Luo Ming is now a privileged aristocrat, a member of the ruling class, superior to others, and even has a special law that he kills civilians for no reason, as long as it is not too bad, he only needs to pay money.

And he at least seems to be loyal to the royal family, much better than those who pretend to be neutral and do not take a stand, let alone those nobles who disobey the yang and even openly disobey the royal orders.

As for the city of Bajina, its very demand for autonomy is already suspected of some disloyalty.

And those big families who were ruthlessly extorted by Luo Ming, among them were occasionally a few nobles, and more were rich businessmen, who were relatively wealthy commoners.

Nowadays, the royal family of the principality has not completely grasped every corner of the country, and there are still big princes and mountains in various places, and there are thorns of "disobedience to the king" everywhere.

Then, a nobleman like Luo Ming, who is capable, ruthless and decisive, and loyal to the royal family, will always be the target of the royal family, and will never punish him casually and push him into the camp against the royal family.

In these years, some nobles are shameless, and even block the road to rob caravans in their own territory, they are completely a mountain king with a noble name, and it is not too bizarre to do something like Luo Ming.

To put it more simply:

Bastards who don't pay taxes are non-nationals, traitors, and deserve a lesson.

The royal family is a big noble, and Luo Ming is a loyal little nobleman, both of whom are the ruling class, and the two are considered to be the relationship between the eldest brother and the loyal little brother.

Who will embarrass the ruling class for the sake of the ruled class, and who will embarrass their little brothers for the sake of a few non-nationals?

Princess Victoria couldn't help but sigh after reading Luo Ming's letter.

This Luo Ming really captured the royal family's standards of likes and dislikes for talents.

He showed loyalty to the royal family, showed his ability to be both civil and military, and with Charlotte, a loyal feudal monarch for generations, to vouch for him, it can be said that he can be ranked in the first order of royal trust and appointment.

But this is clearly deliberate...... He must have chosen to show loyalty and competence to the royal family after careful consideration and calculation of interests, simply because the royal family was able to provide him with the support he needed to grow and thrive.

It would be better if he had lived for generations after the loyal martyrs of the principality, who had been nurtured by the patriotic ideology of loyalty to the king, who was proud of shedding blood and sacrifice for the royal family, and who never calculated how much benefit he could gain by serving the royal family.

The princess thought of this for a moment, and then immediately banished the unrealistic delusion from her mind.

Such a loyal minister with selfless dedication is actually a typical example of a broken brain in the eyes of some people, that is, it does not account for the majority, and it will be despised.

In fact, most nobles only follow the royal family because the royal family is the most powerful and famous in the principality, and they follow the simple reason that the royal family has meat to eat.

Except for a handful of talents that the royal family has worked hard to educate, outsiders may not be able to pick out such a loyal person.

This person will definitely not be able to meet the talent gap of the royal family, so a wise person like Luo Ming, who decidedly moves closer to the royal family after thinking about it, will of course be reused.

What can really make the majority of his subordinates revered from the heart, even if they can't get benefits, will not hinder loyalty...... That's the gods.

Although the goddess of spring water was originally the patron saint of the principality, her church and the royal family did not wear a pair of pants, although there would never be a big fight between each other, but it was difficult to achieve absolute trust, and the royal power and divine power must maintain a balance, and the church personnel could not run to serve the royal family.

Otherwise, whether the church will override the royal family, or the royal family will overwhelm the church, it will become an inexplicable confusion.

After thinking for a moment, Victoria wrote a reply to Lockin to appease and commend him, and wrote down her opinion on the matter for the Grand Duchess to see, after which it would be kept for later use.

After doing all this, she left the desk, tossed an hourglass next to her, then lay down on the bed, rubbed her eyes, rolled around two more times to move her slightly stiff and sore waist, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

After about an hour, the hourglass had bottomed out, and a unique lever structure attached to it shook a bell and rang several times.

The princess immediately rolled over and got up, did not tidy up her clothes and face, but directly took a cup of warm tea next to her and drank it, and continued to work at the desk.

At this time, it was already late at night, but she was still in high spirits—the tea was not only very strong, but also appropriately supplemented by some potions.

Generally speaking, the female archduke doesn't need to work so diligently every day, and some things can be completely handed over to trusted ministers to deal with, otherwise if she survives like this, her body may collapse in just a few months.

But now the princess has to work so hard while the archduchess is still there, and she can help her shelter from the wind and rain and even carry the black pot.

Luo Ming handed over the letter at dusk, and early the next morning he received a handwritten reply from the princess.

It must have stayed up late at work, so it seems that the little fox is quite responsible.

He had some admiration for the princess for a while, but this admiration quickly faded.

On the earth the Celestial Empire college entrance examination, although there are occasionally guys who can dominate by playing, but where do most people dare to bet on their luck?

If you want to get good grades and get into a good university, you will study hard during the day and drive at night for several months. Some are just drinking strong tea, some are directly knocking on highly purified coffee # tablets (this thing is strictly speaking a poison # product), and some are studying while drinking tonics, and there are even guys who use hanging needles to directly inject nutrition in order to save time for eating and studying.

Luo Ming went to a university where two masters served as trustees, and he had the status of a special student, so he just went in to get a diploma, of course, it couldn't be easier, there was no need to do this, but he also knew the hard work of the students.

Compared with those students, how many bureaucrats who think they are diligent and conscientious have to bow to the upper hand.

Occasionally, some people continue this trend to college, and if they study so hard in college, they may become a top student; after graduating from college, they continue to do this, either they meet unladylike people and are constantly squeezed by their bosses as social animals, or they are promoted to become wealthy.

Moreover, a better system can also save the ruler countless efforts, even the mediocre lord can rule the world peacefully.

Although Luo Ming didn't think that the princess was super wise and powerful, he still had to do the work on the surface, and immediately respectfully collected the letter, and showed a flattered look in front of the messenger.
