Arcane Lord

Be aware that the prevalence of the feudal system was based on the premise that humans were constantly threatened by wild monsters. In addition to the extremely inconvenient transportation and communication, the kings had to seal up large areas of land. Give allegiance to the great nobles who are loyal to them, and the great nobles continue to be entrusted to the lesser nobles, and the little nobles are finally entrusted to the Knight, forming a set of top-down stable rule.

If there is an invasion by foreign enemies, Knight and the nobles will undoubtedly resist desperately, because they have their own land under their feet, and their homes behind them. Not working hard means that they will probably lose everything they treasure.

On the contrary, if it is a bureaucrat, once you see power is far from good, you will definitely turn around without saying a word. The reason is simple. The land under your feet belongs to the king, and the villages and towns behind them also belong to the king. Even the serfs who were responsible for farming were the private property of the king, and only their lives belonged to them.

In fact, in the history of Earth, the more prevalent the feudal system, the more difficult it is to be conquered by foreign enemies, and the more centralized the country, the easier it is to be conquered by foreign enemies.

Even if the former royal family or the Imperial Family perishes, the remaining nobles will continue to rebel for their own benefit, until the invaders are unable to bear it and completely withdraw from the occupied territory, and centralized power Once the supreme ruling family is killed or surrendered in a controlled country, bureaucrats everywhere will either rush to surrender or become a warlord.

Selfishness is human nature, especially at special moments when life is threatened. Most people immediately think of themselves, so it’s not surprising no matter what extraordinary things they do. This is why history always Constantly promoting those loyal ministers and warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country, because they are an out-and-out minority, otherwise how could they be set up as an example.

Olaer continent is a primordial, backward, and barbaric world. Human activity area accounts for less than one-tenth. The rest are all endless primitive forests, vast wasteland, and lofty mountains. The most suitable soil for the survival of the feudal system also ensures that mankind can always expand slowly.

But once black powder, steam engines, trains, airships and other things spread, the entire race will quickly enter a terrifying era, an era of great collapse…

Because the king has With cheaper and huge weapons with formidable power, vassals no longer need to provide soldiers and knights for themselves. They will inevitably choose to greatly weaken the power of the nobles, and the nobles also fight to the land in order not to lose their rights. All the contradictions in the dark broke out all at once, and half of the continent would be plunged into turmoil and war.

No matter which side wins, the feudal system is bound to collapse. Centralized countries are established, fighting and conquering each other until one or several super empires are born. Restrict each other and depend on each other.

Of course, this does not count as a series of consequences after overcapacity. Needless to say, a large amount of unsalable commodities alone is enough to destroy the current fragile economic system on the road, plus the lack of population The reason for this is that mankind may have played with itself before completing the industrial revolution.

In his last life, Andre read a lot of books and understood how terrifying the Great Depression brought about by unsold goods. This thing is like a terrifying beast, destroying everything around him, just Even the gods might not be able to do anything.

As the saying goes, the progress of science and technology is never achieved overnight. It is necessary to consider many factors including population, income, purchasing power, economic structure, etc., and then formulate a five-year, ten-year, and twenty-year Development plan, and then step by step upgrade, and finally achieve the goal of increasing productivity.

As a traverser, Andre never intends to use his own knowledge to change this World’s plans, nor does he think that Earth’s technology will be more advanced than the ancient magical civilization, so he will never change the core Leaking knowledge to anyone, at most, under the premise of ensuring that the secret will not be leaked, engage in small-scale applications in private.

“Don’t worry, I’m only interested in profitable businesses, and I don’t have any prying heart on the huge alchemical weapons of formidable power. In addition, I swear to keep the contents of this notebook strictly confidential. It will never be known to outsiders.”

Countess Anastasia seemed to have seen something and immediately made a promise, for fear that it would cause the youngster’s unhappiness and affect the growing closeness of both parties. Partnership.

“Thank you, I’m relieved if you think so. Oh, yes, I have captured three prisoners this trip. Could you please send someone to Bacaro City to ask for the ransom, wait for the ransom Let them go as soon as you get your hands.”

After speaking, Andre stood up, stroked his chest with one hand and bowed slightly, actively ending the in-depth conversation.

The Countess also stood up and replied, smiling and replied: “No problem, I will leave for Linton City in just a week or so. By the way, according to everyone’s identity, status and family The strength offers the ransom. If nothing happens, the other party will send the ransom in half a month.”

“Thank you very much, you really helped a lot, you know I can’t handle it. This kind of negotiation matters, if you catch prisoners again in the future, they will be handed over to you. Please remember one thing, don’t try to investigate the background of the two youngsters. Their identities are a bit special and they know too much. It’s no good for us. Why don’t we all pretend to be confused.”

In order to prevent accidents, Andre exhorted again before leaving the house, and then left the wood house and moved towards the temporary pier.

As soon as he walked with his front foot, Anthony, who was guarding the door, rushed into the house and asked nervously, “Madam, how is the conversation?”

“Hehe, it went well. He was not at all as difficult as he had expected, but he was very generous. I got a lot of good things that can make a lot of money. Get ready, when we return to the city this time, we must completely let go of our hands and feet, maybe use It won’t be long before Linton’s political situation will be violent. It’s a good opportunity to take this opportunity to expand.”

After that, Lady Anastasia subconsciously touched the notebook in her arms, her eyes looked There was a hint of expectation in it.

“Really, that’s really good! As soon as I get back to the city, I will recruit some reliable personnel to ensure that your plan will not be delayed.” Anthony said with a look of excitement.

The Countess nodded with a smile: “Go hard, if the plan is successful, I will help you get a title of Knight or Jazz, and at the same time give you a beautiful manor.”

I don’t know if it was because she was in a better mood, she gave an uncharacteristic promise in advance, and she didn’t see any hesitation at all, as if it were justified.
