The celebration banquet was held ten days later, and there was no need to go there in advance to attract the attention of the outside world. From the beginning of the winter expedition to the present, Hudson has been gone for more than half a year, and Hudson also feels physically and mentally exhausted.

When I returned home, I had just met my wife and children, and before I had time to communicate in depth, I immediately devoted myself to territorial affairs.

This is the fate of the nobles of the Aslant Continent!

While enjoying the glory and wealth, we must also bear the corresponding responsibilities and obligations. A leisurely life is a luxury, and the nobility of the least Alpha Kingdom is not entitled to it.

The stronger the ability, the more times you lead the troops to go out on the expedition, and the longer you spend with your family.

Decentralization is impossible!

The Coslow family, a new aristocracy, was born around Hudson from the beginning, and it was essentially a grass platform.

Almost all of the top managers in the territory are hired from outside, and there are very few in their own families who can do it.

Against this backdrop, Hudson had to be autocratic in order to ensure his family's dominance over the region.

Decentralization is only possible after the system is perfected and the most suitable development model for one's own country is explored.

Human nature does not stand the test.

Hudson never intended to test the loyalty of his men.

People change, and even if you are loyal now, you can't guarantee that you will continue to be loyal in the future. In different periods, people's mentality is different.

What's more, from the early days of the business, the territory was full of spies from many forces.

In line with the principle of value and not waste, although these people have been transferred from core positions one after another, they are still contributing to the construction of the territory.

Whether there is something deeper hidden, no one can say. Without jeopardizing his own interests, Hudson did not mind pretending to be confused and using these good cattle and horses to sell his life.

Hudson's brow furrowed. The worst feared thing finally happened.

The daily administrative expenses of the territory have increased substantially, and the efficiency of several major projects has decreased instead of increasing, which is obviously a problem in management.

For one side, it is normal for management efficiency to decline as the scale increases.

Deep down, Hudson was also prepared. The Snow Moon Collar and the Mountain Collar together are already a behemoth, and it is impossible to manage them as finely as before.

However, there should also be a cyclical process when the efficiency decreases, rather than a cliff-like decline.

In just over half a year, so many problems have arisen, and if it takes a long time, wouldn't the consequences be even more serious.

Fortunately, the level of the bureaucrats below is still in the original version, and the level of making false accounts is limited, otherwise Hudson would not have found the problem just from the account statement.

"In the days I've been away, nothing major has happened in the territory, has it?"

Hudson asked, pretending not to know.

The bureaucracy is moving towards corruption, which is an inevitable cyclical pattern. Any force can maintain relative integrity in the early stage of entrepreneurship, and it will inevitably become corrupt in the later stage.

As a new aristocracy, Hudson was a strong deterrent to bureaucrats in the family, and he encountered few problems in this regard in the early development of the territory.

"Duke, the realm is working properly......"

Perhaps seeing that Hudson's eyes were wrong, Jacob was a little apprehensive when he replied.

He is naturally aware of the problems that arise in the territory, but now is the era of the family, and many times it is the favor that is greater than the rules.

As a retainer with a foreign surname, he can only pretend not to know some problems when he sees them.

"Is that so?"

"It shouldn't be that if I go out for a few more years, there will be a change of master in this house!"

Although Hudson's tone was calm, it fell into everyone's ears, but they were all scared half to death.

"Change the master", a proper sentence of heart.

Mo said that a strong head of a family like Hudson, even if he was a weak head of the family, could not be seized by someone while he was out to lead troops to fight.

The following crimes are absolutely taboo in the continent of Aslante. Even if they succeed in seizing power, they will be liquidated by the kingdom.

Everyone has selfish intentions, but it is an exaggeration to commit chaos. Whoever rebels can't rebel against Master Hudson.

No matter how much they colluded, Hudson would stop ahead and the team would fall apart.

"Duke, we ......"

Without waiting for everyone to explain, Hudson interrupted with a wave of his hand: "I don't want to hear so much nonsense!"

In the past six months, some people have been so much that they have almost forgotten who is the master here.

Whatever the origin, as long as you lose your loyalty, you are not qualified to live in this world.

Finally, I will give you a chance to immediately pull out the moths in the territory and dispose of them all.

If you can't do it well, I don't mind letting someone who can do it well! ”

The problems existing in the territory are not a day or two, but the contradictions are covered up by high-speed development.

In order not to affect the speed of development of the territory, Hudson chose to postpone the problem, and this delay has come to an end.

Once people's greed is aroused, it can no longer be contained.

Hudson's tolerance in front of him made these guys more and more fearless, and eventually their desires were amplified and they began to manipulate the accounts.

If it was an ordinary nobleman, he might have been fooled.

It's a pity that this is all Hudson's leftovers, and even Bear Stearns can read the ledger, let alone his master.

When things get bigger, it's time to clean.

You don't have to think about it to know that most of those who dare to act so recklessly are related households.

There is a high probability that his cronies will be found, and most of them will also be members of the Coslow family.

It can be said that it is a hair that moves the whole body.

The involvement is so wide, this kind of thing that is destined to offend a large group of people, naturally no one wants to do it.

