Lesson 25: Split Governance

Erkühl went into full-scale post-war processing after finishing talks with Cecilia.

Anti-Lemurian forces had already been swept away from the territory of the former Bulgaron kingdom, leaving only those who had vowed subordination to Elquille, at least on the surface.

Now the problem is the governing policy, but Erkühl decided to lay down a dual system of governance.

Because trying to manage nomads and farmers centrally creates inconvenience.

Nomads were never the only ones who lived in the Bulgaron Kingdom, but rather farmers.

And Erkühl was going to colonize the old Bulgaron region with Tunda soldiers.

It governs these farmers in the same way that the Lemurian Empire has done until now, that is, by means of control based on land, and centrally by bureaucrats sent by their own countries.

Since most of the former Bulgaron region was originally a subordinate province of the Lemurian Empire, the regional division followed it and some areas not covered by it were either absorbed as part of the subordinate province or a new division was enacted.

On the other hand, against the nomads, Erkühl decided to exercise control over people by reference.

In other words, it is in the same way as traditional Bulgaron kingdoms.

Essentially, it doesn't make much difference around Erkühl just taking up the status that King Bulgaron has always had, recognizing autonomy within his family and, when things happen, participating in the war.

Not everything is the same.

"I want you guys to pay your taxes properly. That's the law of Lemuria."

And Elquille gathered all the chiefs of the family of the Bulgaron together in the throne, and said so.

Their faces are not very bright though.

It's natural, to take it for granted, but until now they've never paid taxes.

The Kingdom of Bulgaron is only a United Nation of the clan.

Everything inside the family was up to the family, and no matter how powerful the Kotormian family was, it never collected taxes or contributions from other tribes.

but the Lemurian Empire is different.

Tax collection is natural for the Lemurian Empire, a centralised state.

"But His Majesty the Emperor. We can afford to pay taxes…"

"When the hell did I allow you to speak, Chief Territel?

Erkühl blamed the contested chief Mr Territel.

At the same time use the magic of 'Fear' and intimidate the Chief Territel.

Chief Territel dyed his face bright blue.

In the kingdom of Bulgaron only the king and the chief of the family are allies, friends and not lords and ministers.

As a result, I was able to speak freely at the meeting, and I could not be blamed for that.

That's why I opened my mouth to that habit.

But...

"Okay, I'll be kind enough to say that there may be people who don't understand. I am not your friend, I am your master and master. The Emperor of the Lemurian Empire is the agent of God on earth, ruler of all the lands of the world, the Mesian world. Absolute existence. I'm gonna say it again, okay? I am your master and owner, and you are slaves and dogs. Order your liver that my relationship with you will be more significant than that."

Using the expression 'dog', which the Bulgarians dare not like, Erkühl makes them understand their position.

Continue the words further.

"I gathered you in no way to hear your opinions, nor to gain your endorsement. to communicate the decision. You stand below the Governor of the Original Land and you will not see me, let alone receive that order directly from me. Be as honored as you can kneel at me in front of you like this. All you have to do is listen to the orders you have come down from me and carry them out. If you don't want to, you have a bow."

Listening to the words of Erkühl, the Bulgarians once again learned that the existence of Erkühl, Emperor Remulia, is a different dimension from their perception.

It will be certain that we will be subjected to repression.

The clan chiefs were thoughts that darkened in front of them, given the future.

Erkühl says to such clan chiefs.

"But I don't think I can get you money. Therefore, storage is allowed until the monetary economy penetrates. Allow some petitions later in respect of tax rates. It shall also be tax-free for five years, and for a further five years it shall be at the discretion of each clan."

The clan chiefs gave a surprise look when Elquille said so.

And the dark look until earlier is somewhat better.

"I will impose military service on you apart from your normal taxes. Specifically, let the bureaucrats explain… have a battalion built in each family and conscript it as a soldier in a row. And to impose taxes on that battalion as an administrative unit, you intend to."

This is what Elquille ordered.

For example, family A, which has 6,000 personnel who can withstand military service.

Families with 4800 people b.

Family C with 1200 people.

assume that each exists.

To build a battalion in each family, it will be five in A, four in B, and one in C.

Turn this in order so that, as far as possible, the burden on each clan is fair and just.

That's what it is.

Note that this is only the number of personnel who can withstand military service.

In other words, the number of one 'battalion' jumps when it includes families of soldiers such as children women old men.

"The families who cannot maintain the battalion, the families who are undernumbered in the first place, will be merged."

When Elquille said so, the weak clan chiefs made their faces gnaw.

In other words, it showed that their status could be ousted.

but weak but therefore unable to defy the elkür.

"And a certain number of the children of the Bulgarons to study in Nova Remulia."

This is a cloth stone that immerses the Bulgarians in the culture of Messianism and the Lemurians.

It also meant tailoring Bulgarian children to bureaucrats and watchdogs to monitor Bulgarian trends.

Elquille, among other things, communicated a fine policy of control to the chiefs of the clan.

The chiefs of the clan were sick of the detailed provisions, but some of them were delighted.

It is the liberalisation of commerce.

Until now the Kingdom of Bulgaron and the Lemurian Empire had been between different countries, so certain restrictions had been placed on that trade.

But now that he is a subordinate of the same country, Erkühl has decided to pay off all its restrictions.

This makes the movement of merchants on both sides more active.

This was very gratifying for the Bulgarians, whose trading activities were indispensable.

... Regardless, Erkühr did not liberalize the transaction with kindness.

Its aim is to fully integrate the Bulgarians' economy into the Lemurian Empire economy, so that they can't even if they want to break away.

