Chapter 96: Governance and Sleep [Please recommend, collect and invest]

Early morning in late October 1770, Star Empire, Augustus.

Rey stood on the top of the tower of the palace castle, looking at the white mist on the southern lake that was constantly gathering and dispersing with the wind. He stretched out his right hand and put it in front of him. A white ball of light the size of a football appeared above his palm. The ball of light became brighter and brighter. , and in the end, it was like a dazzling incandescent lamp that "popped" into pieces after being overpowered and dissipated in the air.

"Ugh……"

Rey felt the increasingly thin transcendent factor in the air, put down his hands, clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the white mist on the lake in the distance, let out a long sigh, and fell into deep thought.

After the Xinghui Empire was recognized by most countries on the Bailuo Continent, Rey began to govern the empire. Although it was a eldest girl who became the emperor for the first time in a sedan chair, Rey, who was well-read in history books, also had some experience. of.

From then on, Rey mainly implemented the domestic system, let his subordinates gradually adapt to this government's operating model, and let them get used to this environment. After all, this is a relatively new governance model, especially for the imperial examination system.

Although many of them may have some objections to this in private, as a founding emperor, Rey used his supreme authority and bloody lessons to wake them up instantly, force them to follow the new rules, and clear the way for the rule of future generations of successors. obstacles.

Since the land area has reached the limit that the current level of technology can achieve, Rey has no desire to open up new territories.

Now he is focused on internal affairs, technology, and the extraordinary world.

The internal affairs are mainly the population issue which has always been the issue.At that time, after Rey established the empire, he roughly counted the population of the country.

You don’t need to think about it to know that the indigenous population must account for the majority, with a total of 3000 million indigenous people. Then there are about 800 million black people, while the white people are pitifully small, with only 580 million people.

The reason for such an imbalance in population ratio is that in the recently acquired Spanish colonies of Greco and the Caribbean Islands, these areas have an indigenous population of approximately 1700 million, 650 million blacks, and less than 100 million whites.

As a white ruler, Rey must find a way to solve this population imbalance problem, otherwise the empire's rule may face great instability.

Regarding this problem, Rey has only two solutions. One is to continue to increase the implementation of the three colors and eight flags system, and the other is to increase and decrease the scissors difference.

The implementation of the Three Colors and Eight Banners was an improved colonial governance strategy based on the governance model of the Qing Empire in Rey's mind.

This not only unites the elites of each race, but also effectively suppresses rebellions among people of different skin colors and relieves the pressure of imperial rule.

After all, the Eight Banners system was originally a promotion system that matched the imperial examination system, making it a tangible possibility and future that the dragon slayer would eventually become an evil dragon.

Not only can it harvest talents to maintain imperial rule, but on the other hand, it can also reduce the number of rebels.

Rey remembered that in Donghua's long history, a large number of rebel leaders were people who yearned to be in the system or were driven out of the system.

Another scissors difference that increases and decreases is a bloody plan to drive hundreds of millions of indigenous slaves to Panama to dig a canal.

This was destined to be a bloody road full of bones. At least 20 indigenous young adults fell on both sides of the canal without leaving any traces in the history books. The nobles of the Yellow Eight Banners did not complain at all, and were even very happy to do so.

After all, in their view, these indigenous slaves are just a group of animals, a stepping stone to their promotion and fortune.

Therefore, in the construction of the empire's infrastructure, especially the construction of major transportation arteries, they were basically built with the lives of indigenous slaves. Rey conservatively estimated that there are about 200 million indigenous people buried anonymously underground.

There are two ways to increase the number. One is that after the domestic environment has basically stabilized, the government actively encourages white people to have children and gives rewards, while for people of other skin colors, it adopts the principle of fines for having more children, and vigorously purchases white children from the Bailuo continent. Slaves, promoting the increase in the number of white immigrants.

As for the black slaves, Rey tried to increase their number by a small amount, so that the increased amount was slightly greater than the consumed amount.

During Rey's more than 20 years in power, Rey has been implementing policies to reduce and maintain the indigenous population, with a slight increase in the black slave population and a large increase in the white population.

Up to now, the number of registered indigenous people (yellow-skinned people), black people, and white people in the Star Empire has changed significantly.

There are still about 3050 million indigenous people in total, about 900 million black people, and about 1200 million white people. Of course, among the free people and above who are called "people" in the empire, there are about 500 million indigenous people, about 10 black people, and 800 million white people. Around [-].

Rey's policy has achieved very remarkable results, and has a deep-rooted foundation for the rule of the empire.

In addition, when it comes to climbing the technology tree, Rey also said that he is not inferior to others. In this regard, Rey said, "To climb the technology tree, don't you just have a brain and a mouth?!".

Through lures, invitations, kidnapping, etc., Rey "invited" all the scientific masters he wrote down in his notebook to join one of the five schools of the Starlight Empire, the "Starlight Empire Royal Academy of Supreme Truth" (truth for short). college).

They also searched for talents through various scientific newspapers and asked the spies to send these precious talents to their rightful destination, the "Royal Supreme Academy of Truth of the Star Empire". After all, only here can they shine and benefit mankind.

In particular, several talents who were remembered by Rey: Halley, Goldbach, Euler... These giants in the field of mathematics were the first to be attacked by Rey, and they joined "Xinghui" regardless of active or passive. Imperial Royal Academy of Supreme Truth".

