First Wizarding World War

Chapter 556 Peace Conference

Charlotte's deeds of cleaning up Strasbourg soon spread throughout the Old World.

His methods of dealing with Axel and others were still routine, but his treatment of the nobles who rebelled against his vassal states opened the eyes of monarchs of various countries. Almost everyone was interested in the indulgence invented by Charlotte.

Whether it was Ingrima, Byron, or the emperor of the Lionheart Dynasty, they all had the strange thought of "Why is there no rebellion here?"

Almost every monarch in the Old World envied the Emperor of Brittany for being able to clean up the noble territories.

You know, the taxes of the noble territories are almost all given to the nobles of the fiefdom, and the emperor can hardly collect taxes. In addition, he has to give the nobles annuities and raise knights for the nobles. For all the monarchs of the Old World countries, the nobles in the territory are expected to be as few as possible, and it is also best if they are all nominal nobles. Without territory, they cannot levy taxes privately.

The most rare thing about Charlotte is not that she dealt with a large number of nobles, but that she dealt with so many nobles without causing the nobles' disgust.

The Axel family was almost all grateful to Charlotte. After all, according to the "law", they should have been sent to the gallows, and it was Charlotte who exonerated them. The nobles who bought indulgences were even more grateful, because by buying indulgences, they could stay in Fars and not be exiled to the Argeles Sea Islands.

Almost all the nobles who were not implicated benefited from this turmoil. Those nobles who spoke for Axel seemed to have gained a wave of reputation. Even those nobles who did nothing also picked up a lot of bargains in the process of implicating the rebellious nobles to sell their property, land and titles.

Being able to deal with the rebellion easily and easily, and to strive for the greatest interests for the empire, and to not offend any party...

Compared to these performances, it is not surprising to quell the rebellion in one month.

Even quelling the rebellion in one month, in this Axel restoration event, can only give the old emperor worrying about the rebellion, generously marrying Princess Anne, and Charlotte bursting out with infinite wisdom in order to win the beauty...background.

Love wins, war becomes insignificant.

Charlotte's reputation once spread across the Old World.

Even the fifteenth Red Dragon Emperor of Ingrimar, His Majesty Alfred Guillaume, sent a document hoping that the other three empires would send envoys to negotiate in Mecklenburg.

After Charlotte dealt with the rebellion in Strasbourg, she kept Anne.

Anne de Bretagne is the legitimate princess of the Fars Empire.

When her father and brother are away, it is legitimate to personally supervise the country.

Charlotte also kept Mother Karen, Claire de Bretagne and Abner Sumei to assist Anne in handling government affairs, and brought Andreas back to Arcadia Port.

During this period, Charlotte paid close attention to the movements of the New World Congress, worried that they would suddenly raid their fleet. But the New World Congress was very quiet during this period. Although they knew that Charlotte was making trouble in Strasbourg, they did not start a war. Charlotte returned to Arcadia Port and invited Romios to come to the Holy Light Kingdom for a meeting.

Romios agreed happily because he was confident of his military power. When he arrived on the Holy Light Kingdom, he saw the Great Lingmo in various postures. Although he was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but say: "It is said that the Holy Light Kingdom is a paradise! Today, I saw that it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Charlotte thought: "Your family is the paradise! Your whole family is the paradise."

"Have you ever seen a paradise with so many evil gods?"

However, he invited Romios to come because he had something to discuss, and he would not turn against each other for such a small matter. He took Romios for a tour on the Holy Light Kingdom. Whenever he introduced a certain entertainment project, Romios couldn't help but admire it. He was in crisis everywhere in the New World. In addition to survival, it was survival. Where was there time for entertainment?

And where was there the mood for entertainment?

This is not Romios's problem, but the problem of the entire New World.

After a tour on the Holy Light Kingdom, Charlotte took Romios to a small reception room with floor-to-ceiling windows, where he could step into the mirror world at any time and summon Ishmeron at any time. He was not afraid of Romios's sudden attack, but he seemed quite sincere and selfless.

Romios saw that Charlotte dared to talk to him alone, and he really admired Charlotte's courage. He took out two tobaccos, handed one to Charlotte, and said, "This is a specialty of the New World. Put it in your mouth and chew it, and there will be a faint sweet taste."

Charlotte was very surprised. He had never seen tobacco since he came here. There were no cigarettes, no pipes, and no cigars in the Old World. He always thought that it was good enough to have tea and coffee in this world, and it could not be forced. Unexpectedly, he saw tobacco here in Romios.

