Chapter 197: The True Purpose (Subscription Requested!! )
“…… In view of the great contribution made by Viscount Lin Fan, I have made him the Earl of the Kingdom of Swadia as the rightful ruler of the Kingdom......"
With the announcement of the king, everyone cheered and congratulated.
Because of Lin Fan's extraordinary strength, the major nobles are now mainly friendly and wooing, so just buy and support it, and everyone is very willing to do it.
"Congratulations!"
"Count Lin Fan!"
……
"Oh dear, you're amazing!"
Anna was even more excited, after this period of getting along, Anna was quite a bit of a woman who regarded herself as Lin Fan's woman, and at this time, seeing Lin Fan's title rising, her heart was naturally overjoyed, and she couldn't help but give Lin Fan a fragrant kiss directly.
Seeing that Anna took the initiative to give a kiss, the other three girls did not back down, and all of them gave Lin Fan fragrant kisses and blessings one by one.
Lin Fan was willing to do this, looking like a winner in life, and nodded proudly to the crowd around him.
Seeing such a fragrant scene, the major nobles also laughed in a friendly manner, and made a "boo" sound one after another, and the scene seemed to have reached a climax for a while.
It's just that the major nobles who coaxed didn't notice it, just when they were showing favor and coaxing, Lin Fan and the king secretly exchanged a look, the king glanced at Lin Fan as if confirmed, and Lin Fan nodded slightly lightly and affirmatively.
"Be quiet, everyone!"
Seeing that the king spoke again, the nobles fell silent again, waiting for the king to continue speaking.
"In addition to being promoted to the title of earl, I can also give Earl Lin Fan a promise, as long as I can achieve it, he can propose it to me."
Hearing the king's generous promise, all the nobles couldn't help but exclaim, but they didn't expect the king to make such a promise in order to win over Lin Fan, and everyone was amazed by the king's generosity for a while.
After all, the high-level leaders of the entire Svadia Kingdom have basically all gathered in the castle at this time, so as long as it is for the sake of personal prestige and honor, the king's promise will definitely find a way to fulfill, as long as the promise made by Lin Fan is within a reasonable range, the king will fulfill it no matter what, so the weight of this promise can be said to be very important.
"Oh!"
"Oh my God!"
"What a lucky guy!"
"Congratulations!"
……
"Then Count Lin Fan, do you have any wishes you want to fulfill? As long as I can do it, I will satisfy you, even if you want my most beautiful daughter! ”
Hearing the king's words, the surrounding nobles smiled kindly, but the three Marquis Dilynard's faces were a little unsightly, the king was too cunning, he actually wanted to win over Lin Fan through marriage, and he started so quickly, the arrangement on their side has not been done yet!
It's just that all the nobles are thinking too simply, the reason why the king and Lin Fan made this drama is not for the so-called marriage, these are just to clear up the king's involvement, so as to push the next things to Lin Fan's head.
On the surface, the king wants to marry Lin Fan and covet Lin Fan's extraordinary strength and bloodline, but in fact, what the king wants is for Lin Fan to help him resist all responsibilities and then complete the implementation of the decrees for him.
Against the entire aristocratic group, this pressure is too great, even if the king covets the powerful power of centralized power very much, but in the end he can't help but feel a little lacking in confidence, in order to achieve his own goals, Lin Fan of course has to make a look of consideration for the other party, so the two of them made this plan in advance.
Under the gaze of all the nobles, Lin Fan slowly bowed, revealing a serious expression, and everyone couldn't help but become serious.
"Thank you for Your Majesty's generosity and kindness, Your Majesty does have something to ask for!" Lin Fan said a little impassionedly: "War is a double-edged sword, it can bring us victory and wealth, but also bring death and sorrow, the tragic battle some time ago, although we won the final victory, but there are still countless heroes sacrificed for it." ”
"Addison, Spence, Chard, James, Pasquere, ...... all the valiant knights died in the fierce battle. All of them are good and have done great service to the kingdom of Swadia, but they have not been well placed for their offspring. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Fan paused slightly, and the nobles around him all looked at Lin Fan suspiciously, such an important opportunity, how could Count Lin Fan not think of a way to benefit himself, according to the guarantee made by His Majesty the King, then even if Lin Fan wanted the castle in front of him, given his extraordinary strength and value, maybe the king would also consider it, but what does it mean to say these now?
Could it be that Lin Fan suddenly became a saint and began to care about the maintenance and resettlement of his subordinate soldiers after their deaths? You must know that the soldiers are subordinate to their respective lords, and the lords have absolute power over their own people, so even the king is not likely to interfere too much with the lord's private soldiers.
As for the nobles and knights who died in battle, this is also a custom in the six countries, which generally pays a certain amount of pension, and then gives certain preferential treatment to their descendants, and even if there is a title and territory that can be passed on, it will also be passed on to the corresponding legal heirs.
Now that Lin Fan is raising this question, what is his plan?
Everyone thought about it in confusion, but they didn't need to think about it more, Lin Fan quickly said his purpose.
"Most of the eldest sons of these knights and nobles have been able to inherit their father's titles and territories, and they can naturally get a more prosperous life, but what about their second or third sons? It is obviously unreasonable and unmerciful for them to be relegated to commoners and to live in poverty and hardship. ”
Hearing this, everyone felt that their minds were clouded, what did Count Lin Fan want to do, this ...... This......
No matter how shocked the nobles present were, Lin Fan quickly told his request.
"Therefore, His Majesty begs Your Majesty to implement the decree and decree that the noble concubines are also allowed to inherit the family property, so that all the descendants of the nobles can be guaranteed to live, so that the soldiers who died bravely can really feel at ease!"
After listening to Lin Fan's request, King Haraus made a surprised expression, but the surrounding nobles were already boiling, and Count Claes jumped out directly and scolded loudly: "You nonsense guy! Someone, take him down for me! ”
