Dragon God Battle Hymn

Chapter 460
Hearing Jing Chen's words, the noisy conference hall just now became completely silent. Everyone looked at Jing Chen nervously, even Yue Ran and Auba, who already knew some inside information Ma and Ma couldn't help but feel a little nervous, even though they knew that this autonomy movement did not involve the city of Gamma where the two were located.

But after all, this is a division of power related to the entire Gamma Province, and the two of them have no idea how Jing Chen will arrange it. After these few days of contact, the two dare not despise Jing Chen in the slightest. Especially Yueran, although she likes this future son-in-law very much, she is also a little afraid in her heart.

After all, he is different from Yue Yanran. He is the patriarch of the Elf Yue family. What he needs to consider is not only his own small family, but also the interests of the whole family. After the great elders of the Yue family flew away, the elders of the Yue family who had been obedient to Yue Ran and the power in their hands were much more stable, which also made Yue Ran more free to reform the original system of the family recently.

In fact, this is also a helpless move of Yueran, or the Yue family. On the one hand, the Yue family needs to send a large number of elites to serve in the lord's mansion. Large-scale pre-job training, so that they understand that what they have to consider in the future is not the interests of their own clan, but the interests of the entire territory.

If those important positions in the Yue family only seek benefits for their own family, it will definitely hurt the interests of other families, even Jing Chen. With Chen's methods, he wouldn't take this too much into account, so Yue Ran had to think about it.

"I think that those who come here should be the patriarchs or elders of the various families. I think you have a certain right to speak in the family you belong to. Now I am going to delegate the political and military power of the local area to your families. But this method..." At this point, Jing Chen made a long note on purpose, and unabashedly glanced at the Patriarchs sitting below.

I saw that the leaders of these various families on weekdays all stretched their necks and listened carefully, as if they were afraid that they would miss any word Jing Chen said.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a confident smile hung on Jing Chen's face. He believed that although his method was a bit harsh, these patriarchs would still agree. Moreover, Jing Chen also made two-handed preparations. Representatives of three families all came, and in some larger cities, representatives of four or five families even came. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, but Jing Chen is not afraid that these families will disagree.

"For the stability of the territory, and in order not to challenge the official authority of the empire, I will promulgate a law through the Lord's Mansion. This law belongs to the exclusive law in my territory. It is only a supplement to the imperial law, not supersede the laws of the Empire."

After Jing Chen's voice fell, many patriarchs nodded. This did not surprise them. Not only Jing Chen, but many lords with territories would issue some special decrees in their territories. These decrees The decree of the Holy Spirit Empire and the Holy Spirit Empire are executed at the same time in the territory, and the two do not conflict. It is within the expectation of these people that Jing Chen will be like this.

Jing Chen continued to say, "The next thing I want to talk about is the decentralization of power. The reason why I invite you here today is naturally to discuss the issue of the families in power in various cities."

As soon as these words were uttered, the faces of the patriarchs of the various families sitting below changed. The word "discussion" seemed to mean that the new lord had not yet decided, which patriarch would be in charge of a certain city?And with this association, these patriarchs looked at Jing Chen eagerly. Originally, these patriarchs thought that everything had been settled, and today's gathering was just to hear the lord's announcement. This also frustrated many of them who were late for various reasons.

After all, by the time they arrived, they had already missed the best time to "express". Whether it was the Yue family, the Auba family, or even the houses of the main figures working in the Lord's Mansion, the thresholds had already been trampled down. Now, they will send it again, and it is inevitable to receive it, but no one knows if it will be done, so these people put all their hopes on this moment, and it is precisely for this reason that the congratulatory gift they gave Jing Chen, Most of them are relatively "heavy".

Hearing what Jing Chen said, some people were happy, and naturally some people began to worry. Those who visited Yue's house, Auba's house, and those officials' homes earlier were naturally very disturbed. They also accepted all orders, but no one knew exactly how many good words those people had said for their family, or how many practical things they had done.

Jing Chen seemed to have not noticed the uneasiness of these people at all, as if he suddenly remembered something, slapped his head, and said with a smile, "There is one more thing, I forgot to tell the heads of the family, it is about the two aspects of taxation and local military strength. First of all, in the decree of the Lord's Mansion, no tax will be collected from individual residents, but referring to the actual amount of tax collected by each city during the Jiama Kingdom last year, the families in charge of each city need to follow the corresponding Proportionally pay the taxes and fees of these amounts to the Lord's Mansion; secondly, it is about the issue of local military training. At present, my idea is to separate the military from the government, and the two families will manage the military and administration separately. Regarding the training funds, the Lord's Mansion will still allocate funds. It has nothing to do with local finances."

