Chapter 754 Republic
Isabella was indeed full of energy. She started dealing with various affairs frantically as soon as she came out.
She worked all night for several days in a row, which made Xius sigh. She was the kind of person who could work overtime on her own initiative without any PUA from others.
Drawing power from the furnace didn't allow her to reach transcendence, but it did allow her physical fitness to far surpass that of ordinary people, and Her Majesty used it to work overtime.
Zeus has been very busy these days. Isabella is not only busy herself, but also occasionally asks him to join her. After all, there are many parts of Tis's expedition that require Castel's cooperation, and many things can only be finalized by Zeus.
So, Zeus, who had originally entered the leisure mode, has recently worked a lot of overtime and has dark circles under his eyes.
Although he does not have superhuman physical fitness, he has a symbiotic contract. When his body can't bear it, the banshees can replenish his vitality. In other words, Isabella indirectly dragged the banshees to work overtime together.
There are results, quite a lot.
Now Zeus finally understood where the prince's management skills came from. Being dragged into such high-intensity work by Isabella all day long, even if he was a pig, he would at least learn to work overtime.
Besides, the prince is not stupid, he is just straightforward.
After Isabella's busy days, she carried out drastic reforms on the entire Principality of Tis.
The previous bureaucratic system was not bad, it was just not suitable for dealing with the current situation.
To put it simply, the Principality of Tis has entered wartime mode.
Hughes played a significant role in this. He was very familiar with how an industrial entity copes with the test of war.
Part of it was learned from the history of Blue Star, and the other part was Castel's deep sea war.
Castel has truly experienced the baptism of war, and Hughes has extensive experience in both front-line fighting and organizing logistics.
And now, he shared this knowledge with Isabella in the discussion.
To be honest, Xius was also very interested in the political system of the Principality of Tis.
Hughes believed that the bureaucratic system built by Isabella was closer to a republic - but not a classical republican system. She was very skilled in the use of checks and balances.
Moreover, although Isabella held the highest power in the country, she was actually constantly distributing this power.
She didn't even leave herself much of a way out. Almost all power organs were elected by voting. Although the right to vote was not extended to all citizens, it was essentially close to a parliamentary republic.
In fact, Castel is closer to a dictatorship in terms of system. The power that Hughes has taken over has not been truly distributed. If he is gone one day, Castel will inevitably have to go through a period of internal struggle and amend the bill before it can return to stability.
Isabella is different. She has not been in Blood Harbor these days, but her entire bureaucracy is running in an orderly manner. This made Hughes think about it. It seems that he should also reform Castel's system.
He is not so keen on building a political system, but is more attracted to developing technology.
The two have different focuses and their systems are diametrically opposed, but the final results are quite similar.
The reason is that Isabella has too much control over her bureaucrats.
Theoretically, according to this system, the parliament - that is, her cabinet should be able to check and balance her, but now she is the only voice in the Principality of Tis.
There's no complicated reason, it's simply because her approval rating is too high.
Most of the people in the entire bureaucracy are her fanatical supporters. This is certainly due to the purge when she just returned to Blood Harbor, but after changing her body, those who supported the prince basically switched to supporting her seamlessly, which shows her political level.
Almost all of these bureaucrats were promoted by her from the civilian population. They had all received education in Blood Harbor and were extremely loyal to her.
This also allowed all her reforms to be implemented smoothly without much disturbance.
The entire Principality of Tis was slowly turning under the decrees she issued. The former queen activated the war machine as soon as she came into the world, as if she had just put on the crown.
There has been some unrest in the refugee camp near Blood Harbor recently.
It was not just the believers of the secret order who came here every day. Soldiers holding notices passed through the shanty towns and walked into the alleys, informing everyone of Isabella's conscription order in the name of Grand Duke Tis.
There were many people complaining - they were Tis people, and the Tis nobles didn't think of them when they couldn't afford to eat, but now they were asking them to fight in the battlefield when a war was about to break out. How could they be loyal?
But soon, they became loyal.
There's no particular reason. Isabella's price is too high.
Money can only buy temporary loyalty - but constant money can buy it forever.
Isabella was not stingy at all. She offered the soldiers an alarmingly high price, enough for them to risk their lives.
As for where she would raise this huge amount of money
Zeus collected a lot of information through various channels. It seems that the queen is sharpening her knife again.
This generous commission not only impressed the refugees outside Blood Harbor, but even many workers were tempted.
Isabella offered a higher reward for knowledge. The only way for the factory on Hughes' side to move up was to go to the research institute, and many people were not that interested in research.
The appeal of expanding territory and earning military merit is very great.
In schools, factories, and Blood Harbor, a reverse flow of talent appeared for the first time. Tis began to siphon talent from Blood Harbor instead of the other way around.
Zeus did not stop it, and even sent a number of people to observe and learn.
The brain drain is only temporary. As long as Blood Harbor and Castel keep moving forward and maintain their academic standards higher than other places, there will never be a shortage of talent.
The pursuit of knowledge is the nature of scholars, and this is actually how the fire moth got its name.
Isabella also took this opportunity to expand the industry of Blood Harbor to the entire Principality of Tis. Before that, she had already built a relatively simple but basically complete industrial system around Blood Harbor.
Now, this industrial system is slowly covering the entire Principality of Tis and even the eastern side of the continent.
Although it is only a very basic industrial system that can only take over some of the production capacity eliminated by Blood Harbor and Castel, it is the first step in industrialization.
As long as you start moving forward, everything will get faster and faster.
As the entire eastern side of the continent gradually began to move, some changes began to take place within the empire.
The Holy See began to issue some strange decrees, and there were some subtle changes in the interpretation of doctrine.
And one day, a letter from the empire was placed on Hughes's desk.
