Chapter 132 New Law Enacted
Monty Wang, inside the school grounds......
More than 200,000 forbidden troops, 700,000 reserve knights, and thousands of Templars and mages.
There were millions of civilians on the outskirts, waiting eagerly for the new king to ascend the throne.
Chen Feng had discussed specific matters with Princess Lia in advance, and everything that followed would be handed over to him with full authority.
"Now that the theocracy has been overthrown, so will the hierarchy of the Divine Temple for nearly two hundred years, and from now on, the nobles, commoners, and slaves will be collectively referred to as citizens, and their personal documents will be distributed after real-name registration, and there will be no difference in status and personality, and all free men will be equal.
After the promulgation of the new law, there will be a distinction between rewards and punishments, heavy punishment for guilt, heavy rewards for meritorious service, crimes committed by royal families and nobles will be the same crime as commoners, medals and tattoos will be retained, but the awarding of titles and military ranks will no longer be hereditary, and will be replaced by a military merit system.
Anyone who has made military exploits can be added to the rank of knight, regardless of background. ”
Fortunately, Chen Feng had taken a few history classes before and knew a little about the change.
He stood on the high platform and explained the content of the new law one by one, in fact, to put it bluntly, these contents were all evolved from the Shang Ying Reform, and at that time, in order to cope with the exam, he memorized the specific content of the change overnight, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.
If the Monty Kingdom wants to be strong, rule Azerosia and conquer other continents across the seas, these old ideas must be abolished.
Equality and freedom are the principles, governing the country according to law is the foundation, and rewards and punishments for military merit are necessary.
If you want to change the concept of theocracy, you have to take it step by step, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Chen Feng's speech shocked Greenland and many commanders behind him, which was exactly the ideal country they dreamed of pursuing.
Until then, no one dared to say these words lightly, because they would be burned to death as a pagan.
"This idea is too avant-garde, at least a few hundred years ahead of the Monty Kingdom. Greenland's admiration for Chen Feng deepened again.
I was full of curiosity about the mysterious Oriental Continent where Chen Feng lived, and dreamed of one day being able to go there to explore the mysteries.
The reason why the Monty Kingdom was able to crush the hundred tribes and become the ruling class of Azethea in the first place was not only because of the blessing of magic, but also because the Pope brought more advanced concepts, such as the training of formal knights, the division of noble medals and knightly emblems.
He brought the Terran race from barbarism to civilization, and was ideologically ahead of other races.
And Chen Feng will inevitably bring the Monty Kingdom to a higher level of civilization.
But as soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a sensation in the audience, especially the civilian slaves and the sword-wielding knights, who felt incredible.
"It's all a lie, a face-saving project, just talk, not credible!"
"How can a commoner be on the same level as a nobleman, and would Shousuke be stupid enough to do such a thing that harms the interests of the nobles?"
"Just listen to the words of the royal family and the nobles, they will not be able to fulfill their promises at all. ”
The crowd whispered and complained secretly.
"There is a stone pillar at my feet, which weighs about four hundred pounds, and if anyone can carry it around the high platform, I will award him the Order of the Viscount. ”
Seeing that everyone hesitated, Chen Feng continued: "In this way, reward him with another two million gold coins." ”
"Who can carry these more than 400 catties of stone pillars? It is very likely that it is a new game that the nobles have just come up with, as the opening words of the enthronement, to make fun of us commoners. ”
Similar things, the noble ministers have done a lot of things, but the rewards that were promised in advance were not given a single point, whether it was good or bad, there would be punishments.
Although the reward proposed by Chen Feng was tempting enough, no one dared to try it.
"Then add two million gold coins, and give you another hundred acres of fertile land. Chen Feng's face still did not change, and he kept adding chips.
Under the great reward, there will be outlaws.
"What the hell is Shousuke doing, throwing out such a huge reward at once?"
On the contrary, the commanders behind him were confused, and they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in their first auxiliary gourd?
"Let me try!"
A tall sword-wielding knight put down Changge, took off his tattered coat, and walked straight to the high platform.
"Brother, don't go, they are playing with you, if you can't lift the stone pillar, it may kill the whole clan. "Someone tried to stop him.
"My wife and children and parents died long ago under the butcher's knife of the orcs, and they are alone and fearless. ”
The tall knight stopped in front of the stone steps and bowed to Chen Feng, "Minister Shoufu, the villain is willing to try, I have been carrying goods in the port since I was a child, and there is nothing else, some is strength." ”
"What's your name?"
"The villain has no name and no surname, and the nickname is stupid. The stupid big man buried his head very low, and treated Chen Feng with respect.
After getting Chen Feng's permission, the stupid big man carried the stone pillar, walked slowly around the high platform, and then carefully lowered the stone pillar, for fear of damaging it and causing death.
"Yes, on behalf of Princess Leah, I announce that I will award the Viscount of Silly Big Man, a hundred acres of fertile land, and four million gold coins. ”
Chen Feng waved his robe, and the Forbidden Army Guards brought the reward, in addition to the title deed, there were more than a dozen boxes full of gold coins, and these physical objects were directly rewarded to the stupid big man.
"Shousuke, the villain doesn't dare to ask for it, the villain is satisfied with a piece of gold coin. The stupid big man picked up a gold coin and hurried back, but the Praetorian stopped him and grabbed him back.
"Oh no, this stupid big guy may die in Huangquan!" The onlookers all sighed secretly and mourned for him.
But Chen Feng held the medal in his hand, stepped down from the high platform, and personally put on the Viscount Medal for the stupid big man, "It's not just the gold coin in your palm, these rewards are all yours, take them all." ”
After seeing this scene, the knights and civilians were full of regret, and the great opportunity to be promoted to the rank of lord was in front of them, and they actually failed to cherish it.
It was only at this time that the commanders understood Chen Feng's true intentions, which was to establish integrity for the royal family.
"In the future, as long as the military achievements are outstanding, regardless of status, they can be awarded the Order of Noble. ”
After establishing his prestige, Chen Feng opened the scroll and announced: "From now on, the Monty Kingdom will officially be renamed the Monty Empire, abolish the king, change its name to the Emperor, and Princess Leah will serve as the first empress of the Monty Empire."
And I will continue to serve as the First Auxiliary Minister, Count as the Supreme Commander of the Nation, and the other positions will not be repeated one by one. ”
"Then the enthronement ceremony is now officially ......"
"Chen Feng, you wait first, I have something to say. Leah interrupted Chen Feng's words, "I, Monty Leah, swear by the honor of the Monty clan that I am willing to give up this imperial throne to the first assistant Chen Feng. ”
For the Monty Empire to be strong, it must have a competent ruler.
Compared with Chen Feng, Leah is ashamed of herself, and during the time she gets along day and night, she is also attracted by all kinds of wonderful things in the Eastern world, and hopes that Chen Feng can develop the Monty Kingdom into a new country of freedom and equality.
The identity of the first assistant is obviously not able to do this, so he must give up the real power of the kingdom to Chen Feng, and let him let go of his hands and feet and do what he wants.
