The 380th chapter expansion (1)
On the way to inspect the Twin Cities and the construction of the Chidao in Rice Town, Danica suddenly gave an order: the royal family of the Gemini Kingdom retained the ownership of the farmland on both sides of the Chidao, but handed over the right to use to the Aishi Chamber of Commerce, where the Aishi Chamber of Commerce hired the refugees to farm.
Considering the living conditions of civilians in the entire central region, this is not an excessive requirement. Even for their own interests and for the long-term development, the Aixue Chamber of Commerce will treat tenants with a gentler attitude, at least it will be much better than the brutal warlord landlords. With the protection of the Aixue Chamber of Commerce, large-scale famine and plague will be taken care of. The life of those refugees is not said to be very happy, but at least they will not be afraid every day, worried about being in danger of danger and facing the threat of hunger and death at any time. However, I don’t know which step of confidentiality is not done well. The news of sharing the fields on both sides of the road to refugees has been spread before. Now, the Aixue Chamber of Commerce, or the Gemini Kingdom, has broken its promise, and trouble comes.
"...There may be confusion...well...possibility." Ai Xue said in a vague way.
Ai Xue is now standing in the living room of the Gemini Palace, reporting to Danica sitting on the sofa, next to her colleagues, Lemil of the Executive and Catherine of the Military Department. In addition, Emily, who controls the Guards, still transforms into a crow and stands on the coffee table. This is a summary meeting. The road from Twin Cities to Rees Town has been almost completed, but nearly ten million refugees have not been resettled, and refugees are still pouring into the Gemini Kingdom. What should we do next? This is the main issue discussed at this meeting. However, before the formal discussion, Ai Xue first reported on a possible big trouble.
Danica frowned slightly: "What the hell is wrong? Just tell me!"
Ai Xue said loudly: "The refugees learned that the farmland they were originally to be distributed to them was gone and they became hired to farm. They had great emotional dissatisfaction. It is possible... may happen... chaos." In the end, Ai Xue did not say the word "riot" and changed it to a more vague "chaos". The construction of Chidao was under her charge of the refugee resettlement. Now such a thing happened. Although it was caused by Danica, if it was really pursued, the responsibility would still fall on her. After all, she was responsible for this project.
"How did they know that the farmlands were to be divided?" Danica asked.
"This..." Ai Xue didn't know how to answer. This was the responsibility she had to bear, and the problems she was most afraid of.
The matter is actually very simple. It was not that someone deliberately ruined the news and distributed the farmland on both sides of Chidao to the refugees who worked hard. This news was not a secret before Danica issued the order. Ai Xue seemed to have been unintentionally revealed it several times, in order to make those refugees work hard and work hard. A bright future is waiting for them! Who knew that when Chidao's construction project was about to end, Danica suddenly issued such an order.
Seeing Ai Xue's appearance as Ai Ai, Danica did not worry about this issue anymore, but asked: "Has this dissatisfaction been exploited?"
When Ai Xue heard this, he shivered. If someone was used, it could be defined as a rebellion! This is definitely the rebellion scale of the Gemini Queen in front of him. Wang Quan could not even talk about it, let alone rebellion. If the dissatisfaction accumulated in the refugees really develops into rebellion, I don’t know how many people will fall to the ground. Ai Xue did not forget that some time ago, many of the people who were arrested and executed by the Guards for a caricature painting were people from the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce. They were cautious in abide by the law and worked hard, but because of an inexplicable rebellion incident, they were inexplicably caught in, and their heads and heads were even caused to their family.
"No!" Ai Xue quickly denied, "There is no sign that someone is taking advantage of the refugee's dissatisfaction."
Danica nodded slightly, but said to Emily on the table: "Take the Guards to investigate."
Emily, who was bored, said, "Yes, master."
I don’t know why I had such an illusion. When I heard this, Ai Xue seemed to see the corpses and endless blood. The refugees had never lived in the Twin Cities and had no idea what kind of person the queen who ruled them was. If they showed their dissatisfaction with Her Majesty the Queen in front of the Guards...
I don't know how many people will lose their lives because of this ignorance. When he heard Danica's order, Lemil's body froze slightly. He wanted to speak, but in the end he swallowed the words. He didn't know if he could leave the palace alive if he pleaded for those refugees.
In comparison, Katherine's reaction was the most dull. Perhaps she had fought on the battlefield and was used to blood and killing, so it didn't matter.
After this problem was "solved", the main topic of this meeting began. The road planning for the entire central region was completed before, and now we have to discuss which section to build first. After more than an hour of discussion, the final result was to build the main road from Twin Cities to Enris City. With this main road, the Gemini Kingdom can easily provide supplies to Enris City. The southern gate of this Gemini Kingdom can be fully solid and all threats are closed outside the door.
With the construction of the Qidao as the vein, the Gemini Kingdom steadily and rapidly expanded its territory. At this time, the warlords who were obsessed with the melee discovered that the kingdom that appeared in the north of the central region was so powerful and so strongly aggressive. Some warlords planned to unite to fight against powerful enemies, but with the magic weapons of the Elf King's Court, the food of the Druids, the warhors of the beast tribe, the steel of the Solomon Kingdom, and the arms manufacturing technology of the Tulip Kingdom extorted by Danica from Aphro and Vigs, the expansion of the Gemini Kingdom was unstoppable. At the same time, because of the sudden outbreak of refugee waves, the population loss on the land of those warlords was severe, and even if they were caught, they could not catch a few. The entire combat potential was extremely weak. Between ones and the other, Catherine led the troops to fight for several months, but never lost.
