Feiqi protected the Earl of Valen and Dart out of the dungeon. The person who was robbing did not know His Majesty the Emperor, but they all knew Valen who had managed the land for many years. When he appeared, everyone became even more panicked, hugging the items in their hands tightly and fled at a faster speed, and had not forgotten to report their location with constant screams.
"Your Majesty, I think these are all people in the village. I must have seen the castle in chaos, so I came to get things. It's not the main evil, so don't kill them."
Feiqi nodded: "You are the owner. If you don't pursue it, I won't interfere directly. But I see that your management ability is average. Your child imprisoned his father and his villagers robbed the lord. Look at them, even though you know you have seen it, they still don't want to put down their things. A few plates and a tablecloth. Look, there is a guy running away with a chair on his head - he ran so fast."
Earl Valen smiled bitterly and said, "These people don't know anything, so you can laugh."
"No matter how hard you don't understand, you will understand that gold and silver are valuable things, but your sons and knights are quicker to start, leaving them with no chance." Feiqi shook his head and said, "You see they don't understand anything, but I think they are still too poor. They are not as strong as your tablecloths. People who attach great importance to pottery plates may even lack soil. There is a saying that poor mountains and rivers come from troubled people. Some places do have bad natural environments, but some places are made bad environments by others."
Feiqi walked out with his grandson and grandson Valen, and a reckless guy rushed over with a box in his arms. He probably didn't see the way ahead clearly. "Be careful!" Dart quickly reminded him, and then he saw the "Your Majesty" swaying his right hand, and the reckless man fell because of the greasy area suddenly appeared under his feet. The box hit him on his head, knocking him out with a thud. The box opened, revealing all kinds of clothing inside.
"Dart, go and see if there are any suitable clothes for you. I have to wait for the working group here anyway." Feiqi and Valen stood at the gate of the castle, so that they could not only look outside but also protect the child. "Valen, my people come here later. You will introduce them to the local situation in detail and hand over the matter here. I will ask them to find someone to escort you to Tawugang City. I asked Shani to come forward to settle a few of you nobles who surrendered in advance and arranged residences not far from the Shaqi Manor. The golden dragon egg is a priceless treasure in Yongli Continent. I know he is very precious, but I can only give you 20,000 gold coins. Are you willing to take this money or invest, and I will earn a fortune for your grandson in the future?"
The Earl of Valen may not have made any achievements in terms of people and rule, but is very sensitive in the field of money. Even though he knows that he does not have much capital for negotiation now, he would rather continue to pay care and caution for every penny. "Your Majesty, we both must need some money to live in the short term, but I also want to hear what this investment is? If you suggest me to invest, then I will participate."
"The United Kingdom of the Hoya nobles is too poor, and there are no developed and wealthy countries in the entire Yongli continent, but the status quo of my Revi Magic Empire must be completely changed. If you want to enhance the strength of the empire, you must invest, including building bridges, building roads, water conservancy construction, education and magic, so I will set up an institution affiliated to the treasury to handle this matter in detail."
"Your Majesty, I generally think...I mean that most ordinary people think that building roads is a loss of money. Why have you been persistent? Since the Minas Ishir era, building roads and growing potatoes have become labels for you. Can you still make money in this kind of thing?"
"It is difficult to make a profit, very difficult. But it is very simple in terms of improving the country's capabilities and total wealth." Feiqi said: "The only way to make such a profit is to make the people of the country rich and make the country stronger, so that it can be profitable. This requires an organization that can represent the entire country and all citizens to coordinate. The nobles cannot do it, so I want to eliminate the entire aristocratic class."
Feiqi looked at the Earl of Valen, and after some calculation, decided to try to convince him. Feiqi believed that unlike other surrendered nobles, Gunter Valen and his grandson had no family and subordinates, and they had to rely more on themselves than others. If he could convince him to understand his ideas, the Valen family would be beneficial to transform the old nobles and old knights themselves, so that they could serve the new empire. In any case, it would be much better to make these guys who were "eliminated" by themselves do serious things than to make them turn into robbers by instinct.
