Chapter 335 Implementing Policies
The Jade Palace was still brightly lit late at night. There are many ways for a king to live, and Caesar III chose the most tiring one.
He has turned the tide since he came to power, and now he has solved the threat of orcs and fulfilled the long-cherished wish of his ancestors for hundreds of years. However, new challenges come again, and it seems that things will never be finished.
He kept moving forward despite the pressure and burden, which resulted in the revival of the royal family and the stability of the kingdom.
“Little Caesar, given the current international situation, the kingdom needs to deepen its alliance with the Principality of Moxi.
It just so happens that you are old enough to get married, and I want you to marry Princess Anne of the Principality of Moxi. You have met the person in person, how do you feel? "
The question was obviously a bit redundant. From the smile on his face, you can see what Crown Prince Caesar is thinking.
When he was in the Principality of Moxi, he was obsessed with Princess Anne. If it hadn't been for the huge defeat on the battlefield, he would have proposed marriage long ago.
Unexpectedly, the defeat on the battlefield caused him to lose his right to speak. Including the right to choose one's own marriage, everything was ruined in a big defeat.
I had already given up on it, but I didn’t expect that one day it would take a turn for the worse.
"No problem! As the crown prince of the kingdom, I have the obligation to contribute to the cause of the kingdom!"
Crown Prince Caesar said happily.
In a political marriage, you can marry the person you like, but you are lucky.
If the international situation had not changed and the two "bad brothers" of the Kingdom of Alpha and the Principality of Moxi needed to stick together for warmth, this marriage would not have been approved at all.
"Don't be too happy. Things haven't been settled yet, and there may be twists and turns along the way."
Caesar III said with a headache.
In the last great defeat, Crown Prince Caesar destroyed not only tens of thousands of troops from the Alpha Kingdom, but also hundreds of thousands of Mossi troops.
Even now, Crown Prince Caesar's reputation in the Principality of Moxi is negative. He is not an ideal marriage partner for the Mossi royal family at all.
In fact, Caesar III also considered selecting marriage partners from among the country's great nobles to help his son consolidate his position.
However, marriage is not only a matter of being well-matched, but also depends on luck.
The few big families in the kingdom that he could catch his eye happened to have no girls of the right age. Either already married, or too young.
The one who is closest in age is only seven years old now, and what’s even more embarrassing is that she is already engaged. Even if Crown Prince Caesar wants to wait, he has no chance.
The conditions were relaxed to all the great nobles, and the one who met the requirements the most was the late Duke Pias, who had a fourteen-year-old legitimate daughter who was not engaged.
There is no doubt that this marriage is impossible to pass. After finally suppressing the arrogance of the northern nobles, how could Caesar III release them?
Upon hearing the twists and turns, Crown Prince Caesar's face instantly fell. It’s self-evident what the twists and turns are, they were all caused by me, and I can’t even try to take the blame.
After the small episode, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. The Prime Minister on the side, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, took advantage of the situation and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, the Warcraft Legion plan has been officially launched.
So far, more than two-thirds of the countries in the Northern Continent have joined this plan. The remaining countries will most likely choose to join.
After much discussion, there are currently two options to choose from:
First, all parties will jointly provide human, financial and material resources to promote the implementation of the plan. After the Warcraft is cultivated to almost adulthood, it will be distributed according to their respective contributions.
Second, everyone will bear the initial investment together. After the cubs are born, everyone will directly distribute the cubs in proportion to the previous investment. The subsequent training of Warcraft will be carried out independently.
Perhaps out of some concern, most countries prefer the second approach, preferring to raise their cubs into adulthood. "
There is no doubt that everyone is worried about themselves.
Originally, the Alpha Kingdom was the most powerful kingdom in the Northern Continent, and the World of Warcraft breeding base was placed here. If conflicts occurred in the future, it was entirely possible to detain everyone's Warcraft.
It's useless to sign a contract, no matter how strong the restraint is, it is timely. No matter how many promises they make, once they are no longer in office, they may be overturned by latecomers at any time.
There is no way around trust issues. It is obviously impossible to achieve close cooperation.
"That's all, they want to take away the cubs directly, and we can't stop them, so just let them go.
