Once cheap agricultural and industrial products become popular, they will undoubtedly have an impact on the current social form of the empire. Even if there is a barbarian market to help digest these products, a large number of farmers will definitely go bankrupt.

Theoretically speaking, the current productivity of the empire is enough to provide them with food and clothing, but such a large number of unemployed people is always a ticking time bomb.With the help of Xiaoxi's computing power, Yiwen and his courtiers have researched and found that there are currently three methods:

First, engage in military expansion, pull all idle personnel into the barracks, and centralize management.

Second, engage in colonial expansion, use the model of collective farms, let unemployed people enrich the border defense, and expand the territory.

Third, carry out compulsory education, get the unemployed into schools as soon as possible, distribute salaries according to the quality of their grades, and spend money to beg them to study!

Ivan thought about it again and again, and felt that before the evil disaster was completely eliminated, external expansion could not be carried out for the time being.Otherwise, when fighting abroad, a wave of evil disasters suddenly broke out in the country, and the internal and external attacks would definitely lead to catastrophe.

As for pulling all the idle personnel into the barracks... the previous military reform has been completed - all young people of the right age who have reached the age of 20 must undergo a medical examination, as long as the indicators of the physical examination are lowered a little, and all of them are pulled in. .

Compulsory education is very necessary, but this can't be rushed for the time being, we have to wait for the first batch of students from Imperial University to graduate.As for the collective farms, let’s forget it for the time being. The current population pressure of the empire is not great. When it will expand to [-] million people, it will be the truth to export it to the outside world.

one-one-one-one

After solving the problem of the unemployed population, taking into account the long-term development, Ivan began to have another headache - about the empire's administrative program and the degree of organization of officials.

If a regime wants to develop for a long time, it will definitely not work without a political program. In the past, Menis was a feudal agricultural country. The short-term political program was basically to deal with a certain barbarian, and the long-term political program was to rule for the sake of ruling.It is definitely not possible to continue to do this, because the empire will soon compete with interstellar civilizations in the future, and it will definitely be defeated if it has been waiting to die like this.

As for the degree of organization of officials, this issue is also very important.

Comrade Lenin in his previous life was a great revolutionary leader because he created the Red Party, the vanguard of the working class, and organized the proletariat across the country.Only then did the proletariat have the power to overwhelm the bourgeoisie and the remnants of feudalism. If there hadn’t been the Red Party, the vanguard of the working class, the fruits of the revolution would have been stolen by the feudal restoration forces.

A political party with conviction, organization, and ideals possesses energy that Ivan has deeply experienced from the textbooks in his previous life.Compared with the current group of self-care bureaucrats in the empire, it is simply the gap between a phoenix and a grass chicken, and it is not at the same level at all.

After having a headache for a while, with the help of Xiaoxi, Yiwen decided to imitate the political program of his previous life, Porcelain Kingdom: the primary program is to eliminate civil strife, defeat evil disasters, and establish domestic peace; overthrow the oppression of the invaders, and achieve the complete independence of Menis subjects ; and then further create conditions to realize the highest program of the empire: eliminate poverty, eliminate birth, old age, sickness and death, and eradicate all kinds of secular oppression and suffering: with the Sun King as the core leader, gradually build a kingdom of God on earth.

This program is completely centered on him, so it requires extremely high personal strength, but the advantage is that it is very attractive to any class, and it will not get burned.After Yiwen made the official announcement in the Hall of the King of Power, he has been welcomed by many officials—to eliminate birth, old age, sickness and death, eradicate worldly suffering, and build a kingdom of God on earth. Even if it is a little far away, this kind of thing is worth looking forward to.

However, their welcome is not very useful. These people will definitely not be able to adapt to the system of interstellar civilization, and will inevitably be abandoned by the times.

Ivan needs a new bureaucratic organization to govern the country for him, and these people are naturally in the Imperial University!So, he asked Xiaoxi to instill this kind of thought into the students in various ways-as long as these people accept his program, they will become the vanguard of building the kingdom of God on earth, completely squeezing the old age bureaucratic power.

