Chapter 1651: The Monarchy and the Nobility (Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass!!!! )
After the bald sage was taken away, Soram relaxed.
"Do you really want to spread the word about education in Immanuel, as the sage said?" Xiana had been listening the whole time, and naturally knew what they were talking about. But Loris's didn't care much. In terms of the level of education popularization, the cloud giant is definitely the most in the entire continent, they have a perfect education system, and any famous cloud giant needs to start his own learning in the twentieth year of his birth. This compulsory education will continue until the cloud giant reaches adulthood.
In other words, a cloud giant must also undergo at least one hundred and eighty years of compulsory education...... Even if you are a fool, after more than 100 years of study, you can become a qualified scholar.
Because of this, Loris didn't find anything wrong with Solam's education. Besides, Loris is still a cloud giant, and she doesn't have the sense of ownership as a lord's wife, and she doesn't feel that a bunch of humans or dwarves have anything to do with whether they read or not.
But Xia has a lot to do with this matter, no matter what, she is also a princess of a country, although it is more sad, but she still knows the way of the nobles.
"yes, what's wrong with that?" Soram looked at the empty wine glass, and suddenly regretted it a little. It was his third drink, and it was actually a waste for Coulson, and he could only drink black tea now......
As for Sianna's question, he didn't care at all, just answered casually.
When Sianna saw that Soram was so unconcerned, she couldn't laugh or cry. Although Sianna was kicked out of Touscent since she was a child, and she was not allowed to receive the so-called elite political education, there are some things that do not necessarily need to be taught by others, she is an aristocrat, which has been determined since she was born, she was born a member of the aristocratic class, even if she is exiled, her life and intersection circle are not comparable to the commoners.
So she knew very well what level the nobles would do in order to maintain their own interests, after all, they needed to monopolize the upper position, and they had to prevent their advantages from disappearing, and the acquisition of knowledge was one of the means of their monopoly, and it was also the most important means.
After all, no matter how capable a civilian is, if he doesn't have the corresponding knowledge reserves, he can't really gain power, and power is not omnipotent! Without knowledge, how can they handle government affairs and manage their people?
This is also the reason why those high-level professionals still need hundreds of years of precipitation after obtaining aristocratic status to make their families become real nobles. After all, there are some things that must be accumulated.
Now Solam intends to break that rule and make knowledge available to all. This undoubtedly touched the nerves of the aristocratic class. They will do everything possible to sabotage and prevent this from happening, and don't underestimate these nobles, they can do more than they think.
Just look at Tousente to know that even if Yatana is supported by almost all the people in Tousente, he still has to fight wits and courage with the nobles, after all, the royal power is too strong, and it will threaten the interests of the nobles, so for their own interests, no matter how capable and supported Yetana is, they are not the same as fighting with Yatana.
Sianna feared that if Soram insisted on doing so, it would cause turmoil in his territory, and that not only the nobles in his domain would oppose him, but also the nobles around Immanuel would put aside their prejudices and oppose Soram together. At that time, it was really internal and external.
"Aren't you afraid that your nobles will turn against you? You know, those nobles don't let commoners gain knowledge so easily. You're really sure you can keep them down, it's in their own interest, and they're not going to listen to you for anything just because they're loyal to you. ”
The relationship between the nobility and the royal power has been complicated since ancient times. In Ferron, the basis of royal power was never the commoners, but the aristocracy! Because civilians do not hold power. Even if the commoners supported the king again, the nobles didn't care at all, because it was useless.
But they are opposites. The strength of the royal power meant that the interests of the aristocracy were suppressed. And the strength of the aristocratic class will in turn oppress the royal power. In most of the countries of Fallon, the politics were actually one in which the east wind between the nobility and the royal power prevailed over the west wind, and then the reverse cycle.
The royal power is inseparable from the aristocracy, and the aristocratic class also needs a royal power to act as an arbiter and maintain the stability of the entire aristocratic class. They need each other and compete with each other. In short, the complex relationship can be written in a paper. I won't go into detail here.
In short, Solam patted his head like this and thought that it was a play, which was definitely a challenge to the bottom line of the aristocracy. Xia had just decided to follow Solam, after all, she had nowhere to go, she didn't want to live alone anymore, so she had to remind Soram.
"Aristocrats?" Solam looked at Shianna with a confused expression and asked strangely, "What does this have to do with them?" Besides, I don't have any nobles under my command. ”
There really weren't any nobles under Solam, and in fact he had never thought of dividing them up. In Solam's opinion, whether it is Immanuel, the Island of the Mother of Mists, or Okasuan, it is his own territory, his own property. He eats too much and wants to give a piece to someone else?
It can also be seen here that Solam doesn't actually have any plans for his own territories, and he has never even thought about promoting any officials to manage the territory or anything. After all, whether it was the Copperbeard Clan and the joint council of Tevelyn, or the Seven Gods of Okassuan, they all managed his territory very well, and Solam didn't want to find someone to replace them.
"You didn't divide the nobles? Was there no nobleman above Immanuel before? "Shianna still knows too little about Soram's deeds, after all, she has only just decided to follow Soram for a short time, and she has not paid attention to it before. It had been a long time before that she hadn't paid much more attention, when she was thinking about revenge all day long, and how could she bother to understand a Soram who couldn't be beaten with eight poles.
She knew that in the case of Okassuan and the Mother of Mists, it was only natural that Solam did not divide the nobles. But Manuel is different, since Sianna knew about Immanuel, his impression of this place is rich and powerful. So she took it for granted that it was a historic territory.
In Faerun, only highly developed territories will have a chance to be rich, otherwise just dealing with the attacks of monsters will be enough for those newly developed territories.
"Immanuel used to be a wasteland, where did some nobles come from?" Solam didn't realize that Sina was worried, after all, she was thinking about herself, and Solam was not so ignorant. Others treat him as their own and think about him, how can Soram hate it?
At this time, Soram also knew what Xia was worried about, and he had also read the book, okay! I still understand this.
"Let's put it this way, the territory under my name has been up to now, and I have the final say! I never thought of finding a group of nobles to help me manage my territory, not now, not in the future! My territory, I call the shots, it was before, and it will be in the future! ”
