"Is it trying to force us to dress in Florida clothes?"

"Sorry, please forgive me for not accepting it!"

"We Burros people have our own noble traditions, and we will never accept Florida's hypocritical shell! Never!"

The next moment, following the extremely fanatical rhetoric of the Burros nobleman, the entire Burros camp yelled, and almost all the Burros nobles protested against Katerina's dressing order, saying that they absolutely Will not obey such "unreasonable" orders.

Facing the resistance of the Burros nobles, Celia just looked at them with contempt, and then said coldly,

"First of all, to correct your mistake, His Majesty did not let you change into the costumes of the Kingdom of Florida. The dresses you will replace are brand new dresses designed by His Majesty himself. This kind of dress will be exclusive to the nobles of the Kingdom of Burros in the future. apparel."

"Secondly..."

"Those who don't want to change their dresses don't have to. His Majesty doesn't force it."

"However, please note that this meeting was held by His Majesty to meet the future courtiers of Burros. Those who are unwilling to change their uniforms will be regarded as voluntarily giving up their service to His Majesty!"

At this moment, upon hearing Celia's words, the nobles of Boulrose suddenly lost their temper. Many people looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering if they should continue to protest.

Although the aristocrats of Boulrose wanted to join forces to find faults during this meeting, but if it was just because of such a trivial matter as whether to change their dresses, they couldn't even see Katerina's face, it always felt like a big loss.

In the end, after some weighing, the nobles of Burrose chose to submit.

However, before giving in, some Burros people tried to drag down the Chris nobles who were watching the fun. They questioned Seria viciously, asking whether the nobles from the Knight Commander Chris camp should also change their new dresses , if the Chriss don't change into new dresses, then they won't either.

In this regard, Celia glanced at the colleagues in the Chris camp, and nodded indifferently, saying that Katerina's order was not aimed at certain groups, but issued to everyone.

After receiving this statement, the Burros people, who had completely lost their reason for finding fault, finally had no choice but to accept Katerina's order, and followed the servants to the dressing area to change into new dresses. The crowd that had been stagnant for a long time began to move slowly again.

Not long after, the crowd arrived at the dressing area and saw the new dresses they were about to change. After a brief glance, everyone realized that Celia had not lied just now. The new dresses in front of people were indeed a kind of both. A brand new gown that doesn't belong to Chris, and doesn't belong in the style of Bulrose.

Compared with the classic and cumbersome Florida dress and the original style of the Boor Ross dress, the new dress designed by Catalina looks like the early European tuxedo, full of simplicity and convenience in the industrial age.

Facing the brand-new dress in front of them, everyone did not hesitate for long, but after looking at it with a little surprise, they began to change it.However, when everyone finished changing into new dresses of the same style and was about to leave for the political hall, Celia stopped them again and conveyed Katerina's new order...... .....Require everyone to learn a new meeting etiquette before going to the political hall.

Hearing this order, the Burros nobles who had already been disturbed by the "clothes order" blew their hair again. These Burros people, who felt that they had been humiliated, angrily tried to resist Katerina's order .

However, just like before, the resistance of the Burros nobles was easily suppressed by Celia with the same reason.

It's not how powerful Celia is, but the organizer who hides in the noble camp of Burros, really doesn't want to waste the morale and energy of his camp on this insignificant matter. No matter how resistant Ross' nobles were, most of them chose to bow their heads and give in in the end.

In this way, everyone began to be asked to learn a brand new meeting etiquette, and then they learned it for more than three hours. It was not until the scorching sun was in the sky that Celia, who kept picking bones from eggs, finally accepted the etiquette officer. The replies given out affirmed people's learning outcomes.

With the development of the situation to this point, the vast majority of Burros people have lost their previous ambition to unite and fight against the "tyrannical queen". They have lost their temper, and they really don't have the heart to continue to spend it. Now they just want to hurry up Go to the Council Hall to meet Katarina.

It was precisely because of this anxiety that when everyone was blocked at the entrance of the political hall again and asked to rank in order of height, the nobles on the Burros side chose to obey without even thinking about it, until everyone was in line as required. After completing the ranking in the council hall, looking at the Chris people who suddenly appeared in front of, behind, left, and right of him, someone in Burros finally felt that something was wrong...... .

