King

The first ray of sunshine shines on the earth in the morning. Hudson wakes up early and starts the day's work early.

"Nelson, please contact the priests in the territory privately and ask them to support the next reform of the territory. I don't want to cause trouble."

The words that cut off the beginning and end startled Nelson, and he asked in fear: "Hudson, you don't know how to carry out religious reform, do you?"

"Religious Reform" is a new term that became popular in the Aslant continent after the decline of the power of the Holy See.

Anyone who dares to carry out religious reform is a famous hero on the mainland. If ordinary nobles join in the fun, there is a high probability that they will not survive three episodes.

At present, the most active religious reformers on the continent are Charles III and Caesar III. The former wants to bring the Holy See down from the altar, while the latter touches the very foundation of the Holy See's existence.

The anti-Vatican political correctness was able to gain popularity in the Kingdom of Alpha, and Caesar III played a major role in this.

If you look at the important appointments and canonization of nobles in the kingdom, you will know that the first prerequisite is to oppose the Holy See.

This is not about shouting slogans, but about taking practical actions. If the nobles of the kingdom have contact with the Holy See, they can only do so secretly. On the surface, the Holy See has become a taboo in the aristocratic circle.

Reaching out and patting Nelson on the shoulder, Hudson laughed and said, "Don't worry, Nelson. I do things in a measured way and know what not to touch.

Even if we really want to carry out religious reform, we must propose it to His Majesty the Great King and bring the nobles of the country together to carry out it.

This time it was just to train a few pharmacists to solve the problem of serfs having difficulty in seeking medical treatment.

If the priests do not agree, let them provide medical services to the serfs free of charge. If someone kills someone or is beaten to death, just don't come to me! "

There was a strong sense of threat, and Nelson was very worried that if he really said this, he would be beaten out.

The religious power in the Mountain Territory is not strong, mainly because it is a new territory and the church's power has not had time to expand here.

But the church is still the church, even if it is split up by the nobles in the Alpha Kingdom, it is still a huge group.

If you offend this group of people, it will become a big problem for you to seek medical treatment for your injuries in the future. With the skills at hand, high-ranking priests still have a high status in the kingdom.

"Hudson, are you sure there won't be any problems if you do this?"

Nelson asked concerned.

We are all in the same boat. If something happens to Hudson, he, the eldest brother, will definitely not be able to escape being purged.

As for picking it up off the shelf and inheriting the title directly, it's better to just go to sleep, everything will happen in your dreams. In reality, the Koslow family without Hudson would simply not be able to maintain this legacy.

"Don't worry, I just received the news that the Frankish Kingdom's Arcane Academy has officially started recruiting students.

Among the subjects offered, in addition to the conventional majors of magic, knighthood, and alchemy, many strange and bizarre majors have also been added.

For example: for the first time in magic majors, necromancy is included in the teaching scope, and wizards, arcane masters, diviners also appear...

It is said that His Majesty is also very interested in this and is currently discussing with the Mages Association. If progress goes well, these majors will be added to the Kingdom's Magic Academy.

Compared with these generous efforts, the fact that I trained a few inferior pharmacists is nothing! "

Hudson said indifferently.

Planning before acting is his code of conduct. If he didn't have a big boss standing in front of him, he would not easily touch the sensitive nerves of the Holy See.

If you really get entangled, even if you are not afraid, the development of the territory will be greatly affected.

"Then I'll go talk to them. If there's no outside intervention, there shouldn't be any big trouble.

That's right, Hudson. Father asked me to remind you to restrain yourself recently and don't create any illegitimate children at this time.

He has already contacted Count Oran to formally discuss your marriage to Miss Melissa. The Holliser family is about to move, and you must get married before then! "

After hearing the news, Hudson rolled his eyes. Is he such an unreliable person?

It’s all about having fun, but we still need to distinguish between business matters. Although it is not a big deal if a noble noble has several illegitimate children, it is still very rude to do so before the wedding.

But this also reminded Hudson that he really should restrain himself. No matter what, I still have to give my fiancée some face.

