I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

Especially those who recognized the appearance of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince were even more excited and incoherent.

And because of this, everyone understands why Reinhardt suddenly changed his neutral attitude. It's all because, now, it's equivalent to the fact that "Lugnica's orthodoxy" is on Crusch's side!

At the same time, anyone with some political insight instantly understood that Crusch Karsten's advantage over other candidates for the throne was overwhelming.

Especially after the aristocrats and generals of the Wang Tong faction flocked to beg to see His Royal Highness the fourth prince, they all publicly expressed their support for Crusch Karsten in a short period of time!

At this point, both the knowledgeable people inside Lugnica and the high-level officials from other countries all understand that the chaos in Lugnica is about to end.

As for the Pro-Dragon Faction in the Kingdom of Lugnica, they are also facing the most painful moment of decision.

Although Crusch has publicly stated that he is a member of the royal family and wants to lead Lugnica out of the slavery of the dragon, but no matter what, it cannot be denied that Crusch has accepted the identity of the "Dragon Priestess".Essentially speaking, Crusch is still a member of the Dragon Faction.

Because once Crusch denies the 'Dragon', it is tantamount to denying the legitimacy of his candidate for the throne, and denying the legitimacy of his succession to the throne, how can he explain to the kingdom?

Even if Crusch really becomes king in the future, the first priority is to maintain the legitimacy of his own throne, and if he wants to maintain the legitimacy of his own throne, he must move closer to the pro-dragon faction. start.

So from the very beginning, Crusch was completely inferior, which was the fundamental reason why the Pro-Dragon Faction allowed Crusch, the candidate of the Royalist Faction, to develop.At the same time, it was also the root cause of Wang Tong's vacillating attitude towards Crusch.

But now?

His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince 'Flier' suddenly came back from the dead and appeared in the public eye as Crusch's fiancé.

Needless to say anything else, just the closeness of the Royalist faction is enough to make the Crusch faction the most powerful force among several candidates for the throne. It affirmed the legitimacy of Crusch as a candidate for the throne, and this affirmation did not come from the 'dragon', but from the direct royal family of the former king.

In other words, the current Crusch can completely abandon the identity of the "Dragon Priestess" and compete for the throne as the direct royal family of the former king.Even if you are a little more cautious, you can let 'Flier' come out to fight for the throne in person.

Therefore, no matter whether it is Crusch or 'Flier', it is really possible to fulfill Crusch's original wish, which is to make the Kingdom of Lugnica officially cut off from 'Dragon'!

Therefore, at this moment, the nobles of Lugnica's pro-dragon faction have reached a critical moment.

Is it a compromise in order to find a way to preserve power?

Or do you fully support other candidates, risking the fact that Lugnica is divided into two, and there is a high probability that civil war will break out, so as to fight the Wang Tong faction to the end?

Many of the Pro-Dragon faction nobles have true feelings for the Kingdom of Lugnica, and they don't want to see a civil war break out in Lugnica, so this makes this decision extraordinarily painful.

Even some pro-dragon aristocrats found powerful magicians and led a team to the cemetery of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and through some means, spied on the coffin of His Highness the Fourth Prince who was buried in the ground, in an attempt to bury the prince who was buried in the ground. Juggernaut Reinhardt asserted that his Royal Highness the Fourth Prince put on the name of a counterfeit, thus gaining the opportunity to fight back.

Regrettably, the empty coffin shattered the last chance of the Pro-Dragon faction, leaving them stuck in the painful choice between alternatives.

What happened to the nobles of the pro-dragon faction, Ku Erxiu and the others ignored them, according to Nangong Xiao, enriching themselves and suppressing them with power is the right way.

Therefore, Crusch and others put all their efforts into the management of No. [-] Myriad World City, because as long as No. [-] Myriad World City is more prosperous, the poor and refugees in Lugnica can live and work in peace and contentment because of the existence of No. [-] Myriad World City. Then Crusch's position will be more solid, and no one can shake it.

Logic is the most basic 'the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world'.

