King

Chapter 336 A spy who needs to work hard

With the implementation of the three-year plan, all kinds of messy problems have gradually come to Hudson's hands.

The most striking thing is the religious issue. The influence of the Holy See on the upper echelons of the kingdom was eliminated in the game of royal power and divine power, but its influence on the lower echelons was not reduced at all.

It turns out that when the population of the territory was small, this problem was not obvious. After all, fanatical believers are only a handful and cannot afford to make trouble.

Now, things have changed. With the rapid growth of the territory's population, the number of fanatical believers has also grown, and has even entered the grassroots management team.

Hudson was in no hurry to act. Religious issues were never solved overnight. The people at the bottom struggling on the verge of death cannot live without faith.

Referring to the practices of other nobles, they all turned people from the local church into their own, thereby completing full control of the territory.

Before that, Hudson did the same thing. It's just that the number of priests in the mountain territory is too small and they don't have the time to go deep into the people.

“Perhaps the doctrine should be revised!”

After muttering something, when it was time to take actual action, Hudson stopped again.

This kind of thing is not something a lord is qualified to initiate. Looking at the entire continent, the only ones who currently have the courage and ability to launch further religious reforms are Charles III and Caesar III who are anti-Vatican.

After much hesitation, Hudson decided not to take action in a hurry. The current situation in the kingdom is not optimistic. Caesar III's physical condition is worrying and he is obviously not suitable for making big moves.

Charles III was young and powerful, but he was too far away from Hudson to exert any influence.

Combined with what he did, Hudson felt that if he did nothing, Charles III would also launch a new round of religious reform.

The human race only needs one overlord, and the Frankish Kingdom and the Holy See have fallen out with each other long ago. If the Holy See's ruling foundation is not overthrown, the Frankish Kingdom's position within the human race will not be stable.

In Hudson's view, the establishment of the Arcane Academy was the first shot in Charles III's anti-Church movement.

Religious reform always starts with emancipating the mind. If there were no gods, given the current negative image of the Holy See, countries would already have the foundation to launch a comprehensive religious reform.

Taking into account the existence of the Lord of the Dawn, everyone was inevitably a little timid in their actions. The actions taken must also be adhered to: against the Holy See, not against the gods.

Confining the struggle within the framework of internal strife among believers.

The current actions of the major forces against the Holy See are all efforts to divide the church, but they have not directly attacked the doctrine.

After hesitating for a while, Hudson began to write quickly. The Arcane Academy, a stronghold against the Holy See, must be established.

The Mountain Territory does not have the ability to establish an arcane academy, but the Alpha Kingdom does. If we don't take advantage of Caesar III's reign to implement the matter, there is a high probability that his successors will not have such courage.

Once the Arcane Academy takes root in the Kingdom of Alpha, someone will be doing the tampering with the teachings, and there is no need for Hudson to take the lead.

After stating the various pros and cons, and seeing that no omissions were found, when he was about to seal it, Hudson's expression suddenly changed, he cursed himself for being stupid, and immediately released a fireball to burn the secret message.

There is no way, Caesar III is not someone to be fooled. I actually want to use him as a spearman. Do you really think the king is easy to bully?

Hudson bets that if his letter is delivered to Caesar III, he will be one of the founders of the Arcane Academy in the future.

Even if you want to refuse, you can't find a suitable reason. The hole you dug has to be filled by yourself.

After successfully averting a crisis, deep down in his heart, Hudson was still a little uneasy. At this moment, he suddenly understood why the great nobles did not like the hero.

The king is too shrewd. Although he handles internal and external affairs in an orderly manner, he is not easy to fool!

By accident, he didn't fool the king, so he dug a hole and buried himself.

It is estimated that many of the kingdom's great nobles have suffered a lot in the past few years. After being tricked more times, everyone learned to behave and became more at ease.

After thinking about all this, Hudson immediately decided to change his thinking. It was enough to secretly send people to promote the benefits of establishing the Arcane Academy, and there was no need to personally promote it.

No one knows whether it will succeed or not. Now it depends on who will be the first to fall into the trap and jump out to promote the establishment of the Arcane Academy to attract hatred.

It's all caused by geopolitics. If he were an inland lord, he would just do this kind of thing. Hudson would never give up.

However, he was a coastal lord. If he carried out his hatred too much, he would face bloody revenge from the Holy See when he set foot on the ocean in the future.

"Tom, send someone to notify Kane, Jacob, and Rudolph... to come over tonight to discuss matters."

Hudson ordered.

"Okay, Count!"

While he was talking, Tom outside the door had turned and left.

