Warhammer Throne

After learning that Alfred was okay, Ryan let go of a big rock in his heart: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to the news, Patriarch Alfred will stay in Brunswick for a period of time. Under the crown of the Great God, it is said that he will be promoted to Cardinal." Talleyrand leaned on his cane towards Len. Smiled and said: "This is really good news, Your Majesty."

"It can't be said to be good news, Talleyrand." Ryan was already out of his ecstasy at this time. The Knight King heard that Alfred would be promoted to Cardinal and couldn't help frowning: "Cardinal What does it mean? It means that Alfred must be resident in Brunswick and serve as an adviser and assistant to the great priest, then the diocese of West Bretania must appoint a new patriarch."

"Yes, but it is said that the Church of Justice is willing to break some small routines for this. I mean, maybe Alfred will serve as the cardinal and also the head of the diocese." Talleyrand leaned on a cane and laughed. He said: "I think it must be arranged like this under the crown of the great god."

"It's possible." Before Ryan spoke, Su Liya spoke, and the female knight said to Ryan: "It is very likely that besides Alfred, there will be a huge guardian army. The complete administrative team, as well as the fighting priest group..."

"Okay, okay, Suria!" Ryan really admired the political sensitivity of his queen. The knight king sat back in his chair and stopped Sulia from continuing to say: "Don't jump to conclusions in such a hurry. If the Church of Justice gives Alfred a ready-made whole team, then we have to be vigilant, my dear, think about it, is it possible, Archbishop Vicma, this is for Afo to do it on his own. How about setting up a complete administrative team?"

"It's not impossible." Su Liya thought about accepting Ryan's point of view, and the female knight sighed: "I am worried that the loss is so huge. The Church of Justice has definitely lost its strength in recent years, and Alfred The 800 casualties taken by Germany are so high, what should the local civilians do? How to deal with the problem of pensions? This war has no gain at all, and it has nothing to do with defending the country. In the end, if Afu can’t come up with it. Enough compassion and appease the anger of the army members, don’t they want to be transferred to your head?"

"This is a problem." Ryan was reminded by Su Liya.

After a series of brilliant expedition victories allowed Bretons to enjoy unparalleled dividends, they also brought side effects, that is, Bretons have begun to get used to "victory is a matter of course."

And similarly, the war that Ah Fu participated in could not convince everyone. Lane knew that it was very easy to make people understand that “to defend their homeland and protect their own interests” is very easy. Furthermore, participating in the war has the opportunity to rise in class, and people naturally Active participation.

But it is very difficult and almost impossible to make the ignorant serfs and even most of the free class understand that "we are fighting for the welfare of mankind and the safety of order."

Surely some people say no. For example, the victory of the people in the past celestial dynasty that was pushed out by the car?

Brother, let me just say one thing here. The spirit and ideals are great, but what really affects people's hearts is the interests. The land reform is in the true sense. It allows all the oppressed farmers to get immediate benefits and benefits, and everyone is willing to win the shadow of the grain.

Why can Ryan directly subdue all the dukes without shed a drop of Breton blood? Isn't it because he directly brought benefits to the civilians and defended their rights?

But Alfred is not like this.

"How many survived Alfred's army?" Ryan thought for a moment, and asked Talleyrand, "Is there in the news?"

"Yes!" Talleyrand looked at the letter and confirmed again, adding: "A total of 46 people survived and stayed in Braunschweig with Your Excellency Alfred."

"Promote all these 46 people, the promotion of serfs to the free people, and the promotion of the free people to honor the free people." Ryan said lightly: "If they are already honored free people... if there are any, I will canonize them as knights. These 46 individuals will be integrated into a new team. They will be Alfred’s future administrative team."

"Then they need a name, Your Majesty, the name you personally gave." Talleyrand said respectfully.

"46 people." Ryan touched his chin. The number 46 made his memory faintly show up in fragments.

"Then call... Nogizaka 46!"

…………I am the dividing line of Nogizaka46…………

Three days later, Brittany, on the canal from Jean City to Moussilon, the king's coat of arms flag with yellow irises on the sword in the book is flying above the river.

Knight King Ryan wants to personally go to Mu Xilong to investigate the situation.

On the deck of the ship, Ryan and Bellega stood together to look at the scenery along the river. The first phase of the canal project was completed, and the second phase was almost completed. The third phase will soon be ready to start.

"Brother Lane, I heard that you borrowed all the money for building the canal from national debt?" Bellegar asked with interest: "Relying on the canal's tariff and toll tax mortgage?"

