Broad World

The Faerun Continent is a place with quite diversified political systems. There are countries with pure feudal lords like Cormyr, as well as United Nations like the Silver Moon Alliance with a parliamentary city-state system, and of course, there are also countries like Searle. An empire with dictatorship and slavery. In short, all the ways of governance that have ever appeared on the earth, and have never appeared before, can be seen here.

As for Amn, it adopted a combination of feudal aristocracy and city councils at all levels, because this would not only save a lot of administrative expenses, but also help ease the contradiction between the government and the lower-class working people. After all, once something bad has happened, it can be pushed to the head of the local nobles, and then the temple agency can send paladins to adjust. With flexible political skills, the entire country has basically not seen large-scale in a few years. turmoil.

Since the feudal system is preserved, the relationship between the monarch and Toyotomi is quite sacred, protected by the law and all the gods of order, which is almost universal on the entire continent, and usually the two parties will depend on each other until one or the same time. Until it completely disappears. Except for those countries that advocate chaos, such as Karinshan, who is controlled by the magic talisman, there are very few bottom-up rebellions, because this is tantamount to subverting the values ​​of the entire aristocratic class.

Generally speaking, there are only two common people who want to become aristocrats. One is to become a businessman. As long as you do a big business and make enough money, you can buy a short title in a well-developed place like Amn. The other is to become adventurers and mercenaries. Only those who do the best have the chance to be promoted by the ruler.

However, these two items are not easy to follow. The former requires not only excellent vision and computing power, but also careful guard against the ubiquitous bandits and monsters. For most civilians who don't have ligatures, this is simply an impossible task. Not to mention the latter, the terrifying probability of disability is enough to discourage most people, and only the bravest guys have the courage to take up arms and strive to change their destiny.

It can be said that every civilian who can be promoted to a nobleman is quite lucky, and it can almost be regarded as one in case. Cernick became such a lucky guy today, just look at the eyes of the servants around you. Their envious saliva will be left behind.

This teenage man was even more excited and almost burst into tears. It wasn't until a few minutes later that he was relieved and hurriedly stated that his family would be loyal to generations and never betrayed. At the same time, he recited a large section of the spirit and virtues of knights in accordance with the ancient tradition.

Throughout the process, Henry kept a faint smile. It wasn't until all was over that he asked: "Knight Sernick, listen to Ernest, do you want me to find something important?"

Cernick calmed his emotions and nodded immediately. "Yes, sir. To rule such a large area of ​​land, less than two people is really not enough. According to my preliminary estimates and the income of the territory, 1,000 to 15 people are necessary. After all, you own four castles. With seven small towns, on average, there is only about one person in each place, barely enough to maintain law and order."

"Then how much do you think can guarantee the safety of the entire territory?" Henry frowned and asked. He also felt that this person was not enough. After all, it is not safe to the north of the Eismere River. Whether it is the monsters in the Yunwu Mountains, the beasts in the Viper Forest, or the trolls in the Troll Mountains, they often rush out to beat the autumn breeze from time to time. If the number of troops is not enough, I am afraid that the safety of the people will be guaranteed.

"Two thousand and five people. Five of them must be cavalry. Of course, it will cost a lot of money. It will cost a lot of money for horses, armor and weapons. It is estimated that at least 50,000 to 100,000 gold coins will be invested. But Luo There is still a lot of inventory in the Knoll family's castle, and it should be able to solve about half of it." Sernike thought for a long time and finally gave the exact figure.

Since Henry had just made a fortune, this amount of money is nothing at all, let alone armors, weapons, and horse armors that do not need to be purchased at all. Just ask Hawke to bring in a batch. Thinking of this, he nodded without hesitation.

"No problem, I happen to have more than ten thousand silver coins here. You can buy some horses first. As for the weapons and armor, I will send them as soon as possible. The security of the territory will be left to you in the future, and the personnel will arrange it by themselves. I only have A requirement, if you find a thief or a monster, it must be eliminated in time.

Cernick stood up and solemnly performed a chivalry and promised: "Please don't worry. As long as these guys dare to appear on your territory, they will definitely not survive for two days."

"Very well, here is a set of magic armor and a long sword, I will reward it to you now." As he said, Henry took out a magic armor and a fire tongue sword from the dimension bag. Both of these items were obtained during the adventure of Durrag Tower, especially the latter. The flame on the sword has been burning, it looks very bluffing.

