The orc tribe is a big market, and the nine empires have their own agents, but no one will dislike business, which is why the second looks up to Downton again, no one doesn't like allies who have the ability and can make a lot of money for themselves!

Abagon was worried that Barak's tail would not be too big to fall, so he left Downton to do it himself, after all, with the current strength of the Minotaur, he was already qualified to choose a partner.

"Your worries are too redundant, not to mention the geographical location of our Frankfurt, it is destined to get a piece of the pie, even if Barak really wants to get rid of me, he has to consider the price he needs to pay to open up other business routes. ”

Downton is still very confident in his eye, and Barak, although cunning, is definitely not ungrateful.

There are seven countries bordering the Sunset Prairie, but they are not Downton's own decision, like Frankfurt, and their domestic relations are intertwined, and representatives of various forces are competing for interests.

Feudal lords in their own territories can not only decide on the types of taxes at will, but also collect taxes, and a trade route must pass through many territories, which means that merchants have to pay a lot of tolls.

With the passage of time, those smugglers from other countries also began to choose to go to Frankfurt, without him, in the whole country, only Downton has the right to collect taxes, after they enter, as long as they pay a tax is enough, although the amount is very large, but with other countries mixed up, and it is very favorable, and Downton also provides military protection, unlike other countries, it is not good that the caravan has just paid the money on the front foot, and those lords have turned into robbers on the back foot to rob them.

After all, as long as there is no accident in his own territory, even if the caravan has great grievances, it will not be able to spread on those lords.

As a result of Downton's unification of Frankfurt, the old power class was almost wiped out. The rest was just a lingering breath and didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he nationalized a large amount of land.

The new nobles thought that they could get a feud, but in the end they were only promoted and rewarded with noble titles, and as for the territory, they didn't have to think about it.

And that's not all. Downton also issued a decree prohibiting the nobility from annexing land, and if discovered, the entire family was beheaded and the property confiscated.

The harsh decrees made the new nobles feel uneasy, especially when Downton drastically limited the rights of the lords, and this kind of complaint and anger began to accumulate.

The right of the first night was abolished, except for slaves. The aristocracy was no longer allowed to deprive the freedmen of their lives at will, and in the past the nobles killed the freedmen and paid money, but now, although they did not have to resist their lives, they had to pay a lot of money and suffer the flogging in public.

Among them, the abolition of the right of the first night made young men and women across the country grateful to Downton. No man can afford to send his wife to a nobleman's house for the night on his wedding night. Let those disgusting old men spoil it.

The aristocrats didn't care, they had money anyway, and they weren't afraid of not finding women, but Downton's subsequent tax restriction decree simply killed them.

The lord is not allowed to increase the tax without permission, and the lord is not allowed to collect taxes without permission, and the state will uniformly send tax officials to collect taxes. Then give it to the lord.

In a word, the rights of the lords have been greatly weakened, and before, in their respective territories, the lords could do whatever they wanted. They are the supreme kings, but now, they are just managers.

No one was willing to accept it, so the conspiracy began.

"We helped Downton to become an upstart, not to be squeezed by him!"

Some of the new nobles felt that they had been crossed the river and demolished, so they conspired to conspire against Downton, after all, without them, Frankfurt would be in turmoil on all fronts, but before they could make a move, Beyoncé stood in front of them.

These drow elves from the underworld have a natural insight into conspiracy, and their noses are even more sensitive than dogs, so the Eye of Odin, composed of them, shows its sharp claws and wipes down everyone else.

Because it was a first offense, Downton listened to Homer's advice and ordered them all to be hanged, and their families were used as slaves, and dagger mines were issued without pardon for life.

This cruel verdict made the new nobles who did not participate in the forced palace secretly lucky, and they also began to put away their claws and secretly lick their wounds.

It was only now that the new nobles figured out that Downton did not need to compromise with the power class like the old kings before, he relied on military merit to ascend to the throne, and he had several powerful corps under his command, which was enough to suppress a rebellion, and most importantly, several of his reforms were completely beneficial to the country and the people, and the lives of the common people were improving, so naturally they would not rebel with the nobles.

A few months later, the new nobles realized that Downton had used his political achievements to make the commoners think they were in his side and hostile to them.

It took Downton only three years to go from a commoner to a king, nay, or a king, and the experience was simply legendary, so Frankfurt naturally attracted the attention of many surrounding countries, all looking at him, waiting for him to make mistakes, and then rushing up to dismember the country.

