The situation on the continent is changing, and the Falcon Kingdom, which originally had no sense of existence, suddenly gathered attention from all sides.

The last time he enjoyed this kind of treatment was when the rebels killed the king.

In a moment's time, the Falcon Kingdom became history.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly enough to support Princess Marisol on the throne in time, quickly quelling the domestic rebellion, and did not give the "neighbors" a chance to take advantage of.

The reshuffle of power caused by civil strife created an opportunity for the subsequent reform of the Falcon Kingdom.

The old aristocracy is not stupid, and the previous opposition to the free trade proposed by the new aristocracy is because the right to speak is not in their own hands.

After the end of the infighting, the aristocratic group, led by the three major families, not only annexed the factories of the new nobles, but also inherited the overseas trade routes they had opened.

No one will get along with money, the benefits are in their own hands, and everyone suddenly becomes enlightened.

For the sake of huge profits, the original conservatives have become the new reformers. Lessons learned from previous failures, follow-up reforms are progressing very smoothly.

After the invasion of the geocentric race, the Falcon Kingdom gave full play to its maritime trade advantages and acted as a logistics nurse for the warring countries, earning "100 million losses" of profits by the way.

After seeing the great appetite of the two major financiers, as long as they can choose the country, they are looking for new financiers.

The Falcon Kingdom, which had a bulging waist bag, soon entered the eyes of various countries and became a sweet tooth.

……

"A total of 18 countries have applied for loans from us, what do you think?"

Queen Marisol asked nonchalantly.

Affected by the heavy damage to the strength of the royal family, she, the king, has always been in a weak state, and the government is basically in the hands of the three major families.

Queen Marisol, as the king, was a decoration many times.

It seems that she has accepted her fate, and when dealing with government affairs, Queen Marisol has become accustomed to throwing problems to courtiers.

Everyone's decision-making is her opinion, and when there is an endless dispute, she will persuade and fight, and the main thing is to stay out of the matter.

The effect is very obvious, the queen's paddling is exactly what the nobles want to see, and the two sides cooperate very tacitly.

"Your Majesty, there is a funding gap in so many countries, and the kingdom will definitely not be able to bear it.

What's more, many of these countries are regarded as a meal on the plate by the Franks and Libyans, and the risk of taking food is too great.

At present, there are not many countries that are really suitable for us to intervene.

There is less money and more people, so it depends on the conditions they give each.

Personally, I prefer to lend to coastal countries, and these countries cannot be too weak yet! ”

Duke Carroll replied with a smile.

This issue has been discussed privately for a long time, and now it is just a procedure on the bright side.

In recent years, the Falcon Kingdom has developed well, but compared with the three major powers, it is still far from the military strength.

With the exception of the Alpha Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away, the Frankish Empire and the Kingdom of Iliba are only separated by a sea from them.

Offending one of them is enough for them, let alone provoking two at the same time.

In this context, the Falcon Kingdom's best partner is the Five Nations Alliance, followed by several major powers in the Southern Continent.

As for the small countries, that's just a bunch.

Only major powers can withstand international pressure and stand with them.

It is not enough to meet political needs, but also to consider the ability to repay. A bankrupt country like the Duchy of Mossi is on the credit blacklist.

The Alpha Kingdom, a top powerhouse, is also not a good partner.

Under normal circumstances, it is the owner who has a higher right to speak, but it is not applicable when encountering the strong.

A small amount of borrowing can bring the relationship closer, and if a huge amount of debt is released, the relationship will become the uncle who owes the debt.

After a few cuts, there are not many partners available for selection.

"Your Excellency, pay attention to the degree. The kingdom is at a critical juncture of rapid development, and we can't make too much of a move! ”

Queen Marisol warned slightly.

The Franks and Libyans dared to demand that countries open their doors because they were strong enough to deal with all kinds of contingencies.

The same thing is put on the Falcon Kingdom, their small body simply can't carry it.

After all, there is a trick in this world called "Yang Feng Yin Violation".

