Chapter 240: The Loss of the Aristocrats
Duchamp returned to the dormitory, and after a long time, he even washed his feet and went to sleep, and Dietrie and the others returned. Seeing that Duchamp had fallen asleep, Dietrie ripped off his quilt: "Get up, I want to talk to you." ”
Duchamp hurriedly snatched the quilt and covered himself again: "What are you doing?" So savage. ”
Dietrie said solemnly: "How can you be so open-mouthed that there will be no nobles in twenty years!" Are you inciting those civilian students to rebel? ”
Duchamp couldn't help but laugh when he saw Dietrie's flushed face.
"Look at what makes you anxious, you are just an ordinary small character in Haicheng, whether the aristocracy exists or not, what does it have to do with you?"
Dietrie stared at Duchamp like a monster.
"To maintain the aristocracy is to safeguard the rights of all nobles, aren't you a member of the aristocracy?"
Duchamp turned his head and asked Leermu and Fang, "What about the two of you?" Do you feel that you naturally have such an obligation? ”
Lilmu said firmly, "Of course. ”
Duchamp let out an exclamation from his nose: "The only way to maintain the existing social order is to stop the empire from developing, and only by keeping the peasants on the subsistence line that they are busy with the land all day long can the aristocratic feudal system be stabilized." That's what you're going to do. ”
Dietrie was so angry that his hands trembled, pointed at Duchamp, and even spoke in a trilling voice: "What you say, like that hated Osborne, are the nobles who hinder the development of the empire, and you are the heroes of this era." ”
"Twenty years, that's already a good ending. If the aristocracy still maintains the status quo of not wanting to make progress, it will not take twenty years, and within ten years it will be wiped out by the Prime Minister, including your honorable Kane surname. ”
Dietrie said proudly, "How could he have done that." ”
"He can't do it, the railway to your hometown Haicheng is about to be opened, and once it is completed, the twenty divisions of the empire can rush to Haicheng at any time to slaughter. The Prime Minister's personal agents are being trained in our classes, a large number of the Prime Minister's fanatics are being born among the civilian students, and the army and the hearts of the people are in the hands of the Prime Minister. And His Majesty the Emperor handed everything over to the Prime Minister, in fact, handed over the butcher's knife to him. According to my estimates, that annoying uncle can't wait even ten years to start. And you're just pretending not to see and waiting to die. ”
Learmu shouted in surprise: "Be careful! You are slandering His Majesty the Emperor, and Your Majesty has never had such a mind. ”
Duchamp sneered and said: "How long has it been since His Majesty the Emperor personally issued a decree, the world only knows the prime minister, and I don't know how long the monarch's days are." If you have the ability, you let His Majesty the Emperor come out to govern in person, saying that he has no such thoughts. ”
Lilmu let out a long sigh and said to Duchamp, "Styry, we are just here to study, so we don't need to make the atmosphere in the dormitory so tense. ”
Duchamp rolled his eyes, and for some reason, he only felt full of grumbling today.
"Everyone knows that this country is terminally ill, but it is forced to turn a blind eye for the sake of immediate pleasure. In the light of this momentum, it will not be a few years before the country will be empty of the struggle between the prime minister and the aristocracy, the rebellion and war in the country will be ignited again, and the history of 250 years ago will re-evolve. How the rebellion began 250 years ago is not clear in history, but the current situation is clear, the prime minister is pressing step by step, forcing the nobles to rebel, isn't this obvious enough? ”
Learmu said distraughtly: "Don't say it anymore, say that I will break off my friendship with you." ”
"No, you go on." Dietrie shouted.
Duchamp laughed: "You see, there is still a clear head. ”
"A thousand years ago, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the birth of the feudal system was because at that time transportation was inconvenient, communication was inconvenient, and the emperor could not control such a large place, so it was inevitable to divide the nobles and get worship from the nobles, and the emperor only needed to control the strength of the army, more than the nobles.
And a thousand years have passed, and society has long since changed. With the development of science and technology, the weapons that people can make are becoming more and more powerful, and even as long as they have money, they can create weapons that are enough to rival a country, and money is combat power. In particular, since the revolution of the guiding force, more and more sophisticated weapons have appeared, and wars have been piled up with financial resources.
The money of the empire has always been in the hands of the four famous families, the Duke of Kane's family, which holds the food lifeline of the empire, and a single state of Marel produces half of the grain of the empire. The Marquis of Rogner, who is in charge of the Empire's largest industrial city, Rure. Marquis of Haines, who holds the empire's wealthy Lake District. The Duke of Albarea, on the other hand, controlled the textile industry and trade of the empire.
In comparison, His Majesty the Emperor can control the area and money, only the capital Heimdall District, so how can he rest assured. ”
"You mean, His Majesty the Emperor feels that the four famous families pose a threat to him?" "But the nobility has always been honored by the imperial power," said Dietrie. ”
Duchamp thought in his heart, you think so, the problem is that your bullish brother may not think so.
He couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Whatever the aristocracy thinks, their strength does pose a threat to imperial power. In order to protect himself, the emperor could only strengthen the centralization of power, so he connived at His Majesty the Prime Minister to annex Julai, so that Zhulai's grain could be directly supplied to the Wehrmacht, so as to get rid of the dependence on the Kane family. If the four major families want to be safe, they can also hand over the tax and military rights of each fief to the emperor. ”
"This!" Dietrie choked on a word.
"Can't do it? Wait for death, when the time comes, you must run fast and flee to Gatapunia, for the sake of your former classmates, I will take you in. Duchamp got up in his pajamas, took out an apple, took a bite, and exaggeratedly.
Fang knocked the apple off his hand in annoyance: "Why do you still look like you don't care like this, like you're not a member of the aristocracy?" ”
Duchamp spread his hands: "I'm not a nobleman in the first place, okay." ”
Fang couldn't bear it anymore, and lifted Duchamp's collar in the past, gritted his teeth and said, "Believe it or not, I'll cut off your disgusting mouth now." ”
Duchamp turned his head and stared at the sky at a 45-degree angle, as if he was defending the truth and looking at death.
Dietrie's eyes were moist and his mood was heavy, but when he saw Duchamp's disgusting appearance, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, calmed down, and asked, "Stellory, you must have a solution, right?" ”
Fang let go of Duchamp's collar and said, "Don't you just want us to beg you when you put on this look, okay, Dietrie has spoken, you can tell your high theory." ”
Duchamp proudly wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, and smiled: "In the Semeria Continent, there is no problem that this great immortal can't solve, what do you want to ask, please ask?"
Dietrie's voice was nasal, and he asked, "How can the nobles survive this fate?" ”
Duchamp held up a finger and shook it into the air.
"The wheels of history are rolling forward, and the demise of aristocracy and feudalism in the process of industrialization is inevitable history and cannot be reversed."
A sad atmosphere spread through the bedroom.
After a long time, Dietrie asked, "Is there a but?" ”
