After entering the year 3282 of the Dawn calendar, Haaland is still accelerating his migration.

The first is the migration of the people of the province of Rex.

Rex Province has only 280,000 square kilometers of land and 12 million people. The population density almost exceeds that of the two major provinces of Central China and Heihe.

The two major provinces of Central and Heihe had a large number of factories, and industry had developed to a certain extent, and a considerable number of freedmen lived in the towns.

The cities of Fort William, Fort Blackriver, Fort Wright, Fort Salt Lake, and Fort Malte are highly populated, and the level of urbanization in these two provinces has reached the level of 35 percent.

In the province of Rex, there is basically no industry, and a large number of people are distributed in the countryside.

Although the province of Rex is less mountainous and mostly fertile and easy to cultivate along the coastal plains, the United Kingdom of the East Coast has cultivated more than 80 million acres of land over the years, with an average of seven acres per person.

But the land is not equally divided.

The vast majority of the land in the province of Rex was in the hands of hereditary nobles, and although Harland led the invasion of Kanas Castle and abolished the lordship of the East Coast Kingdom, he also accepted some native nobles.

This part of the native aristocracy was basically sealed in the border area of the Sith Kingdom, and about six million acres of arable land in the province of Rex were controlled by the traditional aristocracy.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of squires in the province of Ricks, these people are the descendants of hereditary nobles, the local landlord class, and the local powerful faction, after Richard occupied the province of Ricks, he did not encroach on their interests, and they controlled more than 14 million acres of land.

The official land that really belongs to Haaland's territory is about 60 million mu, and the serfs under his command are roughly more than 9 million people.

Richard occupied the province of Rex and did not immediately enforce the Harland Decree. At that time, in order to ensure the stability of the occupied area and avoid offending the interests of the local aristocratic gentry, Richard adopted the original decree of the East Coast.

It was not until the Kingdom of Grant signed a peace treaty with Lane and DeLong, Richard succeeded in becoming king, and the external environment had stabilized, that Richard gradually promoted the New Deal and promulgated the Emancipation Decree.

The decree of pardoning serfs as freemen was the foundation and core of the great policy of the Kingdom of Harland, and in fact there were opponents from the beginning.

This decree violated the interests of the fiefdom aristocracy, and if it was in a force that had already formed a division of interests, it would inevitably attract opposition from top to bottom, and it could not be implemented at all.

On the contrary, it was Richard who drew on a blank piece of paper and established a different social order, and this law was successfully implemented.

When Richard first began to lead the army, he was outnumbered, and in order to win over the serfs, Richard issued this decree, and the people of insight under his command did not dissuade him because of the persecution of the situation. The opponents of this decree in that period were mainly external enemies.

In order to avoid provoking external enemies, Richard co-opted the nearby nobles and ceded some of his commercial interests, while strictly ordering the army to seal the border and send back fugitive slaves to avoid affecting outsiders.

At that time, there were hereditary nobles nearby, ready to join forces to deal with Richard, but due to the threat of the orcs, Richard needed to lead the noble alliance to resist the orcs.

This process lasted about thirteen years, and when Richard was promoted to hereditary earldom, the Haraland family became a great nobleman and began to divide the heroes. The opponents of the emancipation of serfs became the internal aristocracy, led by Richard's father William, uncle Soros and a group of others.

At that time, Richard had already established prestige in the army, and his prestige in the territory far exceeded that of his father.

Despite the large number of internal opponents and the severe pressure, Richard pushed hard and neither William nor Soros could change his resolve.

In order to establish his prestige, Richard took advantage of the problem and severely dealt with the son of the third uncle Bernie, and relied on this ruthlessness to suppress the opposition of the territory.

In the next seventeen years, Haaland developed faster and faster, promoted from earl to duke, and then Richard succeeded in becoming king, and his prestige was already in full swing, although there were still many opponents inside, but he could not shake Richard's determination.

In fact, in recent years, the nobles canonized by Richard have been divided a lot, such as Wendy, Jennings, Odaye, and Immorton, all of whom copied the emancipation decree in their territories. The rest of the traditional aristocracy carried out their own customized decrees.

In fact, in recent years, in the Kingdom of Haaland, serfs of hereditary nobles have fled to the royal territories every year. A few years ago, Richard also asked the security forces to cooperate, either to send back fugitive slaves, or to pay for fugitives. But after Richard became king, Rogge had already issued an order to the government not to return the fugitives.

