“Not enough people.otbnkotgt "Oh" King Otto nodded thoughtfully, and then said something that almost made William vomit blood: "If it's not enough, just go get it."
"The problem is that no one has no one."
At this point, William finally broke out: "We are almost exhausted.
Several universities have arranged jobs not only for graduates, but even for junior students.
Some places have been forced to open their doors.
Not to the public colleges.
It should be said that the students who know almost nothing in the public colleges have been allowed to become civil servants.
But even this is not enough.
Turov has a population of over 800,000, and Shilonsk and Livonia have a combined population of over 6 million.
In addition, the neo-Gothic colonies in the New World also needed manpower.
The shortage of our administrative officials has reached almost 60%.
Three months of martial law is simply not enough time.
We're in trouble, we're in trouble, Father.
I did not even dare dissolve the local council in Polotsk.
I have to keep those bastards who are giving me trouble day and night.
Because if not, my kingdom will collapse in an instant We ate too much and now we have indigestion.
If there is no way to solve this problem, then our 50,000 troops will have to be trapped in the muddy ponds of Shilonsk and Livonia, and never want to come out.
Without these 50,000 troops, the power of the Hereford family will decline sharply.
If any enemy attacks us next, we will become extremely passive, and even say that we will spit out as much as we eat.
Father, do you understand this, Father?"
King Otto naturally didn't understand.
He was very surprised.
Why did the power of the Hereford family decline instead of rising after annexing Shilonsk and Livonia, two rich, fertile and densely populated lands?
"Can't we maintain the current order for the time being, and then slowly, bit by bit transform it?"
After a long time, King Otto slowly, even timidly, put forward this opinion.
In front of William, he did not look like a father or a king.
Instead, he looked like a bullied secretary or valet.
"But that will be very hard."
William looked a little annoyed: "It is the fastest and most convenient to take advantage of this time to destroy the old order and then establish a new order.
If we acquiesce to the continued existence of those old orders, then Then they will continue to condense and stabilize.
If we want to change a little bit, we need to spend ten times more time, energy, endure all kinds of disgusting things and keep repeating. " "You don't want this.
You want to be in one step, stabilize the two grand duchies as quickly as possible, and then establish a modern government system similar to Russia, and integrate these two grand duchies into the Hereford family's system as quickly as possible.
"That's right, isn't it?"
That is to say, King Otto continued to be strange, curious, and worried.
While he didn't know why his son was so anxious and irritable, a woman's voice came from beside him: William's aunt, Freya von Hereford, said leisurely.
"Yes, that's it."
William slowly exhaled, then nodded, looking at his aunt with complicated eyes.
In the recent period, as one of only four Herefords in the world, Freya, as a senior advisor to King Otto, also participated in the war to attack Shilonsk.
After not seeing each other for two or three years, William almost forgot that he still had such an aunt.
After meeting again, William was surprised to find that his aunt Freya had become different.
Of course, I'm not talking about appearance or figure here.
Freya, now thirty-four years old, is still as youthful and beautiful as she was when she was twenty.
Her strength has reached the knight mentor level, and she has not let the years leave any traces on her face.
What's different is her brain, and her heart.
After experiencing a series of events such as the Crusades, the Second Great Border War, and the founding of Russia, Freya finally realized the difference in the times.

She resigned from all positions in the Gothic Knights and dismissed the knights who followed her.
Live quietly in Novgorod.
At the beginning, King Otto wanted to make some arrangements for her.
Either join the military or participate in some government work.
However, Freya rejected them all.
Her Royal Highness the Princess seemed to have lost the will to do anything.
In the end, she only took away the empty noble title of Duchess of Tver, and then she dived into the royal library and read voraciously.
Some of the books collected here come from mainstream practical reference books in the human world, and some are from later series of books compiled by William.
Including but not limited to history, military, politics, culture, mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, hydrology, etc.
In the past few years, Princess Freya spent almost all her time in the Royal Library of Novgorod.
Apart from the most basic physical, physical and swordsmanship training, he never left the library.
Do not participate in any aristocratic gatherings, activities, or salons at all.
So much so that they were called prisoners of the Royal Library.
After reading and studying, Freya sorted out what she knew before, and what she did in the first half of her life seemed extremely funny.
The behavior I had insisted on before was like an inappropriate clown.