But pharmaceutical research and development still requires everyone to work together. Otherwise, we don’t know how long it will take for the kingdom’s power to catch up with the mainland’s top level.
All countries in the Northern Continent have similar problems, and this is the basis for our cooperation.
Send people and representatives from all parties to communicate. The Warcraft cubs can be distributed directly after they are born, but some of them must be left for experiments. All countries will send people together to jointly develop potions that promote the growth of monsters. "
Caesar III said after sighing.
Working together is the best option, but the trust issue cannot be resolved.
There must be shadows of other forces behind this, otherwise even if there is a fuss, it will not be so fast. At the very least, these problems will not arise until a large number of Warcraft cubs are born.
If the optimal state cannot be achieved, then the next best thing is to come up with a potion that promotes the growth and development of monsters.
To be precise, it is based on the original medicine with certain improvements.
Potions that promote the growth of Warcraft are actually available in the hands of almost all the major forces in the mainland. It's just that these medicines either have too many side effects or the cost is too high.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid things are not that simple. Everyone's environment is different, and the female beast they choose may not be the same.
According to research from various countries in the south, although medicines that promote the growth of monsters are effective on most monsters, their effects on different monsters are not the same.
Even if it is joint research and development, I am afraid that everyone will be more inclined to configure exclusive potions for their own sub-dragon monsters.
Those who can truly cooperate are those with the same race as the mother beast. And there are also big reservations about this kind of cooperation.
The greater significance of bringing everyone together for joint research and development is probably to enable timely communication, rather than research and development. "
The Minister of Military Affairs, Archduke Efiero, said depressedly.
The plan was put forward by the Ministry of Military Affairs, but as the progress progressed, he was embarrassed to find that there were more and more troubles.
"I don't want to listen to these meaningless complaints. You all know how the kingdom's finances are doing.
Now we must rely on a limited budget to complete the Warcraft Legion plan. If we can reduce costs, we should reduce costs as much as possible, so alliance is imperative.
If there are any problems that may arise during the joint process, we should find ways to coordinate and resolve them. We are worried, and those small countries will only become more worried.
Little Caesar, you come along and help. This plan: only success, no failure! "
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a cough. It can be seen from the blood stains on the handkerchief that Caesar III's health was very bad.
He should be under the supervision of the crown prince and recuperate on his own, but he is worried about Little Caesar!
Theoretically, this kind of important project that is easy to produce results should be presided over by the crown prince to gain political achievements.
But feeling uncertain, Caesar III finally decided to let his son study with him.
…
Mountain collar.
With the end of the lord's wedding, the territory's "Three-Year Development Plan" was also put on the agenda, and various projects were carried out in an orderly manner.
What has caused the most heated discussion is the measures to encourage childbirth. It involves everyone's vital interests, so it is naturally discussed the most.
Strict orders were being issued one after another, and the security guards who were responsible for their implementation looked really worried.
"Sir Kane, we have to focus on production and fertility. We are really too busy!"
Sova said with a depressed look.
As one of the guardians of the territory, Sova is also a special being. In the past three years, the team he led has ranked first in land reclamation for three consecutive years.
Logically speaking, in the mountainous territory where there is a serious shortage of excellent managers, such outstanding security guards should have been promoted long ago.
Perseveringly, Naisowa is an illiterate person. He can manage just one bailout, but he will be blind if he goes up to the next level.
It was no use sending him to a literacy class. He seemed to be insulated from cultural knowledge. After a month of hard work, he learned his own name.
I was promoted twice, but after working for less than ten days, I voluntarily resigned and came back and continued to be the junior security guard.
There is more than one similar grassroots official. Without education, their personal upper limit is so low.
In any case, top students who are commended every year are still very popular with the leaders in charge of land reclamation projects. If there were more grassroots officials like this who were down-to-earth and willing to work, the results at the end of the year would be better.
"Chief Suowa, you have to implement it despite your busy schedule! The lord personally issued a strict order, and the population must be increased.
In recent years, we have opened up a lot of land, and we will continue to open up wasteland in the future. With so much good land, we can't just let it go uncultivated, right?
As for the issue of encouraging fertility and affecting production, it is actually controllable. Even if you are pregnant, it will not affect your ability to work!
