Power and Empire Chapter 1358: Dongting curtain (3)
Falcon Empire Calendar 3rd June 4th, evening, drizzle Feifei
Someone was standing on a small hill with his hands in his arms, looking at the falcon collar in the dark night in the distance. The sky was very dim, and the drizzle floated on the fat man’s helmet, and then gathered into small drops of water on the edge of the helmet. Fell into the armor,
The cold feeling penetrated into the skin from there. This damp feeling reminds the fat man of his first years. As the family territory of His Majesty Falcon, it is obvious that the castle that has been repaired in the misty rain and fog is flying with the mark of the Falcon family crest, although this The family castle is no longer in use, but there are still some servants of the Dustin family living in
Along the bottom of the castle mounds, the original village has become a small city of tens of thousands of people. It is adjacent to neatly spire houses, densely packed on the ground below the castle, brightly lit, like a little star , The river that the fat man used to hang around was reflected in the lights, like a silver belt passing around the small city, and there was no trace of time left on it at all.
some carriages covered with tarps, going in and out there,
The large area of population gathering allows small and medium-sized cities of this type to be seen everywhere in the southern part of Vicia. The roads running through the entire southern part connect these towns that have only emerged in recent years.
The cargo that landed from the southern coast can reach the center of Riwading in the south in only three days, and the cargo of Riwading, starting from the southern seaport, will appear in the remote Dorok within a week. In the mountains, there are huge commercial advantages and convenient commercial roads leading from north to south. Even large caravans with more than 30 carriages are the most common sight on the roads in the south.
The dense towns along the way, the roads and waterways extending in all directions, like spider webs on the earth, unify the south as a whole,
Among the 40 million population of the empire, nearly 10 million are gathered in this most prosperous area. This is the cornerstone of the empire’s stable country.
was the center of business activities at the very beginning. Five years ago, Vicia Southern was after a series of integrations by Fatty. Quickly entered the golden period of fastest development,
In the Samor era, a large number of immigrants entered the south. With the help of the established connected water network and quiet business, this land flourished for the first time.
During the Civil War, the mild climate and flat coastal wetlands of the Japanese car provided the largest granary for the Falcon Army.
While the war, the Falcon soldiers, mainly southerners, were rewarded in the war, and a large amount of funds flowed to the south.
The soldiers on the front line rushed to send the bounty home first, and the family members used the money to buy land, produce supplies, or invest in the chamber of commerce.
The soldiers became the weather vane of the entire region and became the first middle class to become wealthy, and these people in the army rely on military exploits to get rich. It also attracted more southerners to join the Falcon’s army. Fatty has never been stingy with rewards for military service. Excellent and loyal professional soldiers have become the main body of the Falcon army.
Because he knows that all this money will eventually become the foundation of the empire. The only difference is that the money was spent by himself or the soldiers did not spend it. Only benefiting these brave soldiers will Tied to my own destiny
As the Falcon Army won the "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜 ★ Text" victory in the front, a large amount of funds flowed into the southern part of Vikia, poured into the paddy fields like a river, which greatly promoted the prosperity of southern business. And commerce has led to the large-scale expansion of the entire "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜 ★ Text" area,
The influence of the southern part is from both military and commercial aspects. In just a few years, an invisible business empire revealed its jaw-dropping influence. The opening of the southern sea route finally gave the southern part of Vikia to one fell swoop. Established the supremacy of the mainland economic center,
The entire south is the heart of the empire, and now, new opportunities are once again in front of this vibrant land,
Empire’s Commercial City Order was promulgated in May,
As long as it is a city with a population of more than 50,000, the mayor of the city can be elected through voluntary voting by citizens.
The mayor is mainly responsible for the administrative affairs of the region. It is a term of three years. For those who have made important contributions to the city and the empire, the empire will award the title of lord. This is not a real power position, just an honorary title.
If you want to become a mayor, you must first become a lord. The lord’s power to grant the lord comes from the empire. The biggest reaction to this commercial city order and the name of the lord is the emerging commercial aristocracy. These were originally driven by the tide of the times. , The aristocratic elites who have abandoned the glory of the family, either actively or passively become the lowly businessmen they once looked down upon. Although their wealth is growing day by day, they still lack a sense of self-identity.
