In this way, William wants to inject new potions into the beast, and these potions are thoughts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Loyal and patriotic, everyone knows this word, but there are very few who can really do it. At least in this materialistic, decadent and depraved era.

But at least for now, it can be saved, at least for now, because humanity has not yet developed to that extent - that is, in the context of two world wars, the Cold War, and the possibility of the destruction of the world at any time, humanity has not produced anti-intellectualism, has not produced the Beat Generation, and there is no postmodern neurosis such as dark gothic degenerate literature.

Therefore, people in this era are more influenced by enlightenment thought, humanism, patriotism, nationalism and other isms.

Human beings in this era are energetic, idealistic, and enthusiastic. Therefore, there is salvation in this era, and it is a great salvation.

"I'm glad I was born in this era. If it were the 21st century, I would have to find a way to start a company. What a ......," William thought to himself. At the same time, I can't help but have a sense of mission and responsibility.

He felt that he had a mission and a responsibility to curb capitalism, money worship and hedonism before they completely destroyed all of humanity. Otherwise, the future of humanity will be very bleak.

William worked very hard day by day to self-suggest and self-encourage, so that he could devote himself energetically to various activities and work......

That's it, twenty thousand. The army can get 20,000 refugees. Tens of thousands of other troops need to be recruited from the civilian population.

William was very pleased to see that with his efforts, the popular prestige and image of the Praetorian Guard troops had been strengthened to a certain extent.

Even the most uninformed peasants have now figured out that the Praetorian Guard soldiers are not Qiuba in the traditional sense of the word, and they are not concentration camps for criminals, idle hooligans and villains.

Although they have not yet been able to associate the military with the defense of the country, with honor and responsibility, and with the idea of a military and civilian family, at least this is a good start.

The same is true of the more radical thinkers, especially the younger ones, who have been somewhat brainwashed by William.

Many of these guys were inspired by William's spirit, and at the same time made the invincible human god of war their idol and ruler. These people embraced what William called nationalism, and at the same time were willing to contribute to the great revival of the Gothic nation.

They believed in nationalism, in nationalism, in power, in iron and blood to solve the problems of the day, and in Wilhelm von Hereford as their ruler.

They believed that William said that the Gothic youth of today have a special historical mission and responsibility. They believe that they are special, different, people chosen by the Lord of Radiance.

These people joined the Praetorian Guard as quickly as they could when the Imperial Praetorian Guard was expanded. Then, the fanaticism of these people was quickly noticed by William. The best of these people will quickly join the military academy.

Among them, those who excel in military theory will become Imperial officers. And those with mediocre qualifications are not without their positions.

The political and war officers were prepared for those who were knowledgeable in theory and who were fanatical believers in William. They will propagate any theories that William expects them to propagate in the Imperial Army, to convince the soldiers, or to put it mildly, to brainwash them, and to stir up their fanaticism and courage.

These men will form a special part of the army, along with the chaplains that William had recruited before. These men would inject soul into William's army.

Of course, the sad thing is that William is currently able to recruit very few officers and young men like this. After all, the current literacy rate in the Empire is a little-no, I should say very bad. At the same time, William's brainwashing time is not very much. What's worse is that he doesn't have a super planner, a good player like Dr. Goebbels, to make him the hottest, hottest and most popular star in the world.

In this case, William can only take his time, one step at a time.

He opened more newspapers, and bribed more literati to propagate and sing praises for him—of course, in addition to holding the five marks, there were indeed many people who were really inspired by William's spirit and promoted for him.

After all, in this era, the doctrines and ideas propagated by William are indeed considered correct by many people in a situation of fragmentation and chaos.

Of course, everything needs to be cultivated and work hard. At least William felt that in his lifetime, being able to play the Little Overlord learning machine would be considered a victory.

That's it. Tens of thousands of militarists, who were guided by various ideas and even fanatically admired William, entered the army, which was very conducive to shaping the army into a model that was more suitable for William to play and more pleasant for William.

And after removing the strongest and most elite one-tenth of the young and middle-aged people, there are still 180,000 able-bodied refugees, and they can barely send other ministers and regional governors.

In these refugee distributions, William set the tone like this.

The first is railway workers. The three-horizontal and five-vertical railway network is William's basic national policy, and it is also the most important point in developing and stimulating the economy at present.

It is completely different from the private railways built by the capitalists in other countries, of different styles and widths. As soon as William came up, he identified the state-run railway, and completely put this transportation machine in the hands of the state, so that it could play its maximum role and become one of the energy sources of the empire. And not the profit-making tools of those private consortia.

For William, this was important.

No, it should be said, very important, very, very, very important.

In this way, the empire is a state that controls capital, not a country that is controlled by capital. It's comforting to think about.

That's it. William put the dispute to rest, and then went on to enact two new state policies, both aimed at increasing the population. One of them is that before this, there have been sporadic but fragmented policies, that is, to encourage childbearing.

This time, William specifically made the encouragement of childbirth a basic state policy in the form of law. He demanded that every family have at least two children. If the number of children is high, then the government will give incentives and childcare subsidies to make it easier for parents to raise more children.