What's more, women get pregnant one after another. Except during maternity leave, pregnant women cannot do heavy work at other times, but they can also do some simple things.
Anyway, all Baojia must implement the policy of encouraging childbirth, and you are not the only one who will be affected, and it will not affect the final selection. "
Kane explained patiently.
The Lord's order is an imperial edict here. In the minds of grassroots officials, Hudson's status is still unparalleled.
Everyone came here to hang out with him. Compared with the hungry days in the past, although there was a lot of work in the mountainous area, it was enough to eat!
Especially after becoming an official, even for the lowest level existence, life has changed drastically from before.
"Okay, since the lord personally gave the order, I will implement it according to the regulations!"
Sowa replied bravely.
It’s just the sadness in my heart that still lingers. The reward given to encourage fertility this time was meat. He was very clear about the temptation of this thing to the subjects.
In normal times, you can’t eat meat twice a month, but now you can get it after giving birth. And the more children you have, the more rewards you get.
Not to mention other people, even him, the security guard, was a little tempted and considered whether to have two more.
After all, he had only given birth to seven cubs in his family, and only four survived. He was still far from the lord's goal of having ten outstanding children.
Once everyone works hard to create people, the progress of land reclamation will inevitably be affected. Unable to think of a solution, Sova simply got into trouble.
Anyway, the order was given by the lord, so it’s just a matter of executing it according to the regulations. It will slightly affect the progress of land reclamation, so I guess the problem won't be too big.
After appeasing the excellent employees and looking at everyone, Kane continued to ask: "Does anyone else have any questions?"
This is not a show, but a real solution to a problem. Faced with the target of 60,000 new infants and young children set by the Lord within three years, it will be impossible to achieve it if we don’t work hard.
What's even more troublesome is that it's not just about giving birth, but also about increasing the baby's survival rate. Strive to control the infant mortality rate within 25% in three years.
Of course, this data only counts healthy babies. If there is a congenital problem, there is no solution. The current medical technology has no solution.
In fact, not only is the infant mortality rate high, the infant mortality rate is also low.
The probability of a baby growing up from birth to adulthood is no more than half. Any disease or accident may take away a life.
Even if it is a noble family, the probability is not too high. Many families experience extermination not because they don't have children, but because the children they give birth to fail to grow up.
It is precisely because of the low survival rate that it is necessary to reproduce more. Only by having enough children can one ensure the existence of heirs.
"Sir Kane, you just said that after the child is born, he will be blessed by the priest. Is this true?"
Kane almost choked when he heard the old man's question. Is this what should be focused on?
It is a tradition in the Aslant continent that babies and young children are born and receive baptismal blessings from priests. However, with the failure of the Holy See, this tradition has been abandoned in the aristocratic circles for many years.
For no other reason than the cumbersome baptismal blessing process may lead to the death of an infant.
Especially in the twelfth lunar month of winter, when you are baptized naked, the probability of an accident is higher.
According to the Holy See, this person is possessed by a demon and belongs to an unknown person who cannot bear the blessings of the gods.
This kind of nonsense will only fool the people at the bottom. The great nobles who knew the nature of the Holy See did not take this seriously at all.
Especially for some families who have difficulty in producing offspring, it is not easy for them to obtain an offspring. If they participate in a baptism that is risky, wouldn't they be mentally ill?
What goes up takes effect, and this ancient tradition was soon broken. In an anti-Catholic country like the Kingdom of Alpha, the baptismal ceremony was even explicitly modified.
Inviting the priest to go through the motions is considered a completion of the ceremony. This is already the practice of devout believers.
"Of course it's true. When the child reaches seven years old, the territory will organize a priest to conduct a collective blessing."
Kane immediately made amends.
The infant mortality rate is already high, so if you try to mess with a newborn baby, the lord will probably give him a whip later.
After the age of seven, those with poor physical fitness will be eliminated by the laws of nature. When the time comes to perform a symbolic ceremony, it won't be a big problem.
"That's it. I will definitely give my son more sons! The great Lord of the Dawn will finally take care of my family this time..."
The old man said with a glowing face, his whole mental state had improved a lot, and the pious look on his brows made Kane frown.
After scanning the scene, he was helpless to find that many grassroots officials showed excited expressions at this moment.
