Pirate Kingship

Chapter 539 Industrial Nation, the Wrath of Nature

It was early the next morning, before dawn.

Byron had not yet enjoyed the benefits of revealing the three-stage honorific name to his first beloved, but he experienced the side effects first.

"The corrector of history who changes the latitude and longitude of the times, the origin of all changes, the ultimate unifier of all things, His Majesty St. Byron.

Thank you for giving me sunshine, rain, dew and food.

Today I will accompany the Kalmar Union army to counterattack the Electorate of the Palatinate, and I ask for your blessing."

By reconciling divinity and animality, he practiced "All Things Unify" with his two sisters all night long, and Byron, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly woke up.

Hearing intermittent prayers ringing in his ears, he discovered that a believer was praying to him in the morning.

Morning prayer is usually held early in the morning. Believers start a new day through prayer, Bible reading, singing, etc., and express gratitude and worship to God.

Believers can use morning prayer to express gratitude to God, seek guidance, and pray for blessings and protection for the new day.

This is also the unshakable living habit of many devout believers and clergy.

Byron was stunned for a moment before he realized that although he had blocked the huge group of believers of the [Holy Spirit] himself, he had not blocked the favored ones who knew his honorable name.

In fact, it is impossible for the Beloved to block it in the first place. If they cannot be contacted at the critical moment, it is better not to disclose the three-part honorary name.

Byron did not ask Lockhart to report the Queen of Night's military situation from time to time. He only asked Lockhart to pray silently in the morning after getting up in the morning according to his usual habit.

By the way, the object of prayer was changed from the "bound Creator" in the past to Byron, the "Holy Spirit" and the "One who unites all things" in the future.

On the other hand, he has very smoothly assumed the role of the hardcore "Princeling", uniting with the "Future Buddha" at all times, and creating a strong sense of presence.

Completely unaware that what he worshiped devoutly was not the true Holy Spirit, but a liar ancestor.

Logically speaking, the Holy Silver Empire is too far away from the Kingdom of Hetings, and Byron, who is only in the fifth-level pseudo-god realm, should not be able to receive the other party's prayers.

But the [Ten Thousand-Winged Angel] differentiated from the Creator is of high enough status to help him respond to the call within a continent.

This is because he has no believers in the Eastern Continent across the sea. If there are, they might be able to hear it.

There won't be any unexpected situation like father-in-law [Whale Hunter] Jack Harold's signal loss and unknown life or death.

Fortunately, Byron's rest time has been greatly shortened since he awakened to "flow". After being promoted to a mythical creature, it is no problem to go without rest for a few days and nights. After becoming a god, sleep is no longer even a necessity.

Otherwise, Mr. Lockhart will become the first favored person to be beaten to death by divine punishment because of being angry with the "god", and he will be on the list of weird ways to die.

Byron knew that this was the price he had to pay for pretending to be the Holy Spirit, so he could only temporarily suppress his anger and reply with a voice as smooth as the [Ten Thousand Wings Angel] Gujing:

"knew."

But because of this, he lost all sleep.

Wait for the other person to respectfully finish the morning prayer with "Praise to St. Byron" as the conclusion.

Byron was about to get up when he unexpectedly discovered that the digestion progress of the [Secret Box of Winter] that he had been soaking in the water of the [River Styx] suddenly increased a lot.

Since [River Styx] can even digest the divinity of gods, it can be used to benefit its master.

When Byron got the relevant treasure, the first thing he thought of was to eat it and turn it into a part of his own strength.

Anyway, there is no such thing as biting off more than one can chew in this world's power system.

After setting foot in the divine realm, the gods pursue the unity of body, mind, and spirit internally, and pursue "the unity of all things" externally. The ultimate goal is to replace the will of the world and become the world itself.

In this process, using the immortal ladder anchored by oneself as the fulcrum, the more authority can be collected, the better. It can be authority from the same path or from a different path.

What is needed is "omniscient and omnipotent" to a certain extent, even "omnipotent".

Just like the former Queen of the Bay people had twelve powers and twelve incarnations of divinity.

