Lux's Farewell

707 [0697] The new order of the city of Mithral

No one enjoyed the meal except Lux.

For these nobles who have lived in etiquette and rules since childhood, Lux's completely unruly behavior made them somewhat at a loss.

Even Lux has shown that she wants to completely crush the old rules of the aristocracy and cut herself off from aristocratic politics, and many people are still trying to get Lux to swallow her words back, and then make big things into small things.

At this moment, the conservatism of the nobility is fully exposed.

Of course Lux couldn't back down.

Even after the banquet, the arrest and trial quickly expanded to include Mithril's sheriff.

This time, apart from the Second Northern Army Corps in Mithril City, Northern Walkers and clerks also participated in the arrest.

Relying on Fossbarrow's sophisticated household registration system, the clerks originally from Mithril City were transferred to this operation. Together with the Second Northern Army Corps, they arrested the goons who had great public dissatisfaction in Mithril City, and After gathering the evidence, a public trial was completed.

When the trial platform was set up, and the tied up magistrates and tax officials were put on stage, accused, tried to prove themselves, and then tried with facts and evidence, the civilians who were still thinking about watching the show finally Gradually became excited.

Is this still possible?

Lay out the law in plain language, and tell all about the crimes of these men, and judge them!

Is this justice?

It turns out that this is justice!
When the trial began, the populace was silent.

But as the trial progressed gradually, as one by one the former dog legs were either detained or whipped, or even hanged for murder, the swearing and cheers finally gradually sounded.

Although the law relied on in the trial is Fossbarrow's law, which is theoretically quite different from the current Demacia law, but...who cares?
This huge public trial lasted for three full days.

And that's just the first step.

The follow-up clerks will carry the banner of Fossbarrow, and under the protection of the Northwalker and the Archon, continue to patrol the villages and towns around Mithril City, and clean up the entire Mithral City area like a plow.

At the same time, the highlight of the public trial finally came - under the disbelieving gazes of the people, those nobles whose surname was Crown Guard were also pushed onto the trial platform.

When Lux sat in the chair of the presiding judge, she solemnly announced the crimes of the people of the same clan, and produced evidence and tried them in the same order as before, even if the crimes of these nobles were worse than the previous dog legs, The people in the audience fell silent again.

The nobles were crushed with all their honors and judged in public?

For the civilians of Demacia, this is something that they can't even imagine.

In the eyes of Demacian civilians, nobles are synonymous with nobility. They were born in glory and do not need to engage in lowly labor like ordinary people. They can sweep the enemy on the battlefield and make great achievements in the fields of literature and art. For these "Wenqu stars" and "Wuqu stars", the common people's reverence is truly sincere.

There is no commoner who does not really envy the nobility and elegance of nobles, and no commoner does not aspire to become a member of the nobles, because for most commoners, the gap between them and the nobles is simply greater than that between humans and dogs.

However, at this very moment, Lak unscrupulously tore away the glory of the nobility, destroyed the aura of the nobility, and unscrupulously showed the filth and darkness of the nobility hidden in the dark in front of everyone.

Under the threat of punishment, the nobles who used to be arrogant will also repent, admit their mistakes, and beg for forgiveness in tears.

It seems that there is no difference between a nobleman and a commoner!

What's more terrible is that Lacus also disclosed the accounts of some nobles in a concise way, so as to tell the public, which of the taxes taken from you by the nobles are "really for Demacia" , which ones are "they fake Todemacia's name".

In the past, the law and the interpretation of the law have always had nothing to do with the common people. For the common people, the "law" they understand is only based on sympathetic revenge, killing people to pay for life, debts and money—not even equivalent.

And the deeper ones, such as taxation and corvee, are completely within the scope of free play of nobles and noble servants everywhere.

They have the power to interpret laws at the grassroots level, and based on this, they wantonly make profits for themselves. It can be said that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.

If it was placed ten years ago, the public trial of Lacus might not have given the public a very real understanding. At that time, the grassroots order in Demacia was still very stable, and many civilians were accumulating wealth, hoping that one day their descendants would You can also cast a hoe and join the army, become a soldier, and then be promoted to a noble lord.

