Chapter 1217 Hegemony

Roddy didn't know much about economics, but in a world where productivity was in the medieval stage, his fragmented historical knowledge was enough to provide strategic guidance to the current Karen Kingdom.

Moreover, through his understanding of the history of the earth, what Roddy wants to do now is not just relying solely on the trade surplus to enhance national strength. For him, putting the entire kingdom in control in war is more important than improving productivity.

The knowledge Roddy learned from childhood to adulthood is actually very distinctive. For example, as a country that grew up in a country with a centralized history of more than a thousand years, when he entered the "Split", it was difficult to understand how the Karen Kingdom, which was scattered among the lords and the high aristocracy, could it be called a complete "country"...

Under this feudal governance method, war sometimes sounds like a joke, so after gaining nominal dominance through war, Roddy was always implementing and changing the originally loose system, formulating more detailed laws, and focusing his full efforts on the central government.

In peacetime, such behavior will inevitably cause tug-of-war and division of different forces. According to the previous history of the Karen Kingdom, there is not no king who has done this, but the final result is all in failure.

But for Roddy, the demon's sudden large-scale attack gave him the opportunity to "unify the front" - under the pressure of survival, the cabinet regime with absolute force had a legitimate reason to send troops everywhere in the kingdom. After all, they were the only existence that could sweep the demon.

In this process, those old noble forces who once wanted to secretly raise trouble and stumbling, even though they had chosen to stop a few months ago, now they have to bow their heads and accept the ending of being overthrown and supervised by the army...

Under the premise of "foreign war", Roddy did not rashly assemble the army and take large-scale actions, but just followed the orderly "will be alerted to save wherever you want" - as time went by, a large number of new recruits matured rapidly in repeated combat missions, and the number of transport aircraft increased to a total of eight in February.

As a result, the airborne troops of the Karen Kingdom have formed a "air police" force to patrol the continent with the dragon clan.

After "air support" became the norm, another plan of Roddy was launched.

Seven fortresses in the Karen Kingdom have successively built new military airports. After gaining the trust of four countries in the eastern countries, they have also built four airports next to their capitals.

Batches of soldiers carrying weapons became "garrisons" stationed at these airports. At the same time, they also changed from "air force airports" that initially facilitated support against the devils to a veritable "military base".

Not only is he responsible for the "guard", he also specially assigned the "trade department" to connect with local officials to carry out various trade affairs with a wide range of radiation.

In the process of continuous spread of trade, the currency of the Karen Kingdom was gradually circulated and penetrated into other countries on the mainland under the instruction of Roddy. Even many areas of Lassiman gradually used this unforgeable "currency" as hard currency.

The people in power in most countries obviously did not realize what this "paper currency" means, and were not wary of this blatant financial erosion. Some even took the initiative to include "card dollar" currency into their own financial system and set exchange rate ratios.

These small countries were not strong in their original states. The leaders were more warlord leaders than kings - because they had coups and riots almost every few years, and they would listen to whoever had a big fist.

Now when the Karen Kingdom descended in an "invincible posture", these warlord leaders desperately purchased advanced weapons to arm their subordinates in order to maintain their dominance. At the same time, they obeyed most of the Karen Kingdom's requirements.

Because they spent a lot of money on purchasing weapons, they had to trade minerals, crystals and even various rare resources in their territory. The Karen Kingdom did not seem to treat them unfairly. After a calculation, some countries even "make" back a lot. They were all beautiful and waved their hands, allowing more subjects to start mining and resource collection.

As for the life and death of these civilians, these rulers didn't care at all.

The transport planes bring those priceless magic crystals, ores and precious resources from all over the world to Hollier City and Elson City. The cost and acquisition price are countless times cheaper than the "normal" acquisition price...

This is the huge advantage brought by information gap and technology crushing. To put it bluntly, Roddy is now allowing the Kingdom of Karen to suck blood on the mainland, but these countries that are "blood-sucking" are willing to enjoy it...

When spring came again, the farmers near Hollier City did not start spring plowing in large areas as usual... The smoke from coal mines can be seen everywhere here. The factories are running day and night, but the nearby arable land is abandoned.

Because many farmers found that they had food and drink in the factory and were not expensive to live in the dormitory. Although it was hard to work for more than ten hours a day, after working like this for a year, their salary would be enough to return to the village to build a new house and get married.

Because Roddy has formulated a number of laws to protect the rights and interests of workers, even if there is a situation where the wages are violated, the salary will eventually significantly exceed the income of farmers. This is one of the huge dividends brought by industrialization. As long as the printing press is printed quickly enough, the workers will never be willing to go back to farm again.

The cabinet predicted this situation and has introduced various policies simultaneously, on the one hand, allowing arable land to integrate, allowing agriculture to develop in the direction of mechanization, improving efficiency, saving labor, and ensuring the area of ​​arable land, even if the amount of grain imported from Lassiman is high, low quality is sufficient...

These policies are just a microcosm of the kingdom. When the sunlight on the first day of March shone into the Demon Tower, Tariya put her hair behind her ears and looked at Nafi and was surprised: "It's so great! Then we will be 'colleagues'!"

"I have to work hard, otherwise I can't participate in your research at all. However, I heard that Mage Ethan has achieved good results during this period. After publishing three papers, a great magistrate has been recruiting him!"
