Transcendent Noble

The law safeguards fairness and justice.

Whose is fair? Whose justice?

In the eyes of the displaced workers, Kali resorted to fraudulent means to obtain credit for Severin's papermaking, and also pushed Severin into the straw pulp pond, which was a crime deserving ten thousand deaths. As for Kali didn't intentionally hurt him and tried to save Severin's life, the migrant workers would not care. Because Kali not only lied to Severin, but also lied to them.

In the eyes of the merchants, Kali’s behavior was reasonable and reasonable. The lord said he wanted to make paper, and Kali paid for the money. The lord said he wanted to protect the water source. Kali built a paper-making workshop at the mouth of the Silver Moon River. I squatted for more than half a year, but the lord did not say that he could not learn from other people's ideas. Kali proposed 8 copper sols for renting paper mills. He was just following the rules of merchants and caravans, "let the buyer beware" (note), can trifling 8 copper sols to rent the paper mills? People who don't have much brains deserve to be fooled! Besides, Severin didn't do anything. The papermaking success had nothing to do with him. Cali not only gave Severin 200 Kinsoul, but he was also going to negotiate with Wright and Tunan. He was already a creditable businessman. As for Severin's nearly innocent death, the merchants turned a blind eye.

Public speaking is public and reasonable, mother-in-law says mother-in-law is reasonable. According to the rules of the refugees, the homicide case is supervised by the church and the justice of the peace is judged, but if the church ignores it, the justice dare not pronounce the sentence. The village chief led by Randal did not have the power to enforce the law. The two parties involved interceded with others, and the church secretly contributed to the situation. The incident finally became uncontrollable, and Munk had to hand the case to the table of the lord.

At this time, the head of the village George showed his true colors. Regardless of the fact that he usually fights with the Sid family, the villagers are very angry. He must maintain the authority of the village head and decisively abandon the Sid family. The paper-making reward should be given to Robert's family.

The merchants took out a lot of money to bribe the police station, but Munk did not want the Rand family to have too many vassals, which would weaken the power of the police station. So he suggested that the lord withdraw the two papermaking rewards.

The hiring of Legion is the painstaking effort of the war bear mercenaries. Corps Head Nelson clearly supports his soldiers and believes that Marcy is not guilty of murder.

Linda’s life is now prosperous and stable, with territories, knighthoods, and children, and her husband is shirtless. She wants to leave a way out for the family. State the facts objectively and expose the husband’s old bottom, without expressing any opinions.

Lilia, as the Chief Manager of the family, was reluctant to bear the wealth and connections of the merchants, and did not want to neglect the members of the war bear, so she played an emotional card and admitted that Marcy was guilty, but asked her husband to forgive her.

The wild boar was the most wronged one. He saved others and was killed. If Miller hadn't helped him, he would have died. But no one held justice for him, because he was a fool who even prayed that he would not.

One hundred justice for one hundred people, one thousand justice for one thousand people, but in Randal, only Victor's fairness and justice are led.

This case is a conflict between two families on the surface, but in essence it reflects the contradiction between the vassal system and the lease-employment system.

The advantage of the vassal system is that it reduces the administrative cost and military cost of the monarch. It can increase the influence of the monarch by dividing the land and the title. For example, the king canonize and develop the Knight as the lord, what is the king? Without doing it, the kingdom's territory expanded.

However, Feng Jun will not be efficient if he wants to save trouble. The vassals were made into a solidified class, hereditary positions, and narrow channels for leading the people to rise. If RAND takes the Feudal System, there will be no impossible to reach the current scale in several decades. Victor has alchemy militias and Golden Dragon lizards. He gave up Knight entrustment and embarked on the road of centralization.

The rent-and-employment system is a centralized system under the cloak of vassal system. There are still vassals, leaders and free citizens. But Victor separates military power, political power, and legal power, breaks hereditary post, cultivates talents, and promotes talents. Fiefdom becomes a mere land lease. Officials who slack off will be replaced by others, and they can only go home to work in agriculture.

The rental employment system is full of vitality due to fierce competition, and its upward path is open to everyone, but everyone does not know it!

The influx of refugees into Randal only thinks that by marrying a wife and having children, they can build a house and enter a household, build a house and enter a household, and become a leader, and a leader can become a steward and a soldier. Lord vassal. In the concept of the refugees, the lord’s vassals will never be too many. If they miss this opportunity, they will regret their lives forever.

The vassal system has been implemented for thousands of years, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It has shown great inertia in the Lander.

Work-point system families first began to group together. They sent their children to Silvermoon Manor to serve as attendants, either marrying the house maids trained by Alina, or marrying each other, so as to achieve the purpose of monopolizing resources and consolidating their own status. Even if the little attendant cannot inherit the duties of his parents, he can still become a steward or a Hundred-men Commander.