Including Hudson himself!

If it is really found out that his descendants have made meritorious contributions and shed blood on the battlefield, how should he deal with it?

Killed, that is impersonal and does not conform to the mainstream of the times.

If you don't kill, you will destroy the system again.

He, the lord of the lord, took the lead in not following the rules, and the people below would not take the rules seriously.

Neither way of dealing with it is a good choice. In this context, someone needs to come out and be evil.

The Ministry of Government did not deal with the problem at the beginning of the day, and if it dragged on until now, they deserved to take the blame.

……

Affected by the defeat of the geocentric race by the alliance of the five nations, the countries of the southern continent were greatly stimulated.

Mixing outside, everyone wants to save face.

The countries of the Northern Continent and the Central Continent have defeated the invaders, and these human pillars have not yet taken down the enemy, so where will everyone's face go!

As soon as they stomped their feet and fired fiercely, countries stepped up their offensives one after another.

The effect is leveraged, and the countries of the southern continent have proved their strength to the outside world with practical actions.

In particular, the leading Frankish Empire and the Kingdom of Ibbelia were particularly eye-catching in the Great War.

The other three veteran kingdoms also performed well in the final counterattack.

The war ended, and the era of peace began again, but the smell of gunpowder between the two camps became stronger and stronger.

Fortunately, neither side wanted to go to war at this moment, and the high-level officials of various countries took action to suppress it, so as to avoid the escalation of the conflict.

Kingdom of Avalat.

As the leader of the last wave of reform, he has been pushed to the forefront again at this moment.

Although the previous reforms were not thorough, they still played a positive role in enhancing military capabilities.

The introduction of the national reserve system from the Alpha Kingdom did not make the Kingdom of Awarat stronger, but solved the problem of their numbers.

In the face of the invasion of the geocentric race, the local nobles who completed the reserve training were the first to eat the dividends in the big war.

The aristocracy is a stubborn and good learner.

Seeing the benefits of the new system, everyone's resistance is not so strong.

After the Great War, the surviving noble lords spontaneously joined the reform team.

Of course, these people cannot be regarded as real reformers, and their reforms are only aimed at improving the combat effectiveness of their own private army.

Even small changes are something to be happy about for Elton VIII.

Since his accession to the throne, he has launched a vigorous reform movement, which is one of the few achievements.

Whatever you say, we're all in the same boat. The increase in the strength of the nobles' private armies is also the growth of the kingdom's military power.

"Your Majesty, it's time to move forward with the next step of reform.

Judging from the information collected from various parts of the continent, both the countries in the alliance and those alien races have the intention of reform.

A few days ago, Charles III issued a draft reform at the Noble Council.

These include the promotion of the National Reserve, the reform of the business environment, and the promotion of the magic industry......

On the side of the Alpha Kingdom, Caesar IV summoned the great nobles from all over the country to the royal capital on the pretext of holding a celebration banquet, most likely for the purpose of reform.

These top powers are all seeking change, and we can't rest on our laurels! ”

Duke Grenavan said confidently.

From the initiation of the reform to the present, the situation at this time is in the best interest of the reformists.

Outside, the whole continent has sounded the clarion call for reform.

It's not a question of whether you want to or not, in order for the race to be better passed on, all races must be rolled up.

Internally, after suffering a lesson of blood and tears, the noble lords deeply realized that they must have enough strength, otherwise it is easy to stage a tragedy of "no one is gone, no money is spent".

Even the most die-hard conservatives have softened their stance when they oppose reform.

"Duke, we have taken the plunge in this reform, and it is best to have successful cases to learn from!"

Elton VIII said with a solemn expression.

After the reformers came to power, they launched dozens of reforms, and the successful ones were all copied from the experience of the powerful countries.

On the contrary, the reform measures that have been concocted in light of their own realities have all ended in failure.

If we have suffered a loss, we must sum up our experience.

After in-depth research, Elton VIII discovered that the domestic aristocracy had a serious desire to flatter foreigners.

Generally speaking, as long as the major countries take the lead in implementing reform measures and achieve good results, the resistance of everyone is much lighter.

The reformers took opposite positions on the reformers alone, and many nobles did not think they would succeed at all.

It must be a tragedy for a country for the ruling class to have such thinking.

But for reformers, it was a shortcut.

At least when copying the measures of the powerful country, it is possible to win the support of this part of the aristocracy with serious flattery.

As long as the reform can be successful, the process is not so important.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the Franks, Libya, and the Alpha Kingdom, we can actually learn from the Duchy of Moxi and the Falcon Kingdom.

Although their overall national strength is not as good as that of the three major countries, there are still merits in their internal affairs reforms.

Looking at this invasion of the geocentric race, you can know that the Principality of Moxi, which has a weak national strength, actually defeated the enemy before the three countries of the Central Continent.

The Falcon Kingdom is isolated and has not been invaded by the Inner Race, but their reforms are just as impressive.

The results have been mainly in the fiscal sector, which has seen a sharp increase in revenues since the issuance of the Reform Charter.