The so-called mayor and lord titles are undoubtedly the best way to fill this gap, although the mayor’s power is only the daily management power of the city itself, and even under the jurisdiction of the garrison in some places, although the lord does not What's the practical significance, still attracts many big businessmen to flock to it,
Regarding the judgment of the merchants’ contribution to the empire, after careful study by the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, as many as 28 detailed rules were formulated, mainly focusing on the construction of local infrastructure, the support of military logistics, and the local people’s Its evaluation and other aspects,
In order to obtain these judgments, the merchants began to voluntarily pay for the rest of the city’s roads, build some homeless shelters to support the civilians, and occasionally send some food to the local garrisons. In their respective urban areas, the enthusiasm of the merchants Very high, all working hard to become the first mayor of the city,
The first batch of lord’s list has been approved by Fatty. Handing over the city to real city managers is the only way to break through the current development bottleneck, although this may cause the merchant class to move closer to the core of power.
even hundreds of years later, became the enemy that shakes the empire, but so what? Even if there are no merchants, there will still be other classes. The fat man never thought of his own dynasty for generations to come. It was just the self-entertainment of some arrogant people. The feudal system will inevitably be replaced by a new system and created by himself. In the age of empire, there will naturally be decline and fall afterwards,
It was with this realization that the fat man quietly returned to his base camp, Riwading
Finally, he arrived in a large bedroom. The fat man saw his son who was thinking about it all night. Several waitresses in yellow palace dresses were waiting carefully on the rocking bed. Squinting at the sleeping little fat man,
The fat man walked on tiptoe, the nervous atmosphere did not dare to pant, his fingers glided gently across the extremely smooth skin, and his fingertips trembled and trembled. When he first touched the fat man’s body, there was a strange flow of induction. Coming over, the fat man who had killed millions of people and never felt moved and wanted to cry. For the first time, the tears couldn't help but "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜 ★ text" whirled in his eyes. What's a second? The most direct impulse in Fatty's heart is to yell to everyone "Look at "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜★ text", this is my son! The future king of the empire! "
This is his son. He is not a handsome face. He has a face that is as plump as himself. Looking at the little guy’s closed eyes and slightly trembling eyelashes, the fat man can imagine that it is a bright pair. The big and thorough eyes are the eyes that can guide the direction of the empire
Leaving the room, the fat man looked around and found no signs of other princesses. Even Mao Manaqing was not there. He frowned slightly and asked the waitress on duty "Where is the princess Mao Manaqing?" I went to sweat this morning. Li Palace! "The waitress on duty replied nervously," Han Li Gong? "
Fatty was a little surprised. Although the imperial base camp is in Jivadin and the offices of various agencies have been completed, as Fatty’s empire’s commanding center, the new palace is known as the "Khanjli Palace". , Just completed the construction of the front thousand acres of lawns and gardens,
Because of the large-scale war that spread to the entire continent last year, the imperial finances almost in deficit have caused the progress of this palace, which has been on the drawing for two years, to slow down again.
The construction work of the empire in other aspects is very fast. Just like roads and other infrastructure, it is generally required to be completed within three months.
The construction of this palace is always intermittent due to various reasons~IndoMTL.com~ so that the Khanli Palace project has become a barometer of the empire’s finances. Whatever sees the Khanli Palace started afterwards, it shows that the empire is rich. Now, what stopped work afterwards, it means that your Majesty Falcon’s pockets are dry and can starve mice,
Although it is embarrassing, as a monarch of a great empire, he even repaired his own bedroom for a few years, but the Vekya people like such a monarch because they know that the taxes they pay are actually used. Where needed,
Someone had calculated secretly, only the empire’s war of conquest against the Nords used more than 120,000 troops. The war lasted for 2 months and shaken countless materials. The amount of bounty issued after the war was even as high as 15 million gold coins benefited more than 90,000 frontline officers and soldiers,
This huge amount of funds is enough to build more than 20 palaces of the size of Khanli Palace, but during that month, the construction of Khanli Palace was suspended.
And the soldier’s bounty did not owe a single point. With the subsequent Battle of Dorok, Khanli Palace has been stopped for half a year. Therefore, some poets said, "The Khanli Palace represents the mind and heart of a king. Metrics!"
said the waitress on duty, "This morning, I heard that Princess Rui Tang Tingna suddenly rushed back, and also brought several tribal leaders from the northern grasslands. It seems that something urgent has happened, and she is cautious, Princess Mao Mo I decided to meet these people in Khan Li Palace in person!