Because of this decree, many hereditary nobles have recently impeached and criticized Rogge at the aristocratic parliament, demanding that Richard remove the prime minister.

The political system of the Kingdom of Haaland is seriously different from that of the Kingdom of Grant, and the status of the hereditary nobility is not as important as that of the Kingdom of Grant.

In the kingdom of Grant, the royal family controlled only one-third of the power. The remaining third are the large aristocracy, and a third are the small and medium-sized aristocracy. The royal family has no dominant force, of course, with the help of the noble council, which naturally has a very heavy authority. What the Council of Nobles decides, even the Kingdom of Roger can only implement.

In the Haaland Kingdom, because of the relationship between the founding of the country, the authority of the king is the heaviest, and the number of hereditary nobles is small, with a total of more than 70 nobles, and only three big nobles.

Sutton, the highest and most powerful of knighthoods, thought like an elf, voluntarily renounced his secular territory, and the elves only wanted to live near the tree of life, and he and Sylph did not object to Richard's decision to free the serfs.

With only the two counts of Rohmon and Soros left, they can't shake Richard's authority at all. Moreover, after 30 years, Soros and Rohmon greatly admired Richard's eloquence, and they were promoted to the great aristocracy by relying on Richard's support.

Because Haaland led the development of industry, Soros and Rohmon also made a lot of money following the general trend, which has far exceeded the exploitation of serfs to grow food, and the two counts no longer rely on agricultural accumulation for finance, so they will not come forward to oppose the implementation of the emancipation decree.

Last year, Rogge communicated with them in a letter, and the two were already aware of the change in the policy of Haraland's territory, and they had begun to implement the decree of amnesty for serfs like Wendy and Odaye's territory.

The most important point is that Haaland has 270,000 soldiers directly under the central government, while the aristocratic coalition army has only 30,000 soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides is fundamentally different.

The Kingdom of Grant was a feudal kingdom of the nobility, while the Kingdom of Harland was a centralized kingdom. Richard's authority was far greater than that of King Roger.

After Richard implemented the edict of emancipation of serfs in Rex Province, he was a little excited for a while, and the nobles on the border began to submit letters of surrender to the Sith Kingdom, wanting to surrender the territory and become vassals of the Sith Kingdom.

Although the Sith Kingdom was greedy for small gains, it did not dare to provoke the prestigious Halander Kingdom.

In the last twenty years of fighting, Richard has made a name for himself in the eastern kingdoms of the Dawn Plane, whether it is a legendary dragon or an orc army, ogres or undead, all of them have been defeated at the hands of Richard.

The East Coast, Delong, and Lane three countries, with an army of nearly 1.5 million, set off Richard's brilliant military exploits.

Although the Sith Kingdom wanted to expand its territory, it was reluctant to send troops to the north. The kingdom of Palamé in the south is the headquarters of the Dawn Church, and it is even more unprovoked, and the Sith kingdom has already focused on the Mayan kingdom in the west.

After the court consulted, the Sith Kingdom instead sent messengers demanding a peace pact with Richard, as well as letters from the rebellious nobles.

Richard was not a war maniac, and after analyzing the pros and cons, he decided not to start a war for a short time.

Foreign Minister Hornason personally stepped in and signed a 30-year peace pact with the Sith Kingdom on the condition that the market was opened. Due to Richard's promotion to a legendary magician, the royal power contract can no longer limit Richard, and at the request of the Sith Kingdom, the Kingdom of Harland can only use the signature of the prince Philip.

Philip was twenty-one years old, had just been promoted to a third-order professional, he had been married to King Roger's daughter Vivien for three years, and had already given birth to two grandchildren for Richard. New members of the royal family have been added, elders such as Richard and Sophia have finally let go of their worries, and the Haaland family has a successor.

The eldest daughter, Margaret, is twenty-five years old and has been promoted to the six-ring magician for a year and a half. Margaret is one in a million of the top magical qualifications, and with the support of a pair of legendary magician mothers, according to her current promotion rate, she can try to advance to the legendary realm before the age of forty.

Although her professional level is not high, she has used two treasures, the Water of Life and the Legendary Styx Elixir, and her spiritual power has reached thirty-two points, which is very close to the weakest Nine-Ring Magician.

