these freedmen were not treated as well as conscripted serfs.
There is no way, the serfs are the property of the nobles and lords everywhere, and once the losses are heavy and the masters make a fuss, the bureaucrats in charge of the implementation will not be able to eat and walk around.
The freedmen were miserable, and no matter how many dead and wounded along the way, no one stood up for them.
This kind of tragedy is very contradictory to Hudson. On the one hand, they want to emancipate serfs and improve social productivity; On the other hand, they are worried that they will mess up, which will further aggravate social contradictions.
"Transforming society" is a big proposition. Even with his current status, Hudson can only hide his true thoughts in the depths of his heart.
In front of anyone, he was an outstanding nobleman. Even if you join the camp of reformers, you are playing aristocratic reforms.
From the point of view of time, reclamation only began at this time, and the probability of catching up with winter ploughing is almost zero.
If it is the original world, it is not said to be a million acres, even if it is a grab, it is a miracle.
It is easy to convert grasslands into farmland, but basic water conservancy facilities cannot be completed in a short period of time.
Building a full-fledged irrigation system can take years, if not decades.
In the wizarding world, anything is possible.
Nearly a million freemen and 300,000 serfs, as well as a large number of interns from major academies, joined the army of land reclamation, and they had the power to turn decay into magic.
……
"Transporting manure?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, are you sure you're not joking!"
Battalion Commander Charles asked incredulously.
Unlike other generals, Hudson had a habit of repairing septic tanks. Often near the barracks, there are large and small septic tanks, which are specially stacked for the manure of people, animals and livestock.
Vegetables that have been damaged during transportation are usually thrown in. After the pit is full, it is directly sealed on the spot.
The outside world only regarded Hudson as a clean-loving affair, and no one took it seriously after the tea and dinner that was once circulated in the aristocratic circle.
"Battalion Commander Charles, you heard it right, this is the military order!
The command ordered the troops to clean up the manure pits. The feces that were cleaned up were all transported to the shores of Xueyue Lake and disposed of by the magistrates. ”
The head of Basil Sophia replied with a serious face.
It doesn't matter if you can understand it, a military order is a military order. As soldiers, they only have the role of carrying out orders.
Although the transportation of manure does not match the image and temperament of the aristocracy, the officers who follow Hudson are all specially trained.
The manure pit has not been skipped, but everyone has soaked in the mud pit. What image is not imaged, it can't stand the boss from throwing them into the mud pit.
It did not stir up waves in the outside world, and that was because the aristocratic officers who participated in the training did not talk about the content of the special training, which was called the principle of secrecy.
Batch after batch of victims joined the training camp in high spirits, and then left bitterly.
"Muddy pit" is just one of the training items. There are many similar tricks, and a trained aristocratic officer will have a strong heart.
No matter how active they were in front of us, after the training was over, everyone was tight-lipped. In front of anyone, the content of the training is never mentioned.
In Charles's opinion, it is a very strange order, and the well-informed Basil Sophia is the head of the regiment, but there is no wave in his heart.
"Yes, Commander!
Mission completion guaranteed! ”
Battalion Commander Charles replied immediately.
……
The convoy slowly moved forward, and the waiting fleet on the shore of Xueyue Lake was already looking forward to it.
Some of the dung collected by the army was transported to the eastern region and handed over to the free people for use; The other part went all the way southwest to the Snow Moon Collar.
Typical use of power for personal gain, but everyone doesn't think this thing is a treasure, and Hudson is cheaper for nothing.
Having tasted the sweetness of composting technology, the armor guards who were responsible for collecting the manure did not feel the smell of manure at all. Give the most enthusiastic smile to the officers and soldiers who transported the dung.
On the other side, the free people on the dung carrier had a completely different face. If it weren't for the knight lord who was in charge of managing them and forcibly ordered them to come, they wouldn't have said anything.
Different attitudes lead to different results. The manure carriers on this side are full, and the manure carriers on the other side are less than half loaded.
No matter how much you harvest, there are so many delivery tasks for today.
Tassie, who has a nimble brain, is the first to notice that something is wrong. If the feces are useless, the behavior of the person on the other side is too weird.
Could it be that this thing, as stated in the agricultural technology manual, can promote the growth of food?
The seeds of doubt are born, and they begin to take root. The shrewd Tassie did not communicate his guesses with people in the first place.
Follow the fleet back to the station, reverse the manure on the ship, and distribute it to every villager.
None of the villagers who received the feces were not weeping with a sad face. If it weren't for the fact that the knight master was supervising from afar, it is estimated that everyone would have begun to scold.
With a stomach full of reluctance, everyone still endured the nausea and scattered the dung in the "raw land" that they had just reclaimed.
Compared to others, Tassi worked exceptionally hard and strictly followed the requirements. His instincts told him that it would be beneficial.
