Chapter 886
Sitting on the throne as a woman did bring a lot of resistance to Artoria, but with the help of Zhou Xiaoning and Mei Lin, she finally survived.
And some restless guys were also secretly dealt with. During this period, Zhou Xiaoning also made a few shots, so his combat power dropped again, and finally stayed at the level of the late sixth order.
This kind of combat power is weak but definitely not weak, but it does not have the effect of absolute crushing.And thanks to Gaia and Alaya, the two little lolitas, if Zhou Xiaoning can't solve the opponent as soon as possible in the battle, his combat power will continue to decline as the number of attacks increases. Maybe it's really going to capsize in the gutter.
So in the end, Zhou Xiaoning didn't make any moves anymore, and An Anxin stayed by Artoria's side, acting as a think tank.
Zhou Xiaoning asked himself that he was not a born emperor, but he had enough capable people under his command, so he learned a lot of things naturally, even if he was allowed to manage Great Britain himself, it would not be a problem, let alone that he just gave Al Toria came up with an idea, so don't take it too easy.
There is a saying that food is the paramount necessity of the people. This sentence is applicable to any country in any era. After all, people cannot be fed even with food, so how can they be expected to serve the king.
Therefore, after taking office, the first thing Zhou Xiaoning did was to take out a large number of high-quality seeds.These seeds are produced in simulated farms, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed. They are not only highly resistant to disasters, but also have a particularly large yield. They only need half of the existing fields to feed the entire population of Great Britain.
Moreover, in the previous beating process, Zhou Xiaoning, in the name of Artoria, received a lot of land and finances from rebel nobles.At this time, the land was measured and divided and contracted to farmers.And publicly stated that as long as farmers pay the agricultural tax in full, the rest of the harvest will be their own.
Although the agricultural tax rate is relatively high, and Basic Mountain accounts for [-]% of the harvest income of each farmer, with the yield of the seeds provided by Zhou Xiaoning, as long as they are not lazy, [-]% of the income is enough to ensure their food and clothing. Little surplus.This is much better than working as a tenant farmer for aristocrats for a whole year, but barely supporting a family.
As a result, Artoria's reputation among the people rose rapidly, and at the same time, Zhou Xiaoning, the royal advisor, was also famous. After all, this series of reforms and seeds came from him. How could those poor farmers Can not appreciate.If this were in Huaxia, someone would probably give him a longevity card.
In fact, when this policy was first implemented, Zhou Xiaoning thought that some aristocrats whose interests had been damaged would come forward to oppose it, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.Not to mention the powerful force of him, Merlin, and Artoria is there, but anyone who cherishes their own life will not confront them blatantly.Secondly, in the hearts of those nobles, except for people of their class, everyone else is a pariah, and they don't deserve too much attention from them. What's more, the land contracted by Artoria is not from them, so why should they bother? That leisure.
Precisely because of this, most of the nobles let this policy go, neither agreeing nor opposing it.But as the life of those free farmers got better and better, the tenant farmers under the nobles couldn't help but become more active. Many people would rather go to land reclamation than work for those nobles.Although it will be a little hard at the beginning, but with the support of a series of preferential policies offered by Zhou Xiaoning, as long as they survive the first few years, their lives will definitely get better.
Because of the departure of a large number of professional farmers, it is difficult for the nobles to find suitable people to help them take care of the fields, and they will naturally fall into disuse after a long time.
But at this time, Zhou Xiaoning took advantage of the situation to reclaim the land at a very low price, and then transferred the contract to farmers.After he did this, nearly [-]% of the land in Great Britain belonged to the royal family, not to mention greatly reducing the strength of the nobles, but also firmly grasping the hearts of the people.Now, those nobles who want to do something don't need Zhou Xiaoning and the others to take action. The masses of the people can drown them with a single spit.
You must know that the eyes of the people are discerning. They know who gave them a good life now, and whoever wants to destroy it is their enemy!
I'm afraid that those nobles never even dreamed that things would develop to this extent. Otherwise, even if they risk offending Zhou Xiaoning and the others, they would have to cut off the signs at the very beginning.Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world. All they can do now is put away those unrealistic thoughts, and even a considerable number of nobles took the initiative to hug Artoria's thigh and began to work for her.
It has to be said that there are still many talents among the nobles. For example, many knights of the Knights of the Round Table are from noble backgrounds.
What Arturia wanted to see was a prosperous Great Britain, so naturally she would not refuse the service of those nobles, and she even took this opportunity to reorganize the Knights of the Round Table.
Based on what she knew about each knight, Arturia recruited all her companions in memory one by one, Lancelot, Gawain, Geraint, Bedivere... a total of more than 150 people, although they did not reach their peak There were more than [-] people in the period, but so many outstanding knights gathered together, it is also an unprecedented prosperity.
However, the difference from the original history is that this time, there is an extra Zhou Xiaoning in the Knights of the Round Table, and instead of Lancelot, who is supported by the first knight, sits in the position closest to Artoria.
No one objected to this. Although none of them had seen Zhou Xiaoning make a move, the queen they supported, Artoria, had publicly said that if life and death were to be fought, she would not be Zhou Xiaoning's opponent.Her Majesty the Queen is a perfect knight and will never lie, so every Knight of the Round Table will respect the strong when facing Zhou Xiaoning.
In terms of government affairs, the current prosperity of Great Britain is the best proof of Zhou Xiaoning's ability. No one here dare say that they can do better than Zhou Xiaoning.
In addition, the ambiguous relationship between Zhou Xiaoning and Artoria can be seen by anyone who is not blind. It is just to save Artoria's face, and no one talks about it publicly.However, in private, the bet on when Zhou Xiaoning and Arturia will be together has been going on for a long time. It is said that the initiator is Artoria's foster brother, that is, the young man named "Kai".
