Chapter 895
Chapter 888
Sitting on the throne as a woman did bring a lot of resistance to Altria, but with the help of Zhou Xiaoning and Mei Lin, she finally survived.
And some restless guys were also secretly dealt with. During this period, Zhou Xiaoning also made several moves, so his combat power fell again, and finally stayed at the level of the late sixth stage.
Such combat power is definitely not weak, but it does not have the effect of absolute crushing. And thanks to the two little Loli of Baigaia and Alaya, if Zhou Xiaoning can’t solve his opponent as soon as possible in the battle, as the number of attacks increases, his combat power will continue to decline. If one does not pay attention, maybe It’s really going to capsize in the gutter.
So later, Zhou Xiaoning didn’t make any shots anymore, and stayed beside Altria with an peace of mind, acting as a think tank.
Zhou Xiaoning asked himself that he was not a born emperor, but there were enough capable people under him. Under the influence of his ears, he naturally learned a lot of things. It’s not easy for Toria to come up with an idea.
There is a saying that the people take food as their heaven. This sentence is applicable no matter which era or country it is put into. After all, even the food can not make the people full, so how can they be expected to serve King -kun?
Therefore, after Zhou Xiaoning took office, the first thing he did was to take out a large number of high-quality seeds. These seeds are produced by simulated farms, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed. Not only are they strong in resilience, but the yield is also particularly large. Only half of the existing fields are needed to feed the entire population of Great Britain.
Moreover, in the previous beating process, Zhou Xiaoning received a lot of land and finances from the rebellious nobles in the name of Altria. At this time, the land was measured and divided and contracted to farmers. And publicly stated that as long as the farmers pay the agricultural tax, the rest of the harvest will be their own.
Although the agricultural tax rate is relatively high, and the basic mountain accounts for 60% of each farmer’s harvest, the yield of those seeds provided by Zhou Xiaoning, as long as they are not lazy, 40% of the income is enough to ensure their food and clothing, and they can also have income. Some surplus. This is much better than that of working as a tenant farmer for the nobles for a whole year, but even barely supporting the family.
So, for a while, Altria’s popularity among the people has skyrocketed, and Zhou Xiaoning, a royal adviser, is also famous. After all, this series of reforms and seeds are all from his hands. This is how the poor farmers are. Can’t be grateful. If this is in China, I am afraid someone will give him a longevity card.
In fact, when this policy was first implemented, Zhou Xiaoning thought that some aristocrats with impaired interests would come forward to oppose it, but it turned out that he was thinking too much. Not to mention that the powerful force of him, Merlin and Altria is there, but anyone who cherishes his life will not blatantly confront them. Secondly, in the hearts of those nobles, except for people of their class, everyone else is untouchable, not worthy of their attention, not to mention that the land that Altria contracted was not from them, so why should they bother? That Xianxin.
It is precisely because of this that most aristocrats have left this policy unchecked, neither agreeing nor opposing it. But as the lives of those free farmers get better and better, the tenant farmers under the nobles can’t help but become more active, and many people even prefer to open up wasteland instead of working for those nobles. Although they will be a little bit more tired at the beginning, with the support of a series of preferential policies issued by Zhou Xiaoning, as long as they survive the first few years, their lives will definitely get better.
Because of the departure of a large number of professional farmers, it is difficult for the nobles to find suitable people to help them take care of their fields, and it will naturally go to waste after a long time.
At this time, Zhou Xiaoning took the opportunity to reclaim the land at a very low price, and then changed hands and contracted it to farmers. After he did this, nearly 90% of the land in Great Britain was owned by the royal family, which greatly reduced the strength of the nobility, and firmly grasped the hearts of the people. Now, those nobles who want to do things don’t need Zhou Xiaoning and the others to take action. The masses of the people can drown them with one spit.
You must know that the eyes of the people are sharp, and they know who gave them the good life they are now, and who wants to destroy them, that is their enemy!
I’m afraid that those nobles didn’t even dream that things would develop to this level, otherwise, even if they risk offending Zhou Xiaoning’s three people, they will cut off the signs at the very beginning. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world. All they can do now is to put away those unrealistic ideas. There are even a considerable number of nobles who took the initiative to embrace Altria’s thigh and began to work for her.
I have to say that there are still many talents among the nobles. For example, many knights of the Knights of the Round Table are from nobles.
What Altria wanted to see was a prosperous Great Britain. Naturally, she would not refuse the effectiveness of those nobles. She even took this opportunity to reorganize the Knights of the Round Table.
Based on the knowledge of each knight, Altria recruited all the partners in his memory, Lancelot, Gawain, Gerante, Bedwell… a total of more than ninety people, although they did not reach the peak. There were more than one hundred and fifty people in the period, but so many outstanding knights gathered together, it can be regarded as an unprecedented flourishing age.
However, what is different from the original history is that this time in the Knights of the Round Table, there is an extra Zhou Xiaoning, and instead of Lancelot, who has the support of the first knight, sits in the closest position to Altria.
No one had any objections to this. Although they had never seen Zhou Xiaoning take a shot, the Queen Altria they supported had publicly said that if she was fighting life and death, she was not Zhou Xiaoning’s opponent. Her Majesty the Queen is a perfect knight and will never lie, so every knight of the round table will respect the strong when facing Zhou Xiaoning.
In terms of government affairs, the current prosperity of Great Britain is the best proof of Zhou Xiaoning’s ability. Those sitting there dare not say that they can do better than Zhou Xiaoning.
In addition, the ambiguous relationship between Zhou Xiaoning and Altria, as long as it is not a blind person can see it, just to preserve Altria’s face, no one talks about it publicly. But in private, the gambling about when Zhou Xiaoning and Altria were together has been going on for a long time. It is said that the initiator was Altria’s righteous brother, that is, the young man named “Guy”.
