Chapter 61: A dilemma

This is a thorny question, and the question of which form of government to use, which concerns everyone's vital interests, will not be easily compromised. The Covenant did make it necessary for them to stand with Peverell, and this was not a Muggle treaty to be tore up and played, but the treaty was dead, and man was alive. Although I can't directly violate it, I can't do it if I don't work.

If you can't satisfy the giants here, Peverell is no different from going it alone.

In the end, it was Peveril who was willing to share the benefits with others, such as adopting the system of the Frankish kingdom and dividing all the land, which would naturally satisfy the allies.

Under the feudal system, the feudal lords had independent tax, military, and administrative rights, which fully satisfied the rights and interests of each family, so that the allies would devote themselves to the war with great enthusiasm.

But this undoubtedly harms Peverell's own vested interests.

At present, there are no exact statistics, and we know that Peverell's own share of the total economy in Europe - including land, herb estates, pastures, etc. - can only be based on the text deeds left in various periods of history, and get a rough data, that is, Peverell owns 42% of the land in Europe, 68% of the herb estates, and 83% is used for cultivation and breeding of aquatic and terrestrial animal pastures.

In the best-case scenario, after defeating all the enemies, Peverell still needs to cede considerable benefits in order to properly distribute the interests of his allies.

This made the call within the Peverell family, which originally supported Phoenix as king, disappear in an instant. In the eyes of the family members, the land and wealth of Peverell today were acquired by the ancestors of the past generations with great sacrifices, and how could they be easily transferred to others. Not even if they did a lot of aid to Peverell's.

Wanting Peverell's rights and interests and exchanging the head for it has become the mainstream idea within the family.

Since there was no internal unanimity, the feudal monarchy was definitely not going to work.

For wizarding families, the most tangible benefits are either land or technology. Peverell is reluctant to give up the land, so he can only sell the technology. Even if you don't count the big families here, there are more than a hundred small and medium-sized families who eat, drink, and have fun on the surface, but they are worried about the process of the meeting in their hearts, and where does Peverell have so many unique magic techniques to share with them.

Wizards are mostly stuck in medieval notions, except for feudal monarchies. It was similar to the Greek city-state system, and it was also the system that wizards had always used.

Each region is elected by the Ministry of Magic or the Council, and is usually an administrative district centered around a city with surrounding rural areas in mind, and manages a population ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. The parent body, the International Confederation of Wizards, is the highest body similar to the Confederacy, consisting of regional heads or representatives. Its activities are limited to specific aspects, such as international disputes and transnational crimes, and have no ability or legal basis to enforce against magical institutions in various regions.

In general, it is very loose.

The city-state system was continued, and the allies did not accept it. Because then there is no point in fighting this battle. Families like Peverell are almost invincible through their control of the means of production. Taking advantage of economic advantages to easily divide and disintegrate any potentially dangerous family alliance may be acceptable to the small and medium-sized families outside, but the big families here cannot accept it.

Now Peveril is the buyer, they have no ability or too much cost, and have to seek the help of their allies in order to quell the unrest in Europe. While this situation is not good for them, it is even worse for Peverell. Because Peverier is the boss of Europe, the vast majority of the interests are in their stomachs. The current turmoil is bleeding Pefrelier's vested interests.

A big family cannot be maintained without profit. No big family is maintained by family affection and blood, and it can't be maintained at all. Only tangible benefits can make everyone feel that the surname Peverell is worth it, and they are willing to shed blood and sacrifice for it.

Peverier is bigger than any wizarding family in Europe, so they have the most resources and need the most resources. This kind of family that continues to bleed and dies first is definitely not them, but Peverell.

Therefore, the major families can completely stay out of the matter by "not contributing to work". Let Peverell fight to the death on his own. Even without their help, Peverell would have had to solve the problem anyway. Therefore, Peverell asked for help and had to come up with a corresponding interest to purchase their services.

They will never accept that they will contribute to the detriment, and in the end they will only restore their pre-war interests.

After Ed Will Smith finished speaking, the audience immediately fell silent. Everyone's eyes widened, waiting for Phoenix to answer. His answer will directly determine the nature of the Alliance.

There are also people who smile maliciously, in their opinion. At this moment, Peverell has fallen into a dilemma, entering, gritting his teeth and stubbornly supporting himself to solve it, he may lose too much and lose his European hegemony, and even be eaten by everyone here. Retreat, give up vested interests, although the family is guaranteed, but the loss of interests makes Peverell have to "slim down", which narrows the gap between Peverier and other top European families, so that Peverell is not so high, not so stable as Mount Tai.

Both Billlow and Lyanna looked nervous. They are different from the other families here, economically, they have been annexed by Peverell, and through uninterrupted marriages, they have basically assimilated with Peverell, except that they do not have the surname Peverell.

"The question—" Billo saw that Phoenix didn't speak, intending to divert the conversation and let the question drag on for a while.

Barrow was in charge of financial management, which wizards didn't understand at all, and had been relying on Muggles for help. After signing the International Wizarding Secrecy Act, the family wanted to continue to help Peverell manage the bank, and without relying on the elves, they had to secretly learn Muggle knowledge.

So they understood the Muggle situation better than most wizards.

Considering that most of the wizarding society is now dominated by half-bloods. A feudal monarchy is never feasible. In a short period of time, due to the war, maybe the low-level wizards will not think so, and after a while, they will definitely collapse at an alarming speed.

Muggles are not hundreds of years ago, they have a hard time accepting the exploitation of feudal lords, and half-blood wizards are subject to the influence of their parents.

In this way, feudalism is basically a dead end. At least that's how Bilow sees it, and he thinks that Peverell is actually desperate at the moment.

Phoenix raised his hand, and he immediately fell silent.

"Guys, I don't think we need to say anything about each other. Phoenix said to everyone in the room, "You're here to see what you can get by helping Peverell. And we never let people help us in vain, you help us, and we will respond. ”

"We already have an initial idea for the new government. Phoenix beckoned to the crowd, "Let my personal advisor, Nikolai, elaborate on it." ”
