After Xia He's side decided on the final war plan, he returned to the Twin Cities and convened a meeting of all the nobles who had taken refuge in him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to use troops against the Merifin family."
There was silence below, everyone knew that the duke was strong and strong, but the Merrich family had a deep background, and they were not ordinary nobles.
After all, the Duke has risen too short a time.
"I hope you can join, according to the resources you provide, the proportion of troops, etc., in the end, you will be given corresponding benefits.
I can even come up with two worlds and share them with you. ” "Duke, I'm participating" someone immediately responded.
In fact, Xia He doesn't take benefits, and these people will also participate, but the help provided is not so great.
Xia He glanced at the earl, smiled, and said, "I have a lot of troops, according to the real proportion, you may not be able to share much, but I will take out a fixed amount and distribute it according to the proportion between you."
I'll also be building plantation factories and alchemy factories in your territory, producing some of our unique equipment, which may not be that large, but at least it will increase your own war potential a lot. ” "Lord Duke, in this case, it will be a great loss for you."
A little baron patted his ass.
"I can do it myself, but if you follow me and go to war, there will definitely be losses, and the losses may be very large.
So make amends to you first, so that you don't have any resentment against me when you get it. ” "Don't dare" "Duke, we will never be so unconscionable."
Xia He smiled very gently and said, "Okay, if you follow me, you are taking risks, you all know that I have not been in business for a long time, and I like to cause trouble."
Everyone has put their wealth and life on me, and if you follow me, you will offend many, many people.
So this time, I'm going to take you with me. ” "My lord, is there anything we don't know" asked a marquis, he was the highest person in the ranks, although the family was in the middle, but the background was still much stronger than other small nobles, and he even had two worlds in his hands.
"I'm worried, the Green Forest side, and the Leo Continent side, it's definitely not normal.
It's possible that we won't even be able to defeat the Half-Elf Empire, and we'll be attacked by them.
You know why the Temple of Dawn is so persuaded, I let them go, and they go."
"The Great Prophecy of the Temple of Dawn is the most powerful."
"That's right, the Temple of Dawn has gathered its strength and gone back to the Green Forest to protect itself.
The Dawn Temple is so strong, they all ran back to take care of the lair, do you think the matter of the green forest is simple In addition, now that you follow me, there is another reason, because I am short of manpower and need the manpower in your hands. ” The nobles laughed, and Xia He said: "So you are sending charcoal in the snow, I am naturally grateful."
You know why, I asked you to send troops and help, but don't mention the matter of the knighthood?"
This time, the nobles didn't understand, and the other big nobles, when they encouraged the small nobles to send troops, would promise a lot of benefits in terms of titles, but Duke Asra never mentioned it.
"Because the titles are all empty, if the balance of power between the royal family and the imperial nobles can be the same as I am to you, His Majesty the Emperor can easily split the big nobles, so that their power will weaken from generation to generation, and eventually disappear.
If I give you a title, you can get it back, and what I want to give you is what I can't get back. ” Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the words below Xia He.
"I want to build a country in which there are no nobles, no parliaments, no citizens, no commoners.
The status of each person is linked to their merits and the rank of citizens.
The rank of citizenship is one's own, and merit can be passed on to future generations, and I have no right to obstruct it.
All the feats you have made today can be left to future generations.
That's the real legacy. ” "So, my lord, what is a meritorious service?"
Of course, the nobles knew the literal meaning of meritorious service, but what Xia He said didn't seem to be.
"For example, this time the Baron of Palau sent out a hundred men to help me fight the war, and achieved the results, then part of the results belonged to the Baron of Palau, which can be converted into a value to represent the amount of his merits.
This feat is an inalienable part of the Baron of Palau.
Even if he rebels and is killed by me in the future, this merit can be passed on to future generations. ” The Baron of Palau shrunk his neck, and everyone laughed, a little less harmonious.
After all, the aristocracy has lasted for too long, and it is difficult for everyone to accept a country without nobility.
"Not a nobleman, what is the advantage is the fault of the Baron of Palau, and he does not have to let his children bear it.
Unless his children were also involved in the rebellion. ” "Duke, that, me" "Just take you as an example, you can't betray me."
Xia He said with a smile.
Everyone also laughed together, the laughter was still a little not so harmonious, Xia Hedao: "What is the privilege of nobility, and where does the privilege come from" Everyone pondered, Xia Daodao: "Think about the hereditary nobles of the current empire, they all followed Juno I to make contributions to the founding of the country, so they have today's status."
