Chapter 5: "Teach" the Little Prince

It is not unreasonable to say that love is long and long. During the most discouraged days of Bardolian, during the days when he was completely desperate for the future, a gentle and beautiful girl could easily enter his heart. The reason why the young knight could stand up so quickly was entirely because of the meticulous and careful care. In this way, it was natural for the two young people to finally get together.

For Cocoli, Bardolian has more longing and yearning for Cocoli. For many years, girls of similar age either treat him as the target Joshia, or deal with him when they meet. The only girl who is adorable is Cocoli. The boy has no choice but to put all his yearning for women in his heart on the little princess of Beast Ear. It would be abnormal if he didn't feel it. The little princess of Beast Ear is his first love, and first love is often fruitless. Bardolian is not the kind of frivolous man. He knows what he needs, and he can clearly know who he really values ​​in his heart. At this moment, the position of the little maid who blushed at every turn is nowhere to be reached in his heart.

Now Feng Kan has no intention of teasing Bardolian. Time waits for no one. Maybe when he and the young knights were chatting, hundreds of alliance soldiers might die in the battlefield, so he happily took Bardolian and Dalamensa to the Temple of War!

What? Why go back to the Wuxin Palace? Haven't you ever thought about how he came back? He came back through the Tsuma Mei tree seedlings in the Wuxin Palace! At this moment, the area that Tsuma Mei just fixed in the sub-space has been connected to the Elf Forest. Speaking of which, the World Tree helps to stabilize the space barrier Tsuma Mei saves a lot of effort! After Tsuma Mei completely takes over the responsibility of the World Tree, the Elf Forest has become a part of Tsuma Mei.

The northwest of the Elf Forest is connected to the endless plain, which saves a lot of effort to rush...

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the endless plains and vast black soil, more than a dozen war horses are running forward in small and fast steps. This speed is not too slow and can save horsepower. It is the most commonly used speed when rushing for a long distance. Moreover, this speed is not too bumpy so that the knights on the horse can consume more energy to control their balance.

At the front of this team of war horses was a strong black unicorn like a monster. At this moment, Mo Lan had a gorgeous tiger-patterned leather high-bridge saddle on her body, but there was no bridle or reins to bring it more restraint. This was what Feng Kan and Mo Lan agreed to. In addition, a saddle was a last resort, but there was no need to bring the more unfree bridle and reins to the black unicorn. Mo Lan and Feng Kan seemed to have a close relationship. No matter what Feng Kan wanted it to do, he just needed to pat the hard and strong neck like steel.

In the next dozen battles, except for Robert, Dante, Vincent, Bardolian and Dalamensa, they are the little prince Ralph and the inseparable Bauhinia Guard! Sashami must stay in the Elf Forest and stare at the World Tree. The promised reward has not been fulfilled yet! And since you want to make a handover with Tsunamei, you can't let the little girl leave the Elf Forest like this. Alessia and Grace need to follow France recently.

The Grand Duke returned to Walken. No matter what, the purple-haired girl was also a life-saving benefactor. He couldn't help but worry about the safety of the little princess of the Human Empire. If Ainius followed, if someone was not good for him, he had to consider whether he could bear the consequences. Moreover, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have such a open reason to get rid of the surveillance of the beast-eared maid! Only when his mind was in trouble would he be spared!

The little prince must also experience the battlefield! This is the request of Fastro VII. I really don’t know what His Majesty the King is thinking. It’s too late for others to hide in that place. He even has to go up and send his own son. Maybe it’s to train Xiao Zhengtai’s courage and insight, right? But isn’t this kind of exercise too intense? There is no eyebrow on the battlefield, if there is something that is three long and two short...

Feng Kan made up his mind. When he arrived at the place, he stuffed Xiao Zhengtai and the little girls who didn't know the importance of it into the rear of the Alliance Army. He went to do his own thing, so he let the little guy think he was here to travel!

"Brother Kan! How long will it take to see the war?"