It's a pity that the immortal ladder of many gods is too narrow, and it is destined from the beginning that it cannot carry 100%, or even 50% or 10% of the unity of all things.

If the legendary good-for-nothing "Miscellaneous Spiritual Root" comes to this world, he might be the true pride of heaven!

Of course, the premise of all this is that the ladder of immortality and control are strong enough, otherwise the [Creator], which has been famous for more than a thousand years, will inevitably crack, is a lesson learned from the past.

"I've checked this box a long time ago, and it's not as awesome as the myths and legends say.

Especially after experiencing the God War, it was severely damaged, and the remaining power was only at the fifth level, which is just right for me.

After completely digesting the Secret Box of Winter, maybe I can differentiate into a fifth-level incarnation. "

However, the divinity that was first digested by the river water at this time was not the core power of the frost giant: [Frost] and [Winter], but [Fraud]!

Obviously Byron's daily performance is very consistent with this power, and certain conditions are vaguely met, which greatly speeds up the digestion speed.

Although Byron did not know the identity of the heart in the box during his lifetime.

But he knew that he should soon be able to complete the power of [Deception] and take over the crown of "King of Deceivers" from the church.

At this time, Catherine and Violet, who were lying next to him, were also awakened by the sound of prayers and opened their eyes with a cry.

"Good morning, Byron, Catherine."

"Good morning, Byron, Violet."

Apparently they slept together again last night.

But the postures of the three of them were a little strange.

Byron was obviously lying on his side in the middle, but he held the two queens on his left and right in his arms at the same time. It was like space was distorted, making him feel dizzy just by looking at them.

It seems to have partially unfolded the mythical form of its own [Ouroboros], with two sides in one body, one on the left and one on the right, both above and below.

It's the same principle as when the large fleet fired artillery from both sides at the same time, but the shells could be fired along one side.

He treated both Catherine and Violet equally, without neglecting any of them.

If you observe carefully, Byron at this time is like the middle line of the "yin and yang fish" symbol. He is always reconciling divinity and animality, anchor and sail, the ladder of glory and the original bloodline, allowing his "steering skills" "Progress by leaps and bounds.

Although it has not been long since he became a god, it is not far away from the time when 1% of all things are unified and he actively pulls people on board from the "Pantheon" with the help of the Ten Thousand-Winged Angels.

At the same time, he gave the two queens a good morning kiss. The sisters' lips were red and pink, but they were equally sweet, which made Byron unable to stop.

Seeing that it was still early, they kissed and started to move again.

Moreover, they are well versed in the essence of the superposition state of the [Golden Deer]. The two queens do not move when they are observing, and move when they are not observing.

Catherine, the sister, was even more majestic. She lightly bit Byron's lip and said angrily:

"Don't make trouble. It used to be one, three, five, two, four, six, Sunday together, but now it's become every day. It's not enough.

Today I will also chair a meeting of the Kingdom's Ministry of Finance. I have just received so much land and am preparing to organize people to re-inventory the Kingdom's wealth.

Excluding the income from recent mergers and acquisitions of banks and financial institutions, pastures and cultivated land are settled solely on the basis of means of production.

Once the 20% of the land occupied by the church and the 20% of the land belonging to the landed aristocrats are collected, my promotion ceremony should be almost complete. It will take another month or two at most. "

Although Violet is the eldest sister in the family, she is a little witch at heart, and she always escapes.

He stretched out his small hand and gently pinched Catherine's smooth buttocks through Byron. When she tried to fight back, she immediately retracted into Byron's generous arms, spit out her pink tongue and said teasingly:

"Look, you're in a hurry.

The speed of land collection depends on [Weird Sheep Eating Man], the Stormcloaks, the Star Chamber Court and the Royal Tax Inspection Bureau. You can just wait at Ganquan Palace to read the report.

What we are doing now is business. "

He raised his head again and blinked at Byron, connected with his breath, and exhaled solemnly:

“The orthodox liar’s favored one suddenly reminded me.

Believers make wishes to gods every day, but since you became a god, none of us have made a wish yet.

I will help Catherine make her most desired wish today.

