MTL - Magic Tower Starry Sky-Chapter 1434 torrent trend
Originally, Lin thought that the grand dukes were eager to legally share the power in the hands of the emperor, so after learning about the content of the constitution and the conditions given by the empress, they would immediately announce the relevant matters and proceed to implement them. With an attitude that cannot be questioned, all obstacles are swept away.
In fact, these old and cunning nobles once again taught a certain time traveler a lesson.
They unanimously requested that the relevant content be postponed for three days. And during the three-day window period, they used it to... rob people!
Needless to say, the agricultural population in their respective territories can be registered directly. Farmers are tied to the land and are the least controversial group.
The same situation is for those nobles who have fiefdoms. Wherever the fief falls, whoever is tied to the land is irrelevant. If you still dare to refuse, the ownership of the land can be reconsidered.
Instead, the focus is on three groups of people: artisans, merchants, and families of nobles.
Artisan movement occurs less frequently. But there is a situation where a certain area itself lacks a certain type of craftsman, so the lord will hire them from other places.
This kind of people may settle in this place, or they may return to their original environment after teaching qualified apprentices. The grand dukes are trying to find a way to let these craftsmen who stay in their territory directly settle down and become a settled population.
Businessmen are the group that can run around the most. Whenever the chamber of commerce is rooted in its own territory, but the members go to other places to do business, the grand dukes directly issue an order. Even if those people do not come back, they must have an agent let them settle in the chamber of commerce base area. Of course, they are not allowed to register in other places.
As for the labor labor and long-term mercenaries hired by the Chamber of Commerce, as long as they meet the qualifications to become citizens, semi-coercive means are used to make them stay and settle down.
For a time, these most politically sensitive businessmen were panicked, knowing that the political situation of the empire was about to undergo major changes. But how to change, they are ignorant.
In contrast, although the actions of the grand dukes in their respective territories are coercive, there is no obvious harm in choosing to settle down. On the contrary, if you don't settle down, you will be made things difficult by the lord. Therefore, they obeyed the lord's order with the attitude that one thing more is worse than one thing less.
You know, if it is a small noble in the empire, some wealthy merchants have the ability to suppress the other party in turn. However, the nobles who have made big moves in the past few days, no matter whether the will behind them comes from one of the six grand dukes, or the follow-up empress Her Majesty, no matter how powerful the rich merchants are, they will not be able to provoke them. So they can only cooperate.
The most troublesome part is the family of nobles.
Unlike their knighted patriarchs, noble families were not bound by fiefdoms. You can live anywhere you want as long as you can afford the local cost of living. In the Karlsruhe Empire, as long as they were noble children from wealthy families, they would move to live in big cities.
In addition to convenience, it is also to get a share of the big city's interests, so they must have important people to sit in charge.
The person sitting in the town can also be represented by the noble himself, and the territory can be entrusted to a steward or appoint a consul to manage it. But in more cases, the adult children of the family are still responsible. Such people are likely to live in these big cities for a long time, away from the family territory.
These people cannot be generalized, and all of them were arrested and settled in their respective territories. Because it is necessary to ensure the influence in these big cities, and even have a seat among the representatives of parliamentarians that these cities can elect. Then how people arrange scheduling becomes a difficult problem.
Then it is to calculate the population of each gathering place in the territory. If there is a small town that is close to the threshold of 2,000 people, find a way to enrich the population and cross the population threshold that can elect representatives.
This is because the window time left is not long enough, otherwise Lin believes that some people will definitely split up certain towns with large populations in a frenzy.
Fortunately, it is too late to build a new house in a short period of time, and it may not be possible to find a suitable place to place a new town. Otherwise, the policy implemented by someone with good intentions as the starting point may be played by these nobles as a bad policy that wastes people and money.
At this time, Lin somewhat understood why in the history of his hometown, those who promoted the New Deal mostly failed. Even people like Wang Anshi, although not yet ruined, are not far behind.
It is really that those who execute it are too good at drilling, and they can always find a place where they can take advantage of it. Then take advantage of the convenience given by others to implement the New Deal, and find ways to maximize their own interests.
The movements of the six Grand Dukes were not secretive at all. After all, it is a matter involving people inside and outside the territory, and there is no way to keep it secret if you want to keep it secret. After reacting, Lin immediately strongly suggested that the empress follow suit, and he even offered a few strategies.
Although the emperor will be excluded from the ruling circle in the future, he will no longer get involved in it. But the emperor also has territories, and representatives of parliamentarians can also be elected from these territories. Then those who want to win the voting battle will inevitably find a way to win over the parliamentarians elected by these emperor's territories.
