Chapter 865

What?

George blinked, doubting his ears for a moment.

He looked at the Earl of Three Rivers beside him, and found that the other party also looked blank - for a moment, all the nobles had expressions similar to Guy's. It was supposed to be an explosive news, but no one in the hall responded.

This...is not what was planned!

Could it be that Earl Delta has already been persuaded by Roland Wimbledon in advance?

He moved his eyes to the lord of Chishui City, but the answer he got was whether or not—the earl's reaction was not much calmer than theirs, and he also widened his eyes, looking at the new king in disbelief. Obviously, when he arranged this dinner and invited everyone over, he didn't know that the new king would do this.

For Delta, the trip to Lakeside was just a customary banquet.

Others also attended the banquet as usual.

This is just Roland's unilateral action!

Is he crazy?

"I think many of you already know that the enfeoffment system seriously hinders the flow and differentiation of personnel, thus restricting the development of productivity. Considering that Graycastle... and even all mankind will fall into a big crisis, I have to do something Make a difficult decision, that is to reclaim all land and power, so that the people of Graycastle can act with the same will."

Personnel differentiation? productive forces? Big crisis? George swallowed, what the hell is this guy talking about? Who would know these things!

However, the new king didn't seem to care about their thoughts, and continued as if no one else was there, "As far as the present is concerned, this decision is correct and necessary. The western and northern borders of Graycastle are both successful examples. The disappearance did not cause the local area to lose order, but it became more orderly. The unified government decree, planning and deployment have gradually transformed the productivity from small family-inherited workshop production to large factory production. At the same time, a lot of wealth has been born. Those who actively participate in it It is an undeniable fact that the people who have benefited from it have benefited a lot, and I think you can all see the results."

"I said this not to uproot the group of nobles, but to tell you that without fiefs and titles does not mean that you have nothing. Under the new system, you can get more opportunities—just like a cake, if it It’s only as big as a palm, and even if you swallow it all, it’s only enough to satisfy your hunger. But if you can make it the size of a table, even if you only eat a corner, you can still be satisfied. Since the change is beneficial to both parties, it is not enough to promote it in an all-round way. It's an incomprehensible thing...Many of you have already known about this, right?"

It is true that many nobles are aware of your reason for coming, but they did not expect you to be so impatient. George's thoughts turned sharply. After the initial surprise passed, he gradually calmed down, and unexpectedly found that this unplanned change was not a bad thing, on the contrary, it was very beneficial to him!

With so many nobles present, it was almost impossible to reach a consensus. On the contrary, the conflict was aroused in advance, which also saved him the effort of building momentum after taking down the castle. After all, compared to persuading the lord of Chishui City to act again, this move is too direct, and it is even easy to push those who would have turned to Earl Delta to his side.

Sure enough, after the nobles came back to their senses, someone already said, "Your Majesty... I don't know much about the specific situation in the Northwest and Northwest. Can I give you an answer after thinking about it for a few days?"

"Yeah, this kind of thing is too important. I have several relatives, so I can't make the decision by myself."

"Your Majesty, can you guarantee that each of us will get more wealth?"

"If the reform fails, we don't have a fief, doesn't it mean that the original cake is lost?"

"Your policy is definitely a wise move, but... I'm not for business, Your Majesty!"

That's right, that's it, George secretly rejoiced in his heart, the more doubters, the more he can reflect his foresight, and if the new king can't make a final decision, he will only fall into a dilemma!

I saw that Roland still maintained his original expression, and after waiting for everyone to chatter, he raised his hand and suppressed the noisy discussion, "You seem to have made a mistake, what I said is not a suggestion, but a suggestion. It's the king's order—do you treat it as a commodity on a container and bargain here?" The peace in his tone faded, replaced by a cold chill, "I don't even need your promises, Who will stand on the carriage of the times and go forward with me, and who will become a stubborn stone blocking the wheels and be crushed into powder, I know clearly."

"How...how did you know?" Earl Delta asked in surprise.

The smile on Roland's face grew wider, "Because I can read people's hearts."

"What did you say?"

"Doubt is a normal reaction when faced with something beyond the scope of understanding," Roland turned and gestured to Edith, "In that case, let me demonstrate it to you."

Pearl of the North nodded, and smiled at the nobles, "Your Majesty's ability is easy to prove, as long as you repeat what I said, you will immediately understand that no lie can be hidden under the mind-watching technique——Wimbledon The reason why Mai can become the ruler of Graycastle is precisely because he has mastered this ability. But I have to say something first, if you don't repeat it, it can only be treated as a crushed stone. "

Farce, this is simply a farce! George Nari sneered in his heart, there is no way to observe the mind, if it is said by a witch, it will be more credible. However, he still wears the God's Stone of Retaliation in his arms, so he is not afraid of being bewitched by the power of demons at all.

Although he really wanted to call on everyone to boycott this farce, he found that few nobles in the crowd expressed opposition. From the expressions of everyone, it can be seen that it is not that many people believe this statement, but that there is a way to try it. It's okay to wait for Edith to speak. I don't know if they want to see the new king's jokes, or if they don't want to completely offend each other here.

Edith raised her lips, "Please listen carefully, the first sentence is - I fully agree with His Majesty Roland's new policy, and I am willing to actively cooperate with the officials sent by Neverwinter."

The nobles read it casually, and some of them couldn't help but chuckle, obviously thinking that this move was quite funny.

"No one is telling the truth," Roland quickly answered, "Although it's a bit regrettable, it's normal. If it were me, it might not be so easy to convince a king who has been staying in the border area of ​​​​Greycastle all year round." .please continue."

Wait...something is wrong, George frowned, will any king accept this calmly? He himself is the lord of Panshiling, even though he knows that not every citizen obeys him from the bottom of his heart, he still doesn't want to hear the other party say that with his own ears. Shouldn't you be embarrassed and annoyed at times like this? Why is Roland Wimbledon so calm?

"The second sentence - although I don't understand what His Majesty wants to do, the right to enfeoffment is not a must. As long as those opportunities to expand wealth do exist, I am willing to give it a try." Edith nodded her lips , said with high spirits, "Come on, please be sure to explain clearly every single word!"
