It was swift as a storm, and did not even give any class even a day to react.

The level of secrecy in the court of Constantine was the highest level for the detailed planning of this change.

The biggest beneficiary of this new hierarchy is, of course, Ballleologo. The professional guild officially took over the control of the land, including the most basic peasants, and also enjoyed the most basic control over the land. Although taxes will not be reduced on both grain land and professional union land, maximizing the use of land can increase the output of land to a certain extent.

As for the new aristocracy, they were probably the most awkward in this reform program. originally thought that the empire's wanton suppression of the old aristocracy was to give the new nobility a chance to rise, but these new nobles of the empire, who used to only serve the royal family and even local nobles, had the ability but no family background, but now they have been slapped in the face. Or rather, they are still not the new aristocracy. The real new aristocracy is a small group of candidates who have gained the trust of the royal family. Giovanni, for example, Francisco, even Lycaon, who had led his army under the Ottomans for several years, would have more power than them in the future.

They were not so-called aristocrats, but just a different form of bureaucracy - in place of royalty and real nobility, governing the lands that belonged to them. The commoners may look up to them in awe, but in the eyes of the true aristocracy, including the royal family of Palaiologo, these officials are nothing more than tools to help rule the place.

The extremely strong gap made the emotions of the so-called elders of the upper echelons almost out of control on the spot, and even a few people began to roar directly at Jeffrey, and then were controlled by the guards.

Of course, there are also many representatives at the top of the hierarchy who are still thinking about the possible impact of this land reform program. The extent to which management can be subdivided is a very crucial factor. The strengthening of the centralization of power in the empire is an unstoppable process in the future, and everyone knows this. If the management of land can be multifaceted, then it is likely to increase the hidden benefits of land. This degree can be adjusted and relaxed at any time, and it is only in the mind of Valleologo.

Another important point, and one of the reasons why most of the new nobles remained silent, was that the new nobles had too limited a number of troops. Perhaps deliberately by Constantine XI and John, the number of troops that the new nobility could directly control was compressed to a rather embarrassing number. And if you want to hire mercenaries, you need a lot of money. They did not have the right to use the tax directly, and the funds needed for local exhibitions had to wait until the financial director Jin Qi calculated and redistributed them to the local governments. The Palaiologos dynasty, which seems to have unfolded to the present day, suddenly eliminated the possibility of a rebellion of the nobility at its roots - the new aristocracy became a symbolic class. Perhaps the family behind them will be honored for the promotion of someone to a certain official, but in reality, this will not bring any real benefit. The only person who really has the power to govern the place is someone appointed by the empire.

And when this group of new nobles reacted, they suddenly realized that the most basic principles that once restricted the entire Euro 6 feudal system had now been gradually broken by the imperial family. Originally, in the traditional feudal imperial state, there was an iron law that could not be changed - the vassals of my vassals were not my vassals. Within the empire, however, this restriction had gradually ceased to exist, and the royal family could rule directly over the localities, regardless of class. With the exception of Greece, Epirus, and Morea, which were directly designated by the empire to appoint nobles, in newly occupied areas of the empire, even if a local governor was dispatched, the empire could still directly bypass the governor to manage the local bureaucracy.

After the guards in the Supreme Court had finally dealt with the "ill-intentioned" nobles who had revolted, the meeting room was quiet again, and Jeffrey once again unhurriedly promulgated a new resolution of the Imperial Council.

"In addition to the changes in the agrarian system, and since the revolt had seriously affected the image and prestige of the Senate of the new Rome, His Majesty decreed that the Empire would send the relevant bureaucrats to rectify the new agrarian system and the professional union system within the next three years. The official opening of the new Senate Hall has been postponed for one year! ”

This was a relative compromise, and the reform of the agrarian system more or less harmed the interests of the new aristocracy. And a stick on each side is a better way to deal with it.

At the beginning of the establishment of the professional union, the empire did have a reason to regulate the entry threshold and work of its members, but in order to facilitate the promotion of the new system, it promised some excessive conditions to the people, and took advantage of this time to give the royal family a suitable reason to re-intervene.

Originally, according to the status given to the new senate by Constantine XI, there was no real status gap between the upper and lower ranks. The new Senate should actually also be a whole, offering some useful advice for the Empire. The involvement of the royal family in the Senate was also a wake-up call for the professional unions who seemed to be quite inflated and dared to clash head-on with the aristocracy.

As long as Valleoio remains seated on the Holy Seat, the Empire will regain everything that has been given to them at will.

This was supposed to be the first political lesson that Constantine XI gave to the young co-emperor.

"On both sides, do you have any opinions?"

Outside the Supreme Court, ordinary citizens have already quarreled into a pot of porridge. Although they did not understand much of the content of the new decree, they were quite sensitive to land-related matters.

The representatives of the new aristocracy and the silk trade unions, which were concerned with the core interests of both sides, fell silent at this time.

No matter how they fought among themselves, only the Valleologos royal family benefited in the end. The royal family used the aristocracy to restrain the professional unions, and suppressed the real power of the aristocracy so that the upper echelons could not threaten the core interests of the royal family. This bloodshed may have left the royal family and the Imperial Council at first, but in the end, the royal family, which controls the ultimate institution of violence, the military, is more than capable of playing everyone in the palm of their hands.

"If you don't have any opinions, the Registrar will take note of the meeting. The restructuring of the land system will also be implemented from today. Jeffrey, holding on to his crutches, stamped the edict of Constantine XI on a stone pillar engraved with Roman law.

This move also means that the change of the land system has become the most basic law of the empire. His sanctity and inviolability are the same as those of other foundational laws of the old days.

Everything seems to be as rehearsal, stunned, but incredibly smooth.
