The Senate Assembly ended with Archbishop Henry and the aristocratic faction each taking a step back.

The conversations, the proposals, and even what happened at the conference were recorded by O'Har meticulously, and as soon as the meeting was over, he took the train back to Mosk overnight.

Fortunately, the railways to the main cities were the first target of post-war repair, and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Windsor did not destroy enough to carry the treasure, so it took only two months for the main railways on the western plains to be completely repaired by the Romanov Kingdom.

Katerina got the minutes of the meeting and went to the Cathedral of St. Basil next door and told Mavi about it.

Mavi was a little nervous when he saw Archbishop Henry propose the Edict of the Free People, until he found out that Archbishop Henry had agreed to the "reasonable" demands of the aristocratic faction, and his laughter almost toppled the roof of the church.

A lot of monks gathered outside the door of the living room at once, and even the incoming people were attracted by Ma Wei's laughter, and they looked at Ma Wei laughing on the sofa, looking at each other, all with confused expressions.

"Haha... Sorry, gaffe...."

Ma Wei stopped laughing and said to Katerina, who had a strange gaze, "I really can't hold back, I'm sorry." ”

"The minutes of this meeting.... Is there anything funny about it? Katerina was puzzled, she felt that this was a very threatening report, and that if the Wisdom God Cult succeeded, it would not be good!

"It's funny throughout, it's the funniest joke I've ever seen."

Ma Wei slammed the minutes of the meeting on the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip, his tense body quickly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face: "Your Highness, do you know that I finally understood something just now?" ”

Katerina shook her head.

"That is, only people who really think hard for you and conduct in-depth research can understand your true demands."

The smile disappeared, Ma Wei's expression became serious, he glanced at the monk standing outside the door, and said in a deep voice: "If we don't think about the people sincerely, we can't find out what they actually need, such as the "Decree of Free People" proposed by Archbishop Henry, at first I thought he really understood our doctrine, but later I realized that what he knew was only some superficial surface. ”

"Fur?" Katerina picked up the minutes of the meeting on the table, re-examined the relevant content of the "Free People's Decree" on it, and wondered: "Is the abolition of serfdom and the status of freedmen and general citizenship just scratching the surface?" ”

"Your Highness, for the large number of serfs living in dire straits in the Romanov Kingdom, what they urgently and fundamentally need is not the identity of some free people.... Of course, freeman status and citizenship in general are important, but that's only a second need. "Their first needs are fertile land that can be cultivated, a baking oven that can be used without rent, and enough food to fill their stomachs..."

"When you have your stomach full and you don't have to worry about life, people will pay attention to other things, such as general citizenship, suffrage, and so on."

"When you don't have a full stomach, you give them the status of a freedman, the general citizenship, which is a palliative rather than a cure, just like taking a piece of dry bread and giving it to a thirsty and hungry traveler in the desert, who wants water more than anything else, without which dry bread will only make him die faster."

【Father Ma Wei】 【】

Hearing this analogy, Katerina and the monks outside the door all showed a look of surprise, and Mavi had already said it thoroughly, getting to the heart of the matter.

"But Father, isn't the law you asked me to propose at the General Assembly also abolishing serfdom? If Archbishop Henry treats the symptoms rather than the root cause... And you...."

Ma Wei nodded: "That's right, abolishing serfdom is the first step, because the status of serfs will be exploited and oppressed by landowners, and my real purpose is the "Land Reform Law" implemented later." ”

Seeing that Katerina could not quite understand the core content of the "Land Reform Law" that she said, Ma Wei got up and left, and after a while, came back with a handwritten paper document.

"This is the first draft of the Fa Eucalyptus that I drafted, and the main contents have been listed, Your Highness, you can take a look."

Katerina took the paper document, and the first line on it shocked her:

[The Church of Truth will do its best to promote and implement the public ownership of land for all]

"Public ownership? Priest, you want to nationalize all private land and redistribute wealth?! ”

Ma Wei said expressionlessly: "This is the only way to save the Romanov Kingdom, overthrow the existing aristocratic system, build a basic framework conducive to the development of people's livelihood, and arable land, housing, which are closely related to people's livelihood, must be nationalized, in the form of state-owned, the implementation of the national public ownership system, so that farmers have land to cultivate, workers have houses to live in." ”

At this moment, Katerina finally understood where Mavi's confidence was in founding the Church of Truth.

A small church that dared to accept her invitation, in the face of such a difficult situation in the Romanov Kingdom, what it could get its hands on must have shocked the world.

