The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 445
In the Swedish imperial system, Ulav is only the actual controller of the central and northern Norway, and his power status is not large, but his personal identity is Olaf’s eldest brother, even if Hadar did not openly act in Iceland fourteen years ago. General Viking Leidang said that Iceland and Vinland were handed over to Olaf to inherit. According to the tradition of Christianity in Europe, Olaf had the right to inherit as the eldest son.
Therefore, because of Ulav’s special identity and the past, even Olaf respected his elder brother Ulav, let alone others.
Now that Ulav has stood up to support Olaf, other people have no idea whether they have an idea or not.
Therefore, the implementation of Nordic Raidan within the Great Swedish Empire became the core work in the second half of 1650. Since the concept of Vikings had matured, Olaf, as the Grand Duke of Sweden’s godfather regent, issued “Vikings in northern Europe”. After the edict of “Leading Life under the leadership of Leidang”, there was a vigorous movement to join the Nordic Leidang activities in various places.
Because of the large population in various places, there are also five Nordic thunderbolts planned by Olaf, which are about red, yellow, green, blue, white and black. The yellow thunderbolts and red are basically Swedes, and the white thunderbolts are Finns and Livoni. Asia is dominated by various races, green and blue thunders are dominated by Danes and Pomeranian duchies, and black thunders are dominated by Germans on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea.
Because the Nordic Thunder is a semi-mandatory and semi-free implementation, the people at the bottom naturally joined the Nordic Thunder and became true Vikings, while most of the nobles at the top of the country were hesitant.
Olaf didn’t insist, and looked at the statistics of the five-color Leidang before the winter, and saw that the population of each Leidang exceeded one million, so he smiled: “Noble rich businessmen will always be in the minority, we Nordic Leidang now have five One million people, are there 200,000 stubborn nobles? As long as I promote a few civilian Nordic Vikings to become officials, tell me, how many of these five million people will listen to the nobles If so? Even if they are serfs who farm the land for the nobles, they will not be willing to let their children and grandchildren be slaves for the rest of their lives, right?”
After Olaf finished speaking, he laughed, and the staff in the Grand Duke’s Mansion also laughed.
Hundreds of years later, in the late period of the second industrial revolution in Europe, Marx, the revolutionary mentor of the proletariat, excerpted these words of Olaf in one of his expositions and conducted a detailed analysis.
“Although Olaf’s remarks still stand in the position of a noble feudal lord in order to maintain his own rule, he has seen through the essence of feudal capitalism under the historical conditions at that time, that is, to establish the existence of classes , to maintain the strict hierarchies of the class and ensure the dominance of the class, also because he understood that as a foreigner and a foreigner, if you want to rule the huge northern Europe, you must mobilize the people, so he invented the three major thunders, this thunder is inside The promotion and progress of the company involves all the Nordic people, and it is considered that the Nordic people can see the possibility of breaking the class shackles imprisoned on their bodies, so they offer their loyalty.
Olaf took the right to break the class in his own hands, and used the desire of the vast number of farmers and craftsmen to break the class, so that he could completely control Northern Europe and North America as an Icelandic backward aristocrat, and build a huge feudal era. Empire, and even affects the development of the world…”
…
In the spring of 1651, after Olaf had stabilized in Northern Europe, he handed over the “List of Rural Sages” sent from various regions to the Ministry of Naturalization for information investigation. A month later, the Ekuku resubmitted the list that had been cut in half. to Olaf.
“Master, some of these people are servants of local officials, some are distant relatives of local nobles, and many of them are not skilled, and they don’t even know a word. Now the rest of the list are people who are barely able to use it.”
Olaf looked at the list and said to Etku: “You haven’t understood what I mean, I asked you to investigate, but I didn’t really want to investigate officials.”
“What does the master mean?” Etku asked with a frown.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have culture or literacy. It’s better if you don’t have any skills. As long as you are not the relatives and confidants of noble officials who are unwilling to join Nordic Thunder, you can pass the test.”
“But Master, what’s the use of these people for official status? Didn’t they get the resource benefits of our Vinland Vikings for nothing?”
Olaf snorted coldly and said, “You just don’t have enough air. Your whole life is meant to be a slave!”
Etuku was scolded, but instead he smiled and asked: “The slave is stupid, please explain my confusion, master.”
Getting up from the sofa, Olaf said: “You said, if you don’t have any ability, you can’t be much better than others, and you can be an official, divide land, and become a Viking in Wenland, a Viking everywhere. What would people think? What would their emotions be? If you were you, what would you think?”
Ertutu frowned and thought for a while, then hesitantly said: “If someone who is not much stronger than me can become an official and be promoted by the godfather regent to the master of Wenlan Viking, then I am not convinced anyway, and I have to find a way. Be a master of the Vinland Vikings.”
“Yes!”
Olaf laughed and said, “You know, this is the effect I want.”
“The imperial examinations that echo our actual situation will be implemented next year. Whoever’s farmland is highly productive will be awarded the title of the agronomy officer who is best at farming, whether it is farming or doing business. Ship’s, shoemaker, hunter…
No matter how high or low the occupation is, those with outstanding skills can be considered a reason. To raise one’s status, we in Wenlan still have a lot of undeveloped land, so what are we afraid of? ”
After listening to Olaf’s very arrogant words, Kuku was still confused for a moment, then slapped his forehead and said
^0^ With a sudden realization, he said: “Oh, it turns out that Master, you deliberately wanted to give these people a membership, and yes, if they do, everyone else will see hope, next time you, the Nordic Thunder What can the commander-in-chief say again, who of them doesn’t have to obey orders?”
Olaf laughed, and then asked, “How are the five Nordic generals?”
“Needless to say, Heine is diligent and diligent, Tom was appointed as the general of the blue thunderbolt by you as soon as he came back, is he still confused now?
Ulav is your brother, and the general of the Green Thunder is also a nameless general, and the rest are the same. Anyway, each of our Nordic Thunders has millions of people, but just asking for a name to catch people’s hearts, the real management is still as usual. In the same way, relying on the local government, isn’t it still the words of your generals who are not generals? ”
Olaf laughed and said, “You’re right, Viking Leidang and Wenlan Leidang’s generals, district chiefs, rudder heads, etc. can be considered strict at every level~www.mtlnovel.com~ Because there are few people, the society is very strict. The development is backward, and it is convenient to manage, but the Nordic Thunder is just an empty shelf, and I really don’t plan to let it play any role. It’s just a clear Viking group and something that belongs to people’s hearts, so it’s good.”
As soon as he was happy, Olaf said a few more words, but inside and outside the words he had already revealed what he thought about the emperor’s mind. Etku naturally didn’t dare to interrupt, but just stood by and didn’t say a word, as if there was no such thing at all. hear.
After talking for a while, Olaf asked: “I haven’t seen Tom for a few years, and I miss him a little. Now that he’s back, it’s just a matter of letting him talk about the situation in the Far East himself, and the three-month letter is still there. It’s not real, you send someone to ask Tom when he can come to see me, and I’ll treat him to pickled puffins and pickled shark meat.”
When it comes to the traditional food of the Inuit and the traditional food of Iceland, Etuku, who has not eaten for many years, can’t help but miss it.
He hurriedly agreed and walked out quickly, thinking as he walked: Pikku and the others send tributes to the master every year, why don’t they just want to send more pickled puffins? Now the master wants to treat Tom-sama to eat pickled puffins and pickled shark meat, so I can follow along, hehehe…
Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
