The Nicean Empire was actually the most promising to revive the glory of the Byzantine Empire. The Lascalis family worked hard to rebuild the military system, but in the end it failed. The most critical factor was the strength of the old nobles. When Chiraclius came to Constantinople, he led the army of the Aphilica province under his command. The old nobles were almost massacred by the usurper Faucas, so it was naturally much easier to implement the new system. However, Nicea was the main place for the exile of the great nobles in Constantinople, so it is conceivable that the resistance of the Lascalis family faced.

However, Justinian did not have such obstacles. The arrival of the Latins caused the rule of the western region of the Byzantine Empire to collapse, and all old relationships were uprooted. The Orthodox Church and the Pronian nobles were either killed or expelled. Justinian, who occupied Molia, could freely control the land in his hands. Along the way, looking at Tripolis, everything here was in his sight. At this time, the sun had set west, but in the surrounding villages, many tenants were still sweating profusely, working hard in the fields, panting. Originally, everything should make people feel at ease, but there was a fluctuation in Justinian's heart.

Justinian, who was prosperous in front of him, finally made plans and started his own attempt from here.

"What, do you say you want to reward land to the soldiers who have been meritorious? Do you want to rebuild the Seme system?!" Neusky couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him in surprise when he learned Justinian's idea. This was not a simple idea. Although Justinian was the governor of Molia, he actually did not have the right to do so. This was often a decision that the emperor could make. Moreover, it was not easy for Justinian to reward land to the soldiers who have been meritorious. These properties were nominally the property of Molia's exiled nobles, and it was undoubtedly illegal to deal with their land without authorization.

"This is too risky, Justinian. You do this to be a serious sin. And don't forget that your soldiers are the personal soldiers of Theodor Ducas. Your use of such means will only make the other party suspect that you are winning over his subordinates." Neusky completely denied Justinian's idea. This is crazy. The military system has long been in name only, and Justinian's attempt to restore it is completely futile.

But Justinian retorted: "The entire empire has a population of millions, but when the Latin army besieged Constantinople, where was the army? Even the Valangi Guard of the Royal Guard was owed for half a year. Neuski, you should know the best. However, what exactly made the empire that was extremely powerful and could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops become weak now. The soldiers sang slogans praising the emperor and fought for the empire. What was the final return? Weibo's salary was not enough to support their families, and the years of battle made them unable to go back to farm. Even he

We also have to serve our superiors, be hit by bureaucrats, squeeze out one copper plate after another, and live a worse life than a beast. But in the end, we still cannot avoid our land being taken away by the lord and becoming slaves. If we encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, our family will be destroyed. Large areas of rural communes disappear and collapse, and the fattening of incompetent nobles. When the country is in danger, no one is willing to stand up! Those who love her have no power, while those who have the power have no conscience, and even the souls of those who sit on the throne are corrupt, so I want to change all this - from now on."

Neusky was shocked for a moment. He did not expect Justinian to say this, which made him feel unlike anything that a young man could say. Justinian's words even gave him a sense of fear. Every word of the words pointed directly at the powerful nobles in the Byzantine Empire. Looking at Justinian who said this, he didn't know whether to praise him for his bravery or call him a madman.

"What you said is true, but who doesn't know that this country has been sick for a long time. But what can you change if the emperors of all generations cannot do? The vengeance of the wolf cannot stop their greed!" Neusky couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know this. It was the greed of the nobles that destroyed everything in the empire.

"I didn't blame anyone, I just told the situation facing this country. Of course, I also understand what you mean, but I didn't mean to negotiate with the wild wolf. The best way to deal with the greedy wild beasts is to butcher the knife. I don't have such a lofty ideal to save this country, but I know that if more people live, I must let some people die. This country is so bad, not because there are too few good people, but because there are too many bad people, and no matter how many good deeds are, they cannot offset a bad deed. Distributing the land to the soldiers, so that they can farm with peace of mind and live a life of full food and clothing is only the first step. More importantly, eliminating those potential threats and preventing them from destroying the stable lives I gave them. This way, it can be done once and for all." After Justinian finished speaking, a terrifying light appeared in his eyes, which made Neuski, who looked at Justinian, feel a little scared. What a killing decision.

His Majesty Muzfius, who did you choose? Neuski murmured to himself in his heart.

Some of the emperors of the Komuning dynasty worked hard to change the fate of the empire, while others eventually gave up on themselves. During the Antilles dynasty, the empire was terminally ill and was eventually taken advantage of by the Latins. But at this time, the young boy in front of him stood up and said he wanted to change all this. However, Neusky did not find it absurd. If it were someone else, he might sneer, but if it were Molia's little fox, he really believed that he would give himself a huge surprise.

"But if you do this, the nobles at Tynaronko would not give up. Didn't you say you would go there before? This may be unfavorable to our negotiations with them." Despite praising Justinian's thoughts and decisions, Neusky expressed his concerns. Although he took down Tripolis and allowed them to stand firm in Peloponnese, they would still try their best to unite all their strength as much as possible in the face of the vassal state of Achaia.