The only change was that there were two more big words on the parchment on Hudson's desk - Quit being impatient.

After a series of successes, although Hudson didn't say anything on his lips, deep down in his heart, he was still a little proud.

If you are proud, you will get carried away. Unconsciously, Hudson found that he had become "impetuous" and almost did something stupid like using the king as a gunman.

Fortunately, I reacted in time. Otherwise, if I kept going like this, I would have tricked myself to death sooner or later.

As a rising noble, many people were staring at him. Even though he seems to have a good relationship with everyone now, once a fatal flaw is exposed, he will be eaten away immediately.

Who makes him too young?

If it sprang out so quickly, it would be a problem if all the forces were not wary of it.

No action was taken, because during the war, Hudson sold many favors, and no one wanted to bear the reputation of being ungrateful. In a short period of time, everyone was embarrassed to take action.

In addition, there is no conflict of interest with most nobles, so they don't have to act as a front-runner and make wedding clothes for others.

Several companies with conflicting interests happened to be severely damaged by the war and had no time to seek his bad luck.

We have finally ushered in a period of peaceful development. If we do not settle down to develop our territory and consolidate our foundation, but instead go to stir up the storm and send ourselves into the whirlpool of the storm, wouldn’t we be committing suicide?

While Hudson was reflecting, Mountain Territory was lively. Ever since his wedding, it seemed that a valve had been opened, and the Koslow family had successively entered into marriages with nobles from various places.

Although they are only collateral descendants, some of whom have even three or five generations of ancestors who have never received a title, this does not prevent them from marrying with small nobles outside under the banner of the Koslow family.

Of course, there are thresholds for participating in a marriage. At the very least, you must first become a knight and show certain potential.

If he was nothing, there were so many members of the Koslow family, and Baron Redman wouldn't have time to organize things for them.

You can't even try to make it happen, because it's not a marriage, it's enmity. Unless it is a continuation, the partner of a noble marriage must also be a noble. This is the most basic principle.

As a child of a big family, as long as you become a knight, you can get a knight title.

An earl like Hudson had the power to ennoble the lower nobles. It's just that this kind of noble is a vassal belonging to the great noble.

There is no surprise. When treating one of his own, Hudson will not be stingy with an empty title, but there is no need to think about a fiefdom.

Unless he has made great achievements, he will not divide his territory and give it to his subordinates as fiefs.

Not only Hudson, but all the great nobles in the continent did this. Those who wantonly split up their territories were eliminated by history in the competition of the aristocratic world.

Arranging marriage arrangements for family members every day, Baron Redman has almost become his own matchmaker. He was busy, but he was still in a good mood when he saw his family prospering.

This good mood did not last long and slowly disappeared. Under the background of a well-matched family, all the family members have found suitable marriage partners, but no one cares about his two younger sons.

There were originally three, but one of them was kicked out of the house early and was ignored by him.

Although the two people left behind are not too old, they are still a little embarrassed that no one cares about them. Even if you want to take the initiative, you can't find a suitable target.

Logically speaking, as a direct member of the Koslow family and the earl's younger brother, he could definitely consider marrying a big noble.

Unfortunately, the status of the two younger sons is a bit awkward. It doesn't matter if they are not the same mother as Hudson. The mother is not from a noble family.

Just this one rule cuts off the possibility of marrying a big noble. After all, everyone in the industry wants to lose face, and the current situation of the Koslow family is not enough to make everyone let go of face.

Not only are the big nobles unable to reach it, but even the middle nobles are not interested. Even if Baron Redman revealed his intention to marry, he would only introduce children from distant branches.

After all, people also have to conduct background checks before getting married. After finding out the relationship between the two and the head of the family, Hudson, they were directly judged to have no marriage value.

The little nobles further down don't care much about this, but Baron Redman is a little unwilling. To be precise, Mrs. Anna was unwilling to give in and blew the pillow wind every day.

"How is it, sir?"

Upon hearing the question, Redman responded angrily: "What else can I do? I was rejected again!

Forget it, let's talk about it in a few years. Anyway, the two of them are not very old, so it doesn't matter if it takes a few years.

I'm usually busy, so when you have nothing to do, you can supervise them to practice more. If you can train to be a great knight before the age of twenty, you won't have to worry about not having a good marriage. "

After being rejected one after another, Redman had no illusions about the marriage of his two younger sons.

The so-called practice of becoming a great knight before the age of twenty is just a piece of cake. Throughout the history of the Koslow family, there has been only one Hudson.

No matter where they are, there are only a few geniuses in cultivation, and the vast majority are just ordinary people.

