King

To formulate a development plan, you must first understand the local situation. If you don’t know the situation, you will naturally have no say.

The promised territory development meeting will inevitably turn into a special show for the people in charge from each place.

All of our development plans can be summed up in two words - conservative.

Almost all plans are satisfactory. Those who grow potatoes grow potatoes, and those who grow rye grow rye. They are almost all digging in the ground to eat.

Even if livestock breeding is proposed, it is only to meet the needs of cultivated land and also to meet the meat needs of the people in the territory.

Those who have some economic sense only propose to grow their own flax. This stuff is very popular, flax seeds are used to refine vegetable oil, and flax stalks can be spun into silk to weave cloth.

Economic development is an issue that cities only need to consider. It is enough for rural towns to carry out agricultural production, and at most they can repair and maintain roads.

The development plans of the only two cities, or rather three cities, are quite conservative. Copying a law from a neighbor and strictly implementing it is considered a measure.

Everything is standard, nothing out of the ordinary. I can't find any bright spots, nor can I find any major faults.

Without experience in urban governance, your best bet is to copy your neighbor’s. If we want to develop, we will develop together, and if we want to fail, we will fail together. As long as we reach the same level, we will not fall behind.

Hudson did not rush to comment on the content of the law. These are the governance experiences summed up by good neighbors. Perhaps behind the seemingly bizarre law, there is an even stranger story.

Copying it may not necessarily lead to outstanding results, but at least it can ensure that the territory will not be messed up.

Rather than establishing a new political system, Hudson preferred to improve the original political system.

"Earl, this is the compiled territory development plan, please take a look at it!"

While talking, Kane had already handed over the compiled documents. What was placed on the homepage was the "Draft Three-Year Plan for Territory Development."

If the time cycle can be extended by three years, it will obviously not be an enclave. From the moment it is determined to change the land, the requirements for the development of the enclave are: to see benefits quickly, and stability is paramount.

There is no reform. After the territory replacement deal is reached, there will be a big move. All the original social structures have been disrupted, and everything has to start from scratch.

Running to carry out reforms at this moment is just a waste of administrative resources.

If it weren't for the fact that the people in the territory were basically all serfs and there weren't many free people, a relocation of this scale would definitely cause a big mess.

The three-year plan is very simple. It is recorded on just one page, which means there will be no specific plan.

Generally speaking, it can be divided into two major modules: economic and military.

As for high-profile politics, these subordinates are not qualified to get involved.

To put it bluntly, Hudson himself was following others, and there were really not many political issues to consider.

In the political system of the entire kingdom, he actually does not have a high say. Apart from the military field, he basically has nothing to do.

Politics and diplomacy are what the ministers in the royal capital need to consider. Everyone is responsible for their own economy, and the lords everywhere have sufficient autonomy.

Although the king can collect some taxes from local governments, the tax rates and types of taxes are fixed, and most places still have the ancient tax farming system.

If you want to charge an extra copper coin, you must obtain approval from the Noble Council. Unless it is a time of war, it will basically not pass.

Military: Continue to improve the reserve level system and gradually reduce the size of the standing army to less than 3,000 people.

Within three years, a 500-man crossbow force will be established, mainly equipped with magic crossbows; a thousand-man knights will be established to lay the foundation for the future formation of the Warcraft Knights.

There is no doubt that in terms of military development, the Mountain Territory has also followed a path similar to that of the nobles of the kingdom.

With the decline of the Orc Empire, the war model in which large armies pile up numbers of people may never appear again.

Looking around the Alpha Kingdom, there are no major alien forces at all. For a long time in the future, if any conflict breaks out with the outside world, it will be a civil war among the human race.

An aristocratic war has a lot of constraints. Massacres rarely occur, and we cannot expect that even in a civil war, everyone will be able to fight the enemy to the bitter end.

The era in which serfs were given weapons so they could go to the battlefield and fight to the death with their enemies will never return.

Under the new war mode, if serfs continue to go to the battlefield, there is a high probability that "three brave men, upper, middle and lower" will appear.

After all, in an aristocratic war, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, the serf or the serf.

Even if they win the battle, they will only be rewarded with a few meals of wine and meat; if they encounter a stingy lord, they may have to continue chewing black bread that can hurt people.

The general environment is such that Hudson does not dare to make big moves. The most important thing is that the serf soldiers really can't defeat the extraordinary troops. No matter how well-trained they are, they will still suffer.

If it had not been for the establishment of extraordinary troops, he would have canceled the national reserve system and only selected people with cultivation talents to train them from an early age.

Mainly due to productivity constraints, it is impossible to equip magic crossbows on a large scale. Otherwise, even an army composed of ordinary people can cause a certain amount of damage to the Knights.

Of course, this is in a defensive war. If an encounter occurs in the wild, with the current power of the magic crossbow, it still cannot stop the knights from charging.

Economically, Mountain Territory's development plan is simpler. To sum it up in one sentence: "Open up wasteland, dig canals, and develop industrial economy."

There is no specific content. The first two are very straightforward, and you can understand what they are doing at a glance. To develop the industrial economy later, you can only explore slowly.

