Chapter 361 Nobles Will Become Citizens
Although Roy could use force to wipe out all the nobles of the Kingdom of Athens, but chose to transform the nobles into capitalists, of course, he had a greater purpose.

It's not that they simply want to use the nobles to promote business development.

As long as these nobles are transformed into capitalists and publicized as successful models, there will be no irreconcilable conflicts between Loy and other nobles.

When Roy conquers other regions, nobles in other regions can voluntarily surrender to Roy and become capitalists with certain wealth.

The Royal Palace of Athens.

Roy brought everyone to the palace hall, and the lively wedding banquet began.

After the guests sat on both sides of the aisle with their family members or friends, the young and beautiful palace maids brought all kinds of food, spices, fruits, vegetables, and wine to them.

Roy, Procne, and Philomela sat on the golden throne overlooking the hall, observing the guests in the hall.

"Brother Roy..."

Procne suddenly leaned on Roy and asked in a low voice.

"You don't want to marry us just to use this wedding to gather all the nobles of the Kingdom of Athens together?"

"How is that possible!"

Roy said with a guilty conscience.

"I held this wedding in order to be able to eat you. I want to summon the nobles of the Kingdom of Athens, and I don't need this wedding as a reason at all."

"That's right."

Seeing Procne's reason for believing in himself, Roy said with a sigh of relief.

"Procne! Philomela! I will host the next banquet. You two go to the Temple of Metis to rest and wait for me to eat you!"

After Procne and Philomela left, Roy also left his throne and walked among the guests with a golden wine glass.

Among the guests, the most distinguished ones were undoubtedly Hippolyta and Phyllis.

Roy came to Hippolyta and Phyllis and said.

"Queen Hippolyta! Princess Phyllis! Thank you for coming to my wedding. Let's have a drink together."

After the palace maid poured a glass of wine for the three of them, Hippolyta smiled while holding up the glass.

"You are married now, do I have no chance?"

"What chance are you talking about?"

Roy asked back.

"If you still want to attend my wedding, I can tell you that in August I will hold a wedding with Harmonia in Thebes, and in September I will hold a wedding with Chione in Aiolkas." , I will hold a wedding with Pandora in Donya City in October. You still have many opportunities to attend my wedding and taste the delicious food at the wedding banquet."

After hearing what Roy said, Phyllis couldn't help but said.

"Don't you need to be faithful to your wife? Although you men can have many women, I heard that you only hold weddings for your first wife!"

"Princess Phyllis! I make laws in the Kingdom of Athens. As a king, I can have multiple wives, so I can also hold weddings with other girls and let them become my wives. All the girls who marry me are As regular wives with equal status, their children will also have the same inheritance rights."

"if it is like this……"

Hippolyta said with a smile.

"It seems that I don't need to give up the idea of ​​marrying you, after all, I can still be your first wife."

After Roy drank with Hippolyta and Phyllis, he came before Hippolyta and Callisto.

"Princess Hippodamia! Princess Callisto! One of you is a princess who is about to die, and the other is a princess who has already died. As a thank you for coming to the wedding, I allow you to settle in Athens, and I will protect you Your safety, don't let anyone hurt you."

Hippodamia looked at Roy with an unwilling expression and said.

"As long as you intervene now, the Iris region will not be conquered by the Mycenaeans. I am willing to be a humble maid by your side, please save my family."

Callisto couldn't help but said.

"You can wage war in my name and take the Arcadia region from the Mycenaeans. I don't expect to be the queen of the Arcadia region. I only ask you to restore the Arcadia guardianship of the goddess Artemis." Godhood."

Roy seemed not to have heard Hippodamia and Callisto's words. After clinking wine glasses with them, he came to Perseus.

"Perseus, congratulations on becoming an older brother again."

"Don't you call me uncle?"

Perseus pretended to be dissatisfied and said.

"I am the stepbrother of your two wives."

Roy rolled his eyes and said.

"The war between the Mycenaeans and Oenomanos, king of Elis, is not over yet. How long do you plan to stay in Athens?"

"Confirm that you will not interfere in this war, and I will immediately go to Olympia City to bring this war to an end."

"You heard it all just now."

Roy said with a smile.

"I have rejected Princess Hippodamia's request and will not interfere in your war."

"Thank you! I can assure you that we Mycenaeans will no longer be enemies of the Kingdom of Athens in the future."

After drinking with Perseus, Roy came to the former city-state king of Naxos.

The former city-state king took the initiative to speak to Roy.

"Your Majesty! The two slaves just now performed well. I want to dedicate them to Your Majesty. There are many things I want to know about our becoming His Majesty's agent."

Seeing that the other nobles around him were also staring at him with wide eyes, Roy turned around and said.

"It seems that everyone wants to know, so let me tell you! After I send soldiers and officials to take over your territory, I will arrange for you to run salt shops. If you were a small nobleman who ruled a population of 1000, I would Arrange you to run shops in a place with a population of 1000. Because you are agents, I will let you buy goods at the price of 2000 catties of grain and a catty of salt, and then retail at the price of 2000 catties of grain and salt. Income, the income of a small noble can become a third-class citizen. If it is a big noble with a population of 3000, it can run shops in an area with a population of 3000, and its income can reach the level of a second-class citizen. If it is a top-level noble or city-state king with a population of [-] , you can operate shops in an area with a population of [-], and your income can reach the level of a first-class citizen.”

After listening to Roy's explanation, the nobles calculated how many people they could support with their income as capitalists.

In the end, they all confirmed that their income could not only support their families, but also hire workers or buy slaves to serve their families.

Although they will lose their aristocratic status and privileges, their quality of life will be better than before.

Because under the protection of the strong military power of the Kingdom of Athens, they neither need to worry about pirate attacks nor attacks from other forces.

These nobles are willing to give up their status and powers, precisely because without the protection of the Kingdom of Athens, they may be attacked by pirates or other forces at any time, causing themselves and their families to be ravaged by the enemy and become slaves with tragic fate.