"Master, I will urge them to practice, but..."

Before Mrs. Anna could finish speaking, Redman forcibly interrupted: "There are not so many buts, nothing is perfect in this world.

If not, then lower the standards. Even the eldest and second eldest brother didn’t climb the high branches, so why can’t it be done by the two of them? "

Obviously, in Redman's eyes, the weight of the first three sons is still heavier.

Even if I usually love my younger son more, it is based on leisure and leisure. Unless the following two small ones have past performance, it will be difficult to change.

"Master, how about asking Hudson to come forward and help..."

Before he finished speaking, Redman changed his face and reprimanded: "Shut up! Ignorant stupid woman, do you want to get married or make enemies?

Since ancient times, marriage has always been a good marriage between two surnames. How can anyone force someone to marry?

Stop here. If I hear it again, hum! "

The angry eyes startled Mrs. Anna. Reason told her that Redman was really angry.

In the twenty years they were married, there were only a handful of occasions when Redman was so angry, and every time he got angry, something big happened.

Perhaps seeing that Mrs. Anna was frightened, Redman's anger slowly calmed down. The Koslow family had finally been able to revive, and he did not want to affect the development of the family because of one of his reckless actions.

Recently, I have been busy building bridges for the family's children, which is all about building connections for the family. Even though the marriage partners are all minor nobles, there are so many people in the Koslow family!

If you can't compare with the Dalton family in terms of heritage, then it's better to have more people. With the fertility of the Koslow family, as long as a stable development environment is obtained, the population of the next generation will definitely explode further.

Maybe there is nothing to do. After a few decades, all the nobles in the province will become relatives of the family, and the family foundation will be stable.

To implement this plan, the prerequisite must be to ensure that every marriage is a marriage, not an enmity.

As of now, the only one who knows about this plan is Hudson. As the executor, Redman would not allow anyone to disrupt the plan.

After all, this is the greatest contribution he can make to his family, and it is also the value of life in his mind.

"Hurry up and load up the car. We will set off tomorrow. What are you talking about in such a slow manner!"

This scene has been happening everywhere since the start of the territory replacement plan. It is difficult to leave their homeland, and it is inevitable that the serfs will have resistance.

It's just that even they are the wealth of the nobles, and their ideas obviously cannot affect the implementation of the plan.

The slow procrastination was their last sign of stubbornness. The patience of the Baojia chiefs who were transferred from the headquarters to organize the relocation was slowly exhausted after completing the ideological work.

Reprimands are considered gentle, but those with a bad temper are kicked directly. The soldiers who had just started patrolling went over to try to dissuade them, but later they saw that the progress was slow and they were too lazy to speak.

Under strong pressure, the relocation work officially began. There were a lot of hiccups along the way, but in the end there was no big mess.

Of course, this is not how strong the Mountain Territory’s organizational capabilities are. The most important thing was that Hudson recruited 20,000 troops and sent them to help.

The relocation of 150,000 people was escorted by an army of 20,000 people. If it can cause a big mess, then there is a real problem.

There is no doubt that these 150,000 people are not a high-quality population. After all, these fiefdoms were turned into unclaimed lands during the war.

The original lords all died on the battlefield, and naturally few of the serfs who went to the battlefield with them came back alive.

A large number of young people were lost, and most of the ones left were the old, weak, women and children. If you put it on other lords, you will definitely be worried.

The obvious exception was the Mountain Territory. During the war, Hudson abducted many young soldiers back.

It can be seen from the one-time recruitment of 20,000 troops. This is definitely not something that the mountainous territory's original population can put together.

This wave of territory replacement is not only a centralized territory, but also a grand strategy for population balance.

Looking at the long relocation team, Andrea looked depressed. He, a miserable city lord, had only been moving for more than three months and was about to move again.

There is no way, who makes Xueyue City too far away from the Mountain Territory?

I originally expected to make achievements here and get a good position back home, but now it seems that I have obviously failed.

It's sad to think about it. When I was in charge of intelligence work, I couldn't make outstanding achievements; when I was the leader of Xueyue City, I still couldn't make any achievements.

There are more and more talents in the mountainous area, but he has been unable to produce results. If this situation continues, it will be a matter of time before he is marginalized.

If it was just him, it would be okay to be marginalized, but he came here with a mission.

It took a lot of effort to get into the upper echelons of the territory. If he was kicked out of the center of power due to his own fault, he would have no way to explain to the boss behind the scenes.

Sighing deeply, he knew he couldn't sit still and wait for death any longer. You must do something good in the upcoming changes, otherwise not only will you end up miserable, but your family will also die.