She finally understood where the inexplicable feeling in William's eyes when he looked at her came from.
In this way, Freya was reborn, just like emerging from a cocoon and becoming a butterfly, gaining a new life.
In this process, the sect war began.
Although she was very reluctant to leave the library, after thinking for a while, Freya still decided to join this war, watch, learn, and participate.
While applying what she learned, she also wanted to gain more experience, and Things that can't be learned in books.
This is also the reason why William looked at Freya with complicated eyes.
There are only four Herefords in the world.
William worked very hard to cultivate Shalumi, and also worked very hard to guide his father.
But the former is still unsustainable at present.
The latter's military achievements were unparalleled, but there was still little progress in other aspects.
In this case, Freya gave William a surprise.
From Freya's eyes, William saw reason and wisdom.
In addition, there are complex emotions similar to the look in his own eyes.
Knowing more things, Freya's views and opinions on William naturally changed.
Knowing that what William did was not a lunatic act as she had thought before.
Rather, it is a decision that is made after careful consideration.
But in the process, the various conflicts she had with William still made Freya feel very uncomfortable.
Logically speaking, she did something wrong and she should apologize.
But she thinks she is an elder, so doing this is a bit of a loss of status.
So I just held my neck and said nothing.
For the time being, the relationship between William and Freya is still very tense.
The two sides have some very reluctant cooperation that may be separated at any time.
This is the limit of what both parties can do.
"Yeah."
Looking at Freya, William wanted to tell her that standing and talking didn't hurt her back or something.
But after opening his mouth, nothing came out.
The population of more than six million in Livonia and Shilonsk has exceeded the combined population of the Hereford family's current territories.
If these territories, resources and population can be completely brought under control, then the power of the Hereford family will be greatly improved, but if it is not handled well, then the power of the Hereford family will be even greater than before.
Difference.
It's the same story with King Henry.

King Henry had been thinking about the problem for several years, but William understood it after thinking about it for a while.
Why did his international status decline after he was promoted to king?
It was for this reason that when he was the Grand Duke of Shilonsk, he was a powerful local prince who had great power and could unify the entire Wende Kingdom anytime and anywhere.
But after he became King Wende, he became a king with a local separatist power and was even weaker than his vassals.
The former represents infinite possibilities, while the latter is the basic orientation.
While his status improved, his strength and the territory, population and resources he actually controlled did not increase accordingly.
It would be strange for anyone to like such a guy.
Currently, William and the Hereford family are facing similar problems.
The old order was broken, but a new order could not be established.
Without enough officials and civil servants, military control had to be implemented.
Needless to say, there are various disadvantages of martial law.
What is even worse is that at present, when almost all the human world is involved in war, the Hereford family relies on the 50,000 troops at hand to support the situation.
If tens of thousands of troops are divided into newly occupied areas, what will happen in the next war?
Even if William is satisfied with the current gains and does not want to fight outside.
But the enemy, Emperor Kalman or Queen Victoria wants to attack him, what should he do?
The entire Hereford family now has three kingdoms.
The Kingdom of Wende is a traditional powerful vassal of the empire, and Polotsk is a manufacturing factory in the large border area.
Although Russia is not very strong and does not have a large population, it is the only place where the empire has expanded its territory in the past few hundred years.
Based on this, Russia is a flag of the empire.
As long as the Hereford family fights Wearing this flag can unite people's hearts.
In the future, it is natural to write and draw on this flag, add some badges or something like that.
Such a country with a population, resources, productivity, reputation and righteousness will be afraid of everyone who is not afraid of it.
If you are scared, you have to let it die.
Only when you die can you not be afraid.
William could already imagine the Hereford family being shouted at and beaten from all sides after this war.
In that case, any friendship, diplomatic mediation, or exchange of interests are all illusory, or there should be a prerequisite, and that is the army.
As long as the Hereford family has the best 50,000 troops in the human world, no matter whether it is His Majesty the Emperor or Queen Briton, they must be polite when talking to them.
"The army cannot be dispersed.
It is okay to implement military control, but the troops cannot be dispersed.
At least four of the five legions must continue to be firmly grasped."
William finally said decisively: "If there are not enough officials, we will be ignored for the time being.
We must hold the army."
At this point, he almost gritted his teeth and said: "Let those bastards be happy for a few days and we will maintain the old order until this war is over. .”160420oshow7:
