Astral Traveler [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 45 The Breath of Frost
From 622 to 624 in the Gregorian calendar, it was the first "three-year plan" announced by King Gaius I.
After this talented and generous king really took control of the political center of the country, he promulgated many laws successively, which had a huge and far-reaching impact on the country and future generations.
Economically, he promulgated the Poor Law and the Land Conservation Law to protect and develop the country's agriculture, to develop the new wool textile industry and other new handicraft industries, and to encourage foreign trade, and actively expand the overseas market of the country's handmade products.In addition, he appointed businessmen as his ministers for the first time, and made legislation to intervene in social and economic reforms many times, fostering a number of state-monopoly business groups.
Culturally, he is open-minded and magnanimous, promising certain freedom of speech to people from all walks of life.It was rumored that the king himself also loved music and art, which set off a wave of Renaissance in Floda, which led to the development of literature, fine arts and other fields.At the same time, he vigorously developed education, actively introduced professionals from overseas, and successively built many public schools and libraries across the country.
In the military, he reorganized the two legions, set up detailed classifications of the arms, and vigorously supported the development of military technology, set up the Military Weapons Bureau and the Minister of Military Aircraft, and established a separate legislative and regulatory agency for the military. Everything is heading towards the planned "war machine" direction development.
Diplomatically, he actively established diplomatic relations with Valilius in the west, and at the same time allowed the Holy See to conduct limited missionary activities in the country for the first time, thereby maintaining a friendly trade relationship with Thanaland in the east.The Silk Road he ordered to build connected the entire Northland and had an important impact on the trade between several countries.
In 625 Gregorian calendar, the capital of Vloda accommodated a total population of more than 200 million, becoming the world's leading super metropolis.
The well-connected roads, reasonable public facilities, and clean sanitation conditions have made the capital a "brilliant city" that people say, attracting a large number of nobles and businessmen, and also causing a huge premium for the land in this city. It's unbelievable.
But despite this, there are still countless speculators flocking towards the capital like moths to a flame.
A few days ago, Floda's most popular local product is neither the smooth and unmatched specialty silk, nor the multifunctional knife produced by the Armament Bureau, but the portrait of the king.
Like Gaius I's wisdom, his beauty is also talked about.
As long as it is claimed to be his appearance, whether it is an oil painting, a tapestry, a statue, or a badge, a handkerchief, or an ornament, it can attract a certain amount of attention in the market.
Over time, this has become a unique specialty of Wangdu.
A well-known artist in Floda is famous overseas for his "Statue of the King". His sculpture of Gaius I fetched a sky-high price of 12 gold coins at auction, and it is said that it was finally bought by the Duke of Thistle in the West Country.
This incident is still used as a source of discussion today, saying that the king's beauty has created at least tens of millions of economic value.
So much so that one day, Murphy said to his chief minister very depressedly: "I should set up a portrait tax, and anyone who sells products related to me must pay me a sum of money."
The chief minister also joked with him: "If that's the case, Your Majesty, you will soon become a multi-millionaire."
Murphy smiled, ready to move on to the next topic.
For a while, the courtiers below were dazzled, but they were all used to it, adjusted their expressions one after another, and returned to the rhythm of the discussion.
Behind Murphy, the loyal dog knight looked at the half-feathered feather mask the king was wearing today, and silently remembered: This mask is useless, change it!
The focus of the day's discussion was on the economic crisis in the Western Kingdom of Valilius.
Three years ago, Murphy and Duke Thistle signed the "Gold Purchase Agreement", promising that he would sell a certain amount of gold to the West Country at a fixed price.
In order to sell these gold purchase certificates, the Jihua family caused a lot of trouble in the West Country, and finally the spoils were divided reasonably.Due to the fixed price, the Minister of Finance of the West Country printed 100 million banknotes at the first time, preparing to smash the door of Floda with coins.
But when these aristocratic gentlemen came to Floda's country to buy gold with certificates in hand, they were told that the gold mine had not yet resumed operation, and that gold could only be supplied in limited quantities.
Just when everyone was trying their best to get the priority supply of gold and grab enough benefits, they didn't have due vigilance to a fact: Valilius' currency has been depreciating.
In the first year alone, the tile depreciated by more than 20%.By 625, the tile currency had depreciated from 20 coins per catty of wheat flour to 200 coins, and it was not necessarily possible to buy a catty of coarse wheat.
