Chapter 638: Princess fief

The agreement between Sean and King Laurie is still relatively friendly and broad, and a series of trade agreements have been signed. In the overall situation, I dare not say anything unchanged, at least the impact is not as great as expected.
There is a difference between King Laurie and Princess Sophielia, especially after Sean married Princess Sophielia, some things should be paid more attention to.
In order to avoid suspicion, Sean took the initiative to abolish some non-essential and sensitive institutions led by the Yongye Army in the royal capital of Valesta, and some industries also let King Laurie buy large-scale shares.
Like the Flying Eagle Book System in the Dawn Tavern, it was sold directly to King Laurie at cost.
As for some things, whether they took the opportunity to turn from the light to the dark, only Sean himself knew.
In the short term, the interests of the leader of the eternal night will be damaged. Not only will the influence that has just been established in the royal capital Valesta shrink, but even the trade volume will be affected.
But in the long run, there are still benefits.
Since some sensitive things have been removed, even if the relationship between the two parties deteriorates in the future, it will not be easy for King Laurie to find faults from this, even if he has torn his face and hit the Yongye leader with all his strength. , Their impact is relatively limited.
Sean is not optimistic about the situation in the capital Valesta. Now is just the eve of the storm. For a long time in the future, this place will be the storm center of the entire Byron Alliance.
St. Ether's new Pope St. George’s all-Union evangelism was interrupted by Princess Sophielia with high pressure.
Pope Saint George and Saint Enid who bewitched King Laurie were even driven back to Saint Ann.
But King Laurie was deeply poisoned, and Princess Sophia tried everything, not only failed to reverse his thoughts, but made the relationship between the two parties worse.
Without special circumstances, King Laurie basically does not meet with Princess Sophia.
Once Princess Sophia leaves the royal capital, she thinks and knows with her that the Holy See, headed by Pope Saint George, will definitely launch a new round of counterattack.
As the saying goes, Shuzhi can think of ways to help.
When the tree grows crooked unconsciously, the effect of external force is minimal.
The fact that she was pregnant before marriage made Princess Sophia unable to continue her marriage. Once married, she would no longer be a member of the Lancelot royal family. At that time, she could not easily interfere with Lancelot. Special royal affairs.
In addition to external reasons, there are also problems inside the royal family.
When the Baowang faction has the princess faction as a foreign enemy, it can still fight against the enemy.
When they expelled the princess faction, they would inevitably fall into an internal struggle for power.
This is not only a painful period of power change, but also a manifestation of King Laurie's lack of internal control.
The change of power is not a ceremony to enthrone the throne. It is such a simple matter to hand over a symbolic sword of courage.
There are also a series of things involved.
Prince Laurie, no, if King Laurie is smart enough, he shouldn’t be so anxious to princess. Instead, he will hire Princess Sophielia, who has been removed from the post of regent, as his first prime minister. Next, it will take ten or eight years to stabilize your regime, and then it will not be too late to consider the issue of princessization.
Although he was born noble, he was too young.
His temperament hasn't been completely finalized, and his wrists have not been sharpened.
That's right.
When Princess Sophielia was forced to ascend the throne of the regent, it was true that even King Laurie was not as old now, but they grew up in different environments.
Princess Sophielia grew up in a broken blood fort like a military camp, so she was naturally more mature than her peers.
The most important thing is that Grand Duke Cedric stood behind her at the time. Isn't her Knights of the Steel Rose the best proof?
They are all made up of the descendants of the knights of Broken Blood Castle. Princess Sophia’s many decisions in the early years belonged to Grand Duke Cedric’s will. No one can tell. Everyone is just opening one eye and closing one. Only eyes.
King Laurie just wanted to run when he just learned to walk.
It is inevitable to stumble at that time.
King Laurie did not show that he wanted to hire Princess Sophia as his prime minister.
Princess Sophielia, who has suffered from birdyness recently, has no intention to post on her own initiative.
After marrying Sean, he packed up his salutes and influence, and prepared to fully retract his princess fiefdom.
Princess Sophielia is using this method to express her anger.
Having worked hard for the royal family of Lancelot for so many years, she actually got this kind of return, saying that she was not angry or irritated at all in her heart, that was false.
In the next period of time, the running-in with Sean and the Yongye leader will take up most of Sophia's energy.
After working with Yong Ye Jun leader for such a long time, Princess Sophia feels that her knowledge of Yong Ye Jun leader is still in the skin.
To be more precise, the development speed of Yongye Army Leader was far beyond her imagination.
