Chapter 122 God's Throne
With the development of agriculture and production, the life of the people of the empire improved day by day.
More and more people are wearing exquisite and beautiful clothes of high quality and low price, living in sturdy and warm brick and concrete houses, mirrors, sugar, soap, glassware, these luxuries they once never dared to imagine. , has also become a daily necessities they can afford.
Everyone felt as if they were dreaming. The changes in their lives were too great and too fast, making it difficult for them to adapt for a while.
But they knew very well in their hearts who brought them this paradise-like life that they could only dream of in dreams in the past.
It was their emperor, their god, who rescued them from hell and brought the heaven in their dreams to earth.
While people are amazed and enjoying the changes in their lives, their belief in Chen Mo has become more and more pious. What is all this if it is not a miracle?
Chen Mo's construction of people's livelihood is far more than that.
In addition to the construction and development of a large number of civilian production industries, in order to facilitate the flow of economic materials and improve transportation, Chen Mo has built large-scale roads across the country, and built water conservancy facilities to ensure agricultural irrigation and develop waterway transportation.
In order to improve the cultural level of the whole people and cultivate talents in various industries, Chen Mo has built a large number of schools across the country, popularized education, and gradually promoted the nine-year compulsory education system.
Now that the problem of food and clothing has been solved, young children no longer need to help the family to herd sheep and farm the land, and can go to school to learn knowledge.
However, the number of teachers is a big problem. In this era, only nobles have the opportunity to read and learn. Ordinary commoners can’t even fill their stomachs, so how can they have the will and ability to learn.
Fortunately, Chen Mo did not slaughter the nobles when he conquered the European continent. As long as he was willing to surrender, Chen Mo guaranteed their personal and property safety.
It's just that without the income of the territory, a large number of noble families began to sit on the mountain. Although many capable nobles were reused by Chen Mo and assigned to different positions to help him manage the territory and handle government affairs, many nobles still began to appear financially. question.
At this time, Chen Mo pointed out a way for them to enter the school and become a teacher, teaching children knowledge to earn wages.
At this time, they had already lost their original noble titles, and they continued to pretend to be nobility. the way of man.
Agriculture, industry, economy, transportation, water conservancy, education have ushered in great development, and various construction and production are in full swing all over the country.
And beside Chen Mo, a few kilometers away from Blackrock Castle, a huge city is being built little by little.
Chen Mo's first batch of residents had already moved in and became the first residents of the imperial capital.
In the very middle of this huge city, a tall and magnificent Gothic church built of reinforced concrete and bricks and bricks stands. This is the Temple of the Empire, where all the people of the Empire believe.
On the spacious and clean streets, people wear beautiful and neat clothes, and their faces are full of happiness and contentment.
On the side of the road, a wide and square long carriage slowly stopped under the wooden bus stop sign. The people who arrived at the station filed out from the door behind the carriage and walked towards their respective destinations. There was also a neat line to board the carriage from the front door in turn.
This is obviously Chen Mo's idea.
Public carriages like this can be seen everywhere on every street in the city, which greatly facilitates people's travel.
In a huge square, many people strolled in it, old people sat on benches basking in the sun, and children laughed and ran in the square, making trouble, who would have thought that they were still hungry a few years ago Worrying about food with his stomach full, not fully clothed, and precarious, he may be buried in the mouth of a werewolf at any time.
Since he ascended the throne, Chen Mo has spent three years transforming this originally chaotic and dark Europe,
A stable and prosperous civilized society was built, the long and dark Middle Ages ended prematurely, and Europe entered a new period of rapid development.
Chen Mo, who has brought his territory and country on the right track, fulfilled his responsibilities as a lord and king to his own people, and had a good experience of country building, is ready to leave.
But before leaving, Chen Mo still has many things to arrange.
On this day, in the study, Chen Mo called the four of Andrew to him.
"I'm about to leave here."
Looking at the four people standing upright in front of him, Chen Mo said slowly.
"Master, are you going back to the kingdom of God?"
Andrew asked quickly after hearing the words.
Chen Mo nodded lightly and said in a deep voice.
"After I leave, the empire needs a new emperor."
Having said that, Chen Mo looked at Andrew, who is now the first.
"Andrew, you have been with me the longest, and you will take over the throne."