There is no other way. Victor cannot allow other forces to infiltrate the backbone members of the Randal Family. Therefore, he plans to terminate the construction of the house and enter the household. The future backbone of the family must marry the indoor maid trained by Silvermoon Manor, otherwise he would never want to hold an important position.

The public interpreted this signal as: Lord Lord limited the quota of the last batch of vassals. They ignored the two roads of militia promotion and learning promotion, and they only wanted to squeeze on the last train to build houses and enter their homes.

The bachelor is busy buying a wife and child, and the refugee family wants to please the referrer. The merchant family suddenly rounded up the quota for building a house, and the contradiction between the two parties broke out in an instant. Although the Roberts look down upon the refugee families and bachelors at all, as long as they fight with the merchants, they will get everyone's support.

No matter how high the administrative efficiency of the rental employment system is, it is impossible to change a person's behavior in a short period of time. The rapid development of Randal and the population explosion have brought many factors of instability.

Businesses, hired families, and bachelors still follow the rules of survival of the refugee class. They are used to fighting, just like that Marcy, who has already built a house, but she doesn’t ask anything but indiscriminately. Two people, very ruthless, ruthless, leaving no room. She firmly believes that Kali will kill a witness to silence them for the sake of her vassal status, because she will definitely do it herself.

Kali is a standard freedmen merchant consciousness, and Marcy is a typical refugee leader consciousness.

For thousands of years, the ideology and legal system formed by the vassal system have continued to affect everyone in Randal, while the economic foundation of the rental and employment system is being built, and the superstructure is still far away.

If Victor leaves the case unchecked, the bloody conflict will intensify, and the end result will be the vassal system to replace the fragile rental employment system.

Victor couldn't accept such a failure. He wanted to include merchants, craftsmen, refugee families, and bachelor Han. Nicole's judgment was impartial and balanced, and it was in Victor's interest.

The victim? Who is the victim? Is the victim important to the lord?

Of course, the inertia problem of vassalism has not been resolved. Victor has opened up two hundred additional housing quotas, which can temporarily alleviate the contradiction. He needs time to build the superstructure of the Randal Family, especially the laws and regulations.

On this point, no one can help Victor yet. He must handle many typical cases personally and formulate relevant policies and regulations.

For example, Randal led the bloody conflict overwhelming majority in the past two years, all related to women. Bachelor hired workers save money to buy a wife and child, but some women go to Randal to take the initiative to invest in leading families and hired families. It is normal for refugees to separate and combine men and women. Refugee women are accustomed to pursuing higher-status partners, but the promotion of bachelor employees is almost cut off. They dare not challenge the families who build houses, and they inevitably draw swords against the families of employees.

After several murderers were hanged by the police, Victor promptly promulgated the Marriage Law of Refugees: Refugees’ marriages are protected; husbands are not allowed to abuse their wives and adopted children, otherwise they will be flogged and the marriage will be dissolved automatically; The remarried woman must pay 20 Kinsols to compensate her spouse.

After the marriage decree was promulgated, the bloody and violent conflicts led by Randal have been significantly reduced. The bachelor men who are going to leave behind will stay and continue to work, and the wages they saved will naturally stay in Randal.

The law is just a fence. If the fence is not well tied, your own sheep will go to someone else's house.

Victor didn't expect that he was busy arranging the fence, and the Pope’s crown would actually provoke the commotion of the sheep.

He thought for a long time, and said in deep thought: "My dear, Lord of Radiance is a real Spiritual God. How can I weaken the faith of the refugees in him? On the contrary, I encourage the people to worship and open public carriages. , Donated a lot of supplies to the church, planted kidney beans, paid to organize a medical team to assist the priest in carrying out the teaching affairs... Is there any misunderstanding of me under the crown of the Pope?"

"What you say, believe in yourself Is it?"

Sylvia gave Victor a sideways glance, and said indifferently: "You even care about the rubbish ass, and you don't allow the Pope to lose his temper?"

Victor is displeased Said: "The secular belongs to the secular, and the divine right belongs to the divine right."

"Yes. So the church has retreated, and they are now focusing on doing academic affairs, such as reminding believers to stay away from danger and not to act as Viscount Randal Exploit the victims of Southern Continent... They just have to say, mercenaries are not blessed by holy light, what can you do?"

If you control the refugees, I don’t care. Five, nothing wrong... Victor was silent, leaning back in his chair dejectedly.

Sylvia said softly: "My dear, the secular and theocracy are not entirely different. The refugees have always been a buffer between the lord and the church. The lord is used to managing the refugees with the refugees, and you and Nicole’s men directly control each one. Refugees hired workers to arrange their food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Now, the buffer is gone. Of course, the secular and theocracy will collide. If you go further, the church has to take a step back. How could Clement not respond?"

"You won’t be true People think that theocracy is just faith, right?" Sylvia asked slightly amused.

Victor suddenly realized, and shook his head with a wry smile, "The church has the strongest army and taxation power...I am too naive."