However, it seems that the little prince did not care about his feelings at all, but instead showed an enthusiastic look. As a man, anyone will be full of yearning for the passionate war, right? This is a mark deeply imprinted in the soul, and the fighting instinct buried in the male genes is at work.

“…”

Feng Kan looked back with a black thread, then shook his head helplessly, "The little guy is in need of training!"

"Ralph, don't just think about watching the war, but think more about why you need to fight, what achievements you need to achieve in the war, what should you do next after the war is over, this is what the crown prince of St. Ostan should consider!"

“Eh?”

Ralph was stunned for a moment, and his fiery red tail threw it a few times unconsciously. According to his experience, when Feng Kan said such words, he would then pull out a lot of things he had never heard of.

"What do you think is the purpose of the seventh heresy war launched by Jamins this time?"

"Of course it's to annex Santa League and our St. Ostan!"

"Then why annex?"

"In order to destroy the pagans, for their supreme god... the undead will not believe this!"

"Well, it's great, it seems you've got some perspective on things."

Feng Kan nodded. It is already amazing for children of Ralph to see this, not to mention that the level of civilization development on the Trentak continent is at present. If everyone can see this clearly, then this battle may not be able to fight!

"Those words are lies! They are excuses used by scum to deceive and control the ignorant people. Only when this excuse is so high-sounding can they command the people to join the war!"

"I know this! Those people are actually using the people to drive them out for their own selfish interests."

Ralph nodded in disappointment, thinking he would say something, but he didn't expect that it was the truth that these discerning people could see at a glance.

"Yes! Not right."

“Eh?”

"On the surface, this war was indeed launched because of the interests of some people, but if this war does not break out, can you guarantee that the same thing will not happen in the future?"

"Of course it's impossible!"

"Why?"

"Because of their greed!"

“What else?”

"ah?"

"The greed is one aspect, but what about the deeper reason?"

"And, there are deeper reasons?"

"Isn't this nonsense? War is not a fun thing, it's a risk! Whoever guarantees 100% that he will be the winner? If a war is not defeated, he will not even lose his country or his family, but he will even lose his own life! Without any confidence and sufficient reasons, who will do that job?"

“…”

This statement is really fresh. To be honest, everyone else present, including Ralph, has never considered this issue!

"Then... Brother Kan, what's the reason?"

"Survival space!"

"Survival space?"

"That's right! It's the living space! Land, population, resources, food, labor, etc. are all the reasons that drive humans to start wars! That is the living space!"

“…”

"The Jamins Empire has a large population, and you know the reproductive ability of humans. There are nearly 400 million people in Jamins alone. So what will be a year later? What will be ten years later? What will be twenty years later? How many people will be at that time?"

"Hiss~~"

There was a sound of air conditioning behind me. Just imagining the huge population base, everyone was in awe of creepy.

Feng Kan smiled slightly. Before he could tell others that in his original world, there were more than 6 billion people in the world, and his own country alone accounted for more than one-sixth of them.

"How do you guarantee the survival of so many people? There is only so much land. No one can turn it out of thin air. People must have to eat when they are alive, right? You can't let people eat stones, right? Growing food requires land; since there are people, you have to have a place to settle him, right? Even if you build a doghouse, at least you need a place? Building a house requires land; where does the land come from?"

"occupied!"

“Where to occupy it?”

“…”

Ralph stopped talking, he already knew the answer to this question.

"So, the Jamins Empire must expand, and it must speed up its expansion. Otherwise, the more and more people in the country will threaten the foundation of the ruling class, and social contradictions will become increasingly intensified. Those who are hungry, those who are not full and don't have enough food and clothing, will fight for the right to survive. How to fight for it? Do those nobles ask the nobles to take out the land in their manor and share it with themselves? Will those nobles agree?"

"Absolutely not!"

"That's true, but if you don't agree, it will intensify the conflict. Those who have nothing will stand up and resist them, and will use riots to fight for their right to survive! So what should those nobles do?"

"Suppress!"

