The melodious sound of the piano sounded in a side hall in the Dragon Castle, and Locke leaned against the wall with his hands in resignation, his eyes unblinking as Kalia played intently.

The piano is not a rarity, and at first Locke thought that there would be no such instrument in this world, but to his surprise, with the gathering of nobles and craftsmen in Iva . Violins, cellos, trumpets, and many other musical instruments have appeared in aristocratic homes, or in the musical instrument shops on the street, and even the bards on the side of the road will play the violin slowly.

The cultural world of Azeroth was not as scarce as Locke had imagined. This also made Locke realize that this world is not the game he remembers...

Kalia's playing came to an end, and as she turned to look at Locke with a smile, Rock straightened up and walked over and squeezed Kalia to sit next to her.

"It's a good play," Locke complimented without hesitation, though he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. But as soon as Kalia laughed twice, Locke continued, "Well, watching you play, I suddenly have a sense of music... Let me try it too! ”

"You?" Kalia naturally didn't believe it, but in order not to hit her man, she also turned her body sideways and left enough space for him.

Then Locke closed his eyes in makeup, and put his hands on the keys in a decent pose. It's just that what he doesn't know is that his gestures and movements are wrong, and Kalia next to him covered her mouth and laughed silently, obviously Locke is just a layman.

After a long silence with his eyes closed, Locke took a long breath and brushed the keys with his right hand to make a coherent Dorami sound. Then... In Kalia's unbearable expression, he used the middle finger of his right hand to the keys, and pressed the very jerky sound intermittently with one finger...

In his previous life, Locke could not play the piano, but he had many melodies in his mind that had been in that world for a long time. He didn't know the score, so he could only press it reluctantly according to the sound... In the intermittent sound of the piano, which can barely be distinguished by earthlings, it is a children's song, two tigers...

After pressing it for a while, it made a chaotic sound... Locke is defeated...

All right... It seems that I really don't have this talent, and I don't even have the memories hidden in my genes... I'm ashamed of the traverser...

"Good play!" The applause of Kalia in his ears relieved Locke's machismo, but thinking that this was his own woman, this relief slowly faded.

Kalia's slightly rough palms tried to hold Locke's big hand, and this time, she took Locke in both hands and repeated the song Locke played by the two tigers.

"Look, it's not difficult, is it?" Kalia smiled and turned her head to look at Locke, "The melody of this piece is so good!" Why have I never heard of it? ”

Of course you haven't heard of it! It's the music of my world! Thinking so on the surface, Locke said with a smile on his face, "I have a lot of such tunes in my head, well, I can only remember the approximate melody..."

"It's okay! I can listen to it more and tinker with the score! Kalia excitedly sat up from her chair with her skirt and ran to Locke, but soon the voice of the attendant outside the door stopped her. Your Majesty, your lordships are ready in the chamber. ”

Kalia pouted and stood where she was, but she quickly walked up to Locke with a smile again, "Go ahead, don't keep them waiting." ”

Just like the agreement between them in marriage, after marriage, Kalia will not care about the integrity of the country without Locke's permission.

After holding Kalia in his arms and kissing her forehead, Locke smiled at her and turned away from her.

Today is only the second day after the coronation, and at the banquet after yesterday, Locke only made a slight appearance with Kalia, talked to the nobles and the people who supported him, and left the banquet. The next two months were going to be very busy, and he had to pick himself up.

One after another, the guards stood quietly in all corners of the Dragon Castle, walking in the slightly empty corridors of the Dragon Castle, and Locke nodded to each of the guards who saluted him. But at this moment, I don't have any confidence in my heart about the big reform I am about to implement!

Before he became a king, he could imagine as he pleased. But after becoming a king, a responsibility was unconsciously attached to his shoulders.

After all, this is a reform that involves all classes of the entire kingdom, including all levels of civil and military affairs! It's okay to say that the low-level commoners are okay, but the resistance from the nobility will undoubtedly be great, but now is the best time to reform! He is now the rightful king of Lordaeron, with the most powerful armed forces in Lordaeron, the most prestigious among the people and the army, and the rare financial power in his own hands! And at this time, the old power aristocracy was also suppressed to the lowest point in history by natural disasters and themselves!!

It should be the perfect time to weaken the power of the nobility and transition Lordaeron from a feudal system to a centralized power!

The nobles of other human kingdoms may be eyeing this reform, but after all, they can't reach it! They want to dictate to Lordaeron, and they need to be able to break through the mountains and rivers of this gap!

