MTL - The King-Chapter 336 Spy to work hard
Chapter 336 The spy who wants to work hard
With the implementation of the three-year plan, all kinds of messy problems have gradually been collected in Hudson's hands.
The most eye-catching thing is the religious issue. The influence of the Holy See on the upper echelons of the kingdom has been eliminated in the game between kingship and theocracy, but its influence on the lower echelons has not diminished at all.
When the population of the territory was small, this kind of problem was not obvious. After all, fanatics are a very small minority after all, and they can't make any waves.
Now, the situation has changed. With the rapid growth of the territory's population, the number of fanatics also increased, and even entered the grassroots management team.
Hudson is in no rush to act. Religious issues are never resolved overnight. The people at the bottom struggling on the death line cannot live without faith.
Referring to the practice of other nobles, they all turned the people of the local church into their own people, so as to complete the overall control of the territory.
Before this, Hudson also played like this. It's just that there are too few priests in the Mountain Territory, and they don't have the time to go deep into the people.
"Perhaps the doctrine should be revised!"
Muttering something, when it was time to take practical action, Hudson stopped again.
This kind of thing is not qualified to be initiated by a lord. Looking at the entire continent, the only ones who have the courage and ability to initiate further religious reforms are the anti-Holy See Charles III and Caesar III.
After hesitating again and again, Hudson decided not to act in a hurry. The current situation in the kingdom is not optimistic. Caesar III's physical condition is worrying, and it is obviously not suitable for making big moves.
Charles III is in the prime of his life, but he is too far away from Hudson, and he cannot exert influence even if he wants to.
Combined with his actions, Hudson feels that he will do nothing, and Charles III will also launch a new round of religious reform.
The human race only needs one overlord. The Frankish Kingdom and the Holy See have long since turned their faces. If the foundation of the Holy See’s rule is not overthrown, the Frankish Kingdom’s position within the human race will not be stable.
In Hudson's view, the establishment of the Arcane Academy was the first shot in Charles III's anti-Holy See movement.
Religious reformation has always started with emancipating the mind. If there is no god, with the current negative image of the Holy See, countries already have the basis to initiate a comprehensive religious reform.
Considering the existence of the Lord of Dawn, everyone is inevitably a little timid in their actions. The actions taken must also be persisted: against the Holy See, not against the gods.
Confine the struggle to within the framework of intra-believers.
The current actions of the 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. An anti-Holy See base camp like the Arcane Academy must be established.
The Mountain Territory does not have the ability to establish an arcane academy, but the Alpha Kingdom does. If you don't take advantage of Caesar III's reign to implement things, there is a high probability that the successors will not have such courage.
Once the Arcane Academy takes root in the Alpha Kingdom, someone will tamper with the teachings, and there is no need for Hudson to be the first bird.
Stated various pros and cons, and saw that no omissions were found, and was about to seal it, Hudson suddenly changed his face, cursed himself for being stupid, and immediately released a fireball to burn the secret letter.
There is no way, Caesar III is not a fool. I actually wanted to use him as a spearman, did I really think the king was easy to bully?
Hudson dared to bet that if his letter was sent to Caesar III and the future Arcane Academy was established, he would be one of the founders.
I want to refuse, but I can't find a suitable reason. Only you can fill the hole you dug yourself.
Successfully avoided a crisis, but deep down, Hudson was still a little nervous. At this moment, he suddenly understood why the nobles didn't like the hero anymore.
The king is too shrewd. Although he handles internal and external affairs in an orderly manner, it is not easy to fool around!
A little careless, instead of fooling the king, he dug a hole and buried himself.
It is estimated that all the great nobles in the kingdom have suffered a lot in the past years. The more times you are cheated, the more you learn to behave and become more peaceful.
After thinking through all this, Hudson immediately decided to change his thinking. It was enough to secretly send people to publicize the benefits of establishing the Arcane Academy, and it was unnecessary to personally push it.
No one knows whether it will be successful, and now it depends on who will be the first to fall into the trap and jump out to promote the establishment of the Arcane Academy to draw hatred.
It's all caused by geopolitics. If he is an inland lord, he will do this kind of thing. Hudson will never be cowardly.
However, he is a coastal lord. If he spreads too much hatred, he will face **** revenge from the Holy See when he sets foot in the ocean in the future.
"Tom, send someone to notify Kane, Jacob, Rudolph... to come to discuss matters at night."
Hudson ordered.
"Yes, Earl!"
While speaking, Tom outside the door had already turned and left.
The only change is that on the parchment on Hudson's desk, there are two more characters - quit impetuosity.