"Why? Is there a problem?" Ryan smiled very wickedly: "I don't have to spend a penny, and it also strengthens the credit of the national debt."

"Yes, national debt." Bellegar said suddenly with emotion: "Unfortunately, this set can't be used on dwarves. You know, Brother Lane, all the dwarves only recognize gold... or mythril, vibranium, obsidian or Anything else, this kind of bond won't be recognized."

"Are you saying that humans are more likely to trust others?" Ryan read Bellegar's meaning with a smile.

"Oh, Brother Lane wants to seduce me, but unfortunately, as the true king of the Eight Peaks Mountain, I won't fall into your scheme!" Belle Garhaha laughed, and he touched his white beard: "Brother Lane, I have I want to tell you something."

"Go ahead," Ryan said casually.

"Dugan-Tiehan told me in private that you seem to be deliberately suppressing the Musilon military factory." Bellegar said honestly: "He remembers that he said more than once that he wanted to open more factories and recruit more apprentices for workers. , At the same time planning to eat in several nearby places, but you just disagree, why? Brother Lane?"

"Isn't the reason very simple?" Ryan smiled: "Expanding the industry without restrictions is easy to say, but what should I do if the products cannot be sold?"

"Why can't you sell it?" Bellegar still didn't understand: "You have such a big country with a population of over 8 million, why can't you not sell it?"

"Yes, there are a lot of people, but what if most people don't have the money to buy?" Ryan continued with a smile: "Most people can only guarantee food and clothing through hard work. How can I have the remaining money to buy weapons produced in military factories? No more rice, no more land?"

"Uh..." Bellegar was speechless at this moment.

Ryan knows that industry has an infinite loop, and he is now using administrative power to suppress the rapid development of Musilon's industry.

What is the infinite loop of industry? In fact, the reason is very simple. Industrial production requires very strong agricultural support. In the production process, industrial production is always relatively surplus, always tends to produce more, and always tends to higher profits.

Therefore, after overproduction, goods are hoarded. When the industry is developed, the wages of labor will naturally rise. At this time, the industry will begin to tend to open more markets to dump goods and obtain cheaper labor and cheaper raw materials. Pursue high profits.

What if the domestic demand is met? Then go to open foreign markets.

What should I do if the domestic labor is too expensive? Then go to introduce immigrants to find cheap labor.

What should I do if the domestic raw materials are too expensive? Then try to lower the price of raw materials or import raw materials from outside.

Saturated again? Labor is expensive again? The raw materials have gone up again?

That is the Yi kind of cycle again.

There is no need to say more about how to do it. A few key words: triangle trade, the sun never sets empire, and the Opium War.

But in this world, this step is difficult to take.

Triangular trade? Go to Osu'an and Nagaroth to catch elven slaves? Go to Ruscia to catch the lizardmen?

Even if the hidden dangers of separation and independence are not considered, and the premise of overseas colonization is to beat the natives, Bretania will defeat the Arabs, but the tomb king in the depths of the desert...

Or turn your head to fight the next empire, dwarves and wood elves?

Once the industry fails to expand, the crisis begins.

Of course, Ryan also told Bellegar that he also has to ensure the stability of developed agriculture and society. Many people have always looked down on agriculture, but Ryan is very clear that agriculture is the foundation of the country and must ensure the development of agriculture. With social stability, the Knight Kingdom has the opportunity to survive the final moment, with agriculture as its mainstay and industry as its supplement.

In fact, Ryan has been intentionally hostile to the business princes of Marienburg.

Capital has never been a kind-hearted person, a rich businessman, the first thing he thinks of is not encouraging production and healthy competition, but frequent deceit, forcing good to be cheap, capital only pursues two things, first is profit, and second The second is its own value-added.

In Len's view, focusing on agriculture and suppressing business is essentially the same as developing manufacturing to suppress the financial industry.

To give a simple example, I can live by collecting rent, so why go to work in the fields? Go to work in the factory?

It is too slow to collect rent and make money, so let's make real estate speculation!

Real estate speculation is too slow to make money, so let's speculate on land!

It is too slow to make money by speculating on land, so it's better to speculate the concept directly!

Playing drums and spreading flowers, looking for someone to pick up the plate everywhere, this is how Nuer's land price rises.

But these things are facing the real catastrophe and the threat of the final moment. Once the so-called prosperous housing market and developed capital squeeze out the water, what can be left?

"Brother Ryan is right." After Bellegar listened, he was thoughtful, and the King of the Eight Peaks nodded silently, thinking about a lot. He understood why Thorgrin kept emphasizing dwarf food and beer after becoming the Supreme King. Be self-sufficient.

