"still have a question............."

"Your Majesty, I heard that when you were in Chris, you announced to everyone that you will establish a country where the king and nobles will rule the world together."

"I don't know if you still insist on this idea? Also, how do you plan to build this country?"

At this moment, when Theodore's voice fell, Katerina's expression finally showed a dignified look, and the girl began to clearly realize that the man in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person. The two questions raised by this man , may seem unremarkable, but in fact they all point directly to the current core contradiction.

Especially the second question, it is not just a question, but also a fight for the initiative. No matter how Katerina answers, the other party will be able to regain the initiative to a certain extent, and it is no longer a simple task. Human slaughter.

Facing such an interesting person, Katerina's expression suddenly became excited, and after staring deeply at the other person, the girl's red lips slightly curled up, and then, a faint announcement echoed in the hall,

"Half a year ago, I declared to the world that I would establish a country where the king and the nobles will rule the world together. This promise is valid forever!"

"As you ask me how to build this country...."

"Glory to the royal family, centralization of power to the government, capital as the source of power, and full promotion of the historical process of civilization. This is the way of the New Burros Kingdom!"

Chapter 180 176. Political stability

At this moment, as Katerina's voice fell, the crowd in the hall began to commotion again. Everyone present was a veteran of the political field for a long time. It is a basic skill to chew words and ponder the connotation. After listening to Katerina's statement, people He began to think hard about the girl's declaration, trying to comprehend the meaning behind her declaration.

Since the first half of the announcement is quite straightforward, it doesn't take too much effort to guess, it's just a promise of property security that has already been given, so at this time, everyone's attention is focused on the aftermath of the announcement. Half of the paragraph, that is, Katerina's political ideas on how to create a new Burros kingdom, that seemingly empty slogan, is constantly being pondered by everyone word by word.

First of all, the first paragraph, "Glory to the royal family", this paragraph is not difficult to understand. In fact, it is about the national credit foundation and power mechanism of New Burros, which will be bestowed by the supreme ruler of the country. This is the current establishment of almost all countries. concepts that are used at all times.

However, it is worth noting that, unlike other countries, Katerina’s declaration did not mention theocracy at all, which also means that if this concept is fully implemented, the new Burros Kingdom will not be subject to theocracy. Influence, meanwhile, was not backed by theocracy.

Regarding this point, due to the influence of the previous traverser, Burros has had a rather weak sense of theocracy since the founding of the country. Therefore, after understanding the meaning behind this declaration, the nobles of Burros quickly accepted it. The nobles from Chris seem to have a different opinion on this.

Then there is the second paragraph, "Power is concentrated in the government, and capital is the source of power." At present, everyone's attention is focused here. On the one hand, it is because behind this declaration, it represents the future state organization form of New Burros On the other hand, in this declaration, there appeared two words like suture monsters that had never appeared before in people's cognition-"government" and "capital". An unfamiliar word is really difficult to understand, and you can only spend more time guessing its meaning.

As for the last paragraph of the Katrina Declaration, "to fully promote the historical process of civilization", this discourse is basically ignored, because in the eyes of most people, this is completely an empty slogan, and "fight for light and justice" " and other remarks are just banners used to confuse the people at the bottom.

"His Majesty............"

After the commotion in the hall lasted for a long time, Theodore, who had been lowering his eyelids, suddenly spoke again, and as before, he directly aimed at the core of the problem when he spoke,

"Excuse me for being stupid, what do you mean by 'government' and 'capital'?"

Regarding Theodore's question, Katerina didn't keep it secret, but after a chuckle, she looked around the crowd and said in a calm tone,

"The so-called 'government' is the executive branch of state power. In the future Burros Kingdom, all power will belong to the government, and then the government will manage the country as a medium."

"As for 'capital'...in simple terms, it is money, and using capital as the source of power is to use money to stimulate social development."

"Do you have any other questions?"

Facing Katerina's answer, the whispering voices in the hall became even more noisy. Everyone was quickly thinking about the deep meaning behind the girl's words. Then, before everyone could come to a conclusion, Theo standing in front of the girl Much, as if he was the first to figure out something, he suddenly said in a low voice,

"Your Majesty, do you dare to ask that 'all rights belong to the government' you just said, does it mean that all nobles will be deprived of the right to formulate and execute laws in the future?"

"Yes!" To Theodore's question, Katerina gave an affirmative answer in a relaxed tone without changing the smile on her face.