Thinking of this, Hudson felt very grateful to his father-in-law. It's just his old man's plaything, so there is less pressure on Hudson.

It seems that this is not an exception. The late Duke of Kavadia had illegitimate children before his wedding. When he was young, he even claimed to the outside world that this was true love.

There are many similar weird and charming stories in the kingdom. Almost every great noble has several legendary stories to some extent.

Hudson was not sure whether it was true or false, but the number of illegitimate children in aristocratic circles was indeed quite large.

If you turn your attention to the Southern Continent, the nobles there are even more exaggerated. In order to pursue excitement, everyone plays boys and girls... In addition to insisting on keeping the blood pure, its excitement is comparable to that of the romantic city.

If one day the aristocratic group declines, Hudson feels that it must be at the hands of these illegitimate children. Apart from the nobles, only this group of people had access to the most advanced knowledge of the day.

In many cult organizations, illegitimate children of nobles can be seen. Everything is for profit, and there are many people who are unwilling to keep their identities hidden and choose to take risks.

It's just that these pioneers met a miserable end. Such a shameful thing would never be admitted by a noble nobleman with good face, and he would usually be treated as a cultist directly.

Of course, it is more likely that a new aristocracy will replace the old aristocracy. At most, you can just change the term, but the essence will not change.

…

After Hudson's suggestion, the three-year plan was smoothly added to encourage childbirth. It’s not just empty slogans, but actual incentives.

In addition to the inherent allocation of daily necessities, from now on, the first child will be rewarded with five pounds of meat, the second child will be rewarded with ten pounds of meat, the third child will be rewarded with fifteen pounds of meat... The ladder type is followed in sequence, with no upper limit.

In addition, there are irregular animal milk subsidies. As for the specific milk allocated, it depends on luck.

With the current number of livestock in the territory, it is still not possible to provide milk to all the children in the territory, and some can only be distributed occasionally to make up for the nutritional deficiencies of infants and young children.

Of course, maternity leave was also taken care of naturally. Although it is only a month and a half, it is still a great progress in this year.

Before this, I had never heard of maternity leave.

If the production is fine during the slack period, the lord does not need so much labor, and it is okay to rest at home for a few days; if it is the busy farming season, the baby will be born on the first day, and he will have to work in the fields the next day.

If Hudson hadn't brought it up personally, no one would have thought of maternity leave. After all, there’s no such thing as a “holiday” these days.

Not just maternity leave, but no leave at all. Whether the serfs took a break or not simply depended on whether there was work in the fields or the mood of the lord.

Generally speaking, in maturely developed territories, serfs had more rest. If you encounter a territory that is under development and construction, it will be difficult to have time to rest all year round.

The specific length of rest depends entirely on God's mood. In places like the southeastern provinces where there is plenty of rain, it is normal to take a break for more than ten or twenty days during the rainy season.

The only advantage is: no overtime required. Completely adhere to the work and rest rule of "work at sunrise and rest at sundown".

In order to solve the problem of raising children, Hudson also instructed his subordinates to improve the childcare system. To be precise, it was to further improve the Baojia system.

On the basis of the original one, the Baojia chief has one more responsibility: to encourage children to be born. This time the rules are much kinder, and there are no fixed task indicators. However, if there are more children in the jurisdiction, they will be rewarded.

Each A is equipped with women dedicated to taking care of infants and young children. The specific number is determined according to the number of infants and young children. On this basis, each hospital has at least one midwife who is responsible for helping deliver babies.

As for medical security, it is a pity that the training of pharmacists has not yet started, and it is really impossible to popularize it.

Pastor, just ignore it. These guys are indeed very efficient in treating diseases, but the probability of taking people away directly is not low.

The average life expectancy of people in the Aslant continent is less than thirty-five years old. The medical system with priests as its core must bear the main responsibility.

As far as Hudson knew, except for special occasions like the battlefield, when the nobles were sick in ordinary times, most people would prefer to go to a magician to prepare potions.