Doing business on someone else's territory, and doing something casually, can turn the previous promise into waste paper.

Now the most suitable thing for the Falcon Kingdom is to cut the flesh with a soft knife, rather than directly breaking into other people's homes to plunder.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!

We don't have their appetite for the kingdoms to be food.

The specific terms of the loan are directly set by the borrowing countries themselves, and whoever bids higher will be given priority to cooperate with whom. ”

……

The undercurrent of the international situation continues, more and more countries are involved, and the internal mediation conference of the Alpha Kingdom has also come to an end.

In fact, the meeting was not so much a mediation meeting as a truce between the two factions.

There is no tenderness in political struggle, and if you lose, you must admit it.

It is only natural that the conservatives will win a big victory in the struggle and control more of the voice in the court.

As a loser, hand over the power in your hands, recall the children who are officials in the court, and go back and wait for the next opportunity.

Aristocratic struggles are never won overnight, and it is possible for political confrontations between several families to last for hundreds of years.

Lost his position in the court, and that was also temporary. As long as the fiefdom is still in hand, there is a possibility of turning the tables.

The officials in the court are not eternal, every year someone leaves, and a new person comes in.

In addition to the normal election of officials, governors and county guards in various places also have recommended places.

It is nothing more than that after the conservatives control the court, it will be more difficult for the children of the emerging aristocratic group to develop after they enter the court.

The specific power struggle had little to do with Hudson.

Since he has controlled the military, he is doomed to lose the court and the Coslow family.

This is an unspoken rule among the great nobles, and it is impossible for a family to take advantage of it alone.

Generally speaking, as long as there are ministers in the family, it is difficult for the clan to have high-level generals in the army, and vice versa.

If someone in the clan becomes the prime minister, then the limit of the development of the children of the family in the army is the commander of the army, and the king will not be able to sleep any further.

Hudson, let alone Hudson.

In the era of strong royal power, the prime minister and commander are not the children of big families, and even ministers rarely let big nobles directly serve as ministers.

Previously, the political structure of the Alpha Kingdom was like this, and the important positions in the court and the army did not have the share of the great nobles.

It lasted until Hudson counterattacked and became a great nobleman, and then gradually changed.

This is a special exception, under normal circumstances, the king will give priority to supporting his own people, and only if he can't help them will he break the convention.

Hudson's rise had a certain impact on the royal power, but it was generally favorable.

Having defeated the old enemy of the orcs in a row, Caesar IV's reputation at home and abroad is also rising, and he is recognized by the outside world as one of the most outstanding monarchs of the contemporary human race.

If the reform is successful, then the "contemporary" and "one" can be removed, and he will become the most outstanding monarch in the history of the human race.

It is a pity that the reformers were defeated, and the children of the royal family who were implicated were also forced to withdraw from the court.

……

"Humph!"

After a cold snort, Caesar IV walked away on the spot.

It can be seen that he is very dissatisfied with the result of the negotiation between the two camps

According to the terms agreed by both parties, the next prime ministers and ministers will come from the families of conservative nobles.

Such a blatant division of the position in the court clearly did not take him as a king in his eyes.

As a mediator, Hudson knew full well that this was deliberate on both sides.

No prince wants a strong king on his head.

Looking at Caesar IV's performance in recent years, it is entirely possible that he could have become a powerful monarch if he had advanced in personal prestige.

It was very difficult for other kings to gain more prestige, but it was different for Caesar IV.

Whether it is the success of the reform or the future destruction of the orc empire, it will push him to the altar.

If that's all there is to it, Caesar IV is still very young, who can stand it!

Similar fears apply to Hudson.

It's just that his personal strength is too strong, and he has been practicing in retreat every now and then, leaving the impression of a cultivator maniac on the outside world.

Privately, Hudson also arranged for someone to release the news: when his son becomes an adult, he will give up power and penance.

Although it is gossip, this statement is very marketable, especially those Sacred Domain powerhouses are convinced of it.

They themselves have chosen it this way, and those powers in the world are comparable to the path of immortality.

