That's it, the war about the Hereford family has come to an end, the soldiers, the army has basically done what to do, and then it should be the business of the government and the executives. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this change of dynasty, as much property was to be appropriated - the factories of the factory owners who had a deep enmity with William, the estates of the nobles who were unwilling to cooperate with the Hereford family, and other royal possessions, estates, palaces, villas, castles...... It was all to be taken over, and then the commercial and industrial parts were merged into the Hereford General Company. The agricultural part was integrated into the royal estates for unified management.

In addition to these things that can be annexed, those who can't be annexed are not left alone - those who have been in contact with William before, who are ready to join the Hereford family, are well-behaved and obedient enough, and at the same time have some power to help the Hereford family stabilize the order of Shilonsk...... All in all, many of these guys were lucky enough to survive and join the Hereford family safely.

But...... This addition is not what they thought. Gone are the days when feudal aristocrats swore allegiance and then owned everything in their territory and formed an independent kingdom pattern.

Merchants and factory owners were subject to stricter management. Whether it's the machines, the workers, or the companies, the caravans, or the factories themselves, they all need to be vetted before a license is issued. Its industrial and machine standards must be aligned with the machine parts currently used by the Hereford family, and the standards and models of the steam engine. In addition to this, various taxes were levied according to the size and profitability of their factories, companies and caravans.

For merchants and factory owners, this model was barely acceptable. Well, yes, that's acceptable. After all, even in the Trieste dynasty, merchants and factory owners were not respectable professions. They have become accustomed to all kinds of reasonable and unreasonable oppression. It feels like no matter how unserious the Hereford family is, their life will not be worse than before.

Of course, a small number of businessmen and factory owners still have a little hope. Compared to the Trieste dynasty, the new Hereford family appeared to be more enlightened and more mindful of the development of industry and commerce. Or maybe their lives will be better next...... Of course, their hopes are very, very small, and the reason why they are so small is that they don't want to be too sad when their hopes are dashed.

They've seen too much, so-called support, so-called enlightened things. All these lies are just for the nobles to exploit them better, to either rob or cheat money from them.

The aristocratic landlords were more unhappy than the merchants and factory owners, who could no longer turn their fiefdoms into independent kingdoms, as they had in feudal times, and the nobles were most unhappy that the Hereford family was going to impose a series of policies on them, including taxes.

William would be taxed according to their estates and the production of their land...... At the same time, other officials appointed by the central government will be housed in their territory. These include an Ombudsman, a Tax Collector, an Administrative Officer and their civil servants. At the same time, there are roving judges and police officers to administer local laws.

These officials would divide the administrative and tax powers in the hands of the aristocracy, and the itinerant judges and police would divide the judicial and law enforcement powers in the hands of the nobles. It's no wonder that the nobles are unhappy with these things......

But that's just the beginning. What William wanted to do was to assign all the power of these nobles to the central government, and what William wanted was a large centralized empire that completely implemented the county system and broke the feudal system. In the future, he will continue to oppress these nobles, obtain more land from them, and continue to expand the territory of Shilonsk. Then, following the example of the Han dynasty with feudal princes, he would send court ministers to these princes - at the end of the Han dynasty, the princes had lost almost all power in their domains, and the central government could appoint ministers as if they were county governors. That's what William wanted to achieve.

"Of course, there's something else after that. William thought to himself: "The postal system and the railway system will be the two major weapons of the centralized power of the empire." These systems, in which the central government appoints and commands in a unified manner, will minimize the possibility of local feudal separation.

In addition to this, William had to gradually establish a central bank, a public school education system, and even a unified reserve system. William will do everything in his power to unite all the territory of the Hereford family into one true nation. He will never allow any form of division to continue.

In the end, William will re-unify the administrative division of the entire empire. Build a whole new country. By that time, he will not have the kingdom of Russia, the kingdom of Wende and the kingdom of Polotsk, three separate and independent states. He will have a great empire of independence and unity -- this is very, very, very important.

William would not allow his country, like the Austro-Hungarian Empire before it, to fall apart because it was unable to transform the feudal family empire into a modern nation-state. William never wanted to see that.

Fortunately for the Habsburgs, the land under the control of the Hereford family had enough subject peoples. The Goths were outnumbered enough that the Slavits, the second largest people, and some other nomadic barbarians, were overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of the Goths. There is a Juche nation, and this is the best news for William......

Of course, even the same Goths are different. It's as if in the world where William originally lived, in the dark morale of the Middle Ages, the Germanic barbarians took over almost all of Europe - the English Anglos, the Saxony was the Germanic barbarians, the Franks who occupied France were the Germanic barbarians, the Goths who occupied Spain and Italy were the Germanic barbarians. The Danes, the Varangians, were Germanic barbarians, who went to Russia and conquered the Slavs, and were still Germanic barbarians.

The Germanic barbarians of these various tribes conquered almost the entire European continent in the east and west, and conquered almost the entire European continent in the north and south. But after a few hundred years, these Germanic barbarians no longer recognized themselves as Germanic barbarians. They either merged with the conquered natives of the region, or they evolved their own cultures. All in all, it became an independent nation. After a few hundred years, no one will recognize who is a family. If there is any conflict of interest, the human brain will still beat the dog's brain.

William's situation is not bad...... Nowadays, Wende, Polotsk and Russia, these lands together have a unified name, that is, the Great Border Region. These people can be collectively called frontier people. Although there are various divisions within these border residents, small circles are divided within circles, and small circles are divided into small circles. But William didn't think it mattered. You can do it yourself.

Of course, it all takes time, William said to himself: he can't rush it, and sometimes he even has to take a step back in order to take two steps forward. He needs a little detour, and he needs a little detour and containment with the nobles under his rule. After all, the current situation is too bad, and William wants to maintain the stability of the Hereford Empire.

But luckily, William is young, well, yes, William is very young. William had plenty of time to get through. As long as William doesn't die, then he will have time to regulate the entire region for the next few decades.

"That's pretty much it. In addition to the intense and busy work, William imagined the future for a while, only to feel that the future was quite bright, and his future was smooth...... Then he turned his head to look beside him, and saw his aunt Freya standing beside him, smiling at him.

For a moment, William felt a little strange and a little disobedient...... But on second thought, this seems to be no problem - the whole kingdom of Wende has just been pacified, and there is quite a lot to do, even King Otto, who is not very proficient in political affairs, is very busy. Originally, in this position, Elise and Charlumie, who were next to William, each had a thing to do, and they didn't have much effort. So......

"So I still think it's very disagreeable. William thought to himself, and at the same time did his best to banish the strange thoughts from his mind—though he said—but—forget it, when I didn't say anything.

After all, aside from these disobedience, the Duchess Freya's work ability and efficiency are still very commendable. Just a little adaptation, you can keep up with William's pace. I helped William a lot, so since the other party didn't even say anything, then it didn't matter, and all this sense of disobedience was thrown into outer space. That's it.

......

It was at a time when the Hereford family suspended their military affairs and began to shrink their positions to deal with internal affairs, that the atmosphere of war within the empire intensified, and after more than a month of confrontation, Prince Henry of Franconia finally got too tired and decided to hold a war with Kalman IV - mainly because there were signs of instability in his back.

The Franconian army was not as large as that of Kalman IV. Therefore, when this Prince Henry went on the expedition, he was eager to bring all the palace guards with him. This led to a great emptiness in Franconia. Under these circumstances, the Duke of Bern, who was behind Franconia, finally made a decision - a total of more than 3,000 Bernese mountain infantry rushed over the mountains from the western road towards Franconia. I saw that I was about to kill.