"Andrew wants to build a King's Avenue from Tawu Harbour City to Feinberg, and pass through our Hall family's manor castle and lighthouse leader. Eddie is responsible for this. First, this can greatly strengthen the cohesion of the United Kingdom of Hoya. Second, if there is something happening in Feinberg or the western border, the king's main force can quickly rush to support, and third, it is to improve transportation capacity, prosper business, and collect taxes. This is a matter of making money, and it is the king's order to pay money from the treasury, but it has only been repaired from Tawu Harbour City to our Hall family's manor."
"Every lord of the territory along the way is opposed to this matter, either openly or secretly. They do not want the road on their territory that allows Andrew's army to enter quickly. Eddie was right. She thought that these nobles wanted to live in the jungle. Only the paths that local people knew could enter would be safe. Tell me, for such nobles, should the entire United Kingdom of Hoya be stronger or return to the primitive world, and should everyone go up the mountain to hunt?"
Earl Valen's face twitched slightly. He actually belonged to the "nobles" who were not interested in road construction. Feiqi did not reveal it and continued: "In fact, everyone knew in his heart that what cavalry could reach in one day was called the area held in the palm of his hand; what could arrive in three days was the area on the back of his hand; what could arrive in ten days was the area that could reach in ten days was the area that could reach in one month was the area that was difficult to manage; what could not reach in half a year was almost difficult to manage, and people had to manage it. It was everyone who understood this principle, so they would adopt the same standard: they could arrive in one day or three days, and make it as difficult for others to reach as possible, thereby ensuring their own rule."
"This situation must end, and it is time to end," said Feiqi. "You all know that I can teleport. In an instant, I can go anywhere in the Yongli continent. According to the previous theory, the whole world is within the palm of my hand. The only problem is whether I have enough combat power to hold my hand. Now that this has been proven, I will start to build my hand. At the beginning, the nobles said that I was arrogant, and in essence, my hand was too big, beyond their imagination. Now, someone can finally integrate within the scope of one hand and coordinate all forces. Those fragmented obstacles were removed, and they wanted to move away obstacles that would only cause waste. Then it would be profitable to build infrastructure such as roads and bridges."
"At the same time, magic will be the next place to create wealth, it can accomplish many very magical things. Minas Ishir can develop, and the preservation ice library I made with magic has played an important role, and the commercial teleportation array has proved that magic can produce stable returns. In Tawugang City, eating fresh fish is never difficult. In the future, ordinary people in Feinberg and even more inland areas will be able to eat the same fresh fish. How great is that!"
Earl Valen couldn't keep up with Fitch's thoughts, and he asked, "But why do people there eat fish in the sea?"
Hearing this question, Feiqi clenched his fists and frowned. Why do ordinary people eat fish? Will they not have such demand in the mainland? A country without circulation is like a person with blood clotting, either a zombie or a dead body, and it will definitely not be able to jump around. Earl Valen has enough food and drink. He not only has clay plates, but also porcelain, silver, and gold. The food contained in it is also varied, so naturally there is no need to think about how the people below live. Perhaps in his opinion, as long as the people below live and continue to farm and work for him, there is no need to worry about the others.
The nobles will never take the initiative to propose a plan to make the residents of their territory richer. "Why eat fish" is not because of their thinking ability, but because of their thinking direction. Feiqi can actually answer this question very simply, that is, to hit him with one punch and knock him down, and he will think. But think about it again, isn't this the reason why the nobles of the feudal should be eliminated? Why be angry with these eliminated ones?
He let go of his fists, calmed down his emotions, and said, "You can't just eat potatoes, right? Potatoes have good adaptability and have advantages in current yields. As long as you pay attention to storing them well, you can indeed avoid famine. But people always have to pursue them. In addition to potatoes, they also want bread, and after eating vegetable soup, they will also want broth. Everyone has the desire to make themselves live a better life and work hard for it, and the country will become stronger."
"The goddess teaches us that greed can cause depravity. Your Majesty, greedy nations will affect your rule, and they will easily become robbers and empty your castle. Of course, they cannot affect you, and your power is unrivaled."
