Chapter 205, Old and New Aristocrats
Feng Zhi also sat on the throne, and the people below did not respect Feng Zhiyi, but at least they were very respectful on the face.
Who let the family standing behind Feng Zhiyi is the family that owns half of the wealth of the entire country?
And Feng Zhiyi, that is, this person named Lauren, has the impression of being brutal in the eyes of all of them, he has just taken power, who knows if he will come to kill chickens and monkeys?
"Prime Minister, can you tell us how the situation is in my country?" Kazenoya sat on the throne and looked at Anduin and said.
Anduin took a step forward and saluted: "My king, the country and society are stable, the people are rich, the old are dependent, the young are raised, and there is peace and tranquility. ”
Anduin was clearly deceiving Feng Zhiyi, because he knew that Feng Zhiyi was a person who had never even been out of the royal capital, and when he left the palace, he was only walking around the royal capital at the farthest.
The royal capital is indeed socially stable, because there are no volcanoes nearby, so the people live in abundance, but only the royal capital is like this, and the people in other areas are living in dire straits.
Continuous volcanic eruptions, covering large areas of arable land, which is a very good fertilizer, but almost every month or two is a volcanic eruption, how do you grow crops?
Even short-term crops, volcanic ash that obscures the sun all day long will die because it shades the sun for a long time, leaving your crops without light.
Volcanic ash covered rivers and flooded fields, leaving people with little to no source of food.
Originally, the country of Nanjing could barely survive with the help of several neighboring countries, exporting volcanic ash fertilizer in exchange for food, but now all this money has been used by Ender.
And it's not enough, otherwise how could it cost half of the queen's family's wealth?
So Anduin didn't know anything about it, and wanted to use it to fool the past, after all, Lauren's reputation for cruelty was already very famous when he was still a prince.
He was afraid that because he told the truth, he would be used by Lauren, who had just come to power, to play the topic.
Feng Zhiya heard Anduin's words, and his eyes narrowed, clearly sensing that Anduin was panicking.
The system has already explained the situation in the country of Nanjing to himself, but Anduin said that it is peaceful now, isn't this fooling himself?
"How did I hear that volcanoes are erupting everywhere now, and the people are struggling to make a living?" The Wind also questioned Anduin.
"This ......" Anduin was visibly startled when he heard Feng Zhiyi's words, he didn't know how the new king in front of him had learned about the news, which even Ende didn't know.
For a while, Anduin not only didn't know how to answer, but also became suspicious of the people around him, wondering if there was a mole inside.
"Pooh." Feng Zhiyi shouted.
"Yes, my king, Pooh is at your disposal once more." The Minister of Peace, Pooh, knelt down on one knee.
The Minister of Justice, Pooh, was originally the one who was supported by the Idri family, so he had great respect for the wind.
"How many guards and security troops are there in my royal capital?" Kaze asked.
Pooh said without hesitation: "Now there are 600 guards in the royal capital. 1,200 security troops. ”
Feng Zhiyi nodded, this number is already quite a lot, the country of Nanjing is originally a small country, the population is not large, the taxes are also small, plus there is a king who is extravagant, there can be so many troops, all of them are supported by the Idri family.
Otherwise, the number of this army would be one-fifth.
If it weren't for these armies, the people below would have rebelled long ago! Especially the guys who are on the field right now.
Everyone has hundreds of private kings in their families, and some of them are still dead, and they can't do anything about these people who have deceived them for the time being.
The first thing Feng Zhiyi did after ascending the throne was to write a letter of apology and send it to the surrounding countries, in which Feng Zhiyi humbly recounted his father's mistakes and his own mistakes, what to do after ascending the throne, and then thanked the kings for their help to the Nanjing Kingdom.
Anyway, they are praising each other, belittling themselves, and then admitting their mistakes and asking for help.
On the other hand, Feng Zhiye is also issuing new decrees, commuting punishments and light sentences, calling for all forces to be focused on disaster relief.
Perhaps because Feng Zhiyi's attitude is relatively good, after receiving the letter from the surrounding countries, half of the countries are willing to give material help again, which solves Feng Zhiyi's urgent need.
The existing official system of the kingdom has almost been eroded, and the rest of the cities except for the royal capital can hardly know what the general situation is, so Feng Zhiya immediately summoned all the young nobles in the royal capital.
A promise to them that as long as they can help the kingdom through the difficulties, they will at least be the lord of a city, and those who are outstanding can serve as the head of the kingdom's court!
This makes these young people very happy on the surface, no matter what they think in their hearts.
And the wind also made these people go to the borders of the neighboring countries, and after receiving the supplies that came from the support, they went to various places to start disaster relief!
On the one hand, it is for disaster relief, on the other hand, it buys volcanic ash and sells it to other countries in exchange for more supplies, and it is also exploring why volcanic eruptions are so dense now.
Time passed, and the friction between the older generation of officials and the new officials became more and more serious, and these Feng Zhiyi saw it, but Feng Zhiyi didn't care.
Because he didn't have the need to mediate them, he was even secretly giving some help to the new nobles, and he was also implying that he was oppressed by the old nobles.
And if they don't die, there is no way to give up more and higher positions! This made many new aristocrats eager to try.
And Feng Zhiyi also dispatched all the guards of his mother's family and his father's family to protect himself, after all, he was so provocative, he was afraid of being assassinated!
And in case the new nobles rebel, not only will they kill the old nobles, but they will be embarrassed to give themselves a knife by the way!
And the battle provoked by the wind began ten months after the succession of the wind to the throne.
There are many new aristocrats, and in addition to the young people who dare to fight, they will not leave a piece of armor to kill the old nobles.
The stunned ones were still storming the palace, but after being killed twice, the brains of the new nobles also woke up.
This matter was originally carried out with the acquiescence of the royal family, so there must have been some control over it, so the two leading figures among the young nobles also came to the kingdom alone to confess their guilt.
Feng Zhiyi received them warmly, not only did not mention the matter of storming the palace, but rewarded them greatly, and asked them to write a merit list by the way, and he wanted to personally reward these people who had eliminated harm for the country.