The historical corrector who changes the latitude and longitude of the times, the origin of all changes, and the ultimate unifier of all things, the great His Majesty Saint Byron, please give her a child.

Cack.”

At first, he chanted the honorary name solemnly, but soon burst into laughter.

He didn't forget to turn around under the quilt and twist his round buttocks towards Byron.

It was said that he was making a wish for Catherine, but in fact he clearly asked for "one for each person", otherwise he would think that we couldn't afford to give birth.

There is absolutely no respect for God.

What do you think of gods? Is it used as a seeder?

Byron pretended to be angry and dragged them all back into bed:

"Okay, how dare you blaspheme God? Let's see how I deal with you."

Then bestow divine punishment: the scourge of love.

But all she got was a burst of cute laughter: "Giggle."

To be honest, if realistic conditions permit, which monarch can't like "the spring night is short and the sun is rising, and the king will not go to court early from now on"?

But for most monarchs, there is really no way to take both. They can only choose between a controlled country and a beautiful woman.

When Edward IV was obsessed with the beauty of the most beautiful woman, he had to delegate power to Richard, the [Devil Duke], causing the royal power to fall apart, giving him the opportunity to launch a backstab.

However, except for those real sages, when ordinary people suddenly ascend to high positions, most situations should change from "I fight for you" to "You are the real heroes" to "I don't eat beef."

Otherwise, what use do I have for the iron rod and the crown?

For Byron, this problem does not exist.

"I'll give you half a day off today. I'll take over the morning work for you."

As he spoke, a red shadow flashed on Byron's body, and suddenly split open, splitting into one, two, and thirty-seven incarnations, turning into streams of light and rushing out of the bedroom.

Tap tap tap.

After landing, they transformed into seven Byrons, each wearing different clothes.

One is the uniform of the Navy Marshal; today he is going to reorganize the Strait Fleet, adjust the personnel of each squadron, and then arrange for them to take turns to garrison in various territorial waters.

The Strait Fleet will also be reorganized into a "Deep Sea Fleet" to mainly defend the sea of ​​monsters.

Salant said that once a beast wave starts, it almost never stops, and the next wave of beasts will definitely come within a week to half a month.

Even with two fragments of Neptune's Trident protecting him, Byron didn't dare to take it lightly.

One is the uniform of a field marshal; he is going to receive the private army that the nobles promised to allocate yesterday to prepare for the establishment of a royal army.

Byron started to save this family fortune from a pirate ship. He knew best who would pay soldiers. In the early stages of army building, he must not take advantage of others.

As the eternal king of the kingdom, he must also become the father of the Royal Army.

One is wearing a black tie and a golden mask; he goes to the financial street as Mr. Wednesday to increase shipments, so that the church and the Kingdom of Castile have no time to interfere with his farming.

One is dressed as a pirate king; after a week, he led a pirate fleet with many captains who have obtained noble titles to return to Black Sail Port.

The noble status is reserved for the family and descendants. Except for a few lucky ones who have the opportunity to be promoted to the fourth level and realize the job transfer, these [pirates] of the lighthouse sequence are destined to continue to drift on the sea.

While they are the first to end the civil war, it is the right thing to swallow the interests of the colonies.

One is a bronze-skinned indigenous emperor; he needs to return to the Holy Golden Empire of Yucatan Island to preside over the overall situation and calm people's hearts.

Another one wears a normal crown dress to preside over the Ministry of Finance meeting for Catherine; the last one goes to inspect the textile factory that has begun to be laid out in the kingdom.

After Byron became a fifth-level god and his soul anchored the immortal ladder, the number of incarnations that can be differentiated increased greatly.

No longer limited to the [Wild Hunt] and [Sea Hunter] who could only play double acts at the beginning, it can be said that he has the ability to split himself.

It just so happens that "seven" is the most magical number, and it is also the number that symbolizes the "change" in "every seven must change".

And the spirituality of a person is divided into seven parts from the outside to the inside: etheric body, emotional body, mental body, astral body, etheric template, subtle body, and spiritual body.