Valen spoke frankly, saying whatever he thought, and finally knew how to make up for it, and was not unfamiliar with this approach. "The goddess said a lot, and if she only picked a few words, I could give different explanations for the same thing. The standard of greed or not is not determined by the church's mouth, but to look at specific things. I have seen the goddess. She was very flexible in handling things and tolerated by me, a troublemaker, and treated me according to my actions rather than my origin. What's strange is that the church never does this, and it seems that they don't want to do this. Alas, I hope the church can change with the times."
In addition to the nobles, the church is actually an obstacle to Feich's realization of her ideals, but this obstacle can still be saved and can still be transformed into a favorable factor, which is not as good as it needs to be eradicated. The Goddess' Kingdom of God still protects the space boundaries of the Yongli continent, and the continuous power of faith is the necessary energy to maintain the Kingdom of God. This requires stable believers and organized faith activities, which is the value of the church. I hope that the current Archbishop will not make subversive mistakes, otherwise Feich will not be merciless. But his original heart does not want to see the truth of the Goddess of Thunder's Church destroyed.
"It is difficult to change the church, but it is not too difficult to change the bishop. Many nobles are donors of the church. They have good relationships with specific bishops, which can improve the attitude of the church to a certain extent. Your Majesty, I can take the lead in letting the new Revi...the magic empire quickly establish a good relationship with the church."
Feiqi wanted to sigh. It turned out that in the hearts of these nobles, the church was still the most powerful, but he was still the weak. Valen was not concerned about building a country and had no initiative. He should think that this empire belonged to Feiqi Hall and had little to do with him. However, it was not like this when dealing with the church. It was beneficial, power, and protection. Especially the words "The goddess taught us..." that the church often spoke, in Feiqi's opinion, as long as he read enough books, this sentence was just another meaning of "I will tell you..."
"In the future, it will be a world of man, not God. People must be responsible for themselves, others, and the world. I will deal with the relationship with the church myself, and there is no need for other leaders." Feiqi decided to give the Earl of Valen a last chance: "What we said is a bit far from the original topic. We were going to talk about 20,000 gold coins, so why did we talk about the church? This social planning management will simply be understood as a national guild. Are you willing to invest in it?"
Earl Valen gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, we have no relatives, are enemies, and we need to use money to stay with us. I am willing to invest 2,000...5,000 gold coins to go to this guild."
Feiqi was about to nod his head in disappointment when he heard Dat Valen say, "Your Majesty, what Grandpa said is his half of the money, and I have half of it, all of them are invested in, a total of 15,000 gold coins. If you get the five thousand gold coins, you will still live in the place you arranged in Tawugang City. You will definitely be able to eat, drink and be safe."
"Eh?" Earl Valen was stunned for a moment, and then noticed the slight smile that had just appeared on Feich's face, and couldn't help but be frightened. He suddenly understood many joints, and while enduring the sweat, he decided to conduct the final test: "Your Majesty, my grandson is right. I was thinking just now that we two cannot maintain this castle. Can we sell it directly at a discount and participate in the social planning management association. Or I rent it out and invest in the annual rent."
"No, I don't want it. Ten thousand five thousand gold coins are already a lot." Feiqi shook his head: "All nobles who surrendered in advance invested at most 10,000 gold coins in this management committee. I decided to make an exception because you two are lonely. The shares in this will gradually become diluted and redeemed. If there is no other contribution, there will be no shares in a hundred years. So you... I mean Xiao Dart, you still have to work hard to develop and continue your family, and don't be unknown after a hundred years."
Dart nodded vigorously, not knowing whether he really understood or was too spiritual and lucky. In short, Earl Valen hugged him hard, thanking him for his adaptability from the bottom of his heart.
Not long after, the team of nearly fifty people in the working group gradually approached. Their flags and horse teams collided with the robbers who were evacuating the mountain and directly dispersed them. Feiqi used illusion to fire a red firework into the sky, which was a signal that the castle came to receive safely. Whether it could completely occupy this area depends on the ability of the working group. They will face the excited residents and the old nobles who wandered outside and could be brave at any time. Of course, Feiqi would support them at any time, and the Knights of Hell is also a strong guarantee for the working group.
