"Abolish slavery?!"

The maid suddenly looked up at the goddess of wealth, her eyes full of suspicion.

"Are you sure it's the Ogordon Empire? and Caesar XIII himself proclaimed it?"

"It's true!" said Latinia, standing at the maid's desk with her hands on the table, her eyes widened as she likewise widened, and in a tone of disbelief, "that's what the Bishop of Moro heard with his own ears, it's hard to imagine, isn't it?"

Hearing this, the maid put down her pen, took a deep breath, and leaned back.

“...... What's been going on in the Ogordon Empire lately?" asked the maid after a moment of contemplation.

Latinia frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and shook her head, "Nothing happened...... You know what happened, and there hasn't been any big news in the past six months. ”

The maid gasped, "That's weird......"

If nothing had happened to the Ogordon Empire in the past half a year, how could that emperor do such a thing?

There must be a reason for him to do this, but what is that cause......

"Hmm...... There's one thing I'm not sure about. Suddenly, Latinia spoke.

Her eyebrows furrowed, and the corners of her mouth pursed, "Even the Ogordon Empire seems to have begun the process of 'industrialization', the nobles have purchased steam engines and established factories, but the number of workers who can be exploited by them is not large, and they also have their own fields to take care of, and the number of 'slaves' is far from enough, so a bureau was set up, so some farmers went bankrupt and owed a large amount of debt, and in order to repay the debt, those farmers could only sell themselves to the nobles." In this way, not only their people, but also their fields were pocketed by the nobility. ”

Speaking of this, Latinia paused for a moment and couldn't help sighing: "This method can only harm those farmers who are illiterate and do not know how to calculate, and they can only choose to obey the laws issued by the lord. Although the nobles did not exterminate them in order to maintain their 'last grace', they did use this method to embezzle a lot of land and wealth...... However, these things started a few years ago, and at first only a few shameless nobles did it, but it may be because they grabbed too many benefits in this way, causing more and more people to join the ranks, not only the nobles, but even some wealthy merchants chose to use this method to harm the peasants. ”

"It's just an inducement!" said the maid with certainty, "and it must not be the only thing that really made Caesar XIII determined to abolish slavery, because the size of the Ogordon Empire was so large that if the lords were to do such a thing in their own territory, they would not be able to threaten the royal family." So what really led Caesar XIII to do this must be something else!"

At least at this stage, Caesar XIII should not have done such an irrational thing until the railway network was fully laid.

Because the railroad had to pass through the territory of other nobles, this meant that it needed their permission, otherwise, even Caesar XIII would not be able to do anything to 'encroach on the territory of other nobles', otherwise it would definitely be attacked by the nobles.

Even if he really wants to, he should wait until the time is ripe, that is, when he can threaten all the nobles through the railway network!

"Wait!" the maid suddenly thought of an important question, "Does he have the support of others while he is doing this?"

"Yes!"

Latinia nodded with a serious expression, "All the nobles present have chosen to support him in abolishing slavery! And there is one more thing I forgot to mention just now, the reason he invited those nobles to come was not to 'announce' anything, but to give a 'speech'!"

The maid took a deep breath, and she felt that this was the real point.

After adjusting her mentality, the maid asked in a low voice, "What did he say?"

"He said—"

Remembering the report submitted by the bishop, Latinia couldn't help but take a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "People, all are created equal - don't worry, I'm not done yet!"

Hearing this, the maid bit her lower lip and sat back down.

Latinia pursed her lips and continued: "Caesar XIII avoided the important and did not directly specify 'everyone is equal', but said that the glory of the nobility comes from itself, and the ancestors only inherited blood and identity, from another point of view......"

The maid's eyes narrowed, and she said bluntly: "It shows that those nobles are some unworthy waste?"

Latinia was choked by this blunt sentence, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly, "Yes, that's pretty much it......"

"If he satirizes all the nobles, isn't he afraid of being attacked by those nobles?" Although he said so, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth still showed the maid's inner feelings.

That emperor has a very good appetite for her!

Tear off the so-called 'elegant' skin of the traditional aristocracy, and expose all their insides for everyone in the world to see.

Caesar XIII must have been very taboo about those nobles before, otherwise he would not have created a nondescript 'new noble' to be able to install his cronies in those positions.

According to the tradition of the Ogordon Empire, only the nobles could hold power, whether it was a court nobleman or a powerful nobleman, and the person who held the power was bound to have the name of a nobleman, in order to show the superiority of the 'aristocratic system'.

The reason why Caesar XIII became so radical all of a sudden was not only the growth of his strength and sphere of influence, but also the deeper reasons.

The maid and Latinia stared widely, racking their brains as to why the Emperor, who had always been sane and steady, had suddenly become so aggressive.

“...... Forget it, don't want to!"

The maid sighed, threw herself back, and leaned back in her chair, "Anyway, it's good for us. Whatever the reason, as long as the wealth can be recirculated and not just rusted in the hands of those nobles!"

In fact, the maid also knew very well that the reason why the big nobles supported Caesar XIII was that the small nobles generally did not have much 'cash' in their hands, and they could not hire all the emancipated slaves, and after there was no land, the emancipated slaves had nothing, and at this time, whether Caesar XIII or the big nobles were able to get many high-quality workers and farmers.

If the nobles who had suffered as a result of the 'emancipation of slaves' were resentful and refused to let them go, and would rather starve the slaves to death than give them over to others, then Caesar XIII had a reason to deprive them of their titles and lands.

At such a time, no one will be kind enough to warn them, because when those nobles are stripped of their titles, then their remaining land will become an ownerless piece of fat, and everyone in the hyenas will want to eat on it.

As for the slaves who died because of these things...... Who cares?

At such a time, slavery was suddenly abolished, and perhaps it was not a good thing for the slaves, who now had nothing left, at least if they had an owner, they could barely survive.

But no one cares what they think, maybe Caesar XIII has calculated everything, and the great nobles have ideas in their hearts, but with them, they will definitely not be able to eat all the emancipated slaves.

Aren't freedmen who have no wealth and no land, and no place to live, a homeless?

So between the attacks of the two forces this time, the slaves without any security are the most innocent, and they must give their lives for the benefit of both sides.

In response, the maid and Latinia could only sigh as they looked at each other.

They can't do anything other than guarantee that some people won't starve to death because it's too far away...... (https:)