Aristocrats had privileges that were passed down from generation to generation and passed on to their children and grandchildren, and that was what nobility was all about. ” "Nobles, isn't it for the protection of commoners?"
Everyone laughed again, looking at the viscount who spoke, this guy is still quite aristocratic.
"You follow me, today's war is your future privilege.
Yes, in a world without nobility, there are still privileges.
And these privileges can be hereditary, and you are not lacking anything. ” "Isn't that just a name change" "Of course it's different, the nobility has military power, but the citizens don't.
However, citizens can still run businesses, open factories, and get some tax breaks.

Citizens have no people and are only accountable to the state.
When the country needs generals, it chooses only from among its citizens. ” Xia He looked at the nobles present and said, "I told you this before the war, because I didn't want you to regret it.
What I can guarantee is that the system I am talking about today can guarantee your interests.
Everyone who is willing to give, will get the benefits he deserves.
I can't just like one of you in this room to make your exploits more feathers.
Your children and grandchildren, if they work hard, will be able to achieve more feats. ” "This feat, can you change things?"
Xia He glanced at the earl and said, "Of course you can, you can exchange almost anything, and there are some things that money can't buy, you can also exchange them for meritorious service."
For example, forcibly making a person a legend. ” Everyone, suddenly held their breath, silent Everyone understands that forcibly raising the level does not bring too strong combat effectiveness, but the lifespan can be really improved.
Duke Asra means that if you have enough merits, you can redeem life Yes, it's good to be a nobleman, it's good, but if you live for one or two hundred years, you still have to die.
"It's not just a matter of longevity, merit can also be exchanged for the opportunity to practice, your children, if you want to acquire a certain skill, I will have a special academy, and use merit to buy learning opportunities, including teaching and teaching."
"Citizen, then, it sounds, there can be no slaves," asked a nobleman, a little apprehensive.
"Why do you want a slave in a few years, and I will be able to build a robot slave of your choice, without eating, as long as it can be recharged.
In the future, the robot slave is the status symbol, and there are all kinds of models.
Although I will abolish the aristocracy, I will not abolish the family system. ” As soon as these words came out, most people's concerns were dispelled.
Family is the key to inheritance.
It is true that the nobility has many privileges, but there are also responsibilities, and they are not literal.
If you don't fulfill your noble responsibilities, others will be able to conquer you in this name.
When you're weak, someone will do something to you.
However, merit cannot be calculated in this way, and others cannot take it away.
If you can't take it away, there will be a huge number of meritorious deeds, and the family will be able to cultivate even better talents.
Although, although such a system will give many civilians a chance to ascend to the sky, compared with the family, the opportunities for civilians are not so many.
All of you here are people with ideas, and they are willing to follow Xia He because they don't want to stick to the rules and continue to mess around.
Here in Xiahe, they have a chance to rise.
"So, my lord, what about our land" "The land belongs to the state, but depending on the citizenship rank, you can own a portion of the land and hand it over to the state after death, or pass it on to future generations by donating a certain number of merits.
It's certainly not too high, at least less than what you want to be a legend. ” "What if the merit is insufficient?"
someone asked worriedly.
It is not a problem that the land is reduced, according to what the duke said, if you hand over the land, you can directly get meritorious.
It is also possible to take merit by giving up the population.
The land left for everyone must be no less than the area of a castle.
"You can buy it with money, but it costs a lot of money.
In my opinion, it's worth it.
This kind of land is your private territory, and you can play whatever you like in it. ” It sounds like buying their own land, but it's worth it, but now they are running their own land, and the annual investment is not small.
If you want land, you have to invest.
"Harvest on your own land, tax-free."
Xia He said again.
This time, the laughing people are much more harmonious, tax-free, which is the favorite power of the aristocracy.
Of course, what everyone dislikes the most is that Duke Asra wants to gain absolute control, and everyone no longer has military power.
It's just that military power is something that is needed to ensure the existence of the title, and the title is gone, so why do you want military power.
In the future, there will be mech warriors and builds, and this is not forbidden to buy.
Listening to Xia He's analysis of civic privileges little by little, the resistance of the nobles was not so strong.
They heard that Duke Asra was targeting those old nobles, and the influence on them, the minor nobles, was not fatal
