King

These are not the only setbacks suffered by reform. At every high-level meeting, the officials in charge of various affairs could be heard complaining, so much so that Hudson stopped going to the royal capital for meetings.

Can't afford to offend, can afford to hide!

Since ancient times, there has been no political reform without bloodshed. Frankly speaking, the nobles of the kingdom have given enough face.

The people below are just "non-violent non-cooperation" and have not directly come out to oppose reform.

Looking at several other countries that are in the reform stage, they are now so noisy that they are about to start a civil war. Reformists and conservatives started to quarrel when they met. There were many fights, and some people even lost their lives.

Comparing the miserable experiences of these hard-working colleagues, Hudson felt that it was time for the reformers to have some fun. Although the progress of the reform is not optimistic, at least lives are not threatened!

If you don't look for troubles, there will be no troubles. The biggest advantage of being a frontline commander is that you can always make excuses not to participate in meaningless activities.

Hudson pretended not to see the secret fight that took place in the royal capital. In order to avoid being involved, he even recalled the family children in the royal capital under the pretext of special family training.

On the prairie, a group of people wearing uniforms were practicing sweating profusely.

There are people of all ages, from teenagers to gray-haired old men. The painting style was very funny, but the scene was extremely serious.

The cicada wakes up before the golden wind moves!

Reason told Hudson that the peaceful coexistence of reformists and conservatives was unsustainable. As reforms continue to advance, sooner or later both sides will confront each other.

In the past, the Koslow family was a weak chicken and just followed the crowd. If they took the lead, they would die faster.

It's different now. With the rise of Hudson, he has also helped many tribesmen along the way. The advantage of a prosperous population was immediately brought into play.

The number of knights undergoing training in front of them exceeds that of a regiment. Placed anywhere, it is a powerful force.

In the chaotic moment when reformers and conservatives are fighting, betrayal and defection will become the norm in politics, and the only ones who can truly rely on them are their own family members.

In order to strengthen the family's strength, Hudson also spent a lot of money. All the knights from the major branches of the clan were gathered together for special training, and a lot of resources to assist training were prepared.

Of course, family training is not in vain. If you take the resources provided by the family, you have to work hard for the family.

As for the group of gray-haired old people, they are all the elders of the clan. When I was young, I was trapped by knowledge and resources. I was not able to become strong, but I had a heart to become stronger.

Under normal circumstances, large families would invest their limited resources in younger generations with greater potential, but the Koslow family's situation is special.

The most valuable training resources are the magic potions provided by Hudson. The actual cost is not high, and adding a few more is not a problem.

These expenses are not considered a waste. The elders of the clan follow the training, and the juniors do not dare to be lazy at all.

There is only one goal, and we strive to cultivate a group of backbone forces in the shortest possible time.

Not far from the training camp, there is also a doll training camp with more people than here.

That was the family's future, and one that Hudson always took very seriously. If compulsory education cannot be popularized in the territory, it should be popularized within the family.

In the era of the family world, supporting the clan members was also a sign of high moral character. It was just because the Koslow family had a slightly larger population.

Seeing little Franz training profusely with the team, Hudson couldn't help but smile. The rebellious boy in the past finally paid for his youth and ignorance.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a distinguished heir to the lord; at home, he is just a hard-working young man studying.

In addition to knight training, there are also a large number of cultural classes every day. Even wanting to take a day off is a luxury.

There is no point in protesting. The direct heirs of the great nobles are all receiving similar education from King Juan.

It's quite hard when you think about it. You can't lag behind your peers in terms of cultivation, and your academic performance must be top-notch.

In particular, the courses in political maneuvering are the top priority of learning, and no shortcomings can be left.

The main reason is that I am still young. When I get older, I will also be able to take military command subjects.

The effect is very obvious. The naughty kid who once ran away from home has no time to make trouble anymore.

Frankly speaking, this kind of education is very cruel to an eight-year-old child.

But there is no other way. After enjoying the luxurious life of a noble child, it is natural to have the strength to protect it all.

Of course, this told little Franz, who would definitely protest vehemently.

Growing up, he didn't even know what the luxurious life of aristocratic children was like, especially after entering school.

Apart from having more cultivation resources and receiving more attention from teachers, he is not much different from other students in his family.

In order for little Franz to grow up normally, his identity was hidden when he entered school. In the eyes of his classmates, he is just a branch child of the Koslow family, and he is also a branch child from abroad.

