Even with the reciting of everyone's name and the addition of a sentence, the ceremony of dividing the viscount lasted for a full two hours.

Coupled with the previous knight parade, dragon exhibition ceremony and king's speech, seeing that the time has come to ten o'clock in the morning, the process of the founding ceremony on the palace square has been completed, and it has begun to be transferred to the Sun, Moon and Star Palace, and the next count and marquis have begun.

There is not much difference from the ceremonial process of dividing viscounts, barons, and lords.

It's just that every earl and marquis is a lot more verbose individually, so the twenty-one marquis and sixty-four earls also rushed to complete the sealing ceremony before noon.

"The Flame Kingdom is newly established, and the founding nobles are not only lords, barons, viscounts, counts, and marquises, but also three dukes. William Tulip, Duke of Tulip Island, Piero Grey Iron, Duke of Indus, and Brubossi, Duke of Saltwater Sea, who was unable to attend the ceremony. ”

Liszt presided over the morning of separation, his mouth was dry and distraught, and the excitement and agitation of the earlier time had been consumed.

But he was still strong and completed the last part of the ceremony: "There will be separate partitions for the three dukes on a certain day, and now that it is time for luncheon, please join me." ”

The luncheon was held in the main hall of the royal palace.

All the nobles participated in the feast together, except that the upper nobles and the envoys of various countries gathered together, the middle nobles got together, and the lower nobles got together. There is no such thing as equality for all, and the hierarchy under the knighthood is so strict, but no one complains.

On the contrary, the lower nobles will only be extremely envious and eager to squeeze into the circle of the upper nobles.

The knightly class has always been synonymous with forge ahead - at least in the nascent kingdom of flames, the knights have not yet decayed and are still forging ahead.

......

The mighty founding ceremony ended perfectly with the end of the luncheon, but the impact of the ceremony quickly spread from within.

The nobles of the fief have already left the island of fire and headed for their fiefdoms with the serfs and followers they have already allocated.

In particular, a group of high-ranking nobles took away a large number of serfs, and the population of Flame Island suddenly plummeted from five million to three million. Of these, two million were Liszt's direct vassals, and the remaining one million were the vassals of the Lockdown nobles, who did not have the right to divide the feuds, but could support the knights.

The Lockdown Aristocrats, the knights of the Burning Legion, have taken over the jurisdiction of many cities.

But there are many more cities, still under Liszt's name, and after losing a large number of people, these cities need a lot of people to replenish all walks of life.

In the era of automation and industrialization, population is the most important labor force.

As soon as Liszt was excited, he was entangled in a large number of kingdom affairs, and he formed a cabinet and cabinet, and there were still many decisions that he needed to decide.

"Your Majesty......"

"Father, you should call me Liszt, we don't need to consider the title of king between father and son. "Liszt is, after all, an earthling, and cannot adapt to the relationship of a father becoming a follower of his son—even if he knows that this happened in ancient China.

I vaguely remember whether the Qing Dynasty was still the Ming Dynasty.

There was an emperor who had no son, so he adopted a child from the royal family as an heir.

After the child inherited the throne, he also had a mighty struggle with the ministers because he couldn't handle the relationship with his biological father.

Fortunately, the Flame Kingdom was created by Liszt, and he set the rules however he wanted.

William Lee smiled with satisfaction, even though he didn't bother to bow down to his son—this was nothing under the knightly system.

However, Liszt's gesture made him quite satisfied and proud: "Liszt, now that the fiefdom nobles have moved out, the Flame Island is about to fall into the trouble of population shortage. ”

"What is the handling of the outer cabinet?"

"The Outer Cabinet discussed several times and did not make a decision, but it was summed up that there were two ways to deal with it. The first option is to suspend the new city plan, stabilize the already developed cities, and wait for the population to increase before considering the construction of the new city. The second option was to immediately launch a war to raid the population and plunder it. ”

Li Szt thought for a moment and did not respond directly, but asked, "To what extent has the joint plan with the Iron Ridge Kingdom been carried out?"

William Li shook his head and replied a little helplessly: "Although the Iron Ridge Royal Family has decided to cooperate with our country to carve up the Eagle Kingdom, the specific details and benefit distribution plan cannot be finalized in a short period of time. ”

"Contact King Osborne directly, and ask him to urge his nobles that the war should be sooner rather than later, and not give the Eagle Kingdom a chance to react. ”

"Osborne is a man of great courage and eloquence, but in fact he is a man of foresight. According to the information sent back by the Blood Servants from the Iron City, Osborne met several times to discuss, and the ministers quarreled back and forth, but there was still no concrete result. ”

"It's really a waste, rotten wood can't be carved......" Liszt couldn't help but scold, "I am the leader of the dragon slaying battle, the knight charge is led by him, and then the Eagle Kingdom is halved, no matter how simple the arithmetic problem is, it also needs to be considered for so long...... It's been more than a year since you planned it, right?"

"It's been a year and a half, and the plan was finalized by the Iron Ridge Kingdom that I personally sent to envoy. William Lee said.

"It's really procrastinating, if it weren't for the fact that my knights weren't enough to annex the entire Eagle Kingdom, I would have taken my dragon and went straight to the door. This sentence does not belong to bragging, he is already an invincible existence at the level of the dragon knight, but his strength is too weak.

It is too risky to annex the Eagle Kingdom alone with the Kingdom of Flames.

It is possible to face not only the Eagle Kingdom, but also the Steel Ridge and the Blast Furnace Castle, and even several other surrounding kingdoms - it is difficult to say that the Eagle Kingdom will not ask for help, after all, the Eagle Royal Family once revealed the news of the Holy Dragon to the Kushan Empire, and anything could happen in a hurry.

Pull up the Iron Ridge Kingdom, and then divide a group of interests to appease the surrounding kingdoms, so as to successfully swallow the Eagle Kingdom.

William Li suddenly said: "Liszt, there is one thing that is worth discussing, the appearance of the eight-headed dragon at the founding ceremony...... I'm afraid that as your deterrence increases, the Iron Ridge royal family is likely to give up on cooperating. ”

"Father, you mean, it's possible that Osborne was frightened by the speed of my dragon ride?"

"Yes, you rode the Divine Dragon, you rode the Fire Dragon, you rode the Magic Metal Dragon, and now you have ridden the Water Dragon, and it's only been a few years...... Every time you have an extra dragon, the three kingdoms will be more jealous of you, and I am more worried that the three kingdoms are likely to have secretly begun to unite. ”

"Are there any signs?"

"Not yet, but I don't dare to rule out the possibility. ”

Liszt frowned, this possibility is indeed not impossible. If he were the king of the three kingdoms, he would be very jealous of himself. The royal families of the three kingdoms have accumulated hundreds of thousands of years to gather so many or a dozen dragons, and it only took him a few years to do so.

Thinking of this, he sighed with a slight review: "It seems that I am indeed too high-profile, next time I ride a dragon, I should keep it on an uninhabited island, and it should not be exposed too much." ”

The Duke of Tulip Island, who was on the side, pretended not to care, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