Regardless of the rest, the first article of the law proposed by Ma Wei alone is enough to gain the support of countless serfs, if it is just like this, there is nothing to be afraid of, after all, there are not many kings who directly send money to the people to obtain support in the heat of their brains, and the final result is economic collapse.

What's really scary about Mavi is....

He did not propose the "Land Reform Law" in his brain, but after careful consideration.

Compared with the "Free People Decree" proposed by Archbishop Henry, Ma Wei's draft of the "Land Reform Law" is obviously more attractive to the people, and it is many times larger.

Meantime....

Katerina also expected that once this law was proposed, it would inevitably cause an uproar.

No wonder Ma Wei said before that it was impossible for the aristocratic faction to allow his Dharma to pass....

This is equivalent to copying the home of the aristocratic faction, okay?

"Father, your law.... I'm afraid I won't be supported by O'Har either. ”

Katerina pondered for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "There are too many interests involved, you are simply making enemies of all the rich and noble people in the Romanov Kingdom!" ”

"I know." Ma Wei nodded: "So I need your support from Your Highness, only if you agree, those nobles who support you will be able to accept this law." ”

"I'm afraid my prestige will not be enough to get them to support this Agrarian Reform Law." Katerina said calmly: "They are following me for the greater good, and this law is precisely to make their illusions come to naught, Father, is it too hasty to carry out land reform directly?" I think we should use the method of boiling frogs in warm water and take our time step by step. ”

【Father Ma Wei】 【】

"His Majesty Peter, who is also pursuing the method of reform of boiling frogs in warm water, and the result?" Ma Wei's expression was serious, and his tone was very serious: "Your Highness, we are not orthodox at the moment, and the Romanov Kingdom is not suitable for slow reform, what you want to get is the support of the people, not the aristocratic faction." ”

"Of course, Your Highness, your worries are not unreasonable, if all your own people run out, then won't we become the commander of the light pole?"

"As long as Your Highness can keep Onufri, Ravl, and Makarov, the generals who are loyal to you, we don't have to care about what the aristocratic faction thinks."

Katerina was deep in thought, of course she knew the benefits of the Agrarian Reform Act, for the Romanov kingdom, when power was completely centralized and an ambitious king was added, then the rise of the kingdom was only a matter of time, and the light shining on the Romanovs was no longer an empty word.

How many aristocrats would continue to support them after the Land Reform Act was introduced?

Katerina wasn't sure, and she didn't know the bottom of her mind.

This is simply a test of the loyalty of generals and nobles!

"Father, what are your chances of winning?" Katerina looked up and looked straight at Mavi.

"If it was before Archbishop Henry agreed to the request of the aristocratic faction, I was only 50% sure, but he actually damn agreed, thanks to him, I think we are nine out of ten."

The window trembled slightly, Ma Wei turned his head, stared at the dim night sky, and whispered, "Your Highness, the wind is blowing." ”

"Is it our wind?"

Ma Wei smiled: "Of course, this is the wind of change. ”

Archbishop Henry has already revealed a flaw, and this flaw will be fatal in Mavey's eyes.

"Presumably, in order to suppress the Church of Truth, Archbishop Henry will quickly pass the Decree of the Free People, and at the same time write the demands of the aristocratic faction.... Here's your chance. ”

Ma Wei stood up and said: "Your Highness, I will draft the law as quickly as possible, and entrust Ohar to propose it at the next conference, please be sure to stabilize your generals, they are the only variable, but I think there is nothing wrong with this." ”

Katerina smiled bitterly, "Priest, you seem to be more sure than I am. ”

"Of course, we have Edward, it.... It is possible to control humans. "In order to prevent anyone from attempting to murder His Highness, all cooks, servants, and doctors in the Kremlin must be strictly scrutinized, and food, water, and medicine must also be purchased uniformly to strengthen prevention," Mavi said. ”

"At the same time, I will let Edward continue to protect Your Highness, and at such a critical moment, Your Highness's safety must be guaranteed."

"Edward will help me." Katerina bowed her head and said: "As for the problem of cooks and servants, don't worry, I have already arranged for Bodlinov to investigate, what they have done, who they have come into contact with recently, where is their home, how many people are still in the family, where are their ancestors buried and who they have dealings with..... It's all clear. ”

Ma Wei was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "It seems that Your Highness, you have taken precautions." ”

"I'm not going to let my father's thing happen to me again."

Working with smart people is peace of mind....

With emotion in his heart, Ma Wei turned his head to look at Dino in the crowd at the door: "Dino, when the time is ripe, distribute the newspapers we printed to various cities and towns, and hand them over to the local responsible monks, and when Archbishop Henry's "Free People Decree" is officially promulgated, it will be distributed immediately." ”