In normal times, I eat a big pot of food with all the students and sleep on a hard bed in the dormitory. It was hard to stay up until the weekend and I had to go home to enjoy the tutoring lessons from the full-time teachers.

Others thought he was extremely talented when his grades were consistently top-notch. Only little Franz himself knew how much hard work he had put in behind the scenes.

In a sense, the classmates who entered the "key class" with him still benefited from his influence and had the opportunity to come into contact with the secret knowledge of the great nobles.

Hudson saw all this, but never expressed any special expression. Even if they were pulled out for special training together, they were not cared for on purpose.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Hudson is willing to spend resources, Cavaliers of several years old can be cultivated.

However, the main purpose of establishing the "Youth Class" is to cultivate strong people, and a solid foundation must be laid. The future development path cannot be cut off for the sake of temporary pleasure.

Even if he completes the knight's basic training early, in the next few years, little Franz will still be able to do basic training day after day, year after year.

In the quiet years, time always passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

Most of the family knights who received special training have improved their cultivation with the help of sufficient resources. The lower the level of a knight, the faster his cultivation will grow.

Looking at an individual individually, he is not very impressive, but looking at the entire family, the growth in strength is not the slightest bit.

…

"Duke, the freedmen sent by the kingdom and the serfs recruited have arrived at the Xueyue Lake one after another. Officials from the Ministry of Agriculture are waiting for you to make the next work arrangements!"

Tom's reminder awakened Hudson's dusty memory.

In recent days, while he was busy training the children of his family, he was also paying close attention to the training of the army on the front line. He almost forgot that he also shouldered the "heavy responsibility of the kingdom's agricultural reform."

“The people will be relocated to the east bank of Xueyue Lake, villages will be designated based on previous resettlement, and production tools will be distributed to them.

After building the house, immediately reclaim the wasteland. Interns from major colleges are ordered to cooperate and ensure that at least one million acres of winter plowing is sown.

Notify the Royal Government and let them determine the location of the direct territory as soon as possible.

In addition, let the frontline headquarters come up with a defense plan to ensure the safety of the people opening up wasteland. "

After issuing three orders in a row, Hudson's patience with the royal government's wrangling reached its limit.

The general direction was finalized, but the reformists did not show the decisiveness they should have in dividing the direct territories and noble territories.

There is no way, the reformists themselves are also representatives of the aristocratic group. When formulating policies, it is inevitable to tend to the aristocracy.

It's just that the current situation is special, and the direct-administered territory is also responsible for providing military rations to the frontline garrison. In name, it is immigration to open up wasteland, but in fact it is to cultivate land and guard the border.

Dividing good land is equivalent to cutting off the flesh of the aristocratic group, and everyone is reluctant to part with it; dividing bad land conflicts with the strategic policies implemented by the kingdom.

Referring to the situation in various countries on the mainland, the best land may not necessarily be in the hands of aristocratic lords, but the land most suitable for agricultural production is definitely in the hands of aristocratic groups.

Under normal circumstances, such complex matters involving the interests of all parties will inevitably involve political games. Without a year and a half, there would be no outcome at all.

Reformists are not revolutionaries, and their political stance is not that firm. While promoting reform, they also need to appease local powerful factions.

The final result is likely to be sacrifices made by free people. It is necessary to cultivate barren land and shoulder the important task of guarding the border.

From this point of view, when this group of freedmen met Hudson, it was like smoke rising from their ancestral graves.

In the kingdom, there was no one but Hudson who dared to fight for the rights of the free people despite pressure from all sides.

No one, including King Caesar IV, could betray his own class. Hudson dared to seize food from the tiger's mouth, but also with the help of the military.

The purpose of this immigration and land reclamation was mainly to solve the food problem for the army. In other words, it becomes the interest of the military.

Cutting off the flesh of nobles for free people is a dishonest thing. But the main interest group became the military, and everything was different.

Only the most fertile and suitable land can be cultivated in the shortest time and provide the largest amount of food for the army.

Under this guiding ideology, occupying the kingdom's land in advance is nothing.

The decree was issued, and Hudson did not remain idle. In this era, freedmen had no political status except nominal personal freedom.

If he didn't pay more attention, there would definitely be a lot of human tragedy during the resettlement.

In fact, many people have already fallen on the road to immigration. As far as Hudson knew, the treatment enjoyed by these freedmen was not as good as that of conscripted serfs.