But now, the workers buy a month's rations with their wages in their pockets. From the time they go out to the market, the money in their hands is only enough for seven days.
During this period, the country's credibility has also been continuously frustrated.
In contrast, Floda's handicraft industry showed a trend of super-high-speed development. Their newly developed satin cloth occupied almost the world's cloth market, and went south through the Silk Road, dumping a large amount to the western country.Under the ebb and flow, Xiguo's handicraft industry suffered a devastating blow, and it has never recovered since then, and a trade deficit occurred, which caused the Xiguo's economy to suffer great losses.
The Western Kingdom had to issue a policy to restrict the entry of Floda's goods, which caused dissatisfaction among a large number of merchants and aristocrats, and now there is a lot of noise in the country.
On this day, after Floda's discussion ended, Murphy left Marcus, the head of the Eagle family, behind.
To be honest, Marcus watched Xiguo fall to this point day by day.
He also saw with his own eyes how Murphy coaxed the young Duke of Planning to sign the agreement, and the latter thought he had taken advantage of it, so he rode back home with great satisfaction, and kept writing letters in the past few years To Murphy, the continuation of their "great friendship"...
Sometimes Marcus felt creepy when he saw Murphy's kind smile.
The slender and good-looking young king in front of him has such deep scheming and city planning. He has planned everything three years ago, waiting like a poisonous snake for things to develop according to his expectations.
In the past three years, every order and every policy of his has proved his correctness in the end, and all those who refute him will eventually convert willingly.So much so that now, once he opens his mouth about a matter, everyone will acquiesce that it is the truth.
How terrible!And how trustworthy!
When talking to this monarch face to face, even Marcus would have the thought of "he is not a mortal, he is a god" from time to time.
Now, when Murphy said something like "I am the country", even the Lion family would show a natural expression. None of them thought there was anything wrong with it!
And these subtle changes, the king only took a total of four short years.
"It's the third year of the gold purchase agreement, Floda's gold mine must resume production, and we can't pay for Valilius' inflation." Murphy said, "Do you still remember, three years ago? What did I say?"
"'Under certain circumstances,' agreements can be disregarded," Marcus said.
Murphy showed a familiar, "kind" smile, and said: "We will be able to enter the 'special situation' with Valerius soon."
The Kingdom of Floda began a grand military parade.
Externally, they declared: "It's just a celebration every year. Our king likes to listen to army music."
That's right, Murphy kept a royal band, and he often listened to the band playing.
Of all the musicians, he liked Alice the Harp best—well, yes, she was the best looking.
Alice plucked the strings with her tender hands, with a sweet smile on her pretty face, and she winked at the king from time to time—this scene was copied into the oil painting by the court painter, and everyone felt that the two must have Hooked up.
Most people are super envious of Alice!
But in the face of such a big beauty, everyone can't be jealous.
There's only one great person in the palace who doesn't like Alice—
Enoch sat upright, leaning against the wall, and said coldly, "Noisy."
Murphy happily followed the beat of the music, and said, "Don't be prejudiced against music, sometimes you need to try to accept the existence of art..."
Enoch turned over a page of notes and said, "She is not yet an art."
Long always speaks without concealment, and there is no other human being in his eyes.
Alice looked at Murphy tearfully, but the latter didn't notice her expression at all.
Murphy seemed to be remembering something, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "I remember, there is a song you must like."
He casually picked up a violin next to him, and hummed along with the tune while playing.
—— "Watch".
A song written by a mermaid priest.
No matter which world it is in, it is so moving.
Alice was crying so hard that she could hardly breathe. Looking at Murphy, she felt that the young king was like a god in the sky, a perfect person who should not exist in this world.
He was singing to his dragon.
Enoch raised his head and looked at Murphy with confusion. He reached out and took off Murphy's mask, and said in a deep thought, "Maybe we've met somewhere before, I've heard this song before."
Murphy grabbed his hand, and his smile deepened: "This song is called "Watch", does it feel good?"
"No, too feeble," replied Enoch grimly. "The man who wrote this song is tormented by his own impotence. There is nothing good about such music."
Murphy: "?" No, honey, do you know who you're talking about?
Enoch then withdrew his hand and said arrogantly: "Whatever you want, you should take it by any means, hide it in your own den, and turn it into your own treasure."
Murphy: "..." This sentence is absolutely correct.