In this context, naturally no one jumped out to be evil.

Offending Caesar IV was temporary, and decades were over.

provoked Hudson, I wonder if this great enemy is still there thousands of years later.

At least before the fall of the Orc Empire, no one would dare to jump out and die.

After all, no one wants to be targeted in a war.

In the event of a great victory in the kingdom, everyone is celebrating the victory, and the only thing to do is to look at the list of the dead one after another.

If you want to make trouble, you can't make a fuss, and the war is destined to kill people.

"It's a bit too late, when you make a decision on these things, you should first ask Your Majesty's opinion!"

Hudson reprimanded with a serious face.

It's just that these words fell into the ears of everyone, and they directly changed their taste.

Merely criticizing them for the wrong procedures and not opposing the agreement they reached is undoubtedly a subtle expression of support.

"The marshal is right, when His Majesty's anger is gone, we will go over and apologize to him!"

Caesar IV, who had not yet gone far, almost fainted on the spot after hearing the words of Duke Rudy's hippie smile.

"The anger is gone, apologize" is clearly that he is not angry enough, and he wants to add another fire.

What had been a good political meeting was now about to turn into a hilarious comedy, and Hudson glared at Duke Rudy fiercely.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy had a grudge against the royal family for killing his father, Hudson would definitely give him a fat beating on the spot to show his image as a loyal servant.

None of the nobles present felt strange, although the death of Duke Tous was over, it did not mean that the matter was over.

If Duke Rudy didn't move at all, the outside world would have to wonder if the Artsard family was going to fail, and the head of the family didn't even have a little blood.

Compared with directly turning against the royal family, this kind of innocuous prank is the lowest cost.

"Alright, that's all for today's meeting!"

Seeing the change in the atmosphere, Hudson decisively called the meeting to a conclusion.

The grievances and grievances within the kingdom are a mess that cannot be sorted out by human beings.

The best option for things that are destined to be unsuccessful is to dodge.

The task of reconciling the disputes between the two factions was successfully accomplished, and the new nobles and the king were not satisfied, but this was also a matter of no choice.

The bitter fruit you have planted can only be swallowed by yourself.

The last time they had simply abandoned the reformers at the last court meeting, they should have thought that there would be such a day.

If the reformers had really supported the reformers at that time, even if the reform would have failed, they could have persisted for a few more days.

……

The Terran world is in turmoil, and the alien world is not peaceful.

Any effective reform will inevitably involve vested interests. When interests are involved, disputes are indispensable.

Summer turns to autumn, and the joy of a good harvest fills the land, but the spring breeze of reform turns into a tornado.

The hardest hit is naturally the Orc Empire, and many races are playing together to change the law and survive, and the scene is really lively.

In this era of rapid change, the ancient tribal system has obviously become a shackle that restricts the growth of the strength of all ethnic groups.

It's one thing to know, it's another to change.

The production capacity of the nomads is too weak and the use of land is very low, and it is difficult to feed a large population, not to mention professional soldiers.

Constantly losing in the war with the human race, it seems that he is unlucky to meet the Great Demon King, but in fact, it is also a failure in the battle at the civilization level.

The explosion of magic technology is constantly increasing the comprehensive strength of the human race, and Hudson's appearance only accelerates the time for victory.

When the Warcraft Cavalry, the Magic Crystal Cannon, and the Magic Crossbow, these war killing weapons appeared in the war on a large scale, and the gap between the strength of the human race and the various races gradually widened.

Even if the various clans choose to change the law to follow up now, they are still one step slower in the end.

A lot of times, one step can make a difference.

The Orc Empire of a multi-racial nation has more trouble than any other alien race.

The talent pool does not exist, more than ninety percent of the races do not have a complete knowledge inheritance, and many tribal chiefs are illiterate.

The delicate work of climbing the technology tree is obviously not suitable for the group of orcs.

If you can't take a shortcut, you can only start from the basics and first complete the transformation from nomadic civilization to agricultural civilization.

Similar operations have been done by the Orc Empire in the past.