When Andrew heard the words, he didn't have the slightest hint of emotion. Instead, he knelt down on the ground and said excitedly.
"No, master! The empire will always be your empire, and I will always be your most loyal knight."
Andrew was a pure warrior, a loyal knight, and it was hard for him to take him in the place of his loyal master.
Moreover, Andrew is not very interested in the throne of the emperor. He was originally Chen Mo's first confidant. In the empire, it can be said that one person is below ten thousand people. He knows the taste of power, but he is not obsessed with it. Being immersed in the daily affairs of government, he prefers to fight with his knightly brothers, or take off his armor and live with his beloved, which is more attractive to him than the throne. .
He already has eternal life and everything he dreams of, what else is he not satisfied with.
Seeing Andrew's firm attitude, Chen Mo shook his head gently, and then turned to look at Victor next to him.
Before Chen Mo could speak, Victor knelt down.
"Master, no one can replace your throne!"
Although Victor used to be a lord, he didn't have much ambition. Now his status is high enough for him. To be able to reach today's height, he is a duke of a country. This is something he never thought of before. Yes, as for the emperor of the empire, only Chen Mo is the supreme existence in his heart, as for himself, he does not have this qualification.
Chen Mo was helpless and turned his attention to Amelia again.
"Owner!"
Amelia fell to her knees. Although she didn't directly refuse, Chen Mo already knew the answer from her face.
In her eyes, the throne is probably not more attractive than her marquis castle.
In the end, Chen Mo looked at Marcus with a deep expression on his face. Under Chen Mo's inexplicable eyes, Marcus's heart tightened and he knelt down quickly, bowing his head deeply, not daring to say a word.
In the past, he might have yearned for the supreme position, but now he has no such thoughts.
Even if the throne representing the supreme power of the empire was placed in front of him, he would not dare to touch it at all, because it belonged to Chen Mo's throne!
When he first joined Chen Mo, he had a different mind, and wanted to use Chen Mo's power to seek higher rights and status. Now, he has already realized his ambition. The ruling class of the European continent, one of the few people standing at the top.
But his ambitions have come to an end. He is already satisfied with his current status. It belongs to Chen Mo's highest position, and he dare not move any thoughts. The longer he stays under Chen Mo's command, the more he feels Chen Mo's deep feelings. Unpredictable.
At first, he suspected that Chen Mo was just a powerful human being, but as he learned more and more about Chen Mo, he found that Chen Mo was full of countless mysteries, and the magic in him could not be explained by common sense.
He seems to be omniscient and omnipotent. Not only is he extremely powerful, but he also has countless advanced technologies and knowledge and ideas beyond this era in his hands. These things are more awe-inspiring than his strength.
Because power may be obtained through mutation like him, but knowledge cannot, then there is only one possibility to explain it. Chen Mo is really a god who came to the world from the kingdom of heaven!
Confirming Chen Mo's identity in his heart, Marcus's fear and reverence for Chen Mo also deepened. He only dared to revere and worship the throne that Chen Mo gave up, but he did not dare to go up to the throne of God.
In the short moment just now, he had already thought clearly. He didn't dare to sit in that position. Instead of worrying about seeking rights that did not belong to him, it was better to be the Duke of his Empire and the elder of the blood clan.
Marcus's thoughts couldn't escape Chen Mo's keen perception. Marcus, who was kneeling on the ground with his head down, didn't know that he had just walked past the gate of hell. The coveted throne, now he should have been killed by Chen Mo with a sword!
Chen Mo still had a grudge against the cold and ambitious ancestor of the vampire in this movie. He was never allowed to join the hunt for Alexander Covenus, but was sent to the Eastern battlefield to conquer him. Eastern European territories.
The knights under his command are all loyal to Chen Mo, unlike Andrew, Victor and Amelia, who each have their own core subordinates. The knights who follow him only accept his command during the war. At the end, he returned to the state of being alone, unable to mobilize any knight at will.
Therefore, Marcus can be said to be the one with the least power among the four vampire elders. After all, although he is loyal to Chen Mo, he is more in awe. In terms of piety, he is slightly inferior to other knights. Not to mention the three Andrews with the most steadfast beliefs.
He didn't even know that his father, Alexander Corvinus, was in the castle.