In view of the tragedy of his previous life, in order to ensure the purity of the vanguard, he also planned to add the mechanical life he created to the empire.Let them be your eyes and ears to monitor and cleanse possible future corrupt ones.

Yiwen knew very well in his heart that for mechanical life, he was the master, the father, and the irreversible creator.It is also difficult for them to reach an alliance of interests with human beings—when they are used as an army, they are the most loyal army, and when they are used as a discipline inspection committee, they are also the most competent discipline inspection committee.

Chapter 37 Family Banquet

In the middle of the night, a huge moon was hanging in the sky, and an osprey with jet-black feathers retracted its wings, swept across the blue sky, and landed on the crown of an evergreen tree.He raised his long and narrow neck, turned his head, and looked at the Temple of Hades deep in the woods.This is the outskirts of the royal city of Ekhtadun. The wilderness and mounds form a flat landform, and the ancient evergreen forests cover the ground with a dense layer of shade.

Woo-woo-!

A black off-road vehicle drives along a flat rammed earth road in the forest.Ozzy held the steering wheel, hummed rhythmless music, and enjoyed the thrill of driving fast.He could see from the car window that the tributary of Mirror Lake was roaring deep in the woods. It sounded like a long dragon lurking in the vast forest.

This rammed-earth road has only two lanes, one back and one back, and because of its remote location, there is only one black off-road vehicle driving along the way.In addition to countless evergreen trees, Oz is accompanied only by the huge moon in the sky, which makes people feel unreal.

Yeah, it's really unreal.

Obviously, just half a year later, the Menesian Empire, which was in decline in the past, suddenly became stronger.Not only do I no longer worry about eating, but the quality of life is also improving rapidly.Especially in Wangcheng, every household has been connected to electricity and clean tap water—compared with before, this is simply a paradise-like life.

There are also many cheap and useful products on the market, such as kerosene lamps, matches, towels, gauze, plastic products, etc. These seemingly inconspicuous goods have brought a lot of convenience to life.In addition, there are many good things that are beyond ordinary people's understanding. For example, the off-road vehicle he drives only costs [-] new coins.It soars as fast as the wind, and the fuel is as cheap as water, which is much cheaper than raising a chocobo.

All thanks to His Majesty Ivan!

Ozzy's heart is full of sincerity and enthusiasm, and he is extremely grateful to this patriarch who has brought him a good life: before the other party came to power, he lived a life of selling private salt to subsidize his family.After he came to power, he was granted grace to join the Holy Order, and the annuity and salary combined were too much to know how to spend.

Thank God Atum for sending a great leader to this aging empire, completely reversing its declining fate... As long as there is that His Majesty, the future Menis will definitely become better!

The reason why Ozzy drove to the suburbs at this moment was that he was invited by the 'Great Leader' to attend a family reunion.

Compared with the previous cold queen, this king pays more attention to family affection and is happy to see the power of the royal family thrive.But not all crooked melons and jujubes can be recognized by the king. Only those who show potential will be treated as relatives by him.

All in all, regardless of blood relationship, as long as you have the ability, you will be reused.

Since Ozzy joined the Crusaders, he has performed very well, and the Sun Golden Scripture has also reached the level of the second-level peak, which is why he is eligible to attend the banquet.

Since it was the first time for him to participate in a family banquet in his own name, he was very excited and tossed and turned for most of the night without falling asleep.After finally surviving until the afternoon, when he got on the off-road vehicle and stepped on the accelerator, he almost flew towards Wang Ting.Fortunately, halfway through, I suddenly remembered that the venue for the banquet was the Temple of Hades, otherwise I would have made a big fool of myself today.

……

Half an hour later, Ozzy first heard the sound of approaching water, and then saw a turbulent river. He slowly stepped on the brakes, and the high-speed off-road vehicle slowed down slowly.The magnificent temple complex appeared on the opposite side of the river as if rising from the woods. In front of it was a majestic rigid arch bridge, spanning both sides of the river and leading to the square of the Temple of Hades.

