Chapter 226
Chapter 226
The Kingdom of Demacia has a vast territory, with a total of 18 provinces.
Although the total area is not as vast as Noxus and Freljord, it is still a behemoth with millions of square kilometers of land.
Compared with other countries, the laws of Demacia are the most friendly to ordinary people.
This country not only has a vast territory, but also has accumulated an extremely strong foundation of strength after the people have a stable life and multiply in large numbers.
In addition, in the social class of Demacia, the nobles enjoy privileges and own a large number of serfs.
These serfs are completely dependent on the noble families they belong to, and their fate is completely controlled by their masters.
It is completely different from some systems that cruelly exploit serfs.
If a serf can create value corresponding to himself through hard work.
Then he can get the permission of both the serf owner and the nobles and redeem his freedom.
From then on, he can get rid of his serf status and become a civilian with personal freedom.
Demacia encourages people to strive for freedom.
Normally, nobles would not deliberately prevent serfs from regaining their freedom, because whether or not serfs regain their freedom has little impact on the lord.
The basic laws of Demacia clearly stipulate that nobles must be responsible for their serfs, including food and medical care.
If a serf is sick and unable to work, the nobles must still provide him with food and necessary medical treatment, which undoubtedly increases the burden of expenses.
In fact, many nobles may not expect to have too many serfs.
However, even if they gain freedom and become civilians, as long as they are still within the noble territory, the wealth they create is mostly contributed to the nobles in the form of taxes.
Interestingly, a considerable number of serfs not only do not have a strong desire to get rid of their serf status, but are more willing to be content with the status quo and immerse themselves in this relatively stable and comfortable environment.
This series of Demacia laws laid down by Jarvan I is like the cornerstone of a towering building, carrying the prosperity and stability of the entire country.
The existence of these laws is not accidental, but the result of careful consideration and careful planning. Behind them are profound wisdom and insight into human nature.
Although it is strict, it also follows the principle of the superior to the inferior to the inferior in a certain sense!
As for the so-called aristocracy, in fact, there are privileged classes everywhere, and this cannot be avoided.
The purpose of all laws and regulations is to give people a greater chance of survival.
Because only by ensuring the continuation of life can people have the heart to think about other things;
Only by being alive can we have the right to look forward to the future.
The so-called "freedom" - my fate is determined by me, not by God, is certainly desirable, but if we can't even solve our own food and clothing, how can we pursue freedom?
According to the law, if serfs have a certain economic ability, they can obtain the status of freemen by redeeming themselves, that is, becoming civilians.
Such a design not only embodies the principle of fairness, but also gives people hope to change their destiny.
When they no longer worry about their livelihood, they will redeem themselves so that they can better reproduce and contribute to the development of the territory.
Jin Cheng couldn't help but sigh:
The people of Freljord are simply incomparable to the civilians of Demacia!
While the people of Freljord are still struggling and thinking about how to survive, the civilians of Demacia have long gotten rid of the most basic food and clothing problems.
At this moment, Jin Cheng sat at the spacious square table, watching Fiona arguing with the village officials, and he really had no interest in this dispute about political topics.
At the same time, Jin Cheng turned his attention to the financial officer next to him who was specially called by him, and talked happily with him.
Discussing the economic issues of the North Sea Forest.
As a Freljordian, Jin Cheng has no interest in the despicable, dirty, insidious and cunning political games that are exclusive to the nobles.
Even if he has the memories and experiences of his previous life, for Jin Cheng who can't even understand the implicit meaning of the leader's words, it is harder than climbing to the sky to understand those complex and obscure political rhetoric!
Even if he could understand, Jincheng, who always does his own thing, is too lazy to care about it now.
However, if it comes to economic matters, Jincheng can talk endlessly about a basket of opinions and insights.
"Industry to revitalize the country" - this is the concept he always believes in;
"Work instead of relief" - he believes that one of the ways to effectively solve the problem of poverty.
In addition, Jincheng also strongly advocates reducing the size of serfs as much as possible and expanding the group of free people, because only in this way can peopleThey will work tirelessly for their own interests, and then promote the improvement of the economic level of the entire territory.
Everyone has to work hard, and those who are lazy will not be able to eat enough.
And the internal drive and the pursuit of happiness are the efforts, and forcing will not last long.
As for the composting technology required for agricultural production, and other means that are beneficial to improving economic efficiency or output, there are countless in Jincheng's mind.
Jincheng knows that economic development is of great significance, and investment, consumption and exports are the "three horses" that drive economic growth.
Investment is to spend manpower and material resources to reclaim the North Sea forest and build a logging camp, consumption is to increase the number of free people, and export is naturally to exchange what is available with Freljord.
If a territory wants to prosper and develop vigorously, it is absolutely inseparable from a healthy and stable economic environment!
