Chapter 638 (1/2)
The agreement reached between Sean and King Laurie was relatively friendly and broad, and signed a series of trade agreements. In the overall situation, I dare not say that it will not change at all, at least the impact is not as big as imagined.
There is a difference between King Laurie and Princess Sophia, especially after Shawn married Princess Sophia.
In order to avoid suspicion, Sean took the initiative to abolish some unnecessary and sensitive institutions led by the Yongye army in Wallace tower, and some industries also let King Laurie take a large-scale stake.
For example, the flying eagle system in the Liming pub was sold directly to King Laurie at cost.
As for some things, whether or not they took the opportunity to move from the light to the dark, it was only Sean himself who knew.
In the short run, the interests of the Yongye military leaders will be damaged. Not only will the newly established influence in varesta, Wangdu, shrink, but also the volume of trade will be affected.
But in the long run, it's good.
Since some sensitive things have been removed, it is not easy for King Laurie to find fault even if the relationship between the two sides deteriorates. Even if he tears his face and tries his best to attack the Yongye army leader, the impact on them is relatively limited.
Shaun is not optimistic about the situation in wangduwalesta. Now is just the eve of the storm. For a long time in the future, it will be the storm center of the whole Byron League.
The new Pope of the Holy See, St. George's whole Union mission, was interrupted by Princess Sophia's high handed means.
Pope St. George and queen Enid, who had bewitched King Laurie, were driven back to Saint Ann's land.
But king Laurie was poisoned deeply. Princess Sophia tried her best not to change his mind, but to make the relationship worse.
Without any special circumstances, King Laurie is now basically not in contact with Princess Sophia.
Once Princess Sophia left the capital, she thought with her buttocks that the Vatican headed by Pope St. George would surely launch a new round of counterattack.
The so-called way is to help the tree straight.
When the tree is unknowingly long and crooked, the external force plays a very small role.
However, Princess Sophia had no way to delay the marriage. Once she got married, she would no longer be a member of the royal family of Lancelot. At that time, she could not easily interfere with the affairs of the royal family of Lancelot.
Besides external reasons, there are also problems within the royal family.
When the Baowang faction had the princess faction as its foreign enemy, they could share a common hatred against the enemy.
When they expel the princess faction, they will inevitably fall into the internal struggle for power and profit.
This is not only a painful period of power change, but also a manifestation of King Laurie's lack of internal control.
The change of power is not just a ceremony of accession to the throne, handing over a symbolic sword of courage.
It also involves a series of things.
Prince Laurie, no, if King Laurie is smart enough, he should not be in such a hurry to become a princess. Instead, he should return to Princess Sophia, who has retired as regent, as his first prime minister. With his help, he spent ten years and eight years to stabilize his regime, and then it is not too late to consider the issue of de princess.
Although he was of noble birth, he was still too young.
Temperament has not yet been fully shaped, wrist has not been honed out.
That's right.
When Princess Sophia was forced to ascend the throne of Regent, she did not even have the age of King Laurie now, but they grew up in different environments.
Princess Sophia grew up in a blood castle like a military camp. Naturally, she was more mature than her peers.
The most important thing is, at that time, she was standing behind Cedric. Isn't her order of Steel Roses the best proof?
It was all made up of the descendants of the Knights of the blood castle. No one can tell how many of the decisions made by Princess Sophia in her early years belonged to the will of the Great Duke Cedric. Everyone was just opening one eye and closing one eye.
King Laurie wanted to run when he had just learned to walk.
It is inevitable that we should fall.
King Laurie did not show that he wanted to hire Princess Sophia as his prime minister.
Recently, Princess Sophia, who had a lot of bird anger, didn't take the initiative to post it.
After his marriage with Sean, he packed up his gifts and influence, and prepared to withdraw his princess fiefdom in an all-round way.
Princess Sophia is using this method to express her anger.
After so many years of hard work for the royal family of Lancelot, she was rewarded by saying that she was not angry or angry at all. That was false.
Over the next period of time, running in with Shawn and Yongye's army leader will take up most of Sophia's energy.
After cooperating with the Yongye army leader for such a long time, Princess Sophia felt that her understanding of Yongye military leader was still in the skin.To be more accurate, Yongye military leader's development speed is far beyond her imagination.
Her understanding of the general office of a backward state, do not know now Yongye military leader, have what kind of surprise waiting for themselves.
Thinking of this, Princess Sophia was a little excited and eager to try.
Sean and Princess Sophia went upstream along the Jacobs River in the princess boat.
First to Princess Sophia's fiefdom.
Although there was no second wedding here, it was also a change of carriage and a tour along the main cities.
The main purpose is to inform the people of the wedding of Princess Sophia. At the same time, it also introduces the male master, Earl Shawn, to the officials and nobles in various cities.
This is a common method used by the barons and nobles of the whole Byron League. Whether it is a new ruler or a big marriage, some lords even send their trusted ministers or visit their territory in person every time.
King Laurie, who has just ascended the throne, is also preparing to visit the Royal territory.
To do so, on the one hand, let the people below know their new rulers as soon as possible.
On the other hand, it also enables the rulers to have a more intuitive understanding and cognition of the territory and city they rule.
This refers to the more diligent rulers. Some Lords have visited their territory for a few times throughout their lives. As for the operation of their territory, we can imagine.
Of course, the frequency of running in his own territory does not mean that his territory is well managed.
Some people who like luxury not only try their best to be extravagant all the way, but also eat, drink, play and feast guests wherever they go. As a result, the local financial burden is greatly increased. Some of the territory has been well developed, which makes them have a complete financial deficit.
It depends on whose hands the method works.
After ten years of renovation, Princess Sophia's fiefdom has been marked with a strong personal label.
Here is no longer a simple feudal system, but with a strong city-state flavor.
The top decision makers of the city are no longer those hereditary lords and nobles, but the mayors and the municipal system centered on them.
Every municipal system will not only affect a city, but also the surrounding villages and towns, more or less, will be affected by the relevant policies formulated by it.
For example, if there is a large mineral deposit near a city, the municipal system is mostly resource-based, focusing on the mining of this mine.
If a city is suitable for large-scale grape planting, most of the surrounding areas of the city are mainly grape planting and wine making.
If it is suitable for large-scale cultivation of grain, they will try their best to develop grain.
This relatively professional development model is closely related to the more convenient transportation conditions in recent years.
If the goods can be transported out, they will dare to develop like this, otherwise they will have to let the surplus crops rot in the ground.
The Yongye army leader is the main buyer of the crop output of Princess Sophia's fiefdom in recent years, and one-third of it has been eaten by them.