But when the Crusch camp tried its best to win the hearts of the people, the pro-dragon faction was in a dilemma, and the other candidates for the throne were helpless, the population of the slums in the capital of Lugnica was rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after half a month, nearly The slums where [-] refugees and poor people gathered became "ten rooms and nine empties". Basically, they all moved to No. [-] Wanjie City to settle down. The rest are just some hooligans, or some completely lost. A decadent man with a struggling heart.

Regarding the remaining unstable factors of law and order, Crusch, according to the plan mentioned by Nangong Xiao, threw the question to the Sage Association with a smile, which made the Sage Association, which was already in a dilemma, turn black at the moment.

Because the intention of Crusch's move is very sinister!

Is it to delegate power to Kur to rectify those unstable factors that will affect law and order?Or will they sages handle it themselves?

Crusch completely handed over the decision-making power to the Council of Sages in accordance with the procedure.

The sages will have troubles but can't tell.

Some impulsive nobles even proposed to directly exile those unstable factors that affect the law and order, so as to improve the law and order in the capital circle.

Although this is barely a feasible solution, if you really want to do this, once it is publicized by someone with a heart, it will only highlight the incompetence of their sages, especially since No. [-] Wanjie City has properly accommodated nearly [-] refugees. The precedent of the poor and the poor is right in front of us. If we really want to do it, it will be clear at a glance which one is better. At that time, Crusch may not be required to be on the throne. .

In addition to exile, the Sage Society really doesn't know how to deal with the nearly ten thousand "useless people" who are lazy, cunning, ruthless, and bottomless.

Give those 'useless people' jobs like No. [-] Wanjie City?

Giving jobs is not difficult for the Wise Men's Association, but it must be done by those "useless people" who are willing to do it.

If those "useless people" were willing to do it, they would have already gone to No. [-] Wanjie City, where the treatment and living environment are extremely excellent. How could it still be possible to live in a slum?

What if some drastic means are used?

The members of the Sage Association quickly denied that if there was no No. [-] Myriad Realm City, no matter how violent it was, it would be no problem to exile these "useless people" directly, but there is a precedent for No. [-] Myriad Realm City , with a clear contrast, it is absolutely impossible to do this kind of thing that will definitely damage the prestige of the sages.

Therefore, they can only use gentle means, or authorize Crusch to do it.

And as long as the sages will authorize Crusch, it will not only be as simple as the sages will delegate power to Crusch, but Crusch will have no scruples when punishing those "useless people".Because no matter what means Crusch uses, once the social response is not good, he can completely push it to the Council of Sages, saying that the Council of Sages authorized it.Once the social response is good, it will be her, Crusch, who is "wise and mighty", so it is equivalent to the benefits that only Crusch can get, and the scapegoat, but only the sages will bear it.

This is the most helpless and ugly face of the sage society.

In the final analysis, the wise man has the power to run the king, but has no ability and capital to govern the country, so Crusch listened to someone's "slander" and tied the wise man to the fire to roast.

Now that the matter had come to an end, the nobles of the Sage Council deliberated, and finally gave Crusch the authority.

After all, those "disabled people" are not so easy to manage. Although there are problems, their sages will also be responsible, but they only need to keep an eye on some of Crusch's actions, and criticize Crusch's dereliction of duty first when necessary, and learn from Crusch Using the power of the public to fight against suppression, the final result would not damage the prestige of the Council of Sages much, and it might even stagnate Crusch's rise to prominence.

It's a pity that what makes the sages puzzled, and can only be incompetent and furious, is that Crusch directly and openly announced a plan for forced labor reform with a clear purpose and relatively mild means, and to improve the law and order in the royal capital and give ' The core of the publicity is the opportunity for "abandoned people" to reform and rehabilitate, which has won the recognition and support of almost all civilians in one breath, and can calmly deal with the remaining nearly [-] "abandoned people" at the bottom of society in the slums.

The technique is also very simple, that is, to send subordinates to forcibly transfer those "useless people" to No. [-] Wanjie City for public paid labor reform.Of course, under coercion, it will inevitably lead to some indecent execution processes, and a bad one will have a negative impact, but it is also very simple to solve this point, as long as the necessity and principle of force execution methods are announced in advance, and all Seeking a clear purpose, this can basically eliminate the doubts of other ordinary people, and even be more beautiful when speaking publicly, and it can also win the active support of the people.

