Vol 8 Chapter 1185: that power

At the end of September, the wheat fields around the Karen Kingdom were almost harvested.
In a year of good weather, the implementation of the preferred seeds and long-farming system has given the Kingdom an unprecedented "harvest"-more than three times higher grain output than in the past. For a cabinet that has begun to reform its taxes, This represents a substantial filling of the national treasury ... because in this era, most of the tax revenue is collected through direct collection of food.
In order to prevent the price of food from falling sharply and damaging farmers' interests, the cabinet has also set a minimum purchase price to ensure the stability of the grassroots level of the society. Although there must be some adjustments and losses, the rapid development has masked most of the problems. At present, All classes are happy, even the nobles who secretly colluded and wanted a coup to rebel, but temporarily stopped because they made enough money.
The little nobles and the civilians are very realistic: no one will overthrow a stable regime that can make their lives comfortable and does not need to fight all day, let alone the military level of this regime is currently the highest in the world. See the newspapers about the various The introduction of the power of this weapon and the results, everyone knows what is the end of carrying a bow and a knife to fight.
Under such circumstances, the Karen Kingdom has ushered in the fastest-growing stage in history. Because even the lowest-level people have gradually realized the benefits brought about by technological and magical changes.
After the surplus grain was purchased, the farmers who had surplus money and surplus grains began to purchase daily necessities that could not be purchased in cities and towns, and even some villages began to raise funds to purchase and build large machinery such as hydraulic mills-these things are in the process After the improvement and use of more precise metal bearings, the efficiency has increased and the price has dropped. Today, the threshold for use has been greatly reduced.
And the small landlords who originally expected land income, now also start to look at the new lines that are constantly emerging in the city, sharpening their heads to drill into the city one by one-because of the improvement of magic technology and blowouts, this The group of guys can be said to enter early and take off early, and the tuyere is here. They only need to invest in the funds, and they can get countless returns.
Magicians are not very interested in making money, and now they are like bees densely gathered in a hive, one by one busy with their own research. But this behavior is just like the fusion reaction, allowing the entire magical world to accelerate at an ever-changing speed, and to rapidly advance the level of human understanding of the world.
This is a huge and intangible power. No mage will think about the future of the kingdom and even human beings, but their highly efficient way of learning and improving is more like an engine that drives the whole The human world is moving forward.
Trucks, trains, roads, and even ships and aircraft are rapidly iterating, and the transportation operation system around Elson City, Holy City, and Imperial City is constantly improving. Because there is no shortage of food, a large number of bottom-level manpower began to leave the farmland and put it into the coal yard of the mine. The black smoke columns rose, as if a deity had pressed the "fast forward" button on the humans of the Karen Kingdom.
The rapid expansion from the zero-established southern port has prospered. The technicians from Rashiman have instructed the shipbuilding team of the Karen Kingdom to set up a large dock. However, they did not fully use the traditional Rashiman shipbuilding process. With the help of various magic machines, based on the traditional structure, a steel warship that can be driven by "steam power" and spar energy was built.
The news was completely confidential and even the parliament of the Kingdom of Rasiman was unaware of it.
The scene of prosperity is everywhere, and the slight contradictions of the cabinet cannot affect the overall situation. There is no rebellion in the kingdom, and occasional vicious incidents are quickly dealt with, and they have become typical with the efforts of propaganda agencies, thereby further increasing the prestige of the central government.
However, the people in the kingdom have experienced this change. For the countries that have been separated from the transportation system ... such as the small nations such as the Undead Tasman Empire and the eastern stars, the Karen Kingdom seems to them to have developed a caravan. The other knew nothing.
When Roddy picked up the latest reported stationery, he blinked and sighed, "I almost forgot this guy."
"Who?"
Camilla leaned over from his chair and drew to his side: "... orc forces attacked and occupied the fortress of Luz ... orcs? Are those you run away?"
Rordy actually has Sauron in his head. Although the orc leader is certainly not as good as himself now, in terms of the ability of the opponent, he really can be called the previous generation of lords. Since he crossed the Karen kingdom with his defeated army and fled the territory, Roddy has not paid much attention to the movement of the other party. After all, the "Information Bureau" 's investigation scope has not yet radiated that far.
The news received at this time was actually three months ago. The "Lux Fortress" is also separated by several mountains from the eastern border of Karen. The straight line distance is more than 200 kilometers, so the news was mostly brought back by the caravan.
Roddy didn't need to worry about it, but there were some details written in the back of the report: the orc army was raging in the battle, and the defensive soldiers could not resist it, and declared defeat in one day.
This reminded Roddy immediately of the history of the orcs: they originally appeared in this world as demon pioneers. At first, this group of guys destroyed most of the high elves in a state of banning magic, and scattered after the devil was repelled. After learning about this world ~ EbookFREE.me ~ After countless years of evolution and reproduction, it has become what it is today.
"This cannot be left unattended. Their connection with the devil is probably closer than that of Teflin and the devil. Maybe Kazvila has regained control over them in some way."
Roddy made a decision after a brief thought, and Camilla asked, "Contact Soderlor now?"
Soderol finally returned to the Karen Kingdom by plane half a month ago. Because of his outstanding military merits, he has won the commendation of Sally I and sealed the count and territory.
However, the "Earl" at this time is completely different from the previous lords in terms of power and control. This is also a necessary means adopted by the central government to prevent local counterattacks.
For Rodi, the brother who fought side by side was actually the number one in the military-the latter's political wisdom was enough, and he took the initiative to surrender power. Now, only when the cabinet collectively writes a power of attorney, At the same time, after the signature and seal of Queen Sally I was on the power of attorney, Soderlor could have the power to lead the army, otherwise he would never be half a step closer to the barracks on weekdays.
