Putting down the battle report on Dragon's Tooth Ridge, Owen fell into deep thought, how to deal with the Popon Empire?
After thinking about it for a while, he finally made up his mind and called softly, "Someone's coming." ”The guards outside the door immediately walked into the office, stroked their chests and saluted, and asked, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
”"Go to City Hall and call me the Minister of Foreign Affairs.""
Yes."
The guards were ordered to retreat.He did not have to wait long before the Minister of Foreign Affairs hurried over and asked His Majesty what was the matter with him."
Immediately send an envoy to the Fagaran Alliance to tell the leader of the Fagalan Alliance that our country is willing to join forces with them to deal with the Popan Empire and curb the crazy expansion of the empire."
Owen said with a serious face.It just so happened that the emissary of the Fagaran Alliance had previously sent a request to the Morninglight Kingdom to join forces, and Owen intended to accept this request.The time for the expedition was chosen for next spring.At that time, the Dawnlight Kingdom will launch a counterattack from the east, while the Fagalan Alliance will attack from the south, flanking the Popon Empire on both sides, leaving the other side in a difficult situation of fighting on two fronts.The Fagalan League held back some of the forces of the Popon Empire in the south, and the KPA counteroffensive would be easier.Of course, Owen also made some requests to the Fagaran Alliance, such as catching the second princess, Trist Wells, and she must be handed over to the Morninglight Kingdom to deal with.Trist has committed an unforgivable felony in the southern frontier of the Morninglight Kingdom and must be escorted back to face trial in order to appease the wrath of the people of the South.Some people may wonder why the People's Army of the Dawnlight Kingdom chose to join forces with the Fagaran Alliance when they were capable of annihilating the army of the Popon Empire alone.In fact, Owen also has certain considerations for doing this.The nature of this war is different from the past, the previous Owen led the People's Army to fight was a civil war, the purpose was to unify the Dawnlight Kingdom, and after completion, it was to govern the country.And this time it is an attack on another country, which is obviously a foreign war.If you defeat the Popon Empire and pull the emperor down, you will be responsible for the defeated country, and it is extremely irresponsible to leave it alone.How to be responsible?
Direct occupation?
After swallowing the Popang Empire, the Dawnlight Kingdom is undoubtedly the largest country in this continent.Not to mention whether the people of the empire are willing to accept Owen's rule, the surrounding other countries will definitely be afraid of the Dawnlight Kingdom.The Fagaran Alliance is always thinking about how to recover the lost territory from the Popon Empire, and even if the opponent is replaced by the Dawnlight Kingdom, it is estimated that they will not stop.Owen doesn't want to make relations with other countries so stiff, he just wants to develop his own economy and let the people live a better life.In the same way, even if you support a puppet to come to power, I am afraid it is not a good way.After thinking about it, Owen felt that it would be safer to carve up the Popang Empire with other countries, which could solve the current problems without causing the fear of other countries."
Yes!
Your Majesty. ”The Minister of Foreign Affairs immediately responded, and then withdrew from his office."
Alas-" Making the decision to go to the Popon Empire, Owen couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly: "It's going to be a war again." ”To tell the truth, he doesn't like war, whether he wins or loses, it is the vast number of innocent civilians who suffer.Isn't it a contradiction that some people may say that if they love peace, why should they vigorously develop military weapons?
Regarding this, you have to understand that there is no sword and no sword is completely different.The development of military weapons is aimed at strengthening the armed forces in order to ensure the security of the country.The country's military strength is weak, and it is useless for you to say anything about peace-loving, and if a military power wants to fight you, it will fight you, and talk nonsense with you, and it is the truth to be hard with your fists.Therefore, there is no contradiction between the development of military weapons and peace-loving, the key lies in whether the ruler is belligerent or not, and it has nothing to do with military weapons, but people who use it.Besides, Owen can't help himself, trouble is always coming to his door one after another, and he has no choice but to fight.…… After the autumn harvest is completed, the third plenary session of Dawn City will be held.This time it was held a little later than last year, because the various departments of the city hall had to consolidate the reports sent from all over the country and report to Owen together.In the conference room of the town hall, senior officials from various departments gathered.As is customary, the Minister of Agriculture, Langfei Xiu, was the first to make a report.As Owen expected, the Morning Light Kingdom ushered in another bumper harvest year, and the country's total grain production reached a record high, reaching a height that everyone present did not dare to imagine.In some places, they did not expect this year's harvest to be so good, and the existing granaries could not be fitted, and the joy of urgently building new granaries was unprecedented before.In addition to the harvest, Lang Fei also reported on the status of the establishment of slime farms in various places.Thanks to the efforts of Rhone and his apprentices, everything is going well.Not surprisingly, next spring, they will be able to hand over the farming task to the locals and return to Dawn City, and even participate in next year's Spring Festival.After listening to Longfeld's report, Owen gave new instructions to adjust and optimize the cultivated area of different crops in various places.For example, some cotton can be planted appropriately on the newly restored land north of Fengsui City.Are there farmers who are worried that they won't be able to plant?
Then send officials from the Ministry of Agriculture to teach and pack the church.Worried that the cotton you grow will not sell, and there will be no or low income?
It doesn't matter, the city hall will not only subsidize it, but also buy it all, and the use of this cotton has long been planned.All in all, Owen's policy is to give farmers the confidence and courage to farm according to the needs of the country, without worrying about subsequent sales, and these are the responsibility of the city hall.Next is Education Minister Theresa.Due to the rapid development of Dawn City in recent years, all walks of life need to recruit people, especially advanced talents who can read and count.As a result, this year's graduates are in high demand, and even if they don't make it to the City Hall or the People's Army, they can easily find jobs elsewhere, and the employment rate is still 100 percent.Problems are not without them.For example, other city halls have also built and established schools, and are actively recruiting students.However, in some places, the propaganda work is not done well, and there are no students to recruit, and parents are willing to secretly send their children to work in factories to make money, rather than let them go to school to study, and feel that they are wasting time.In other places, there are insufficient teacher resources, and one teacher has to lead several classes, and he is simply not busy.Regarding the former, Owen instructed the local city hall to strengthen the supervision of factories, and imposed heavy fines on all those found to use child labor, so that factories did not dare to hire child labor.Another is to strengthen propaganda work, send people to those families who do not want their children to go to school, do ideological work for parents, and tell them that only by studying can they have a future.In the latter, this problem is not easy to handle.Owen plans to come up with a policy to encourage local teachers to go to places with relatively sufficient teacher resources, such as Dawn City, to encourage local teachers to go to places where there is a shortage of teachers to carry out volunteer teaching work, and the city hall will give corresponding subsidies, and the more remote the place, the higher the subsidy.It is hoped that this will attract some teachers to teach and alleviate the imbalance of educational resources.Of course, education is about the future of the country, and Owen said that he will continue to invest huge resources to support the development of education everywhere.It is important that every child goes to school, and that adults can also work night shifts, so as to increase the literacy rate throughout the country.
