Chapter 365 What is Preferential Treatment

"Count Hall, do you want to dominate the world?" a nobleman who could not be named by Feige stood up and accused, "You haven't explained clearly what you have to do with Count Kanter Hall's serious injury and the disappearance of His Majesty King Andrew Hall!

Feige gave him a blank look, then looked at the more aged nobles. They didn't care about the nonsense rumor that Feige killed his brother, and they didn't want to waste their time watching Feige fight with the rumors. Now the key is that this Earl of Hall has stepped up, and he wants to be king, so he should listen to the conditions he offers, and then decide whether to follow up.

"All the land was confiscated to the state, and the peasants were given land for cultivation on a leased basis. Now the land of the nobles will either be knocked down by me, or they will be redeemed by me if they choose to surrender. And then ......" Feige looked at the crowd: "Hey, why don't you get angry? I think I'm wrong? Are you all progressive patriots, and you can even talk about land ownership?"

"Okay, talk about it!" a nobleman ripped off his chest, a fine silver emblem inlaid with emeralds, of great value, but now being used as a throwing weapon, perhaps because he thought it would draw the power of the goddess to punish Feiqi, "You greedy madman! I will never give you the land that my ancestors knocked down! And your devil potatoes! Pull them all out and burn them! I want my land to step over my corpse!"

"Okay. Feige nodded. He reached out and took the female sacred emblem suspended in front of him in his hand. The emblem is carved with a statue of the goddess, who faces the world with her hands outstretched and a loving expression. Although this is the holy emblem of the goddess, it does not gain divine power from it, so it cannot penetrate his magic protection, and it is unsurprisingly blocked. Flashes of lightning erupted from his fingertips, altering the emblem to keep the image of the goddess in his memory, and then strapping it around his neck. "I'll give you five days to prepare, and I'll go to your house in five days. Or ......"

Feiqi dragged out a long speech, and just when everyone thought that there was a turning point in this matter, Feiqi said: "It's too troublesome to be a family, you can also form a coalition and make an appointment to solve this matter together." Wait, it's winter, it's not easy for you to march, or I'm still looking for it one by one?"

"Are you going to declare war on all of us? Count Hall, including the other families who have stood with the Hall family for many years, advancing and retreating together, and relying on each other for life and death?"

"I have no intention of killing everyone, I do not want to rule a no-man's country at all, and I welcome surrender. If you don't surrender, you can keep your own opinions, and you can not be 'in the same boat' as I call it, but I still have to do what I want. Otherwise, it should be a declaration of war, a battle on the battlefield. ”

Most are shaking their heads, and the rest are swaying back and forth in a state of panic and bewilderment. "Crazy, it's crazy! Why did the Hall family come up with this thing about you? You haven't changed at all, and you're still the scourge of women who only knew how to cause trouble and only ate poison and played with women!"

"No matter how much you try to comfort yourself by belittling me, you still have to find a way to solve me in the end. No matter how fierce you call me, you can't stop me from destroying your army. ”

"Why don't we get rid of you right here?"

"yes! I like the idea. Fei Qi smiled and said: "If you want to do it, come here, the battle between nobles to decide the victory is much more noble than letting others pay for their lives." Avoiding the fight of his subordinates is always a good thing. I welcome. ”

"Don't fall for him!

Unfortunately, someone blocked what could have been done with fewer deaths, much to Feige's disappointment. If you can stand up here, whether you come to the door to ask for surrender or a battle on the battlefield, it will become much easier. Now the situation has become that he stands alone on the steps of the throne, facing all the nobles at the bottom of the steps. It is this gesture that has led to misinterpretation.

"Count Hall, if you want to be king, we will support you, and don't be angry at the nonsense of those ignorant things. They disrespected the former queen, but they didn't disrespect the Hall family. It's business as usual, you see?"

"After the establishment of the state, there was only one army, and there were no more private armies and lords' armies. All titles of nobility lapped, and the government of the country was composed of meritocracious officials, no longer hereditary. Including writing, tools, roads, equipment, etc., all should be unified by the country, basic education should be popularized, and magic education should be developed......"