Therefore, it seems that the emperor was excluded from the ruling circle, but the emperor still had influence. For the current empress, this is a way to regain her political influence.
The Grand Dukes could see this, but they didn't try to block it, or re-exclude the Empress. It is a big enough concession for an emperor to give up the power to govern on the surface. It is not a trouble to let the other party take back a little power.
The actions of the six grand dukes, coupled with the follow-up behavior of the empress, made the nobles who had not heard of it stunned. No one knows why those big guys are doing it.
There was that timid nobleman who, although he didn't understand, still followed suit. Maybe I didn't learn the whole set, but at least the census and household registration are still understandable.
The one with the most sense of crisis is the Grand Duke of Frias, who is recognized as the strongest among the nobles.
He will be excluded from the constitutional conclave by some magician because he has become a great nobleman closest to the emperor's power through his son's marriage to the empress, Prince Thomas. Such a person can almost treat him as a member of the quasi-royal family, that is, he is very likely to become a member of the constitutional resistance.
For such a reason, the other six grand dukes didn't think it was too much at all, and they also approved of a certain magician's behavior. Instead of strongly demanding, as a member of the great nobles of the empire, we should advance together and retreat together. In fact, the filthiness between them is no less than the conflict between them and the empress.
And this group of big figures of the same rank as him had special actions, and the empress followed suit. Of course, Grand Duke Frias couldn't just sit back and watch all the changes, and he had no way to respond. He appeased those nobles who were also ignorant and attached to him, and at the same time sent people to find out the hidden truth behind it.
It was already the next day when the Archduke Frias received the documents of the Constitution and the Royal Law.
Perhaps he failed to get an explanation from a certain cross-traveler, but he could understand the unmistakable words, and he also understood the actions and intentions of other great nobles. The first thought of Grand Duke Frias was to think from the standpoint of the children of the royal family, and he must stop this law that empties the emperor's power!
He may not have the chance to grasp that throne, that crown, but his descendants and family have a chance! If the emperor's power is really gone, then what is his hard work so far?
What's even more hateful is that this matter is difficult to operate with two sides. That is to say, while preventing the implementation of the matter, it is also secretly doing the same thing as the other six grand dukes.
Because those actions are too difficult to hide. If the little aristocrats attached to him can see the clues, or his allies in the royal family can see through his hands and feet, then his own actions to prevent the implementation of the two laws will become a joke in the eyes of others.
At most, it operates within its own territory. This also means giving up the opportunities in those big cities.
The source of everything lies in that hateful magician!
Not only did Grand Duke Frias itch his teeth with hatred, but the furnishings in his study also suffered.
Eventually, two laws were published. But it was not officially promulgated by the empress three days after the secret meeting as planned by the six grand dukes, but was passed on by the grand duke of Frias. And with the help of the prestige of the forum, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com spread to all the nobles, wealthy merchants, and country gentry in a relatively short period of time.
In fact, Grand Duke Frias does not want to do this, because it will speed up and consolidate the implementation of the whole thing for those who have the opportunity to gain power from it. But he has to share it with those who have the opportunity to stand against the front, not alone against the coming political storm.
After all, although those royal children were deprived of their inheritance rights, their heirs still had a chance. As long as the empress still has nothing to show for it, regardless of whether Prince Behar is the first in line of succession, which family's child the empress adopts, it means that the first in line of succession will be replaced immediately. So, everyone has a chance.
But what the Grand Duke Frias didn't realize was that these people were disinherited for a reason. It's not just that they don't act confidentially, but also employ people in a sloppy manner. One thing that was supposed to be connected in secret suddenly became a secret known to the whole world.
And it's not just the Karlsruhe Empire, it's really 'the whole world' that is paying attention. A magician who was on a business trip received complaints from Grand Duke Kavi of the Gwana Empire.
When the matter could no longer be covered up, no matter how much the Grand Duke Frias hated him, he could only change his way of dealing with it. At this time, he intends to wait for changes, delay until things cannot be done, and then overthrow them in one go.
In this way, those supporters can also be accused of being unfavorable in doing things and failing the hearts of the people, and they will be expelled from the ruling core. Grand Duke Frias believed that as long as he held on tight, things would not be able to move forward.
Not for anything else, just because he and the nobles who depended on him, together with members of the royal family, are the largest force in the empire, and everyone should be afraid. No camp is qualified to challenge him.
But when the empress officially promulgated the relevant laws, there were many implementation methods that had not been discussed with others.
