Chapter 292 Land Reform

After thinking about everything, Feng Willow put on his ducal uniform and headed to the palace during the morning meeting. It's time for the nobles to get to know him, the grand duke's advisor.

I want to make this country run according to my own ideas, and make the people rich and the country strong, and its charm lasting. It is impossible not to get along with this group of nobles who rule the country.

In the past, Feng Willow only felt that dealing with these nobles was a waste of time. But now he has to stand up for his own future.

Seeing Feng Willow coming to attend the morning meeting, Kenlohag's hanging heart seemed to drop. The unknown is the scariest thing, especially because the destructive power of Grand Duke Fon Willow is too powerful, just like a giant beast. When dealing with a giant beast, even if you know that the other party will not hurt you, you will still have worries in your heart.

Now that Feng Willow is willing to come to participate in the country's morning meeting, if there is any matter, it is better to put it out in the open than to make random guesses.

"Grand Duke Willow, how come you have time to attend the morning meeting? Come on, let me introduce to you. This is the Grand Duke von Willow who turned the tide. The last time our Viking Empire was restored, Duke Willow He made great achievements and was granted the title of Grand Duke and the territory of three counties by his predecessor.

In this counter-insurgency war, it was Grand Duke von Willow who took action again to suppress the traitor Kilger. Only then did our Viking Empire successfully counter the rebellion. Now he is the Grand Master of our empire. "Ken Lohag affectionately pulled Feng Willow and introduced him to all the nobles.

"Your Majesty, when I come here this time, I also have some ideas that I would like to express to Your Majesty!" Feng Willow said, and handed over the reform plan he had written.

"Everyone, everyone knows that today's world is undergoing great changes and is changing with each passing day. The Fenn Empire is far ahead in research on steam machinery. Their new steam ships have larger capacity, stronger defense, and faster speed.

There are also new steam cannons with an attack range of up to thirty kilometers, but our steam cannons are far inferior to theirs. This made the Fenn Empire's navy invincible on the sea, and also gave their caravans an advantage in ocean trade.

In just a few years, the current Fenn Empire has become the overlord of the ocean, and the interests from the sea have been completely occupied by them.

There is also the Snow Empire. Although their research on steam machinery is not as advanced as that of the Fenn Empire, they are also studying the combination of steam technology and puppets.

Use steam factories to produce powerful steam puppets on a large scale and build a huge steam puppet army. Allowing them to use faster speeds to build a large number of steam puppets.

These technologies have actually made the Snow Empire become the most powerful country among the four empires. Even if our Viking Empire and Alfa Empire unite, we may not be able to defeat the Steam Puppet Army of the Snow Empire.

Let’s talk about the Alfa Empire. Although their research on steam machinery is not as good as that of the Fenn Empire and the Snow Empire, they still have steam machinery that they can use, such as steam machine guns. Although this kind of steam machinery can deal with high-level sequences, is of little use.

But it's a surefire way to deal with low-level Sequencers, and when used intensively, the power is enough to make an army of Sequencers hate themselves. I don’t need to say more in this regard. The Empire’s Wolf Cavalry has suffered greatly from steam machine guns. You should know something about it.

In addition, Wright VI was also a wise king. He vigorously promoted Sequencers among small and medium-sized nobles, provided them with training resources, and trained a large number of Knight Sequencers. Now it is not obvious that the strength of these Sequencers from small nobles is low. When their strength increases by one or two levels in the future, the strength of the Alfa Empire will also be greatly improved. The national strength of the Alfa Empire is also increasing day by day.

As for our Viking Empire, we have been at war over the years since we were last destroyed by the Death Cult. Our national strength has not made any progress. Instead, the people have become increasingly poor because of successive wars. There are fewer and fewer Sequencers, and they are all concentrated in noble families.