"Even if you suppress it once, the fundamental problem has not been solved. If you can suppress it once, then ten times? One hundred times? People are almost starving to death, what else can't be done? Instead of starving to death, it's better to fight for it. At least if you fight for resistance, there is still hope to survive. If you don't even resist, there will be no hope! Under such thoughts, the public riots will become more and more frequent, and the degree of riots will become more and more intense! How long can an empire support in such an internal environment?"

“…”

Ralph was silent. It was quite difficult to consider this issue at his age.

"So, if those nobles still want to continue to have their existing interests and do not want those people at the bottom to resist, they must expand outward! Use the plundered land to meet the needs of the growing population, and the people are actually very simple and kind. As long as they can eat a full meal and have a house without being exposed to the sun and rain, they will never think about rebellion. It is precisely because their needs are very few, so they can be easily controlled and deceived by the rulers, and follow their commanders to start wars again and again, because they believe that their commanders can fight for a better life for them in the war."

“…”

Now Ralph is considering his own problems. The problem of the human empire also exists in St. Ostan, or in any civilized society, but how to solve such problems?

"Does... have to do this? Will Trustuck never get peace?"

This is a heavy problem, a problem that any sociologist is studying. It’s a pity that even the earth with modern civilization has not been completely solved yet.

"In fact, the most fundamental thing about this problem is the distribution and production level of land."

Feng Kan could not solve this problem either. He was not a god, he was just a "home". He could only propose a way to slow down the intensification of this problem, strive for time to develop, and wait until the civilization of St. Ostan can develop to immigrate to the universe. This problem may be temporarily solved.

"First of all, it's the land issue! This is related to the land allocation system."

"Land distribution system?"

"Yes, take St. Ostan for example. The reason why St. Ostan is so stable now is that it has a different relationship with the land distribution system of the Jamins Empire."

"Huh? Is that true?"

"Of course it's the case!"

After spending half a year in St. Ostan, he is also a big lord. Feng Kan has put some effort into this.

"The aristocratic territory of St. Ostan is not hereditary, that is, if a lord's territory is not well managed, it will be taken back by the state at any time! The men of the noble inspector's office are also staring at all aspects all day long, which forces them to work hard to achieve results! How to achieve results? Do you rely on oppressing the people to increase taxes? Then the leaders are happy to change the noble above them! In fact, they don't do anything, just connect with the collective and do not cooperate. As long as the farmers don't work for a day, the harvest and products on the territory will be in big trouble!"

"……That……"

"Is it suppression? This is related to another advantage in the St. Ostan system."

“What are the advantages?”

"The military and political divisions are divided, and the military power is highly concentrated! The lords in various places are just the chief executives, with only a few guards around them, but no army. All the knights and regular troops are dispatched by the King's headquarters! The lords have no right to inquire about the military affairs. Similarly, the army is only responsible for public security operations and is not allowed to interfere in the civil affairs of various territories. In this way, they can have strong execution ability to supervise the lords in various places to act in accordance with the laws and regulations..."

Speaking of this, Feng Kan was suddenly stunned. Military and political divisions were separated? How could the level of civilization in the medieval era think of such things? Could it be that Fastro I also traveled through time?

"I understand that each lord has no army, so I can only find ways to solve local problems within the laws and regulations. Then I can only treat the people in good health and improve their enthusiasm for labor to improve their achievements in their territory!"

Ralph did not notice his little thoughts, but immediately discovered the problem.

"That's true, if the people in the life of their people, they will naturally support their lords more, their production enthusiasm will be greatly improved, the society will be more stable, and the lord's dominance will be more stable. This is a virtuous cycle. It is hard to imagine how enthusiastic the people will be to engage in labor production in an environment where even the safety of life and property cannot be guaranteed. I don't know what happened to Jamins, but I heard that in some places there, the lord belongs to the lord's property, and life and death are all based on the lord's thoughts. This system, coupled with a stupid lord, killing chickens and retrieving eggs seems to be inevitable!"

“…Well, it looks right.”

Everyone agrees deeply about this.

“Now let’s talk about productivity.”
