Chapter 291 Left-Way Sequence Three: Stealing the Imperial Master
It will probably take more than ten years to complete the Feitian Yaksha concept. There is no way to estimate this, because subsequent practice requires constantly absorbing the dragon energy of the country and transforming one's own spiritual attributes.
But if you want to practice quickly, you need to absorb the fate of the country to practice. The more you absorb, the faster the country will perish, but once the country perishes, you will perish along with the country! It is simply drinking poison to quench thirst.
Feng Willow also had his own considerations in mind. The left-field sequence took shortcuts. Starting from sequence four, it can be seen from the name. The further you get to the later stages, if you want to advance bravely and diligently, you need to get something from others.
Sequence four is the god thief, sequence three is the fortune-stealing master.
From stealing the faith of the gods to stealing the destiny of the country, they have followed the path of benefiting themselves at the expense of others. The advantages are fast cultivation speed and strong combat effectiveness. The shortcomings are also obvious. It is like dancing on a tightrope. If you are not careful, you will fall to pieces.
It seems that it is more difficult to steal the power of gods, but in fact, normal right-wingers should steal those small gods, hair gods, mountain gods and the like.
As long as you have strong magic power, even if you knock on the door blatantly, it won't be a big problem. The reason why Feng Willow was able to steal the divine power of the sea-splitting general was because he took advantage of it. But it was only by virtue of not being in the same world and early layout that we were able to take advantage.
Stealing the national destiny of a big country is relatively more difficult.
"Cultivation must be practiced, and national destiny must be used. However, national destiny is not static. As long as it is governed well, the country's national destiny can still be increased.
As long as I help the country become stronger while consuming the national destiny, I can enhance the national destiny. To put it bluntly, it is about increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. As long as the national fortune increases, the little I consume will not matter. The country will not be destroyed, and I can have enough national resources to practice cultivation. "Feng Willow was thinking in his mind.
"It seems that I can no longer stay in the territory and practice silently. I need to go to the capital to exercise my rights as a national teacher to help the country become more prosperous and powerful and enhance the national destiny.
From now on, my luck has been connected with this country. If the country is strong, I will have enough resources for cultivation. If the country dies, I will die with it!
If this is the case, then I really need to investigate whether Kenlohag is a qualified emperor. If he is a wise king, I will try my best to help him govern the country and make the country stronger. If he is a foolish king, then I will have to find a way to replace him with an emperor.
It can be said that in the next ten or twenty years, my destiny will be bound to this country. I cannot leave my destiny in the hands of others. "Feng Willow kept thinking about what to do next.
It's just that in this world, there is no position of national teacher, and the natural rights are not clear. If Feng Willow wanted to use his position as national advisor to compete with the emperor for power, it would really be a joke.
This position of national master is just a deal with Ken Lohag. If he wants to have a certain say in the court, he must have the title of Grand Duke.
"Saiya, just handle the affairs of the territory and leave them to the people below. In the next period of time, we are afraid that we will have to live in the capital of the Viking Empire." Feng Willow said to Saiya.
"Professor, the territories of our three counties have just been retaken, and the government affairs have not yet been sorted out. And we also lack enough trustworthy manpower." Saiya said with some embarrassment.
"It's simple. Since we don't have time to deal with the affairs of the territory for the time being, it's better to gather all the nobles in our territory, big and small, and we form a federation of nobles, and let this federation lead the three of us here. County." Feng Willow thought of a way to say.
Although the territory of the three counties is von Willow's territory, the lord does have a lot of conveniences in his own territory. But a territory is a territory, but it is definitely not the lord's own independent kingdom.
There are also officials from many countries in cities in general territories, and most of these officials are minor nobles. Things including taxation, public security, etc. are still under the control of the state.
Lords can have armies, make their own laws, and have their own taxes, but for the country's share of taxes, the country has its own tax collectors.
Generally speaking, in big cities, lords cannot control the sky with one hand. They still need to abide by the basic laws of the country, and these basic things are managed by the country's stationed personnel, who are all minor nobles.
Even if a territory has no lord, these administrative agencies stationed by the state can ensure the basic operation of a city without any major problems.
Only those small villages and towns were places where the lords had complete autonomy.
"Professor, it is easy for us to hand over our rights now and let them govern themselves, but it will be much more troublesome to take them back later. Now that the territory has just been recovered, if anyone disobeys, we can directly charge them with spies.
But you can’t do that until later. When the situation stabilizes, these people are all nobles. Even if you are a lord, if you want to deal with them, you must go through the Council. Sai Ya persuaded Von Willow.
Feng Willow nodded. He knew that what Saiya said was right. Moreover, if he wanted the country to be strong, the three counties in his territory were also very important. After all, the country was a whole. Even if other places were a little worse, the three counties in his territory had good soldiers and sufficient food, which could enhance the national fortune.
"Then, Saiya, you and Taris will stay to deal with the affairs of the territory. If there is any dissatisfaction, just say that they were dealt with by Korg's men. I will go to the Viking capital to talk to Kenlohag first.
When you have dealt with the affairs of the territory, come to the Viking capital to find me." Feng Willow ordered.
Saiya looked up at Feng Willow with some reluctance in his eyes, and just reminded him: "Be careful when you arrive at the capital, don't offend those nobles easily.
Although you are powerful, they may have some insidious means to plot against you."
"Don't worry, I know." Feng Willow stretched out his hand and pinched Saiya's face, saying with a smile.
After bidding farewell to Saiya and Taris, Feng Willow took Moril to the Viking capital.
The Viking Empire has suffered many disasters in recent years. First, it was severely counterattacked by Feng Willow and the army of the Anerfa Empire, releasing a large-scale plague.