Because they had to be ranked in order of height, the Burros people and the Chris people, the two camps that were originally distinct, had completely mixed together at this time!

Don't think that this is just a matter of changing the position of the team. For the organizers of Boulrose's side, the current situation is very fatal.

You must know that with the organization of human society in the current era, even a well-trained army will lose its unity after being suddenly changed positions, let alone a group of nobles who are forced to unite.

Because they have not been trained, the organization of the nobles is extremely low, basically similar to those black societies in Katerina's previous film and television dramas. If they want to show a solidarity, what they pay attention to is a "swarming up".

But now, a large amount of "sand" has been mixed in the originally neat team, which makes it impossible for the Burrose camp to unite as a whole in an external form and put pressure on Katerina with a united atmosphere.

What's more troublesome is that since everyone has changed into uniform clothing at this time, after losing most of the personalized markers, in a short period of time, even people who were once familiar with each other will find it difficult to distinguish each other. The identity makes the organizers in the team lose control of their own team.

In this way, the unity of the Burrows aristocratic camp was broken. In the next meeting, everyone could only act as scattered individuals, unable to fight against the rule makers, and the initiative would completely fall into the into the hands of Katerina.

At this moment, I finally figured out the intention of Katerina's series of inexplicable orders before, and a certain organizer of the Burros camp hidden in the crowd felt a deep sense of powerlessness that couldn't be restrained... .........

[That woman...is she really only 16 years old? ! 】

Chapter 179 175. Centralization

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"

About a quarter of an hour later, the nobles who were led to the political hall finally stood in their respective positions under the guidance of the servants. Then, before the people could sort out their disturbed thoughts, the long bell suddenly rang People's ears rang, and at the same time as the bell rang, the ritual frame symbolizing the king also came.

"Welcome to Your Majesty the Queen—!"

Accompanied by the Xuanyi officer's singing, the solemn music sounded in the hall. At this moment, everyone looked at the door of the political hall almost at the same time. The girl with the crown and the golden cloak, surrounded by dozens of servants in Chinese clothes, walked slowly along the red carpet in the center that ran through the entire hall.

At this moment, the world seemed to be promising some kind of omen. Just as the girl’s team entered the hall, a gust of wind suddenly blew from nowhere. Immediately afterwards, the sunlight passed through the windows of the hall, turning into streaks of light. The golden tassels shone obliquely in the hall, and the originally dark hall immediately became brighter.

At the same time, a beam of light fell vertically from the skylight above the hall, and it fell right on top of the girl's head. On the red carpet, the girl seemed to be walking slowly in the glow, with a faint halo floating around her body. It sets her off like a goddess descending from the mortal world.

At this moment, looking at Her Majesty the Queen walking on the Avenue of Glory in front of them, everyone instinctively held their breath. The hall that was a bit noisy before was filled with a chilling atmosphere, except for the footsteps of the girl as she advanced, and the as if Surrounding the girl was the sound of the king's impromptu music, and no other sounds could be heard in the hall.

Facing everyone's gaze, the girl walked calmly, step by step up the steps belonging to the king, and finally sat on the throne.

"Salute to you, Your Majesty the Queen!"

Finally, when the queen returned to the throne, people gradually woke up from the golden dream. Immediately afterwards, the nobles of the Chris family mixed in the crowd resolutely bowed down to their lord, and they shouted to pay tribute Resignation, seems to want to show his loyalty.

On the other hand, when the nobles of the Chris family bowed down, the nobles of Burrose looked a little embarrassed.

According to the original plan, at this stage, they should unite and put pressure on the new king. However, the arrangement of the team at this time and the uniform uniforms that have been erased from their individuality marks make it impossible for them to complete the alliance. There are also those organizers who hide in the crowd, because they are worried that they will become the first birds, and they dare not stand out at all.

Therefore, when the nobles of Chris collectively bowed down to pay tribute to Katerina, the team of Burros fell into chaos because the dragons had no leader.

