Meeting of the Emperor and the Grand Nob
? “…Establish a unified regime?”
The words of Caesar XIII made everyone present stunned.
After a moment of silence, the big nobles looked at each other, leaving only eye contact and a little quick breath before each other.
Caesar XIII crossed his fingers and looked at the look of these people. His right index finger tapped the back of his left hand impatiently, adding: “There is no one else here, and all sounds are inseparable from this room. You can speak freely.”
“Does the establishment of a unified regime benefit us?”
As soon as the emperor’s words fell, a large noble asked.
Obviously, they have been prepared for a long time, and did not intend to say non-nutritive nonsense, just waiting for an opportunity.
Caesar XIII glanced at him, and then asked back to everyone: “Do you know the Principality of the Winds of Sorrow? For details, please refer to the current system of that country.”
“The principality…”
The Principality of Sorrowful Wind is well-known, because the rulers of that country have done a lot of things that are “offensive” in their eyes, how could they not understand.
Among all the things, the most rebellious thing the woman did was to put a group of mud legs into the seat of the ruler, and also did a very good job. Under the rule of a group of mud legs, the Principality struggled upward. The “financial power” alone has surpassed most countries in just a few years.
Although it was due to a combination of many factors that it made such a prosperous and powerful country in a short period of time, it has nothing to do with the political system brought by that woman.
It is a lie to say that they are not interested in the country’s way of making money. They have not been proud of their nobility to this degree.
On the contrary, it was because they were envious of the Principality of the Winds of Sorrow, that they would act decisively, choose to accept new things, and set up their own factories, and thus received a lot of benefits.
However, the rise of the Principality of Sad Wind is not only due to the progress of industrialization, but has many factors. Among them, the current system of that country has brought many conveniences to its rise and prosperity.
None of the people who can sit here are fools. Only the succession of the little nobility will show bad results. Most large families are not the eldest son inheritance system. Ability to inherit orderly reasons.
This tradition has been similar to the royal family since ancient times, so no matter how decayed the lower aristocracy has become, the royal family and the large aristocracy can still stand.
Almost everyone was blindfolded by them and continued the stupid eldest son inheritance system, but they did not know how far they had been left behind for so many years.
When Caesar XIII mentioned the Principality of the Winds of Sorrow, they immediately thought of the current system of the Principality, thinking of the group of ‘mud legs’ and the ‘new nobles’ of the empire.
They were not stupid enough to think that Caesar XIII would really put mud legs on top, otherwise he would not have created a nondescript’new noble’.
In a way, the great aristocracy and the royal family are both allies and enemies.
But it is for this reason that they can understand each other and understand what the other person is thinking.
The emperor only mentioned it a little, the big nobles reacted immediately, and in a moment, their thoughts went back and forth in their brains, reminding them of many things.
“…Why do you suddenly want to do this?”
Duke Ken narrowed his eyes, and his imperceptible vigilance swept across the faces of other people. “Your Majesty, can you give us a reason?”
“To save the loss.” Caesar XIII said lightly.
Hearing this, the smile on everyone’s face faded.
The slave liberation movement has brought them many benefits, but there are also some disadvantages, such as causing social instability, and some slaves will be free to use it after they are free. After their looting, even the food produced will become less.
After seeing the power of industry, the great nobles realized that these liberated slaves should have been able to create more value, but the actual situation was just the opposite.
Caesar XIII was light-handed to say, but if he really wanted to do it, there would be many nobles who raised objections, even ‘strong opposition’.
In this silence, Caesar XIII replied in a cold voice: “We can only exercise power in ourselves and in the vassals. Don’t you think it’s too stupid?”
“Say that–”
Seeing that the nobles all showed thoughtful expressions, Caesar XIII’s lips were slightly raised, “I know that you want to have more power, and I also want to establish a unified regime, Neither for you nor for me, there is no harm. Because power will be divided, there must be some resistance. At that time, they will be sent to the gallows and those surplus land will be allocated to nothing to do. Slaves, after all, our territory is big enough. In the future, it will be an era of industry. We cannot digest so much land. What are your intentions?”
After hearing the words, the great nobles went silent, and began eye contact again.
It can be known from the situation of the Duchy of the Winds, that the high efficiency of a unified regime is far from what the current empire can match, but for them, the most important thing is the “power amplification” item.
The power that could only be exercised in their own territory could be enlarged to the entire empire through the unification of the regime. No matter in which corner of the empire, they have power.
If, in the face of an empire with decentralized powers, they might not be so emotional, but now all the big nobles are gathered in this room, as long as they are willing to nod, then after that, they can have greater power .
Although this is a decentralization of power for them, they do not care about this degree of decentralization.
The unification of regimes will do more harm than good!
“Can consider it!”
Duke Anbar nodded with his hands surrounded, breaking the calm.
Then he grinned again and turned his mocking eyes to others, “Okay, you are all about to write “want” on your face, just to express your attitude, is it really that difficult?”
Duke Ken glanced at Duke Anbar, then dropped his eyes and smiled, “The empire today really needs a unified government, and I agree.”
After some people took the lead, the big nobles who had been scrupulous were not exaggerated. The “unified regime” was so determined by everyone’s laughter and righteousness.
To some extent, the nobles and the royal family can be regarded as enemies, but when facing the interests, they will also stand on the side of the royal family for the first time and become an ally of the royal family.
Just like the previous slave liberation movement, and today’s unified regime…
“Since this matter is so finalized, then…” Caesar XIII’s gaze wandered on the faces of many great nobles, jokingly laughed: “Then it is time to determine the “position”? Although the Principality of Sad Wind is out of touch That’s a bit, but for our reference only, it’s pretty good.”
“Can we call it another name, for example, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of National Defense and the like?”
“Also, if we want to establish a unified regime, grassroots personnel are indispensable. After the number of duties increases, we can put our relatives in a certain position. Accordingly, we need to promote some civilians, only to give them hope. , They will work harder and harder for us.”
“You guys, what is your intention?” Caesar XIII asked with a smile.
This proposal is indeed good, and the reason given by the emperor is also very reasonable.
The emperor and the big nobles looked at each other and smiled as if they were not very disgusted with the’new nobility’, nor would they object to this proposal of Caesar XIII.
The reason why other nobles would resent the ‘new nobles’ is because the new nobles may threaten their existence, but the new nobles cannot at all be like the big nobles.
Just as even when he learned that his second daughter’choose’ stood on the side of the new nobility, Duke Ken was not angry, after all, Eliza was’always’ his daughter.
“Seconded!”
