Calvo was ruthless in his heart, since he sat in this position, he should be responsible, which is true, but he was a little unwilling before.

"I propose that the "tax payment in lieu of taxation" in the era of Basil II be restored, and that the nobles be punished by depriving themselves of their noble status for the encroachment of free agricultural land, and that the title be automatically inherited in order, and that a fine of 10,000 ducats be imposed at the same time, and that the insufficient amount be mortgaged at the market value of the land, and that the resolution be passed and submitted to His Majesty for approval." m.

After Calvo finished speaking, he snatched the document, pressed his prime minister's seal on it, and then looked at everyone.

"Please put a stamp on the document!"

"Calvo! Are you crazy? Do you want to cause a civil war? ”

"This is a joint decision of the Cabinet, and everyone in the Cabinet must agree!"

"I don't agree, it's ridiculous!"

Flores stood up and pointed at Calvo, unceremoniously.

"If you disagree, I will use the 'prohibition power', you should consider it carefully."

Calvo's eyes narrowed, and the threat in his eyes was unmistakable.

"The power of prohibition" is the exclusive power of the prime minister, the cabinet meeting is presided over by the emperor, and the prime minister presides over when the emperor is away, and the prime minister has the power to prohibit a cabinet member from participating in a certain resolution once a year, but to put it bluntly, all the power of interpretation belongs to the emperor, and the power of the prime minister is also based on the imperial power.

Although the prime minister presided over the meeting, it does not mean that the resolution can be issued directly bypassing the emperor, it must be approved by the emperor, and Calvo was still wondering, obviously Constantine was not far from here, why let him preside over the meeting, but now, he seems to understand something.

"Well, why bother?"

Chavez sighed, now everyone can see that this is what Constantine asked them to do, and now some of them disagree, they may be cleared from the cabinet tomorrow, Chavez's words seem to be said to Calvo, but in fact they are said to Constantine.

Cesipe shook his head secretly, the aristocracy has always been the cornerstone of the country, not because of how much tax they provide, but because they have always been the main object of the source of the empire's troops, you are suppressing the nobles so badly now, who will be willing to provide the source of troops, unless...

Thinking of this, Cecipe was shocked, according to his thoughts, it should not be like this, but Constantine's signs indicate that perhaps the emperor wanted to recruit civilians on a large scale.

It should be noted that in the beginning, all people, including nobles and senators, are obliged to serve in the military, and with the change of time, gradually only civilians serve in the military, but this does not mean that civilians are willing to serve in the military, due to legal reasons, once civilians serve in the military, their descendants can only be forced to serve, so more and more civilians are unwilling to serve, and the soldiers and knights provided by the nobles are considered nobles' domestic soldiers or even slaves, these people do not need too much management by the empire, do not need to allocate land, do not need you to train them, Even more courageous because of the encouragement of the nobility, on the one hand, the empire also relied on foreign mercenaries to take on the heavy responsibility of defending the country, so the proportion of civilians in the imperial army shrank at the same time as the imperial army shrank.

The conscription of civilians into the army meant a great increase in military spending, and training was, among other things, a large expense, according to the Roman way of training, not only the training time was long, but also the cost of training was high, not to mention the distribution of weapons and equipment, which until then had been provided by the aristocracy.

Calvo blushed and didn't speak, Chavez took out his seal, glanced at the back of the room, pressed his Chancellor's seal on the paper, and followed, and the rest of the ministers had to follow suit, Flores struggled inwardly for a long time, and finally had no choice but to compromise.

Everyone has selfish intentions, and for these ministers, loyalty is a little stronger fear of the emperor than of the nobility, and today's behavior proves that the cabinet still has confidence in this victorious emperor.

The issuance of this document was destined to cause an uproar, and Constantine's travel plan and meetings with churches everywhere became more numerous, although on the surface this was only what a pious Christian monarch should do, but the actual purpose was to be seen by the wise.

After the meeting, Laszló and Louis walked out of the palace hand in hand, and a court eunuch suddenly stopped the two,

"Two adults, please move to the back court, Your Majesty wants to see you."

Laszlo looked at Louis curiously, and saw that the other party was indifferent, and his heart was also very calm.

"Then let's go, Your Majesty should miss you, Laszlo, he treats you as if you were his own, and he values you very much."

Louis and Laszló laughed, and Laszlo only smiled, but his feelings for Constantine would not be faked.

The two had just arrived in the garden in the backyard, in a gazebo, Constantine was holding a piece of cloth and gesturing up and down with his hands, as if he was measuring something.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Oh, you two are here?"