He did not chew the thing in his mouth, but urged the star fighting spirit to roll the tobacco into a rough stick, flicked out a little spark, lit it, and then took a puff. It was indeed the same taste.

Romeos was very curious and rolled the tobacco, lit it with his supernatural power, took a puff, and immediately coughed, but this experience was indeed unprecedented.

Charlotte took a small box from the magic mirror to flick the ash, and said: "His Majesty Brittany may end the war at any time, and I will soon have a powerful helper from Fars, but I suddenly feel that Mr. Romeos is a wise man, and we can solve the problem in a peaceful way."

"War may not necessarily be necessary."

"South Seraf is my territory, there is no doubt about that."

"Mr. Romios, can you represent the New World Conference? If so, I hope we can reach a preliminary plan today."

Romios imitated Charlotte, took a deep puff of tobacco, and slowly exhaled. It was indeed interesting. He said: "We attacked Mecklen Territory, which was indeed wrong first, and we are willing to apologize for it. But we have more than one million immigrants in the New World, and we really need a place to settle down."

"Mr. Charlotte, what do you think can satisfy both parties?"

Charlotte smiled and said: "I originally thought that there was no way to I am not willing to compromise, but I recently dealt with the rebellion in Strasbourg, and suddenly came up with a plan that everyone might accept. "

"First of all, the Territory of South Seraf is my land, and it is also my first fief in Fars. I will never give it to anyone."

"But if the New World Congress wants to stay in South Seraf, I can turn South Seraf into an autonomous territory, and the New World Congress will govern it by itself, but they must regard me as the lord. However, I can't lose a directly governed region in vain. Since you have left the New World, you can exchange the land of the New World. "

After careful consideration, Romeos actually felt that this condition was acceptable.

Both sides actually don't want war, but the New World immigrants need a piece of land and there is no possibility of retreat.

Charlotte proposed to change South Seraf into an autonomous territory, allowing the New World Congress to be autonomous, and only nominal sovereignty is required, which is an acceptable solution.

Romeos pondered for a long time and asked, "I wonder how the Duke of Mecklen plans to collect taxes?"

The burden of the autonomous region depends entirely on taxation. The officials sent by the Old World to the New World were too heavy in taxation, which led to the general resistance of the New World to the Old World. Many overseas territories have large-scale anti-tax activities, and some places have even directly overthrown the rule of the Old World.

Romeos is naturally very concerned about the issue of taxation, and he can't give in on this.

Charlotte said indifferently: "My Duke of Mecklen never collects taxes, and I will not collect taxes on the South Seraf Free Zone, but I also require that the Free Zone shall not collect taxes on any merchants, farmers, craftsmen, cultural personnel, and artists in the Duke of Mecklen."

Romeos was overjoyed at first, but at the same time he couldn't understand it. Of course, he hoped that Charlotte would not collect taxes, but he couldn't understand, where would the money come from to govern the place without taxes?

Charlotte is from Earth, and of course she knows that if there is no taxation, many multinational companies on Earth will not know how much money they will make. She has never governed the jurisdiction as a country, city, or region. Because the biggest problem of the government is that it does not produce and cannot generate profits. Of course, if the government can do business, it will be a terrible thing. Charlotte manages every city she has occupied by managing the company.

Charlotte also cut off most government agencies. He does not need to collect taxes, so he does not need to support tax collectors. He does not need administration, local security, courts, general offices, cultural etiquette education, and even diplomacy. These are all handled by the Knights of Favonius, resulting in extremely low administrative expenses.

He has his own caravan, large tracts of land, countless shops, fleets, and a large number of laborers paid by the government...

Such a huge "company" has no government taxation!

All the gains are not enough to describe the huge profits.

Romeos stood up and said, "I need to go back and call the Speaker and members of the New World Congress to discuss this matter."

Charlotte smiled and said, "I can wait patiently. If the New World Congress does not want to continue the war, I suggest you organize a negotiation team. We will imagine peace on the Holy Light God Kingdom. I will cover all the meeting expenses."

Romios thought carefully about everything he saw on the Holy Light God Kingdom. He knew that Charlotte was going to use these entertainments to "corrupt" the immigrants in the New World, but he didn't care. This could also reduce some of the resistance to negotiations.

After Romeos returned to Arcadia Port, he organized a negotiation team of more than 20 people in just three days. The two sides held a full 27 rounds of meetings on the Holy Light God Kingdom...

Charlotte obtained the nominal ownership of most of the 27 regions in the New World!
