When the two princes of Andrew Leslie and Roperie Gülen left, the feudal aristocracy that lasted for seven hundred years in the land of the Southland officially ended.

If the artillery fire of the gravel ridge and the meteorite fortress destroyed the entity of the aristocracy, then thirty-three circadian voluntary contract documents and a joint declaration document with all the nobles' signatures in the south destroyed the soul of the system.

In Gao Wen’s hand, the “Restructuring Joint Statement”, which still seems to have ink scent, on the signature page of the statement, including the names of the Count of Andrew and the Baroness Lopini, seems to represent the end of an era. He carefully printed each name in his mind, then took the dip pen from the desk and wrote the name of Govin Cecil at the end of the document.

He knows that the old times did not really end - in the north of the Rock Fortress, outside the barriers of the mountains in the south, Ansu is still an ancient kingdom that relies on the old aristocracy to operate, and the darkness still envelopes everyone's head, even It is in the South, and within the Principality of Cecil, the shadows and influences of the old era will still be entangled for a long time, and it is still a long-term undertaking to completely eliminate it.

But with these documents signed today, the cause will progress even more smoothly.

“This part of the signature document is used for publicity,” Gao Wen pushed the document in front of him to Heti, opposite the desk. “Besides printing the whole territory, look for a stonemason to sculpted into a monument, and the tree is prominent in the city. Next is Every effort has been made to promote the reform of the Southland. Newspapers with high literacy rates and places with low literacy rates have to find ways to promote the 'pub paradox'. Everyone in the South must know this news before the end of the harvest month."

"In this way, the work of the second-level government office should be much easier." Heti showed a smile, and she was obviously very happy. "The recruitment of scholars will not be hindered again, and those who hesitate to wait and see should have no worries. It is."

"Even so, I am sure there will be people who will contravene the new regulations," Gao Wen said. "But the axioms and laws are on our side, and all the resistance to the new rules can be severely punished, especially those exiled knights - give them a The final surrender period, surrendering the term of surrender, is based on rebellion against treason. This time, they can no longer use 'loyalty to the old master' as a shield. Our executions will be completely legal and will be supported by all people. ""

Understand the three views of people in this era, understand the way of thinking of the people under the rule, and then promote their own career in a way that conforms to the background of the times and the three views of the people, and gradually transform this era in this process. This is Gao Wenzhao. The choice of the governance route after the Southland - the world is not the same as playing the world, the latter often only need strong force, and the former ... must move some brains.

The newly established printing factory started work around the clock, and the new large-scale industrial printing press was sent to the workshop of the printing factory just after the production line, and then a piece of white paper was continuously carried into the information at a surprising speed in a mechanical roar. The newspapers and books, in the latest issue of Cecil Weekly, the historical scene of the collective signing of documents by the Southern aristocrats as the head of the edition, occupying a full share of the edition, the large black and white portrait is the first time since the birth of the newspaper The "photograph" published in the photo, at the top of the black and white portrait, the boldest font of the largest number announces the meaning of this scene:

"The Principality's contract, all the old lords in the South have sworn in to support Cecil's law - let us cheer for the great order."

The new issue of the newspaper went off the press, was sorted and packaged in the hands of the printer, then sent to the distribution center, and then sent to Kansas with the messenger, sent to Kant, sent to Gülen, sent to Hosman , sent to every corner of the South.

In the main city of Cecil and several satellite towns with high literacy rate, the propaganda effect of the newspaper is the best, but in places where the literacy rate is not high, so some people can read the contents of the newspaper and tell the news. Everyone around you.

The morning sun sprinkled on the old and broken streets of Carroll City. The heat from the sun dispelled the condensed water droplets on the weed blades of the corner, and the carriage of the Cecil-marked carriage drove through the only stone road in the town. The bell hanging on the carriage sprinkled a string of jingles, waking the residents of the town from sleep.

The blacksmith walked into the workshop and scolded the apprentice who was dozing off while looking after the furnace. The stonemason picked up his tools and prepared to go to the newly established government office to ask about the work he could do. The women slammed the children who slept lately. The husband rushed out of the room and began to clean up the stinky messy bed. The men and the half-large children were carrying dry food, walking to the street with their working family, preparing to work in the fields, or going to the town square. Take a chance."

A section of the wall that had been collapsed by the Cecils with a cannon was still lingering on the open space south of the town. A team of yawning men was cleaning up broken stones and wood under the supervision of the foreman, occasionally from the ruins. The passing people will quickly sweep across the remaining walls with awe and even fear, as if the blast of the day was still in their hearts.

A team of Cecil soldiers walked through the street in neat rows. Although they did not harass the roadside people like ordinary aristocrats, the civilians on the roads still instinctively bowed their heads in awe. Leaning to the side - the Carrolls have adapted to these soldiers. Since the outbreak of the war, a large number of Cecils have passed through the town, from where they went to the battlefields in the north, and from here after the victory Returning to the South; they established the Office of the Government in the town and turned the castle of the old lords into barracks and offices, and then introduced new laws; they were "outsiders" but they have become the rulers of the town. And the people who lived in this town... accepted it without any feeling.

