Chapter 365 The so-called preferential treatment
"Earl Hall, do you want to dominate the world?" A nobleman who could not name Fitch stood up and accused him: "You have not explained clearly what is the relationship between you and Earl Kante Hall's serious injury. His Majesty King Andrew Hall's disappearance! Do you want us to submit to you? Why?!"
Feiqi gave him a blank look and then looked at the more mature and polite nobles. They did not care about the nonsense rumors of "Feicy killed his brother", and they did not want to waste their time watching Feiqi fight against the rumors. The key now is that this Earl of Hall has stood up and wants to be the king, so he should listen to the conditions he offered and then decide whether to follow up.
"All the land is taken back to the state, and farmers obtain farming land by leasing. Now the land of the nobles is either defeated by me or chosen to surrender and be redeemed by me. Then..." Feiqi looked at everyone: "Hey, why are you not angry? I was wrong? Are you all progressive patriots like this, and you can even talk about land ownership?"
"You can talk nonsense!" A nobleman pulled off the holy emblem on his chest. It was an exquisite silver holy emblem inlaid with emeralds. It was valuable, but now it was used as a throwing weapon. Perhaps he thought this would attract the power of the goddess to punish Fitch? "You greedy madman! I will never give you the land that I have captured from my ancestors! And you devil potatoes! I pulled out all of them and burned them! I want my land to step over my body!"
"Okay." Feiqi nodded. He reached out and took the goddess holy emblem floating in front of him into his hand. The goddess standing statue was carved on it, spreading his hands to face the world with a loving expression. Although this was the goddess's holy emblem, it did not gain divine power from it, so it could not penetrate his magical protection and was blocked without accident. Lightning flashed out of Feiqi's fingertips, and modified it on the holy emblem, leaving the goddess' appearance in memory on it, and then carrying the holy emblem around his neck. "I'll give you five days to prepare, and I will go to your house in five days. Or..."
Feiqi spoke a long time, and just when everyone thought there was a turnaround in this matter, Feiqi said: "It's too troublesome for one family. You can also form a coalition force, make an appointment for a time and place, and solve this matter together. Wait, it's winter now, and it's not convenient for you to march, why don't I look for it one by one?"
"Are you going to declare war on all of us? Are you, including those other families who have been with the Hall family for many years, advance and retreat, and depend on life and death?"
"I have no intention of killing everyone. I don't want to rule a country without people. I welcome anyone to surrender. If you don't surrender, you can also keep your own opinions, or you can not be with me, but my request must still be fulfilled. Otherwise, it should be a declaration of war and a battle on the battlefield."
Most people were shaking their heads, while the rest were swaying back and forth in a state of fear and at a loss. "Crazy, it's crazy! How did the Hall family make you do? You haven't changed at all. It's the one who only knew how to cause trouble and only took poison to play with women!"
"No matter how you comfort yourself by belittling me, you still have to find a way to solve me in the end. No matter how fierce you scold me, it will not stop me from destroying your army."
"Why not solve you from here?"
"Okay! I like this idea very much." Feiqi said with a smile: "If you want to do it, come on. The battle between nobles is much more noble than letting others give their lives. It is always a good deed to avoid fighting with his subordinates. I welcome it."
"Don't be fooled by him! He's very good at fighting alone!"
Unfortunately, someone stopped the way that fewer people could have died, which disappointed Feiqi. If he could establish his authority here, it would be much easier whether he came to the door to demand surrender or decided on the battlefield. The current situation has become that he stood alone on the throne steps and faced all the nobles under the steps. It is this attitude that makes people misunderstood.
"Earl Hall, you want to be king, we just support you, don't be angry about the crazy words of those ignorant things. They don't respect the former queen, but they don't respect the Hall family. Everything is the same, do you think it's okay?"
"After the establishment of a country, there will be only one army, no longer private armed or lord armed. All aristocratic titles are invalid, and the government of the country is composed of officials who select talents and is no longer hereditary. All texts, tools, roads, equipment, etc. are unified in the country, popularizing basic education, and developing magic education..."
