European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 206 Under Prosperity
"Your Excellency Newland, get up and get ready to go." There was a knock on the door from outside the iron cage. After the manager in charge of the guard got acquainted with the nobles in the prison, his tone was more polite than before. Some people might still work with me, so it can be regarded as a note in advance.

Newland's sleep condition last night was not satisfactory, but this did not prevent him from welcoming a brand new day in high spirits. After cleaning up the night's dust, Newland stepped into the last trial site for an internship.

The Financial Management Bureau is located in the original office of the chamber of commerce, but it has already been specially expanded and added. Most of it has been allocated to the municipal office, and the rest is reserved for the chamber of commerce as an event venue.

Although several high-level managers in charge of the Financial Management Bureau are representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Peijun also has the intention of deliberately supporting his cronies. In the recent personnel changes, he also intentionally or unintentionally promoted the managers of the bottom manor to the Finance Bureau.

Money bags, gun barrels, and dirt should all be held tightly in one's hands.

Under the leadership of Ducasse, Newland entered the door of the Finance Bureau. There are usually few people waiting here. Unlike the office windows on the front line, which are dedicated to serving the people, everything here is to maintain the needs of city management. and established.

At a glance, it seemed that he saw a familiar face, and after confirming it carefully, Newland still couldn't help being curious and wanted to step forward to explain his doubts.

"Wait, who are you and why are you in such a hurry?" Newland's abnormal behavior was stopped by the guard in time. Li Peijun was attracted by the noise. He raised his head and found that it was an old acquaintance, who was facing the guard. He waved: "Let him go. If I remember correctly, Mr. Newland should be an activist. Don't be too wary of him. We will all be a family soon."

Only then did the guard loosen his clenched hands, and Newlandt took two small steps forward, expressing the confusion in his heart, "Dear Lord Harfleur, I'm curious why you have such a huge Wealth, what happened here to cause such earth-shaking changes, please satisfy the curiosity of a humble person."

Li Peijun temporarily put down the work at hand, glanced at it and replied: "Because the city of Hafleur is no longer just a small city, it has been integrated with the surrounding towns. Although the shackles of distance have not been broken, but It’s all a matter of time, sooner or later, there will be a concept of a two-hour economic circle.”

Newland made his own explanation according to the literal meaning: "Do you mean to enrich and improve the living standard in the city by exploiting other places? Just like the city of Rome, under the leadership of a powerful regime, it absorbs a group of cheap Am I right to hire workers from other places to act as builders and rely on taxes from other places to keep the whole system functioning normally?"

The city of Rome is one of the few megacities in the Middle Ages. Unlike Constantinople in Eastern Rome, the agriculture around Rome is not enough to maintain such a large population in the city-state. It can only maintain normal life by relying on continuous blood transfusion from the outside world. In daily life, population migration in Rome is more the result of the influence of politics and religion.

Constantinople is very different. It is located on the main traffic line of Eurasia and across the Bosturus Strait, connecting the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. It is close to a natural golden port. The advantages can be regarded as super first-class.Before Constantine the Great moved his capital, this area had a population of nearly 20 due to the natural convergence of commerce and trade.

Li Peijun shook his head and said: "In fact, this is not the case at all. The integration I mentioned is not the Roman model. The towns in the entire system can be developed as a whole, but the development speed varies according to their respective production conditions. It's just a difference."

After burying his head and reviewing the documents at hand, Li Peijun elaborated on Hafleur's model again, "You can't learn this method. For traditional nobles, inheriting my method is tantamount to changing your own. Fate, those knights who are entrusted to you will join forces to resist and overthrow your rule, in fact, when I took this step, I was also cornered."

"Huh? Harfleur mode? Will it attract knights' resistance? But the scene I saw in the city is quite different from what you described. I don't think any knight has any complaints against you." Newlandt I couldn't turn the corner for a while, and didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words.

"After the fiefdom system, the king entrusted the land to the big nobles, and the big nobles further divided the land to the small nobles and knights. Everyone progressed layer by layer, forming a chain diffusion relationship. This is also a subtle The balanced compromise policy." Li Peijun did not rush to explain, but started to popularize science in a serious manner.

Newland, who came from an aristocratic background, has long been familiar with this system, and Li Peijun did not explain too much, but only briefly explained the difference between himself and the original system. "This approach seems to be happy and harmonious, but in fact it will cause endless troubles. When the blood relationship is estranged, interests will override everything. After some strengths ebb and flow, it is easy to cause unstable factors."

"And my approach is to break this pyramid structure and directly rule and govern all territories. I know this is more troublesome than being a hands-off shopkeeper, but as long as a sufficient number of management talents are cultivated, there will naturally be people who do this kind of work." Work for me."

Li Peijun finally revealed the mystery, Newlander suddenly understood, and then said: "No wonder the lord wants to appease and reform our group of surrendered nobles. After all, compared with ordinary people, advanced nobles with a slightly higher education level can also win If this system can really operate proficiently, it will indeed be no less than a simple feudal enfeoffment."

"In fact, we have already thrown away a few streets. Those lords who live in a hurry will only count the days and enjoy themselves, and we have been studying ways to increase production every day, such as Hafleur's unique food has long attracted many nobles to come here to enjoy it." Li Peijun is not self-effacing anymore, and he still has to boast about himself when the results are in front of him.

However, Li Peijun still kindly suggested: "Hafleur treats everyone equally, and will not give you a side because of your status. For example, if someone uses power for personal gain, of course, he must be dealt with according to the law. Corruption and other despicable things The behavior is even more unforgivable, if a case is found in the city hall, it will be demoted to a civilian and transferred to the court for trial."

Orders and prohibitions are the only way to win the hearts of the people. For the privileged class, the law can be regarded as the last shackles. Newland has a deep understanding of this. When he was in Montivilliers, the nobles committed crimes based on The titles were fined, and some even got away with it. In their eyes, the law is just a tool to restrain the poor.

"Understood, my lord, I will not let you down, and I am willing to dedicate everything to Harfleur." Nuland saluted a standard salute, then walked back to his post and tried to look through the accounts.

Looking at the series of numbers, Newland was convinced that what the lord said was true. This magical system has indeed created infinite vitality for Harfleur.