Then it experienced a joint attack by the cult alliance, and was even destroyed by the death cult. The entire royal family, with a huge population, died and only two people were left.
Then there was civil strife, and the civil war between Kenlohag and Korge had been going on for three years. The consumption of materials and population has long consumed the foundation of this country.
Along the way, looking at the uninhabited fields, most of the people in the city were pale and thin. Although such a country has ended the civil strife, it will take at least decades to develop.
At this moment, Feng Willow really regretted being the national teacher of the Viking Empire. If he had known this earlier, he would have directly become the national teacher in the Anerfa Empire.
At that time, he felt that his roots were in the Anerfa Empire, and the name of the National Master of Stealing Transport was definitely not good for the country, so he chose to be the National Master of the Viking Empire. It was to avoid harming his country and hometown.
Unexpectedly, he is now trapped in his own cocoon. Now he needs to fully develop the national strength of the Viking Empire and serve the Viking Empire with all his strength.
The Viking Empire is now in ruins, the family assets are long gone, and the population is already less than two-thirds of its heyday. This can really be called a clean slate.
On the other hand, because of his presence, the Anerfa Empire has not experienced any major wars in recent years, just fighting against cults. On the contrary, because of the encirclement and suppression of cults in recent years, a group of elite soldiers have been trained. It can be said that the soldiers are well-trained and well-fed.
After Feng Willow rushed to the Viking capital, the first thing he did was to buy a big house. After all, he is now a grand duke, and the territory has accumulated a lot of money over the years.
Without Saiyan around to take care of it, Feng Willow was really not used to it. After buying the house, he began to prepare to give suggestions to His Majesty the Emperor.
The first one is population. Whether it is the gods who are about to revive or the army of the empire, more population is needed. There is also the vigorous development of industry and commerce, but at the same time, the fields need to be developed as much as possible.
Because Feng Willow knew that once he began to steal the national destiny, the Viking Empire would face a series of natural and man-made disasters. Next, food will definitely be in short supply. In fact, the empire is already very short of food.
Fortunately, Feng Willow has not been in vain in the New World in the past few years. Whether it is the New World or the territory of the Anerfa Empire, many granaries have been built and filled with food.
"I didn't expect that I started to hoard food early, and finally used it on the Viking Empire." Feng Willow thought with a smile.
Kenlohag had known the news of Feng Willow's entry into the city for a long time, and he was also thinking about Feng Willow's purpose. In fact, he also had a certain understanding of Feng Willow, the Grand Duke.
For so many years, he has not been greedy for power. When he was in the Anerfa Empire, he behaved very well. Not only did he not covet power, he was too lazy to take care of his own territory. He always entrusted the women around him to handle the internal affairs of the territory.
This is also the reason why Kenlohag was so willing to hand over the position of national teacher to Fende so easily. Although the position of national teacher has never appeared on this continent, considering Feng Weiluo's character and the crisis situation at that time, Kenlohag agreed to it.
But now Feng Weiluo ran to the capital without saying a word, which made Kenlohag a little doubtful. After becoming the emperor, he was completely two different people before becoming the emperor.
"What did he do in the capital? Just bought a big house? Didn't he come into contact with anyone?" Kenlohag looked at the information in his hand and asked puzzledly.
"Your Majesty, he really didn't come into contact with any nobles, and he didn't bring any other followers with him, just a beautiful woman." The minister below said respectfully.
Feng Weiluo's purpose of coming here this time really puzzled them. According to the information in the file, Feng Weiluo is a cultivation maniac. Apart from cultivation every day, he doesn't care about other things at all.
"Isn't the capital not very suitable for cultivation? Why did he come here?" In fact, this question is not only puzzled by Ken Luohag, but also by other nobles. Their families also have information about Feng Weiluo.
Those nobles who believed that they had no grudges against Feng Willow and had always supported Kenlohag were naturally fearless. However, those nobles who were originally under Korg were terrified, fearing that Feng Willow was controlled by Feng Willow because of some evidence of their previous crimes.
Just when the emperor and the nobles were confused, Feng Willow was bored at home writing memorials, writing down all the strategies he could think of to enrich the country and strengthen the country.
It's one thing to think about it, and it's another to write it down.
"How did those powerful countries in the past develop?" Feng Willow scratched his head and thought for a long time, and came up with three points: develop education, encourage business, and plant more land.
There is no need for him to say that everyone knows about planting more land, but ordinary farmers have low productivity. Even if this world has extraordinary sequencers, the cultivated land is still very primitive. After all, extraordinary people will not study how to cultivate land.
The next step is to relax the policy and encourage business. He only knows the general idea, but he can't say how to encourage it specifically.
After thinking about it, Feng Weiluo feels that what he can do now is to liberate slaves, develop education, build roads, and severely crack down on those who charge fees and rob people on the road.
Developing education is simpler. It is enough to set up a universal education with a selection system. In this way, all excellent talents can be discovered. In the final analysis, if a country wants to be strong, it cannot do without talents. As long as there are more talents, and then they are selected based on their talents and appointed to the right positions, the country will naturally become rich and strong.
However, after Feng Weiluo finished writing, he looked at what he wrote and found that he really had to confront the nobles. The first one was to liberate slaves, but most of the people who used slaves were nobles.
Another thing is to crack down on those who charge fees on the road. Most of them are done by nobles. They set up checkpoints in their own territories, charge city taxes, and plunder the feathers of geese passing by. Any caravan passing through their territories cannot escape their exploitation. So this is also a policy that offends those nobles in the territory. (End of this chapter)
