The next day, Owen summoned the nobles loyal to the royal family to a meeting with Clive and the apprentices he had brought with him at the town hall.The main purpose of the meeting was to form the new town hall and explain to the nobles how the new town hall worked, and the meeting was chaired by Clive.Before the meeting began, Owen made a big announcement to everyone."
Now that everyone has arrived, then I announce to you that I have decided to abolish the status of Junhui City as the royal capital and set up Dawn City as the new royal capital."
As soon as these words came out, the nobles present reacted quite violently and objected one after another."
Never, Your Majesty."
Viscount Nishizawa was the first to open his mouth to persuade: "Junhui City is the royal capital of the first king, how can it be said that it will be abolished?"
And from all aspects, Junhui City is undoubtedly the most suitable place to be the royal capital. ”"Yes, the north of Dawn City borders the Marker Desert, and it is too dangerous to face such a threat as undead monsters every winter!""
And the curse of the Kaztu, sooner or later Dawn City will become a second Red Sand Fortress, and it will depend on the blood transfusion of the kingdom to survive.""
The kings of all dynasties have invested their efforts in the construction of Junhui City, and it is the most royal capital, which is incomparable to Dawn City, which has just been promoted to a city not long ago."
Other nobles chimed in, voicing their opposition.Sure enough, when Owen mentioned this decision to Clive yesterday, he had already expected to be opposed by the nobles."
I've made up my mind."
Owen's tone was firm.Auroville has undergone reforms, and has initially established an industrial system, and it is still expanding, and the momentum of development is very strong.Junhui City has just been captured, and there are problems left over from the past in all aspects, which urgently need to be reformed.Although it also has its own advantages, such as a large number of people and craftsmen, Owen feels that the focus of development should still be based on Dawn City."
Your Majesty."
Viscount Nishizawa continued, "I know that you grew up in Dawn City, and you have a deep affection for it.However, Dawn City is located in a remote area, and there is no way to radiate the entire territory of the kingdom, and only Junhui City can better rule the entire kingdom. ”On this issue, Owen has not thought about it.As long as a wireless telephone is set up in the local town halls, the new policies issued by Dawn City in the future can be communicated in a timely manner.Moreover, according to the five-year plan, Owen is also preparing to build infrastructure in the kingdom, plus various new means of transportation brought about by the development of science and technology.In the future, the kingdom's transportation roads will inevitably extend in all directions and be very convenient, and wherever the royal capital is set up, it can easily radiate the entire territory of the kingdom.It's just that even if Owen makes an explanation, not to mention whether the nobles will believe it, even if they do, they will find other reasons to oppose it.How to convince this group of nobles?
Owen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
[Master, Alpha has a piece of historical information from the past of the Earth Alliance for reference, which may be able to help solve the current problem. 】Alpha's voice suddenly sounded in his head.
[Oh?
Let's hear it. 】Owen was slightly interested.
[In 1416 AD, there was a state of the Zhu dynasty in the Earth Alliance, and the ruler at that time decided to move the capital, but was opposed by the minister.However, the ruler adopted this decision with a strong attitude, while retaining the status of the original capital......
This kind of system of setting up multiple capitals is called the capital system. 】This historical information gives Owen some ideas, who stipulated that the kingdom can only have one royal capital?
After thinking about it, Owen raised his hand to silence those present."
Ladies and gentlemen, I just had a new idea......
"It is better to establish Dawn City as the new royal capital, but not to abolish the status of Junhui City as the royal capital, but to continue to play its role as a companion capital."
This new practice was unheard of, and the nobles present looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.Viscount Nishizawa thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, your establishment of two royal capitals is not conducive to the stability of the kingdom and may cause chaos. ”"No, it won't."
Owen smiled slightly and explained, "Junhui City is to supplement the lack of Dawn City, forming a pattern that coordinates with each other and has its own focus.In the future, Junhui City will play an auxiliary role such as echoing, supplementing and cooperating, and will be in a sub-core position. ”Then, he also promised to hold an enthronement ceremony in Junhui City, which blocked the mouths of the nobles, and finally no one objected.Having finally dealt with these nobles, Owen re-announced: "Then, I officially announce that Dawn City will be established as the new royal capital, and Junhui City, as the deputy capital, will also enjoy the status of the royal capital. ”With that, he turned to look at Clive again."
After the meeting, remember to make an announcement to the public to announce the decision.""
Yes."
Clive replied.Of course, in addition to the announcement of the new royal capital, he also had to issue a recruitment order, so that literate and capable civilians could enter the city hall to work, and invite craftsmen to Dawn City with favorable treatment, etc.Just as Owen was about to let the meeting continue, a soldier burst into the conference room, saying that there was an emergency, and handed Owen an open letter.After reading the letter on the spot, Owen's expression immediately became very serious."
Clive, I'll leave this meeting to you, I'm going to deal with something more serious.""
Understood."
Clive stood up and stroked his chest, "Leave it to me, Your Majesty." ”Then, Owen left his seat and hurried to the suburban docks with his escort soldiers, preparing to hold an emergency meeting with Viscount Jarvis and others aboard the battleship King.On the other side, the royal palace castle.Yuchina was alone in her room, sitting at the table, playing with a teacup in her hand, super bored.At first, she was happy to be able to leave Auroville and meet Owen.When I arrived at Junhui City, I found that everyone was busy with their own work.Owen left the palace castle for a meeting, and Marpel had to follow, and the mission that had been supposed to interrogate the nobles with Yuchina had to be postponed.Good friend Winnie stayed on the battleship and didn't seem to be able to come in yet.In the huge palace and castle, there is no partner who knows and can play with Yuchina, which is really boring."
Oooh-oh-" Yucina looked up at the ceiling, "when are Brother Owen and Sister Marpel coming back?"
”No way!
Staying in your room all day will suffocate you, learn to have some fun on your own.Thinking of this, Yucina got out of her chair, quietly opened the door, and ran out to make sure that no one was outside.If she saw a patrol soldier or a servant, she immediately found a place to hide, and with the help of the vampire's keen sense, she was never discovered, and she had a good time.Before she knew it, Yuchina slipped up to the bedroom of the fourth princess, Emily.Oh no, there's someone coming up ahead!
In desperation, Yuchina quickly opened the window next to her, and after getting inside, she closed the window tightly and waited for the patrol soldiers to pass by.Through the crack in the window, she observed the soldiers outside walking away, and Yuchina let out a soft breath."
Phew—gone, safe.""
Who are you?"
Suddenly, a young female voice came from behind.Frightened, Yuchina shuddered and quickly turned around to find a little girl standing at the table, staring at her curiously.Unexpectedly, there were also girls who looked about the same age as herself, Yucina lowered her vigilance and replied, "My name is Yuchina, who are you from Dawn City?"
”"I'm Emily Wells, the fourth princess."
Seeing that the other party was a civilian, Emily involuntarily put her hands on her waist and puffed up her chest."
You have to call me Her Royal Highness.""
Princess?!"
Yuchina was slightly surprised, "That'......
Your Royal Highness, Princess, I'm sorry to disturb you, and I'm leaving. ”With that, she turned and walked towards the door."
Wait!"
Seeing this, Emily hurriedly called out to Yuchina.To be honest, she's bored by herself, and now she sees someone who might be her playmate, how can she let it go?"

You said you came from Dawn, can you tell me what kind of place it is?"
Yuchina thought about it, it was nothing anyway, so let's talk."
Okay."
She nodded in agreement.As a result, without Owen's knowledge, Yukina and Emily become good friends.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
