Chapter 660 How the Kingdom Was Established (Part 2)
As the wealth spread, Pei Ziyun pointed at the people in the tribe. They all smiled and seemed to have completely forgotten the fact that they were conquered by Pei Ziyun.
He said to Astinakus: "Look, follow my tribe and gained land and wealth, that's why, we can snowball quickly."
"Uncle King, we can continue to grow as long as we give them land and wealth?" Astinakus asked.
"No, land and wealth are limited, it always has an upper limit. Once this value is exceeded, we will have nothing to reward, so the land and wealth we give must be controlled and cannot exceed the upper limit."
"I understand that we are very weak now, and these noble lands and wealth must be controlled within a reasonable range." Astinakus said.
"Uncle King, but even so, our people are too few, we only have one thousand people, and there are fifty thousand people who surrender to our tribe. What should they do if they rebel?" Astinakus said.
"Astinakus, a single tribe, has very low surrender to us. If we conquer only 7 tribes, this situation will be very dangerous and they may rebel at any time."
"But now, you have to understand that we have conquered 70 tribes now, and they are holding back each other."
"Uncle King, so, the number of tribes we conquered is not good for us, and the more tribes we conquered is the better for us?"
"Yes, Astinakus, we conquered 70 tribes, and our status has been solidified because they have blood feuds and restrained each other, and no one can resist."
"Even if someone resists, with an order, everyone will siege it together and destroy it immediately."
"You might ask, why don't these conquered tribes unite?"
"The question is, who obeys whom?"
"No one can be the leader. If so, I will give you a piece of advice and kill this man immediately and destroy this tribe." Pei Ziyun said seriously, his eyes cold.
But I smiled again in a blink of an eye: "Of course, I have solved this problem for you."
"Look, I will give a seal to all those who have made military achievements, but the seal is not in the original location, but in other counties. In this way, the tribes that originally lived in one place had to be dispersed and moved partly to the new territory in order to protect their land."
"A tribe that cannot be united will be nothing."
"Astinakus, remember that it doesn't matter if you enfeoff the great nobles."
"Those who have merits are rewarded, and those who have mistakes are punished. This is the method to maintain order."
"Once you cannot reward and punish fairly, who will obey your orders?"
"As long as you remember a principle, that is, any real estate of a great noble must be scattered in various counties, even the whole country, and not directly connected to each other."
"A tribe that cannot be united is nothing, and equally, a territory that cannot be integrated is nothing."
"Is this why Uncle King built a manor? The manor ranges from 300 acres to 1,000 acres, but it does not exceed 1,000 acres." Astinaks deeply understood that this was a powerful technique that only elites could learn in Pei Ziyun's era.
"Yes, no noble manors are allowed to be connected together."
"Not only that, I have now implemented the order of the various corpses."
"The order of the corps of the sects has led to the continuous separation of a family, a tribe, land and population. Once it is split, it will not be a threat to the kingdom after several generations."
"Family love? How many generations do you think there is?"
"In this way, they can't stand together."
"The tribe is splitting, and the royal family is constantly growing."
Pei Ziyun said, "Listen, Astinakus, if I have this power strategy, even if I only have one thousand people now, I can control tens of thousands of people."
"Although the royal family is in danger now, every day, the power of the royal family is stabilized and expanded, and the tribes become increasingly scattered, and finally completely surrendered to the royal family."
"In just thirty years, the royal family can truly rule England, and you, and the destiny of the monarch in the future, will unify the entire British islands."
"Of course, the split cannot be too big. If it is split into civilians, their loyalty to the royal family will be eliminated. Therefore, when it comes to the Baron and the Knights, it cannot be split up."
"Only maintaining a grassroots aristocratic power is the permanent fence of the royal family."
"If the royal family becomes stronger, it is necessary to maintain the inheritance of more advanced nobles."
"So that's it." Astinakus murmured to himself, deeply afraid and joyful for this kind of political power.
Pei Ziyun saw Astinakus thinking, smiled faintly, and became a god by himself. If he wanted to force unification, it would be very fast, but this might lead to a backlash of fate.
Even more unable to educate Astinakus.
If no one teaches this kind of power strategy step by step and depends on oneself to figure it out, it may take a lot of energy and still have a lot of time to argue.
Many of the truths are a layer of window paper. Those who understand can break it with one stab. Those who don’t understand may not understand the truth even if they spend their entire lives.
The power of Pei Ziyun handed over to Astinakus was even more tested by the Normandy conquest and the order to give in to the grace. It can be regarded as the essence of making a big fortune and snowballing.
Otherwise, even with Pei Ziyun's ability, it would be difficult to establish a kingdom with a mere thousand people and achieve basically stable goals.
Although he has become a god and his personal force has surpassed the secular world, the operation and management of the kingdom still requires monarchs and systems. Without these, even if he is established, he will soon collapse after he leaves.
Now, it's different.
Many women and children were captured in front of Pei Ziyun and Astinaks. These tribes were destroyed and all men were killed, and the expressions on their faces were extremely numb.
Pei Ziyun pointed at the captured women and children with a smile on his face, and said to Astinakus: "How do you understand how these people deal with them?"
"Uncle King, I understand this. We must kill men and all knowledgeable people, so that hatred and tradition cannot be passed on."
"These people will be assigned to us soldiers. Perhaps there is still some hatred among women and children now, but time will erase everything. When they grow up, they will be our people. When the second generation is born, they will be completely loyal to the royal family."
"It's right." Pei Ziyun praised.
"Our soldiers have made military achievements. In addition to rewarding wealth, it is also necessary to reward some slaves. Don't look at these people now and are even full of hatred for us, but they have no knowledge and traditions. Once they integrate into a new life, these things will be forgotten." Pei Ziyun said.
But he didn't say that the next king could only be stable and could not be changed by such a system.
"Let's go back." After saying that, Pei Ziyun called the commemorative officer: "Do the commemoration, everyone will sort out the items and set off for the city."
"Yes." The messenger received Pei Ziyun's order and immediately conveyed it.
The team quickly gathered, and everyone placed the snatched property on the chariot, while the captives were slowly driven to the city.
Pei Ziyun also got on the chariot and went to the city.
"My Majesty, my territory has arrived, and I will bid you a farewell." Baron Berklus came up to salute: "Of course, my rotating soldiers for His Majesty this year will follow you."
"My Majesty, my territory has arrived, and I will bid you a farewell." Sir Kovasili came up to salute: "Of course, my rotating soldiers for His Majesty this year will follow you."
Whenever they arrived in a county, a large number of people returned to their original tribes, except for the soldiers who were serving. These people responded to Pei Ziyun's call to join the war. At this time, the war ended and they returned to their original tribes with spoils.
As these people left one after another, the number of people in the team continued to decrease, and in the end, thousands of people returned to a city.
The city is not big, many houses are newly built, and the entire city is full of vitality and prosperity.
Everyone is busy, not like some ancient cities, many people do nothing, and there are almost no idle people in emerging cities.
Not far from this city, there is a brick-burning workshop. At this moment, bricks are being burned in full swing, and thick smoke is rolling in the workshop.
Although it is not as good as Troy City, it is already a complete city.
New construction is being built everywhere in the city, and bricks are being continuously transported to the city.
Wherever they went, there were slaves everywhere. Under the supervision of the soldiers, they kept building houses with bricks, clearing ditches, and building sewers. Some slaves were carrying materials.
"Astinakus, look, the slaves are working."
"I let you treat slaves kindly, not be kind, but a living slave who will create more value than a dead slave."
"Similarly, a slave with hope is more proactive and more valuable than a slave with despair."
"I not only pay them a meager but non-discounted salary, but also give hard-working slaves, reporting slack and rebellious slaves, and skilled slaves with the opportunity to be free."
"The king has no good or evil, only a better rule." Pei Ziyun pointed and continued to fight, many slaves have been captured. These slaves were all used to build new cities, cultivate farmland, grazing, and thriving cities. They have the achievements of many slaves. Without their continuous construction day and night, this city could not have been built so quickly.
These people are very enthusiastic about working. Pei Ziyun agreed that the city was built and those who did well would be able to leave their slaves and become free people.
Those who have special achievements have become citizens, which has given many people expectations, and they have become much more serious when working accordingly.
Pei Ziyun slowly stopped at the door of the palace in a chariot and said that the palace was actually not as good as the original prince's mansion in Troy. The newly built palace only had a few houses and had some walls.
