Chapter 297: Reform and Strengthening

Kenlohag nodded. Although he did not want to offend Feng Willow, the empire also had to save its reputation. If a noble could wantonly break the rules of the empire just because he was powerful, then where would the dignity of the empire be?
What if powerful nobles follow suit in the future? Especially now that the empire is really weak, Kenlohag knows that the weaker the empire is, the more it needs to be strong to suppress the many ambitious people. Otherwise, it will be a situation where everyone will push down the wall when it falls.

He just wanted to have a good talk with von Willow and explain the difficulties the empire was facing. He hoped that Grand Duke von Willow would understand him and give him, the emperor, some face.

The empire was not strong enough, and he felt frustrated as the emperor.

"Okay, send a message to Grand Duke von Willow and ask him to come to the capital and give the Empire an explanation for declaring war without permission." Kenlohag said majestically. But only he knew how guilty he felt.

"Your Majesty, we just sent a message to Grand Duke von Willow, who said that he has already set out and should arrive in the capital tonight or tomorrow." A waiter reported to the emperor.

"It seems that Grand Duke Willow still has the empire in his heart! As long as there is a satisfactory explanation for this matter, it will be fine." Kenlohag breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news.

He just received news that there were three thousand more powerful Fire Crow monsters under Feng Willow's command. His exact strength was unclear, but they were definitely not low-sequence monsters, at least mid-sequence monsters.

Not to mention Feng Willow's own strength and the power of the dragons and hydras around him, these three thousand fire crow monsters alone are not much worse than the most powerful army of the empire.

Once a real war breaks out, maybe the current Viking Empire won't be able to defeat Von Willow, which would be really embarrassing.

Moril was very fast, much faster than the officials expected, and arrived at the capital in the afternoon. Feng Willow took Saiyan directly to the palace to meet Kenlohag.

"Your Majesty." Feng Willow was the first to salute the Emperor Kenlohag. Feng Willow had never thought of breaking up with the Emperor. That would not be good for him, so he still had to follow the proper etiquette.

If Kenlohag can cooperate with him to reform and strengthen the Viking Empire, that would be the best result. From this point of view, at this stage, the interests and ideals of von Willow and Kenlohag are consistent, and both want to make the Viking Empire great again.

“Grand Duke Willow, there is no need to be so polite. Without your help, I would not be able to sit on the throne of the emperor. We have been on the battlefield together before, and we are the closest comrades-in-arms.

I hope that in the future, we can still fight side by side and make the Viking Empire strong again." Kenlohag said sincerely. No matter what he thought in his heart, at least he showed an appearance of loyalty and righteousness.

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I think in my heart. I also hope that the Viking Empire can become great again. But you can see the current situation. The continuous natural disasters and man-made disasters have made our national strength worse and worse.

Moreover, at this time, the nobles still had their own ulterior motives. Instead of uniting, they pulled each other back and wanted to tear a piece of meat from their companions. In such an environment, how can our Viking Empire become stronger? "Feng Willow also said sincerely.

What he said was not a lie. He really wanted to make the Viking Empire stronger. Only when the empire became stronger could he steal more of the country's fortune to cultivate quickly.

If he didn't have the help of national destiny, it would take too long for him to break through to Sequence 2. He couldn't wait, maybe the gods would revive at any time. This was like a sword hanging over Feng Willow's head.

"Okay, then let us, the king and his subjects, work together to make our empire great again." Kenlohag seemed extremely excited.

"Then I wonder, Your Majesty, what policies or methods have you prepared to make the empire great again?" Feng Willow asked with concern.

This question stunned Kenlohag. He really didn't have any good solution. Although Kenlohag was a genius in military affairs, it was his first time to be an emperor. Moreover, he had not received any education as an emperor.

"Your Majesty, if we stick to the current national policy, our country will only become weaker and weaker. In the past, we used this policy, but we were destroyed by a cult.

Now all countries are reforming and becoming stronger. They have more or less made some policy changes to adapt to the times so that the empire can become more and more powerful.

But our Viking Empire remains unchanged, and the result is that it is getting weaker and weaker. But the weaker it is now, the more you dare not change the law, and in the end, the only way waiting for us is destruction. "Feng Willow persuaded in the same excited tone.

Kenlohag was somewhat moved by what Feng Willow said. He also knew that the current empire was indeed sick, and to remain unchanged would be equivalent to relying on the body to fight. If it could survive, it would recover, and if it couldn't, it would die.

But even if they managed to survive, they would still be far inferior to the other three empires. Their Viking Empire was still at the bottom. As a young and capable emperor, Kenlohag naturally wanted to make a difference.

At this time, he also remembered Feng Willow's previous proposal, land reform, nationalizing the land and then renting it to farmers for cultivation. But can this method really strengthen the country? He expressed doubts. After all, it touched the interests of all the nobles.

"Grand Duke Willow, will the reforms you mentioned really work? I'm not afraid of offending the nobles, but I'm afraid that after we offend all the nobles, we won't see any results. That would be fatal to the current Viking Empire. I can't take this risk." Kenlohag said sincerely.

"I understand what Your Majesty said, but I think Your Majesty can take a look at my territory first. For more than a year, I have been implementing this policy in my territory.

To be honest, I didn't make much money, but I did get a lot of food. The first step is to feed the people under my command.

With these grains, I can use them to support education. I have achieved universal education, and everyone is literate. Next, I will develop industry and commerce to make money. When I have enough money, I will train civilian sequencers on a large scale.