Whether you admit it or not, among the four major empires now, our Viking Empire is the weakest. If there is any evil incident in the future, we will definitely be the first to attack us, because our country is the weakest and the easiest to bully! "Feng Willow said impassionedly in the meeting hall.

Kenlohag looked at the reform plan handed over by von Willow and listened to his impassioned speech. I couldn't help but feel anxious in my heart.

Although Feng Willow's words don't sound good, they are indeed true. But the truth is the most hurtful. Their Viking Empire has indeed gone from being the most powerful country on the mainland to being the weakest weakling among the four empires.

Of course Kenlohag also wanted to be a good emperor and lead the Viking Empire back to its peak. But von Willow's plan is indeed too radical, and none of it is easy to achieve.

The first is education reform, which requires universal education and ensuring that all children of school age receive education. The most important thing is that the empire needs to provide funding. The policy is definitely a good policy, but what? Their Viking empire had just ended its civil war and could now be said to be completely impoverished, with the empire's national strength suffering a serious loss.

At this time, if we want to popularize education, the country simply has no money. Without money, nothing can be accomplished. No matter how good the medicine is, it can easily poison someone if used at this time.

"The idea of ​​Grand Duke von Willow is a good one, but there is really no way to implement it for the time being. We can only implement it when the empire becomes richer in the future. It's impossible to rush.

Agrarian reform aims to relieve serfs from their status, allocate fields to them for farming, and return all cultivated land to the state. This is also unrealistic. If I dare to implement this policy, I am afraid that the whole world will rebel immediately. The nobles would never agree to such an outrageous policy. "Ken Rohage definitely wants to be a good emperor, but looking at these suggestions from Feng Willow, he can only shake his head one after another. The subsequent road construction and prohibition of collecting tolls are also impractical.

It is the right of the nobles to collect taxes in the territory. Even if he becomes the emperor, he cannot go against all the nobles. The only reliable suggestion is to build roads. Unfortunately, this also requires a lot of money, but again, the country has no money!

"Grand Duke Willow, these suggestions of yours are indeed very good policies. Unfortunately, the country has just experienced war and there is really no money. We can only implement these measures when the finances become more generous in the future." Although Rohag felt in his heart that Feng Willow didn't understand anything and was just a bad idea that he came up with on the forehead and was full of contempt, but this was not the time to talk about this.

As soon as von Willow saw the look on Kenlohag's words, he knew that Kenlohag must not be interested in his policy plan. He suddenly said in his heart: "It's going to end."

"Your Majesty, that's what I think. I also know that the country probably doesn't have much money now, so we should implement land reform first. After so many years of war, our Viking Empire should be in a state of less people and more land. We can first Land reform was implemented in non-aristocratic territories within the empire.

If anyone disagrees, we will directly search their homes and we should be able to obtain a batch of money and food. Then by distributing land, the people can settle down. Then we move on to the next step. "Feng Willow said the solution he had been thinking about for a long time.

Kenlohag shook his head helplessly and said: "How can the empire forcibly expropriate the land of those people? People without land are the people of the empire. Are those who have land not the people of the empire? Grand Duke, The policy you propose is absolute chaos.”

He could tell at a glance that von Willow's policy would offend two groups of people: one was the landlords, and the other was the newly emerging factory owners and capitalists.

If everyone is given land and goes to farm, who will work in their factories? In this era, workers are no better than farmers, and they are even far inferior to those farmers who own land.

Workers work eleven or twelve hours a day just to have enough food and clothing. In fact, the life of land-owning farmers is not so tiring.

Feng Willow's proposal made the nobles who met him for the first time today and originally wanted to get close to him look at him coldly. Obviously, these policies made them very dissatisfied.

Seeing the looks on the nobles' faces, Feng Willow had only two words in his mind at the moment: "Cool!" Obviously, no one wanted to see his policy of improving national power.

The problem now is no longer the emperor's problem. He still failed to consider it and opposed it from top to bottom. Even if he tried to find a way to change the emperor, I'm afraid he still wouldn't be able to implement his policies.

