William couldn't help but look at Vidal's words, he had followed him the longest, and he knew his policies and ideas very clearly. x

It was also a good choice to strengthen the rule by canonizing a small number of nobles, and in this world and era where centralized power was absolutely impossible, it was already William's limit to keep the nobility without allowing them to expand their power.

"Hmm...... Yours are right, do you have any suggestions? All one! ”

William groaned, he still intended to listen to the others' opinions.

The others didn't have much of an opinion either, after all, Vidal knew the most about it, and as a court baron, he also had the right to participate in politics.

At this moment, Norwen, who had been silent, spoke, and he said worriedly: "But...... William, wouldn't this make the nobles revolt? We're okay, but if we recruit nobles again, or if we recruit nobles, they'll all be dissatisfied with this way! ”

"When the time comes, not only will we be desperately counterattacked by the enemy nobles and will not surrender, but even the nobles below us will not be loyal, maybe they will be forced to maintain their superficial loyalty due to your strength, but they will definitely rebel as soon as they have the opportunity, just like the six nobles before!"

Norwen said in a worried tone, he was afraid that his words would not be listened to by William, and continued: "Aren't the three nobles who are now tied up by us the best example? They all admit that they have been plotting their rebellion for a long time, and the reason is because William, you have banned their rights, even if you have made up for them with money, but this cannot offset their hatred for you! ”

Noven's words were getting so serious that he didn't even notice it, and his tone was already shouting.

After this, Norwen let out a breath, and only then did he realize what he had done, shouting like this to William in front of so many people.

I only heard him say with a little guilt: "I'm sorry, Lord Earl, I was rude, but I hope you can think about these words, this is about our future and the rule of you and your family." ”

After hearing this, William didn't think about it, he just thought that as long as he could maintain his strength, then he could always suppress them and make them dare not betray.

However, after Noven's words, William suddenly regretted his previous thoughts.

Really, the territorial jurisdiction, the right to judge, the payment of taxes to 30%, and the military restrictions, but also to limit the service time of the nobles, and the selection of their heirs, these have to be decided by William, which is really too much for them, these orders are all implemented, then they basically have no control over the territory, which is equivalent to indirectly depriving them of their territory.

Just imagine, if you can't even designate the heir of a piece of territory, what is the difference between a family and extinction, if William insists on appointing an idiot as the head of the family, that family will definitely not be able to avoid decline, it is really to go with my prosperity and die against me.

In this way, the rebellion of those nobles is of course logical, what is the use of William's monetary compensation, that money cannot even be used to arm and expand the army, William has strict requirements for these.

They can only spend the money on food and clothing, but although these low-level nobles may not be as good as the big nobles all day long, there is still no shortage of ordinary delicacies, and they care more about the interests and prosperity of their own families.

William's approach undoubtedly touched their bottom line, and it was of course natural to be rebelled.

Thinking of this, William realized that his previous method of relying on strength to suppress the nobles below would not work.

If during the war, the two sides are equal in strength, and the nobles on William's side rebel, then the balance of the war will instantly tilt towards the other side.

While thinking about it, William felt more and more terrible, he felt that he should change his method, and he said to the people present: "We will discuss this matter next time, Norwen's is indeed very correct, I want to think about it, Vidal, you first say that our official reserve should first try to tilt to where Issamdenburg is, and implement effective rule over there as soon as possible!" ”

"Well......" William thought for a moment, and then continued, "Then move some of the inhabitants of Issamdenburg to Dodenenburg, and then some of the inhabitants of Niangdenenburg to Essamdenburg, and do a good job of propaganda, and let them know who is worthy of their allegiance, and who can make them live a good life!" ”

After hearing this, Vidal said respectfully: "Yes, my lord! I'll do it right away! ”

"Well, very well, in terms of justice, didn't you also train a group of people when you were in the town of Kthoros, if there is no problem in terms of loyalty to me, go and let them serve in Isamdenburg!"

"Rest assured, Lord Count, their loyalty to you is unquestionable!"

"Very well, go ahead and do it! The judicial talents you have cultivated in Denglenburg should also be well cultivated! ”

After this, William went on to say to Vidal: "The militia system must be implemented as soon as possible, and the first thing to ensure is the loyalty of the militia to me and the Wallace family!" In terms of combat effectiveness, you can slow down for a while, remember! When the time comes, I will talk about the disabled veterans and hand them over to you, and they can be instructors! ”

William has always treated the disabled soldiers very well, not only can he choose one of pensions and tax deductions, but he can also serve as a militia instructor in the village, so he can have no worries.

This is one of the reasons why the Denglenburg infantry was able to maintain a strong combat effectiveness.

"Well, this matter has been discussed, Vidal, prepare me some silver coins before dealing with the matter of Issamdenburg, and I will personally visit the wounded soldiers, and give them pensions, and those meritorious soldiers also need to be rewarded!"

Vidal listened to this, and after returning from each expedition, William had always personally distributed bereavement pensions and rewarded soldiers.

William appeared in the barracks built inside Denlenburg in an orange and sumptuous earl's robe, followed by dozens of town guards, carrying heavy boxes in their hands, snorting and panting, and walked into the barracks, which contained thousands of silver coins.

"The Earl has paid out the pension and bounty!"

With a shout from the people around William, the soldiers in the entire barracks heard the news.

However, they did not start to fight for each other as soon as they heard of the bounty, as the other aristocratic armies did, but formed a long queue under the organization of the team officers and the officers, waiting for William to hand out the pension and bounty.