Her understanding is always in a backward state, and she doesn't know what kind of surprises the current leader of Yongye has waiting for her.
Thinking of this, Princess Sophielia was a little excited and eager to try.
Sean and Princess Sophie Liya boarded the Princess Ship together and went upstream along the Jacob River.
First go to the fief of Princess Sophia.
Although the second wedding was not held here, it was changed to a carriage and wandered around the main city.
The main purpose is to inform the citizens of the good news of Princess Sophia’s marriage, and at the same time introduce the host of Earl Sean to the officials and nobles of various cities.
This is a common method used by the Lords and nobles of the Byron Alliance. Whether it is changing a new ruler or a big wedding, some lords will even send their trusted ministers or inspect their own territories after a period of time.
King Laurie, who has just ascended the throne, is also preparing to visit the royal realm.
Doing so, on the one hand, is to let the people below know their new ruler as soon as possible.
On the other hand, it also allows the ruler to have a more intuitive understanding and cognition of the territory and cities under his control.
This refers to the more diligent rulers. Some lords have visited their own territories for only a few times throughout their lives. As for the operating conditions of their territories, one can imagine.
Of course, running frequently in his territory does not mean that his territory is running well.
Some people who like extravagance not only try their best to be extravagant all the way, they also eat, drink, and banquet guests uncontrollably every time they go there. As a result, the financial burden on the place is greatly increased. Some territories have developed well. Let them generate a fiscal deficit.
Whether the method is good or not depends on whose hands it is.
After ten years of remediation, Princess Sophia’s fief has been given a strong personal label.
Here is no longer a pure lords enfeoffment system, but a strong city-state flavor.
The highest decision-makers in the city are no longer the hereditary lord nobles, but the mayor and the municipal system centered on it.
Every municipal system affects more than just a city. Even the surrounding villages and towns will be more or less affected by the relevant policies formulated by it.
For example, if there is a large-scale mineral deposit near a city, the municipal system is mostly resource-based, focusing on mining this deposit.
If a city is suitable for large-scale grape planting, then most of the surrounding areas of the city are mainly grape planting and winemaking.
If it is suitable for large-scale cultivation of grain, they will make every effort to develop grain.
This relatively professional development model is inseparable from the increasingly convenient transportation conditions in recent years.
Only when commodities can be transported can they dare to develop in this way, otherwise they can only let the excess crops rot in the ground.
The leader of Yongye is the main buyer of the crops produced by Princess Sophia’s fief in recent years, and one third of them have been eaten by them.
This situation may continue for a long time in the future.
Although the Yongye Army leader now owns the Donau Plain, it is not an overnight thing to turn this into a granary.
What's more, they have now added a large food consumer.
So far, there have been thirty thousand Kentana barbarians who have been sent to the northern fortresses to be transformed.
It's not that Yongye Army leader doesn't want to speed up the transformation, but that they consume too much food.
The consumption of 30,000 Kentana barbarians can already keep up with the hundreds of thousands of Andes.
The traffic in the northern fortress has always been a big problem, thanks to the fact that the herd on the Colt grassland outside the fortress has grown in size, which can relieve some of the pressure.
The number of Kentana barbarians in the eastern mountains of the Andes Mountains is rapidly increasing. The propaganda team composed of Ancestral Spirit soldiers sent by the Eternal Night Army is very powerful. The Tana barbarian, without any doubt about him, began to go south on a large scale.
Now there are no less than a hundred Kentana barbarians entering the eastern mountains of the Andes Mountains every day.
Yongye Junling is now happy and painful.
Natural warrior races like the Kentana barbarians are loyal after being transformed by means of faith. They naturally hope that the more the better.
But with the influx of them, their logistical supply pressure is increasing.
The number of Kentana Barbarians in Yongye Jun leader alone now exceeds 130,000.
According to the current situation, it is not difficult to break through 200,000, which is basically the same as the number of Kentana Barbarians estimated by the Yongye Army leader at the beginning.
The Kentana barbarians have rough temperament and lack the patience of intensive cultivation. For them, it is more difficult for them to become a snail farmer than hunting giant whales with bare hands.
It is also a violent thing.
Before the Yongye Army leader had enough pastures to house them, their food supplies mainly depended on the Yongye Army leader.
Regardless of what Shaun said, what a bright future Yongyejun led the propaganda.
Feeding their stomachs is the basic premise.
If there is no way to guarantee this, the Kentana barbarians gathered together are a super powder keg, which will blow up the Eternal Night Army.
