For a civilian, this is the best ending.
This method of remuneration through land management rights for a certain period of time not only satisfies the enthusiasm of some pioneers for the land, but also alleviates the financial difficulty of Middenland to a certain extent.
Inspired by such a consistent land policy, ambitious young people in Midden Territory often choose to become glorious pioneers and one day obtain their own land.
Such a policy was also forcibly implemented by the Duke's Palace into the fiefdoms of various marquis and earls in Midden territory, and it lasted for hundreds of generations.
Today, with the Empire's stereotyped contempt and complacency towards Midden Territory, nearly [-]% of the wasteland and frozen soil in Midden Territory has been cultivated into fields.
Although the fertility of these fields is far less than that of the thousands of miles of fertile fields in the great plains of the four provinces in the hinterland of the empire, they can at least produce crops equivalent to [-]% of the level.
This is completely enough for the Midden people who are used to living a hard life.
Due to the deliberate concealment by the officials of the Dawn Church and the Duke's Palace, the gains brought about by Midden's policy that had been implemented for thousands of years were not widely publicized. Duke An of all generations chose to make a fortune in silence.
The special terrain and completely different religious environment of the Midden Territory also blocked the southerners of the empire from spying on intelligence to a certain extent.
The vast plateau of the Midden Territory is roughly in the shape of a "T". The plateau is surrounded by snow-capped mountains that are uninhabitable for most creatures. The capital, Warm Winter City, is located in the southernmost part of the Midden Territory Plateau.
Thanks to various complex factors such as monsoons, mountains, and mysterious locks, the area where Midengling is located is one of the few "spring cities" on the plateau that has abundant rainfall, four distinct seasons, and rain and heat at the same time.
At the same time, Warm Winter City is the empire's only gateway to the vast northern frontier.
Any high-level strong person or large-scale group who wants to enter Northern Xinjiang through Nuan Dong City must first rest in Nuan Winter City and obtain a permit to enter Xinjiang, otherwise they will be wanted by Miden Leader.
Facing the north of Nuan Dong City, where there is freezing season for nine months of the year, thousands of miles of wilderness that is inaccessible and infested with wild animals, the prosecutors and spies sent by the empire are usually daunted and choose to live and die in the warm and prosperous Nuan Winter City.
Private adventure teams and most high-level professionals will also waste their little patience when dealing with the cumbersome and complicated Xinjiang entry permit and give up entering northern Xinjiang.
The ascetic monks of the Church of the Moon who attempt to preach to the northern Xinjiang will also be firmly blocked by the pastors of the Church of the Dawn in the Winter City, unable to move even an inch.
After all, the Morningside Church has always been involved in Midden Territory's land policy that has been implemented for thousands of years.
Although they never interfered with Midden Territory's internal affairs decisions, they were highly coordinated with the Duke's Palace in other aspects.
Without the strong support and assistance of the Dawn Church, the pioneers' reclamation work would have been difficult to proceed smoothly.
Middenland's population has been growing slowly and regularly since its pioneering.Although the growth rate is not fast, it has been maintained for thousands of years!
The population of Midden Territory hidden in official data has long reached a jaw-dropping level.
Now that the millennium of pioneering in Midden Territory has finally seen the light of day, the Church of Dawn has been deeply rooted in the northern border and has absolute prestige and authority, and it is even more impossible to allow the pastors of the Church of the Moon to take a free share of the pie.
The church does not care about secular rights, but it cannot give up the spread of faith among this massive population.
Although Lathander and Selun are allies, their churches in Ashe are often in competition.
There are so many gods in this world, and of course the churches on the earth are also dotted densely.
The competition between these churches has always been fierce, and the popes are always struggling to attract believers.
Therefore, the Church of the Dawn has always chosen to work closely with the Duke's Palace to deceive outside snoops and obtain the special power to establish a parish in the Midden Territory and freely open the Church of the Dawn.
Without official endorsement, the Church of the Moon in the south could not make any progress, and the Church of Dawn successfully became the only official church in the Midden Territory within a thousand years.
With this constant acquiescence, Midenland has quietly become a behemoth hidden in northern Xinjiang.
Imperial people usually only know that there is Warm Winter City in Midden Territory, but they don't know that three very large cities, second only to Warm Winter City, have been built on the Qianli Plateau to the north of Warm Winter City.