As of now, the pillar industry of the Mountain Territory is still steel. No matter whether it is the pots, pans, swords or gun heads produced, they are all inseparable from steel.

The oil industry established in Hudson was eventually turned into self-use due to the massive increase in population.

Extending the industrial chain is also based on the self-sufficient lord economic system.

Developing commerce is pure nonsense. The largest group in the territory is serfs, followed by orc slaves.

There are only a few thousand people in total including free citizens and nobles. With this little purchasing power, the tapping potential is really limited.

The current main body of trade is still the nobility. Unless the serfdom system is broken, it will be difficult for industry and commerce to develop.

Although there were organizations like the July Meeting, which shouted the slogan "Down with the nobility and liberate the serfs," they were all affiliated with cult groups.

As a member of the aristocratic group, Hudson would naturally not jump out and take his own life foolishly. Even if there is to be political reform, that is in the future.

Not to mention all of his subordinates, they are all masters of traditional education, and all of them are firm supporters of the current system.

"not enough!"

After taking a brief look at it, Hudson said calmly.

Everyone was surprised to hear such an answer. All plans were discussed together by them and covered almost all major matters in the development of the territory.

With such a short time, it is not easy to come up with an outline, and no one can come up with the specific implementation details so quickly.

"Please tell me, count!"

Kane said anxiously.

They are also working as workers, and their status is also different. Kane, who had become the head of the staff, now had to be the leader.

"The development of the territory cannot be separated from the population. You should know how high the land limit of the earl territory is.

By reclaiming the swamps and salam, the total area of ​​the territory definitely exceeds 40,000 square kilometers. Even if half of the land is used as cultivated land, it can feed millions of people.

What is our current population?

You guys should know how big the gap is. Why are there no policies to encourage childbirth? "

Hudson said dissatisfied.

In the era of feudal lords, if you want to increase the population, it mainly depends on the attitude of the lord.

As long as the noble master is willing to use money and food to support us, everyone can live with confidence and boldness.

In this era without entertainment or contraceptive facilities, creating humans at night is the eternal mainstream.

Marriage rate, what is that?

If you reach the age and do not get married, the officials of the lord's palace will directly assign a partner. Serfs did not even have the right to personal freedom, so they naturally had no right to refuse.

As for free people, there were only a few in the territory, so it didn't matter whether they had a positive desire to have children.

"Earl, we have already issued an announcement to liberalize childbearing. There is no need to reiterate it, right?"

Kane responded bravely.

"Encourage childbearing" was the first time he heard this term. According to tradition, when the lord needs to increase the population, he will issue an announcement to relax childbearing.

After that, as long as a new baby is born, the Lord's Mansion will increase the corresponding material rations.

Currently, the mountainous territories are doing this too, adopting a traditional material rationing system.

The difference is that in order to encourage land reclamation, Hudson shared part of the land's profits with the territorial residents.

The people who came here early in the morning, as long as they were honest and willing to work, could now more or less have some extra income, and they were considered wealthy households among the serfs.

As for liberalizing childbirth, it seems that since Hudson moved into the Mountain Territory, there has never been any restriction on people having children.

If we put it on Earth in the previous life, the population fertility rate of the Mountain Territory would be the absolute king.

Unfortunately, due to medical conditions, while the fertility rate is high, the mortality rate is also high.

“These alone are not enough, relying solely on natural population growth is too slow.

We must come up with more active population incentive policies, such as providing better medical facilities for the residents, or providing some in-kind rewards.

How can the territory's medical resource needs be met by just relying on a few priests?

The training cycle for pastors is too long, and it is impossible to train a large number of pastors in a short period of time.

The best choice is to train pharmacists. They don't need to be too proficient in refining medicine. As long as they understand pharmacology, can mix some herbal medicines, and can deal with some minor daily problems, it is enough. "

When Hudson's words fell into everyone's ears, they were no less than a thunder.

Pharmacists were not popular in the Aslant continent. In the era when the Holy See was prosperous, they were even classified as heretics and would be burned at the stake if caught.

Even after the decline of the Holy See, pharmacists remained a sideline profession under the influence of traditional concepts.

Mainly high-ranking nobles who did not need pharmacists to serve them. If you are injured or sick, there is a priest. Even if you don't want to receive magic treatment, there are more advanced magic potions.

There's no way, it's just so hierarchical. The magic potions used by the big shots are orthodox, but the ordinary pharmacists are heretical.

In Hudson's view, all this is caused by interests. In order to monopolize medical resources, pastors deliberately discredit and suppress competitors.

In a place where the power of the Holy See was strong, Hudson would never dare to do such an unorthodox thing. But this is the Kingdom of Alpha, a place where priests want to look at nobles.

The priests in the territory may be dissatisfied, but they will never cause a big mess. Even if they don't want to do it, the family behind them will make them be honest.

The right to speak is something that only a high priest is qualified to possess. Those who hang out in Hudson's territory are a group of low-level priests.

If they don't want to do it, there are a lot of people out there waiting to take their place. Just to meet the medical needs of the nobles, it doesn't really take many people.

