Chapter 358: Bureaucrats Can Be Ignored

Since he was chosen by the ministers to be the emperor thousands of years ago, the first ancestor of the Dai family was naturally given a surname that had nothing to do with him.

But what was the original surname of the Dai family? Zelun would only be curious and would not delve into it like a historian.

Because for Zelun, a person's surname is often just the focus of others' attention. As for the name itself, he may not need to show it off often.

The people of the Krurod Empire have their own names, which are just codes for easy recording or marks for others to call them. What's more, if you look back further, the people of the Krurod Empire used to be slaves of the human race.

Slaves don't have any proper names, they just have one code after another.

Later, when the Krurod Empire was established, the people at that time changed all such codes, seriously renamed themselves, and then created or were given various surnames.

Just like Zelun's ancestor, Dai, this is the surname forced by the ministers.

But now, it really doesn't make much difference what the surname is. After all, the Krurod Empire had completed the task of having a surname for every household a thousand years ago, which was completely beyond the reach of those tribes and chiefdoms that were nobles because they had surnames.

Moreover, Zelun also admired it. For example, the Akitsu Empire had a history of only 170 years in which all people had surnames. They used to do population registration...

Isn't this really creating trouble for yourself? When there are many duplicate names, it is easy to make mistakes in household registration. If there are mistakes in household registration, there will be many things that are very difficult to deal with in a country.

You should know how many citizens a country has, which is the first standard for measuring its national strength. If you can't even do a good job in household registration, then don't think too much about the next things, and chaos is an inevitable result.

Because the household registration work is not done well and the surname issues are not resolved, there will definitely be civil strife among the people of a country.

Conscription and taxation are enough to drive the rulers above crazy.

The basic strategy of a country is based on how many citizens it has, how many resources it has, and what it lacks at present.

Therefore, Zelun can only say that his gifts should be good at disobeying his own things. Apart from other things, he now has no worries about sleeping with a female companion at night, and the people outside will probably say all kinds of unpleasant things about him in private.

But...

What else can he say?

The Krulod Empire has always been a monarchy, and when a monarchy has a living space for republican ideas, he, as a monarch, must not use violence to solve problems like his grandfather.

Must be gentle.

Even if it does so, the Krulod Empire is likely to face a republican change again, and the Dai family royal family may become the burial objects of the empire at some point. But if the Dai family really falls to this point, it can only mean one thing.

It's time for the Dai family to perish.

Therefore, if the royal family wants to survive, the army and the people's hearts are indispensable. Bureaucrats can be ignored, but the voices of the military and the people cannot be ignored.

King Junwu of the Gaomu royal family is a very warning negative lesson.

It seems that the purpose of this guy's existence is just to ride on the heads of the people and harm his own people in various ways?

In short, Zelun himself did not want to ask too much, lest he be accused of "interfering in internal affairs" by the Takagi Kingdom. Even now, he was not afraid at all.

At most, he could send a chaotic bullet over to see how many guys in the Takagi Kingdom could pretend to be heroes.

After all, the black-haired dog-headed people were basically bullies who only feared the strong. In front of the mechanical creations of the Krurod Empire, they would probably be treated as a gift even if they died without a complete corpse.

And...

Junwu: "Drag this trash out and beat him up!"

Compared to Zelun, who seemed to be not in charge of politics, but was very clear about the current situation of the country and the needs of the people, and understood the next national development plan, King Junwu, who was constantly roaring in the palace, was extremely annoyed.

Wanxi's liberation forces won another encirclement and suppression, and they were in cahoots with the "barbarians" in the south, engaging in an increasingly obvious arms trade.

So, upon hearing the news, Junwu could not help his anger and directly sent a certain guard who reported to the shooting range for execution.

Let's put it this way.

Wan Xi liberated his forces and won the battle, killing more than a thousand pig-headed people. Blowing up a lot of war machines is not the most fatal thing.

The problem is the "bastards" in the south.

What kind of deal is there with the "bastards" in the south, and selling the weapons and equipment of the pig-headed people for money?

Isn't this a degrading act of succumbing to the feet of stinky women?

Obviously, King Junwu completely despises women, and cannot accept the idea of ​​women being superior to men in the matriarchal society being introduced into his country.

This is a challenge to the national dignity of the Gaomu Kingdom!

However, accompanied by the scene of a guard being smashed into pieces by a cannon and screaming in an extremely shrill voice, King Junwu is deeply aware that his country's national strength is not good, and it is impossible to confront the "bastard" concentration camp (one of his contemptuous names for the Negan Empire) for a long time.

Especially as the Negan Empire is one of the two major powers in the Neoland continent, the Gaomu Kingdom is its only land neighbor. For this reason, the Takagi Kingdom deliberately did not waste time and money on building infrastructure in the southern border areas, and did not even repair standard roads. This was precisely to guard against the northern expedition of the "bastards".

You must know that these inferior bastards who only recognized their mother and not their father once paraded in Takata City with great arrogance. Therefore, let alone building roads, Junwu has to make the roads in the southern border areas even worse. Otherwise, they can more easily enter Takata City for the second time, continue to conduct a second military parade in the palace square, and force the Takagi Kingdom to kneel to the Negan Empire for the second time and become a slave state.

Although in terms of actual benefits, except for the unequal treaty restrictions on customs and salt taxes in the Negan Empire's business, the Takagi Kingdom actually did not suffer any obvious losses.

Even in terms of food, the Takagi Kingdom has learned three cooking methods: boiling, stewing, and stewing.

But……

The Negan Empire is completely incompatible with the Takagi Kingdom in terms of culture.

Not to mention the concept of men and women, the relationship between men and women in the Negan Empire is notoriously chaotic, so much so that their country has a policy of children taking their mother's surname to avoid the embarrassment of basically not knowing who their father is. Just one language. Don't think that a country that was a slave before would naturally choose to learn the language of the overlord country and make it the only official legal language.

Sadly, no.

The Kingdom of Takagi originally had its own language and characters. However, as a phonetic symbol, such language and characters have long had the embarrassment of having the same pronunciation and the same word as "arson" which equals "fire prevention". Therefore, after repeated careful consideration, the Takagi Kingdom did not hesitate to choose another suzerain country - the Akitsu Empire, which had just established a colony in the central and western part of the Neoland continent.

As for why...it's simple.

The Akijin Empire at that time had experienced a hundred years of civil war, and after reunification it was not as arrogant and rude as it is today. On the contrary, the Akitsu Empire at that time was easier to talk to than the Negan Empire, and there were even no embarrassing political and economic conditions. Therefore, the Takagi Kingdom soon regarded the language of the Akitsu Empire as its only legal language, in exchange for the Akitsu Empire, which was so easy to talk to, to provide more military assistance to fight against the Negan Empire, which was culturally incompatible with itself.

What's more, the Akitsu Empire has a place like the Takagi Kingdom. Everyone is a country where men are superior to women, and there is still a common language basis.

Even as the exchanges deepened later, it was discovered that the pig-headed people of the Akijin Empire had a Yanliu culture that was not acceptable to everyone, but this did not make King Takagi too disgusted at the time. After all, this matter was only an internal matter within the Akijin Empire at that time and had absolutely nothing to do with the outside world.

The only thing is that there is a "bastard concentration camp" in the south, and there is a group of "freaks" on the other side of the western ocean with demon blood flowing in their bodies (i.e., the Rimai people of the Krurod Empire, they are human corpses injected with demons) Bioengineered products after blood) there have always been significant objections...