Many of the farmlands on the shores of Lake Snow Moon were left over from the defeat of the orcs and are still in use today.

However, the transformation of civilization does not mean the improvement of combat effectiveness.

In the initial stage of agricultural civilization, the productivity has increased a lot, but the military conversion rate is not high.

Cases of barbarism triumphing over civilization are also common in the continent of Aslante.

Looking at the various reform attempts of various races, the dark elf queen was helpless.

Everyone is carrying out reforms, and they are not moving, which is a sign of unsociability.

For an alien race, "being unsociable" is a sin in itself.

If you want to integrate into the big family of orcs, then some behavioral habits must be close to them.

"You are all wise men of the clan, where do you think we should start if we carry out reforms?"

The Queen of the Dark Elves asked expectantly.

Looking at the entire continent of Aslanth, the savannah is certainly not a rich place, but compared to the inner world, it is also a rare place with abundant materials.

With the talent they inherited from the elves, they planted a large number of trees after establishing themselves in the grasslands.

After being magically generated, the sapling quickly grew. What was once a land of abundant water and grass has now been transformed into a forest.

Perhaps they have been hungry for too long in the Inner World, and the dark elves, who have also inherited the talent of planting trees, are now planting all fruit trees.

At the current rate, two more years of hard work, these orchards alone will be able to feed them.

This is how the traditional elves live, picking fruits is enough for the tribesmen to satisfy their hunger, and then adding some honey and mountain delicacies is the daily food of the elves.

The taste of the dark elves is slightly heavier, and they cannot be less than drinking wine and eating meat.

Of course, these bad habits have also been slowly corrected in the days of living in the inner world.

Being able to fill their stomachs is the greatest happiness, wine and meat are all luxuries, and even they have passively learned to grow agriculture.

After returning to the continent of Aslanth, with the help of trade with various tribes, the daily necessities of the tribes became more and more abundant, and everything returned to the original.

"Your Majesty, unlike other races, we dark elves are full of problems, and there are countless things that need to be changed.

But our situation is different!

Even if the clansmen are working hard to have children, the population growth rate is still at the bottom of the orc empire.

According to the current production model, we have enough to meet the daily needs of the tribe, and at most add some pastures to store livestock.

If you want to develop other industries, the first thing to solve is the geocentric channel.

We have sent a prospecting team to conduct a preliminary screening of the resources of the territory, which is too barren compared to the mineral resources of the Inner World territory.

With our smelting technology, it is difficult to smelt high-quality metals of acceptable quality, even if the ore is mined.

As for other political system reforms, I don't think there is a need to mess around for the time being.

Anyway, everyone is tribal, and we continue to use it, which is not eye-catching.

……”

After the elf old man finished speaking, all the elves present opened their mouths to echo.

Unlike other races, where there are many social contradictions, the dark elves have just moved over, and the original social structure has been disrupted and reshaped.

The clansmen have just finished the hard days of "hunger and fullness", and being able to fill their stomachs is the greatest happiness, and they really don't have the heart to make trouble.

Without demand, there is no impetus for reform.

Compared to changing the law, if they want to increase their strength, the best choice is to use the resources of the Inner World as soon as possible.

It's just that the geocentric passage is on someone else's territory, and the tax officials of Xueyueling have already targeted them, and all materials from the inner world must pay taxes.

"The matter of the geocentric passage is not urgent for the time being.

However, the resources of the inner world can still be used first.

I'll send someone to talk to Hudson about that vampire later, and the seventy percent tax rate in kind is too high, and if the tax rate can't be lowered, it's going to be a shot or two! ”

Every time Hudson was mentioned, the Dark Elf Queen's anger could not help but bubble up.

From the moment they stepped out of the Inner World, the Dark Elves have been pitted.

Not to mention the things on the battlefield, just after the war, Hudson's good deeds made the dark elves who tossed want to cry without tears.

From the sky-high price of daily necessities to the current seventy percent tax rate in kind, it is simply trying to suck them dry.