Seeing that no companions were watching them, some Burros people chose to kneel down with the Chris nobles, while some Burros people gritted their teeth and insisted on standing still, while more Burros people looked hesitant. Know what to do.

On the throne, Katerina saw everything in her eyes. Facing everyone's reactions, the girl's face was calm and she didn't show any superfluous expressions. But after looking around the crowd under the throne, she suddenly spoke in a quiet tone. open the mouth,

"Zhuqing, get up, don't be in a hurry to bow down, I think it's better to explain some things clearly first, after all..."

"The flag of the Kingdom of New Burros has just been erected, and you are not currently my subjects in terms of law. The ceremony of worshiping the king cannot be used indiscriminately."

At this moment, after hearing Katerina's remarks, the political hall suddenly fell silent. The nobles on Chris's side did not respond to this, but most of the Burros nobles' faces more or less began to show a trace of panic.

No way, according to the current social rules of the mainstream world, the identity and power of nobles can only be bestowed by the king. At this time, the royal power of the Burros Kingdom has been handed over to Katerina.

This means that if the girl does not recognize the aristocratic status of everyone, then according to the law, one of the Burros people present will be counted as one, and all of them will have to become civilians. This is a very terrible thing.

Of course, having said that, it is impossible for Katerina to really erase all the identities of Burros nobles. After all, nobles are the cornerstone of stable social order in the current era and the source of chaos. The girl wants to guarantee the identity of Burros. Stability, and they can't do without them in a short period of time. At most, they can find a few thorns from them, and then kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys.

The Burros people also understand this truth, and it is precisely this that they are afraid of.

As a complete loser, the nobles of Burrose are now a piece of meat on Katerina's chopping board, they can only be slaughtered by the girl, and their life and death depend on her thoughts.

Although knowing that Katerina can't destroy everyone, no one wants to be the chicken that is used to warn the monkeys, so the nobles of Burrose want to unite and rely on collective strength to obtain a A sense of security.

But it's a pity that Katerina obviously didn't intend to give them a chance to keep warm. Now the initiative is completely in the hands of the girl, and everyone can only let her die.

"Zhu Qing, since you have chosen to stand in front of me at this moment, you must already have some understanding of who I am......"

At this moment, looking at the nobles with different expressions in the hall, Katerina, who was sitting high on the throne, seemed not aware of the tense atmosphere at this time, only the corners of the girl's mouth curled slightly, and her body leaned back slightly , and then said in a cold tone,

"If that's the case, then I won't go around in circles."

"I declare on the spot that the New Burros Kingdom under my leadership will no longer follow the old traditions of the past, and it will have a new legal order!"

"Under the new legal principles, all nobles will no longer enjoy eternal canonization, let alone continue to occupy the right to own land, and the era of lying in the ancestral merit book will completely become history in the Kingdom of New Burros!"

"This is my basic bottom line. If someone can't accept it, they can leave now, but please don't take chances and expect me to make concessions. Anyone who stands in my way... will definitely Get cleared!"

At this moment, when Katerina's voice fell, the hall suddenly became noisy, and this time not only the nobles of Burrose, but even some of the nobles of Chris were stunned, obviously did not expect The girl made such a "crazy" decision.

On the other side, facing the sudden and intensified turmoil in the crowd, Katerina, who was sitting high on the throne, still looked calm and calm, and even her eyes did not change, as if a girl The chaotic situation doesn't bother the general at all.

In fact, Katerina really didn't care much about it. The girl was able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai at this moment, so she naturally had confidence in her heart.

As early as half a year ago, when Chris and Burros had not yet ended their war, Katerina had already made plans for the future political system of the Burros Kingdom.

As a traveler from the Celestial Dynasty, Katerina naturally tends to the political system of the ancient Celestial Dynasty in terms of system selection. Coupled with the objective needs of the country's industrialization in the follow-up plan, the girl naturally abandoned the current state. The system of enfeoffment turned its attention to the centralized system.

However, Katerina also knows in her heart that the road from enfeoffment to centralization is not so easy to walk. Looking at the history of previous lives, no matter whether it is ancient or modern, almost all countries that have gone from enfeoffment to centralization have experienced A very dark history, full of blood and cruelty.

