Chapter 341 North-South Opposition(2/2)
Maybe you won't find the right direction at the beginning, and you can only try randomly, or grab the only power and strength you have.
But as time goes on step by step, countless ideas and attempts fight and fight with each other in this chaos, just like big waves washing away the sand, things that can truly withstand the test slowly emerge.
In this way, even if some stubborn people still don't want to admit it, they have gradually lost the basis of their past rule. The essence of power is recognition. When this recognition and consensus are gradually questioned and unable to gain a foothold, its effectiveness will become more and more effective.
It's getting lower and weaker.
In the year of the Double Moon, the Elf Queen, who has lived in the Emerald Forest for a long time, went to the capital of the Eastern Territory, Shiqin Province, and the Singing Territory to interview the current Duke of Landsworth.
The talks ended three days later, and the Landsworths kept the details of the talks closed to the public.
Three months later, Her Majesty Evelyn, the Queen of the Eastern Empire, and the Landsworth family jointly issued an order to summon the nobles of the Eastern Empire to make the highest decision.
In this resolution, the Eastern Empire passed a brand new reform code, announcing the end of the aristocratic system, and the entire country moving towards a republican era. All nobles will gradually give up their power and ownership of their territories in accordance with the steps stipulated in the code, and these will be taken back to the country.
, and the national leaders elected by the people will re-direct the leadership.
Such a huge step also ushered in a huge challenge. During the resolution, the three nobles lifted the table and roared. However, they were captured on the spot by the guards in the meeting. The next week, the fiefdoms of these three nobles were destroyed by the roaring roar in the wilderness.
The Unicorn Knights defeated it, and the ownership of the entire territory returned to the state.
Under the joint intimidation of the Elf Queen, the Landsworth Family Head, and Queen Evelyn, the other nobles present finally had to sign this contract and consensus, gradually giving up everything they had done for hundreds of years.
In order to appease and commend, the conference also passed some compensation policies, such as providing a certain amount of wealth to these families who gave up power, and receiving tax exemptions for nearly 20 years, and providing education and medical assistance subsidies to children within the fifth generation, etc.
.
Perhaps in the eyes of some extremists, this is still unfair, but compared to going through a bloody war, it only takes several generations to digest it slowly and peacefully. This is already the lowest cost method.
After that, the empire also officially entered a state of confrontation between east, west, and north. The western and northern borders formed a conservative alliance, and the southern and eastern borders formed a reformist alliance. The borders on both sides began to accumulate a large number of troops, and wars occurred almost all the time.