Last year's fiscal revenue surpassed its pre-war peak and is still growing at a high speed.

On the one hand, there is the development of maritime trade, and on the other hand, there is the advancement of magical technology.

During the war, the Falcon Kingdom exported a large amount of cloth and ordnance to the countries of the mainland, which was enough to prove their strong production capacity. ”

Duke Grenavan patiently explained.

It's not that he doesn't want to learn from the three major countries, it's really that these three are not easy to learn.

For example, the Alpha Kingdom, which they studied before, has now begun to focus on the development of cavalry after capturing a large amount of grassland.

If the northern continent is so playful, there must be nothing wrong with it, but the southern continent is different.

In addition to the plains, there is also a dense network of water, as well as various mountains and hills.

The complex terrain limited the play of ordinary cavalry. Even if you want to develop cavalry, it is also to develop Warcraft cavalry.

All the countries in the Southern Continent are doing it, but the material consumption of this gold-swallowing giant beast is not a little bit.

The annual expenses of a Warcraft legion are enough to feed twenty or thirty infantry legions.

And this cost is still an imaginary number, the real cost, depending on what the monster is raised.

Unless productivity goes further, the Warcraft Legion of various countries is basically approaching the upper limit of its development until now.

After all, Warcraft is meant to eat meat.

In order to develop the Warcraft Legion, all countries are passively developing the breeding industry, and the annual food consumption is increasing.

In a sense, the last time the continental war broke out suddenly, there was also a credit to these monsters.

The Franks and Libyans, who were determined to vigorously develop the Monster Legion, needed large tracts of land to grow food and raise livestock.

The Franks and Libyans can do this, but it does not mean that the kingdom of Avalat can do the same.

did not have enough military strength to seize land from the alien race, which directly cut off their Warcraft Legion's strong road.

If the strongest ones can't learn, they can only settle for the next best thing and choose from the rest of the countries to learn.

The effect is certainly not as convincing as that of the three major countries, but the successful experience of others is in front of everyone's eyes.

"Send a delegation to the two countries to investigate and see if we can learn from some useful ones!"

Elton VIII thought for a moment and said.

In the past, neither the Principality of Moxi nor the Falcon Kingdom could be seen by them, and everyone was not a first-class player.

Looking at the original ranking of the top ten kingdoms on the mainland, you can see that the Falcon Kingdom has not been found from beginning to end.

Even after the fall of the Warhammer Kingdom and the emergence of vacant positions, there was still no chance for them to fill their positions.

Even if their military strength is not weak and their economic strength is very strong, everyone still selectively ignores it.

There are many similar foils, such as: the "Mercenary Kingdom" and "Kyrill Kingdom" that were destroyed earlier......

Unlike the Falcon Kingdom, these countries have long fallen behind in their own strength, except for bearing the name of the kingdom.

The name simply means that they have been glorious in the past, or that the royal family has a prominent ancestor, or that they have inherited a crown from a relative.

……

Kingdom of Iblibya.

"Countries are taking action, and we can't afford to sit idle.

The continent of Aslant is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and judging from the situation of this war, the kingdom is lacking in many aspects.

If these problems are not solved, let alone compete with the Franks for the position of the first power of the human race, I am afraid that even the current international status will be robbed.

There are all kinds of signs that the military strength of the Alpha Kingdom is very close to ours, and it may surpass the past at any time.

You all know how belligerent the madmen of the Alpha Kingdom are.

It took hundreds of years for a Hudson to be born, and if they didn't do something, they wouldn't be an Arpa.

If nothing else, the Orc Empire will have a hard time next.

If they are unlucky, it is not surprising that they will become the nourishment for the growth of the Alpha Kingdom! ”

King Bordeaux VIII said with a serious face.

In the last 100 years, the Kingdom of Ibya-Libyan has always been fighting for one, and occasionally counterattacking a wave.

Although this transcendence was short-lived, it was soon overtaken by the Franks, who had also been the number one power of the human race.

The competition is no more than the old rival Frankish Empire, and everyone can still understand it; If it is overtaken by the Alpha Kingdom, it will be a big shame.

Once this happens, they will be dreaming if they want to call the younger brother and the Franks to fight against each other in the future.

"Your Majesty, since everyone is reforming, let's follow up as well!

The kingdom as a whole is improving, and there is no need to change the big framework, but the details need to be changed.

For example, the reserve system of the Alpha legal person is worth learning from.

A group of farmers can't make it to the big climate, but when the army is insufficient, they can barely make do.

Another example: the new economic ...... of the Franks"

Prime Minister Olmos said.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is something that has been negotiated in advance and deliberately taken out at such a time.

The reason for reform is very strong, not because it is a strong country that changes the law, but because competitors are changing the law.

In this world of great controversy, the Kingdom of Ibiris does not want to be left behind, so it can only choose to follow up.

If you want to complete the counterattack against the Franks, then you can't just follow up, you must also be ahead of your competitors.

The temporary raid directly caught the conservatives off guard.

He wanted to speak out against it, but he was worried that the obstruction at this time would cause the kingdom to fall behind in a new round of competition.
