Feige escorted Count Valen and Dart out of the dungeon, and the people who were robbing did not know His Majesty the Emperor, but they all knew Valen, who had managed the land for many years. When he appeared, the crowd became even more panicked, clutching the items in their hands and fleeing at a faster speed, not forgetting to report their location with constant screams.

"Your Majesty, I think these are people from the village, and they must have seen that the castle was in chaos so they came to get things, and it is not the first evil, so don't kill them. ”

Fei Qi nodded: "You are the owner, if you don't pursue it, then I can't interfere directly." But I see that your management skills are very average, your own children have imprisoned your father, and your own villagers have robbed the lord. You look at them, you know that you have seen them, but they still don't want to put down what they are holding. A couple of plates, a tablecloth, and lo and behold, there's a guy running away with a chair on his head - he's running really fast. ”

Count Valen smiled bitterly and said, "These people don't understand anything, so you can laugh." ”

"If you don't understand it, you'll understand that gold and silver are valuable things, but your sons and knights are quicker and leave them with no chance. Fei Qi shook his head and said, "You see they don't understand anything, but I think they are still too poor, and they don't wear as strong as your tablecloth, and even the people who value the pottery plate very much are probably lacking in the soil." There is a saying that poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and some places are indeed the natural environment is bad, but some places are made by people to make the environment bad. ”

Feige walked out with Varen's grandson and grandson, and a reckless guy rushed over with a suitcase, probably he didn't see the road ahead. "Be careful!" Dart hurriedly reminded, and then he saw His Majesty's right hand shake, and the reckless man fell because of the greasy area that suddenly appeared under his feet. The box slammed into his own head, knocking him unconscious, and the box opened to reveal a full load of clothes.

"Dart, go see if there's any of your proper clothes inside, we'll have to wait here for the team anyway. "Feige and Valen stood at the castle gates, so that they could look out and protect the child. "Valen, my people will come over in a while, you give them a detailed description of the local situation, and take over the affairs here, and I will ask them to find someone to escort you to Tawu Port City. I asked Xia Ni to come forward to settle a few of you nobles who had returned ahead of schedule, and arranged a residence not far from Xia Qi Manor. The Golden Dragon Egg is a priceless treasure in the Yongli Continent, and I know that he is very precious, but I can only give you a discount of 20,000 gold coins. Are you willing to take the money, or are you willing to invest it to earn a fortune for your grandson in the future?"

Count Valen may not have much to do with people and rule, but he is very sensitive when it comes to money. Even though he knows that he doesn't have much capital to negotiate right now, he prefers to continue to be careful and cautious about every penny. "Your Majesty, the two of us will definitely need some money to live on in the short term, but I would also like to hear what this investment is? ”

"The United Kingdom of Hoya is too poor, and there are no developed and rich countries in the entire Yongli Continent, but in my Levi Magic Empire, this status quo must be completely changed. If you want to increase the power of the empire, you must make investments, including building bridges, roads, water conservancy, education, and magic, so I will set up an agency under the treasury to handle this. ”

"Your Majesty, it is generally believed that ...... I mean, most ordinary people think that building roads is a loss of money, so why have you been so persistent? Since the time of Minas Ishir, building roads and planting potatoes have become your labels. Is there any money to be made in this kind of thing?"

"It's hard to make a profit, it's very hard. But in terms of improving national capacity and total wealth, it is very simple. "The only way to make this kind of thing profitable is to make the people of the country rich, to make the country strong, and then to make it profitable," Feige said. And this requires an organization that is representative of the whole country and all its citizens. The aristocracy will not succeed, so I will weed out the entire aristocracy. ”

Fitch looked at Count Valen, and after some deliberation, decided to try to convince him. Feige argues that, unlike other submissive nobles, Günter Valen and his grandsons have no family or subordinates, and that they must rely on themselves more closely than anyone else. If he can be persuaded to understand his philosophy, the Valen family will be in a position to transform the old nobles and knights so that they can serve the new empire. In any case, it is much better to let these guys who have been "eliminated" by themselves have serious things to do than to let them become robbers according to their instincts.

