The emergence of industry requires a suitable system, a suitable social atmosphere, sufficient wealth accumulation and a bit of luck to complete the transformation from an agricultural country to an industrial country.
And the process is not beautiful and romantic, but the most savage side of civilization.
War capitalism continued to conquer colonization and bloody rule, brought slavery out again, created a large number of child labor, sacrificed several generations, broke the traditional farming mode of life for the past thousand years, and finally completed the global industrialization system. Productivity has been increased by hundreds of thousands of times.
Before that, no matter which continent it was, more than 95% of the population was scattered in rural areas. It was because industrial production required labor to concentrate, and there was a need for the birth of more modern metropolises.
For the empire to complete the centuries-long journey of the earth country within ten years, every choice must not be hesitant, and every opportunity must be seized.
The Queen of Eternal Night didn't need to understand Roger's many considerations. She just despised the current system of nobility segregation from the bottom of her heart. It was really annoying to be held back by these pig teammates again and again.
She finally managed to get rid of a group of nobles, exiled a group, and gathered a group of them.
After Roger's generous remarks, the Queen of Eternal Night first set a general policy for the future path of the empire:
"The era when I directly manage the entire empire must come."
Margaret doesn't care, it can even be said that she is very happy, she supports all the decisions of the Queen.
She is an orphan, and she was awarded a title because of her merits. She doesn't have much sense of identity with the nobility system at all, and she doesn't think that her title is a natural honor, an excellent bloodline, or something...
At most, she compared the title with others, and then found that Roger was also a marquis, Angelina was a duke, and the Charles family had a higher title than her, whether it was human or dog, which was annoying and dazzling.
Angelina remained silent with a worried look on her face.
She understood what Roger said, and felt His Majesty's determination, but she still had to think a few more times, worrying about the chain reaction of such strides forward.
Can the empire stand up to such turmoil? Can the subsequent transfer of power be successfully undertaken
In the eyes of the Right Prime Minister, this is an unprecedented new system without any reference, and every step is a test on the edge of a cliff.
If you are not careful, you may fall into a deep valley, and you will never be able to recover.
If it was before, she would definitely suggest to His Majesty to adopt a more gentle policy, to boil frogs in warm water to weaken the power of the nobles step by step, rather than to directly administer the imperial power.
I am afraid that even the people at the bottom can not quickly accept such a change, expressing doubts about the sudden disappearance of aristocratic rule, and it is difficult to adapt.
But at the moment discussing this issue, one is His Majesty, whom she is absolutely loyal to, and the other is her younger brother whom she brought up with her own hands.
No matter how much doubt Angelina had, she couldn't dismantle her younger brother's platform.
Instead, in the process of implementation, try to eliminate the influence of the proposer for the younger brother as much as possible...
Otherwise, everyone would not dare to directly oppose the Queen of Eternal Night, but if there is a slight error, Roger may encounter the scene of being opposed by the fire again, even more spectacular than the scene of the triumphal celebration.
Those who are determined to change have always been difficult to end well.
[So, my sister is always useful, right? 】
Angelina's expression gradually became firmer. This time, His Majesty brought himself to discuss with her, which relieved the discomfort that she had been neglected before.
She had missed too many key decisions before, but this time she can participate in it and contribute her own strength.
At least, she is still "needed".
Angelina took the initiative to suggest: "The nobles are still valuable to the empire, and their abilities are worthy of recognition. As long as they can guarantee their loyalty and do not retain certain privileges and wealth for the territory, they can also contribute to the construction of the empire."
"But only people's hearts are the most unpredictable. With power in their hands, it is difficult to avoid corruption. How can we ensure their loyalty?" The Queen of Eternal Night asked back.
"magic."
"Anjie, you know me, if I were willing to use magic to force control of others, would there still be such bad people and bad things?"
"Your Majesty, what if it was a contract signed by the nobles voluntarily?" Angelina showed a confident smile, "Politics is an exchange of interests, depriving them of territorial rights, but giving them personal glory, power, and longevity, such compromises and concessions, They are also so hard to accept, that's human nature."
Margaret objected: "We have an absolute advantage, why should we compromise with those pigs?"
Angelina just smiled faintly: "Because the empire's territory is too big now, if you can handle all the affairs of nearly a hundred provinces by yourself, Margaret, then you really don't need these nobles."
"I, I, I... I'm a military expert!" Margaret turned her face away, and stopped arguing with Angelina about internal affairs.
Angelina said softly: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you sign an oath of honor with the nobles, use limited longevity as a lure, and add the spiritual suggestion of putting the empire first, so as to create a new country that has no territorial rights but still retains glory. Aristocratic class. In this way, the empire can be directly administered by His Majesty, and the loyalty of the nobles can be retained."