But it's a pity that as Jarvan IV gathered the military power, even Misil City, which still has some private army power, has not actively recruited soldiers for ten years.

Moreover, in the past ten years, the price of goods in Demacia has been soaring step by step. Those who yearn to become nobles, seeing that the little money they have finally saved in their hands is becoming more and more "worthless", their hearts have long been gradually falling into a trap. despaired.

In this case, when Lux began to judge the nobles, the sympathy disappeared.

Compassion comes from empathy.

If civilians still have the opportunity to join the army and become nobles, then they will have illusions, hope that they will not be judged after becoming nobles, and will feel sympathy for the indignity of these decent people.

But now, Lux can only thank Jarvan IV for his efforts.

In order to gather power, he prohibited the nobles from recruiting private troops, and stopped the expansion of the regular army, directly cutting off the passage for civilians to become nobles.

The Shurima trade he carried out for the royal family's economy directly led to the inflation of Demacia due to the lack of systematic economic policies.

On the surface, Demacia has gone from kingdom to empire, and everything seems to be going smoothly.

But in fact, Jarvan IV's actions quietly dug up the roots of Demacia and cut off the connection between the nobles and the common people-the glory of victory temporarily covered up the problem, but with the sudden jump of the noble model Only then will people realize that Demacia has long lost popular support.

Objectively speaking, even in Demacia now, the horizontal comparison of civilian living standards is better than that of Noxus, which has been in bulk, and many city-states in the Principality of Valoran.

But the bad thing is that in the vertical comparison, the public can clearly feel the huge and personal gap.

This gap is bound to lead to unquenchable dissatisfaction, and through this series of public trials, Lux unscrupulously provoked this dissatisfaction, ignited it into a fire, and burned blazingly in the northern border.

Of course, Lux wasn't just an arsonist.

While igniting the fire, Lux also gave her own method.

Fossbarrow's propaganda machine was fully activated, and the expanded sequence of clerks began to establish a household registration system in Mithral City, while telling their own experiences.

Lux wants to prove with facts that she will give everyone a promotion rank!
Of course, if someone else came, even if the clerk came forward to say something, the civilians might not buy it.

Who knows if you are in collusion?
At this time, Fossbarrow's immigration advantages are reflected.

There are quite a few clerks in Fossbarrow who used to be from Mithril City!

You don’t have to believe what other people say, but I was also a resident of Mythral City in the past, don’t you believe it?
In addition, don't forget, when the Freljord invaded south and Sejuani flooded Mithral City, who saved Mithral City!

Even today, there are still many residents of Mithral City remembering the fall of the Colossus of Justice from the sky, remembering the brilliance that seemed to reach the sky and the earth on that day!

In order to win Mithril City, Lux can be said to have made sufficient preparations.

The level of advancement is ready, and the real case is in front of us. First, clean up the most heinous people to show our sincerity. In addition, Earl Laxana is still the savior of Mihril City, and even the Second Army of the North is on her side. !
After initial confusion and disbelief, the residents of Mithral quickly accepted Lux's new order.

On this basis, after 15 years of careful training of clerks by Lacus, they finally demonstrated the superiority of their civil service system.

Compared with the tax contractors and aristocratic offshoots in Demacia, these clerks who are burdened with assessment requirements are much more efficient and capable than others.

The clerks who came to Mithril City are all excellent clerks as the core team. Their main members have faced several large-scale immigration waves in Fossbarrow, and they are very good at establishing order and stabilizing the grassroots.

After arriving in Mithral City, these clerks, with the cooperation of Mithral City's local clerks and the guidance of Lacus, quickly found a more suitable work idea for Mithral City.

In the countryside, their main task is to clarify the property and set up boundary markers.

Doing so, however, requires prestige.

So where does the prestige come from?

On this issue, they drew heavily on Lux's work experience at Forsbarrow.

Relying on our own organizational advantages, engage in large-scale projects!
After obtaining permission, the clerk team promised and undertook the restoration of the water conservancy project around Mithral City-yes, although the Battle of Mithral City has passed ten years, the water conservancy project destroyed by the Freljord barbarians The project has not yet been completely repaired.