Fitch continued to speak his thoughts amid a sudden outbreak of noise. He did not expect these things to be accepted by the nobles in front of him. He understood that this kind of unacceptance is different from permission. In fact, from the point of "all land belongs to the country", the nobles had no room for compromise.
Land is the most important means of production in this era and the most important part of the noble assets. It is irreplaceable. Without land, the aristocratic class will have no income and will not be able to organize army and combat effectiveness. All nobles, including the Hall family, are the same. However, from another perspective, it is not that there is no nobility that cannot farm, so nobles can be abandoned, but land cannot be done.
There are many changes in the world, and the young man is also a kind of young man. I guess everyone looked at Feiqi like this at that time. Some people expressed their forgiveness, just pretending that he had not heard anything today; some people wanted to go to the old Count Hall theory; some started to calculate how to solve the young man who affected the overall situation once and for all. As a result, the young man spoke by himself:
"Everyone is not busy in winter, and there is still sowing seeds in spring, so it is better to solve this piece as soon as possible. It is best to be before the late winter comes. During the King's Army, it takes two weeks to mobilize the army to complete the initial assembly, so I will give you fifteen days. You can choose a place and I will accompany you. After that, I will come to the door to door to determine whether you surrender and disarm. You can now find a place to discuss it yourself. After all, everyone recognizes the persuasiveness of war."
"The destroyer of order! The scum of the nobles!" An iron wine pot flew towards Fitch, who was protected by spells like the previous holy emblem, and could only float in the air. Weapons are not allowed to be carried in the palace hall, and the wine pot and the holy emblem should be their strongest equipment. Perhaps the teeth can be stronger, and Fitch really wants to wait and see if someone will pounce on him and bite him. He will admire that person very much. There is nothing to admire about the wine pot.
He took the wine pot and a high temperature appeared in his hand. The alloy of iron and tin began to melt, and the wine exploded while boiling. Feiqi was unmoved, and the nobles avoided it so that they would not cause fire. He said: "I guess you will try to find the Church of the Truth Goddess of Thunder and even bring the Thunder Army. The Archbishop may really agree. But I don't recommend you to do that, and will regard such a move as extending the war outside the battlefield."
"What do you mean?"
Feiqi shook his hand, cleaned up the liquid metal, and then replied very seriously: "You can regard this war as my family and challenge all families. You can think I am arrogant, but this is still a battle of nobles, which means the victory or defeat on the battlefield. Whoever involves the church at this time will act equally and expand the scope of the war. As for what it means? If anyone does not understand, it can only mean that there is a problem with his brain, whether it is an opponent or an ally, he is not qualified."
The nobles in the audience looked at each other, and no one wanted the situation to be so chaotic, but each family had already planned for the chaos and would not be at a loss. When Aria was seriously injured and waiting to die, they had never thought of using force to measure strength and weakness, and then fight for more benefits? If Hall, Xiya and other families were not united first and took the lead with their strength advantage, wouldn't this fight have started long ago? In fact, it is better than that time. The Hall family has become the target of public criticism. Whether it is the process of uniting everyone or the process of eliminating the Hall family later, it is enough for the family to intrigue and use their own means.
One after another, some people left, but a few people stayed. They came from the corner of the wall, making squeaking sounds all the way, and finally sat opposite Feich. Feich looked at it and found that these people were very old, at least half of their hair, and he didn't know any of them.
They sat down, rubbed their beards, or knocked on their knees, all of which were not anxious and leisurely. Feiqi looked at them for a while, then nodded and said, "First of all, I allow you not to express your opinion, but the final deadline is when I decide the outcome with them on the battlefield before finding your door. After this deadline, there will be no discount."
One of the old men nodded and said, "Earl Hall, we are not optimistic about you, but the wisdom of the nobles lies in standing on the side of the winner, watching more, listening more, beating less, and not hanging yourself in a tree. It seems that Kante Hall has not forgotten to teach you this truth, that is, what we want to hear, you actually know."