Feige continued to speak his thoughts in a sudden burst of noise. He didn't expect these things to be accepted by the nobles in front of him, he understood this kind of non-acceptance, understandable and permissible are two different things. In fact, from the beginning of the article "all land belongs to the state", the nobles have no room for compromise.

Land is the most important means of production in this era, the most important component of aristocratic assets, and irreplaceable. Without land, the aristocracy would have no income, and it would be impossible to organize armies and combat effectiveness, as was the case with all nobles, including the Hall family. However, from another point of view, it is not that it is impossible to farm without nobles, so nobles can be abandoned, but land is not.

There are many kinds of changes in the world, and there is also one kind of stunned youth, and it is estimated that everyone at that time regarded Feige in this way. Some forgive Feige as if he hadn't heard anything today, some want to reason with Old Earl Hall, and some begin to calculate how to solve the problem once and for all that affects the overall situation of stability. As a result, the stunned Qing himself spoke:

"Everyone is not busy in the winter, and the seeds are still sown in the spring, so it is better to solve this problem as soon as possible, preferably before the arrival of deep winter. When the king's army was mobilized, it took two weeks to complete the initial build-up, so I will give you fifteen days. Pick a place, and I'll accompany you. After that, I will go door-to-door to make sure you surrender and disarm. Now you can find a place to counsel for yourselves. After all, the persuasive power of war is well recognized. ”

"Destroyer of Order! Noble Scum!" An iron flask flew towards Feiqi, and like the previous emblem, it was stopped by spell protection, and could only float in midair. No weapons were allowed in the palace chambers, and the flask and emblem were probably their strongest equipment. Maybe the teeth could be a little stronger, and Feige really wanted to wait and see if someone would pounce on him and bite him, and he would admire that person very much. Wine jugs, there is nothing to admire.

He took the flask, and the heat in his hand was high, and the alloy of iron and tin began to melt, and the liquor exploded as it boiled. Feige was unmoved, and the nobles avoided it so as not to set themselves on fire. He said, "I guess you will try to find the Church of the Truth Thunder Goddess to intervene, or even bring the Thunder Army, and the Archbishop may really agree." But I wouldn't advise you to do that, and would see that as extending the war beyond the battlefield. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Feige shook his hand, cleaned up the liquid metal, and then replied very seriously: "You can think of this war as one of my families, challenge all families, you can think of me as arrogant, but this is still a noble battle, that means the battle is decided on the battlefield." Whoever involves the church at this time will act in reciprocity and expand the scope of the war. As for what does that mean? If anyone doesn't understand it, it can only mean that there is something wrong with their brains, and they are not qualified to be an opponent or an ally. ”

The nobles in the audience looked at each other, and none of them wanted the situation to be chaotic to this extent, but each family had already planned for the chaos, so they would not panic. When Aria was seriously injured and was about to die, didn't they think about using force to measure their strength and weakness, and then strive for more benefits? If it weren't for the Hall, Sia, and other families to take the lead in uniting and taking the lead with the advantage of strength, wouldn't this fight have started a long time ago? Now it is actually even better than that time, and the Hall family has become the target of everyone, whether it is the process of everyone uniting or the process of eliminating the Hall family later, it is enough for the family to intrigue and use their own means.

One after another, some people left, but a few remained. They each dragged their chairs from the corner, creaking and rattling all the way, until they finally sat down across from Feige. Feige looked at them, they were all very old, at least half of them had gray hair, and he didn't know any of them.

They sat down, rubbing their beards, or tapping their knees, all in a relaxed and relaxed way. Feiqi looked at them for a moment, then nodded, and said, "First of all, I allow you to keep your position at first, but the deadline is for me to come to your door after I have decided it with them on the battlefield." After this period, there is no discount. ”

One of the old men nodded and said, "Count Hall, we are not optimistic about you either, but the wisdom of the nobles lies in standing on the side of the victor, watch more, listen more, beep less, and don't hang yourself on a tree." It seems that Kanter Hall has not forgotten to teach you this truth, which is what we want to hear, in fact, you know. ”

Fei Qi nodded, and then said: "You are concerned about the interests of your own family, you want to see which method is the safest and safest, and even want to bet on both sides." I guess you think that even if I win, I will need enough men to run this country, and you will still have a place in it. ”