Small-scale repairs in villages and towns can be done by themselves, but once the scale of the project expands, it will be extremely difficult without a leader.

Even the current level of repairs is largely due to Pete and Augsa after returning to their hometowns. For the nobles of the crown guard branch, it is almost impossible for them to organize the repair of water conservancy projects.

Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but it will also delay the annexation of the land, what a fool!

But now, the team of clerks who went to the countryside acted as arbitrators to clarify the land property, and on the other hand, they promised a lot of water conservancy construction work on behalf of Lacus, and even signed a contract in duplicate with local respected people, which described the water conservancy facilities in detail. The work to be undertaken by both parties during construction.

Hey guys, when did the locals see this?

If an outsider comes, say that you need to clarify the property and establish rules, even if you are Her Majesty Laxana's people, the villagers around Mithral City will not be willing to accept it—yes, Lord Laxana did save Mithral City , everyone respects her very much, but you are not her, and we will still be dissatisfied if you come to draw up the land.

But you said that you will repair the water conservancy facilities, and you will sign a contract with me, as well as the authorization of Your Excellency Laksanna, and you can even return some of the land that was occupied by the nobles in the past, and you may even reduce taxes in the future...

Even if there is a part of painting cakes, everyone is still willing to try it!

Under multiple guarantees, the farmland clarification work and the agricultural population registration work have finally gradually entered the right track.

A large number of specially processed stones engraved with simple magic power circuits were erected at the boundary points of the land as boundary markers; each piece of land deed was also stamped with a seal with magic power circuits, and was officially archived in quadruplicate ...

The organizational advantages of Fossbarrow's work model were brought into full play at this moment, with clerks as the main force, and if necessary, royalists and northern walkers were brought in for professional cooperation. For the first time, the rule of Mithril City penetrated into the fields.

Although compared with Fossbarrow, the order of Mithral City is not specific enough under the village, but the situation between the two is different after all. It has been the king of Demacia's wish to achieve this in the past hundreds of years. I can't even think of things.

........................

The nobles of Demacia don't understand Fossbarrow's social model.

In Demacia, there has never been a city that has risen due to international trade in the past. Coupled with the name of Lux’s aristocratic model, even if someone vaguely feels that something is wrong, they can’t tell clearly after all. For the sake of money, it’s okay. up.

However, as long as they are not stupid, they will know exactly where Fossbarrow's key is after the trial in Miril City.

What the hell, the aristocratic model's ass doesn't sit on the nobleman's side!

As a result, as the news that a large number of nobles in Mithral City were accused, arrested, and even tried without dignity spread uncontrollably, this matter quickly caused an uproar.

Lux, from a noble model, suddenly became a scum and a scum, and the nimble noble chose to block the news at the first time.

But unfortunately, it was too late.

Through various industry associations, the deadly news spread throughout the entire northern border as if overnight, and it was spread with nose and eyes.

blockade?

Come on, the nobles everywhere don't get as much news as the civilians. At this time, there is a hammer for the blockade?

The dumbfounded northern nobles watched helplessly as the eldest sister they had chosen as the leader suddenly turned into a traitor, and couldn't come up with any effective strategies for a while.

In theory, as nobles, they should immediately turn to the royal family, contact Jarvan IV immediately, and ask the heavenly soldiers to go north.

But the problem is, now the Northern Territory already has its own business model. If you choose to invest in the royal family at this time, even if the rebels are wiped out, how will everyone live in the future?

Everyone knows what life the northern nobles lived before Lux came!

Under such circumstances, some nobles who inquired about the situation in Miyin City, or learned about Lux's actions from the mouths of some "young talents" who returned safely, after careful consideration, found that they followed the After Lux's logic didn't seem to need to be judged, her mind gradually became more subtle.

Or... talk about it?
They didn't even need to take the initiative. After being screened by the intelligence team, the nobles on a secret list were visited by representatives of the local prestigious trade associations.

And the name of this list is called [Main Unity Objects of the Northern United Front].

　Take off take off!