In just half a year, Catherine led the army to pacify all the warlords and city-states within 300 kilometers north of Enris City to Twins City, and expanded the Gemini Kingdom into a powerful kingdom with a land of 120,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 100 million. A kingdom of this size can be called a large kingdom even in the eastern region.
Of course, this is just a preliminary pacification. The Twin Cities only occupy several important cities. It will take more than ten years or even decades to truly control this land, and it will take a generation to change. However, with the communication of Chidao, the process will be much faster, but even so, it will be a few years later to build the Chidao network in the northern part of the central region.
No matter what happened in this world, the sun and the moon were passing by, and a year passed, a heavy snow hit, and the white snow covered the entire earth, covering all the sins and killings that took place on this land.
"You are interested in watching the snow here." Phyllis walked over on the balcony on the third floor of the palace and said to Danica, who looked at the snowflakes outside through the large glass window.
"What, do you think the snow scene is not good?" Danica said lightly without looking back.
"I thought you would go to Saint Cathedral." Phyllis said, not knowing whether she had raised such a topic on purpose.
Today is January 1st, and it is the New Year of the Light Calendar. Miss Elizabeth Sennas, the Saint of the Holy See of Light, held a large mass at the Saint Cathedral in the east district of the outer city of the Twins, and prayed for the New Year, which attracted many believers of Light. However, the Gemini Kingdom has always lived the New Year of the Elf King's Court. In the past few years, all administrative departments, army, and even the Aishi Chamber of Commerce have deliberately downplayed the New Year of the Light Calendar, such as not doing any large-scale celebrations and not setting up holidays during the New Year of the Light Calendar. But this year, because of Elizabeth's existence, everything has changed. The residents of the Twins were surprised to find that they have kept their whole life's traditions, that is, those traditions that have been abandoned have come back.
"Elizabeth doesn't want to see me." Danica said in a calm tone, "She's about to hate me."
Phyllis smiled and said, "Who told you to block her from building a church in every way? She worked hard for your road construction for half a year, but she didn't allow a church to be built, so I would be angry."
The Saint Cathedral in the east district of the outer city of Twins was newly built this year. All the funds needed were raised by Elizabeth himself. The Gemini Kingdom not only did not provide any help, but also kept asking for trouble. Sometimes it said that the construction did not comply with the norms, and sometimes it said that there was a problem with the land use. In short, it was just a variety of troubles. There was nothing to do. Danica really didn't want Elizabeth to build such a cathedral, but she couldn't say it explicitly. That would be like a breakup with the Holy See of Light and could only find fault in various details. However, the Executive Department made trouble one after another and finally annoyed Elizabeth. She rushed directly to the office of the Executive Department, Lemille, and it was said that she almost demolished the minister's office, and finally made the people of the Executive Department a little calm.
"Do you want her to build that church?" Danica's tone was filled with a hint of sarca and ridicule.
Tyran's face became darker, and she said, "Of course I don't want it, but there is nothing we can do about it. Our old friend Aphro is so fussy."
While the Gemini Kingdom was expanding rapidly, Aphro also established a new kingdom in Saska, a country with a strong religious atmosphere and the opposite of the Gemini Kingdom. And stimulated by the expansion of the Gemini Kingdom, Aphro also found a large number of allies. She now gathered almost all the remaining warlords, city-states, and small kingdoms in the central region together to form a huge alliance, the Saska Alliance, and Aphro is naturally the leader of this alliance.
This alliance has indeed put a lot of pressure on the Gemini Kingdom. The alliance owns twice the population of the land and population that is twice that of the Gemini Kingdom. Since the road from Twins to Enris City was built, the Aishi Chamber of Commerce, the Executive and the Military Department have been strengthening Enris City, because that will be the most important barrier for them to fight against the Saska League. Advance can be used as a springboard. If they retreat, there will be a strong fortress to stop the enemy.
Danica sighed faintly and said, "Yes, that's nothing to do."
"But you don't seem to care..." Phyllis said, "at least not as much as we do."
"Why do you say that?" Danica chuckled and said, "I care a lot about the fate and future of this kingdom."
Phyllis thought hard, but shook her head and said, "You can't tell me anything specifically. This is just my feeling. Are you not particularly concerned about the threat brought by Aphro, or do you think Aphro is not your opponent at all?"
This is very likely. In the Battle of Kenster, Aphro was no match for Danica in terms of means and calculations. Perhaps because of this, Danica didn't care so much about the threat brought by Aphro.
Danica shook her head and said, "I won't underestimate any opponent, but I believe Ai Xue and the others can handle it."
"What's wrong?" Phyllis felt something was wrong in Danica's condition. "You've felt a little depressed lately."
"Ah? Why do you say that?" Danica turned around, with a smile on her face, and said, "No, I don't feel depressed."
Phyllis looked at Danica and said bluntly: "The smile on your face is very reluctant now."
The smile on Danica's face disappeared. She sat weakly on the rattan chair covered with a thick blanket. She didn't say anything, but just looked at the flying snow outside.
Phyllis suddenly felt a kind of fear, and the fear turned into a ghost claw and grabbed her heart, making her feel like she couldn't breathe. She couldn't imagine what kind of thing could make Danica. She thought that the most determined person in the world showed such a decadence.
Phyllis smiled even more reluctantly and said, "What are you doing? She looks like the world is about to be destroyed."
Danica looked outside, dazed, as if she was dead.
It seemed like she was dead? Philis hurriedly walked forward, grabbed Danica's arm, and breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that she was still alive, but the sadness and fear did not dissipate. Philis said, "What trouble did you encounter? Let's work together and we will definitely solve it. You talk!" Before he knew it, Philis was already crying.
Chapter completed!
