With the development of agriculture and production, the lives of the Empire's people improved day by day.
More and more people were wearing exquisite, beautiful, and cheap clothes. They were living in solid and warm brick and cement houses. Mirrors, sugar, soap, glassware, and other luxuries that they had never even dared to dream of had also become the daily necessities that they could afford.
Everyone felt as if they were dreaming. The changes in their lives were too big and too fast. It was hard for them to adapt for a while.
However, they knew very well in their hearts who had brought them this heaven-like life that they could only dream of in the past.
It was their Emperor, their God, who had rescued them from hell and brought the heavens of their dreams to the human world.
While people were amazed and enjoying the changes in their lives, their faith in Chen Mo became more and more devout. If all of this was not a miracle, then what was it?
Chen Mo's construction of the people's livelihood was far more than this.
In addition to the construction and development of a large number of industries, Chen Mo built large-scale roads and irrigation works throughout the country in order to facilitate the flow of economic materials and improve transportation.
In order to improve the education level of the people and cultivate talents in various industries, Chen Mo built a large number of schools throughout the country, popularized education, and gradually promoted the nine-year compulsory education system.
Now that the problem of food and clothing had been solved, the young children no longer needed to help the family herd sheep or farm. They could go to school to learn.
However, the number of teachers was a big problem. In this era, only the nobles had the opportunity to learn and read. Ordinary civilians could not even fill their stomachs, let alone have the heart and ability to learn.
Fortunately, Chen Mo did not kill the nobles when he conquered the European continent. As long as they were willing to surrender, Chen Mo guaranteed their personal and property safety.
However, without the income of the territory, a large number of noble families began to run out of money. Although many capable nobles were once again placed in important positions by Chen Mo to help him govern the territory and handle government affairs, many nobles began to have financial problems.
At this time, Chen Mo pointed out a way out for them. They could enter schools and become teachers, teaching children and earning a salary.
At this time, they had already lost their original noble titles. If they continued to put on airs as nobles, they would be asking for trouble. Many former noble masters, madams, and young ladies stepped into the classroom, picked up teaching pointers, and embarked on the path of teaching and educating people.
Agriculture, industry, economy, transportation, water conservancy, and education welcomed a great development. All kinds of construction and production were in full swing throughout the country.
Beside Chen Mo, a large city was being built a few kilometers away from the Black Stone Castle.
Chen Mo's first batch of citizens had already moved in and became the first residents of the Imperial Capital.
In the center of this large city, a large building, a large city by large, was built by the Imperial Palace.. This was the Empire's temple, where the faith of the Empire's citizens.
To wear wear by wear by wear by the streets by the Emperor by the empire by the Emperor by the Emperor..
On the side of the road, a wide and square long carriage slowly stopped under the wooden bus stop sign. The people who had arrived at the stop filed out of the back door of the carriage and walked towards their respective destinations. The people who got on the carriage also lined up neatly from the front door and boarded the carriage one by one.
This was obviously Chen Mo's idea.
Public carriages like this could be seen on every street in the city. It was very convenient for people to travel around.
In a huge square, many people were strolling around. The elderly were sitting on long benches, basking in the sun, while the children were laughing and running around in the square. Who would have thought that a few years ago, they were still starving and worrying about food. They were in a precarious situation where they could be eaten by the werewolves at any time?
After ascending the throne, Chen Mo used three years to build this originally chaotic and dark Europe into a stable and prosperous civilized society. The long and dark Middle Ages ended early, and Europe entered a new era of rapid development.
After putting his territory and country on the right track and fulfilling his responsibilities as the lord and king of his people, Chenmo was ready to leave after experiencing the construction of a country.
But before leaving, Chen Mo still had many things to arrange.
On this day, in the study, Chen Mo called Andrew and the other three to him.
"I'm about to leave."
Looking at the four people standing in front of him, Chen Mo slowly said.
"Master, are you going back to the Empire?"
Andrew hurriedly asked.
Chen Mo nodded slightly and said in a deep voice.
"After I leave, the Empire needs a new Emperor."
Speaking of this, Chen Mo looked at Andrew, who was now in the first position.
"Andrew, you've been with me for the longest time. You will take the throne."
Andrew was not moved at all. Instead, he knelt on the ground and said excitedly.