"The ruling official" said that the water had to be boiled before it could be drunk. For this reason, the serfs and the tenant farmers were allowed to cut wood. (In the past, this kind of people could only pick up the wood chips and not allow the trees of the lords to be cut down.) Just boil the water and drink it again; the governor’s lord said that he could not urinate in the street. After dozens of people smashed the whip in the street, everyone began to use the newly built toilets. The governor’s lord let the craftsmen Go to the Office of Government Affairs and register, then everyone will go to the registration, and there is no need to pay the money anyway...

The Cecils are strange, the new law is very strange, but at least they don’t grab food, and they can still pass that day.

But not everyone feels like this.

The big businessman Cod was sitting in his house, the tea from the maid was already cold, but he still didn't drink, his heart was upset, and his eldest son sat in front of him.

"Father, did the Office of Administration come again yesterday?"

"Yes," the big businessman said sullenly. "I still sign the Commercial Convention. They want to build a factory on the open space south of the town. I want to go out and lobby the people there... ..."

"You still haven't signed?" The eldest son frowned. "Father, that's the lord..."

"Oh, of course I know that it is the lord, I don't dare to offend," the big businessman sighed. "Even if they let me take one-third of the ... a quarter of the family's wealth to repair the walls and castles." Ah, but they only want me to sign the convention and let me go... This is absolutely impossible."

If the money is gone, you can earn it again. It is every businessman who wants to use money to satisfy the requirements of the lord. Especially in this commercially developed Carroll collar, the long-term businessman who relies on the lord’s grace to make a fortune is the Cod. I know very well, but in the face of the commercial conventions that Cecils have come up with, the big businessman who is ready to use his family's wealth for peace is hesitant.

"Father, you better agree, and the Office of Government Affairs is not good for you. Although they seem to be talking very well now, who knows how long their patience can last, you don't sign, they might even drive us all." Go out..."

"It is a business to spend money. The end of business is over. The signature is a lifetime, not so good," the big businessman sighed. The eldest son is not stupid in doing business, but his life experience is still too little. "Do you know how many businessmen are watching? Who else is signed? If most people don't sign at the end, then the signer... What is the difference between being in the business circle and being exiled?"

"The Cecil people have already occupied this place. In the future, the whole southern region will be Cecil. Everyone will sign sooner or later."

"...I know, of course I know," Cod said with a wry smile. "I will sign sooner or later, so I want to wait any longer. I really don't want to sign the first one. The Cecil's weapon is powerful, but there are... ”

The big businessman’s words were not finished, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open by a man, and his second son waved a roll of paper and ran into the room happily: “Father! Father! Signed! Signed!”

Cod could hardly hear the word "signature" now. He stood up at the moment he heard the word and shouted loudly: "What words are signed!! Who asked you to sign?!"

"Signature? Ah! It's not me, not me!" The young man glanced at the atmosphere in the room, looked at the wrong brother and the angry father, and quickly responded and waved the newspaper in his hand. "It is a nobleman in the south. The southern aristocrats signed up - you see, the front page of today's newspaper, and even a picture!"

"What paintings, what headlines are headline..." The big businessman, Cod, stepped forward to grab the newspaper in his second hand. He knew that the "newspaper" invented by the Cecil people, with the excellent intuition of the businessman, he was At first glance, I realized the meaning of this thing. This is a timely information that is vital to the merchant. Therefore, since the regular messenger carriage appeared in the carol collar, he commanded the second son. I must buy a new newspaper in the first place, but he can't think of any information in the newspaper that would be so amazing that the youngest son, who has always been weak and warm, is excited to look like this.

After the newspaper was unfolded, he understood.

He saw the black and white "painting", the lifelike "painting", which is obviously a scene left by some kind of magic. It is a real event. The power of magic recorded this incident. The Syrian's "Magic Industry" copied this record into countless copies and sent it to all places under their rule - including Carol in the north.

"The Principality has contracted, and all the old lords in the South have sworn to admire Cecil's law..." The big businessman, Cod, muttered to himself, and suddenly realized the message from the newspaper.

"Signature...Signature!" cried the big businessman. "Quick, maid, take my coat, I am going to the government office. - Damn, Donny's old things live next to the government office. I hope he doesn't have morning. The habit of reading the newspaper... I must be the first one!"

The two sons were shocked by the father’s violent reaction. They asked each other in a wrong way: "Father?"

"There is no time, now is the time to make a statement," Cod said as he took the coat that the maid hurriedly handed over. He suddenly remembered what he was halfway through, and turned his head to stare at the eldest son's eyes. "Pal You go to the south and go to Weiler - tell him that he bought it in the land!"
