Chapter 177: Counterpressure

Half a month later, as expected, many city lords opposed the reform plan. Of course, there are city lords who agree, but almost all of them are poor jingling cities or towns. They don't have much money in the first place, and now someone is paying them, and of course they are happy.

Wayne looked at the resignations piled up like a small mountain, and could roughly guess how fierce these people were reacting. Wayne didn't want to use forceful means to force these people to comply, after all, he still had to rely on these people to do things.

There are hundreds of cities in Creon land, and if Wayne were to remove them all, he would not be able to find a replacement for a while. And most of them did a good job, and Wayne didn't want to give up on them.

Audrey said distressedly.

"Wood, it's all your fault, you have to come up with that bad idea. Now, when are we going to see these resignations. ”

"Alas~, Audrey has some things that must be done, and the more you delay, the greater the hidden danger behind. And most of these resignations are the same, we solve one, and the others will be processed faster. ”

Audrey opened a resignation letter, read it, and spoke viciously.

"These people, so disobedient, should all be beheaded!"

Wayne wouldn't take it seriously.

Explained in detail.

"Why do you think this group of people is so opposed? This is the Emperor's order. ”

Audrey muttered a round.

"Isn't it the right, so what's rare. ”

"Yes, we are depriving them of their financial rights in disguise. You think, how many years have they been holding on to this power, and now suddenly someone has snatched it away, and they definitely don't want to. ”

"So, why are you doing this, wood, we can't make a lot of money. Isn't that thankless. ”

Wayne smiled and shook his head.

"You don't care about this, you'll know later. We're going to solve the problem. There are only a few political games, such as a mallet in one hand and candy in the other. Now that we've given them a mallet, it's time to give them candy. ”

Audrey said loudly.

"But we don't have any money!"

"But we have the power, don't forget that we can raise and lower the personal position of the city lord. In the current situation, it is impossible to descend, which will provoke even greater opposition. So we have to rise. ”

"L?"

"Yes, liters. If these lords are obedient, we can raise their ranks. For example, transfer the imperial capital, and even abolish another city lord. Let him rule over two cities. ”

"You can still play like this. ”

Audrey said thoughtfully.

"Of course, it can't be that simple, it depends on the specific steps. So we still need to reply to these resignations one by one. ”

"Ah, the emperor's order to do it alone, the emperor must take care of his spirits and go to sleep now. ”

.....

Of course, Count Boris also knew about the backlash of Wayne's reforms, and he was already curious. Why did Wayne do this thankless work, the city lord and the royal family did not get any benefits.

But Wayne obviously wouldn't do such a disadvantageous thing.

Boris asked the elders of the family, but he did not get an answer. Boris had to wait.

Boris picked up the Nolan Times again by the way.

This institute is a bit interesting, and Boris, a new school, wants to do it. After all, Nolan is so successful now that there's no reason not to learn. And many of Nolan's books are no longer available for sale.

Boris felt that he would have to wait for himself to annex the domain of the Marquis of Crow, the Viscount Hall. The two of them have gone crazy, and unfortunately the heir is also crazy. They also have no families in their territory, and they also occupy an important position in the canals of the Rune Empire.

Boris has already chosen this piece of fat, and now the forces of all parties have matured and only brought the final blow. As long as the seal of Emperor Rune is sufficient.

Boris wrote his resignation and was ready to turn it in. Audrey's approval is required.

But the thought that this resignation would go through Wayne's hands, and whether it passed or not largely depended on his attitude.

Although most of them will pass, they are still unhappy. Thinking that there were many of his cronies up and down the imperial capital, he was even more unhappy and uneasy.

Wayne is not too powerful. But Audrey trusted him so much. There is no solution at all.

Boris decided to visit Count Cologne. He felt he needed the power of the Count of Cologne. Otherwise, Wayne will swallow himself sooner or later.

Papal domestic.

The Pope of the closing regimen received a letter from Ortunomar.

The content roughly means:

Now his rival party is a bit arrogant, and he can't send many troops to unite the Papal States against Rune.

But he could give the Papal States more equipment.

At the same time, the Pope had a letter of resignation in his hand.

It was handed over by Cardinal Amber.

The content means that it is not beneficial to persuade yourself not to fight with Rune.

Wayne mastered the publication of the doctrine, and he had a more powerful and nimble artillery.

And now that the Papal States are short of funds, it will be very difficult to wage war again.

The Pope looked at the letter, then at the resignation.

Put your hands crossed between your thighs.

He also had a hard time deciding.

Wayne gave him a strong sense of crisis.

Wayne's books, while not overtly negative about the doctrine, reveal many errors in the doctrine from the side. The continent of life is round, and the sun is a very large sphere.

And the derivation process is described in the book, which is very convincing.

In contrast, the doctrine is more like demagogic cult books.

Although the church began to fight back, it failed to overturn one of the doctrinal conflicts in Wayne's book. Fear and anxiety began to creep in.

If the doctrine is wrong, what is the point of the church?

In fact, the Pope himself has never met the Father, and he feels that this is because he is not religious enough. But he is the Pope, the spokesman of God the Father, and who could be more pious.

Without.

Now to the Pope's relief, Wayne hasn't yet made it clear what the magic is all about. It can't be explained, it's a miracle. It is the reason for the existence of God the Father, the evidence.

But how long can this last, if the magic is still overcome. The Papal States collapsed overnight. In contrast, it seems that any artillery, doctrinal printing is a trivial matter.

The Pope eventually picked up Marl's letter. He also saw through Mal's thoughts. I want the church to bleed more and lose less.

But the population of Ortuno seems to have enough land for them, so what is the population map left?

The Pope shook his head.

In the end, the Church's Holy Armor Legion will still have to touch the artillery monster.

Of course, there must be an old rival magician.

It is still unknown how much of a role the Church can play in this war. I have to gamble, and if I don't gamble, I will lose!

Bishop Bogdan was drinking tea lonely in the reflection room at this time, what will be the consequences of the loss of the imperial capital this time. He knows.