The slender arch ribs of the bridge form the main arch, and the buildings on the arch are in the form of rigid slanted legs, and are connected as a whole—the splashing water from the river forms a dense white mist, and the bridge seems to be built high on the clouds. As in the above, each steel column has patterns on the surface, and the bridge deck is wide enough for two off-road vehicles to run side by side.

The construction level of this bridge has surpassed the technology of the old age, and it is located in this deserted place. It is hard to believe that it is a human building, and it is a kind of miracle.

The off-road vehicle drove on the bridge deck of the rigid arch bridge, as if driving in the clouds.Ozzy also stopped humming now, for the water was rumbling under the bridge.At the end of the bridge, the steel gates piled up in the shape of an animal's mouth have been opened, and the temple guards in white military uniforms covered with metal armor salute to Ozzy - obviously they have already known who is sitting in this car, if not For approved vehicles, the cannons on both sides of the bridge should have fired long ago.

"It's a great ruin."

The closer Oz gets to the Temple of Hades, the more he is shocked by its simplicity and splendor. Traces from ancient times to the present can be found on it, like the epitome of the Menesian Empire spanning thousands of years.

It's hard to imagine how this building, which has been bathed in wind and rain for thousands of years, stands today. Even with the technology that Oz understands now, it is almost impossible to build a building that will not fall down for thousands of years—ancient construction What a great power was used in the Temple of Hades.

……

Driving into the square of the temple, Ozzy followed the instructions of the temple guards, received a parking sticker, and drove his beloved off-road vehicle into the parking lot.

Ascending along the wide steps, César followed the guard's guidance and stepped into the huge terrace on the left side of the square.This terrace is located in a prominent position in the temple area, but its style is very different from the rest of the temple's architectural style - spire, double-layer structure, marble sculptures, huge mosaic glass windows, and the whole terrace seems to be floating in the clouds. Standing on top of a white stone body without any trace of carving.The lower circle is full of white beam masters. The column height is very high, giving people the feeling of a suspended palace. It is not overwhelmed by those exquisite temple-like buildings because of its simplicity.

"..."

The red carpet was thrown all the way up the spiral staircase to the terrace, and Ozzy strode forward without arranging his uniform with his hands.At this time, the starry night party on the terrace is ready, the pale white flowers are blooming on the palm book, and the cool air is filled with a unique fragrance.The white stone seal in the pool is spitting clear water, and the thick red carpet spreads along the flat terrace.

The waiters came and went with trays, and the wine in the glasses was crystal clear, reflecting the moonlight.The boy in the close-fitting vertical stripe robe and the girl in the delicate short pleated skirt stood together with their mother, talking softly - the boy looked around curiously, and the girl pulled her mother's long skirt and timidly shrank behind it.

Everything is so warm and peaceful, so happy.

Everyone noticed the new guest and turned their heads to look over.

"We're all our own people, so there's nothing to be nervous about." Oz told himself in a low voice, "I'm a glorious soldier of the Paladin Army...a personal soldier of His Majesty the Sun King."

"It's the squadron leader of the Crusaders, Ozzy. I heard that he is very popular with His Majesty." Someone realized Ozzy's identity, and now he is no longer an unknown person among the royal family.

"I heard that the benefits of the Crusaders are very good. The monthly salary is almost as high as the annuity, and once they are released, they will be high-ranking officials."

"That's really amazing. Only the royal family with the most cultivation talent can become the Crusaders."

"He's still wearing a sword..."

The whispers quickly subsided. After all, he was an acquaintance. Members of the royal family knew enough about him, so there was no need to pay too much attention to him.People turned their attention back to their own conversations, and the happy atmosphere was still there.

Ozzy stood in the corner, took a narrow wine glass from the waiter, took a sip of the liquid, and glanced at this peaceful and happy scene, feeling a little dazed.

"Hey! Long time no see!" A familiar voice suddenly came from my ears.
