Chapter XVIII Policies

After Austin and Hawthorn had discussed the tactics, Hawthorn left to make arrangements. And things on Hubbard's side, as Austin expected, didn't go well, and he didn't even do it to get these people together. A few people who lost less in the last siege and suppression of Rocky Village saw that Austin had a tense relationship with the church, and they didn't give Austin any face, so they didn't come, but hugged the church's forces tightly.

Hubbard looked at such a scene, his face was a little ugly, even if he already knew that these things would not go very smoothly, but he didn't expect that these fiefdom nobles didn't even give some basic face, it was really something without any education, even if this was the territory of a certain lord before, but he couldn't resist the new lord so much.

"When the time comes, those who don't come don't have to wait for them, this is a policy implemented by His Highness, and everyone needs to implement it together. Hubbard gave his revised policy to the nobles who came, and the nobles picked it up and looked at it carefully, except for a few who were thoughtful, and everyone else quickly put down the papers in their hands.

"My lord, I'm not against this thing, but according to the rules, these highnesses are not allowed to interfere, this is completely out of line, there is no need to think about it. A nobleman objected.

The other nobles nodded and agreed, although Hubbard knew that this matter was not so easy to pass, but he revised it several times, and it was already very gentle, and he didn't even read it and objected, so he held back his anger and said: "Everyone, I think everyone is still ...... after reading it."

"Mr. Hubbard, I don't think this has violated the principles of nobility from the beginning, and there is no value in looking at it, sorry. I still have a lot of things to attend to in my territory, so I'll take my leave. ”

After the man finished speaking, he walked out, and when the other nobles saw this and were about to leave, there was a loud noise at the door, and the man who had already gone out flew in directly, and everyone looked at the door, including Hubbard.

The momentum was so loud that he knew that the only person who could make such a move could only be Hawthorn, but it still made Hubbard even want to call the guards over. The huge momentum startled Austin, who was following Hawthorn.

This door is made of solid wood, isn't it? Just kicked it to pieces? Austin still looked solemn, but his eyes kept sweeping the door.

This is probably the first time Austin has seen Hawthorn make a move, usually just watching Hawthorn carrying a heavy sword, speculating that Hawthorne's strength is very good, but now he has a more intuitive understanding of Hawthorn's strength. It seems to be a lot more powerful than I imagined.

"I'm sorry, I'm late. Hubbard, now I'm going to preside over this meeting, no problem, right?" Austin said to Hubbard after entering through the broken door and glancing around at everyone.

"No problem, Your Highness. Hubbard saw Austin appear like this, a little overwhelmed, although this kick was kicked by Hawthorn, but it was definitely requested by Prince Austin, intoxicated, since he came to the town, he has always been frightened, although when he was in the royal capital, His Royal Highness was a little out of proportion, and he dared to do anything ridiculous, but he also knew what he was afraid of, and always knew that there were some things that could not be done. But when I arrived in the town, there was no one to take care of, and I really let myself go.

You said that you appeared like this, so that the other nobles would think and think, the original status was already a little precarious, and it was like this.

"I know what you're thinking, indeed, I'm just exiled here, the so-called strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, originally I also planned to get along with you head snakes, but, some things, have been so urgent that I can't do this, just like the matter of Illidac Village, and then let you mess around, I'm afraid, when the time comes, everyone will be finished. Austin said disdainfully, then sat down on the table with a self-to-self slap, knocked the table lightly, and said, "So, sit down and finish your stuff." Although this was written by Mr. Hubbard, I brought it up. Anyway, give me a careful look at it first, and then make a statement. ”

Everyone was restrained by Austin and sat back. After a while, everyone slowly put down the information in their hands, and their expressions were indescribable. The benefits of this thing can be seen, but it greatly reduces the rights of the lord to his own territory.

At this time, Austin glanced at the people who were affected by Hawthorn's kick, was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and smiled, it seems that even if he comes to this world, he is still lucky.

"Your Highness, this doesn't seem to fit ......," a nobleman said cautiously, but Austin didn't even look at him, and pointed to the person next to him.

"Mr. Wales, speak first. ”

"My lord's this, I think it is very pertinent, first of all, after the tax is postponed to the autumn of the next year, it seems that we have collected a lot less tax, and the overall tax has decreased a lot, but, to be honest, the previous tax, the farmers in our territory have no ability to pay taxes. In the case of forcible expropriation, the situation in the village of Ilidako will happen again. This new tax method brings together all kinds of taxes on farmland and puts them after the autumn harvest, which reduces the burden on farmers in the territory a lot. Wales was named directly by Austin, and replied cautiously, "If that's the case, it's good, but it's ......."

Wales didn't finish his words, but after Austin heard Wales's words, he knew what he wanted to say afterwards, but he was dissatisfied with his desire to take back the tax rights, but so what, Austin directly followed Wales's words and said: "Very good, that's what I think, now it's impossible to collect taxes." In addition, in order to prevent any more incidents in Ilidako Village in the future, I decided to take back the tax right, and the fief nobles will no longer have the right to collect taxes in the fief. ”

"Your Highness, is it too much for you to do this, this is a tradition since the establishment of the kingdom, and it is not in accordance with the rules for you to take away the tax rights so arbitrarily and unreasonably. A nobleman said.

After glaring at him, Austin said: "I don't want the incident in Ilidako Village to happen once, so the matter of indiscriminate tax collection needs to be managed, and this is unified taxation, once the power is decentralized, there will inevitably be tax chaos." And you're making a deal with me? Is the rule that you put your former lord to death on the battlefield?
