Chapter 336(1/2)
The spy who wants to work hard
With the implementation of the three-year plan, various messy problems have been summarized one after another.
The most eye-catching thing is the issue of religion. The influence of the Holy See at the upper level of the Kingdom was cleared out in the game between royal power and the divine power, but its influence at the lower level did not decrease at all.
It turns out that when the territory is small, this problem is not obvious. After all, crazy believers are still very few and cannot make any waves.
Now, the situation has changed. With the rapid growth of the territory's population, the number of crazy believers has also increased, and even entered the grassroots management team.
Hudson was not in a hurry to take action, and religious issues were never solved overnight. The people at the bottom who were struggling on the brink of death must not be without faith.
Referring to the practices of other nobles, they all turn people from the local church into their own people, thereby achieving full control of the territory.
Before this, Hudson also played like this. However, the number of priests in the mountain ranks was too small and they had no time to go deep into the people.
"Maybe the doctrine should be revised!"
He muttered, and when it was time to take practical actions, Hudson stopped again.
This kind of thing is not qualified to be launched by a lord. Looking at the entire continent, only those who have the courage and ability to launch further religious reforms are Charles III and Caesar III who are anti-Holy See.
After hesitating for a while, Hudson decided not to rush to take action. The current situation in the kingdom is not optimistic, and Caesar III's physical condition is worrying, so it is obviously not suitable for big moves.
Charles III is very young and strong, but this person is too far away from Hudson and cannot even exert influence.
Combined with his actions, Hudson felt that he did nothing and Charles III would launch a new round of religious reforms.
There is only one overlord within the human race, and the Frank Kingdom and the Holy See have long been turned on. If the foundation of the Holy See is not overturned, the Frank Kingdom's status within the human race will not be stable.
In Hudson's view, the establishment of the Arcane Academy was the first shot by Charles III to launch the anti-Holy See movement.
The Reformation has always started with emancipating the mind. If there were no gods, with the current negative image of the Holy See, all countries have the basis to launch a comprehensive religious reform.
Considering the existence of the Lord of Dawn, everyone is inevitably a little timid in their actions. The actions they take must also be insisted on: anti-Holy See, not against the gods.
Limit struggle to the framework of infighting among believers.
At present, the actions of major forces against the Holy See are all trying to divide the church, but they have not directly attacked the doctrine.
After hesitating for a while, Hudson began to write quickly. The Anti-Holy See Base Camp of Arcane Academy, such as the Arcane Academy, must be established.
The Mountain Lord did not have the ability to establish an Arcane Academy, but the Kingdom of Alpha had it. If the matter was not implemented while Caesar III was in power, the successors would probably not have such courage.
Once the Arcane Academy took root in the Kingdom of Alpha, someone would do the tampering with the doctrine, and Hudson didn't need to be the first to be a pioneer.
He stated all kinds of pros and cons, and when he saw that there was no omission and was about to seal it, Hudson suddenly changed his face and secretly scolded himself for being stupid. He immediately released a fireball technique to burn the secret letter.
There is no way, Caesar III is not a good master to fool. He actually wanted to use him as a gun, and he really thought the king was easy to bully?
Hudson dared to bet that if his letter was delivered to Caesar III and the establishment of the Arcane Academy in the Future, he would be one of the founders.
If you want to refuse, you can't find a suitable reason. You can only fill in the holes you dug by yourself.
Deep down in his heart, Hudson was still a little nervous. At this moment, he suddenly understood why the great nobles didn't like the hero.
The king is too smart. Although he handles internal and external affairs in an orderly manner, it is not easy to fool him!
If he was not careful, he did not fool the king, so he dug a hole and buried himself.
I guess the great nobles in the kingdom have suffered a lot in the past years. As they were cheated, everyone learned their lessons and became peaceful.
After thinking through all this, Hudson immediately decided to transform his ideas and secretly sent someone to promote the benefits of establishing an Arcane Academy. It would be better to avoid it if he came to the scene in person.
No one knows whether it can succeed. Now it depends on who will be the first to be able to get involved and jump out to promote the establishment of the Arcane Academy to attract hatred.
It's all caused by geopolitics. If he was an inland lord, he would do this and Hudson would never be timid.
However, he is a coastal lord. If he pulls too much hatred, he will face bloody revenge from the Holy See when he enters the ocean in the future.
"Tom, send someone to inform Kane, Jacob, Rudolph... to come over to discuss matters in the evening."
Hudson ordered.
"Okay, Count!"
While speaking, Tom outside the door had turned around and left.
The only change is that there are two big words on the parchment paper on Hudson's desktop - Avoid impatience.
Although Hudson had never said anything about success, he was still a little proud in his heart.
If you are proud, you will be so obedient. Unconsciously, Hudson found that he had become "impatient" and almost did the stupid thing of using the king as a gun.
Fortunately, I reacted in time, otherwise I would have cheated myself to death sooner or later.
As a new nobleman, there were many people staring at him. Although he seemed to have a good relationship with everyone now, once a fatal flaw was exposed, he would be eaten immediately.