Downton's many decrees were promulgated, and as the news of the spy came back to China, those nobles began to cheer and jump, this guy is going to be finished, and the power class will never agree, look at it, a turmoil is about to spread again, but they sharpen their knives, and what they are waiting for is the news that Downton suppressed the upstarts.

At this point, looking at the thriving Frankfurt, even the stupidest aristocracy knew that the country was beginning to prosper and was about to become a great power.

"I saw the rise of an empire!"

I don't know when this sentence began to circulate in various countries, because this is the evaluation of Downton by the King of Saint-Gertland and the King of Lombardy, so that the two imperial monarchs can say this kind of evaluation, which shows how talented Downton is, so he began to enter the field of vision of more people.

The kings of all countries are envious of Downton's political, economic, and military reforms, and no one in this world is stupid, so how can they not see the benefits of strengthening centralized power? They want to do it, but the power of those power strata is deeply rooted, and there is no major upheaval, and they do not want to shake them.

The surrounding countries began to panic, and no country wanted the neighbors next to them to prosper, because in the end, it could only be the end of the war, and they wanted to clean up Downton, but they were backed by the big backstage of Lombardy, which made them throw themselves into the trap.

Other empires wouldn't allow this to happen, but they didn't have time to care about a third-rate country right now, but St. Gertland began to support some allies and give Frankfurt some trouble.

The situation in the north, because of the strong rise of Downton, gradually became full of gunpowder.

"I'm sure that in less than three years, as soon as the lives of the commoners are better, Downton will begin to reduce the territory and control the number of private soldiers owned by the lords. ”

In the study, II held a stack of reports and read them with relish, and now, reading the news about Downton sent by the secret agent every day had become a pastime for him.

"How's that? I said Downton is great!"

Sissi was massaging the second shoulder, and when she heard this, she snorted proudly.

"You're not his wife yet, as for talking to him like that?"

II teased.

"I'm recommending talent to you!" Sissi sighed, "It's a pity he's not from the Lombards!"

In the eyes of the princess, a third-rate country is too small to be in the eyes of the law at all, and if Downton is a comrade, then he can enter the court to work.

"It doesn't matter!" II put down the report, "but he has a lot of troubles, if an empire wants to rise, it needs to go through many wars, and the Lane Empire has recently planned to use force against him." ”

"Huh, then you can send troops to help him, right?"

Sissi shook her father's shoulder vigorously, in her opinion, no matter how powerful Downton is, she can't beat the leader of a second-rate country, there is no way, this is determined by comprehensive national strength.

"Wait, I want to see what else he can do to surprise me!" II refused with a smile, "He has done so many things in his short term in office, this guy must be a workaholic!"

Downton is not a workaholic, and he's pushing his limits.

Syllable!

Downton pinched off the pen and threw it on the ground, then pushed it with both hands, and all the essays stacked high on the desk flew out, falling like snowflakes all over the room.

"Ahh

I can't complain that Downton lost his temper, even if he has the body of the god of fire, the busyness of these days has also made him lose weight, and he has also left deep dark circles under his eyes.

Compared with meditation and cultivation, dealing with all kinds of official affairs is more tiring, you must know that these are all related to people's livelihood, if something goes wrong, it may affect the lives of many people, so he is fighting with 120,000 points of spirit to deal with it.

"Wait until you get down from the Hand of the King!" joked Homer, "but you still have too little experience, and when you do more, you will know that you can skip it." ”

Downton pouted.

"Master, take a sip of tea to refresh yourself!"

Most of the goblins were silent, but there were always those who were bold enough to put a cup of black tea on their desks.

Downton sniffed the aroma of black tea, took a sip, and spit it out, "It's so hot!"

"Master spare your life!"

The goblin was frightened and quickly fell to his knees, trembling.

"Forget it, you guys go out, let me be quiet!"

Downton waved his hand, and didn't bother to punish them, this job was done by Juliet before, whether it was coffee or black tea, the temperature was just right, so he had already developed a habit, but Juliet's talent was too outstanding, in the words of Uncle Tanan, letting her be a maid was simply a tyrannical thing, so she was dragged to hone her martial arts.

"The other superiors are surrounded by a dozen maids, why do I have to use a bunch of green-skinned goblins?" Downton banged on the table with both hands and lost his temper, "I want beautiful and capable maids, go find me quickly, or I'll strike!"

Isn't this the life of a superior person? How can I get to myself and be forced to do it? (To be continued......)