It was in the past few hundred years that Middenland's pioneering policy finally reaped the sweetest fruits.
It has officially become a northern ghost that can maintain well by its own cycle and is completely free from the political center of the Silver Moon Empire.
But such decentralized expansion also brings equally serious consequences, that is, the dispersion of power.
Because the Midden Territory is so big, it is equivalent to the area of the four provinces in the hinterland of the empire plus the capital. This means that no matter how powerful the Duke's Palace is, there will still be places beyond its reach.
Facing more and more cultivated fields and more and more people, the Duke's Palace has been unable to fully manage these enthusiastic pioneers.
In desperation, part of the power to manage the pioneers was delegated to the two marquis and two earls in Midden territory.
As the fields in northern Xinjiang expanded, Nuan Dong City, located at the southernmost tip of the Midden Territory, fell into an awkward situation of insufficient power radiation.
As a result, the power and influence of the marquis and earls gradually expanded, and they gained a very high reputation in the northern part of the Midden Territory.
At first, this was not a big deal for the Duke's Palace.
Those nobles were originally the servants of the An family who first conquered Northern Xinjiang, and their loyalty to the An family has not changed for thousands of years.
But 800 years ago, Midden's Warm Winter City suffered the most serious civil strife in its history. The An family's bloodline was almost cut off and their face was disgraced. This made the nobles who already had enough land and population have second thoughts.
Although the Duke's Palace later slowly recovered to a relatively strong state, it was ultimately not as good as before, and it was powerless to deal with those subordinates who were increasingly acting against the will.
To make matters worse, the imperial royal family seemed to react slowly and belatedly, vaguely sensing the terrifying power hidden in the Midden Territory during the civil strife, and launched a hostile attack.
In the past, the reason why the provincial governors and emperors of the empire tolerated Duke An's possession of such a vast land was simply because the northern Xinjiang was uninhabitable due to the bitter cold.
But now, with the deepening of the pioneering process, the comprehensive strength of the entire Miden Territory has the possibility of approaching the four hinterland provinces directly under the empire, which makes any grand duke or emperor unable to sit still.
Economic sanctions and threats of force against Midden Territory followed, and defensive fortresses of various sizes were built on the plains of Nord Territory to prevent Midden Territory from moving south.
Many nobles are hostile to the Midden Territory, which has been wandering outside the political center of the empire for thousands of years.
After all, the people of Midden Territory have always been ridiculed as northern barbarians, ignorant of etiquette, and do not believe in Selun.
The royal family even attempted to dismember the Midden Territory and split it into four provinces based on its four main cities, intensifying the conflict between Duke An and the marquis.
However, this fatal method was abandoned in the rare resolute protest of the Church of the Dawn, but espionage activities were inevitably carried out among the marquis and earls.
These measures to drain money from the bottom of the cauldron have put the Duke's Palace, which was already at a low point, into complete difficulties.
To put it bluntly, over the past 100 years, the nobles of the three northern cities of Midden have almost begun to ignore the decrees of Warm Winter City.
And because of the greed and conflicts among the marquises, the rebellious nobles began to forcibly seize the land of the pioneers and use it for their own use. This directly dealt a heavy blow to the only policy of the Midden Territory that had been sacred and inviolable for thousands of years. .
Without the constraints of the Duke's Palace, the flourishing nobles in various places carried out land annexation without any scruples, exploited the people of the territory, and increased tariffs wantonly, severely damaging the free business of Midden Territory.
Since then, the already increasingly prosperous Middenland has finally ushered in its darkest years.
The pioneer team was almost disbanded, the frontier rangers as stragglers became increasingly difficult, and even the army gradually became lax.
The potential of the Midden Territory has been completely used for internal strife. Under internal and external troubles, it will not take long before it can almost be said to be divided.
Even more than ten years ago, the most humiliating moment came when Clintina, the sole heir, was taken as a hostage and sent to the capital of Silver Moon. The entire Midden Territory seemed to be cast under an invisible haze.
It was at this time that Nunalia walked to the stage of the Duke's Palace and began to struggle to maintain the Midden Territory.
After suppressing Middenland many times, the Empire believed that Middenland had no chance of turning around, so it relaxed its control after acquiring Clintina.
After all, the Duke's Palace cannot fall yet. It still needs to shoulder the responsibility of guarding the northern border.