A series of successes, although Hudson didn't say anything, but deep down, he was still a little proud.
If you are proud, you will get carried away. Unknowingly, Hudson found that he had become "impetuous", and almost did the stupid thing of using the king as a gunman.
Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise, if he continued to do this, he would kill himself sooner or later.
As a rising nobleman, there were already many people staring at him. Although he seems to have a good relationship with everyone now, once a fatal flaw is exposed, he will be eaten immediately.
Who made him too young?
It came out so fast, if the forces of all parties are not afraid, then there will be problems.
No action was taken. It was because Hudson sold a lot of favors during the war. No one wanted to bear the reputation of being ungrateful. Everyone was embarrassed to do it in a short time.
In addition, there is no conflict of interest with most of the nobles, so they don't have to act as a leader and make wedding dresses for others.
Several companies with conflicting interests happened to be seriously injured in the war, so they didn't have time to seek his bad luck.
Finally ushered in a period of peaceful development. If you don’t settle down to develop your territory and pragmatic foundation, instead you run to stir up the situation and send yourself into the vortex of the storm. Wouldn’t it be self-destruction.
Hudson is reflecting, but the Mountain Territory is very lively. Since his big marriage, it seems that the valve has been opened, and the Koslow family has married with nobles from all over the country one after another.
Although they are only collateral descendants, and some of their ancestors have not even touched the title of title for three or five generations, this does not affect them, under the banner of the Koslow family, to marry outside minor nobles.
Of course, there are also thresholds for participating in a marriage. At the very least, one must first become a knight and show certain potential.
If he is nothing, there are so many members of the Koslow family, Baron Redman has no time to organize for them.
It doesn’t work if you want to, because that is not a marriage, but an enmity with someone. Unless it is a continuation, the object of the noble marriage must also be the noble. This is the most basic principle.
As a child of a big family, as long as you become a knight, you can get a knight title.
Earls like Hudson have the right to enshrine the lower-level nobles. It's just that this kind of nobleman is the vassal of the great nobleman.
There is no accident, Hudson will not be stingy with an empty title when treating his own man, but there is no need to think about the fief.
Unless he has made great achievements, he will not divide his territory and make it a fief for his subordinates.
Not only Hudson, but all the great nobles in the whole continent did this. The guys who wantonly split the territory are all in the competition of the aristocratic world and have been eliminated by history.
Every day, Baron Redman arranges marriages for the children of the family, and Baron Redman is about to become an exclusive matchmaker. Busy is busy, but seeing the prosperity of the family, he is still in a good mood.
This good mood didn't last long, and slowly disappeared. Under the background of a well-matched family, all the children of the family have found suitable marriage partners, but no one cares about his two youngest sons.
There were originally three of them, but one of them was kicked out of the house early and was ignored by him.
The two who stayed by my side, although they are not too old, it is still a bit embarrassing that no one cares about them. If you want to take the initiative to attack, you can't find a suitable target.
Logically speaking, as a direct member of the Koslow family and the younger brother of the earl, it is entirely possible to consider marrying a great nobleman.
Unfortunately, the identities of the two youngest sons are a bit embarrassing. It’s fine if they don’t have the same mother as Hudson, and the mother is not from aristocratic background.
On this one, the possibility of marriage with a big noble is cut off. After all, everyone wants to save face in the circle, and the current situation of the Koslow family is not enough for everyone to let go of face.
Not only are the big nobles unable to climb up, but even the middle nobles are not interested. Even if Baron Redman showed his intention to marry, he was only willing to introduce distant collateral children.
After all, people also have to conduct background checks before marriage. After figuring out the relationship between the two of them and Hudson, the head of the family, they were directly judged as having no marriage value.
The little nobles who are further down don’t care much about this, but Baron Redman is a little unwilling. To be exact, Mrs. Anna was not reconciled, blowing the wind beside her pillow every day.
"How is it, sir?"
Hearing the question, Redman responded angrily: "What else can I do, I was rejected again!
Forget it, let’s talk about it in a few years, anyway, the two of them are still young, so it’s okay to delay it for a few years.
I'm usually busy, so when you're free, you can urge the two of them to practice more. If he could become a great knight before the age of twenty, he would not have to worry about not having a good marriage. "
Being rejected one after another, Redman no longer has illusions about the marriage of his two younger sons.
The so-called becoming a great knight before the age of twenty is purely a picture. Throughout the history of the Koslow family, there is only one Hudson seedling.
No matter where they are, there are only a few geniuses who cultivate, and the vast majority are just ordinary people.
