Chapter 327 325: New Year and Meeting (Subscribe)
When time entered December of the 313th year of the New Divine Calendar, it also meant that this year had officially come to an end.
At this time, it is naturally unrealistic to continue to implement any reform plans. The most important thing is to spend this year peacefully and steadily.
So, we can’t make any more trouble, but there are still a lot of things to do!
For example, the most important point is the year-end summary.
The Magic Energy Machinery has been implemented for a year now, with impressive results and no major disruptions. It can be said that all plans are progressing steadily.
And made a ton of money!
If you make money, you have to distribute it. This is the first year, and Luo Yi must make the dividend distribution solid.
The various divisions under the Raymond Magic Energy Group, the specific profits of each division, and even the shares of each small shareholder, and how much each company can get...
Naturally, the actual distribution of the money will not be done until after the New Year, in January, but now we have to sort out all the accounts.
Moreover, these accounts are not only for him to see, but also for all shareholders to see. Every detail of income and expenditure must be able to withstand verification and inspection!
This is a big project!
If it weren't for professional accountants like Mira, and Deep Blue in his mind, Roy felt that it would not be possible to complete it in a short time.
It is worth mentioning that in order to distribute dividends to everyone, there must be a real Jintiel.
All the transactions between Loy and the Habsburg Empire went through the Seven Gods Bank. Usually, they were just account transactions, and no real Jintir was used for delivery.
Simply put, what is added is a series of numbers on the bank card.
Therefore, Luo Yi had to withdraw a huge fortune of hundreds of thousands from the Seven Gods Bank, and transportation alone was a big hassle.
It's a very simple logic. What is being transported this time is not goods, but real money.
Not to mention outsiders, who wouldn’t be moved by anyone who has been involved in it or knows about it?
Fortunately, for big customers like Loy, there is a door-to-door delivery clause in the contract signed with Seven Gods Bank.
In other words, Luo Yi requested that in addition to paying a certain amount of compensation, the Seven Gods Bank would have to send the money to Xianhua for collection.
Rumor has it that for this trip, the top leaders of the Church of the Seven Gods met together and eventually organized a luxurious team.
Three hundred temple guards, twenty third-level extraordinary knights, twenty temple priests, and five fourth-level scourges.
As for whether there are any legendary strongmen?
Only God knows!
In addition, there were even two ironclad ships of the Empire accompanying them along the way!
But even so, many "supernatural" events occurred along the way.
What about the fog that fell from the sky and the people lost at sea? What about the mass curse that made people unconscious? What about the shadow that attacked and the shadow beast that ran rampant?
These are not stories, but real things that happened. It’s just that they came quickly and were resolved even faster!
The Seven Gods Bank is fine, but the Seven Gods Church behind them is no pushover. It is a powerful force that can compete with the Church of the Sun God and win more than it loses.
In short, in the end, this wealth was safely received by the flowers.
One by one, the wooden boxes were unloaded from the boat and loaded onto the carriage, like a long dragon, and finally arrived at the Lion Manor, where they were counted and received by Luo Yi himself.
This matter caused quite a stir and many people knew about it. The disadvantages were obvious. When wealth is exposed, it will always be coveted.
Anyway, for a period of time afterwards, Oliveira and the other three natural disasters seemed to be quite busy.
A lot of thieves and assassins, big and small, were caught.
Of course, the benefits are also obvious!
Anyway, when the knights in the military camp learned that such a huge dividend had arrived, they were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Outsiders would just be jealous if they knew about it, but they would actually have the money in their hands in a while, so how could they not be excited?
The result of excitement is that they train more seriously, meditate more diligently, and patrol more actively.
Many knights actually went to the Lion Manor to serve as guards on their own initiative. They were not guarding Loy, but their own Jintier.
Even the knight who hated studying the most and was most resistant to it felt familiar when he looked at the words and magic patterns on the blackboard.
This is the charm of wealth!
Moreover, because it was the end of the year, even the vassals and knights from all over the country had returned to report on their duties, and the number of nobles gathering in Flower Territory was increasing!
Luo Yi originally didn't want to do anything, but seeing that these people seemed to be full of energy and had nowhere to use it, he only thought for three seconds and immediately made a decision.
He wants to hold a meeting for these people!
There is a saying: Holding meetings every day may not necessarily solve problems; but not holding meetings will definitely not solve problems.
There is some truth in this. If you want to accomplish something and want your followers to support you, the best way is to tell them why you want to do it.
What are the benefits of doing it?
And what should be done? What goals need to be achieved?
As long as ideological work is done well, the resistance to reform can be minimized, the subjective initiative of the people can be brought into play, and development can move in a good direction.
As for the specific content of the meeting, Luo Yi gave a short description: Looking forward to the future.
That is, what changes will the magic industry bring, and what the future of Flower Territory will look like in his plan!