"Forget it, when natural and man-made disasters happen one after another, let's see if these guys can handle it. Let's go back and start managing my territory first. When they can't handle it anymore, and my territory is prosperous, I Let me introduce my policy of strengthening the country to them," Feng Willow thought in his mind.

Feng Willow, who originally planned to take root in the Viking capital for the next twenty years, returned to his territory that night.

"Willow, why are you back so soon? Saiyan and I are still planning to find you!" Taris said happily when he saw Feng Willow.

"I have thought about my policies. The nobles and the emperor will not believe them until they see the benefits. It is better to implement them in our own territory first. It will be easier until we have results here. Let’s make suggestions to the emperor again,” Feng Willow said.

Saiya also came back at this time. She had been dealing with matters in the territory urgently in the past few days, and she also looked tired. The moment I saw Feng Willow, all the fatigue seemed to disappear in an instant.

Feng Willow took out the policies he had prepared for several days and handed them to Sai Ya and said: "I have thought about it. I will not go to the royal capital for the time being and implement these policies in our three counties first.

Abolition of slavery, public ownership of land, and allotment of fields to all common people willing to farm. "Fon Willow said firmly.

Saiya also frowned when she saw these policies of Feng Willow. After all, she was also from a noble family. And he has also been responsible for internal affairs.

"Professor, if this policy is implemented, more than one or two people will be offended. In a short period of time, there will probably be chaos in our territory." Saiya said tactfully.

"Then let it be in chaos and completely destroyed, and we will build a brand new territory. In fact, isn't our territorial policy in the New World like this? I also distributed land to all the slaves, look at it How much food have we accumulated over the years?" Feng Willow said confidently.

"Okay, since the current territory is not to your liking, let's crush him completely." Saiya didn't even try to persuade him, but stood directly on Feng Willow's side.

"Then we will implement the land policy starting from tomorrow. At the same time, we will use the wealth we have accumulated over the years to implement the education policy. We need to train our own people. If there are not enough teachers, we will go back to the territory of the Anerfa Empire to transfer people." Feng Weiluo said majestically.

The entire three border counties were in chaos as Feng Weiluo forcibly implemented the land policy and education policy. The landlord class was naturally unwilling to see their family business, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, fall into ruin.

On the one hand, they desperately wanted to resist, and on the other hand, they asked their families to flee the territory of Feng Weiluo's three counties first. If you don't stay here, there will be other places for you.

Soon, the vigorous reform was implemented on the land of the three counties, and the landlords were quickly defeated. After all, this world is the world of the nobles. Only the nobles have extraordinary power, and the landlords are not qualified to control power.

The land reform was quickly implemented in the three border counties, freeing slaves and distributing land. And those who got the land had smiles on their faces.

Free three-year education was also implemented in the three counties. There were not enough teachers, so Feng Weiluo simply dispatched missionaries from the Temple of Friendship to be teachers. They taught while preaching.

Originally, there were more than a dozen sects in the three counties, but after Feng Weiluo launched free education, all the children quickly became believers of the God of Friendship, and they were devout believers. They started learning from childhood and had firm beliefs.

Seeing that the reform was beginning to show results, and Feng Weiluo still had a large amount of food in his hands, he began to refine the Fire Crow Pot.

There are also differences between magic weapons. Although the Resentful Dragon Nail and the Coiled Dragon Wooden Staff can be called magic weapons, they are limited by materials and cannot control the rules. They can only be regarded as inferior magic weapons.

If you want to upgrade to a superior magic weapon, you must at least sacrifice tens of millions of people, and if there are too many blood sacrifices, it will become an evil magic weapon. The Fire Crow Pot is different. This is a superior magic weapon refined with national destiny.

As Von Willow began to draw on the country's fortune to refine the Fire Crow Pot, the Viking Empire began to suffer from many disasters. (End of this chapter)
