Chapter 124

The opportunity that the Grand Archons of the Dhaka Business Alliance had been waiting for soon came. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After discussion, the Merchant faction of the Gold Coin Federation decided to partially follow the example of the Northwest Republic and implement the policy of taking the surname of the common people to a limited extent.

Here's how to do it:

First: at least three generations have settled in the Gold Federation, have no criminal record in the past twenty years, have fought in the army or have served in the army many times, and participated in the Great Migration - those who meet three of the above four conditions will receive a surname

Second: Retired adventurers who have settled, have been paying taxes for the past 20 years, have been captured in battles, have a skill in medicine, clerical work, accounting, etc., have a formal residence in the Gold Federation and have lived there for at least 10 years - if you meet two of the above, you will receive a surname.

Thirdly, the family has fought for the Gold Federation for more than 20 years, has received an official commendation for meritorious service in the past 20 years, has been disabled in the line of duty and the families of martyrs, and has an independent firm duly registered with the Merchant Union - the above is met to obtain a surname.

In addition, the Gold Coin Federation does not care about the problem of duplicate surnames, as long as you want, there is no problem with surnames. Even if there are 1,000 people with the surname Siriu (silver) and 10,000 people with the surname "Gordon" (gold), it is perfectly fine.

After this decree was promulgated, others were fine, and the gold coin federation opened the pot first.

The aristocratic faction was naturally furious, and they all scolded one by one. To be polite and scold the merchant faction for breaking the rules and corrupting the atmosphere of the country, it is a depraved and corrupt act. If you are more severe, you will directly scold the merchant faction for having a sick head, bad morals, and despicable behavior, and it is definitely the disharmony in family life that has led to the accumulation of excessive pressure. Some people even claim that the leaders of the merchant faction did such perverse things because they believed in the abyss demons, in order to destroy the order of the world and cause turmoil and disaster...... Yunyun.

But scolding and scolding, they have nothing to do with the merchant faction. Naturally, it is effortless to fight the mouth cannon, but if it develops into a war, even the two leaders of the aristocratic faction, the Marquis of Jewel and the Marquis of Gold, are not willing to pay such a big price.

In fact, the Golden Marquis Gordon is the most depressed in his heart, the Gordon family is one of the most noble families in the Gold Coin Federation, before this year, not to mention the Gold Coin Federation, no country in the main plane dared to have the surname Gordon - those with the surname this in the past were either incorporated into the side branch of the Gordon family, or changed their surnames, or ...... There is no "or" anymore.

But this time, the Northwest Republic plus the Gold Coin Federation Merchant Faction, there will be at least tens of thousands of people with the surname "Gordon", no matter how strong and powerful the Gordon family is, there is no way to kill them all.

Of course, they can also try to try, but ...... Neither the merchant faction nor the Northwest Republic were in the Gordon family's sphere of influence. Probably only those adventurers who do black business can be hired to do the work, and whether they can do it is still a question mark.

But one thing is certain, it costs money, a lot of money.

Marquis Gordon was certainly rich, and very rich. But unlike Sui Xiong, who is always obsessed with spending his money in order to promote social and economic circulation, he doesn't want to spend money. If he could, he wished he hadn't spent a single copper!

"Your Excellency Gordon, I heard that there are many people in the north who want to be surnamed Gordon, and it seems that they all admire you and your family's prestige!"

The most infuriating thing is that there is a shameless old man who is blocking him!

Marquis Gordon clenched his fists, but a smile appeared on his face, and he said casually: "Marquis of Yuke, I have heard that there are many people who want to be surnamed Yuke......

"This is a good thing, it shows that our Yuke family has a good image. Marquis Yuke didn't care at all, and said with a smile, "All along, I think that our family is a bit thin, and it's always good to have more relatives and friends." ”

Thinly populated?!

Marquis Gordon was so angry that his nose was crooked.

The Yuke family has always been famous for its descendants, and the Marquis of Yuke's generation alone has more than 20 direct and close relatives. And the Marquis of Yuke alone gave birth to four sons and three daughters, and now has five...... Oh, and now six grandchildren.

In contrast, the Marquis of Gordon had only two sons in total and one grandson.

Yuke, this bastard, is talking nonsense in front of him?!

Marquis Gordon was eager to jump out of the magic image and smash the old thing's peach blossom with his dragonskin glove fist, but he couldn't.

Not only could he not do it, but he had to continue to put on a smile.

It was really not easy, so much so that his smile stiffened a little.

If there were only two marquis at this meeting, then there would probably not be much to say about it. Fortunately, there were also the counts in attendance, especially the vassals of the Marquis of Gordon.

One of the counts, one of his vassals, immediately spoke: "Lord Yuk, what do you think of the merchant faction giving commoners surnames on this scale, and is this a trampling on the honor of our nobles?"

Marquis Yuke smiled slightly and said, "What do you think the honor of the nobles lies?"

"It's in the glorious bloodline!"

"It's about the merits of our ancestors!"

"It's about the reputation that the family has maintained for generations!"

After everyone finished talking, Marquis Yuke shook his head and said lightly: "It's all my own people here, and I don't need to talk about those falsehoods." What is the honor of the nobility? It is that we can kill those who do not believe that we have honor. ”

He said it lightly, but there was a hideous murderous intent in his words.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they remembered that he was a well-known hardliner among the aristocracy, and his personality was the most tough and resolute.

"So...... You mean, to fight?" asked the Marquis of Gordon in a deep voice.

Marquis Yuke shook his head again: "Fight, fight with whom? How to fight? Are you sure that we can win the merchant faction now? Even if we win the merchant faction, can we still defeat the Northwest Republic again? I said in the front, I can contribute to the merchant faction." Fight the Northwest Republic, don't look for me, I don't want to die. ”

The nobles were silent, and the Marquis of Yuke pointed out the crux of the matter - the key to this plebeian surname movement was to launch its Northwest Republic. Since there is no way to take the Northwest Republic, then even if you win the merchant faction, it will not be of much significance.

Anyway, the honor that had long been the exclusive preserve of the aristocracy had been given to the commoners.

"But we can't just leave it at that, at least stop the merchant faction from doing it. "Otherwise, we will have internal conflicts." ”

"Yes, but to be honest, I'm not optimistic about solving this matter through war. "In my opinion, we can only strengthen our administration in our own territories, and fight those who want to promote the movement of the common people - we must be ruthless, heavy, and make them understand that this matter is not negotiable!"

The great nobles nodded one after another, and their eyes all showed murderous intent...... (To be continued.) )