Ever since, in Bailuozhou in the middle of the 18th century, whether it was a newly minted little transparent or a well-known big boss, they often quietly disappeared from people's sight, instead of suddenly announcing to join the "Star Empire Royal Supreme Truth" Academy", just no more noise.

Many years later, Bai Luozhou also suddenly discovered this anomaly, mentioning the closed model of scientific research exchanges that had started for hundreds of years with a war for talent and restrictions on talent leaving the country.

Rey, on the other hand, relied on these talents to give wings to the scientific and technological development of the Star Empire. Rey was often the one to provide ideas and requests, while the scientific research dogs and workers under him had no choice but to work with Party A to dominate and gold. The Lord Overlord worked hard at the Overlord's request and racked his brains to satisfy the Overlord's various difficult requests.

Rey, on the other hand, enjoys the pleasure of dominating Party A. He is critical of various submitted results plans and changes them again and again. He is a vicious capitalist.As a result, while the scientific research strength and environment of Bailuozhou and Greco Island were waxing and waning, in 1760, Rey officially started the industrial revolution and industrial era. At this time, Bailuozhou was still far away from starting the industrial era.

In January 1760, under the instruction of Rey, the "School of Truth" invented the spinning machine and the improved steam engine that passed 1 hours of acceptance, which directly marked the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

Although the social structure and production relations of the Xinghui Empire have not undergone major subversive changes (after all, the royal family has always eaten meat, the Eight Banners drank soup, and the royal family has absolute control over various means of production), productivity has increased rapidly.

In just a dozen years, the Xinghui Empire has transformed from a backward agricultural country into the world's most advanced capitalist (feudal monarchy) industrial power. It is known as the "World Factory" and has laid the foundation for the Xinghui Empire to dominate the world in the future. A solid foundation.

Moreover, the Industrial Revolution of the Star Empire not only had great historical significance for the socio-political and economic development of the country, but also had a significant impact on the development of other capitalist countries and even the entire human society.

In particular, various countries in Bailuo Continent have also begun to learn from the Star Empire's advanced technology, and have further increased their emphasis on talents, and strictly guard against talents leaving the country.

Among them, the country that has benefited the most is the country of Yu, not only because it has the best foundation and environment, but also because of Rey's support, which supports the country of Yu to become hostile to the Bailuo continent and maintain the supreme status of the Xinghui Empire itself.

Furthermore, as the "great filial son" of the Republic of China, he has to repay the favor he received during his independence and development. It is not a big deal to give the Republic of China an advantage. After all, it belongs to Rey, Amelia and many white people. Home Country.

As for the construction of extraordinary things, it is very simple. One is to establish the Star Magic Academy on the island of Newfoundland, which belongs to the Star Empire and the royal family, to systematically train wizards and some knights.

Of course, the descendants of the royal family will also receive education here, especially the emperor's heirs and their descendants, regardless of whether they have extraordinary talents or not, must leave the palace at the age of 11 to receive education at Xinghui Magic Academy until they reach adulthood at the age of 18, and make further choices in the future. .

The other is to completely secure the secret realm of the sanctuary in Thunderbird Valley, build complete supporting facilities, and be guarded by thunderbirds, feathered snakes and house elves.

The last one is the Far North Eternal Sleeping Place in the Far North. Those great figures who are nearing their end of life and do not believe in Rey are placed here to sleep until their extraordinary resurrection.

…………

"Woooooooo..."

Rey's thoughts were interrupted by a sharp and long train whistle coming from the distance.

"Tattoo..."

A series of clear footsteps came from the tower behind Rey, getting closer and closer.

Rey looked back at his son Alexander Rhodes. Although he was already middle-aged, he was still very handsome and charming, but unfortunately he was still a little worse than Rey.

Rey looked at this son who, after turning 18, had gone through three years of enlistment in the army, four years at the grassroots level, three years at the provincial and municipal middle level, and five years at the central level, and finally stood out in the competition for the throne and became the heir to the throne.

Now Alexander has been supervising the country for a year under Rey's instruction and is familiar with various matters of government.

Rey looked at him and asked softly, "Alexander, how is the chancellor election of the Imperial Diet?"

Alexander looked at his father, who looked younger than himself and had not changed his appearance for decades, and said respectfully: "Franklin, nominated by you, father, was elected as prime minister for the next five (ten) years, and Washington was also elected as deputy prime minister. …”

Rey looked at his son who had finally grown up and nodded happily and said, "Okay! Very good... you are already a qualified emperor."

"Next, I will enter the sanctuary to sleep, and the empire will be left to you. I can rest assured..."

"Father! You..."

"Needless to say, since your mother, Elizabeth, and your uncle Will fell into deep sleep a few years ago, all the old friends are gone. The world now belongs to you young people."

"Actually, I have had this idea for a long time, but I am just a little worried. Now that I see that you are fully able to shoulder the responsibilities of an emperor, I can sleep peacefully..."

"You don't need to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind. Just declare my death at the end of November. In the following time, I will give the empire its last..."

"Yes...Father..."

…………

Augustus, noon, November 1770, 11.

The Star Empire royal family and the government jointly announced sad news to the world - the great founding emperor Rey Rhodes passed away in the palace on that day at the age of 65.

Supervisor Alexander Rhodes succeeded to the throne of the Star Empire and became the second generation emperor and head of state of the Star Empire, continuing to interpret the glorious history of the Star Empire.
