"What do you think?", Empress Pars handed the letter to the Imperial Chancellor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The chancellor of the Orlando Empire was still very young, only sixty-one years old, and he only looked like he was in his forties from the outside. The black hair is parted to one side, and the parting line is so precise that there is not a single hair that has gone off. His facial features are very soft, not like a powerful minister with great authority, and the slightly squeezed corners of his eyebrows make him look less aggressive than the imperial marshal, less of a compelling sharpness, and more of a sense of intimacy. His lips were full but not thick, and his cheekbones were rounded, and he looked wide, his eyes were of a good size, and his eyes shone with wisdom.

If you don't care about his identity, he is more like a kind uncle who can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

After receiving the letter from Empress Pars, Xavier, the Prime Minister of the Empire and the golden nobleman, first glanced at the seal and confirmed that it was Wren's badge before turning his head to read the letterhead. There weren't too many pleasantries on the letterhead, and from the very beginning of the title, all the way down were sharp words.

Soon, Xavier put down the letter, closed his eyes and thought, and nodded solemnly after a moment, "Wren has grown much faster than expected, his proposal is very good, if it can be implemented, we will have a more accurate statistics on the strength in the hands of the feudal nobles in various places." The weapons they lose every year, the food they consume, and the sensitive materials they buy can all be found out one by one. What's more important is that once they make a move, we can get accurate information in the first time, which is the most important thing. ”

Empress Pars kept nodding, she agreed with Xavier's opinion, she and the young prime minister valued the information gathered through the monitoring of materials more than the control of materials and the acquisition of large profits. The power at the hands of the nobles has always been the most wanted to know by the royal family, but it is also the most undetectable. Every family has its own private soldiers, and they really have as many as they say? Some hidden forces lurk under the surface, and often these forces can determine the change of the local situation.

Once the strategic material monitoring system is established, the continuous change of data from multiple parties can detect the approximate true strength of a nobleman, and can also prevent these lords from sudden military action.

"Then Wren's proposal ......," said Empress Pars, raising the letter in her hand and looking at Xavier.

The Prime Minister smiled, "I agreed, and the day after tomorrow, I will formally introduce this bill in the Diet and urge the Imperial Diet to pass it." ”

In essence, the interests of the prime minister and the emperor were the same, and the gold nobles were well aware that no single gold nobleman could rule the entire empire alone. The empire is too big, the aristocracy is too big, and it can't suppress those ambitions on its own, and only by uniting everyone can do that.

"Speaking of which, Wren will be an adult next year, right? What is his Majesty going to do with his coming-of-age ceremony? Is it to invite him back to the imperial capital to do it, or let him do it in Ortrenburg?", Xavier suddenly changed the topic and talked about Wren's personal affairs, "At his age, he should also have a family." I used to worry that he wouldn't be able to do well and that he wouldn't be able to do it, but I obviously thought about it too much. How can a person with a divine bloodline be mediocre?If Your Majesty doesn't mind, my youngest daughter happens to be four years younger than Wren. ”

Empress Pars glanced at Xavier indifferently, she had just ascended the throne for a month, and she already had a momentum that was not angry but powerful. The eyes of the two met in the air, and after a moment they staggered, and neither had the upper hand in the brief exchange. Empress Pars suddenly smiled, "Speaking of which, I have a sister too!"

Xavier responded with a smile, "Yes, there are really too many people who are marriageable, let's take a look." ”

Wren was extremely popular in the eyes of the two, not because of what he did or what kind of potential he had, but because he was only one person. It is impossible for a person to rebuild a huge family, even if you have the ability to give birth again, how many people can you have in 50 years, how many descendants can you have, and how huge a family can you form? Therefore, if the Alcanian family wants to rise again, it must rely on external forces, that is, the power of foreign relatives.

Once the power of the relatives family begins to enter Wren's family, the subtle infiltration will continue to affect Wren and his family. Perhaps in a hundred years, the noble surname of Alcania will exist in name only, becoming a supernumerary branch of another golden aristocracy. This title of golden nobleman is too expensive, so expensive that the Prime Minister of the Empire and Her Majesty the Empress are both-for-tat and refuse to take a step back.

