Varkas, who once swept across the continent, finally tasted a huge defeat, which was like a disaster for Whakas. From then on, he had to develop a new crusade strategy, replacing it with a soft wrist, and planned to use the Knight to balance the Knight people.

Vaqas's plans seemed endless, and he took advantage of the demands made by Caldis to force Caldis to sign a peace agreement and continue with his unfinished plans in Uto, hoping to make Caldis a second Asaido.

However, this decision was difficult for Caldis, because he privately agreed to Warkas without consulting anyone. Next, he has to face everyone's doubts about him.

While Warkas was preparing the ransom and supplies, an impromptu meeting was held in the Northland regarding the oath with Wakas.

In the command hall of the fortress, the main members of the northern kingdom gathered, and everyone had their own opinions and discussions.

Alius was the most furious, and he rebuked Caldis head-on, saying, "We managed to kill an Athedo who betrayed Knight, and all the Knight people were relieved of their hatred for this. But now that we have promised the barbarians to live in peace with them without aggression, is this any different from the Acedo? ”

As Caldis's cousin, Cook was naturally the first to stand up and speak for him. Cook retorted to Alyus and said, "How can you say that, Lord Duke, that we are reconciled with the barbarians in this way, is this the same as Acedo?" He, Acedo, betrayed Knight, herded horses for the barbarians in the territory of Wutuo, slaughtered the people who rebelled against the barbarians, and was bent on taking refuge with the barbarians. Is this the same thing? ”

After hearing this, Mariara immediately retorted: "It's different, but the barbarians have killed so many of our people and occupied so many of our territories, how can we put aside this kind of blood feud, how can we reconcile with them." ”

Cook glared at Mariara angrily, and scolded her angrily, "Then do you know what the conditions for our reconciliation are, those supplies are what our northern country desperately needs. ”

This was the first time Cook had a head-on argument with Mariala, and Mariara was very disappointed in him, and she tearfully asked, "Cook, are those supplies more important than our dignity?" Are you Cook such a person? ”

Cook was speechless, and he looked at Mariara in a daze, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.

Miller sighed and said, "Okay, everyone is for the good of the North, why fight for the red face." I think the Duke has made a very wise decision, and given our current situation, we must have a stable situation if we want to settle down in the Northland. If you fight with the barbarians all day long, all the people will not feel at ease living here. In addition, as soon as the war came, all the people had to mobilize, which made everyone panic, how could they live this day? If you all expect our northern country to develop well, we have to seek a stable situation for the northern country, instead of fighting and killing all day long, then we will always be dragged down by the war, how can we govern the northern country? ”

Mompot suddenly spoke, "Yes, if you come here, you will be safe, and the most important thing for us now is to gain a foothold in the Northland. Don't forget, we are just a group of wanderers abandoned by Dragon City, and we finally found such a good territory in the Northland. Now we have nothing, and we don't have many knights in total, so we don't have any qualifications to go head-to-head with Warkass. This time we relied on the Northland Fortress to defeat Wakas, and that wasn't because we were so good that we could fight ten at a time, but without the Northland Fortress, we would all be dead. ”

Then Caldis got up and said, "I have come to the North for one purpose, and that is to find a safe place for the displaced people, so that they will no longer have to worry about being hunted down by the barbarians. So for me, as long as I can keep the people safe, I can accept the rest. But if the barbarians dare to invade our northern kingdom, or try to coerce us into doing something we are not willing to do, I will not allow my Caldis to die in battle. ”

When Alius heard this, he immediately said, "Well, I like to hear this. It seems that I have misunderstood the Duke, and I take back what I said earlier and fully agree with the Duke's decision. ”

After Alius finished speaking, the others also agreed and all supported the decision.

In the end, Montpot smiled and said to Miller: "Lord Miller, didn't you express your ideas of governance when you were in Chongqing? We're starting all over again in the north, so why don't you just use your theory in our north and see how it works. ”

Miller was stunned for a moment, he looked at Caldis blankly, and his head began to think quickly.

Caldis hadn't been to the banquet at the time, so he didn't know what they were talking about, so he asked Miller, "What theory?" ”

Miller replied stunned: "Oh, it is to directly divide the land to the people and let them cultivate their own land, just like we Alto did when he resettled the refugees. ”

Cook was not happy when he heard this, he turned his head and said, "Isn't that what it is?" If the land is not given to the people to cultivate, do you still have to hire the people to cultivate it? I told Miller, don't bring the old kingdom to the north again, for the people must have land with us, and the nobles can no longer give them privileges. Also, whatever kingdom has to abolish the legal code, we have to make new rules, whether you are a nobleman or a common person, everyone will be treated equally. ”

Robit was amused when he heard this, and he immediately agreed: "That's good, we'll have to do what Cook said." ”

Miller was so excited that he continued to stare at Caldis, waiting for him to make a statement.

Caldis didn't say much, but replied casually: "It's as everyone wants." In short, I am the first to agree with anything that is good for the people. ”

After Caldis finished speaking, everyone laughed happily, and everyone in the north was full of confidence, and at the same time they respected Caldis and Miller even more.

It is only at this critical juncture of life and death that they can arouse the justice in their hearts and think of the interests of the people first.

A month later, Varkas returned to the Northland Fortress with his chariot and horses, and in front of the fortress, Varkas took several regimental commanders and met with Caldismiller and others.

Both parties signed their names on the oath and swore in the name of the gods. Varkas then handed over his supplies and sword in exchange for the captives who had been held in the fortress, and the whole process went quite smoothly.