"In the future, all nobles in the Burros Kingdom will be deprived of the right to enact and enforce laws. The laws of the entire kingdom can only be enacted and enforced by the government. No nobles have the right to act without permission, otherwise they will be punished."

"Your Majesty, regarding the 'any' nobleman you mentioned..." At this moment, after listening to Katerina's speech, unlike other noblemen present, Theodore did not show a gesture of panic , and he was not burning with anger as if he was being robbed of something important. He just paused slightly, and then asked in a low and concise tone like a silver needle piercing his bone,

"Does that include yourself too?"

As soon as the voice fell, the entire political hall became deadly silent in an instant. Everyone's eyes widened, and they looked at Theodore with the expression "You don't want to live anymore", as if the man just said something wrong Reasonable discourse in general.

Theodore didn't pay any attention to everyone's reaction. He just stood quietly under the throne, like a warrior facing a dragon, looking calmly at Katerina on the throne.

"Hehe~" After a long time, there was a chuckle from above the throne, and when everyone looked around, the girl on the throne suddenly sat upright, her face was completely free of the anger that had been stimulated to the dark side of her heart, but a look of anger. indifferent,

"Sir Theodore, isn't what I just said clear enough?"

"I said that all nobles will be deprived of the right to formulate and enforce laws, since I said that all nobles......"

"That naturally includes me as the king!"

At this moment, as Katerina's voice fell, it was as if a drop of water had fallen into a very high-temperature oil pan. There was an uproar in the hall, and everyone's faces were full of confusion about the girl's speech.

You know, Katerina now has the absolute upper hand. If the girl really wants to hold all the rights in her own hands and become the supreme power holder in the entire kingdom, although this kind of thing is difficult to do, it is by no means impossible things.

There have been similar things in the history of this world. Some kings who are morbidly obsessed with rights are eager to take all rights into their own hands, and some of them even achieved their wishes and became kings for a period of time. sovereign in his own country.

When Katerina mentioned that she wanted to reclaim the rights of the nobility, almost everyone thought that the girl, like the kings, wanted to become the supreme authority, but the girl's answer denied people's guesses.

If the so-called "government" can really restrain the king legally, as Katerina said, then even if the nobles are deprived of power, it is impossible for the supreme authority to appear.

Regarding Katerina's answer, although everyone couldn't figure out why the girl would be willing to restrain her desire for power when she had an absolute advantage, everyone still breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, no matter whether it is a wise king or a tyrant, no one wants to stand on his head with a completely unrestrained supreme power.

Looking back at Theodore, just as the people in the hall were arguing about Katerina's statement that "kings and nobles are subject to the same constraints", Theodore ignored everyone's reactions and talked with the girl on the throne. After looking at each other, he spoke again, and this time, his tone of voice raised a little, less deep but more solemn.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your generous explanation, I have one last question......"

Speaking of this, under the attention of everyone, Theodore, who was standing like a green pine, suddenly bowed down at this moment,

"I don't know if the road of His Majesty's great cause and grand plan can allow the tail of the 'Your Majesty' to follow, 'Your Majesty' is willing to dedicate his loyalty to His Majesty!"

At this moment, when Theodore's statement sounded in the hall, the atmosphere on the field changed suddenly. Almost everyone looked at Theodore dumbfounded. They did not expect the other party to do such a thing. Anger boiled in many hearts.

You have thick eyebrows and big eyes and betrayed the revolution!

At this moment, most of the Burros nobles looked at Theodore with scary eyes, as if they wished to swallow him alive, but they were not to blame for this. Theodore's behavior at this time was indeed not very authentic.

You must know that Theodore is one of the organizers of the joint action of the Burrows noble group, and he is even a core member. Without his efforts, this joint action would have been impossible to promote.

But now, Theodore, as the core organizer, threw off his own faction members and took the lead in serving Katerina. This kind of behavior is tantamount to betraying the collective, and Theodore should bear the anger of everyone.

However, Theodore, who was a traitor, didn't seem to care much about everyone's opinions. Facing the angry eyes projected from all directions, he didn't even look back.

Obviously, this kind of contemptuous attitude from the betrayers further stimulated the nerves of the nobles of Burros, but unfortunately, no matter how angry the nobles of Burros were, they were doomed to be incompetent and furious, unable to hurt Theo. One cent more, the reason is very simple, Katerina does not allow it!

"Sir Theodore, are you really willing to offer me your loyalty?"

At this moment, just as the nobles of Burros wanted to do something with extreme resentment, an indifferent voice of inquiry rang out from above the throne.