It is just right to be divided into seven incarnations. Each of them has the strength of an ordinary fourth-level, and can borrow the power of the original body at a critical moment.

The most important thing is that the incarnation is essentially a part of him, just like his hands and feet. It's just that one is distracted and uses one more circle and one more square. There will be no second consciousness, and there is no possibility of betrayal in principle.

With these seven incarnations, Byron is equivalent to a mature [time management master]. Even if it is multi-threaded operation, it will not cause confusion at all.

Not to mention anything else, even if you just go to work on the assembly line of a textile factory, you can get six more salaries than others.

Otherwise, why do people say that the extraordinary world is the first productive force?

By the way, the matter of answering prayers was also handed over to the incarnation that did not need to rest, which was the best of both worlds.

The emperors and monarchs in history who were famous for their diligence were simply weak compared to a monster like him who could split into eight and work day and night.

"Your Majesty, someone asked for help from you, and the person has been brought to you."

The incarnation of the Admiral had just arrived at the northern naval port when he received a request for an audience from the nobles of the Kalmar Union from the cruiser of the Strait Fleet.

At the dock, he met the Earl of Hordaland who secretly disobeyed the order of the [Queen of Eternal Night] and not only did not destroy the "coelenteritis" infected person, but secretly ran out to ask for help from him.

Although Byron had been waiting for the active surrenderer through this opportunity, he did not expect the speed to be so fast. It was obviously premeditated, and this time it happened to be the right time.

Especially when he saw the expression on the young earl's face, his excitement was mixed with sincere admiration.

He immediately realized that he might have underestimated his weight in the eyes of some people in the Kalmar Union.

After jumping off the boat, the other party did not forget to excitedly say to the entourage:

"Look, I recognized it at a glance. His Majesty the King of the Wild Hunt is exactly the same as the statue on my back.

It's just like they were printed from the same mold, so awesome!"

At first, Byron thought that this man had already started to tattoo his own statue, which was really too polite, and he was going to play a trick of buying a horse's bones with a lot of money.

But a [God's Vision] swept over and saw the so-called statue, uh

Pah!

The two fists couldn't help but clench and explode.

When Count Hordalan heard the noise, he showed a silly smile on his face, and couldn't suppress his excitement and kept waving his hands, with clear stupidity in his eyes.

He didn't realize that a completely untalented Bay barbarian like him would have serious consequences if he accidentally flattered Ma Huanxi by learning from others.

He ran to Byron and saluted respectfully. After making his request, he asked Byron without knowing whether to live or die:

"Your Majesty, King of the Wild Hunt, are you unhappy about anything? I can help you with your worries."

Byron gritted his teeth and forced a smile:

"No, I just found that the Earl seemed to have also had the 'coelenteropathy' with the same origin of the anus and mouth.

Let me treat you first."

The Earl was immediately panicked:

"No, right?"

But Byron said very seriously:

"No, you have! I am the father of medicine. If I say you have, you must have it!"

Then, the Earl fell ill on the spot and experienced what it means to have a mouth but no anus.

I think he will be able to change his bad habit of speaking without restraint in the future and become a real nobleman, right? It's really a cause for celebration.

Other matters only need to be carried out step by step, and there will be no problem. What Byron cares about most is the local industrialization.

Because strengthening strength is divided into two parts: personal strength and national strength.

The value of a crown is closely related to national strength and people's will.

The most important principle is: the higher the surplus labor time and surplus value, the higher the faith and will concentrated on the product, the stronger the national strength and the crown!

An industrial country is obviously much stronger than an agricultural country, both in terms of material and mystical level.

They urgently need to transform the Kingdom of Hattings from a backward agricultural and pastoral country into a powerful industrial country.

Then, using the entire known world as a source of raw materials and a dumping ground for goods, they rapidly strengthened their own strength to cope with the imminent crisis.

This matter started on the second day of the throne war. In just over a week, the first factory in Kingston, the capital, began trial production.

"Your Majesty, this wool textile factory is a model factory of the Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trade Company, named "Kingston First Wool Textile Factory" by Queen Violet.

Because of the tight time, the scale is not very large, and the designed annual output is 5,000 tons.

