European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 193

"Are you kidding me? Is there any justice in taking our fief like this?"

"Tama, do you still have the principality's laws in your eyes?"

"I knew I shouldn't have surrendered in the first place. I would rather die in battle than suffer this humiliation."

Li Peijun pointed at the loudest guy inside and scolded: "Are you very dissatisfied with the current punishment? Maybe Harfleur is not the place you should be. Do you yearn for heaven? I can help you pray to God. Get a seat, and if you agree, you can hit the road now."

After finishing speaking, he set up his bow and rewound it, and calmly aimed at the target. The hands and feet of the captured nobles were tied together backwards, and they couldn't run a few steps away at all, and there was only one dead end.

The man had already been frightened to the spot, his eyes full of fear, and Li Peijun threatened again: "Hurry up, I'm still waiting for you to nod, God doesn't like people who are grumpy."

"No, no, I obey the judgment." Seeing that the situation was not good, the man had no choice but to give in. Li Peijun glanced at the others from the corner of his eye, and the objections were no longer as they were before, except for sporadic whispers. , it seems that the other party has succumbed to his might.

"It seems that you all have no objection to the verdict. I will say the same thing. The door of Hafleur is always open to you. If you can accept Hafleur's ideas and obey the transformation, the work of the city hall will be empty. If you are stubborn If it doesn’t work, then I will be demoted to common people, anyway, I think the common people in my consular district live a more comfortable life than you guys, at least they won’t be so downcast that they want to be thieves.”

The nobles here were humiliated again, with veins on their faces. Due to the previous lesson, no one dared to attack in person, so they had to curse secretly behind their backs. Most of them had nowhere to vent their anger. Vented to Newland.

"Nulant, you coward, you are not worthy to be my lord, and I will never swear allegiance to you in the future." One of the knights yelled at the court to sever his vassal relationship with Newland before the game was over.

"Don't talk about it, now that the manor is gone, where does the surrender come from?" Another knight who was afraid of getting into trouble reminded carefully.

The angrily knight cursed again: "I have never been so humiliated. I would rather die standing up than live in such a humiliation."

"That's right, it's a shame to say that we can't even compare with the commoners in his territory, and that this kind of scum can be compared with our noble body." A traditional knight echoed.

All the knights were taken care of separately. This is part of the carrot and stick policy. Li Peijun naturally knew that it would be extremely difficult to get the corrupt nobles to accept his ideas, so he had to divide and disintegrate this gang of stubborn forces and strive for the advanced ones. molecular.

Before that, we had to wait for the city hall to plan a suitable renovation plan. Li Peijun led his army non-stop to take over all the territories of Montivillier, and the northward depth of Hafleur was expanded by nearly 5 kilometers.

Transforming the nobility has never been a simple project. Although Montevilliers is not as grand as Caen, Li Peijun is dedicated to promoting the direct rule of non-noble lords, and the resistance he has to overcome is also huge.

"Go and serve the common people. What kind of eight-point policy is this? It only mentions things related to the interests of the common people. Then why should I be a noble or a privileged class? I'll just work as a commoner and farm." The reformed knight was the first one to read the little red book, so he couldn't help but abandon the book and cursed.

Ducasse, who was in charge, looked kind and cheerful, spread out the roster and said, "As you wish, if you sign this, you will be the commoner you dreamed of immediately."

With a dry smile, the knight pushed back the roster again and again, "Farewell, farewell, just kidding, I'll read aloud, can't I recite it?"

"To be proud of serving the common people, and to be ashamed of betraying the common people, oh my god, I really didn't expect such words to come out of my mouth."

Dukas put away the roster with a chuckle, turned and left to monitor the next nobleman.

"Were you also a nobleman before? Judging from your temperament and style of conversation, it doesn't look like what ordinary people should have." Newland didn't resist this, but found it very novel, and concentrated on studying the contents of the little red book, and then Curiously asked Dukas.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I was indeed a Viscount before. Unfortunately, I was arrested within a day of taking the throne. Now I am a member of the City Hall, mainly engaged in the transformation of noble criminals." Dukas said solemnly Answering doubts.

Newland's interest grew stronger. From his understatement, he couldn't feel any anger, but a little gratitude. In order to clear up his confusion, Newland asked again: "Don't you hate him? After all Suddenly changing from a viscount to an ordinary person, most of the nobles would not be able to accept it for a while."

Dukas shrugged and said undeniably: "In fact, this is indeed the case, Your Excellency. At the beginning, I couldn't recover from the glory of the past. When I thought of ruining the inheritance of my ancestors, I was always thinking about it. Suffering a lot, but this life still has to go on, when I cleared up my mentality, I realized that I was facing a brand new world."

"Oh? You mean that Hafleur is a brand new world for you?" Newland also felt it a little bit. Although he hadn't walked in the city, Newlandt could also detect it just by seeing and hearing. Hafleur is a city full of vigor.

Dukas nodded, "That's right, when I tried to accept Hafleur's ideas and integrate into Hafleur's system, I felt that abandoning the shackles of past glory would allow me to adapt to life more detachedly. You can't see downcast civilians here, everyone is sweating vigorously, as if there is endless work to do every day."

"In the past, I was always aloof, and even the servants didn't dare to say a few more words to me. The common people here pursue equality, and everyone can speak freely. My heart is more abundant, people will not be afraid of me because of my identity, they will only wave to me warmly, I feel that every day is a new day, in retrospect, the days in the castle before are like Waste of life."

Dukas squeezed out a strange smile playfully, "You know what? Sometimes I even hope, why doesn't this guy arrest me quickly, I wish I was born in Hafleur, so maybe I can There is greater growth."

"If there is such a heaven as the Catholics say, then I think it must be in Hafleur. Sir, I hope my remarks today can inspire you. The sooner you wake up, the more you will feel Hafleur. Leer's charm lies." Dukas leaned closer and said with emotion.

"I'll think about it carefully, thank you for your advice." Nulande engraved the contents of the little red book in his mind, and solemnly returned it to the other party.

"Oh, this damn idea, I forgot again... Stepping on a horse is going to do things for the common people, I'm going crazy." The earth-shaking changes were unacceptable, but Newlandt had already calmly fell asleep.