At the same time, William also slightly adjusted this policy. He encouraged the birth of girls more than boys, and the amount of subsidies was 40 percent more than that of boys.

This is mainly because the folk ideology still prefers to have men, believing that men are the heirs of the family, and the status of women is much lower than that of men. It is precisely for this reason that if the policy of encouraging childbirth is simply implemented without giving additional subsidies to women, then after a certain period of time, the empire will face the problem of gender imbalance, and then it may face a lot of messy things, such as an increase in the crime rate of beeping, and the country will become more unstable.

This policy is also to prevent problems before they occur.

In fact, this policy is not original to William, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the Yue King Goujian was lying on his salary and tasting courage, he also implemented a policy of rewarding childbirth. It is not only a reward for childbirth, but even a forced birth. That is, if you do not marry after the legal age of marriage, the government will enforce the marriage policy.

This policy of encouraging and forcing births has allowed Vietnam to recover its manpower on the brink of destruction. Finally, the last generation of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period was born.

In this policy to encourage childbirth, it is clearly stipulated that the reward for giving birth to women is higher than that for giving birth to men.

Another explanation, of course, is that they believe that a woman can have more children in the future. If you give birth to one a year, then a woman can give birth to dozens of people during the period from the maturity of the beep to the loss of the beep function.

Under this premise, the reward for giving birth to a woman should naturally be better than that for a man.

But in any case, William's policy of encouraging fertility has been passed on, and millions of square kilometers of land need more people. William felt that the population of the empire could be raised to 100 million. With the chemical industry growing dramatically, new crops, and fertilizers being produced in large quantities, the empire was able to feed a population of about 200 million.

If, in the end, the empire really unified the entire Gothic world, then the population of the empire could exceed 500 million, and the maximum could reach 1.5 billion or even 2 billion.

Among these people, there will be a large number of scientific researchers, workers, farmers, soldiers, businessmen, scholars, and others who are beneficial to the development of the world and society. William will take over the whole world with such a group of goths.

Of course, having said that, but in fact, William's understanding of the world is still somewhat ......

Insufficient.

In the previous life, the great geographical discoveries had been completely completed, and the entire world had been basically surveyed by humans. But in this day and age it's different. Although new shipping routes and new continents have been discovered and opened up, at the same time, information about the Far East is still vague and somewhat legendary.

This is mainly about the kingdom of dragons. Whether this powerful country standing in the East really exists is still debated.

There are countless navigators and adventurers who swear that they have reached that powerful country. And those fine silk, porcelain, tea, rhubarb and other trade goods also prove the strength and civilization of that country.

But at the same time, almost no one can add this country to the globe.

Neither the best geographers, navigators, nor surveyors could do the job.

They can't accurately measure the coastline, they can't add the continent or the country to the globe or map. They were also unsure if there was a land route to get there.

In fact, in the process, William tried hard.

Before that, he had said one thing, that is, all the porcelain he produced came from the Dragon Country, so as to increase the value of the porcelain he produced, so that it could be sold at a good price.

It's just that at the same time, William also really, practically wants to open up a trade route to the Dragon Nation. Because the goods produced there, at least for now, were irreplaceable for William.

The inability to obtain enough trade goods from the seafaring trade, and the exploitation of hyena-like middlemen, made William very unhappy.

Therefore, if a new trade route to the Far East, the Dragon Country, can be opened, even if this trade route is overland and does not have much carrying capacity, William will feel very safe and comfortable.

It's just a pity that this wish of his has never been realized.

The east of his land is now devoid of any enemies. In this case, it stands to reason that as long as enough expeditions are dispatched, plus enough bounty and army escorts, they can go east from the steppes to the Far East, and then enter the Dragon Realm.

But this is just "reasonable". If everything in the world could be "rightly said", then things would be simple.

The reality of what happened to William was that he had climbed over the Ural Mountains, then over the vast permafrost, the great Siberian wilderness, the swamps, the vast primeval forests, and then ...... to the south

To the east of the Cuman-Kipchak steppes was a Uzbek khanate, which was at the height of its power, and they had little interest in the Cuman-Kipchak steppes, because they were all wilderness where birds don't poop, and their enemies were the Zoroastrians of the Zoroastrian Empire.

According to adventurers, to the east of the Uzbek Khanate, to the south of the Great Siberian Wilderness, is a vast expanse of Gobi desert and desert. There was not a single sign of life. They were ill-prepared and had no way to traverse the area. And according to their observations, there are no traces of human activity in this area.

William's expedition to the Far East came to an abrupt end.

At the same time, this adventure gave the Empire a rough idea of the extent of their current territory.

Through mapping, the Ural Mountains and large swaths of permafrost in Siberia were under control, and if possible, the Uzbek Khanate was theoretically within William's strategy.

By swallowing up these lands, which had no people and no value, the empire had already surpassed the Russian Empire of the previous world...... Of course, most of this land is uninhabitable and undeveloped. So these territories are just "theoretical territories".

There was no production, no taxes, and no use other than to look better on the map.