Facts have also proved that this set of aboveboard and seemingly extremely simple combination punches is feasible, and even very beautiful.This incident not only allowed Crusch to gain a lot of prestige among the people again, but also confirmed Crusch's potential as a "virtuous king", and at the same time reduced the prestige of the Council of Wise Men.

After all, a sage would face this problem for a long time without doing anything, but once the power was delegated to Crusch, it could be resolved reasonably. Under the comparison of this objective existence, it is clear at a glance which is better.

Things have come to this point, the slums and security issues in Lugnica's capital circle have been completely solved by Crusch, not just in the royal capital circle, as time goes by, Ten Thousand Realms City will gradually spread to the entire Lugnica. The Kingdom of Gnica radiates, and the hidden dangers of public security in this country will be quickly resolved, and the displaced poor will be gradually accepted by No. [-] City of Ten Thousand Realms, and slowly converted into loyal followers of Crusch. It will become the most solid pillar for Crusch to rule the Kingdom of Lugnica in the future.

At that time, Crusch's throne will be completely secured.

Of course, all of this will take time. For the time being, Crusch can only work hard to manage the No. [-] City of Ten Thousand Worlds well, and at the same time make full preparations for everything.

The situation of Crusch is smooth sailing. After all, Nangong Xiao is on the sidelines to make suggestions, and even personally help. It is impossible to think it will be smooth sailing, but Nangong Xiao's side seems to be not so smooth.

Originally learned through Rem that Emilia was coming to the capital for further study, Nangong Xiao and Rem thought this was the beginning of the plot, and Natsuki Subaru would appear, so they seconded Crusch's staff, Pay more attention to strangely dressed strangers that suddenly appear in the capital.

For this reason, Nangong Xiao even took out the original animation image of Natsuki Subaru to give Crusch's secret workers in the capital a specific image recognition.

But wait and see, even Emilia completed this round of study and returned to Roswaal's frontier mansion, and Natsuki Subaru did not show up, which made Nangong Xiao somewhat puzzled.

However, Nangong Xiao soon felt relieved. After all, Emilia would come to the capital every once in a while to learn about candidates for the throne. This round is not the one where the plot starts. Then the next round, or the next Wheel, presumably it will be.

But Nangong Xiao knew that even if Nayue Subaru came, it wouldn't unfold like the original book.

Because Felut and the demi-human Cromwell are one of the 'army' of labor reform in No. [-] Wanjie City at this time. After all, the thief and the key personnel of the stolen goods den were not hanged directly, it was Nangong Xiao's intention. He was able to escape by mentioning Crusch and clearly telling Crusch of Felut's true identity.

Crusch was very surprised that Felt was a descendant of the royal family and was nominally Nangong Xiao's cousin, and even wanted to take Felt to live in the castellan's mansion.

It's a pity that it was rejected by Nangong Xiao's "righteousness to destroy relatives", and he also demanded that Felut must serve his sentence before he can be released. At the same time, during this period, Felut's identity cannot be exposed, and he cannot be given special preferential treatment. Let him take care of the mess Let's talk about my temper.

In this regard, although Crusch always felt that something was not very good, he also followed Nangong Xiao's suggestion. After all, Felt's petty life habits and cognition really need to be reformed...

Chapter 564 Situation and Reasons

Ten Thousand Realms City was born amidst the bustle and bustle for more than a month.

With the complete transfer of the population in the slums of the capital, and the migration of the poor in the surrounding cities of the capital, the permanent population here has also gone to nearly 20. If the floating population that has already settled down is added, it is estimated that in another month, The population here will more than double, and it won't be long before it will be close to the resident population of Lugnica's capital.

Although it seems to have a large population, No. [-] Wanjie City has adopted a high-density residential area model from the beginning, so even if the land area is limited, it can easily accommodate a million people, and because of the existence of high-yield crops and large-scale magic light industry , It has actually achieved the point of self-sufficiency in food and living materials.

At the same time, due to various novel magic industry products, they actually started to lead the tide of Lugnica's survival and spiritual material needs in a short period of time.