However, despite knowing the hardships of the historical journey, Katerina did not give up because of this. On the contrary, after feeling her historical responsibility, the girl's will to push the times forward became more determined.

And just when Katerina was ready to pay a heavy price, she suddenly discovered that history had played a joke on her. The Burros kingdom she controlled had already possessed a natural soil for transformation!

In the agricultural era when productivity was backward, the most important means of production was land. During this period, the institutional change around land, because it involved the distribution of the core interests of the society, was bound to be carried out in a cruel form, and from the enfeoffment system to the central government. Centralization and institutional changes surrounding the land are absolutely unavoidable. Therefore, in theory, Katerina will inevitably face extremely strong resistance if she wants to fix the centralized system.

However, in the Burros Kingdom at this time, the situation was completely different.

Burrose is a sea country, and it is also a non-traditional sea country that has been transformed by traversers. This country has a characteristic that is different from all countries, that is, land is not the main means of production in society.

The main reason for this feature is that the traversers forcibly lowered the threshold of navigation technology, and relying on a strong naval force, they created a set of ocean rule systems that transcended the times and were beneficial to themselves.

Because you can completely rely on the maritime trade system to get everything you want in an easier way, this makes the things that the nobles of Burros regard as the foundation of their lives, and they are ships rather than land. What Katerina will carry out Land reform will not touch their core interests.

And more importantly, because they belonged to the side that surrendered in the war, nearly [-]% of Burros's fleet is currently held in Katerina's hands. It is impossible for the nobles to vigorously resist the centralization policy proposed by the girls for the sake of "insignificant" land ownership.

As for another political force that might oppose Katerina—the Chris Nobility Group, these people are generally branches separated from the Florida nobility system, and have little interest in the Burros Kingdom. It can be said that they are alone when they are alone. How much benefit they can get depends entirely on how much Katerina is willing to give. Under such circumstances, it is unlikely that the Chris noble group will resolutely resist Katerina's centralization policy.

In this way, within the Burros Kingdom, very few people will oppose the centralization policy from the perspective of their own interests. Katerina can easily carry out the policy, and it is precisely because of this that the girl Only at this time will he behave so carelessly.

"Your Majesty, I have some doubts about what you said just now. Could Your Majesty please explain?"

I don't know how long it took, but when Katerina rested her face and patiently waited for the nobles present to figure out the key point, someone suddenly stood out from the crowd.

At this moment, looking at the figure standing in front of her, Katerina couldn't help raising her brows. After confirming that the other party was not the "sitter" she had arranged, the girl blinked her eyes with more interest.

"Who are you, and report your name."

Facing Katerina's inquiry, the people in the audience responded respectfully,

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am the Patriarch of the Arnold Family, serving as the Prime Minister under the command of the former King Saxon. You can call me--Theodore."

"Theodore Arnold......"

Hearing the response from the person in front of her, Katerina couldn't help repeating the other person's name. For some reason, the girl always felt that this name was a bit familiar. The pp appeared in the notebook left by the fellow ", which means that the other party's family, whose ancestors are likely to be one of the founders of Boulros.

With this in mind, Katerina said calmly after taking a closer look at the person in front of her,

"Come on, what's your problem?"

"Thank you for your kindness~" With Katerina's consent, the man named Theodore bowed, and then said sincerely,

"Your Majesty, I just heard from you that you seem to be planning to take back the autonomous management rights of the nobles, so what I want to know is, before the management rights are taken back, will you allow us to take back the property belonging to our family?"

At this moment, Katerina raised her eyebrows when she heard Theodore's question, and then, the girl who quickly realized her real problem chuckled lightly and said,

"Hehe, you actually want to ask if you can take back your own fleet?"

"Don't worry, my previous promise is still valid. The fleet belongs to each family's private property and is no longer within the scope of recycling."

As soon as the girl's voice fell, the originally extremely depressing atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed. Many nobles in Burrose even showed a very obvious gesture of relief. However, Theodore, who stood in front of Katerina, It was still calm, after a slight pause, he spoke again,
