Spring is here.

With the establishment of the Principality of Athens, Murphy became frantically busy.

Not only him, but even Mrs. Elizabeth and the generals and officials in Athens are busy scoring the north, south, east and west. Under the strong military power of Athens, the transfer of power to these aboriginal aristocrats went very smoothly, but the subsequent personnel arrangements and the transfer of officials were quite troublesome. It is impossible for Murphy to concentrate the population in the city of Athens, and these territories incorporated into the Principality need more talents to manage.

After the initial deployment encountered a certain resistance, Murphy immediately changed his mind.

He employed a large number of the former aristocratic class, appointed them as mayors and tax officials in various towns, etc., and then selected talents from the Athens army, and used the recruited aboriginal mercenaries to form security teams and dispatched them to various towns. . On the one hand, it is to maintain local security issues. On the other hand, it is also to use force to monitor the aborigines and nobles, at least to ensure that nothing goes wrong before going through this smooth handover process.

As long as the handover process is complete.

The appointment of its personnel, whether they are capable of staying or not being able to retreat, is all within Murphy's mind.

With such a change, the process of taking over various territories is much easier. With these aboriginal nobles clearing the way, the resistance faced by various cities and towns is also much smaller. As for a few aboriginal aristocrats who were secretly manipulated by the aristocratic council, Murphy directly confiscated his territory and then hanged him for treason. The aboriginal aristocrats suddenly became more honest.

In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracy and tricks are of no use

If it were not for the purpose of avoiding the negative effects of human civil wars, Murphy would actually want to conquer all of this directly by force, because this would break the old order and reestablish it in accordance with the rules of Athens. But now it's just the beginning, Murphy is still inconvenient to use excessive actions, so that the noble council took the opportunity to attack. After all, human beings have a population of only a few million, and it is the best thing to avoid civil war.

Murphy had to plan for the future.

………………

After the establishment of the principality, Murphy even promulgated an important code, that is, the abolition of slavery.

Of course, it is not the kind of abolition of slavery in a broad sense, but a decree that no person or noble in the Principality of Athens can use humans as slaves. The human beings who had become slaves because of crime or bankruptcy in the past all obtained the lowest civilian status and were escorted to Athens by local security teams. Murphy will gather them and open up new land.

After this decree was promulgated, it meant that all slaves in the Principality of Athens had the lowest civilian status.

The effect of this decree was shocking. Murphy almost immediately gained the support of the lower class of civilians, and it also triggered an astonishing effect, that is, many serfs and slaves living under the aristocratic council began to turn to Athens. escape. Because as long as they reach the territory of the Principality of Athens, they will automatically have the lowest civilian status, everything in his past will be erased, and Athens, which has a strong military force, can also give them protection.

This momentum didn't stop until the noble council noticed and hanged a group of people.

But there is no doubt that the lower-level public anger has been aroused.

The purpose of Murphy's move is actually to express a gesture, telling everyone that Athens will build a better and fairer system. As long as anyone works hard, they can get the opportunity to improve. As long as you become a citizen of Athens, even if you are just the lowest-level poor, you may have a better future.

At the same time, Murphy began an offensive of external propaganda, selecting individual models from the first batch of accepted serfs for propaganda.

For example, the Johns family who came to Athens at that time were all inferior serfs at first. After they came to Athens, they became the lowest civilians, but they worked hard to improve their status and own their own land. And their son, a man named Rui Dang, became a reserve militia by his own efforts, and then a formal soldier, who fought off the goblin kobold robber and became a glorious centurion. Now the family has acquired citizenship because of him, almost equivalent to the knight class elsewhere.

The propaganda offensive of this lower-level route is to gather people's hearts for Murphy and lay the groundwork for the next plan.

Although the decree that humans cannot be used as slaves was promulgated, Murphy did not enforce it, because it is now in the process of receiving, and this period must be passed smoothly. With this decree, serfs cannot obtain freedom of life, but they are the most inferior civilians, and the treatment they receive is no longer at the level of slaves.

The aristocratic classes in various regions have the most serfs, and Murphy has no mandatory arrangements for these aristocratic classes.

He just raised the slaves of non-aristocratic serfs to the most inferior civilians, then moved to Athens, allocated land to them, and established villages.

Now, those aborigines and aristocrats are facing a situation, that is, accept this law, give serfs the lowest civilian status, and improve their treatment, or simply ignore Murphy’s decree and let serfs have a nominal status. But it is still used as a slave. If it is the former, then Murphy's goal has been achieved. He is already creating momentum for himself, not only by prestige, but also by adding the virtuous, benevolent and great Lord Lord to his reputation.

And if the aboriginal nobles simply ignore this decree, then things are even simpler.

Those serfs will definitely have resentment for this, and people's hearts will turn to Murphy, and those who ignore his laws can also let him know who is available and who is not, and they can be cleaned up at that time.

Kill two birds with one stone

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the spring of 377, late January of the Second Age.

The one-month reception process has brought everything into formality, and officials everywhere have also rearranged it. The managers of the cities and towns have also changed from the former lord to one of the officials of the Principality of Athens. They automatically have citizenship and can serve in the Principality of Athens, but they are limited to the outer territories, not including the city of Athens.

Officials within the city of Athens also serve as core citizens.

After completing the initial transfer, Murphy immediately ordered a census. Due to the previous decree abolishing humans as slaves, many hidden populations also emerged. Such "hidden households" exist in any era. They have no legally recognized status, so they can also evade many taxes. However, in the Athenian code, the most inferior civilians are entitled to a piece of land, which undoubtedly attracted many such ‘hidden households’.

The census is a huge project, and the time required for this project is at least three months.

After the census is completed, a large number of lower-class civilians will be moved to the vicinity of Athens to reclaim the land there and establish villages and towns. The land around Athens is extremely fertile because of its proximity to the Nedorian River, and many places are valuable for reclamation. This population migration plan is the most important step for Murphy to strengthen himself and weaken the aboriginal aristocracy. As long as the population is concentrated near the city of Athens, Murphy's goal will be achieved.

As long as there is a sufficient population, Athens will be able to unify the southern plains by force even if there is a war with the aristocratic council.

But now, this situation is maintained.

Although Athens has a strong military power that can deter the noble council, but the same population limit of one less death prevents Murphy from going all out to fight the noble council, otherwise, even if he wins, his family will be wiped out. . It was useless to unify the southern plains at that time, because the losses were too great. He also has no spare energy to take mankind out of the present predicament.

If you want to transform the aborigines into the army of Athens, this must be assimilated.

And this process of assimilation also takes a lot of time, even if it is just militia training and population arrangements, it takes more than half a year.

These things are in a hurry.

The rise of Athens has been unstoppable~www.readwn.com~ but it can't make it to the sky in one step

Otherwise, the foundation below is too weak and it may collapse in an instant. Moreover, the aristocratic council is a lean camel bigger than a horse, and Murphy can't take it lightly.

No one in the upper ranks will surrender power easily.

After the beginning of spring.

The census has begun, and the first migrants have been placed near the tributaries of the Nedoria River. With the aid of materials from Athens, these places can quickly establish villages and cultivate fertile land. Sufficient population means enough As long as the labor force can mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, at most as long as next year, a large amount of food can be produced here.

Whether it is the fertile field of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, or the natural phosphate fertilizer on the small delta island, it is the guarantee of a bumper harvest next year.

Sting dragon.

Today, Athens is like a stinging dragon, waiting for the moment when its wings are full and soaring for thousands of miles.