The arrow is already on the string ...

Krok also has his own hesitations... As the king, he is the biggest nobleman, and weakening the aristocracy is actually indirectly weakening the power of the royal family. According to Locke's prediction, only by entering the capitalist society from feudalism can he more effectively fight against the dark ages that Azeroth is about to face, and concentrate on doing great things under his own guidance. But if society wants to progress, science and technology must develop, and if science and technology and society want to develop, they must open up the wisdom of the people, and if they can open the wisdom of the people, then in the future, it is foreseeable that the royal family is very likely to be hollowed out. Even the whole process will be pushed in advance by the nobles who have seized most of the power, so as to empty the power of the king, and even the guillotine of the royal family is very likely...

The end result is that all this promoted by Locke will end the royal family! It's like an endless loop.

Rights are as delicious as a delicacy!

The door to the Cabinet Hall of Dragoncastle was open, and when Locke stepped inside, most of the people named by Locke stood up and watched Locke come to the huge conference table.

"Sit down," Locke took the lead in the high-backed chair at the head, and then the people around him sat down one after another, and then looked at Locke with suppressed excitement and excitement.

Yes, the goal of struggle has reached a huge stage, and it is the stage of rewarding meritorious deeds...

Looking at those eyes, Locke smiled and pulled out a roll of parchment from his pocket, and everyone looked at Locke in silence.

Locke slowly opened the huge sheepskin scroll and watched intently. If there were people behind them, they would be surprised to find that there was not a word on that huge piece of parchment!!

Locke looked at the blank parchment, silent for a long time, and many of the decisions and plans made before the king fell apart at this moment.

To this day, he suddenly remembered the key issue he had overlooked! I also realized that I had grasped the key to containing the aristocracy!

In the blink of an eye, he decided to overturn his previous decision!

Lordaeron has seen a huge number of Borderlands emerge in the midst of this scourge! These lands are deserted in the wilderness and are not cultivated in a timely manner. Especially in these lands, bandits, gnolls, and scattered undead abound. The people are afraid of the safety of the above and are reluctant to move over, even if they do, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources to solve the troubles above, and the current Lordaeron is honest, there is not enough people to move to those places. This is still the crowd gathered around Iva who is being migrated little by little to the blank gap in his previous territory.

No one can resist the temptation to own their own territory!

Now that it has been decided to return the land of the nobility to them, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to seal these ownerless lands to their subordinates, let them hire people to cultivate the land, and collect taxes or grain for themselves?

Before, Locke was worried that the nobility would become bigger because of the fief, but now Locke, who has figured it out, realizes that in his own reform, the landed aristocracy will slowly be eaten away by the emerging merchant aristocracy that will develop later. The old-fashioned aristocrats may be subject to the confinement of the land ideology, and they will never think that the commercial aristocracy that will develop in the future will find a way to grab their land from those old-fashioned nobles who do not have enough financial resources because the land has been divided! They probably couldn't imagine how powerful the gold coins in the hands of the merchant nobles could be!

As a royal family, as long as the army is firmly in their own hands, how can the nobles, who are restricted from having the right to private armies, rebel against the royal family of the emerging power represented by themselves?

Write down this question, then let's slow down the matter of today's knighthood. Wait to discuss it with Kalia and Mormont, and then decide on the specific location and title.

Locke made a decision in his heart, and slowly rolled up the parchment in his hand.

"Sir Mormont, have you made a map of your fiefdoms?" Locke deliberately asked Mormont beside him in front of everyone. He knew that Mormont would cooperate with him, although he was also inexplicable.

When everyone's eyes fell on Mormont, Mormont hesitated slightly, but still said, "This is a huge workload, and it requires a large number of affairs officers to measure and investigate on the spot. It will take some time to make your fiefdoms more accurate. After all, no kingdom in history has ever canonized so many and such high titles at once..."

"Then it can't be helped." Locke smiled helplessly, "Your lords' titles and fiefs have to wait." ”

The singing and harmony between the two made everyone present a little excited, even Hudson on Locke's right was a little excited. All of them all know that His Majesty has said more than once before that the nobles who will get the title in the future will not have fiefs! But today, on this occasion, His Majesty suddenly changed his tune!!

This means! They can now have hereditary territory?!!

You must know that most of the officers who followed His Majesty to fight were just ordinary people!!