The princess fief that has established good trade relations is the confidence of the Yongye Army leader in this regard.
Especially after Sean and Princess Sophia got married, the relationship became closer.
Although there is still a long way to go when the distance is integrated, at least there is no need to worry about the other party stumbling from behind.
The municipal system officials of Princess Sophia’s fiefdom were mainly from the nobles of the lord, and the real low-level civilians were rare.
This is determined by the level of education.
In the Byron Alliance, the Lords and Nobles caused far more than the monopoly of power and wealth, but also the monopoly of knowledge.
Many times, common people want to study, not just whether their families can afford it, but also whether there is a way out.
In the eyes of many nobles and nobles, it is an incredible thing to carry out a large-scale popularization of education like the Yongye army leader.
Even if the unprecedented scholars' conference was successfully held in the Port of Brothers of the Evernight Army, many scholars who went to the scholars' conference returned with full rewards and brought back a lot of practical knowledge for their loyal lord.
There are many lords who even eagerly loyal to themselves, promote the universal education of the Yongye Army leader. They believe that this is the sudden rise of the Yongye Army leader. In just a dozen years, they will have the strength to catch up with a leader. The root cause lies.
But judging from the information returned by the Eagle Eyes led by the Yongye Army, after these suggestions were passed to the hands of the noble lord, most of them fell into the sea and were unrestricted.
Those noble lords were not completely unaware of the benefits contained therein, but they also had their own calculations and worries.
In their traditional concept, ordinary people with too much knowledge may become the source of turmoil and affect the stability of their rule.
In their eyes, the stability of family rule is far above the development speed of the territory.
Shaun had to sigh that selfishness is the stumbling block to the development of the territory.
They gave away the technology to shape a better life in vain, and people are still afraid of it.
Fortunately, most scholars are smart people with scholarly persistence.
There is no way to get the support of the noble lords to promote it on a large scale.
I secretly sponsored experiments on my own, especially some new farming techniques. When the experimental results come out, some greedy farm owners will naturally follow up.
Princess Sophielia’s fief was heavily influenced by the leader of Yongye.
Not only farming techniques such as grafting, breeding, and deep burial fertilization can be seen here on a large scale.
Even universal education has a certain scale, and a lot of civilian intellectuals are emerging, breaking the monopoly of the nobility in the administrative system.
The situation of the princess's fief was far more complicated than that of Yongye's army leader.
Compared with the emerging force led by the Yongye Army, the ruling class in the princess's fief is deeply ingrained.
Realizing that his monopoly has been shaken, he instinctively suppressed it.
The emerging civilian intellectual class is obviously not so easy to admit defeat. After being suppressed for so many years, they finally saw the hope of turning over. Naturally, they resisted and struggled vigorously. The more the old nobles suppressed, the more they united and worked harder.
Princess Sophie Liya played a balance in the middle, neither taking the side of the emerging civilian intellectuals one-sidedly, nor allowed the old nobles to use despicable means of competition.
The benefits of this are obvious.
The emerging civilian intellectual class lacks deep foundation and must stand firmly on the side of Princess Sophia, because once they lose the protection of the other side, they will be easily uprooted by the old aristocracy.
The old nobles now have checks and balances, and they dare not challenge Princess Sophielia, because their role is no longer irreplaceable.
Once they are about to go wrong, those emerging civilian intellectuals are willing to replace them.
In order to maintain their status and interests, they can only change their laziness in the past and stick to their posts conscientiously.
Under this circumstance, the power that the old nobles burst out is still not to be glimpsed. After all, they have passed on for so many years, and there is still merit in elite education.
It took more than three months for Sean and Princess Sophia to wander around in the princess fief.
Xiao En had a general understanding of the status of the princess's fief and knew well.
That's it~EbookFREE.me~ In a short time, Sean is not ready to intervene in matters related to the princess fief.
Princess Sophie Liya would not run to the Yongye Army leader to directly control the power now.
Both are sensible and almost cold people. Before they talk about marriage, how can they not discuss the governance of the two territories after they get married.
Compared to ordinary territories, they are more sensitive to this issue.
After all, two very different administrative systems are involved.
Sean believes that the reform of the princess fiefdom is not thorough, and there is huge room for improvement.
Princess Sophia could not fully understand and approve of it. Yongyejun led some administrative ideas, which was too radical in her eyes.
But princess fiefdom has the difficulty of princess fiefdom.
Yongyejun leads the internal contradictions of Yongyejun.
