Chapter 463: Dividing the Fields
"It turns out that His Majesty's reliance is on the Falcon family. When the third prince mentioned the name Reinhardt, Duke Luke slapped his face excitedly and suddenly realized.
"It's just that I didn't expect His Majesty to trust Earl Reinhardt so much, which is quite rare for us who have always been politically married. ”
"Hmph, that guy Long Tide has been in love with Sophia for many years, which is famous in the entire Shenghui City. My father made a good calculation and sold Sophia for a good price. ", the third prince said a little sourly.
"Look at their filial piety and fatherly appearance, plus Sophia will blow the wind on her pillow in the future, the north will be a big help to my father in the future. ”
Duke Luke nodded, "If the Falcon family helps, Your Majesty's troops left on the northern border can also be liberated, no wonder Your Majesty is so confident that he doesn't care about the rebellion of the Holy Sect." ”
"It's just that you said before, what you are most afraid of is that Your Majesty is smart and mistaken by cleverness. Forgive me for being foolish, and I can't see any omissions in Your Majesty's plan. ”
"That's because none of you really know about the Holy Religion, and you don't know the true hidden power of the Holy Religion. ", the third prince sighed.
"Because I have been wary of the Holy Sect for a long time, I have sent people to conduct an extremely in-depth investigation of the Holy Sect, and they are extremely dangerous, such as ......"
The third prince was about to say the key point, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and his henchmen handed him an update on the information.
The third prince quickly flipped to the side, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his face sank like water.
Duke Luke saw that there was something wrong with the third prince's face, "Your Highness, what happened again." ”
"What I feared did happen. As he spoke, the third prince handed the information to Duke Luke.
"According to the latest information, the Holy Sect, in the name of God's love for the world, has distributed the land plundered from those local nobles to the local peasants according to a certain percentage. ”
"What!", Duke Luke hurriedly grabbed the information and began to read it carefully. As he watched, his hands trembled slightly.
"How can this be reasonable, how can it be justified! They will not be able to please them in the future!", he said with a hideous face, gritting his teeth, for Duke Luke, who had always been known for his elegance and composure, he was quite out of shape at this time.
His tone was angry, but there was also a hint of fear and horror.
"It seems that the Holy Sect has broken the kettle, so it has adopted this method of losing both sides. Even if they really seize the kingdom of St. Teresa in the future, it will be easy to give away these lands, but it will be difficult to take them back. ”
"Without the shackles and restraints of the land, will those untouchables still obediently obey? Will they still obediently serve, pay food, and pay taxes? This practice of the Holy Religion has certainly weakened the rule of our Violet royal family and nobles, but it is also digging its own corners. ”
Duke Luke slapped the message on the table in front of him with a "snap", stood up and paced back and forth restlessly.
"Rat's eyes, rat's eyes!", he said back and forth twice.
"I remember that the Holy Church also had its own teaching fields, which were also handed over to tenant farmers to cultivate, and after the harvest, the church collected most of the grain. Now that they have distributed the land to the commoners, the nature of the distribution is elated, grateful to Dade, what will those who have not received be distributed?"
"Shenghui City is so vast and has such a large population, can the Holy Sect really give everyone a piece of land? As the Holy Sect gains power, their teaching fields are also increasing, and when the nobles' fields are all divided, can they still divide their own teaching fields?"
"People don't suffer from poverty but from inequality, don't look at the current Holy Religion mobilizing civilians and making a vigorous effort, it will also be these civilians who will subvert and overthrow the Holy Religion in the future!", Duke Luke said bitterly.
"That's also for the future, I'm afraid of the Holy Sect's move, and we can't deal with it now. ", the third prince said with a wry smile.
"The Holy Religion originally had a great influence among the common people, but now as soon as the policy of dividing the land came out, naturally everyone supported it and responded to it. And our Violet royal family is naturally shouted and beaten by everyone, and it is unpopular with the people. ”
"Those civilians can't make any big waves, and even if they were tied together, how many nails would they be able to hit?", Duke Luke comforted.
"The royal family and our nobles have absolute force in their hands, and more importantly, there is a blood feud between the mages and the Holy Sect. As long as there is the help of the mage, no matter how many civilians help them, the Holy Sect has nothing to fear. ”
"That's not what I'm afraid of. The third prince shook his head.
"The Holy Sect is already powerful, and now that it has the help of the vast majority of civilians, it will be even more difficult to defeat them. ”
"But the most crucial point is: even if we defeat them, how can we completely eradicate the Holy Sect and wipe out the remnants of the Holy Sect?" the Third Prince asked rhetorically.
"Wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows. Even if the Holy Religion is temporarily defeated, with the help of the civilians, who occupy the vast majority of the kingdom's population, the Holy Religion can be reduced to pieces and continue to preach. When the general trend of the world changes, or our Violet royal family decays and weakens, the Holy Sect will rise up and seek to subvert the rule of our royal family again. ”
"Again and again, again and again, the water drops through the water, gathering the sand of the tower. Even if the rule of the royal family is iron, it will be grinded, even if the father wins a temporary victory this time, what is the use?"
"The general trend is already on the side of the Holy Sect. ”
Duke Luke looked at the third prince with some surprise and sighed at his long-term vision. At the beginning, he made up his mind to support the third prince, but it was just a forced investment by the scheming Duke Luke, under the aggressive threat of the Holy Sect, he could not watch the second prince who was already a puppet of the Holy Sect ascend to the throne, and after weighing the pros and cons, he had to sacrifice his loyalty to the third prince.
At this moment, he finally found that he still underestimated His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Your vision is far beyond the reach of others. Duke Luke exclaimed convincingly.
"However, if we can really defeat the Holy Sect, the initiative will eventually return to our hands, and the Holy Sect will not dare to operate openly in broad daylight. When the time comes, as long as Your Majesty promulgates a new law, declares the Holy Religion a cult, and then adopts all kinds of means to eradicate the foundation and influence of the Holy Religion, and the Holy Religion will continue to weaken over time, the Holy Religion will just remember the momentum, and I am afraid that it will also be powerless. ”
"I'm afraid I can't do it!", the third prince sighed.
"Not to mention whether the father is willing to eradicate the Holy Religion, this is in conflict with his faith. The most direct question is whether the land allocated to the peasants should be recovered.