Facing the voice from above the throne, Theodore, who was still kneeling on the ground, bowed his head without any hesitation,

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am willing to dedicate my allegiance to you. Where your will points is the direction in which I am going!"

"In that case..."

At this moment, after seeing the reactions of everyone in the hall, Katerina made a statement in a calm tone,

"Theodore Arnold, in the name of the King, I, Katrina Aldan, hereby proclaim. …"

"From now on, you will be granted the position of Minister of the Interior of the Kingdom of Burros, and your former noble status will be restored. The relevant ceremony will be postponed."

"Now, I allow you to stand by my side as a courtier."

After the announcement was over, Katerina ignored Theodore who looked respectful and adored, but looked at the other people in the hall. After a while, seeing the extremely complicated expressions on everyone's faces, the girl raised her eyelashes slightly. , and then chuckled,

"Everyone, what do you think about the establishment of the New Burros Kingdom?"

At this moment, hearing Katerina's voice, the hall was completely silent, but at the next moment, as if some strange switch was triggered, Theodore's imitators began to appear one after another. In the end, almost everyone chose To accept the new order constructed by the girl.

So far, the political rules of the New Burros Kingdom have set the tone.

..........................................

"Your Majesty, congratulations."

After the meeting, in Katerina's study, the maid Avril congratulated her master with a smile on her face,

"Now that you have successfully conquered the nobles of the Burros Kingdom and made them accept your new order, no one will dare to challenge your throne anymore."

"Hehe, where are you going~?" Hearing Avril Lavigne's congratulations, Katerina, who was rubbing her temples, didn't look very happy, but waved her hand and sighed,

"Those guys don't really surrender to me. They are acting so obedient now, but they can't do it to protect their own interests. If you want them to do things for me honestly, it won't be a matter of a while."

Speaking of this, Katerina suddenly looked straight, and then asked Avril in a deep voice,

"Avril, what I told you before, how are you doing now?"

Facing Katerina's inquiry, Avril quickly restrained her smile, and responded calmly,

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to your instructions, the [Sword Altar] has been prepared, and the news has been released. When the sun rises tomorrow, the entire city of Coraldo will know, and you will choose one of them A warrior who can pull out the legendary sword, this warrior will be awarded a Medal of Glory by you personally, and will also be rewarded with a thousand gold coins."

At this point, Avril paused slightly, then, she looked at Katerina hesitantly and said,

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being stupid. I really can't figure out why you have such an arrangement."

Hearing Avril's inquiry, Katerina didn't mean to hide anything. After stretching herself, the girl responded casually,

"The establishment and development of a new kingdom is not just a matter for me alone, and it is not even just the task of the nobles. My next New Deal requires the participation of all members of this country."

"Now, there is no basis of trust between me and the civilians in Burras. No matter what I want to do, the people of Burras will not actively support it in a short period of time, and even resist it."

"That's why I set up the sword altar to win the trust of the common people in Burros."

Gain the trust of the people?

At this moment, after hearing Katerina's explanation, Avril Lavigne couldn't connect the establishment of the sword world and winning the trust of the people for a while, her eyes seemed a little dazed, and after discovering that her maid hadn't figured out the core of the problem, Katrin Na lightly smiled and said,

"Avril Lavigne, don't miss it. The purpose of setting up a sword altar is not the purpose. Let the public know about it and allow a lucky person to benefit from it. This is the real purpose."

Although her knowledge was limited by the times, Avril Lavigne was a smart person after all. When Katerina spoke to this point, she immediately understood what the girl meant.

"I understand, His Majesty wants to tell everyone that His Majesty's promise is worth more than gold."

Seeing that her maid had already figured out her purpose, Katerina couldn't help but smiled, and then, when the girl lowered her head to read the documents on the desk, she heard Avril suddenly said in a hesitant tone,

"Your Majesty, your strategy is indeed subtle, but do you really intend to give such a heavy reward to the man who drew the sword?"

"One thousand gold coins plus the medal of honor you personally awarded, isn't this reward too heavy, or else......"

The next moment, before Avril could finish speaking, Katerina waved her hand and interrupted her next words. After sighing softly, the girl opened her green eyes and looked at her seriously. maid,

"Avril, I know what you want to say, but what I want to tell you is that people are the foundation of everything, and the value of people is far beyond what money can match."

"If a policy can win people's hearts and gather the will of more people, then it is worth spending more money."

"Compared to the trust and support of the people of Burros, a mere thousand gold coins is really nothing!"
