Regarding this proposal of "Politics in advance", the "noble faction" that occupied half of the court suddenly expressed support, which surprised Zhou Ming.

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that this is reasonable.

You should know that the essence of this world's major event, even all important things, can be summarized in one word: interests.

The essence of everything is interest.

There is a natural conflict between the imperial power and the noble lords, and the reason is also interests.

For example, land, the noble lords occupied two-thirds of the empire's land and enfeoffed countless lords. On these lands, the emperor could hardly exert any influence. The various policies formulated by the empire could not be implemented on the lords' land.

Even if it is taxes, the noble lords offer the emperor every year only a little gift-oriented pocket money.

More than 80% of the taxes in the empire were collected from the prefectures and counties in the royal district.

Of course, the noble lords had the obligation to send troops and generals to defend the country, but now it is a peaceful era and there are few civil strife. There are no neighboring countries around the entire floating island and there are no external troubles, so the noble lords had basically no obligations to fulfill for this empire... except for nominally subordinate to this empire.

But things are moving forward. The 300-year peace has increased the population of the empire several times and the land has been fully developed. What follows is the burden being increased. Whether it is the emperor or the nobles, they are not satisfied on the limited land and are eager for more resources.

The emperor's power is still greater after all, the emperor has one-third of the land and half of the population. The noble lords cannot obtain more land from the emperor as rewards.

The power of the nobles is relatively scattered and is easily defeated by each one. As long as one of them commits a crime, the emperor will find an excuse to confiscate the family, destroy the family, reclaim the land, and change it to counties. The emperor will generally not be ruthless.

Therefore, over the past three hundred years, due to the implementation of policies similar to "reducing the vassal states", the strength of the imperial power has been growing. The nobles could only hold on to each other. On the one hand, they did not raise trouble and did not find excuses to start; on the other hand, they were united around the King Lucis to jointly deal with the expansion of imperial power.

But in fact, the Lucis family was also very conflicted, because after seeing the various benefits of the county system, the Lucis family also implemented a similar county system in their fiefdoms, strengthening the concentration of power, so that about half of the land in the fiefdom was gradually controlled by the Lucis family.

However, in order to win the support of the nobles, King Lucis had to stop the centralization process and no longer take back the land of the lord and vassals... I don't know whether this practice has many advantages or disadvantages.

In short, in the Orunian Empire, there was a natural opposition between the noble lords and the imperial power, and it was difficult to establish a relationship of mutual trust and dependence.

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor and the Lucis family had married each other from generation to generation, civil war would have broken out in this empire long ago.

Of course, there is another important reason why the aristocratic faction suddenly changed his mind and chose to support Zhou Ming in advance.

Zhou Ming personally formulated the "Empire Takeoff" plan.

What is the main core content of this plan?

Develop productivity and develop productivity frantically.

How crazy is it?

In about ten years, the empire's total agricultural output value would increase by more than three times.

In about ten years, the empire's total industrial output value would increase by more than 50 times.

When I first saw this plan, many people's first sense was absurdity, crazy, and incredible.

But after looking through it carefully, I gradually felt that it was extremely feasible and thought that dreams could be turned into reality, as long as everyone followed the steps planned by this plan.

In this way, after the imperial industrial and agricultural output value exploded, people's living standards will be greatly improved and material civilization will become extremely abundant.

All classes of the empire have money and enter a well-off era, so they can become richer and enter the "Great Prosperity Era".

How to enter the era of great prosperity?

It is the empire that formed a "floating fleet" that sailed across other continents or floating islands, transporting countless commodities to other countries, in exchange for countless treasures or high-value resources, conducting foreign trade, and seizing countless wealth.

In short, it is to embark on a path of crazy wealth.

Is it interesting?

Is this interesting?

For Zhou Ming, this is really meaningless. He has long lost interest in seizing money.

But it's interesting to others.

The ministers in the court were full of interest and were ready to join and invest, hoping to get a share of the pie.

The nobles couldn't sit still, and they applied for cooperation one by one, fearing that the huge amount of wealth would go away from them.

Some nobles even had the power to be fooled and were not afraid of the threats from the imperial power to them. They used the bargaining chip to agree to the emperor's early power to gain favorable impressions from the emperor in exchange for an opportunity to join and invest.

Fortunately, Zhou Ming responded shortly after formally taking power, and ordered people to start an "Imperial Development Infinity Company" and issued a large number of stocks. Regardless of ministers, nobles, ordinary merchants, and civilians, they could pay for money to buy them. All capital franchise is welcome.

As for the royal forces represented by Zhou Ming himself, they account for 33% of the shares and enjoy the dominance and important decision-making power.

In addition, as a large number of infrastructure construction projects are about to be launched, in order to improve construction efficiency, Zhou Ming also plans to increase the number of magic net walkers in his hands from 100 to 1,000, and devote them to various construction activities.

After taking power, he worked hard for seven consecutive days. After a lot of tasks were arranged, Zhou Ming, who finally relaxed and rested, faced another headache.

Urgeing marriage.

King Lucis applied to enter the palace. After meeting Zhou Ming alone, he made a request to hope that he would fulfill his promise and marry Elsa as soon as possible.

"Marry Elsa as the queen?"

Zhou Ming was shocked and shook his head and said, "I am only 15 years old. Who did you get married so early?"

"It's normal to get married at the age of 15. Many people in the people get married at the age of 12 or 3. 15 is not a young age."

The old Wangjue said again: "Besides, Elsa is two years older than you, and she is about to turn 18. When she is married, you are embarrassed to delay her, your Majesty, right?"

"No, no!"

Zhou Ming waved his hands repeatedly: "Wait a little longer, one I am not ready yet, and the two are indeed young. I saw from a book that men contact men and women too early will cause great damage to their bodies and may easily damage their lifespan... I want to be a great emperor, I want to become famous in history, so I hope to have a healthy and long-lived body."

"What a bastard!"

Old Wangjue stared angrily: "I broke my body at the age of 13, and experienced many battles at the age of 15. Even after 80, I often broke my head and tried it out. Last night I enjoyed two beauties and asked them to ascend to both... How could it hurt your body?"

"In my opinion, if the method is appropriate and the posture skills are skilled, this matter between men and women will not only not harm the body, but will prolong life! Living to ninety, one hundred!"

"Boy, your worries are completely redundant. If you want to be healthy and long-lasting, Grandpa Zeng can teach you that while you are guaranteed to be a hundred years old, I will let me hold a grandson next year!"

"The marriage is settled like this. Three days later it will be a good day. I will go back and have people prepare."

When Zhou Ming heard Old Wang Jue's words, his eyes widened.
Chapter completed!
