Chapter 70: Future Plans
After Queen Riches successfully ascended the throne, Ouyang Yu stayed in the new royal capital for nearly half a year, intimidating, assassinating, luring, and dividing all kinds of means, getting rid of many secretly dissatisfied nobles, and completely helping Riches consolidate her throne.
The Military Intelligence Department under her direct command has also swelled dramatically, recruiting a large number of "capable people with lofty ideals" in the civilian population, including thugs who are good at stealing chickens and dogs and being good at inquiring about all kinds of news, jailers who have been torturing prisoners in prisons all their lives and know how to pry open people's mouths, professional swindlers who specialize in defrauding people of money, actors who pretend to be like anything, killers who are proficient in assassination, mercenaries who specialize in protecting businessmen, etc., so that the business level of the Military Intelligence Department has skyrocketed, and the business level of the Military Intelligence Department has skyrocketed. Fighting sticks and other means are proficient, and it has also become a lingering nightmare for various nobles.
Once Duke Simon secretly invited six important ministers including the Minister of Administration of the Kingdom, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of War to gather in the secret room of his mansion to discuss anything to deal with Ouyang Yu, these six ministers secretly entered Duke Simon's mansion in disguise, and left after discussing for more than two hours, but they didn't expect that their every move was watched, and an hour later, Ouyang Yu got the minutes of the meeting of Duke Simon and other seven people.
The next day, Ouyang Yu called Duke Simon and the other seven people to her office, and took out a few pieces of parchment to show them, which not only recorded all the words of the seven of them, but also drew what drinks and furniture in the secret room where the seven of them were sitting at that time.
Ouyang Yu didn't punish them, after all, after killing all the people, who would help Ryches govern the country, she loudly scolded Duke Simon and the seven people, asking them to put their minds where they should be used, and then asked them to get out, and after a period of time, they found a person who lowered the titles of the seven people by one level but retained their positions, Duke Simon and the others knew that this was the punishment, and they all didn't dare to say anything and honestly accepted the punishment.
I don't know when Lu Dao began, the nobles privately called Ouyang Yu the Shadow Queen, because all the decrees came from her, but Queen Riches, who should really be in charge, would only enjoy the flowers, listen to the opera and chat with the ladies in the salon every day.
In the past six months, Ouyang Yu relied on his own deterrence to eliminate a large number of superficial aristocratic officials, recruited and promoted many talented civilian officials, vigorously rectified the army, and the people who were installed by the nobles were either kicked out of the country or specially designed for civilian positions, and also promoted many officers and soldiers from civilian backgrounds, checked and re-measured the fields, tried unjust, false and wrongful cases, set tax rates, and carried out a small number of reforms, and cooperated with the Temple of the Ancestors to carry out enlightenment education in places with conditions across the country, to make them think that only the king is the only object of their allegiance from now on, not their lord, and then influence their parents through small children, and slowly make all commoners become staunch supporters of the royal family.
The nobles naturally dared to be angry and did not dare to speak out against her decrees, for this situation, Ouyang Yu had already seen it, she issued a new decree, the test law, if every official can not complete his work in the month on time and with good quality, then he will be punished, a light reduction or no salary for the month, a heavier demotion, and a heavier one will be expelled and don't want to be an official again in this life, if someone doesn't do anything for a month? I'm sorry, but you committed the crime of dereliction of duty, and you will be expelled and jailed.
As soon as the test law came out, the aristocratic officials complained bitterly, the civilian officials were ecstatic, the aristocratic officials basically don't do things at ordinary times, and some things are called to civilian officials to do, and if they don't do what they want, they will be scolded at the least, and they will be punched and kicked, and now it's okay, the nobles will soon be kicked out, and their official positions will be ours.
If you want to cheat? Impossible, the assessment of the test method is carried out by the people of the Military Intelligence Department, loyal to the queen, no, it should be loyal to Ouyang Yu, it is impossible for them to show mercy to the nobles, and a large number of aristocratic officials were kicked out of the army in this way.
