When he heard Gao Wen, the Philip Knight was a little worried. He didn't understand what his lord meant, until Gao Wen asked him a more specific question: "When the old Cecil was still there, your fiefdom How big is it?"

“It’s two villages and a shack in the southwest of the old castle,” Philip Knight said. “...and there is a mill.”

Within the system of the Kingdom of Ansu, this is the standard seal of a poorer knight. After the fall of the Cecil family, the knights loyal to the family basically have only these territories.

Gao Wen nodded: "You have been with me for some time. You should know that according to Cecil's current land allocation system, there is no living soil for traditional land nobility, even if the concept of 'enclosure' is still there, but the land The privilege of the nobility has been greatly reduced."

At present, Cecil has already passed the initial stage of establishment. With the increasing number of pioneering areas, land allocation has become a problem that Cecil’s rulers must consider. For Gao Wen, Cecil’s pioneering construction is by no means all his goal. He will eventually push the new order to the whole world, but he does not want his new order in the world to become a Progressive "changes to the dynasty", so he considered how to deal with the traditional land aristocracy and related systems, he actually spent a lot of brain cells.

At the beginning, he considered that the reform should be completely eradicated and the concept of "noble" should be completely erased. The governance of the territory will be completely bound to the government office, and in the process of future territorial expansion, all the nobles in front will be destroyed along the way. In the trip to Gülen, he was awake.

Being too aggressive will make a big deal.

Although Cecil’s situation is not the same as that of Gülen’s collar ten years ago, although Gao Wen has already promoted the education and propaganda of the people’s wisdom in the territory, and also has his own armed team and the supporting productivity, he It is still necessary to face up to the fact that outside of Cecil’s collar, the almost indestructible old social order throughout the world is still very strong, even within Cecil’s leadership, those officials who support him, Soldiers and civilians have also grown up under the influence of the old social system, and the changes he has to make are far more intense and deeper than the Gülen collar ten years ago.

The old social order has long soaked everyone in this era of the world. His "one step in place" is likely to incur unpredictable consequences.

Even if Cecil’s productivity is developing fast, it is difficult for him to complete the transformation and reconstruction of the whole society while he is expanding in the future. First, civilians with quality and ability cannot emerge out of thin air. Most of the talents used to maintain social order still have to be selected from the old aristocracy. Secondly, too radical changes will stimulate the aristocratic system of the world unless he can eliminate opponents from all over the world in a short time. If you use a new system to replace it, then the situation of the external enemy's attack will come sooner or later and most of the time will come when Cecil leads to a large expansion and internal instability.

Traditional aristocrats may be greedy, perhaps slow, but they are not stupid, and they are not lacking vigilance.

After realizing these hidden dangers, Gao Wen pondered for a long time and referred to some situations of the Eastern Tifeng Empire. In the end, he made his own policy of expanding in the future, that is, to preserve the nobility, but gradually disintegrate the survival they depend on. soil.

Gao Wen will retain the title of "noble" and some honorary privileges, and even retain their power to collect tribute from the land at the beginning, but he will take back all the over-specified powers of the aristocrats, including legislation, preservation of the army, and coinage. The privilege of self-determined tax rate, etc., so that the control of the land aristocracy on the land will be greatly weakened. At the same time, Gao Wen also plans to cancel the concept of "seaclad land" and replace it with "territory" to cut In the end, he hopes to create a situation in which the relationship between the old "lord" and the land is:

A new aristocrat, he has a legal "territory", he can collect a certain percentage of the tribute from the economic development of this territory as his "annuity", but in addition to this "dividend", he will no longer With any control over the land and its population, he can retain the family's castle, vault and honorary titles, but he can only have it.

If he wants to get more income or gain more power, he can choose to compete for a government office position, or invest in a factory or a business.

This is an incomplete change, but Gao Wen knows that even this level of change will greatly stimulate the traditional aristocrats, and even stimulate the seriousness of the Titan Empire next door, which will lead to more intense After all, the rebound was in Tifeng, and the nobles retained at least the concept of "enclosure".

But it doesn't matter, as long as their rebound is within the control of Cecil's "truth", then everything is not a problem.