The number of nobles is too small, which undoubtedly greatly limits our sequencer army and also limits the strength of our empire.

As the demon tide rises again, low-level resources are increasing, and the price is getting lower and lower. If we only train some sequence nines, I think we can still train a large number of them. Then we can select excellent sequencers from them to train. Although the resources consumed will be very large, it is worth it. As long as our empire has a strong sequencer army, our Viking Empire will eventually become the most powerful among the four empires again.

Only in this way can we keep up with others and become stronger and stronger in the coming great struggle." Feng Weiluo said passionately.

The scene described by Feng Willow made Kenlohag's heart beat. As an emperor, he certainly wanted his country to have as many Sequencer troops as possible.

Just a land reform would cause dissatisfaction among all the nobles. Then they wanted to train civilians on a large scale, which would be digging up the roots of the nobles.

Why are the nobles noble? Isn't it because they possess extraordinary powers? Once ordinary people become sequencers and possess extraordinary powers, how can they work for the nobles with peace of mind and support their luxurious lives?

For hundreds and thousands of years, the knowledge of sequencers has always been monopolized by the nobles. Even when extraordinary resources were the most scarce, the nobles only passed on the sequence to the eldest son who would inherit the title, and the second son and daughter would not be taught the sequence inheritance.

That is to say, with the resurgence of the demon tide, there are more and more extraordinary resources, which has led to the increase of sequencers. However, except for a few lucky ones, the vast majority of sequencers are still composed of nobles. And becoming a sequencer can become a noble, which is the consensus of everyone.

"Grand Duke Willow, I am very moved by the world you described, but as the emperor of the empire, I cannot take risks with the empire. Do you understand?" Kenlohag said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I fully understand your concerns, so I am willing to implement these policies in my three border counties first.

If it succeeds, Your Majesty, you can promote it nationwide, and I will fully support you. At that time, all opponents will face the wrath of the dragon.

If my policy doesn't work, there will be chaos in our territory. Even if the experiment fails, we can work together to find other ways to strengthen the country! What do you think? "Feng Willow said temptingly.

"Okay, let's work together for the prosperity of the Viking Empire." Kenlohag said firmly.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, then let's start with land reform. Saiya, show Your Majesty the harvest of our territory last year." Feng Willow said in a prepared tone.

Before Saiya came, he had already prepared a report on the various achievements in the territory, including the original grain production and the current grain production after the reform. The original territory income and the current territory income. Through the report, there is a clear comparison, which is clear at a glance.

Although Feng Weiluo is not a professional accountant and does not understand financial statements, it is still very easy for him to produce a simple comparison chart.

Kenlohag took the report from Saiya and widened his eyes in surprise when he saw the grain harvest was twice as much as before.

"Grand Duke Willow, if the fields are transferred from the hands of the lord to the hands of the farmers, can the grain harvest be so much more? Does this mean that the farmers are usually lazy?" Kenlohag asked in disbelief.

“Your Majesty, that’s not the case. In fact, we organized farmers to reclaim wasteland and build water conservancy projects. Through water conservancy projects, we turned low-yield fields into high-quality or medium-quality fields.

Through land reclamation, the farmland in the territory has more than doubled. This has more than doubled the grain output in the territory." Feng Willow said truthfully.

"Can't the lords open up wasteland and build water conservancy projects?" Kenlohag asked puzzledly. He really couldn't understand why there was such a big difference.

"Your Majesty, in fact, it is not possible. If the things are not theirs, the farmers will have no enthusiasm to work. It is normal for the work efficiency to be three to five times lower. Only when the harvest is theirs can the farmers take the initiative to work actively. This will improve work efficiency and increase grain production." Feng Weiluo explained.

After listening to Feng Willow's explanation, Kenlohag made up his mind that the Viking Empire had reached the point where it had to change its laws. If it continued like this, the country would soon be destroyed.

"Okay, then we, the emperor and my subjects, will work together to implement the reform, starting with land reform." Kenlohag said firmly.

"If the money earned from the land is too little, you can let the nobles open factories and make up for the less money earned from the land through business. In fact, the land doesn't make much money. Even if they squeeze the peasants, they can't make a few more gold coins. As long as Your Majesty discusses it with them...

I am using powerful military threats. I believe they are all smart people and will understand the painstaking efforts of Your Majesty and me. After all, we are also trying to make this country stronger. "Feng Willow said with a smile.

Feng Weiluo didn't care if he himself was the bad guy and let the emperor be the good guy. When it came to reforms, he was prepared to cut the meat with a blunt knife and boil the frog in warm water, reforming little by little until the end, and then he would come up with the plan for all the people to be sequenced.

No one is a fool. Whether it is Kenlohag, the good guy, or Feng Willow, the bad guy, by that time, they will become enemies of all the nobles.

Maybe Kenlohag, who always pretends to be a good guy, will be hated even more. Between traitors and external enemies, people often hate traitors more. Kenlohag, who always plays the good guy, will definitely be regarded as a traitor by the nobles in the end.

Therefore, the person who plays the good cop, unites the nobles, and persuades them to take a step back must be His Majesty the Emperor. Feng Willow is not capable of doing such a thing.

Kenlohag didn't see that far. He only saw that Feng Willow took the initiative to be the villain and asked him to play the good guy. At this moment, he felt that Feng Willow really disregarded his personal gains and losses for the prosperity of the empire.

Moreover, he came to play the good guy and stand with the nobles, not offending them, which was also what he wanted in his heart. If Feng Willow competed with him for this position, he would be anxious! (End of this chapter)