Later, when asked what the identity of the captive was, Caldis simply said that he was an important figure in their Tubis Empire.

Caldis didn't say it very clearly, because it didn't matter to him who the captive was, what mattered was that the Northland was rewarded with peace, and although it was short-lived, it was enough for the North.

Warkas was a very trustworthy man, and he naturally did not break his oath, and since then refugees from all major territories have begun to pour into the Northland, which has brought a large number of laborers to the Northland. Since then, the Tubisi team has never been to the northern crossing, which is the unimpeded flow between Wutuo and the northern kingdom, which has greatly facilitated the management of the territory and the flow of people and materials.

Under Miller's leadership, the Northland began to establish a new policy system, and the original old kingdom system would be completely overturned.

After careful consideration by Miller, Miller formulated a new Northland statute based on the Kingdom Code, and then handed it over to everyone for review.

Cook said as he looked at it, "Why is this tax system still like this, and the people of that place will suffer if the nobles are ruthless, what are you, Miller." ”

Miller was stunned to hear this, and he jotted down a note in the booklet, explaining, "Oh, I haven't changed the tax yet. Taxes are important, and I can't change them privately, so I'm taking the opportunity to discuss them together. ”

Caldis asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

Miller replied, "The taxes paid in all parts of our knight are all different, and the good nobles will collect a little less, and when they meet those greedy nobles, they will desperately exploit the people. What I mean by this is that all the tax policies are formulated by the Northland, and the proportion of taxes paid is determined according to the actual local conditions. Only by controlling the power of taxation can there be no scene of aristocrats raising taxes indiscriminately, and the income of the people can be well protected. ”

Caldis nodded and said, "Well, it is true that the power of taxation cannot be handed over to the nobles to decide for themselves, so it is easy to mess around. ”

At this time, Mompot spoke: "I don't think the preferential privileges of this knight should be wanted, the duty of our knights is to protect the people and protect the weak, what do we want these privileges to do." With this special identity, doesn't this contradict our duties? ”

Miller nodded and said, "It makes sense, then cancel the knights' privileges and treat them as equals with the people." ”

After hearing this, Anne immediately said: "Not only the knights should cancel the privileges, but also the privileges of the nobles, and the disgusting system of inheritance of the sons of the nobles, it is better to abolish them all together." For example, a man like Cologne, who has no virtue and no talent, what qualifications does he have to be a duke, just because his father is also a duke? It's just a joke, it's ridiculous. ”

Miller was stunned when he heard this, and quickly turned his head to look at Robit.

Robit sneered and said, "Look at what I do, Anne is right." The title is reserved for people with meritorious deeds and achievements, what is the matter with the direct inheritance of the heirs, we have a lot of nobles now, and how many people have real skills? ”

Miller glanced at Cook and wrote, "Okay, I like this." Then, according to what Captain Anne said, all privileges will be abolished, and the heirs of the noble titles will not be inherited, and all of us in the northern kingdom will be equal before the laws in the future. ”

Cook glared at Miller and said casually, "This is long overdue." ”

At this time, Caldis suddenly spoke: "In this case, then our previous noble titles must be removed, and then we can start all over again, so that it can be fair." ”

Cook immediately said, "Okay, I'm fine. This mainly depends on Big Brother Robit. ”

Robit looked at Cook, his eyes full of hesitation.

At this time, Anne pushed Robit and rebuked him in a low voice, "What do you think, Brother Cook asks you!" ”

Robit smiled awkwardly at Anne's words, and after thinking for a long time, he spoke: "Over the past few hundred years, our Knight nobles have been united in public and private, creating countless glorious glories on this continent. But all this is a thing of the past, and most of these nobles have been completely corrupted, and they will always have only profit in their hearts. Now our people are in danger, and if we don't reflect on it thoroughly, our people will have to sit back and wait for destruction. The old aristocratic inheritance system is a cancer, and evil aristocrats are everywhere in our country, and we will never be able to stand up until this cancer is completely eradicated. So on this point, I fully agree with Anne and Master Caldis that we in the North must do the same, and we must not allow the nobles to destroy the North again. ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded silently, and even Duke Quat spoke: "Lord Robit is right, although I, Quart, have no skills, I absolutely do not want to see our Knight destroyed like this." You young people are very innovative in their ideas, and they dare to innovate and reform, which is a good thing for us at Knight. I don't understand how much benefit this can bring, but I'm here to support you. ”

Marcello glanced at Quart, then explained for her father, "What my father means is that since we have been exiled to the North together, we must not have any selfish motives to make a living for our people here. Whatever decision is made, we must fully embrace it, and we must dare to try and accept all decisions, whether the outcome is bad or good. ”

Anne stood up and applauded and said, "What Marcello said is so good, this is the most important thing, and there is no need to say too much about the rest." ”

Miller also stood up happily, and he applauded with everyone and said, "Yes, yes, it's still Lord Marcello's knowledge, and he gets to the point as soon as he says it." We were just a bunch of wanderers, sleeping wherever we went. Now that we are fortunate enough to come to the North, we have to cherish everything in front of us, settle down in the North, and everyone has to say what opinions we have, because we are the real family, and we will always be now. ”

Amid the warm applause of the crowd, Marcello became a little shy, and her face flushed red.

The new laws of the northern kingdom began to be born under the lively applause, which represented that Caldis and others led hundreds of thousands of people in the territory of Fengdu to establish a new regime in the northern kingdom.

Since then, the northern country has ushered in his temporary new life and has become the most desirable place for thousands of people on the mainland.