In this way, the guy Thor Green still has a very long beard~ Bellegar thought: Unfortunately, it is still not as good as my Ryan brothers.

The Musilon Army Factory follows the rules of the dwarves. It takes two days off every ten days, ten-hour work system, and all statutory holidays are closed. The cost of employment is actually quite high. This rule has only been set, but the outcome of this is that the Musilon Armory cannot compete with the Noor Armory except for a small number of competitive products, but how can Brittany rely solely on imports for firearms? So Ryan has to suppress on the one hand, and subsidize on the other. The three chief engineers Dugan-Tiehan, Sergo and Kalashnikov of the military factory all have some opinions about this. Dugan complained to Bellega this time. As a result, Bellegar went to Ryan to talk about it.

Ryan squinted his eyes, and now all the goals are to build walls, accumulate food, and grow obscenely, with the goal of passing the final moment.

At this moment, the world changed drastically again, and the Knight King subconsciously cast his gaze to the north.

The great guardian node somewhere has failed again!

At the same time, in the north of Bretania, the mysterious place across the sea, the island of Orbion, which is always covered by dense fog.

North of the Great Ocean and west of the Norsca Coast.

When the ancient sage descended on this world, the sages caught a glance at the good place of Orbien Island, where the sun is shining, all seasons are like spring, and the crops are abundant. The ancient sage chose this place as an important stronghold.

At that time, there were human beings in Orbion. The ancient sage chose to personally teach the human prophecy and mantra spells here. These primitive humans are called "truth messengers". It is said that these truth messengers have brought the fire of civilization to other human beings. , It is said that there is no intelligence to verify the authenticity.

After that, everyone knows that the two-pole portal of the ancient sage collapsed, and the mortal enemy Chaos came to the door. No one knew whether the ancient sage escaped or was completely destroyed, but before leaving, the ancient sage left Obien with two things. This can be called an extremely rich heritage-the megalithic circle and the ancient giant.

The megalithic circle produced a huge enchantment, limiting the corruption of chaos to Norsca no longer invading south, and the ancient giants showed incomparably powerful power to repel the chaotic invaders, and persisted until the maelstrom was built and the chaos faded. .

But the cost is also huge. The fog covered the sun and the sky, and then heavy rain and storm followed. The whole of Orbian was quickly transformed into a rainy and muddy swamp. The sunny past was no longer, and the truth messenger tribes Due to the extreme isolation from the outside world and the passage of time, a large number of close relatives have become more and more foolish and lose the knowledge left by the ancient sages, and the ancient giants have gradually degenerated into a group of fools.

Thousands of years later, the original demon prince, Birak, descended on Orbien.

Birak is the first demon prince in the universe. It used to be under the four gods and above the ten thousand demons and received the powerful blessings of the four gods at the same time. However, Birak always had the ambition to become the fifth **** of chaos and began to resist the four. God’s command, so Tecchi cursed and took away its body in order to punish its arrogance. Birak was forced to turn into a group of shadows. Most of his strength was taken away and injected into the chaos artifact-the crown of sovereignty. Since then, he has become a soul twisted in madness and chaos all day long.

Bilak has only one task left, and that is to care for the crown of dominance, to crown the warrior who has passed the qualification examination and become the new chaos eternal god's choice and serve him as a pony.

After repeating this a few times, Bilak also occasionally woke up when he stared at Orbien’s megalithic circle. The original demon prince corrupted the few remaining truth messengers on the island and made them think that he was an ancient sage. Worship it as a god.

Then, after corrupting some of the Power Speakers into Dark Envoys, Bilak successfully obtained the ancient sage energy in the megalithic circle, and almost recovered his physical body. Unfortunately, he was defeated and eventually defeated by the Order Alliance of High Precision, Humans and Lizardmen.

But just today, Birak’s seal was opened by a traveler. After decades of searching, he finally found the original demon prince.

"Where is the Crown of Domination?" The traveler's words were a bit pleasant and bored.

"Aha, another self-righteous idiot wants to go to his destined destiny!" Bilak just woke up from his madness. The original demon prince was full of purplish red, and his appearance was terrifying enough to scare mortals even to death. .

"I'll ask one last time, where is the crown of dominance?" The chaos artifact Kingslayer unsheathed, and the chaos great demon Uzul within the sword was about to move.

"It's really straightforward... The last artifact, the Crown of Domination, is in the Chaos Temple in the depths of the Blade's Edge Mountain in the north of the Roof of the World!"

"Take me, immediately!"

"as you wish."