"Even if it is faith, you also moved the church. Cheese!" Sylvia said: "I noticed a confession. Clement asked Severin if he wanted to participate in morning and evening prayers. Severin refused. A child of an outcast refused to participate in holy light prayer? What does Clement think? He must be sure now. Is your policy of converting the refugees temporary or will it continue? My dear, although the vassals have faith, there are not many devout followers."

"But, Bishop Pierot knows our situation. We converted the refugees and recruited mercenaries. He did not object. Pierot is the dísciple of the Pope. Why is the Pope embarrassing Victor now?" Nicole said unconvinced.

"Nicole, if you can ask this question, it shows that you are becoming more and more like a lord." Sylvia nodded with relief, and asked Victor instead: "What do you say?"

Victor's heart moved, muttered: "Bishop Pierot is Clement's confidant, Randal led the matter, the Pope Impossible did not know. Pierot supported me, I am afraid I was also instructed by the Pope. However, bishop is bishop, and the pope is religious. Zong, the status of the two is different, and the structure is different... I understand that the pope wants to support me and also give the church an explanation. So, he waited for me to give him an explanation."

"hehe , My dear, Viscount Randal is not enough to attract the pope's attention." Sylvia covered her mouth and said with a lovable smile: "Clement is waiting for me. As long as I do a mass in front of the pope, your problem is not a problem. "

"The Pope wants to ally with you?!" Victor asked in shock: "Why?!"

"It's still because of you."

Sylvia Explained: "The church is divided into Three Great Influences, Radiance Knight Group, Cardinal House, and Monastery Elder Group. Clement is the most outstanding bishop leader in the past three hundred years. He clearly proposed to eliminate the civil war and expand outward. Radiance Knight The regiment and the Elder regimen thought this was empty talk, but the new farming in Centaur Hills gave everyone hope. Clement used Barbarian diplomacy to resolve the contradiction between the three southern kingdoms and the Sasan Empire, change the existing diplomatic structure, and expand into the world. The consensus of the kingdom. However, Clement is about to face internal turbulence."

"Clement is an appealer for outward development. Once the development is successful, his power and prestige will reach Peak, even if the Cardinals can’t take it. Returning to the dominance of the Templars, they can also take the opportunity to expand the temple warrior and fight against the Radiance Knight regiment. Therefore, the Radiance Knight regiment must first defeat Clement. What's worse is that the Cardinals are not monolithic inside, the Radiance Knight regiment and the Radiance Knight regiment. The Elder regiment has its own agents in the Cardinal. Clement must first suppress the voices inside the Cardinal..."

Sylvia pursed her red lips and said proudly: "hmph! Since the glorious history, No Spiritual Go yet d Knight has celebrated Mass. If Clement can hold a holy light blessing for me, who would dare not accept him in the Cardinal? "

Victor eyes shined, holding onto Sylvia's delicate hand, he smiled and said, "I must convince you first?" "

"It's not that simple. Sylvia glanced at her lover, withdrew the jade hand, remaining calm and composed while handling pressing affairs, said: "We have differences. "

"When the ant plague broke out, the Augustus family recruited 8,000 militiamen among the refugees and promoted their families to leaders. But these refugees were tenants and slaves of vassals for several generations, and Augustus could completely regard them as leaders. "

Sylvia took a sip of coffee and said softly: "You and Nicole are both new lords. There are not enough vassals under your command. The church is beyond blame for promoting deacon and soldiers from the refugees." The question is, are you a stopgap measure, or are you going to continue? She put down the coffee cup and said, "Looking at what you are now, it must be continued." So, what is the purpose of your insistence? "

"I need continuously soldiers. "Victor admitted generously: "It is indeed very expensive to raise a Legion to hire, but I have a tax policy. Randal has a population of 300,000 breakthroughs. I can form 5 Legions and 1 million breakthroughs. I own 12 Legions. If one soldier dies, I will add another soldier. They had land if they died in battle. Even if they sealed 10 acres of terraced fields, they were considered vassals. The church has no right to sanction me. "

"Are you determined to use soldiers as consumables?" "Sylvia pupil shrink, raised his eyebrows and asked.

Victor was silent for a moment, nodded, said with a faint smile: "The mercy does not hold the soldiers. Honey, are you worried? "

"Worried? Do not! My vassal soldiers will be very happy. Sylvia chuckled lightly and said with blazing eyes: "But you must prove that hiring Legion is not collapsed on the first encounter. It can open up territory. Only in this way, I am willing to emulate the Randal Family and recruit refugees to hire Legion. "

Nicole frowned and asked, "Madam...then, what if the pope prohibits the refugees from joining the Randal hiring Legion?" "

Sylvia smiled: "If Victor can prove that his method is useful for pioneering, the York family will follow suit, and Clement will have the capital to form an alliance with me. Before that..."

"Victor, you can do whatever you want. Clement will never embarrass the Randal Family, maybe... he will also provide you with some help. "