As a result, the further prosperity of No. [-] Wanjie City and a promising future that would make any nobleman jealous.

These are incredible things for any country in this world.

Leaving aside, let’s just say that the capital of Lugnica has a population of several 10 people, but the food and living materials all depend on the nearby cities and even the tax supply from the whole country. Otherwise, with the productivity of this era, it would be impossible It is impossible to support a metropolis of several 10 people centered on politics.

Therefore, the success of No. [-] Wanjie City, and the explosive success in a very short period of time, also made all the noble lords look sideways, and even hoped to strengthen their own territory by learning the model of No. [-] Wanjie City.

It is a pity that on the surface, No. [-] Wanjie City seems to be the wise and powerful of Crusch, but in fact, the key points are all handled by Nangong Xiao. In addition, the imitation threshold of the magic system of the Great Qin Empire is very high, and it is not the world's. People can understand it thoroughly, so many nobles sent people who tried to steal their teachers, and even went to study openly, and found out after a short time that even if Crusch was willing to teach, they would not be able to learn, or in other words, very It is difficult to achieve any results in eight years, so Lugnica and the royal families and nobles of other countries have no choice but to give up.

As for the idea of ​​"destroy it if you can't get it", everyone has it, but they dare not do it, because the so-called strongest contemporary "sword master" is stationed in No. [-] Wanjie City.

Anyone who really wants to act recklessly should think back to the horror scene of being dominated by the previous generation of sword masters during the Asian War, and think about the combat effectiveness of the current generation of sword masters who are generally recognized as stronger than the previous generation of sword masters.

Not only the helplessness of other countries, but also the sage society of Lugnica Kingdom who are also helpless and can only give up.

It's all because Crusch followed Nangong Xiao's advice, put great emphasis on publicity for the whole people, and took the path of advancing with momentum in an upright manner. As a result, no matter how unwilling the sage was, he couldn't do anything about Crusch.

Some nobles of the Sage Society even privately accused Crusch and 'Flier' of being despicable and shameless, and even tied those 'untouchables' to chariots as bargaining chips.

There is no way, at first the sages tried to use the name of the dragon to choose a "qualified" monarch, but now under the manipulation of Crusch, it has become, with the approval of the dragon, Lu All the people of Gurnica jointly recommend a truly 'qualified' monarch.

It is self-evident what these two "qualified" means, and what is the difference between the two kings.

To put it simply, only the interests of the Wise Men's Association and some pro-Dragon nobles who supported the Wise Men's Association were harmed. In this case, it is reasonable for some people to be incompetent and furious.

Not to mention how the aristocratic lords who are self-proclaimed are jumping up and down. Crusch and Nangong Xiao, who has the concept of "Flier", will only laugh at them even if they know what these aristocratic lords are thinking.

Common people are the foundation of a country. This is a truth that everyone understands. Although everyone understands it, whether they are willing to face up to the importance of civilians is another concept.

Now, Crusch is just willing to pay attention to it.But those noble gentlemen are used to being superior, so they know the importance of common people but are unwilling to face it squarely.

In this case, who is to blame?

Besides, Crusch, in fact, this little girl is also a more traditional Lugnica nobleman, and she also has some not too bad noble perceptions, but the situation is not bad.

It is said that Crusch himself also has an inexplicable sense of superiority over commoners, but Crusch at least understands that commoners are the key to the construction of Lugnica, and at the same time, he also has a heart of compassion, and will not because of the little bit of superiority derived from status and blood In this way, civilians are regarded as dispensable 'props'.

It was also because of this that Nangong Xiao chose Crusch in the first place.

After all, apart from Crusch and Emilia who are willing to look directly at the bottom people, only Felut, who is in the slums, can have enough attention to the bottom people.

As for Priscilla and Anastasia, even if their natures are not bad, they are not qualified leaders from the beginning to the end, especially the attitude they show to the outside world, which can simply be described as 'something' up.

So in Nangong Xiao's view, Ku Erxiu is the only qualified person among the candidates for the throne.