What's more, although this kind of change has some impact on the status of pastors, its overall impact is not great.

Even if the declining pharmacists revive in the Mountain Territory, they will only be able to provide medical services to serfs for a long time in the future.

The nobles cannot trust these guys. Their current competitors are still the magicians who are proficient in alchemy.

Generally speaking, as long as there is no war. The nobles don't have much demand for medical resources, and all the knights are in excellent health.

When something goes wrong with your body, it happens in your later years. Usually when an old disease recurs, it is time to die.

Anyway, the healing technique used by priests to stimulate life potential is a life-threatening charm for nobles in their later years.

If you don't treat it, you can live for a few more days, but if you treat it, you will most likely be sent away directly.

"Count, there are not many good people in these sideline pharmacists. Let them in, I'm afraid they will cause trouble. Especially their reputation, they might even attract..."

Before political officer Jacob could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted: "Whether they are good people or not, I just need them to train more pharmacists for the territory.

If you are worried that there is something wrong with them, send someone to keep an eye on them. What you need is to help me solve the problem, not just ask the question.

As for the wind and rain in the outside world, with me as the Earl standing in front of me, you don’t need to bear it! "

Compared with the benefits, Hudson feels that some risks are completely bearable.

The church within the kingdom was in disarray and had long been split into pieces by the nobles. The bishop of the Mountain Territory was appointed by Hudson himself. Politically, it was purely a decoration.

If this causes the Holy See to be dissatisfied, then let them be dissatisfied. My eldest brother is a heretic in the eyes of the Holy See, so there is nothing wrong with him keeping up.

He originally made his fortune by killing the Holy See cavalry and taking advantage of the glory of political correctness, so Hudson didn't mind making his anti-Vatican mark even deeper.

…

After finishing the day's work, Hudson returned to the gentle land again. I have to admit that Isabel, who is proficient in singing, dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is indeed very attractive. He has been staying here these days.

As time passed, a sense of crisis developed in Hudson's heart. Especially the letter from his fiancée made him feel even more overwhelmed.

At the beginning, he swore to Melissa that he had nothing to do with Isabel. There was no way he could explain this situation.

In this regard, he admired his father-in-law. The red flag at home did not fall, but the colorful flags outside were waving. Even once in the past, Hudson found Oran bringing his lover home to play with his wife.

Hudson can't guarantee that he can do the same thing. At the very least, his ability to coax women is completely inferior to that of his father-in-law.

The only thing that can attract women is what Maxim brings. The identity of a dragon knight is born with an aura.

Perhaps she felt something. Isabel, who was lying in his arms, suddenly turned around, stared at Hudson and asked: "Hudson, what are you worried about?

Is there anything that can stump you, the dragon knight? "

“It’s nothing big, it’s just that we encountered a little trouble during the development of the territory.

I plan to train a group of pharmacists to provide better medical protection for the people of the territory, but now I am worried about the collective opposition of the pastors of the territory. "

Hudson said with all his heart.

To tell the truth is impossible. If the jealousy is overturned, it will be difficult to obtain this top-notch enjoyment.

In recent days, Isabel has served him too comfortably, and Hudson does not want to destroy the current relationship between the two.

"If you don't consider external influences and it's just the opposition from the priests, if you send someone over to communicate with them privately, I think everyone will give you, the Earl, face!"

It can be seen from the suspicious eyes that Isabel does not believe the reasons given by Hudson. But as a smart person, she didn't expose it directly, but took it as a real thing and helped make suggestions.

Realizing this, Hudson groaned secretly. Deep down in my heart I couldn't help but think that it is better for women to be dumber. Women who are too smart are really not easy to fool!

It seems that Isabel behaves very virtuously, but is this what a lover should do? It was obvious that this was a pretense to show him, trying to amplify his inner guilt.

If she really had the same status, no one of ten Melissa could be her match when it came to playing tricks.

It's a pity that there are not so many ifs. Some things are present when you are born, but if you are not born, you cannot have them.

In the continent of Aslant, men still have the opportunity to change their fate on the battlefield and complete the leap of status and class.

If a woman wants to make a leap, she can only pick potential stocks and invest in advance before a man becomes successful.

For example: It is possible for a potential star like Hudson to marry a singer before he obtains a knighthood, or when he is completely destitute after receiving a knighthood.

But at that time, it was impossible for Hudson to catch Isabel's eye. The little nobles who were fascinated by her were able to line up from here to the royal capital.

The marriage with the Hollister family was also the result of Olan's unique vision and early investment as a Viscount.

You must know that when the two sides began to contact, Hudson was still a small baron. At most, his military strength was stronger than that of ordinary barons.

Faced with the olive branch offered by a well-established luxury brand, the Koslow family, who did not know that Hudson could rise rapidly, could not even think of rejecting it.

After all the dust settled, Hudson began his true rise. It can be called a classic case of perfectly seizing the opportunity and betting on potential stocks in advance.

"Yeah! That's a good idea. I'll make arrangements later!"

While talking, Hudson had already kissed her...