"Andrew is going to build a King's Road from Port Tower to Feinberg, passing through our Hall family's manor, castle and lighthouse collar, and Eddie is in charge of that. First, this can greatly strengthen the cohesion of the United Kingdom of Hoya, second, if there is something wrong with Feinberg or the western border, the main force of the kingdom can rush to help, and third, it can improve transportation capacity, prosper commerce, and collect taxes. It was a matter of earning money, and it was ordered by the king to give money from the treasury, but it only repaired the section from the city of Tawu Harbor to our Hale family estate. ”

"Every lord in the territory along the way is against this, either explicitly or implicitly, because they don't want to have a road in their territory that allows Andrew's army to enter quickly. Eddie was right, she thought that these nobles would want to live in the jungle, and that they would only feel safe if the locals knew about the sheep trail could enter. Tell me, with such a nobleman, will the entire Hoya Noble United Kingdom become stronger, or will it return to the primitive, and everyone will go up the mountain to hunt?"

Count Valen's face twitched slightly, he actually belonged to the "aristocrats" who had little interest in building roads. Fei Qi did not reveal it, and continued: "In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that what the cavalry can reach in one day is called the area in the palm of the hand, the area that can be reached in three days is the area on the back of the hand, the area that can be reached in ten days is the range that can be reached by the arm, the area that cannot be reached in a month is the area that is difficult to manage, and the area that cannot be reached in half a year is almost difficult to manage, and it must be managed by someone. It is because everybody understands this that they adopt the same criterion: they can arrive in one or three days, and make it as difficult as possible for others to reach them, so as to ensure their own rule. ”

"This situation has to end, and it's time to end. Fei Qi said: "You all know that I can teleport, I can go anywhere in the Yongli Continent in an instant, according to the previous theory, the whole world is within the range of my hand, the only question is whether I have enough combat power to hold my hand." Now that this has been proven, then I have to start building my palms. At the beginning of the palace, the nobles called me arrogant, but in essence, my hands were too big, beyond their imagination. Now, if someone is finally able to unify and coordinate all the forces within the scope of one hand, and the fragmentary obstructive forces are removed, and the obstacles that are only wasteful are removed, then it will be profitable to build infrastructure such as roads and bridges. ”

"At the same time, magic will be the next place to create wealth, and it can do a lot of very amazing things. Minas Ihir has been able to develop, the fresh-keeping freezer I have created with magic has played an important role, and the commercial teleportation circle has proven that magic can produce steady profits. Eating fresh fish is never difficult in Tawu Harbor City, and in the future, ordinary people in Feinberg and even more inland areas will be able to eat the same fresh fish, how good it is!"

Count Valen was a little unable to keep up with Feich's train of thought, and he asked, "But why do the people there eat fish from the sea?"

Hearing this, Feige clenched his fists and furrowed his eyebrows. Why do ordinary people eat fish, and if they are in the hinterland, they won't have this kind of demand? A country without circulation, just like a person whose blood is clotted, is either a zombie or a dead corpse, and it will certainly not be able to jump around alive. Count Valen had enough to eat and drink, and he had not only clay plates, but also porcelain, silver, and gold, and all kinds of food contained in them, so naturally he didn't have to think about how the people below lived. Maybe in his opinion, as long as the people below are alive and continue to farm for him, there is no need to worry about the rest.

The aristocracy would never take the initiative to make the inhabitants of their territory richer, and "why do they eat fish" is not a problem with their thinking ability, but the direction of their thinking. Feige can actually answer this question very simply, that is, one punch over, knock him down, and he will think. But if you think about it again, isn't this the reason why the feudal nobles should be eliminated?

He loosened his fist to calm his mood, and then said, "You can't just eat potatoes, right? Potatoes are well adaptable, and they have an advantage in current yield, as long as you pay attention to good storage, you can indeed avoid famine." But people always have to have pursuits, and in addition to potatoes, they also want bread, and when they eat vegetable soup, they also want broth. If everyone has the desire to live a better life and work hard to achieve it, the country will be strong. ”

"The Goddess taught us that greed is depraved. Your Majesty, greedy citizens will affect your rule, and they can easily turn into looters and empty your castle. Of course, they can't influence you, and your power is unmatched. ”