Fitch nodded and said, "You are concerned about your own interests. You want to see which method is the safest and safest, and you even want to place bets on both sides. I guess you think that even if I win, you need enough manpower to manage this country, and you can still have a place in it."
"Yes, someone will always have to take care of it."
"You can get twice the redemption price for the surrenders, and retain the land of the largest castle in the family and the walls of five hundred meters outward. If this area includes rivers, the area of possession cannot exceed the middle line of the river, and the area missing is filled in other directions. My request is also very simple: don't send one soldier and one soldier to join the coalition, and the previous deadline must be followed."
"This condition is not good." Several people frowned at the same time. "I think you are too confident in yourself and don't seem to need the help of others at all. Your personal strength may be very strong, but a thousand troops are enough to eliminate any advantage. Being able to defeat an elite team sent by an elves does not mean that you can defeat the entire noble coalition."
"I know you have this kind of doubt, so I allow you to make a decision after watching the battle. The situation is clear now. I don't need you so urgently, and you are very eager to know the answer. The same thing is, you are willing to pay money, food, and weapons to strengthen the coalition forces. This is casual, but don't give out people. It is not easy for people to be born, and it is good to die less."
"If you are willing to die less, then you will decide to gain the royal power in the form of war?!"
"Yes, is there any contradiction?"
An old man stood up, holding the chair in his hand, and gasping for breath. "Listen to you, I will live for more than ten years less! Are you afraid you didn't mean to piss us here to death?"
Feichi laughed loudly. The laughter had never been so presumptuous and cheerful in the King's convention hall. Everyone looked at him in shock. After a while, he waved his hand, stopped laughing, and said: "The magic teleportation array makes a lot of profit every year, which is like a mill tax, but the mill tax of all the adults comes from wheat, and my mill tax comes from commodities. From then on, the magic teleportation array is a necessary configuration that the Chamber of Commerce cannot do without. Without it, there is no competitiveness and will be eliminated sooner or later. Do you understand this?"
Everyone nodded. Using the mill they all knew as an analogy, it was clear that the magic teleportation array was a disguised trade tax.
"There are many things of this type. I can use magic to unify minerals, smelting, and manufacturing. I can draw water from any lake to water any dry fields. I can let the flood directly enter the ocean and protect the wheat seedlings behind the embankment. I can make fish thousands of miles away jump around when you reach your kitchen. I can have fire, and if there is ice, there is ice. I can use magic to crush whatever the nobles are proud of now. Swords, horses, armors? I don't need these things, I just need people."
"I need people, and then I will improve everyone's abilities, even if it is forced to rise, until I can resist the blood-colored meteor. This is my first stage. In the second stage, I want the second world that emits blood-colored meteors to taste the bitter fruit, so that it can no longer threaten the Yongli continent! When I finish these, the current nobles will only be remembered in the image of art, and will no longer be envious."
"As for the third stage and after, I guess you will not be able to live that time, and I will remain young. In the next few decades, even one or two hundred years, I will still be like this. I noticed that you widen your eyes and know what you are thinking, but you should not have time to learn." Feiqi said: "All the interests before will be summarized at the national level and used for the entire country. Those who contribute to the country should share the benefits from it. Magic will divide the most important parts, loyalty, stability and achievements will also have their own parts."
"I used to show magic in the competition field, and it was for the nobles watching the battle. You can think that this time it was just a little larger, a little crazy, and a little more bet. Do you think the conditions are not good? I let you place bets after seeing the results. What's wrong with the conditions? Also, if you haven't even placed bets, why should you tell me about the conditions?"
Feiqi still showed no intention of asking for people, which was indeed beyond the expectations of several old nobles. However, they did hear what they wanted to know and understood that there was huge profits behind Feiqi and the value of betting. They immediately stated that they would not send any soldiers, but they could not decide before the victory or defeat was decided on the battlefield. Feiqi nodded, then reached out and grabbed them one by one, indicating that this was a noble-level agreement.
After they left, Baron Good, the financial adviser, and Sir Mathers, came to the hall of the council, and burned the bloodline and proof of title symbolizing his noble status in front of Fitch, expressed allegiance, and first called him "my king".
