Rody didn't know much about economics, but in a world where productivity was in the middle ages, his fragmentary historical knowledge was enough to give strategic guidance to the current Karen Kingdom.
And through the understanding of the history of the earth, what Rody wants to do now is not just relying on the trade surplus to increase national strength. For him, bringing the entire kingdom under control in the war is more important than increasing productivity.
The knowledge and edification that Rody has learned since he was a child, actually have distinctive characteristics—for example, as a country with a history of centralized power for more than a thousand years, it is difficult for him to understand the distribution of power at the beginning of "Cracked Earth". How can the Karen Kingdom, with its lords and nobles highly autonomous, be called a complete "country"...
Under this kind of enfeoffment system of governance, fighting sometimes sounds like a child's play, so after obtaining the nominal ruling power through war, Roddy has been promoting and changing the original loose system and formulating more detailed laws , to gather power towards the center with all its strength.
In peacetime, such behavior will inevitably lead to see-saw and division of different forces. According to the previous history of the Karen Kingdom, it is not that no king has done this before, but the final result all ended in failure.
But for Roddy, the sudden large-scale attack of the devil now gave him a chance to "unify the front"—under the pressure of survival, the cabinet regime with absolute force had the right to send troops to all parts of the kingdom. The reason, after all, they are the only existence that can sweep away demons.
And in the process, those old aristocratic forces who once wanted to provoke trouble secretly, even if they chose to stop a few months ago, now they have to bow their heads and accept the ending of being ostracized and supervised by the army...
Under the premise of "foreign wars", Rody did not rush to gather troops and take large-scale actions, but "where to alert and where to save" step by step - as time went by, a large number of recruits matured rapidly in combat missions, transport planes In February, the number increased to a total of eighteen.
As a result, the airborne troops of the Karen Kingdom, together with the Dragon Clan, have formed an "air police" force that patrols the mainland.
After "air support" became the norm, Roddy's other plan also started.
Seven fortresses in the Karen Kingdom built new military airports one after another. At the same time, after gaining the trust of four countries in the eastern countries, they also built four airports next to their capitals.
Groups of soldiers carried ordnance and became "garrisons" stationed at these airports. At the same time, this place has also changed from an "air force airport" that was originally convenient for supporting the fight against demons to a veritable "military base".
Not only is it responsible for the "guards", but also specially assigned a "trade department" to connect with local officials to carry out various trade affairs with a wide range of radiation.
In the process of continuous trade, the currency of the Karen Kingdom was gradually circulated and infiltrated into other countries on the continent under the instruction of Roddy. Counterfeit "currency" is used as hard currency.
Those in power in most countries are obviously unaware of what this "paper currency" means, and they are completely unaware of this blatant financial erosion. Some even take the initiative to incorporate the "card dollar" currency into their own financial systems and set up Set the exchange rate ratio.
These small countries were not originally considered powerful, and the leaders were not so much kings as warlords—because they had coups and riots almost every few years, and whoever had the biggest fist would listen to them.
But now, when the Karen Kingdom came with an "invincible posture", these warlord leaders are desperately buying advanced weapons to arm their subordinates in order to maintain their dominance, and at the same time obey most of the Karen Kingdom's demands.
Because they spent a lot of money on buying weapons, they had to use the mineral deposits, crystals and all kinds of rare resources in the country to trade, and the Karen Kingdom did not seem to treat them badly. After a calculation, some countries even They also "earned" a lot, each with a beautiful grin, and with a wave of his hand, more subjects started mining and resource collection.
As for the life and death of these civilians, these rulers don't care at all.
The transport plane pulled those priceless magic crystals, ores, and precious resources from all over the world to Hollier City and Elson City. The cost and purchase price were calculated to be countless times cheaper than the "normal" purchase price...
This is the huge advantage brought about by poor information and technological crushing. To put it bluntly, Roddy is now letting the Karen Kingdom suck blood within the continent, but these countries that have been "blood-sucked" are happy...
And when spring came again, the farmers near Houlier City did not start large-scale spring plowing as usual... Here, thick smoke from burning coal mines can be seen everywhere, and factories are running day and night. But there was a waste of time.
Because many farmers have found that they have food and drink in the factory, and dormitories are not expensive. Although it is hard work for more than ten hours a day, after a year of doing this, the salary is enough to go back to the village to build a new house and marry a wife.
Because Luo Di has enacted a number of laws to protect the rights and interests of workers, even if there is a situation where there are yin and yang violations, the salary will still significantly exceed the original income of a farmer. This is one of the huge dividends brought about by industrialization. As long as the money printing machine prints Fast enough that the workers will never want to go back to farming.
The cabinet has anticipated such a situation, and has simultaneously introduced various policies. On the one hand, it will integrate cultivated land, let agriculture develop towards mechanization, improve efficiency, and save labor. Big price low quality enough…
These policies are just a microcosm of the kingdom, and when the sun shone into the magic tower on the first day of March, Talia tied her hair behind her ears, and looked at Nefi and was pleasantly surprised: "It's really great! This way We are considered 'colleagues'!"
"I have to work hard, or I won't be able to participate in your research at all, but I heard that Master Ethan's results are good. After publishing three papers, a great magister is already recruiting him Woolen cloth!"
After helping her mother improve the "Hovila" magic circle three times, Nai Fei returned to Houlier City and applied for the lowest-level laboratory in the magic tower as a "first-level researcher". Although it was ongoing, no larger-scale war had broken out in months, so she was now relocated to Talia's side.