Constantine turned around, saw Louis and the others, and beckoned to Laszlo,

"Come, Laszlo, I have recently obtained a good batch of purple silk here, this material is good, you can come and measure the size, and let the palace weaving department weave a few clothes for you."

and told the great eunuch beside him,

"Let the people at the weaving office sew together the fine fur and purple silk from Ross, it is cold in Hungary, it can't be too thin, make a few cloaks, linings, and robes, and Louie's, Louis will follow my style, and just cut some patterns."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The great eunuch bowed his head, took the purple cloth from the emperor's hand, and bowed back.

"How? Laszlo, Your Majesty has always been very concerned about you, ah... Ha ha! ”

Louis patted Laszlo on the shoulder, Laszlo couldn't help it, with a little embarrassment in his expression, like a junior when he was taken care of by his elders.

"Okay, let's not talk about that,"

Constantine waved his hand, and the two of them became serious,

"I called you here this time to learn about the situation in Hungary, and secondly, there are some things that I need your help with."

"Your Majesty, please give the order!"

Constantine nodded slightly and looked at Laszlo,

"What is the situation in Hungary? Are there any opposition forces? Need help? What is the quality of life of the population? What was the ratio of nobles to monks? What about parliamentary factions? How many free farmers are there? How much land do they have? Do you know the sources of troops, economic resources, and trade routes? ”

This is Constantine's homework to spot check Laszlo, in the final analysis, he is still worried that Laszlo is young, afraid that he will make things random if he doesn't understand the situation in the country.

"Hungary is dominated by aristocratic forces, supplemented by the church, there are many large landowners, there are fewer small landowners such as free peasants, the country's military strength comes from the nobles' private soldiers, the economy comes from agricultural taxes and customs duties, commercial taxes, etc., mainly agriculture, less commercial trade, mostly transshipment trade, goods from Rus' are transferred to the Adriatic Sea to Venice, there are more seaports in Dalmatia, and this area is a trade distribution center."

"There is a very interesting person in my country, named Magash, the black army he created is not bad, and the combat power is high, and he has gotten rid of the control of the aristocracy, I think I can start from this aspect and control the country."

"Very well, Laszlo, I am relieved that you know your country well."

Constantine was very approving, and then the topic changed,

"I've been informed that the situation in the country is a little unstable, and that the nobles of Anatolia have been joined together to form a 'Freedom Society', and this organization is still growing, and their purpose is very clear, that is, they are dissatisfied with me,"

Constantine sneered,

"The 'Calis case' has made them feel like a man, this group of people is counted as one, all of them are extralegal fanatics, maybe now they just want to protect themselves, but once today's cabinet approval is issued, I am worried that it will cause domestic changes,"

Constantine sighed again,

"I'm afraid the war is going to start again, but unfortunately the sky is full of gunsmoke again, but it's a pity that the wounded soldiers still have to raise their swords and guns, this is all my sin!"

Constantine slapped his palm on the pillar,

"Even so, I will not show any mercy to them, this move is not for myself, but for the eternal survival of the empire, Louis, Laszlo, you two are armed to fight, especially Louis, you bypass the cabinet, find Giovanni, let him select elite soldiers, secretly strengthen training, to be ready to fight at any time, Laszlo..."

Constantine was about to give another command, but the arrival of the great eunuch interrupted him, and the great eunuch also knew that he had interrupted the emperor's important order, so he lay on the ground and shouted loudly,

"Your Majesty, there is urgent news!"

Constantine glanced at the distance with some surprise, and as soon as he beckoned, the big eunuch ran over and handed a letter to Constantine, and ran to Constantine and whispered a few words in Constantine's ear,

Constantine hurriedly opened the envelope, read it at a glance, glanced at Laszlo strangely, and then handed him the letter, Laszlo took it, looked at it carefully, and still didn't know why,

"What's wrong, Your Majesty? What if Georg loses? I'm not the King of Bohemia anymore. ”

The content of the letter is very simple, Georg won and then lost in the face of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III, and the domestic situation was in danger.

Georg first confronted the Elector of Saxony, smashed the forces of the Elector of Saxony with his famous Hussite chariot, then pursued the victory, and then met and confronted the Emperor, and the situation seemed to be very good.

But the next situation surprised the whole European world, the Tabor Hussites who had been suppressed by the Holy Grail represented by Georg launched an uprising in Prague, conquered the Prague city government in one fell swoop, and then occupied the city center to confront the king's army who rushed to hear the news, Georg heard the news, hurriedly led the army back, but on the way met the Brandenburg Domain, was attacked by the vassal and the emperor on both sides, and had no choice but to retreat to Moravia, Prague was close to being lost.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the King of Bohemia is asking for an audience outside the palace!"

Some people died, but not completely......