This is the first time these Patriarchs have heard that Jing Chen mentioned specific policy concepts. To be honest, this is a bit different from their imagination, which is completely like the self-government method of the Crystal Song Alliance, and it is also a bit far from their expectations.In the Crystal Song Alliance, each autonomous region has a fairly high degree of autonomy. Whether it is the army or the administrative system, it is established by the locality independently, and the supreme council of the alliance only determines the general direction of the alliance.

However, Jing Chen obviously did not want to decentralize power on such a large scale, which also disappointed the patriarchs of those families with strong local strength. Even if Jingchen pays a huge amount of taxes and manages the country for Jingchen, what's more, if the military and government are separated, they will not have an army at all. From this point of view, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to eliminate the hostile families.

After talking about his thoughts, Jing Chen didn't speak immediately, he was observing, watching the expressions of these Patriarchs, Jing Chen naturally knew in his heart that now his strength is not enough to completely control the entire territory, if he doesn't give these Patriarchs the power they expected These patriarchs may not buy it, but Jing Chen is not afraid. For this situation, Jing Chen thought of it as early as when he proposed this idea, and at this moment, Jing Chen already has a way to deal with it.

After these Patriarchs discussed for a while, Jing Chen coughed lightly. Hearing this cough, these Patriarchs stopped their voices. Although they didn't want to really implement Jing Chen's idea, they still had to do it on the surface. After all, Chen is the new lord, and he is also the third prince of the Holy Spirit Empire. If he loses face in public, God knows, he will kill himself in public. You know, the prince of the empire has the power to execute civilians.

"My idea has been finished now. If you want to apply to be the head of each city's administrative or military controller, you can write down your ideas on this piece of paper, but you have to understand that although this is an opportunity for you However, if you fail to meet the corresponding requirements, all resources of your family will be completely confiscated."

At this moment, the smile on Jing Chen's face instantly subsided, and his eyes swept over the patriarchs coldly. At this moment, everyone in the field trembled. This boy is not only the new lord, but also a sixth-level master with terrifying strength, and even a sixth-level master with dozens of seventh-level enchanted puppets.

After Jing Chen's voice fell, many attendants walked into the meeting hall, and each patriarch received a blank sheet of paper, but many patriarchs did not write, especially those patriarchs of relatively powerful families. In the city, ever since they knew that Jingchen might carry out regional autonomy, these people have reached some kind of watch agreement through some means. They believe that even Jingchen cannot ignore their ideas. The forces in China can be said to be deeply rooted.

On the contrary, those patriarchs of relatively weaker families who failed to join the watch agreement quickly finished filling out their thoughts. Although the conditions Jing Chen said were a bit harsh, these patriarchs knew in their hearts that if they did not He made up his mind that once Jing Chen compromised with those families that had reached an agreement, then these relatively less powerful families would have to be annexed by the other party sooner or later. Rather than being annexed at that time, it is better to take a gamble.

Under such circumstances, Jing Chen's so-called statistical registration is also over. The attendants passed the lists of written ideas and put them on Jing Chen's table. Jing Chen picked up these lists with a smile, However, they didn't care about those Patriarchs who didn't fill in the form.

Seeing that Jingchen ignored them at all, those patriarchs who did not fill in the form were a little anxious. These people originally thought that since Jingchen wanted to promote self-government, he must have some understanding of the families in various places. Big families must be looked at differently. To their surprise, Jing Chen didn't even mention it at all, as if he treated them equally with those families whose strength was not as strong as theirs.

The nervousness of these people did not escape the eyes of Yueran and Obama. The two looked at each other, and both saw the contempt in each other's eyes. Strictly speaking, the Yue family and the Obama family were not hostile, on the contrary Yes, the two families still have a lot of business contacts. At the beginning, if the two companies were not in a relationship of advancing and retreating together to a certain extent, the two companies would have been eradicated by the Nangong family and the Star Clan.

At this moment, the two patriarchs naturally see clearly in their hearts, not to mention these local families, Jing Chen doesn't even pay attention to these two big families, and those family heads who think they are strong are really self-confident up.

However, what they don't understand is that even if Jing Chen chooses those weaker families to govern, how can he make those families that are stronger than them in the local area obey his orders? If there is a private army, the two don't believe that the private army in the hands of a small family can have the strength to compete with those powerful family private armies.