Soon, two days later, Xavier's "Law on the Management and Supervision of Sensitive Strategic Materials" was officially submitted to the National Assembly, and the entire aristocratic circle was in an uproar. It is true that there are many nobles who are not so smart, but there is also a group of nobles who are very smart. Stupid people just need to follow the smart people, and when the smart people start to resist, the stupid people don't need to know why, they just need to know how to resist.

The nobles knew very well that once this bill was passed, the nobles' income would be greatly reduced, and even more terrifying time would be tied to a rope around their necks from now on, and they would be held in the hands of the eight top gold nobles of the empire all the time, and they would be held by others. All the time of the Diet was devoted to the question of whether the matter should be formally referred to the Imperial Diet, and many nobles demanded that Xavier immediately revoke the bill and amend it before submitting it.

The aristocratic group led by the golden nobles is also actively resisting, and the two sides are evenly matched, even the neutral wallgrass are involved, attacking and opposing Xavier to the fullest.

But alas, they still did useless work.

Her Majesty the Empress Pars directly ordered the approval of this bill in an arrogant and unreasonable way, so that some nobles who vacillated their positions became turtles with shrunken heads, but in fact, it didn't matter whether they shrank or not, His Majesty the Emperor had this power, and finally successfully passed the vote of the Diet. The losers gritted their teeth and vowed to block the passage of the bill in the Imperial Diet, and not to allow Xavier and Her Majesty the Empress to ignore the interests of the common nobles.

This turmoil not only caused a huge shock in the imperial capital, but also quickly spread to the entire Orlando Empire. The local vassals wrote to demand the removal of Xavier, and even demanded the complete repeal of this absurd bill, which infringed on the interests of the aristocratic class. It is said that on the first day of the Reichstag Day, when this bill was first mentioned, the 108 members of the Reich were divided into two distinct camps, and they fought each other and staged an all-out military parade in the Reichstag.

More attention to the bill is paid attention to by businessmen from all over the country.

This bill may be just a rope for the nobility to make them less happy. But for the merchants, it was to cut off their hands and feet. Profits can be given up, but they can't give up special materials such as grain and steel, which is related to their social status and confidence in facing the privileged class. Many merchants and chambers of commerce have formed support groups and lobbying groups, and they have gone crazy in public relations in the major capitals and imperial capitals, and it is said that the total cost of these merchants has exceeded one million gold coins.

Famous celebrities of the upper class are constantly shuttling back and forth between different nobles, and the entire imperial capital has become an incomparably huge social field, with compromises, transactions, and conspiracies filling every inch of land and every inch of air. As long as you open the door, you will be greeted by all kinds of gossip, which are false and true, so that people can never tell who is true and who is fake.

Wren, who was far away in Ortrenburg, did not pay more attention to Pars after writing his thoughts, because he knew that this bill would inevitably pass in the end, and even did not hesitate to make some dirty political deals with the nobles for this reason.

He was more concerned about the development of Ortlenburg than about the inevitable result.

Under Hugo's authority, the grain merchants can't hide any secrets, he is like a pervert, no, a real pervert. He preferred that the grain merchants would put up a little resistance, preferably to keep some secret, so that he would have reason to apply some particularly interesting ideas to them. Thanks to Hugo's perversion, the grain merchants were extremely honest in front of him, and even explained everything about going to the toilet from front to back or back to front.

A large amount of wealth and food was gathered together - and this was also due to the Chamber of Commerce, which was forced by Rennes to threaten to retain the franchise, and the Chamber of Commerce of Bell Province immediately responded and remedied. After intense discussions, the Chamber of Commerce changed its overall structure and goals, from chasing greater power to returning to its original intention, pursuing more profits within safe and controllable normative behavior. It is said that the Chamber of Commerce almost split because of this, but it was Sarcomo who used the prestige he had accumulated over decades to overwhelm everyone and change the minds of these people.

According to the grapevine, several prestigious businessmen in the capital Mirin disappeared overnight, along with their families. Some people say that they were cleaned up by the new merchant faction led by Sarcomo, but the official version of the Chamber of Commerce is that they split off, left the province of Bell, and went to chase their dreams elsewhere.

Just because of Wren's anger, the entire empire became turbulent, one of the twenty cardinals of the church, the old man named Winter Sun, quietly came to Ortlenburg.