Who made him too young?
If all forces are not afraid of it, then there will be problems.
The failure to take action was that Hudson sold many favors during the war, and no one wanted to bear the infatuation of ungratefulness. In a short period of time, everyone was embarrassed to take action.
In addition, there is no conflict of interest with most nobles, so they do not need to act as a leader and make wedding dresses for others.
Several companies with conflicts of interest happened to be seriously injured in the war and did not have time to find his bad luck.
After finally ushering in a period of peaceful development, I did not calm down to develop my territory and pragmatically build the foundation, but instead went to stir up the storm and sent myself into the whirlpool of the storm. Wouldn't it be self-destruction?
Hudson was reflecting, but the mountain lord was very lively. Since his wedding, it seemed that he had opened the valve, and the Koslo family married one after another with nobles from all over the country.
Although they are only children of a sideline, and some of them have never found a title for three or five generations, this does not affect their marriage with the little nobles outside under the banner of the Koslo family.
Of course, there are barriers to participating in marriage. At least you have to become a knight first and show certain potential.
If he was nothing, the Koslo family had so many people, Baron Redman would not have time to arrange for them.
It is impossible to arrange the program, because it is not a marriage, but a marriage between people. Unless it is a reunion, the object of a noble marriage must be a noble, which is the most basic principle.
As a child of a large family, as long as he becomes a knight, he can get a knight title.
Earls like Hudson have the right to enthrone the lower class aristocrats. However, such aristocrats are vassals who are exclusively belonging to the great nobles.
There is no accident. Hudson will not be stingy with a short title when dealing with his own people, but there is no need to think about the fiefdom.
Unless he made great contributions, he would not divide his territory and serve as a fief for his subordinates.
Not only Hudson, but also the great nobles on the continent, did this. The guys who wanted to split the territory were eliminated by history in the competition in the aristocratic world.
He arranged marriages for his family's children every day, and Baron Redman was about to become an exclusive matchmaker. He was busy, but when he saw the family flourishing, he was in a good mood.
This kind of good mood did not last long and slowly disappeared. Under the background of a good match, the children of the family found suitable marriage partners, but no one cared about his two youngest sons.
There were originally three, but one of them was kicked out of the house early and ignored by him.
Although the two who stayed by their side were not old, they were still a little embarrassed if they were not interested. If they wanted to take the initiative, they could not find a suitable target.
Logically speaking, as a direct member of the Koslo family, the count's younger brother could consider marrying the great nobles.
Unfortunately, the two youngest sons have a bit awkward identity. It would be fine if they don’t have the same mother as Hudson, but their mother is not a noble family.
Just this one cut off the possibility of marriage with the great nobles. After all, everyone needs face to live in the circle. With the current situation of the Koslo family, it is not enough to let everyone down.
Not only the great nobles cannot reach it, but even the middle nobles are not interested. Even Baron Redman revealed his intention to marry, he was only willing to introduce children from the remote branch.
After all, before marriage, people also had to conduct background checks. After figuring out the relationship between the two and the head of Hudson, they were directly judged that they had no value in marriage.
The little nobleman who went further down didn't care much about these things, but Baron Redman was a little unwilling to accept it. To be precise, Mrs. Anna was unwilling to accept it and blew the wind beside her pillow every day.
"How is it, Master?"
Hearing the question, Redman responded angrily: "What else can you do? I've been rejected again!
Forget it, let’s talk about it in a few years. Anyway, they are not old enough, so it’s okay to delay for a few years.
I am usually busy, so when you have nothing to do, urge them to practice more. If you can practice as a great knight before the age of twenty, you will not have to worry about not having a good marriage."
He was rejected one after another, and Redman no longer had any fantasies about the marriage of his two youngest sons.
The so-called practice of becoming a great knight before the age of twenty is purely a painting cake. Looking at the history of the Koslow family, only Hudson has appeared.
No matter where you are, there are only a few geniuses in cultivation, and most of them are just ordinary people.
"Master, I will urge them to practice, but..."
Before Mrs. Anna could finish her words, she was forced to interrupt by Redman and said, "There are not so many, but there is nothing perfect in this world.
If it doesn't work, then lower the standard. Even the boss and the second brother didn't go up to climb high, so why can't they put them on!"
It is obvious that in Redman's eyes, the three sons in front of him are still heavier.
Even if you give your younger son more love, it is based on leisure and leisure. Unless the following two small ones have past performances, it is difficult to change.
"Master, otherwise Hudson would come forward and help..."
Before he finished speaking, Redman changed his face and scolded him: "Shut up! Ignorance and stupid woman, are you going to marry someone or make enemies?
Since ancient times, marriage has been a good match for two surnames, so how can one force a marriage?
Stop this, if I hear it again, hum!"
The angry eyes scared Mrs. Anna. Reason told her that Redman was really angry.
During the 20 years since the two got married, Redman had only a handful of scenes of such anger, and every time he got angry, something big happened.
To be continued...