But the second and third factories will soon catch up.

Business nobles and merchants from all over the country have submitted hundreds of applications for visits, and there will definitely be more applications for technology investment and joint factory establishment in the future."

The factory director led Byron to visit the workshop and reported on his work achievements.

Unlike the cotton textile in Stromgarde, they made targeted adjustments to the machines according to different raw material sites.

These two major production bases, one is a cotton producing area and the other is a wool producing area, so the industrial structure must also be adjusted.

Modern people know that only selling raw materials does not make money, which is a business that only the low end of the industrial chain and economic colonies can do.

Fine processing and high added value are what they pursue.

If they take the wool produced by their "sheep eating people" and send it to the neighboring Netherlands to make wool products and then sell it back to them, wouldn't they be the ones who are taken advantage of?

The director of the First Woolen Mill took Byron to visit the workshop and took him to see the site planned for the follow-up.

Byron did not have a large crowd, but came here in plain clothes. Anyway, he was not afraid of any assassination by gunmen. It didn't matter if he shot the right ear and gave you the left ear. He didn't even bring a few guards, which made him look particularly friendly.

Byron was quite satisfied with other aspects, but when he saw two ragged children running by with newspaper bags on their backs, he asked another question of concern:

"What about the workers? Are they all right?"

The factory manager obviously didn't hear what Byron really meant, but said with a beaming face:

"Your Majesty, don't look at the prosperity of the capital, but there are countless homeless people, and there are as many workers as you want.

As long as the recruitment conditions are provided with food, they will be scrambling for it.

The salary you set at the beginning seems to be a bit high."

The capital Kingston is the largest city in the entire Kingdom of Hastings. "Benefiting" from the contribution of the land nobles' enclosure movement, the total population exceeds one million, accounting for about 14% of the total population.

The countless cheap labor has already met the basic conditions for starting industrialization.

When hearing the factory manager's suggestion to save costs, Byron directly rejected it:

"Follow the initial standards, their income cannot be lower than that of farmers and herdsmen, and in the end they will even have difficulty surviving."

Money is of course a good thing. The bigger the family business, the more places to spend money.

Although the fleet of treasures robbed a lot, it would be too much for an individual to spend in a lifetime, but at the national level, especially for a country's primitive accumulation of capital, it is just like that.

But what Byron wanted from the beginning was not money, but to use the country's prosperity and people's strength to push his extraordinary path in turn.

In addition to money, the people themselves are also his wealth!

He even has a re-enacted "Labor Law for Surrendering to the Enemy" that has not been taken out:

"In the future, you will work a full eight hours a day, and only three meals and snacks will be provided a day;

And you will only have milk in the morning, and only one hour for lunch;

Only three bonuses will be issued a year, and there will only be two months of annual leave, and a salary increase every four months.

Overtime can only get three times the salary, and after get off work, you are forced to exercise for one hour."

This is a killer weapon prepared for late-developing industrial countries, and it is still too advanced now.

The principle is to use subsidies to squeeze the opponent to death, and the rest will be left to him to do whatever he wants?

"Yes, Your Majesty. You are so kind."

The factory director naturally bowed his head and responded.

At the same time, similar factories were being built on the three islands of Rose, Thistle and Clover.

Since they had accumulated experience for a long time in Torrent Fortress.

A large group of craftsmen who wanted to become Violet's apprentices as [whale oil mechanics] had already designed production lines, process flows, illustrated work instructions, etc.

As long as whale oil steam engines were manufactured through various industrial mother machines, and then distributed to the capital and major wool-producing areas, the successful experience could be continuously replicated.

"In the past, if you wanted to start industrialization, you would need money, land, and labor, and the land aristocracy would definitely resist with all their strength, but they are all gone, and the process of industrialization will not be hindered in any way."

After Byron finished speaking, he was slapped in the face before even a day had passed.

Just in the evening, he suddenly received an emergency report.

Something happened to the factory under construction on Clover Island.

In just a few breaths, the new factory area and machines were submerged by a large area of ​​virgin forest, and hundreds of workers, engineers, and craftsmen were all dead!