And in order to achieve this goal, what efforts do they need to make!
For example, universal education.
Starting from next year, Luo Yi plans to achieve universal education at the "town" level as much as possible and improve the quality of the people in the territory as much as possible.
High-quality talents are the foundation of industrial development and the source of manpower for military expansion and war preparation. Without talents, everything is in vain.
Therefore, this has always been Luo Yi’s top priority.
Secondly, the current magic industry in Xianhua Territory is basically "state-owned".
That is to say, everything is in the hands of Luo Yi. Although it can be said that it is a way to concentrate resources to accomplish great things, it also stifles the intervention of private capital and more possibilities.
Therefore, next year, Loyi will encourage these wealthy vassals and knights to start their own businesses.
Raymond Magic Energy Group is naturally not competitive in the main industries they are involved in, but if they target the spare parts needed by the factory and use them to build their own factories, it would be a good idea.
Of course, you have to find the place yourself, recruit the talents yourself, and come up with the technology yourself...
But as long as the road is opened up and it becomes a supporting industrial chain for the subsidiaries of Raymond Magic Energy Group, it will be profitable!
However, when it comes to starting a business, there will naturally be successes and failures. After the test of time, those who remain have made their own way.
Even if it fails, we can still train a group of qualified technical workers.
Of course, it is not enough to just develop the economy. Having money but no matching military force is, in the final analysis, just a dish in front of others.
The re-education of the Knights of the Lion was clearly successful, but they alone were certainly not enough.
Therefore, Luo Yi plans to form the first professional legion in Xianhua Territory next year.
Unlike the model of farming in leisure time and gathering in wartime, this legion is a full-time professional legion supported by the Flower Leader.
Luo Yi positioned them as beginners of basic meditation, with excellent physical fitness, no productive work, only training and honing war skills, and born purely for war.
In fact, he now understands that the reason why the chivalry system developed in the Old World was, after all, due to low productivity.
The output of a village can only support the food, drink and training of a formal knight.
But what would happen if a large number of knights gathered together without corresponding food supply?
All starved to death?
Or turn into a bandit, smashing, looting and burning?
The probability is the latter. After all, in the face of life and death, all the glory of knights is false!
It can be said that it was not the times that chose the chivalry system, but the low productivity that determined that the emergence of large-scale off-duty warriors was impossible.
Last year, Loyi fought many battles and enjoyed great prestige, but he did not dare to talk about military reform or think about establishing a professional corps.
There is only one reason: he has no money!
Yes, there is still a lot of gold in the underground treasure, but it is fixed and quantified!
To support the construction and training of a war legion, what is needed is continuous wealth income, just like living water, which is inexhaustible and can be used endlessly.
From this perspective, the economy is the foundation of the military.
Apart from that, there is this shitty political system, which can only be described as crude, almost non-existent.
If Roy wants to take a big step into capitalist society, this loose management system will definitely not work.
He had to formulate a relatively complete political system and ensure that every order he issued reached the village level.
Then, there are people who can carry it out completely.
By then, tax farmers and slave owners will all go to hell!
Especially those tax farmers. The farmers work so hard to cultivate the land, and I, the king of lions, only get a small portion of the profits. How dare you make a fortune from it?
I've wanted to deal with them for a long time.
Therefore, more elite civil servants must be selected and trained. The most important thing is to set a historical precedent and establish various rules.
Of course, we can't rush this matter, we have to take it slow.
Well, when Luo Yi explained the above content at the meeting, it caused an uproar.
Because, if you think about it carefully, it is not just one or two rights that are violated, but the existing system is completely subverted.
However, Luo Yi also had them under his control. Whenever the situation became difficult to control, he would announce a wave of this year's various profits.
Then, this group of vassals and knights calculated the wealth they could get and silently suppressed their anger.
When they could no longer suppress it, they would announce some more information, and this cycle would repeat itself, which really made these vassals and nobles feel very anxious and conflicted.
If this year is a good start, then next year will be the most critical year, which may set the tone for development in the next ten to twenty years.
Otherwise, Loyi would not have held meetings again and again to explain things in detail to these vassals and knights.
Of course, meetings are meetings and explanations are explanations, but there are still many things that are being advanced step by step.
For example, Christmas is coming, and although the harvest festival has just passed, this festival still needs to be celebrated with great fanfare.
Butler Hoover has to work hard again!
For example, after Christmas comes Grace Day, and Roy has some psychological trauma about Grace Day.
Therefore, he raised the alert level with all his heart and asked all knights to prepare for battle!
During the holidays, we can have fun and have fun, but we also have to stay vigilant.
Luo Yi wanted to see which blind person would come to cause trouble again this year?
In addition, the practice of the secret sacred skill [Golden Bone] has also gradually been put on the right track.
Second update, here it is!