"Yes, somebody has to take care of it. ”

"You can get twice the ransom price of those who surrender, and keep the largest castle of your respective families and the land five hundred meters out of the walls. If this area includes rivers, then the area of occupation cannot exceed the median line of the river, and the missing area is filled in other directions. My request is also very simple: don't send a single soldier to join the coalition, and there is a deadline to be adhered to. ”

"It's not a good condition. Several people frowned in unison. "I think you're too confident in yourself and don't seem to need other people's help at all. You may be strong on your own, but you have enough to wipe out any advantage. Just because you can defeat an elite team sent by an elf doesn't mean you can defeat an entire noble coalition. ”

"I know you have this suspicion, so I allow you to watch the battle and make a decision. Now it is clear that I don't need you so badly, but you desperately want to know the answers. Again, you are willing to send money, food, and weapons to strengthen the coalition army, which is casual, but don't send people. It is not easy for people to be born and survive, and it is good to die less. ”

"If you are willing to die less, then you still decide to take the royal power in the form of war?!"

"yes, is there any contradiction in that?"

An old man stood up, holding his chair in his hand, panting incessantly. "Listen to you, live more than ten years less! Are you afraid that you deliberately want to us off here?"

Feige laughed, and the laughter had never been so presumptuous and cheerful in the king's chamber, and the crowd looked at him in amazement. After a while, he waved his hand, stopped laughing, and then said, "The magic teleportation array makes a lot of money every year, and this is like a mill tax, except that your lords' mill tax comes from wheat, and my mill tax comes from bulk commodities. In the future, the magic teleportation array is a necessary configuration that the Great Chamber of Commerce cannot do without, without it, there will be no competitiveness, and sooner or later it will be eliminated. Do you understand that?"

The crowd nodded. Using the analogy of the mill, which they all know, it is clear that the magic teleportation array is a disguised business tax.

"There are many more of these types, I can use magic to unify minerals, smelting, manufacturing, I can divert water from any lake, to water any arid field. I can let the flood water go straight into the ocean and protect the wheat seedlings behind the embankment. I can make the fish thousands of miles away still alive when they arrive in your kitchen. I can have fire and fire, and ice and ice. I can use magic to crush anything that the current nobility is proud of. Swords, horses, armor, I don't need these things, I just need people. ”

"I need people, and then I will improve everyone's abilities, even if they are forced to rise, until they can resist the Scarlet Meteor, this is my first stage. In the second stage, I want to let the second world that released the blood-colored meteor taste the bitter fruit, so that it can no longer threaten the Yongli Continent! When this is done, the current nobles will only be remembered as an artistic image, and will no longer be envied. ”

"As for the third stage and beyond, I don't think you will live to that time, and I will remain young, and I will continue to be like this for the next few decades, or even a hundred or two hundred years from now. I notice that your eyes widen and you know what you're thinking, but you shouldn't have time to learn. "All the benefits that were previously made will be pooled at the national level and used throughout the country," Feige said. Those who have contributed to the country should share in the profits. Magic will have its most important part, and loyalty, stability, and achievement will have its part. ”

"I used to show my magic in the jousting arena for the nobles watching the battle. You can think that this time it's just a little bigger, a little more crazy, a little more expensive. Do you think the conditions are not very good? I let you see the results before you bet, what are the bad conditions? Also, if you haven't even placed a bet, why should you tell me about the conditions?"

Feige still didn't show any intention of asking for anyone, which was indeed unexpected by a few old nobles. They did, however, hear what they wanted to know, and understand that there was a huge stake behind Feige, and there was value in betting. They then said they would not send any soldiers, but they could not decide before the battle was decided. Feige nodded, then reached out and shook them one by one, indicating that this was an agreement of the noble level.

After they were gone, Baron Goode, financial advisor, and Sir Mercers, intelligence advisor, came to the council chamber and burned the certificate of descent and title symbolizing their nobility in front of Feige, pledged their allegiance, and first addressed him as "my king".

"Wait until you win before changing your name, and you won't necessarily use the word king. ”
