The strongest captain: I have a pirate system

Chapter 129 Political situation

Faced with such a blunt questioning, Liu Peng would not be polite to others, so he stood up and said, "This is my son, you can tell from the looks, does anyone else look like this?"

"Nonsense, you have blond hair, but he has brown hair. Could he be your son?" The man frowned, and the city guards behind him immediately surrounded him.

Meow, in order to cover up his yellow features, he is now a blond-haired white man. Liu Peng almost forgot, but he continued to stiffen his neck and said, "Can't you just do it?"

"What evidence do you have to prove that this is your son?" The man pressed on step by step, "I don't know, just follow me to the city defense department!"

"Why, this is my son, I still need to prove it?" Liu Peng became angry, and directly contacted Brand at the port. If they really wanted to grab him, he would kill him. It also contained tens of thousands of gold coins, all of which were Tiago Lazia's deposit.

"Wait, wait, don't worry." Aoqi quickly played the role of a businessman, and came over with a smile to smooth things over, "Mr. Charles, this is my boss. It's the first time I come to Crimanda, and I don't understand many rules. .”

As he said that, he winked at the clerk behind him, and immediately the clerk brought a box of unknown contents from the warehouse, and Aoqi handed the box over and said, "I'm really sorry to have conflicted with you, my lord."

The nobleman named Charles weighed it twice, only opened a small gap in the box and glanced at it, and then said: "Since it is a person with status, it can prove that this is your child."

As he said that, Charles looked at Liu Peng with an unfriendly expression: "Pay attention to the Imperials (most of them have blond hair). This is Crilanda. If you don't have an ID, just stay at home obediently."

Liu Peng didn't say a word. If possible, he didn't want to cause trouble now, because his child was still behind him, at least he would choose to do it to ensure the safety of the child.

So it wasn't until Charles left that Liu Peng took Sylvia's mother and son back to the station.

"What's the origin of that dog named Charles, so arrogant?" Liu Peng saw that they had already brought presents when they came out, but he sent another box of presents because of him.

Aoqi explained: "This is after Crimanda's feats in the founding of the country, that is, the traditional old nobles, who control the government, are basically parasites lying on the credit book and sucking blood."

"He came here to search for the queen's illegitimate son?" Liu Peng asked.

Aoqi nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, it has been said in the newspaper that the king's pursuit of illegitimate children only lasted for a few days, but these nobles saw an opportunity to make a fortune, and arrested those merchant families with children to investigate repeatedly. In order to calm things down, many businessmen have paid a lot of money, even those of us who do not have school-age children have to pay some money to send them away, otherwise how can they do business when they come in and out?"

"A bunch of vampires." Liu Peng was a little annoyed, "That means, these guys will come back?"

"For sure, but not necessarily the same group of people. I just heard that there is a school-age child here. I'm afraid there will be a few more waves later." Aoqi replied.

"When this is the first time, won't those businessmen resist?" Liu Peng asked.

Aoqi looked at Liu Peng strangely: "Master, Queen Feilina didn't tell you?"

"What?" Liu Peng was even more surprised.

After confirming that Liu Peng didn't know, Aoqi told him about the changes in the political situation in Crimanda over the years.

To put it simply, the rapid development of commerce after the founding of the People's Republic of China gave birth to a large number of businessmen. For their right to speak in the court, they supported a group of small nobles, and even became nobles themselves.

The influx of these emerging nobles and merchant-born nobles into the court naturally squeezed out the rights of the traditional old nobles. After all, the cake is so big, and the more people eat, the less the amount.

Before Fei Lina came over, the merchant nobles had been in a state of being suppressed. Although they were suppressed, the merchant-born nobles had a high sense of identity among the people. After all, they were free people who rose up.

However, although the merchant aristocrats are not very talkative in the three major kingdoms, they are already in a dominant position in other small countries. For example, the Hortagus Kingdom where Liu Peng once stayed was a country dominated by merchants. On the other hand, he opened his country to do business, and he never refused to come.

As the capital of merchants continues to accumulate, they have enough ability to occupy a position, but the continued pressure from the traditional nobles makes them eager to find a banner that can resist. This is the Elsa Federation's proposal to marry the Kingdom of Nord origin.

Strategically, the Nord and Elsa Federations contain the development of the empire from the north to the south. Economically, the scope of activities of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce is reduced. With Fei Lina's status as an in-law, their cooperation can be strengthened.

However, the merchant nobles are not interested in national interests. With the participation of the Nords, the political arena of the Elsa Federation will be like a boulder falling from a calm lake.

Felina, a woman without the help of local forces, has to rely on the help of merchant nobles to maintain her status, and merchant nobles also need a royal family to give them a support point to fight for power and profit with their opponents.

However, as Griffin tracked down the illegitimate children and cracked down on commercial expansion, the prosperous development that the merchant aristocrats had expected was shattered, and they were desperate and made another risky plan-usurpation.

After listening to Aoqi's words, Liu Peng fell into deep thought, and raised his head after a while: "Why would they think of me? Don't the Nords themselves send troops?"

Aoqi shook his head in disappointment at Liu Peng's lack of political consciousness: "Master, if the Nords send troops, what will happen?"

"Is this equivalent to the Nords destroying Krilanda?" Liu Peng asked tentatively.

"Yes, and no." Aoqi said, "The Elsa Federation is a multinational coalition government. If a giant is removed by the Nords, it means that the Nords have intervened in their internal affairs, which will cause hostility from all countries. When the time comes, you will be besieged by all the countries, not to mention fighting for your own interests to survive.”

"Then what's the difference now?" Liu Peng said, "I did it and killed the king. Felina came to power, but I still gave Crimanda to the Nords."

"Of course it's different." Aoqi said, "Felina is the representative of the merchant aristocracy. At that time, there will be a confrontation between the merchant aristocrats and the traditional aristocracy. Generally speaking, the Krilandans are governing their country, and the Nords It's just a representation."

"Oh……"

"boss!"

Liu Peng understood a little bit, and the man outside the door ran over: "There is a situation, Grand Duke Trionda brought people over."