The Bulgaron kingdom died because of the economic blockade of Erkühl, which meant that it was economically dependent on the Lemurian Empire...

None of the clan chiefs were aware of that and were honestly pleased with the increasing dependence.

And the last problem...

"Now, shall we move on to the treatment of the families of the Kotormians that you will be concerned about?"

Erkühr said with a niggling grin.

Tension runs.

That should be it, too.

Only the Lemurians and neutral Bulgarians were called to this occasion, because the Kotormians were not.

"First all those who resisted to the end killed or sold them as slaves after catching them"

The people who resisted to the end.

That is Telelig, the eldest son of the Kotormian family Soujia, and one of his factions.

Since we could not leave them within the territory of the former Kingdom of Bulgarons, Erkühl has dealt with all this.

"The next pitifully toothed, defeated... a faction that gave to the second son. They'll do it to you."

The chiefs of the clan gave a bewildering look to Elquille's words.

A faction bestowed on a second son, a faction that rivaled and defeated the three men who had invited the Lemurian army to desire the status of chief of the family of Bulgaron and the Kotormia.

I know that...

The chief of the family didn't know what "let's do" meant.

"Alicia."

So for the first time, Elquille called Alicia's name.

Many of the Bulgarians' chiefs leaned their necks in their hearts to this.

Because there was no Alicia Chrome on this occasion.

"Yes!

But I did hear a reply.

Between these thrones is Alicia.

The chiefs of the clan moved their gaze, and saw who the voice was.

Alicia's voice was as close to the front… that is, to Elquille.

But there's no sign of Alicia there.

"Yes, Alicia."

"Hey, what is it, Your Majesty?"

"Sorry, I changed my mind"

Pattin.

and Erkühr unraveled the illusion that he maintained using his fingers, Asmodeus and Citrie.

The clan chiefs saw something incredible.

Emperor Lemuria, who had sat on the throne until earlier... because he was now sitting on a brunette girl.

The girl did not wear horseback riding trousers, she wore a short Bulgaron dress with a red collar around her neck when she did it.

Its collar chain extends to Elquille's hand.

"Ki, I didn't know you changed your mind..."

"I lifted the illusion."

"...... Huh!!!

Alicia's body sways with agitation, understanding what it means.

My face stained bright red with humiliation and shame.

Bachin!

Erkühl slapped Alicia's glutes hard.

Alicia makes a small scream.

Elquille pulled the chain forcefully, causing Alicia's face to pull up.

Attacked by pain and breathlessness, Alicia distorted her face.

"Don't shake. You get drunk, right?"

"Also, sorry, sorry, sorry..."

"Stay with me until the meeting's over."

"Ha, yes... Ugh... uhh"

stroked her accentuated glutes, Alicia whispers.

Keep it up, Elquille says pale, keep it up.

"I'll distribute as much as I can to the Chromium family. You can use it as you like."

"Do you want to use it?

"Slave, slave"

Including Alicia at last in Elkhur's words, the clan chiefs understood Elkhur's intentions.

In other words, all members of the group who gave the second son will be enslaved and distributed.

"I will distribute many slaves to my family who took my side early on. This is a thank you from me. Especially the Chromium clan, Alicia was more active than"

"Oh, thank you. Sire."

Alicia had no choice but to thank Elquille.

As the most labor force, slaves are where Alicia and the others want them.

It is particularly uncomfortable for the Bulgarians to serve as slaves the human beings of the exterminated nomadic tribes, the kidnapped farmers.

I do have some thoughts about the Kotormia clan and its allied clans, that is, given that they are old companions...

Still, it is the culture of the Bulgarians that it is worse to lose, that it is natural for the weak to be abused.

It was therefore accepted lightly, without great abomination.

Well, I don't have the right of veto in the first place.

"The family of the Kotormians who finally turned back to our country after the Battle of Berejuen, and the Kotormian family who surrendered. They are reorganized into small pieces. I never serve as a slave."

That said, there's something more to it than not being called on this occasion.

The clan chiefs who thought so await Elquille's next word.

"I do not impose military service on them. Instead, I owe you heavier taxes and labor duties than the taxes I have imposed on you. Especially since infrastructure in the old Bulgaron region is urgently needed."

Erkühl was going to lay down enough oppression against them to "lose even the power to rebel".

The clan chiefs have an unexpected sympathy.

but it is noticed that in the following words of Erkühl it is by no means other personnel.

"Please be aware that depending on your attitude towards me and the Lemurian Empire, you will be forced into servitude, and you will be liable for heavy taxes and labor. And if they start a revolt, they will raise taxes on you as a joint liability for not knowing it and not telling us. Keep an eye on the surveillance."

| Divide et impera. Split Governance

The purpose of Erkühl was the partition of the Bulgarians.

The most favoured are the Lemurians, mainly the chromium clan.

Neutralists, mainly the Territorial clan, are not treated cold but are not particularly favoured.

And the next to be treated cold, oppressed are those who surrendered early in the Kotormians, and the last to be dropped into slavery were those who were slow to surrender.

Furthermore, it was intended to discriminate far-flung, although not directly to each hierarchy.

Doing so would make him jealous of the upper hierarchy, scorn the lower hierarchy, and at the same time become more submissive to the Lemurian and Lemurian emperors in order to maintain and further improve his current status.

That is Elquille's prospect.

The Kingdom of Squirrel and Bulgaron has been completely partitioned by the hands of Erkühl, losing horizontal cooperation, and cannot be disobeyed by increasing economic dependence, and mesianism and lemulianization have gradually spread......

When Erkühl dies, he becomes a full subjects of the Lemurian Empire, but that is exactly what was still to come.

It was also the most definite future to visit.
