Unknown Knight

Chapter 392: Restless Winter

First came the title registration, then the "Second-Son Succession Law", then the "Transfer of Enfeoffment Order", and finally the "Noble and Land Approval Law". This series of policies confused the country-class nobles of the Kingdom of Victoria and led them by the nose throughout the whole process.

Our Prince Aix is ​​like an excellent card player, playing cards one after another continuously. Not only does he not give the nobles of the Kingdom of Vigia a chance to breathe, he also made it impossible for these unsophisticated country bumpkins to see his purpose clearly, until he finally secured the victory. Even if these Vigia nobles discovered his so-called conspiracy, it was already too late to save the situation.

It took a total of more than 150 days from the Queen's accession to the full implementation of a series of policies. Historians of later generations recorded these 150 days in vivid detail and gave them a name that will go down in history forever - the Queen's New Deal.

During these one hundred and fifty days, the structure of the entire Kingdom of Vigia changed subtly. Unknowingly, the Kingdom of Vigia changed from a loose feudal separatist kingdom similar to an alliance of interests to a centralized kingdom tightly bound by meritorious titles and land.

Our protagonist, Prince Aix, has unknowingly taken control of the entire Kingdom of Vigia. When examining the military map of the Kingdom of Vigia, he begins to look to wider areas outside the kingdom.

By the time the first snow of the year fell, Prince Aix's new policies had been fully implemented, the domestic opposition of nobles and the forces of the Dark God had ceased, and the turbulent social environment gradually stabilized.

Normally, the winter in the Kingdom of Vigia is lazy and peaceful. At this time, most of the kingdom's territory is covered with ice and snow, people have difficulty moving, and the entire social activities are relatively reduced, but our Prince Aix is ​​not idle.

At this moment, he is busy with a group of veterans and a group of outstanding workers selected from the working group members some time ago. They are supplementing and revising a series of laws of the new policy in light of the problems that arise in the actual operation of the new policy. They are extremely busy.

When Prince Aix had time, he also rewarded his subordinates. Now, Aix has two marquises among his trusted subordinates, namely Marquis Bandak and Marquis Atiman. These two were the first to follow him and also the two with the most outstanding achievements.

In addition to these two, Aix also appointed a large number of earls, viscounts, and barons. Basically, all of Aix's subordinates were rewarded. Even Igor, who was born a serf, was made a baron. It was truly a case of one person's success bringing honor to the whole family.

Aix was never stingy with his own people. Some time ago, many old families of the Kingdom of Vigia were wiped out because of rebellion, and the "Law on the Approval of Noble Lands" was passed to limit the land area of ​​local nobles. Aix now had a lot of fertile land in his hands, and his subordinates saw that they had a share, and each of them got a lot of the best land.

Bandak and Atiman, who were both marquises, were also appointed as city lords, managing the cities of Kulau and Rivacherze respectively. Together with Kudan City managed by Lady Gandé herself, and Rivadin, the royal city where Aix was located, Aix had effectively controlled every city in the kingdom.

In addition, counts like Fatis, Resarit, Ranhu, Desevi and others were also rewarded with a castle. These castles were evenly distributed throughout the Kingdom of Vigia, allowing Aix's power to penetrate into the countryside and form a very effective control over the entire Kingdom of Vigia.

Although the Queen's new policy weakened a group of nobles and made them passive, it inspired more people. The second sons, illegitimate sons, and the promoted subordinates of Prince Aix all became active.

Some of them would bring their secretaries with them from time to time, walk through the thick snow, and plan which piece of land to reclaim next spring next year next to their own territory.

Some of them sit by the warm fireplace, carefully studying the patent certificates obtained from the auction of the Technology Research Institute or the Biological Research Institute, planning where to build their future workshops.

Some of them were comparing the information they had bought from the Holy Cave Mercenary Group at high prices on their desks, which showed the real-time prices of goods from various places, and then deciding which goods to buy in large quantities and which ones to sell as soon as possible.

The entire kingdom did not become dormant due to the severe cold and snow like in previous years. All kinds of transactions were carried out in taverns, castle halls, and banquets. There were even a large number of pre-ordered goods, and as a result, there appeared delivery details and agreements for the pre-ordered goods. This was the prototype of futures, and the kingdom's financial industry began to sprout unknowingly.

Even the army, which usually takes most of the holidays in winter, is not idle. In the military camp in the royal city of Rivadin, the three thousand regular soldiers still insist on daily training unless there is a heavy snow.

The previous plan to lure out the enemy was very successful, and because of the surprise brought by Robert, the spy chief of Fort Roma, a lot of time was saved. During the implementation of the plan, there was no large-scale fighting or long-term military confrontation. Therefore, Aix's army suffered almost no losses and achieved the current results. He easily controlled the entire Kingdom of Vigia and became the Prince of Aix, who had wealth, power and sex. It was a perfect protagonist in a cool novel.

Now that everything has settled down and after a winter of settling down, the domestic situation has also calmed down. However, our Prince of Aix is ​​still assembling 3,000 standing troops, and his purpose is obvious.

Yes, as soon as the busy farming season is over in spring, Aix will send troops again to attack Eden and his son in Tiha City.

Logically speaking, he had only been in control of the Kingdom of Vigia for a short time, and the domestic situation had just calmed down. The most important thing he should do was to stabilize, recuperate, and wait for an opportunity to settle his personal grudges in the future.

But Aix was unwilling to wait any longer (and neither were the old friends who had read this far). Life is but a hundred years long, and he was a time traveler, so he had lived two lives. He had experienced many ups and downs, life and death, and he almost became a fool forever. The ups and downs of life had given Aix a deeper understanding of life. He knew that time flies, life is short, and people should be able to be proud when they are proud, and should not leave misery and depression to themselves for the so-called overall situation.

For several years, Axel has been struggling to survive, but when he calms down, he will think of the woman who made him grow up and the first woman he gave true love to, the beautiful time in the Biglen cowshed, and the handkerchief with the scent of lavender, which have become his unforgettable memories and the regrets in his life.

There is also Old John, who has always placed high hopes on him but whose life or death is unknown, and a large number of subjects who are loyal to him but have been trapped in Talboliya and are still slaves. These people have become a thorn in his side. He has endured it long enough. If possible, he is unwilling to delay it any longer for even a second.

Moreover, the domestic rebel forces are weak and cannot cause any major disturbances. Although there are still many external hostile forces, their forces are dispersed and the intelligence does not show any unusual movements of these enemies.

This time, Aix gathered the army together, but the soldiers did not fight a hearty battle. After a winter of training, everyone was full of energy and morale was high. Now I have the advantage, it's time to take revenge.