Roger looked at his sister. At this time, she was not a saint, but a devil who mastered people's hearts.
Although immortality is inaccessible, with the power of a magician, there are many ways to prolong life.
It has little effect on a strong person like the Queen of Evernight, but for ordinary people and low-level professionals, such means are rare and precious.
If, as Angelina said, a magical ritual to prolong life is constructed, the price is to regard the empire as the most sacred and important thing in their hearts, I believe that the nobles will be willing to accept it after hesitating.
After all, they've been cornered, and it's a decent temptation to suddenly have the option to keep their glory, power, and wealth limited and live long.
And after this "Oath of Glory", the empire gained direct jurisdiction over the territory, and there were also a group of absolutely loyal administrative officials.
When they devote themselves to their posts for a period of time and gain the love of the people, false glory may also become real.
Maybe a few years later, the people of the empire will completely reverse the views of the nobles, thinking that they are public servants of the people, and of course they deserve the word "expensive".
This is indeed a highly feasible, win-win solution.
At the same time, it is also a dignified and upright conspiracy. It is only after the careful thinking of those nobles that they can come up with such a strategy.
The Queen of Eternal Night thought about it and looked at Roger: "What do you think of Aiqing?"
"What the Prime Minister said is a clever trick that the minister could never think of."
"Then deal with it like this, the secret law will cooperate with the right minister to complete the details of the oath of glory, and allow the new noble class to exist."
With Roger's affirmation, the Queen of Eternal Night decided to copy Angelina's homework this time.
I am really a good emperor who is wise and martial, good and kind~
Chapter 121 Luo Qingtian's Online Execution
"One sing and one harmony... woo woo woo, why don't I have a younger brother?"
After the four-person meeting, everyone was in a good mood, only Margaret was wronged and felt that she was being shown by this sister and brother.
It can't be said to be a show of affection, but it also makes her feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable!
These two brothers and sisters cooperated in output, I am afraid that His Majesty's favor for him would be less than a billion points!
If this trend continues, Roger will be recruited into the cabinet sooner or later, right
At that time, I couldn't watch the Charles brothers and sisters perform here every day, but I couldn't fight back
This is horrible!
No, I have to find a strong foreign aid who is smart enough, and I can only stand firmly in the cabinet by singing with myself!
The faces of the cabinet ministers appeared in front of Margaret's eyes, and finally locked on Dio Brando, the minister of history who had recently returned to Odu.
The other members of the cabinet are from noble backgrounds, they wear a pair of pants with Angelina, and they don't like themselves so much...
Only Dior was a civilian, and there is still the possibility of winning!
And he's also smart and strong enough.
I wanted to form an alliance with him before, this time, we have to seize the opportunity!
Brave Mary, not afraid of difficulties!
…
…
The next morning, it was drizzling.
Fergus City, the capital of the Duchy of Fergus, is a city that has prospered with the advent of adventurers. The business, forging and service industries are quite developed.
The Night Guard joined forces and administrative officials supported by the governors of the surrounding provinces, and successfully took over the territories of the surrounding nobles.
And from the day of the victory, it has been publicized everywhere, calling on the commoners who have been bullied and persecuted by these nobles to come to Fergus City to seek justice and to control the crimes of these nobles.
Lord Roger Charles, the commander of the Night Guard, will preside over a public trial of these great nobles with the divine power conferred by the Queen of Eternal Night.
At that time, the crimes of these corrupt nobles will be recorded according to the evidence provided by the people of the empire, and then their fate will be judged.
This is a new thing that the Empire and the Evernight World have never seen before.
Will nobles be put on trial too
You must know that there is an absolute difference between nobles and commoners in this world.
Especially the great nobles of the level of Archduke Fergus are the emperors in their own territory. As long as they do not rebel against rebellion, the Queen of Eternal Night will not interfere with what he does in the territory.
The felons of the commoners are exchanged for the nobles, usually only need to lose money, and the administrative officials have no right to judge the nobles.
This is the background of the Middle Ages, and the power status of the strong and the weak is as different as the sky, and the territorial governance of ordinary nobles is extremely rough.
Only the nobles have always stipulated various laws and taxes, and brutally exploited the commoners. How can the common people kill the nobles
The nobles are blood feuds, and if they encounter a civilian rebellion, they will hand in hand to suppress the civilians.
Now, some aristocrats say that they want to clear the grievances of the commoners and bring justice to them
Even if they heard that it was the Queen's order, everyone would be suspicious.
In the era of enfeoffment in the West, there was no court filing or inspection of the imperial censor.
Commoners can only pray that their lord is less greedy and makes life a little easier for them.
The existence of extraordinary power makes the peasant uprising a luxury.
Even the original rules of war between nobles, nobles crusade against each other, the victorious side will not kill the defeated.