"Thank you very much for your generosity, I will definitely not let down this trust." After speaking, Sernike grabbed the sword of the tongue and swung it a few times, with an ecstatic expression on his face. Obviously, this weapon is the nemesis of many evil creatures, especially the trolls that ran out of the northern mountains, which can be burned to death in just a few strokes.

Henry took out these two objects to increase his chances of survival. After all, there is only one knight available. If he accidentally dies, he will fall into an embarrassing situation where no one is available for a long time.

Seeing that all these chores have been handled, he stood up and flexed his muscles and said: "Well, if there are no other problems, let's do this first. In addition, I will tell Ernest that I will appoint him as the interior officer of this land, responsible All administrative work. There is also only one requirement, and that is to maintain a good reputation. Whether it is building water conservancy projects or strengthening river embankments, it must be done as long as it has a reputation among civilians."

"Yes, I believe Ernest will be very happy to hear the news." Said Sernike bowed respectfully, until Henry went up the stairs to the second floor and straightened up.

He picked up his armor and weapons and walked into the courtyard in a stride. Whenever he saw a former mercenary companion, he said loudly: "Hey! Man! I am now an aristocratic knight."

Soon all the soldiers heard the news, gathered in the front yard and uttered loud cheers, which didn't gradually subsided until ten minutes later. There is no doubt that this matter is related to everyone's vital interests. You must know that Sernike will soon control an army of two thousand five people. Among them, many grass-roots officers are definitely needed, and they will inevitably become the best choice.

Henry ignored the cheers from outside and went directly to the reception room on the second floor. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a scent. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was the smell of a girl who had finished taking a bath. They all put on fluffy pajamas and sat on the sofa chatting.

After seeing Henry coming in, Naria asked half-jokingly: "How about it. Have you been scared by the huge wealth of the Ronore family?"

"To be honest, it's really surprising. From this, we can see how rich the upper class of Amn is now." Henry said, while staying by Imoen's side. He gently embraced the girl's waist and comfortably enjoyed the scent of the girl's body.

"Yes, a Ronor family who has not yet climbed to the top has such a huge property. How much money should those top nobles and big businessmen have? They lie on the body of this country and constantly **** blood, but they never In return. Look at what those ordinary laborers eat, bread mixed with sawdust. Many families can only eat one meal a day. Am needs a voice for the poor, and I am this voice."

As the saying goes, serious women are the most attractive. Naria was originally very beautiful, and when she said these words, her face even burst into a holy radiance...

. no doubt. This is sheltered by the power of the supreme good, perhaps from a kind deity, or perhaps inspired by it. In short, this is equivalent to an amulet, and everyone who wants to play a black hand must think about the consequences.

Seeing this situation, Henry was slightly taken aback, but did not say anything. He considered for a while and asked, "Then have you considered how to fight for benefits? Do you have any specific plans?"

"I plan to make some suggestions in the parliament. For example, first abolish some unreasonable taxes." Naria blurted out almost without even thinking about it. Obviously, she has no political experience, and even the entry point is so naive. We must know that behind every tax is a large group of vested interest groups. If there is not enough strength, it is impossible to succeed.

Henry shook his head slightly and said: "You think about the political struggle simply, this strategy will not have any effect at all. I suggest that you should first establish an organization and try to attract as many poor workers as possible. Let them. A relationship of mutual help and mutual assistance is formed. Only when these people are firmly united together ~www.ltnovel.com~ can they use some non-violent and non-cooperative means, such as large-scale strikes, street demonstrations, etc. Fight for more rights."

This trick comes from some capitalist countries on the earth. It can be said that it is quite negative. Know that there are not only many shrines of good gods in Ascatla, but also a knights of the heart of the zeal. As long as the strikers and demonstrations maintain good order, and then loudly complain, you will surely win a lot of sympathy. .

People in the council will definitely be in a dilemma. If you send troops to suppress it, you will definitely be opposed by the temple and the knights. Without suppression, the entire city will be paralyzed without the workers. Especially in such a commercial capital, the daily loss will be a number of days. There is no doubt that it can only be a compromise in the end.

The next development will definitely be like this. The poor ghosts who have tasted the sweetness of non-violence and uncooperation will definitely intensify their demands, trampling on the ruler's bottom line again and again, until finally they can't bear it and have to forcibly suppress them. Once suppressed, people will die, and when they die, hatred and class antagonism will arise.

The poor ghosts who have already united will definitely find a way to start arming themselves. When that time comes, just give a little assistance, and sooner or later they will embark on an armed riot. And this is exactly the result that Henry most hopes to see, the country is in turmoil, population loss, wealth transfer, all these will only make him cheaper.
