Lord of Riders

Chapter 87: Kingdom planning

   With the establishment of the new kingdom, the Calradia continent has once again returned to a state of peace. The Swadia Kingdom has been hit hard in the war and now needs self-cultivation. The Saiga Khan of the Khugit Khanate was busy consolidating his position. The secession war initiated by the Dastum Khan this time greatly reduced the prestige of the Saiga Khan.

   After the war, the Kujit Khanate moved to Harma in order to manage the recently captured territories.

   Dasta Khanate is holding a celebration party, the Dasta Khanate successfully split off, and Dastam Khan’s wishes have also been fulfilled. Dastum Khan easily obtained the city of Turga in the north of the Khergit Khanate, as well as five castles and hundreds of affiliated villages. But at the same time, the Dastar Khanate became a vassal state of the Salander Sultanate.

Shao Yu insisted that the kingdom must be absolutely independent. Although it needs the support of the Kingdom of Vigia, Shao Yu firmly stated that he must be absolutely independent. Vigia didn't want to just lose an ally, and finally agreed to Shao Yu's request.

   Shao Yu The actual power of the Shao Ming Kingdom is actually the weakest among the eight countries on the Calradia continent. So far, Shao Yu has controlled only three castles, Rome, Schules, and Sagitcher, a big city in Eichmore, and fifteen castles and villages under the city.

   Shao Yu promulgated a series of policies after he took office.

   Shao Yu first proposed to restore the civilian status of slaves. The main sources of slaves in Calradia are only a few, captured soldiers, civilians, and some are robbers and merchants.

   For the captured enemy civilians, merchants, and captured soldiers, the rulers of Calradia were used to sending them to their farms as serfs, and most of them would hang them to the robbers.

   Most of those who fall into the hands of robbers will be sold into the hands of slave traders. The robbers who are also caught by bounty hunters will be sold into the hands of slave traders.

   When Shao Yu was still in Schulesburg, Shao Yu began to free slaves to expand his castle. Now that the kingdom is established, Shao Yu pays more attention to the issue of slaves.

   The first step is to liberate all slaves in the country. Although this would violate the interests of many people, it has won the support of most of the civilian class. At the same time, Shao Yu will naturally receive the allegiance of those who have been released from slavery.

   Shao Yu quickly formulated several basic legal norms and put forward the idea of ​​governing the country by law.

   Few people have heard of this in Calradia, because in Calradia where the king decides everything and the nobles decide everything, the king and the nobles are the law, and what they say is the law.

   Shao Yu integrated the discussions with Eleon and added some new ideas. A basic legal system has been formulated.

  First, no one, including nobles and lords, shall kill civilians without cause. Those who are guilty must also be judged by law after trial.

  Secondly, slaves are not allowed to be owned or sold. Once the offender is found, not only will the slave be released, but also a penalty of 50 dinars per slave will be imposed. The nobles who committed this crime directly deprived the nobles of their status.

   Third, you must not organize underground gangs, such as the Brotherhood.

   There are many other common laws, such as theft, homicide, robbery and other common problems.

   Shao Yu set up a specific agency to enforce the court to implement the law.

   Then Shao Yu formulated a military system, stipulating that people aged 18 to 50 in the territory must participate in the guards of various castles, towns, and villages. This is an organization equivalent to a militia. After they register with the management officials, they usually do their own thing, but they must participate in combat training regularly. Join the battle when necessary.

   The real main force is an army that voluntarily joins the army and is formed after some selection.

"The army recruits and joins the army and is paid according to different standards. Those who have gained military service on the battlefield can obtain title or land by virtue of the accumulation of military service. Soldiers who died in the war will take care of their families, and the families of soldiers can enjoy the corresponding benefits. Duty-free land"

   Shao Yu read out the notices of conscription in the castles of various villages, and also carried out extensive publicity in the towns.

   There are more than 20,000 residents in Aichemore, and there are more than 10,000 people in the villages below. This is also the entire population of the Shao Ming Kingdom.

However, Shao Yu’s enlistment notice quickly aroused the enthusiasm of the people. Those who have military merits can get land and even the title. This is unthinkable in other countries. The title is something that money can’t buy, Calradia. The mainland are all born nobles, and they have never encountered aristocratic status obtained by military merits. Which young man does not want to rely on his own efforts to make himself superior, and enjoy the treatment of tax-free land~www.readwn.com~ Although not much, it can greatly improve the lives of family members. There are not many good opportunities like this. After receiving the news, Shao The young people of the Ming Kingdom immediately joined the army. Seven or eight thousand people signed up to join the army in just a few days.

"Look, your majesty, so many young people join the army. If the soldiers had to go to the villages to conquer in the past, those measures of your majesty are really useful." Aichamore's conscription site, Lord Ubai and Shao Yu, etc. People watched the young people who kept coming to sign up and couldn't help but say

   Lord Ubai has now taken refuge in Shao Yu, and Shao Yu still uses Aichemore as his fief, but Shao Yu’s current fiefdom system is very different from the previous Calradian fiefdom system.

  In the Shaoming Kingdom, although Lord Ubai is still the lord of Aichamore, he cannot collect taxes in Aichamore. They are only responsible for the management of the territory, and all taxes on the territory are managed by the country's financial institute. However, in order to win over these lords, Shao Yu adopted another method. In addition to the territories they manage, he would also give them an economic fief. Shao Yu established five new villages in the original 15 villages to open up wasteland. In this campaign to eliminate slaves, the Shao Ming Kingdom liberated more than two thousand slaves. The slaves who were restored to their freedom were assigned to the construction of five villages by Shao Yu. After the villages are built, they are the villagers of these villages. Shao Yu asked them to reclaim wasteland there, and the land of these villages will be used to enclose the lords as economic fiefs. All income is used as a tax for the lord. The farmers will get a certain wage and enough food.

The slaves who were restored to freedom naturally had no objection, and some were just grateful to Shao Yu. As for the lords, only Eleon, Balhu and Ubai Lords were rewarded by Shao Yu, and they naturally also I am very grateful.