Although the professional quality of this group of people is very average, and the curative effect is not so guaranteed, as long as they do not drink potions that stimulate people's potential, their lives will not be directly affected.

This is also the reason why many priests study magic potions in private. After all, if you keep playing Krypton Life Therapy, sooner or later you will be able to persuade all customers to leave based on your strength.

There is only so much to do for the time being, and we will find ways to solve it when new problems arise later.

In essence, territorial governance is a process in which problems constantly arise and problems are solved. All systems are gradually improved after repeated problems.

Before the development plan could be implemented, the wedding was put on the agenda first.

It's not that Hudson is in a hurry, it's mainly that the Holliser family can't wait any longer. After determining that the strategic center of gravity would move north, they started the relocation work.

According to the current progress, within a few months, Count Oran will go north to take charge of the overall situation. It will be beneficial to everyone if the marriage is arranged before then.

Otherwise, once the Holliser family moved, Hudson would have to travel thousands of miles to take people to the north to meet his bride.

Not to mention the huge amount of time wasted, the increased expenses alone are enough to make Hudson feel pain.

Even now, the budget for Hudson's wedding exceeds one hundred thousand gold coins. And it is just an ordinary standard for marriage between big nobles. The extravagant style of the nobles is vividly reflected here.

Not only is the cost high on the Hudson side, but the Hollisle family's spending on the other side will only be even greater. Anyway, the betrothal gift prepared by the Koslow family is definitely not as large as the dowry.

When it comes to the face of the two families, no one will be stingy in this regard.

As for how to deal with it specifically, the Koslow family is completely in the dark. Not to mention participating in the marriage between big nobles, even if they were guests in the past, they could only stay in the corner.

Fortunately, the Hollister family sent someone to help, otherwise the corresponding etiquette specifications were wrong, and the society would be dead!

Not only is Hudson busy, the entire Koslow family is not idle either. Many elders from various branches came from all over to help with the preparations.

It was a completely over-emphasis on the scene. Hudson expressed a little opinion on this, but was caught and severely criticized by Baron Redman.

Unable to resist, Hudson simply chose not to see it. Take it seriously. After all, this grand occasion is also the highlight of Baron Redman's life.

In order to be more decent, he even passed on the title in advance. Even if there was nothing he could do about it, it would be easier for the Earl's father to tell it than the Baron.

When the older generation in major families retires, they will choose to pass on the title to the next generation in advance. In principle, this is not allowed, but for the great nobles, there is still no problem in opening a back door.

Everything was done for the sake of face, which made Hudson very speechless. However, as a person involved, he really couldn't refuse everyone's goodwill.

Looking at Baron Redman writing the invitation with great interest, Hudson wanted to remind him that no one would look at this thing carefully at all, so he could just arrange for his subordinates to handle it.

In the end, he resisted. If he didn't show off such a good opportunity to his relatives and friends, he would probably get into trouble.

"Hudson, do you think who else is missing from these invitations?"

Hudson's scalp tingled when he heard the sound. There is not much else about the Koslow family, except that they have a very large number of relatives.

Hudson now doesn't even recognize his own clan members, let alone relatives and friends who are beyond his reach.

"Father, don't forget His Majesty the King and the great nobles in the kingdom. You and your uncles can check the others slowly!

By the way, there is no need to invite the Rocknard family. The other four major families in the North don't have a very good relationship with me, so there's no need to invite them. "

Hudson responded bravely.

"How to write the king's invitation?"

Redman asked doubtfully.

This issue belongs to a blind area of ​​knowledge, even Hudson himself does not know it. Anyway, he knew that when big nobles got married, they would send invitations to the royal family.

Caesar III will definitely not come in person, but there is a high probability that the royal family will send an important member to come to congratulate him on his behalf.

Not only the Alpha royal family needs to be invited, but even the Moxi royal family cannot be left out. The network of contacts that was finally expanded cannot be lost easily.

"I don't know, I've never seen anyone else send an invitation to the king!

Write it as a normal invitation letter. If you are not sure, you can ask the Holliser family. They should have experience. "

Hudson replied matter-of-factly.

…
