"Your Majesty said that the fee will be given to you by one thousand silver coins, that's enough!" The messenger told Rudolph of Frederick's generous conditions. One thousand silver coins are indeed a considerable wealth. It seems that Frederick is also very clear that this matter is quite difficult for the small Schwartzshire.

"My territory has just been robbed by the rebels and is still recovering. Although the kind King gave me a thousand silver coins, it is still quite difficult to complete His Majesty's mission." Rudolf said to the envoy.

"Sir Rudolph, what do you want?" The messenger frowned. He was a little impatient. As the vassal of Earl of Schwartz, Frederick could give orders directly, and Schwartz County, as a vassal, must complete the task. Frederick has given a considerable amount of money now, which can be said to be very generous to the Habsburg family.

"I hope that Your Majesty will allow the caravans of Schwarz County to have the privilege of doing business freely in His Majesty's direct territory." Rudolf said to the messenger.

"What?" the messenger opened his mouth. He did not expect that Rudolph made such a request. The nobles were usually unsatisfactory guys. They had almost endless money and land, but what Rudolph asked for was only trade rights.

"Yes, because it takes a lot of stone materials to expand the castle, but my territory does not produce stones. I can only go to His Majesty's Principality of Swabian to buy it. If the peer tax and the guild trade tax are added, it will bring me a considerable burden. I hope Your Majesty can be exempted." Rudolf said humbly to the messenger.

"Is that all?" the messenger asked carefully, he couldn't believe his ears.

"That's right." Rudolph nodded sincerely. He knew that it was unrealistic to let Frederick give him the toll privileges of the entire kingdom, but if it was only Frederick's own direct territory, it could be decided by Frederick himself.

"I will tell His Majesty." The messenger secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Count Schwartz was Frederick's vassal, he was not Frederick's direct territory after all. If Rudolph refused the king's order, a civil war would break out before conquering Italy. Although Frederick did not take the Habsburg family seriously, he did not want to waste his soldiers' lives for no reason.

"I just want the right of caravans to pass. Regent, are you kidding?" But after the envoy left, Rudolph's palace nobles broke up. They thought Rudolph missed a good opportunity to ask the royal family for rewards.

"Regent, it is obvious that the royal family needs us now, but you have missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in vain." A Schwartz's court nobleman said to Rudolf.

"Do you all think so?" Rudolf ignored the complaints of the nobles of the palace. He took a glass of wine from his servant, untied the fur cloak on his body, and placed it on the back of the chair.

"Regent, although I think it's unethical to ask for infinitely from the royal family, Schwartz County has just passed the rebellion and we really need help." Taylor held his hands and looked at Rudolph and said carefully.

"Yes, the villagers need assistance, and no one knows how many of the abominable traitors are hiding. We need to recruit troops to defend the territory." The palace nobles said one after another, seeing the situation getting out of control.

"Stop, Lord Regent has not yet expressed his explanation. Why are you so unreasonable?" Maxiu glanced at Rudolf and shouted loudly to the nobles of the palace.

"What, you, a lowly despicable embryo with unknown origin, dares to speak to us like this." But Maxiu's rebuke not only did not calm the anger of the nobles of the palace, but instead made them even more angry. In the eyes of these nobles, Maxiu was just a boy of unknown origin. There are rumors that this spy leader who was valued by Rudolph was just a villain in the town of Lorraine. When the nobles thought of being in the same court with a villain, the nobles felt very ashamed.

"You ~~." Maxiu suddenly stopped speaking, and he even felt aggrieved and helpless. Bloodline is always an insurmountable threshold. In the eyes of the nobles, no matter how capable Maxiu is, he is still a lowly person.

"Shush, Ma Xiu is my spy chief. Are you insulting him? "Rudolph said to the nobles without hesitation. These fence-bearing wretched people thought they had made contributions in the military coup in which Rudolph regained his inheritance, but when they were rewarded on merit, they did not get any substantial benefits. The resentment in their hearts was like budding weeds, growing freely in the dark corners of the palace.

"Woo~~." The nobles looked at the angry Rudolph and did not dare to continue to speak. They lowered their heads and did not look at Rudolph's eyes. The room suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere became very strange.

"I hope that all the nobles can unite and help me overcome the difficulties in such a difficult situation in Schwarz County, rather than accuse the general manager I appointed." Rudolf looked at the palace nobles and even regretted why he did not solve the problem together when the coup was launched.

Rudolf's thoughts moved and woke up the group of historical masters in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Rudolph, have you ever encountered similar problems?

Li Shimin, you are fortunate to ask me, don’t solve it roughly. This is not a simple xenophobic problem.

Li Shimin immediately analyzed to Rudolf that, judging from the experience of Li Tang's Guanlong Group, the nobles were actually a group of vested interests, and this group must be xenophobic. In order to break this vested interest group, Emperor Yang of Sui developed an imperial examination system and attempted to discover talents from poor families, just like a group of civilians promoted by Rudolf now.

But in the end, he was killed by the Guanlong Group. In fact, Li Shimin admired his cousin very much, but he could only say that Emperor Yang of Sui was too impatient and did not realize how powerful the group was.

Rudolph is true, but how to solve it?

Rudolph couldn't help feeling a chill behind his back. Even the emperor at the peak of the power of the Celestial Dynasty would be killed by such an interest group. He, a small count, could not easily offend the aristocratic class, but if it was not resolved, his authority would be undermined. He could not remove his appointed Ma Xiu and others!

Ying Zheng is wrong, this matter is easy to deal with!

Suddenly, Ying Zheng, who had been diving, went online. He gave Rudolf an idea. Before the Qin State reform, the aristocratic power was also very stubborn, but Daliang Zhuang Shang Yang dismantled the aristocratic power by fighting and pulling.

How Rudolph beats and pulls?

Ying Zheng wanted to fight them and dare not move around, but he also wanted to give them hope for promotion.

Ying Zheng gave Rudolf a brief explanation. The military merits and title system developed by Shang Yang back then was to destroy the corrupt old clans, but it also gave the more positive young nobles in the old clan a way out, so that they knew that privileges were achieved by themselves and that they should not rely on the rules and regulations of the past.