As for Emilia, there is indeed a potential that can be cultivated. Unfortunately, Emilia's only supporter, Roswaal, is not only a lone traveler, but also does not really help Amy. Lia's, so Emilia can be said to have almost nothing. Compared with Crusch, it is clear at a glance whether it is better or worse.

As for Felut, Nangong Xiao has never considered it, even if Felut's own blood makes him the most suitable candidate.

Because Felt and Emilia are in a similar situation, they have almost nothing, and it will take too much time to grow up.

But Kuerxiu is different, whether it is background, character, or ability, he is the top choice, especially in handling the outstanding performance in handling the government affairs of No. is satisfied.

Of course, the most important thing is that Crusch accepted his idea of ​​governing the country very actively. This is what Nangong Xiao is most satisfied with.

Yes, Crusch is willing to listen to Nangong Xiao and actively make changes. This is what Nangong Xiao really values.

On some levels, Nangong Xiao seems to have reached a marriage with Kuershu hastily, but in fact, it is because of Kuershu's reason that he listened to him.

Besides, with the marriage relationship in place, the relationship between the Great Qin Empire and the Lugnica Kingdom will be close in the future.

Although for the current Great Qin Empire, a weak ally like the Kingdom of Lugnica is not necessary, but the coexistence of multiple races within the Kingdom of Lugnica has a lot to study for the Great Qin Empire , in addition to the magic system that is somewhat different from the Huiyao system, it is also a good supplement for the future diversified development of the Great Qin Empire.

This is also one of the reasons why Nangong Xiao decided to build the Myriad Realms City in Lugnica.

Coupled with the need to control the development of the original plot, the current situation has gradually formed.

As for manipulating Lugnica through Crusch, Nangong Xiao really didn't have that interest, let alone a need for it.

From Nangong Xiao's point of view, Lugnica's throne is just a small gift from the new daughter-in-law of Crusch, nothing at all.

Back to business.

Ten Thousand Worlds City is officially on the right track, and Crusch's prestige has been consolidated in all directions thanks to the brilliant achievements of Nangong Xiao, his fiancé and No. [-] Ten Thousand Worlds City. It was a matter of finality, so Crusch, whose workload had been greatly reduced, put the plan that he had been planning all along in front of Nangong Xiao.

This morning, in the study of the City Lord's Mansion in No. [-] Wanjie City.

Nangong Xiao is at the desk where he usually does planning and industrial design of Moko.

Crusch stood in front of the desk with a solemn expression, looking down at Nangong Xiao who was sitting on the chair behind the desk and carefully reading her plan.

Wilhelm, Felix, and Reinhardt stood behind Kur's self-cultivation.

Felix is ​​not bad, but his eyes are shining with anticipation, but Wilhelm and Reinhardt are different, as if they are worried that Nangong Xiao will deny this plan.

After a while, Nangong Xiao put down the plan in his hand, and glanced at everyone who had different expressions, but they all clearly wanted the plan to be implemented.

After a pause, he said, "I understand the general situation, and it is not a problem to hunt down the white whale."

Nangong Xiao's words made everyone happy.

Crusch asked impatiently, "Since that's the case, Xiao, shall we start preparations now?"

"We'll talk about this later." Nangong Xiao waved his hands, then looked at Wilhelm.

Seeed by Nangong Xiao, Wilhelm's body froze slightly, and he bowed slightly nervously, "Your Highness, do you have any questions?"

"As far as I know, the white whale, one of the three major monsters, has the ability to devour other people's concept of existence. Mrs. Madam back then... Well, Wilhelm, you and Reinhardt are all right now?"

The reason why Nangong Xiao asked this is also because Wilhelm's wife, the previous generation of swordsman - Theresia van Astrea, when she was hunting the white whale more than ten years ago, the swordsman plus The nurse was suddenly transferred to the five-year-old Reinhardt, causing Theresia to die in battle. This incident also made Wilhelm, who loves his wife deeply, have extremely complicated feelings for Reinhardt. The reason for the gap between.

But now looking at the relationship between Wilhelm Halleinhardt, Nangong Xiao felt that they had already tended to reconcile, and planned to completely solve this 'hidden danger'.

Although Nangong Xiao's words were not complete, everyone present could understand.