Margaret, like her aunt Wendy, is very fond of magic and does not like to fall in love and get married. Richard introduced several up-and-comers in the territory to his daughter, but Margaret didn't feel anything and was reluctant to agree.

Richard and Sophia were more open-minded, seeing that their daughter was unwilling to fall in love and get married, they did not force her to follow the requirements of the world, anyway, depending on Margaret's meaning, they were equally happy not to get married and not to fall in love.

After signing a peace pact with the Sith Kingdom, Richard directly disposed of the rebellious nobles and took back the fief. There were 40,000 garrisons in the province of Ricks, and although the local nobles and squires were not satisfied, they did not dare to provoke a rebellion.

The aristocracy knew the situation much better than the serfs, and although Richard violated their interests by implementing the edict of emancipation of the serfs, they did not dare to rebel easily without the help of external enemies.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the emancipation of serfs, Richard had been in charge of the province of Rex during this time. With him, a famous general on the mainland, the situation in Rex Province is also very stable.

In the year 3282, Richard began to increase his immigration, and a large number of serfs in the province of Rex began to migrate to the east coast. There are two major provinces in Priland.

At the same time, funds from Heihe and the Central Province also began to enter the Rex Province.

Spring in the province of Rex is very charming.

Seen from both sides of the Mayan River, tall and straight pine trees, crystal clear water, dense irrigation canals, well-planned rice paddies, and rising cooking smoke all speak of the wealth on both sides of the Mayan River.

From the point of view of agricultural conditions, except for frequent typhoons in summer and autumn, the province of Rex is a little richer than both sides of the Heihe River, otherwise it would not be possible to raise a population of more than 12 million. From the perspective of geographical conditions and climatic conditions, this area is a few points similar to Richard in his previous life, Jiangsu.

A steamer sails on the Mayan River, and the passengers on board are immigrants from Haaland.

The immigration policy of the Kingdom of Harland not only relocated the surplus population of Rex Province to the east coast, but also the Priland region from the mainland to Rex Province to the grassroots bureaucrats, school teachers, skilled workers, and so on.

In the past two years, the ships of the Haaland Kingdom have been active in the coastline, and the magic ships have begun to hunt marine monsters in coastal areas on a large scale, and the number of coastal monsters has decreased a lot, and the difficulty of offshore navigation has been reduced by a few points. Even the steamships of the Haaland Collar began to sail in the offshore area without the protection of the magic ship.

Because a large number of steel plates are used on the bottom of the steam passenger ship, the weight of the ship is very heavy, although a powerful steam engine is installed, and there are sails to assist navigation, but the speed of this steam passenger ship is not fast.

Especially after entering the inland river, it looks stable.

Odaye came out of the first class, ready to enjoy the scenery along the river.

The first class is for the aristocracy, with two rooms in total, with an area of more than 60 square meters, and there are relatively expensive red wines available. Of course, the cabin conditions are good, and the ticket is naturally very expensive, thirty gold coins a piece, even if ordinary people have money and social status is not enough, they cannot enter the first-class cabin.

Each passenger ship also has only three first-class cabins, which are basically on the top deck of the steam passenger ship.

Odaye was already a hereditary nobleman with very strong capital, and of course he could fly in the first class. I saw him get down from the first class, and the passengers on the deck got out of the way and gave up the best viewing position to Odaye.

Although the kingdom of Harland issued a series of decrees such as the Emancipation of Serfs, the Decree of Equality of Laws, the Patent Decree, etc., these decrees were strictly enforced under Richard's attention.

But the reality is clear that there are many differences between nobles and commoners.

In the real social environment, the aristocracy was not equal to most commoners.

Standing on the side of the ship, Odaye turned his head to see an old man in his fifties, graying hair, still standing tall, and looking like he had been trained in the army. There seemed to be a look of astonishment on his face.

"You are?

I'm sorry I forgot your name, but I was impressed by your face, and I think you should be a veteran of the 1st Squadron. ”

After years of training in the mall, Odaye is very good at dealing with people, and when he met an acquaintance on the boat, he immediately took a step and took the initiative to hold the old man's hand and ask questions.

The white-haired old man shook Odaye's hand, and his heart suddenly became a little excited. After all, a hereditary nobleman knew him, which made him feel especially honored among his relatives and friends.

"My name is Behrens, I joined the army in 3254 in the Dawn calendar, and I was assigned to the first squadron, is your name Odaye, I think we have experienced the war of the orc invasion together."
