"You must be thinking, you're magicians, why do you want to know knights, right?" asked Vivien, but before Yu Wuming could speak, she added, "Your teacher does understand this, he is not from a wizard's family, but a knight's family, so don't be surprised. ”

Yu Wuming nodded, in fact, how could he not know that he had experience in two lifetimes, but he didn't agree with the existing aristocratic system. Sure enough, Vivien immediately asked, "Then tell me, how are the nobles behaving now?"

"I just came down from the mountains and don't know much yet. ”

"It's okay, just tell me what you saw and heard after you came down the mountain. ”

"This society has a lot of respect for the aristocracy, but it shouldn't be from the heart, there should be a big contradiction between the commoners and the nobles, if the mercenaries and the nobles conflict, the commoners are more willing to help the mercenaries. Yu Wuming thought about it and said.

"You...... Where did you feel that? That little bastard?"

"It can be said that after all, a microcosm of society can often be seen from these low-level people. If ordinary people can't get along, they won't come out to mix with society. And among those people just now, a small half of them still have a little bit of conscience flashing in their eyes, but you don't notice it. ”

"You watch carefully, go on. ”

"Well, let's put it another way, from the aristocratic point of view, one thing is certain, some nobles have degenerated, they regard the privileges of the nobility as they should, and they no longer have the glory and consciousness of being nobles, these people have destroyed the aristocratic system and have become moths in society, but most of them still guard the glory and virtue of the nobility. ”

"That's right, most of the nobles are still good!"

"But as long as there is a piece of garbage that does something that endangers a class, and this thing is not stopped in time, and the people of the same class around him report their thoughts of watching the excitement, what will happen?"

"......" Vivien was silent, she had never thought about this, she felt that as long as she was doing right, standing upright, it would be fine.

"When the punishment for crime is negligible, and there is a large number of people watching and not stopping it, what will it be? When people find that the cost of crime is very low, but those who abide by the law will suffer, will people still accept the law?"

Yu Wuming took a bite of food and continued: "If both sides are civilians, then it would be good for me to fight back, but what if one side is a nobleman? The difference in class makes the commoners can only swallow their anger, and over time, the commoners will naturally complain more and more about the nobles, until one day, this kind of resentment will break through the sky, and the commoners will rise up against the nobles!"

"This can't be, right?" Vivien looked at Yu Wusheng in surprise.

"Nothing impossible, this kind of thing has happened countless times in the history of my hometown!" Before Vivien could say, he said: "As soon as I came down the mountain, I encountered some things that were not good for the aristocratic system, such as Jack of the aristocratic management office, and the doorman of this hotel, all of whom treated the commoners with a dog's eye and looked down on people, and you can think of the huge gap between the nobles and the commoners in ordinary times.

There are also the bad deeds of the nobles revealed by the words of those gangsters, if it weren't for the fact that this noble title could bring me a little benefit, I don't want it, because this class may collapse at any time, as long as there is a little spark!" Yu Wuming thought about the various encounters in the past half a day, and his face showed a look of disgust.

"It's just a handful of scum in the aristocracy, you can't think it's the whole aristocratic class!"

"All men are created equal, why did the emperor create the aristocratic system? It is to commend the contributions made by those ancestors who threw their heads and spilled their blood for the empire, not for those descendants to squander, the nobles have some privileges, that is because those ancestors sacrificed most of their power for the empire, not innately, and the common people respect the nobles for this reason, but now these nobles are a group of leeches lying on the merits of the ancestors. ”

Of course, it is impossible for Yu Wuming to clearly understand the defects of the nobility just by taking a little time to go down the mountain, but in another world, there are countless aristocratic incidents in the East and West, and there are countless things that finally bring down a country.

"I have to say, you onlookers see better than us, so what do you say should be done?" the girl began to get serious.

"Reducing the privileges of the nobles, and wanting to enjoy the original privileges is to make enough contributions, such as abolishing the noble gold system, the nobles have territories, and the output of the territories should be enough for them to survive. ”

"Wait a minute, not all nobles have territories. The girl corrected a little misunderstanding of Yu Wusheng.

"Oh, in this way, then cancel the noble gold of those nobles with territories, you see, those nobles with territories are much higher than those without territories, which makes those nobles without territories unable to live, and those with territories are spending all day drinking, but it is those nobles without territories who have the most aristocratic virtues!"

