Hearing William's speech, everyone cheered up, and the administration of the county of Evreux would undoubtedly affect the interests of their local nobles, and the nobles, both good and bad, had to prick up their ears.

"First of all, I would like to state three unchanged principles, the first is that the manor land will remain unchanged, and everyone's real estate income will not be affected by the new policy, but will be reduced because of the new policy.

Secondly, the succession of the titles will remain unchanged, and the titles of the nobles will continue from generation to generation, and I will form a new body to ensure its execution, and I will vouch for it.

Finally, your power will remain the same, and although your power will change as a result of the New Deal, I can assure you that your power will expand, not decrease. William spoke eloquently in front of everyone, expounding the three immutable principles of William's self-summary.

As soon as William's words fell, everyone turned their expectant eyes to William, hoping that William's new policy would bring them greater power.

"First of all, the first article of the New Deal, I divide the administrative divisions of Evreux and the whole of Normandy, and henceforth no longer call Évreux an earldom, but the county of Évreux, under which the Barons of Agentang, the Barony of Alençon, the Parish of Lisé, the County of Evreux and the Barony of Vernon are to be divided into regions, and henceforth the Barony of Agentaut will become the Agentauen.

Under the regions, there will be administrative units at the county level, which will consist of one to two towns and more than twenty estates, village-sized land, roughly a barony will be divided into five to eight counties.

Under the county, it is divided into several towns, each containing five or six estates and villages, which are the most basic administrative units.

The chief of each rank will be referred to as the county chief, district chief, county magistrate, and town chief, and will have two deputies, as well as several different number of subordinate officials. ”

As soon as William finished speaking, everyone in the audience began to talk about it, because it seemed that William's new policy was to deprive him of the right to rule his territory.

"Your Highness William, are you doing this so that we will meet the local lord of the country manor? If we lose the right to rule the territory, we will never agree! Baron Richard, who was in the audience, immediately jumped out and acted as a conservative.

Others might have been able to extract some benefits from the New Deal and expand their power, but as the largest nobleman in the county of Evreux, who occupied more than a quarter of the entire county area of Evreux, Baron Richard could not agree to it, which was simply digging his roots.

Baron Richard was very aware of William's true intentions, which was to break the dependency between knights and lords, and finally make all knights loyal to him William alone, and the so-called division of administrative divisions, official titles and opportunities to enter the Duke's Palace were all bait hanging over the heads of the nobles.

As soon as Baron Richard finished speaking, the nobles blew up, and although they were knights or knights at best, they were the only masters in their own realm, and it was more uncomfortable to take their power than to kill them.

"I said that the principle that everyone's manor land remains unchanged is that I will not interfere in the affairs of your manor, and the second thing I said is that everyone's power remains unchanged, which means that the county magistrate, district magistrate, county magistrate, town mayor and officials at all levels of government in Evreux will be filled by nobles, and each level of nobles will hold the corresponding level of official positions, and the power to govern the local area will remain unchanged or even expanded.

And I will appoint the officials of the original territory wherever they are, according to the principle of local appointments, and make sure that they do not shrink with all their might.

When I unify Normandy, perhaps your estates will increase, and your official positions, titles of nobility, and the territory of your dominion will be expanded, and I will implement a new policy to unite you, and to twist all your forces into one, and no longer to separate them. William seemed to have anticipated this situation for a long time, and was not annoyed by the opposition of the crowd, but patiently explained it to the crowd.

William's proposal is actually a copy of the Celestial Empire's change of land and return to the stream, except that the toast here has been replaced by nobles, and the liuguan has been replaced by officials at all levels, although this is still a change of soup, but this gives William the opportunity to infiltrate other people's territory, as long as the means can be used to weaken their power.

Perhaps within a generation or two, the power of the nobles was still very large in their own domains, but as time passed, perhaps commoners and lowly officials could also emerge and make a way for the rigid feudal rule.

William's proposal was approved by most of the people, after all, most of them were knights and knights, and their territory was at most a few villages and estates, and most of them had no chance to expand their territory and rights except in times of war, and now they would have the opportunity to serve as mayors, county heads, district mayors and other supervisors and their deputies, so that their ruling power would extend from a few small estates to other regions and domains.

But even so, Baron Argenton still did not relent, because he knew that what he agreed to William's terms was only immediate benefits, and in the end, De. The Vasi family, without any attachment to the knights, will eventually decline.

William sat down at the top and set his eyes on Baron Richard, seeing that he was still stubborn as a rock, William was slightly annoyed, he knew that Baron Richard was the biggest obstacle to the implementation of the new policy, and without his support, William would not be able to fully control the county of Evreux.

"Baron Richard, please don't be worried, although you will lose some of the governance rights of your realm, the scope of your power will be expanded countless times.

Previously, you could only exercise your power in the Barony of Agentau, but when you join my ducal palace, your power will be expanded several times over, covering the county of Evreux and even the entire Duchy of Normandy. William looked solemnly at Baron Richard and promised.

The essence of the political game is compromise and exchange, and since Baron Richard believes that his interests are damaged, William gives him a certain amount of compensation.

When William finished speaking, Baron Richard was stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

In his vision, William would try to compete with William for the title of earl, and William would definitely try to target him in every possible way, and this new deal was one of his methods.

But what Baron Richard didn't expect was that William's magnanimity would be so magnanimous that he even allowed himself, who was once an enemy, to join the Duke's palace.