Valen is outspoken, he will say whatever comes to mind, and in the end he knows how to make up for it, so he is no stranger to this path at all. "The goddess has said a lot, and if I were to take just a few words, I could have interpreted the same thing differently. The standard of greed or not is not set by the mouth of the church, but by looking at specific things. I've seen the Goddess, she is very flexible in dealing with things, she is tolerant of me as a mischievous person, treating me according to my actions rather than my origins, and strangely the church never does that, and it seems that they don't want to do it either. Alas, I hope the church will change with the times. ”

In addition to the aristocracy, the church is actually an obstacle to the realization of Feige's ideals, but this obstacle can still be saved, and it can still be turned into a favorable factor, and it is not at all necessary to eradicate it. The Divine Kingdom of the Goddess still protects the spatial boundaries of the Yongli Continent, and the continuous power of faith is the necessary energy for the maintenance of the Kingdom of God, which requires stable believers and organized faith activities, which is where the value of the church lies. I hope that the current archbishop will not make subversive mistakes, otherwise Feige will not be merciful. It's just that his heart doesn't want to see the church of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder destroyed.

"It's hard to change churches, but it's not too hard to change bishops. Many nobles were donors of the church, and they all had good relations with a particular bishop, which could improve the attitude of the church to a certain extent. Your Majesty, I can take the lead from this and let the newborn Levi ...... The Magic Empire quickly got on good terms with the Church. ”

Feige wanted to sigh, it turned out that in the hearts of these nobles, the church was still the strongest, and he was still weak. This Valen, who is not interested in building a country and has no initiative, should think that this empire belongs to Feige Hale and has little to do with him. But this is not the case with the church, where there are benefits, rights, and protection. In particular, the phrase "the goddess taught us ......" is just another meaning of "I'll tell you ......" as long as you read enough books.

"It will be the world of men, not God. People are responsible for themselves, for others, and for the world. I will handle the relationship with the church myself, and I don't need other leaders. Feige decided to give Count Valen one last chance: "It's a bit far from the original topic, we were going to talk about 20,000 gold coins, how did we talk about the church?

Count Valen gritted his teeth vigorously and said, "Your Majesty, the two of us are enemies without relatives, and we need to use money to support ourselves. I am willing to invest two thousand ...... Five thousand gold coins to go to this guild. ”

Feige was about to nod his head in disappointment when he heard Dart Wallen say, "Your Majesty, Grandpa is talking about his half of the money, and I have half of it here, all of which I put in, a total of fifteen thousand gold coins." If you get the five thousand gold coins in your hand, you will still live in the place you arranged in Tawu Port City, and you will definitely be safe enough to eat and drink. ”

"Huh?" Count Valen was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed the slight smile that had just appeared on Feiqi's face, and he couldn't help but shudder. He suddenly figured out a lot of joints, and while enduring the sweat, he decided to make a final test: "Your Majesty, what my grandson said is very right. I was still thinking that the two of us would not be able to maintain this castle, so we could sell it at a discount and participate in the social project management committee. Or I rent it out and invest the annual rent as well. ”

"No, I don't. Fifteen thousand gold coins is already a lot. Fei Qi shook his head: "All the nobles who surrendered in advance invested a maximum of 10,000 gold coins in this management committee, and I decided to make an exception because of the two of you." The shares will be gradually diluted and redeemed, and without other contributions, there will be no shares in a hundred years. So you...... I mean, little Dart, you still have to work hard to develop and continue your family, and don't go into obscurity after a hundred years. ”

Dart nodded vigorously, not knowing if he really understood, or if he was too spiritual and lucky. In short, the Count of Valen hugged him hard and thanked him for his improvisation.

It wasn't long before the team's team of nearly fifty men approached, and their banners and horses collided with the raiders who were evacuating down the hill, dispersing them directly. Feige uses magic to shoot a red firework into the sky, which is a signal that the castle security comes directly to receive it. It will be up to the Working Group to take over the area once and for all, as they will have to deal with the inhabitants who are in a state of agitation, as well as the old aristocracy that may be on the move at any time. Of course, Feige will be there for them at all times, and the Knights of Hell will be a strong safeguard for the working group.

The redistribution of the fields is even more secure.