"Master, I will urge them to practice, but..."
Before Mrs. Anna could finish speaking, Redman forcibly interrupted: "There are not so many buts, there is nothing perfect in this world.
If not, then lower the bar. Even the boss and the second child didn't climb high branches, so why not leave them alone! "
Obviously, in Redman's eyes, the three former sons still hold more weight.
Even if he loves his younger son more, it is based on his leisure time. Unless the next two minors have past performance, it will be difficult to change.
"Master, or let Hudson come forward and help..."
Before he finished speaking, Redman immediately reprimanded with a changed face: "Shut up! Ignorant fool, do you want to marry someone, or do you want to make enemies?
Since ancient times, marriage has always been a matter of two surnames. How can one force a marriage!
Stop here, if you let me hear it again, hum! "
The eyes full of anger startled Mrs. Anna. Reason told her that Redman was really angry.
During the twenty years of their marriage, there were only a handful of scenes where Redman was so violent, and every time he became violent, something big happened.
Maybe seeing that Mrs. Anna was frightened, Redman's anger slowly calmed down. It was not easy for the Koslow family to be revived, and he didn't want to affect the development of the family because of one of his reckless actions.
Recently, I have been busy building bridges for the children of the family, all of which are trying to win connections for the family. Even if the marriage partners are minor nobles, the Koslow family has a lot of people!
If you can't compare with the Dalton family's background, it's better than having more people. With the fertility of the Koslow family, as long as a stable development environment is obtained, the population of the next generation will surely explode further.
Maybe there is nothing to do. After decades, all the nobles in the province have become relatives of their own family, and the family foundation will be stable.
To implement this plan, the precondition must be to ensure that every marriage is a marriage, not an enemy.
As of now, Hudson is the only one who knows about this plan. As the specific executor, Redman does not allow anyone to destroy the plan.
After all, this is the greatest contribution he can make to the family, and it is also the value of life in his mind.
…
"Hurry up and load the car, we are leaving tomorrow, what kind of slow talk is this!"
Since the start of the territory replacement plan, this scene has continued to be staged everywhere. It is hard to leave the homeland, and it is inevitable that the serfs will have resistance.
It's just that even they are the wealth of the nobles, and their ideas obviously cannot affect the implementation of the plan.
The slow delay is their last stubbornness. The Baojia chiefs who were transferred from the headquarters to organize the relocation, after finishing their ideological work, their patience was slowly exhausted.
Reprimanding is considered gentle, and those who have a bad temper are directly kicked up. The soldiers who had just started patrolling went over to dissuade them for a while, but later saw that the progress was slow to get up, so they didn't bother to speak.
Under high pressure, the relocation work officially started. There were a lot of small episodes in the middle, but finally there was no big trouble.
Of course, this is not how strong the organization ability of the mountain territory is. The most important thing is that Hudson recruited 20,000 troops and sent them over to help.
The relocation of 150,000 people was escorted by 20,000 troops. If there is a big mess, then there is a real problem.
There is no doubt that these 150,000 people are not high-quality population. After all, these fiefdoms were all turned into unclaimed lands during the war.
The original lords and lords all died on the battlefield, and naturally few of the serfs who went to the battlefield with them were able to come back alive.
A large number of young and strong people were lost, and most of the rest were old, weak, women and children. Putting it on other lords must be worrying.
The mountainous region is obviously an exception. During the war, Hudson abducted many young and strong soldiers back.
From the one-time recruitment of 20,000 troops, it can be seen that this is by no means what the original population of the mountain region can gather.
This wave of territorial replacement is not only about concentrating territories, but also a grand strategy for population balance.
Looking at the long relocation team, Andrea looked depressed. He, the sad city lord, has only been in office for more than three months and is about to move again.
There is no way, who made Xueyue City too far away from the mountain territory?
Originally expected to make achievements here, so as to go back to get a good position, but now it is obviously a failure.
It's sad to think about it. When I was in charge of intelligence work, I didn't make outstanding achievements; when I was the lord of Xueyue City, I still didn't have any outstanding achievements.
There are more and more talents in the mountain area, and he has been unable to produce results for a long time. If this situation continues, he will be marginalized sooner or later.
If it's just me, it's okay to be marginalized, but he came here with a mission.
It took a lot of effort to get mixed into the higher-ups of the territory. If he was kicked out of the power center due to his own factors, he would have no way to explain to the boss behind the scenes.
Sighed deeply, he knew he couldn't sit still and wait for death. You must do something in the next changing situation, otherwise not only will you end up miserable, but your family will also end up with it.