After the pain, they will cooperate.

Of course, there are more than half of all heart Gawain plan, although many people have guessed the territory of our ancestors are planning a fact picked up the rolling pin beat the child, but after all, Gawain not to speak out, just for smart people such as For the Philip Knights, he can at least see from the various systems in the territory that the position of the land aristocracy in the "Cesil Order".

“Frankly, when you first announced the land allocation system, formed the Office of Administration and transformed the various lords’ powers into the daily work of the Office of Administration, I have had a period of time... a sense of resistance,” Philippe is a sincere person. Even if he is faced with his idols and even spiritual models for more than two decades, he has not concealed the ideas he once had. "At the time, I discussed with the Byron Knights and discussed when you would think about talking to us. Closing the land..."

Gao Wen smiled and looked at the gentleman who would definitely tell the truth: "So now?"

“Your wisdom makes this land extremely prosperous,” Philip said from the heart. “I never thought that a piece of land can be so rich in such a short time in this way, not relying on farming and renting. It depends on the factory and the business. If you didn't cancel the old system that tied the people to the land, if you didn't set up an efficient government office, then the factory and the business would never work."

"Do you still miss your own land?" Gao Wen continued to ask.

"A true aristocrat, he won the title not to rule who to get what benefits, but to protect the people, to make the people safe, to make the land flourish, and all his privileges are to better fulfill this obligation. This is what you said in Ansu four years ago, I engraved it on my own shield," Philip said with a serious face. "So, if your new order can make the people safe, let the land Prosperous, and doing better than the old privilege system, then those privileges are not reserved."

“Very good,” Gao Wen nodded with satisfaction. “If everyone can have your awareness, how good it is...”

Then he paused and said: "I want you to call all the knights that Kant has received. They have come to swear allegiance."

All along, the Philip Knight is responsible for liaising with Kant and Cecil, so he is the perfect choice for this.

The young Cavalier bowed his head: "I will complete the mission."

After Philip left, there was only amber and Gaowen in the study.

The half-elf lady turned around Gaowen for two laps. Strictly speaking, she turned two circles around the desk. Her move made Gao Wen unable to open her mouth: "What?"

"I think you have to do something big," Amber looked at Gao Wen seriously. "But I don't understand what you are going to do."

"Yeah, you can see that I have to make things happen. It’s quite surprising." Gao Wen was surprised to see the half-elves that usually didn’t know anything about territories, decrees, traditional nobles, etc. "How are you?" See it?"

As a result, Amber opened her mouth and wanted to shoot her on the wall: "What I am best at in my life is to do things. I still can't see the same kind of temperament?"

"You... forget it, I don't expect you to understand."

"Don't say that, I can still see something about it," Amber said with a squint. "I know how much privilege you have recovered after changing the 'enclosure' to 'territory' and how to incorporate those privileges into government affairs. In the former territory under the control of the hall, except for you, there were only two women, Rebecca and Byron Phillips. At that time, I was curious. Who are you targeting in advance? Now I see it. Now, who you are going to say badly in the future, but now the old knights of Kant’s collar must be cut first... are you not afraid of those knights rebelling?”

"The captive knights are 'half' of the land aristocracy. They have far fewer privileges than the real lords. They have no powers such as legislation and coinage. After obeying the new law of Cecil, they are just The previous rent income became an annuity income, and lost the legal power of the land, but they can get more benefits from the new social order... A little smart and far-sighted person will know how to choose ""

"Scorpio, you actually ask them to have wisdom and vision. The two nobles are the most lacking!" Amber said in a very low-pitched exaggeration. "What are they not doing?"

"That would be great, the savings are enough for me to open several steel foundries in the Kant area."

Looking at the smile from Gao Wen’s face, Amber suddenly remembered the “negotiation method” mentioned by the other party.

She suddenly felt a little cold...

"But I think they are more likely to see the situation," Gao Wen said with a smile. "It is still a sentence, they don't have much privilege, so their resistance will not be so strong, at least not As long as they see the power of Cecil's order afterwards, they will know how correct their choices are."