Just when Ouyang Yu was complaining in the aristocratic circle of the entire Kadesh Kingdom, her prestige among the commoners was rising step by step, re-measuring the land, promoting civilian officials, formulating new tax rates, and adjudicating unjust, false and wrongful cases, the biggest beneficiary was the commoners who had been oppressed by the nobles, and many commoners also hung Ouyang Yu's portraits in addition to the statues of their ancestors.
Ouyang Yu has done so many things, in addition to stabilizing Riches's power, he also has an ulterior idea, that is, to hold the Kadesh Kingdom tightly in his hands and become a constant source of wealth for her.
She has already chosen the place to settle in Cemetery City, which is the Carlos Cemetery in Carlos County, which is full of undead creatures, and it is the best place to place Cemetery City.
Guessing from the request for the unsealing of the treasure, the resources required for the buildings in the cemetery city must be an astronomical amount, and it is difficult for her to collect enough resources alone, and the country is different, the wealth owned by the country is incomparable to that of an individual, control a country and run it well, although the kingdom of Kadesh is only a medium-sized country, but it is also much better than collecting it by yourself, as long as an order is given, countless people will fight for this order.
Ouyang Yu wants to completely control the Kadesh Kingdom, the biggest obstacle is the nobles of this country, the nobles under the feudal system have huge rights in their own territory, almost the same as the king, so Ouyang Yu wants to slowly transform the Kadesh Kingdom from a feudal system to a centralized system, and turn the noble title into an honorary title with an empty title but no real power, enlightenment education and promotion of civilian officials is her first step.
In the past half a year, the nobles of the Kadesh Kingdom have lost their temper by Ouyang Yu, and they are all standing up and pretending to be dogs with tails, but secretly they are preparing to turn against her, Ouyang Yu knows all about this, but he didn't pay attention to it, the Kadesh Kingdom has just gone through a civil war and needs to be born and rested, and the people's anti-war will is strong, no matter who dares to take the lead in provoking a war, they will stand on the opposite side of the people, Ouyang Yu does not dare, the nobles do not dare, and the three major legions of the kingdom are not trained and thoroughly mastered, enlightenment education has just begun, and everything needs time to brew, so Ouyang Yu left the royal capital after arranging, a man made a low-key trip to Carlos County.
In ancient times, orcs and elves stood at the top of the biological chain, one with a strong body and a super destructive fighting spirit, the other with agile speed and powerful magic, and a human who knew nothing was just a slave of both races.
Unwilling to be slaves for generations, humans continue to revolt, and humans who do not know how to fight magic fight against powerful enemies with rudimentary weapons and not strong bodies, but each uprising is brutal, Bloody suppression, human beings paid a huge price and could not break free from the enslavement of orcs and elves, in the face of endless resistance of human beings, orcs and elves made the decision to exterminate human beings, one human tribe after another was ruthlessly wiped out, all human beings spontaneously gathered together to resist the killing of the two races, but it was still not an opponent, the army composed of human beings, vulnerable in the face of fighting spirit and magic, just when the ancestors came in despair.
He was moved by the spirit of human beings fighting for freedom, and sent his messenger to treat the scarred soldiers and blessed the soldiers with divine magic, so that the human soldiers greatly increased their combat power and temporarily repelled the attack of the two races, and then the ancestors taught humans to use fighting energy and magic, although human fighting spirit can not compare to orcs, magic can not compare to elves, but the human beings who have mastered these two kinds of power have burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and under the blessing of the ancestral messenger's divine art, the Jedi counterattack, and the orcs and elves who fought were defeated and retreated.
Unwilling to lose, the two races sent their strongest army and the human army to fight a decisive battle, this battle between the two sides invested tens of millions of troops, has been fighting for seven days and seven nights, the last ended in the tragic victory of the human race, millions of lives sleep on the battlefield, the mortal orcs and elves had to give up their homeland, one deep into the northwest of the continent of the grassland to survive, the other into the southwest of the continent in the endless forest to survive, human beings have since gained dominance.
The battlefield of the decisive battle between the two sides is directly west of Carlos County, where nearly eight million warriors on both sides have fallen, and they are unwilling to die after death and become undead wandering the battlefield, and the death qi produced by the huge number of undead has cursed the entire battlefield and a large area of land nearby, turning into a gray paradise of the undead.