If the pressure is too tight, the Duke's Palace will desperately turn off the switch and let the aliens invade, and no one will be able to live well by then.
In this only chance to breathe, Nunalia seized the remaining glimmer of hope.
In order to completely solve the Midden Territory's stubborn problems, Nunalia chose the most extreme method that would not be tolerated by the world.
She completely fell in love with the Murder Order!
With the help of the Murder Order, and adhering to the principle of preferring to kill the wrong person before letting go, she launched a large-scale purge within the Midden Territory through thunderous and bloody methods.
After paying a huge price, the An family's supreme power began to be regained among the rebellious nobles. Law enforcement officers belonging to the Duke's Palace were dispatched to various parts of the Midden Territory to implement the most tolerant policy.
The three groups of pioneers, rangers, and legions were gradually reintegrated into the strict rule of the Duke's Palace.
The people gradually realized that this newly revealed hostess might really be able to change the current situation in Midden Territory, so they chose to cooperate and help.
As bills were promulgated one after another to stimulate the development of the province, high-level professionals and technicians who could no longer tolerate the more smoky environment in the empire came to the rising Midden Territory, including Richard.
The enlightened political environment and the economic potential that had been suppressed for a long time finally flourished in the land of Miden Territory like a blowout.
The rights of the nobles were taken back step by step, and the An family's supreme position in Middenland was re-established.
The most critical node in this is that Nunalia somehow obtained control of the entire Midenland Great Mystery Lock, which is the scepter she threw to Richard!
After acquiring the Great Mystery Lock, Nunalia directly became the absolute dictator of the Midden Territory.
At the same time, news came that Emperor Yinyue was seriously ill, and the long-standing internal conflicts in the entire empire could no longer be suppressed.
The Midden Territory, which was used to divert internal conflicts, has also become an object of fear for other archdukes.
In just ten years, the Midden Territory and the Imperial Royal Family exchanged offense and defense.
After gaining the power of the Miden Territory Mystic Lock, Nunalia discovered that the Mystic Lock had the ability to change the climate on a small scale.
One of the reasons why Nuan Dong City can be so warm is because it belongs to a major node in the Great Mystery Lock of the entire Silver Moon Empire.
There are even three such nodes that can be arranged, but when the Silver Moon Alliance was first established, they were concealed and ignored.
But it is more likely that no one knows at all!
The origin of the Mystery Lock was already ambiguous, and Nunalia had no intention of worrying about it.
The remaining three nodes were naturally placed in three large cities in the north, where the climate gradually improved.
Although it is not warmer than Warm Winter City, it is no longer extremely cold. The yield of the fields has been increasing year after year, and the population is also recovering rapidly.
And with the existence of the Mystery Lock, rebellion by the nobles will never be possible.
Since then, An Jia of the Duke's Palace has completely and effectively controlled the entire Midden Territory, fulfilling a long-cherished wish that had not been achieved for thousands of years.
And it was Nunalia who changed all of this.
"Hmph, it's not bad...it's really amazing."
Clintina sat on the horse and closed the top-secret document that Nunalia had given to her. She breathed a sigh of relief, as too much information filled her not-so-smart mind.
This document records almost all the dirty things and discords that happened since Nunalia came to power. It is the only one in the entire country.
It is no exaggeration to say that this document is Nunalia's crime.
As long as she holds this document, as long as Clintina wants to, she can easily overthrow Nanalia's rule.
Among them, those who were in contact with the Evil God Cult, killed nobles indiscriminately, and bloody suppressed civilians would make Nunalia very anxious if they made any announcement.
Clintina kept the document close to her body and murmured to herself: "But Nunalia is so brave. She dared to hand me this document directly. Maybe she really sees me as her heir?"
"Forget it, I seem to have to receive envoys from other provinces later. I don't want to think about this anymore, so as not to be in a bad state and be ridiculed by that vicious woman. Alas, I have traveled almost all over the Midden Territory in the past few days. "
Chapter 251 Mother and Daughter’s Daily Quarrel
"Clintina, you idiot, why are you still in a daze?"
The familiar mocking tone woke up Clintina, who had been immersed in ten years of history. She turned around and saw Nunalia, who had just returned from abroad.
This woman's annoying tone and contemptuous expression made Clintina, who had planned to build a good relationship, become angry.
Sure enough, no matter what, Nunalia is still the same Nunalia.