There is no way. Serfs are the property of noble lords everywhere. Once the losses are heavy and the owners make a fuss, the bureaucrats responsible for enforcement will be unable to bear the consequences.

The free people were miserable. No matter how many people were killed or injured along the way, no one stood up for them.

This kind of tragedy made Hudson very conflicted. On the one hand, they wanted to liberate the serfs and improve social productivity; on the other hand, they were worried that they had messed up and further aggravated social conflicts.

"Transforming society" is a big proposition. Even with his current status, Hudson can only hide his true thoughts deep in his heart.

In front of everyone, he is an outstanding nobleman. Even if you join the reformist camp, you are pursuing aristocratic reform.

From a time perspective, reclamation has only begun during this season, and the probability of catching up with winter plowing is almost zero.

If it were the original world, not to mention one million acres, even if it were to grab 10,000 acres, it would be a miracle.

It is easy to transform grassland into farmland, but basic water conservancy facilities cannot be completed in a short time.

Just building a mature irrigation system will take years or even decades.

In the magical world, anything is possible.

Nearly one million free people plus 300,000 serfs, as well as a large number of interns from major colleges, joined the army of land reclamation, and they had the power to turn decay into magic.

…

“Shipping shit?”

"Your Excellency, Captain, you are definitely not joking!"

Battalion Commander Charles asked in disbelief.

Unlike other generals, Hudson had a habit of building septic tanks. Often near military camps, there are septic tanks of various sizes, specially designed to store the excrement of humans and animals.

Vegetables that are damaged during transportation are usually thrown in as well. After the pit is full, it is directly sealed on the spot.

The outside world only thought that Hudson loved to be clean, and it was once spread among the aristocratic circles, but no one took it seriously.

"Commander Charles, you heard me right, this is the military order!

The headquarters ordered all troops to clean up the cesspools. The cleaned feces will be transported to the Xueyue Lakeside and will be handled by local officials. "

Captain Rosefia replied with a serious face.

It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, military orders are military orders. As soldiers, they only have to carry out orders.

Although transporting feces is inconsistent with the image and temperament of an aristocrat, the officers who followed Hudson were all specially trained.

There is no jumping over the manure pit, but everyone has soaked in the mud pit. Regardless of whether they are imageless or not, the boss will throw them into the mud pit.

It didn't cause any stir in the outside world. That's because the aristocratic officers who participated in the training kept silent about the contents of the special training, euphemistically called it: the principle of confidentiality.

Group after group of victims joined the training camp excitedly and then left bitterly.

The "mud pit" is just one of the training items. There are many similar losses, and aristocratic officers who have received training will have a strong heart.

No matter how active they were before, after the training, everyone remained tight-lipped. Never mention the training content in front of anyone.

Although Charles thought this was a very strange order, the well-informed Captain Luo Sofia was not at all disturbed in his heart.

"Yes, leader!

Guaranteed to complete the task! "

Battalion Commander Charles replied immediately.

…

The convoy slowly moved forward. The fleet waiting by the Xueyue Lake was already looking forward to it.

Part of the excrement collected by the army was transported to the eastern region and given to free people for use; the other part went all the way southwest to Xueyue Territory.

It's a typical use of power for personal gain, but no one thinks this thing is a treasure, and it gives Hudson a free advantage.

Having tasted the benefits of composting technology, the security guards responsible for collecting the manure did not feel the smell of manure at all. Sending the warmest smiles to the officers and soldiers transporting dung.

The expressions of the freedmen on the other side of the dung ship were completely different. If the knight in charge of them hadn't ordered them to come over, they wouldn't have done anything.

Different attitudes create different results. The dung transport boat here is full, while the dung transport boat on the other side is less than half full.

No matter how much the harvest is, there are only so many delivery tasks today.

Taxi, who was quick-thinking, was the first to notice something was wrong. If the shit doesn't work, the opponent's behavior will be too weird.

Could it be that this thing, as stated in the agricultural technical manual, can promote food growth?

Once the seeds of doubt are born, they begin to take root and sprout. The shrewd Taxi did not share his guess with others immediately.

Follow the fleet back to the station, transport the excrement on the boat back one truck at a time, and then distribute it to each villager.

Every villager who received the feces looked sad. If it weren't for the knight master supervising from a distance, everyone would have started to curse.

Reluctantly, everyone still suppressed their nausea and randomly spread the feces on their newly reclaimed "raw land".

Compared with others, Taxi worked extra hard and strictly followed the requirements. His instinct told him that doing so would be beneficial.
