However, the question did not last long.

Luo Ming now rules most of the county of Van Shei, with a population of 68,472 according to the census, and has established a relatively complete cabinet and other government structures.

Although the princess has not yet agreed to him to raise the title to earl, except for a few nobles, the rest of the nobles pay more attention to strength than a simple title, and no one will think that his strength is not enough to enter the level of an earl.

As for what kind of level the count is? In many places, the count's territory is directly called "the earl country," and it is not surprising that outsiders flatter him and call him "king."

There is basically no such phenomenon in the Duchy of Lothar, but the count also belongs to the level of "princes" completely.

All in all, after climbing from the bottom to this level step by step, after a little adaptation for a while, your horizons will naturally become broader, and you will be able to see more and farther - which is more useful than talking about 10,000 sentences.

Of course, the kind of unlucky children who were "born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women" from the beginning are not among them, and it is difficult for them to even see the court clearly, let alone the world.

Luo Ming thought about it for a while, and roughly guessed why His Highness Black Sun did not break the rules and directly distribute benefits, but made such a twist and turn within the limits of the rules.

Of course, the rules are formulated by the superior to restrain the subordinate, and the ruling class is formulated to restrain the ruled class.

But in another sense, it is also a compromise between the superior and the inferior.

Since it is the superior who makes the rules, it is definitely more beneficial to the superior, but it also restricts them to act within the rules.

For example, taxes must be collected in accordance with regulations, and cannot be looted indiscriminately (although the implementation is not necessarily so strict, but at least there are principles);

For example, if a nobleman kills a commoner for no reason, he must pay compensation (although the compensation is small and not implemented in some areas, it is much better than if the life of a commoner is not protected at all and kills as he wants).

If there are no rules at all, the superior will behave willfully towards the inferior.

And the subordinates who are completely unprotected by the rules will be abused and oppressed by them with no rules and no limits, and they will definitely be full of resentment.

Sooner or later, they will not be able to bear it anymore and will rise up in a large-scale violent revolt. Although the superior can suppress it, it may not be successful, and even if it succeeds, it will cause him to suffer huge losses.

Even if they are passive and sabotage, they can still harm the interests of those in charge.

Only when there is a rule can the ruling order be stable, and the subordinates can live, produce and work with peace of mind - as long as the ruling order is stable, since the superior is already the superior, of course they can steadily obtain the greatest benefits.

In short, those who break the rules will certainly be punished, while those who break the rules will dismantle their own platform and harm their own interests.

Breaking the rules and giving favors wantonly will harm the interests of the superior on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will also make the person who receives the favor become an outlier in the system and be treated differently.

This is also the reason why people on Earth discriminate against related households and second-generation people, and despise airborne leaders.

According to Aya, there are no other Black Sun Apostles in the world except for them, but this does not mean that the lower realm is the same, and His Highness the Black Sun is also a kind of protection for him.