"Are you talking about yourself?" Vivian smiled, and when she saw that Yu Wusheng was about to speak again, she hurriedly asked, "Then, what about the taxes of those territories?" Now the empire has taxes in those places, and if the nobility fee is abolished, those lords may not pay taxes. ”

Depending on the amount of tax paid, a partial tax refund will be given. Of course, the current system of deducting part of the aristocratic gold is good because of poor management, and if the aristocratic gold system cannot be completely abolished, it is also good to increase the deduction. ”

"Makes sense, do you have any other ideas?"

"Yes, for example, why do the nobles only rise and not demotion? It is good to give them hereditary succession, why should they be given the original title? This should also widen the gap.

For example, if the hereditary original title is not at fault, there will be no more than two generations, and the third generation will begin to downgrade the title. If you want to maintain your title, you must have immortal merit. In wartime, it is naturally a war achievement, and in peacetime, the territory is developed, and the scale of the territory is developed, and what kind of title is enjoyed. There are also inventions, inventions that can indeed improve the standard of living of the people, and they can also maintain the title, and even increase the title. ”

"It's creative, keep going, don't stop. Seeing that Yu Wuxian stopped, the girl hurriedly urged.

"What's the use of talking to you? Although you are a duke, do you have real power?" Yu Wuming squinted at Vivian, and when he saw her like this, he knew that she was a girl from a good family, and when she had had enough, she went home and continued to be a female celebrity, waiting for her to get married.

"Why not?" Vivien immediately realized that she had taken the wrong word, and immediately said: "Although I have no real power, but my father is a real power person, I will sort out everything you say and hand it over to my father, as long as it is feasible, then you will ...... immediately"

Vivian didn't say anything, but Yu Wusheng naturally knew what would happen to him, not to mention the high-ranking officials, but it could also be an abyss.

Looking at the dishes on the table, they were almost finished, and Vivien said, "Are you full?"

"Full!"

"Waiter, come and put away the table, and make a pot of fine black tea. The girl shouted at the waiter in the distance.

After a while, the table had been cleaned up, and a pot of fine black tea was served, and Vivian personally poured a cup of tea for Yu Wuming and said, "Come, moisten your throat." ”

Yu Wuming took a sip of tea and continued: "Now in addition to the two titles of emperor and prince of the royal family, there are five titles in total: duke, hou, earl, son, and male, and it takes six generations for a duke's title to be reduced to a commoner, which is not a short time, but if a baron wants to be lowered, it will be very fast, in this way, this baronial family will desperately serve the empire in order to keep their own title, which is very beneficial to the country and the family." ”

"Yes, but down to the commoners, these nobles always have to have ideas in their hearts, right?"

"It doesn't matter, you can add another honorary title, which can be hereditary in perpetuity, but does not enjoy the main privileges of nobility, such as noble gold. Some minor perks, such as priority promotions, can be retained, such as knighthood, which will not be a profession and can be listed as a knighthood. ”

"Very well, so that the face of the declining aristocracy is preserved. The girl nodded: "Wouldn't this be too strict?" ”

"Then it would be good to cancel some untimely punishments, such as the article that the coat of arms and the parchment must be kept at the same time in order to retain the title, which can be abolished, and it can be changed to the title can be determined by any one of the certificates, and if one is lost, it can be supplemented with the same certificate. ”

"Will there be a fraud?" the girl asked.

"That's for sure, now part of the proof is in the hands of those noble servants, these people come to impersonate it is an open secret, at this time the noble administration has work to do, they have to check, from the file to the visit, can stipulate a series of processes, if a servant who impersonates the name of the master can even mix these things, it means that this servant is indeed more suitable than the master to be a nobleman, give him a knight's title, or even a higher title? Put them in the aristocracy, and they will contribute to the maintenance of this system!"

"That's great!" Vivian was very excited, she didn't want to sit here and drink tea anymore, she stood up and said to Yu Wuming, "I'm so happy today, let's go out for a walk!"

This, this can't be an invitation for a date, right? Yu Wuming was actually stunned, he and Xiaowei had hardly gone shopping alone at night!

When the two walked out of the hotel gate, they saw several children under the age of 10 suddenly rushing past them and plunging into the alley next to them, shouting: "Hurry, hurry, there is something delicious today!"
