The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 422
After Olaf was crowned “Grand Duke”, European countries once again sent envoys to congratulate and deliver credentials.
Olaf also improved his status after the coronation ceremony on April 20. He was legally fixed as the core leader of the Swedish Empire, and was also called the “Grand Duke of the Swedish Empire Godfather and Regent Prime Minister” in official documents. However, it is generally abbreviated as “Godfather Regent” in colloquial and folk names.
With the passage of time, many of Olaf’s memories began to blur. He almost forgot. In the same month of the same year, the Qing Dynasty, which had entered the customs and had its capital in Beijing, was also in full swing under the leadership of the helm Dorgon. Dashun was about to be pinched to death in Jiugong Mountain.
People in Europe don’t even know that the great godfather Olaf of Sweden, the largest empire in Northern Europe, was crowned the Grand Duke and became the “Godfather Regent”. When he was among the top grades, almost at the same time, he was the Prince of the Far Eastern Qing Dynasty. Dagon was also named from his uncle Regent to Emperor Regent, and became the prince above all princes. He could sleep in the dragon bed at night, accompanied by the empress dowager. Although he was not the emperor, he was almost indistinguishable from the emperor.
Although Olaf didn’t know that he was crowned “Godfather Regent” almost at the same time as Dorgon, but he still knows that like now the Qing Dynasty has entered the Central Plains, Dorgon’s most powerful family in the Qing Dynasty has become the most important person in all likelihood. Fulin’s step-father, Bumubutai’s pillow, so he sometimes unconsciously compares with Dorgon.
Olaf felt that apart from not sleeping with the queen mother, his status and title vaguely matched Dorgon’s, so he always snorted in his heart: No one knows the king’s uncle and the regent better than I…
With the lessons learned by Uxenschener, the political situation in Sweden is now clear. Almost Olaf can do whatever he says, so many things can be carried out effectively, but most of the job executors are still Swedes. Olaf was very upset, so he wrote many times urging Iceland and Vinland to send us the personnel quickly.
While Olaf was worried about Dorgon’s end in his round, he finally ushered in many of his helpers at the port in early May.
After Half recovered from his injury, Olaf was appointed as the Swedish Field Marshal and came to take office. The remaining young officers from Vinland and Iceland were also recalled and appointed middle-level officers in various fields, which strengthened Olaf’s control over Sweden. It’s more than one point or two.
Within a month or so, most of the staff placed by Olaf were familiar with the work, which made Olaf’s new life settled a lot. At this time, he was preparing to burn the first fire in Sweden as a godfather and regent.
to the home.
Before the emergence of industrial civilization, land was the foundation of the nation. Without arable land, there would be no food. Without food, everything is empty talk.
Because of the land annexation and military rewards in Sweden, before the Olaf coup, 80% of the country’s land was controlled by nobles, the royal family directly controlled 10%, and millions of free farmers shared 10% of the arable land, so 8% of Swedish farmers at this time Ten are tenants of large landlords. It’s just that because Sweden’s national strength is on the rise, some people join the regular army to ensure the income of many farmers. With tax cuts and protection policies, Swedish farmers have not embarked on the name of the uprising. No return.
However, the farmers in Sweden can never be called happy. It’s just that in this era of bad weather, Sweden has Tsarist Russia, Poland, Denmark, and Germany. There are either serfs or beaten matching teammates. Sweden Although the peasants are squeezed out of breath, they still feel very happy.
Just like why the Soviet Union collapsed suddenly, after decades of hard work for faith, when neighbors from different camps find that the quality of life of all of them is higher than their own, faith will inevitably not collapse.
Effort is to live, and constant effort is to live better, but when people find that constant effort is not as good as others who don’t work hard, how can they stick to their original intention?
A government that cannot give people hope, no matter how loud the slogan is, and no matter how tall the political idea is, it will not be worth bread and beer after all. After all, how can it be unrealistic for people to survive in the real world?
Olaf recalled the road to the rise of the great powers in the previous life, and the establishment of four self-confidence. He felt that there was an inevitable connection with economic growth. No food, bad, good or bad, let alone bad?
As a foreign country boy in the eyes of a Swede, he offended the Swedish nobles. Olaf was not only for taking power, but also for self-preservation. He could only step up his brain to think about how to really control Sweden, so that he might exist in the future. The coup d’état can also be preserved.
Thinking about going to Olaf, he can only cultivate the idea. Anyway, Hudik started very harshly. He cleared the Uksenchena party and adopted an expanded political cleansing, not only for Wenland and Greenland. With more than 30,000 coolies, more than 500,000 acres of land were vacated in Sweden. Olaf gave 100,000 points to the hero and the Swedish loyal minister, and gave 100,000 to Christina to increase her. The remaining 300,000 yuan of the royal estate was originally intended to be directly managed by the Privy Council, but now Olaf feels that it is best to distribute it to the vast number of self-cultivating farmers in Sweden.
So, under Olaf’s instruction, the Privy Council, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Agriculture, etc. soon came up with a plan for granting land, disbanding the original regular army and letting them go home to farm and allocate land, only to re-enroll those who do not have land. Free farmers fill the regular army, and those willing to serve as soldiers will be rewarded and allocated land. This is enough to train more than 20,000 new regular army loyal to Olaf, and the more than 10,000 soldiers who have returned to the village who have obtained land will hardly be agitated against. Olaf.
The 300,000 acres of land instantly made Olaf’s reputation in the civilian class turn from loss to victory after he was thrown down, and he became a benevolent godfather. Although Sweden is in power by aristocrats~www.mtlnovel.com~, it is occupied by farmers. At 70%, Olaf was able to win over the peasants, and he also wins over the peasant soldiers, which is regarded as a win back.
It was mid-May until the land distribution and recruitment of the regular army had been dealt with. Although most of the land was allocated, it was due to the Privy Council arranged for tenants to cultivate the land, so it would not be officially delivered until the autumn harvest.
The Empress Dowager Eleonora was taken back to live in the Three Crown Palace in early April. She suffered a blow from Uxen Siena, and she also knew Olaf’s skills. Elonora performed well this time. Not only did he speak with Olaf in a pleasant and polite manner, he did not show any interest in politics for more than a month, but his life became more extravagant.
Olaf knows that the Empress Dowager Eleonora is just an ordinary woman. Not every queen mother can become Lu Zhi or Cixi, and more are normal women who are a little clever but politically immature.
The Empress Dowager Eleonora belongs to such a woman. She is obviously not the material of being a politically strong woman. The performance of this return has proved that she has completely lost interest in rights, so as long as Olaf can guarantee her life and give enough With money, the queen mother wouldn’t do anything, and of course she didn’t dare to do it because she knew that she couldn’t do it.
The only queen dowager who is likely to get eye drops to make trouble is honestly settled. Olaf has really reached the nominal number of one person under 10,000 in Sweden, and in fact it has kept his promises.