"No, Master, the Empire will always be your Empire, and I'll always be your most loyal Knight."
Andrew was a pure warrior and a loyal knight. It was hard for him to accept the fact that he had to replace the master he was loyal to.
Besides, Andrew wasn't too interested in the throne. He was Chen Mo's most trusted aide and was above everyone else in the Empire. He knew the taste of wielding power, but he wasn't obsessed with it. Compared to being immersed in complicated government affairs every day, he was more willing to fight alongside his knight brothers or take off his armor and spend the rest of his life with his beloved. These were more attractive to him than the throne.
He already had eternal life and everything he dreamed of. What was there to be dissatisfied with?
Seeing Andrew's firm attitude, Chen Mo shook his head gently and turned to look at Victor next to him.
Without waiting for Chen Mo to speak, Victor also knelt down.
"Master, no one can replace you on the throne."
Although Victor was once a feudal lord, but he did not have much ambition. His current status was high enough for him. He had never thought that he could reach his current height and become a Duke. As for the Empire's Emperor, in his mind, only Chen Mo was the supreme existence. As for himself, he did not have this qualification.
Chen Mo was helpless and his gaze fell on Amelia.
"Master."
Amelia knelt on the ground. Although she did not directly refuse, Chen Mo already knew the answer from her face.
In her eyes, the throne was not as attractive as her Marquis Castle.
Finally, Chen Mo looked at Marcus with a profound expression. Under Chen Mo's indescribable gaze, Marcus' heart tightened. He promptly knelt down and deeply lowered his head, not daring to say a word.
If it was before, he might have incomparably longed for that supreme position. But now, he did not have the slightest such thoughts.
Even if the throne that represented the supreme authority of the Empire was placed in front of him, he did not dare to touch it. Because that throne belonged to Chen Mo.
When he first joined Chen Mo, he had some other thoughts. He wanted to use Chen Mo's strength to seek higher power and status. Now, he had realized his ambition. He had gone from being a strange creature hiding in all directions to becoming one of the rulers of the entire European continent. He was one of the few people who stood at the top of the hierarchy.
But his ambition stopped there. He was already satisfied with his current position. He did not dare to have any thoughts about the supreme position that belonged to Chen Mo. The longer he stayed under Chen Mo's command, the more he felt that Chen Mo was unfathomable.
At first, he suspected that Chen Mo was just a powerful human. But as he learned more about Chen Mo, he found that Chen Mo was full of countless mysteries. The various miraculous things about him could not be explained by common sense.
He seemed to be omniscient and omnipotent. Not only did he have incomparable strength, but he also possessed countless advanced technologies and knowledge and concepts that surpassed this era. These things made Marcus feel more reverent than his strength.
That was because power could be obtained through mutation, but knowledge could not be obtained. Then there was only one explanation. Chen Mo was really a god who had come to the mortal world from heaven.
After confirming Chen Mo's identity in his heart, Marcus' fear and reverence for Chen Mo deepened day by day. He only dared to revere and worship the throne that Chen Mo gave up. He did not dare to walk up it himself. How could the throne of gods be touched by mortals?
Just now, he had already thought it through clearly. He did not dare to sit on that throne. Instead of being on tenterhooks and seeking power that did not belong to him, it was better to be an honest Duke of the Empire and a vampire elder.
Marcus' thoughts could not escape Chen Mo's keen perception. Marcus, who was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, did not know that he had just walked through the gates of hell. If he had not wisely adjusted his position and put down his covetousness for the Empire's throne, he would have already been beheaded by Chen Mo.
Chen Mo still had a grudge against this ruthless and ambitious vampire ancestor in the movies. He did not let him join in the pursuit of Alexander Corvinus. Instead, he sent him to the eastern battlefield to help him conquer the territories in eastern Europe.
The Knight subordinates under him were all loyal to Chen Mo. Unlike Andrew, Victor, and Amelia, who each had their own core subordinates, the Knight who followed him into battle only accepted his command during wartime. Once the war was over, he would return to a state of being alone. He could not casually mobilize any Knight.
Therefore, Marcus could be said to be the one with the least authority among the four vampire elders. After all, although he was loyal to Chen Mo, he was more in awe. In terms of piety, he was slightly inferior to the other Knight, let alone Andrew and the other two who were the most resolute in their beliefs.