"......Kisinya, do you think there is something wrong with trying to free some serfs belonging to the viscount's territory?"
Jin Cheng stared at the official in front of him who was left by Sebastian to assist him in managing the financial affairs of the territory, and was secretly angry.
Faced with the suggestions he made one after another, this guy chose to deny them without hesitation.
This is thousands of years of wisdom that has been accumulated over the years.
Kisiniya showed a bitter smile on his face, and he carefully explained to Jincheng:
"No, no, no, Lord Viscount, please don't misunderstand me.
In fact, you may not know enough about our situation here.
Our North Sea Forest is vast, but sparsely populated.
Moreover, we must always be vigilant against the invasion threat from the barbaric tribes in the Freljord region!
Many times, relying solely on the power of the army cannot completely resist the attack of the Freljord people.
In this tense situation, serfs also need to shoulder the responsibility of fighting the enemy and defending their homes..."
Hearing this, Jincheng suddenly realized. That's it!
He had actually heard of this strategy of farming to resist the enemy. Now after Kisiniya's explanation, isn't this a militia!
Jincheng continued to expound his strategic ideas, while Kisiniya stood aside, still with a helpless smile on his face.
He seemed to be trying to think about how to implement these plans according to the local actual situation.
After all, there is often a certain gap between theory and practice. Only by truly adapting to local conditions can the best results be achieved.
For any territory, if you do it at will, it may cause serious consequences.
At this moment, Kisinia felt very helpless and desperate, because the newly appointed Viscount actually planned to carry out large-scale reforms to the economic system of the entire territory.
At the same time, Jincheng was thinking about the so-called territory security issue in the other party's mouth.
Although he was here, he knew in his heart that it was not easy to ensure the absolute security of the territory by his own strength.
However, it was impossible for Jincheng to say such a stupid thing as "I can protect this territory by myself".
Jincheng was still secretly thinking about how to raise enough food and successfully transport it to the distant Freljord.
This is export and import, with a lot of economic value.
In addition, the man also made it clear that he was willing to humbly accept financial advice:
"Okay, Kisinia, you know the North Sea Forest better than I do.
So, please rest assured that you should try your best to implement what I said today.
If you encounter a situation that cannot be implemented or is inappropriate, then forget it.
However, as long as it is a feasible strategy, you must make changes!
When the time is right, I will come to check it in person!
Remember, we must take steady steps and move forward step by step! We must adapt to local conditions and try them first."
When Kisinia heard Jincheng's words, the expression on his face was as if he had eaten a big lump.
"Yes, Lord Viscount!"
Kisinia's heart completely collapsed. After all, he himself was not very clear about the specific conditions of many territories, and some of the suggestions put forward by Jincheng made him feel whimsical and incredible.
However... Despite this, Kisinia still silently picked up the small notebook and began to select those relatively stable and less influential strategies from Jincheng's requirements.
For example, for composting, we only need to send people to try it.
At the same time, other officials also came to visit Jincheng.
The knights from the North Sea Forest also met with the viscounts of the Laurent family one by one.
Many of them were quite insightful.
As night fell, almost all the power belonging to the North Sea Forest was gathered in Jincheng's hands at this moment.
Not only that, the series of reform plans proposed by Jincheng have also begun to be gradually decentralized.
As for how to carry out these pilot projects, Jincheng has already made detailed instructions to the personnel in charge of related affairs.
Regarding the composting method of fertilizer, Jincheng actually has a vague memory and can only remember a little bit.
So he specifically told them to try more, hoping to find the most effective method.
As for Jincheng himself, he has always maintained a strong interest and enthusiasm in making himself stronger.
As the saying goes, "Don't forget your original intention, and you will succeed in the end."
Jincheng has never forgotten that the reason why he wants to become a lord is to make his road to becoming stronger smoother.
Therefore, he will moderately intervene in the affairs of the territory without affecting his own practice, but he will never do everything himself.
Jincheng fulfilled his promise and generously handed over a large amount of territorial power to Fiona.
However, along with these powers come equally important obligations and responsibilities.
As for the crucial military power, Jincheng confidently handed it over to Shyvana.
[North Sea Forest Army]
After taking over this important task, Shyvana, facing the serfs and militiamen who only knew how to cultivate the land, could not help but fall into long and deep thinking.
And what about Jincheng himself? At this moment, he is keen on collecting various food resources and actively preparing to form his own caravan.
Now it is the end of summer, and the preparation of the caravan is simple.
Jincheng only paid a small amount of gold coins and the promises of various shops in the town, and a caravan of all kinds appeared.
Of course, since Jincheng saw the description of Mount Targon in the books of Demacia, he began to be deeply attracted by the books.
