Chapter 196: 194: Three Orders (Monthly Ticket 800 plus more)
This is the new Lion King, arriving in his city on his first day.
Of course, there are a lot of processes to go through, and a lot of things need to be completed step by step.
Parading through the streets, accepting the cheers of the people, and letting his people know him as the new Lion King was only the beginning.
Afterwards, Loy had to accept the allegiance of all vassals and knights in the Lion Manor.
They did not come together, but one family at a time, and these people had to recite their oaths according to ancient rituals and agreements.
And Loy had to place the knight's sword on their left and right shoulders and accept their loyalty.
Don’t think this is nothing. In fact, only in this way can we achieve the covenant passed down from ancient times.
From this moment on, Loy was their lord and they were his vassals.
There are both obligations and rights between the two parties, and they are mutually binding.
In general, in the majestic palace, witnessed by countless people, the oath echoed under the dome, which was still very solemn!
The problem is that he has to complete the same oath and the same actions dozens of times, which is getting a bit boring.
What's more, he had to write down everyone's name, appearance, family members, and territory, which was cumbersome.
Luo Yi didn’t know whether other people had this ability, but anyway, he asked Shenlan for help early on.
Besides, these nobles cannot be without ambition.
However, when Luo Yi showed the holy artifact, the Proverbs Ring, and when the three powerful Calamity Warriors stood behind him, they could only carefully restrain their ambitions.
This ceremony took a very long time, and by the time it was over, it was already evening.
Fortunately, Butler Hoover took over the manor early, organized the servants, and had Ang's silent support.
Therefore, there was no problem in the operation of the entire manor, and a decent dinner was held.
At the dinner, Luo Yi made a brief speech. Actually, he didn't say much, just a few nice words.
After a big feast, the succession ceremony was over.
The whole process was both grand and simple, but no matter what, the oath of allegiance had been taken and the process had been followed.
From this day on, Luo Yi truly became the owner of this flower collar.
He is also the leader of millions of people in this 3,000 square kilometers of land and the most powerful lion king.
It is worth mentioning that on the first day of his reign, Luo Yi did something after all.
He issued three orders as Count Raymond.
First, he called it: Amnesty!
That is, on the day the news arrives, as long as the bandits lay down their weapons, return to their villages, and honestly farm the land, their previous mistakes will no longer be pursued.
This has never happened in the Old World!
If bandits are caught, they will either be enslaved or bought and sold, or they will be killed directly and rewarded with military merit.
There is almost no precedent for him to pardon someone so directly!
However, as it was Earl Raymond's first order, none of his vassals dared to say anything.
Secondly, open the warehouse and release the grain!
The farmers and freemen did not have much assets at home, and the food they harvested was just enough to eat.
But this is just a normal situation. After the territory fell into chaos, they even had difficulty getting enough to eat.
Therefore, becoming bandits and robbing is their only way out.
Therefore, forgiveness alone is useless. Even if you forgive someone, they will still starve to death if they have nothing to eat.
Therefore, opening the warehouse and releasing grain is the only way.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of food in the Flower Territory, and even the smallest Knight Territory has sufficient reserves.
Almost all the barns were filled with grain!
However, these knights were not kind enough to give food to the God of Death. They were kind enough to lend them seeds.
But this time, what Luo Yi asked for was to open the granary free of charge and set up soup kitchens to ensure that the people would not starve to death.
Of course, these were all food for the knights and nobles, not for Loy.
Therefore, Luo Yi promised that the food they consumed could be deducted from the taxes they paid.
The lower nobles naturally have to pay taxes to the upper nobles. In this area, Earl Roy Raymond is the largest.
Therefore, all their taxes had to be handed over to him, and it was not just money, but more so food grains, animal furs and the like.
Luo Yi was willing to use next year's new grain to exchange for the old grain in their hands, so they definitely made a profit.
The third order was that no matter how many times these vassals and knights had transgressed the rules before, he would pretend to be ignorant and write off all wrongdoing.
However, from today on, if there are still some "bad" things, don't blame him for being rude.
It was obvious that after the third order was issued, many nobles breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had completely relaxed.
Based on what they have done during this period, if Count Raymond really pursues them, he will confiscate their property and wipe out their clans.
Luo Yi said that he would not pursue the matter and would just let it go.
In fact, this third point is the foundation for the actual implementation of the first two points.
In the eyes of Loy and Shenlan, the control system of the Old World cannot be described as rough, but almost non-existent.
The power of the nobles is unlimited. Ordinary people can only bow their heads and submit in front of them. They are nothing!
If Luo Yi wanted to execute certain orders, he could only rely on these vassals except for the areas directly under his jurisdiction.
After the three orders were issued, the atmosphere of the banquet became obviously lively.
Many nobles also dared to approach Luo Yi, hoping to become familiar with him.
Of course, no fundamental issues were touched upon that day, and Loyi didn't even mention the magical machinery.
Therefore, almost all the nobles and vassals knew that the things to be discussed were not yet over.
It's just that today is not the right day.
This banquet lasted until the second half of the night. Luo Yi really didn't want to drag it out, so he announced the end of it.
This night was a sleepless night for many nobles.
However, Luo Yi slept soundly and peacefully.
Because, although this day was tiring, at least no nobles within the Flower Territory would openly oppose him.
From now on, even if there is dissatisfaction, it will be done secretly through some conspiracy and trickery, which will not be made public.
The next day,
Early in the morning, Luo Yi got up early and prepared to implement the three orders from yesterday one by one.
In this way, the Flower Leader can be stabilized as quickly as possible and the internal chaos can be eliminated.
As for the rest, he still needs to think more and look more to decide where to start.
However, just when he was having breakfast, a servant came to report that there were two magicians outside, claiming to be old acquaintances of Loy, who came to ask for a meeting.
Luo Yi really didn't know if he had any old acquaintances in this flower district, but the person who came was a powerful magician, so it was definitely worth meeting him.
After finishing the food in a few bites, Luo Yi was led to the living room by the maid.
Then, when he saw the person coming, he was stunned.
It is true that we are old acquaintances!
Douglas Hill, dressed in a moon-white robe and with an exaggerated smile on his face, grinned when he saw Luo Yi, "Why, it's only been a short time, and you don't recognize your old friend anymore?"
Luo Yi paused slightly, then immediately strode forward and gave him a big hug.
"Douglas, when did you get here?"
Douglas Hill's smile widened. He said, "I've been waiting for you here for a few days. I saw you riding a horse and parading through the streets yesterday. You looked so high and proud."
"I'm a little afraid to come and acknowledge you, fearing that you, the Earl, would dislike us old friends!"
"What are you talking about?"
Luo Yi couldn't help but punched him and said, "Don't you understand my personality?
If it were possible, I wouldn't necessarily like being a count.
If I were still in Auckland, I would have a very carefree life!"
Douglas Hill asked jokingly, "How about going back with me now?"
“Ahem!”
Luo Yi said seriously, "I am now the king of lions, and the livelihoods of millions of people are on my shoulders. How can I just leave whenever I want?"
Douglas couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Isn't it because you can't bear to do it?"
"Um, is it so obvious?"
"What do you think?"
"Okay, okay, now that I'm in this position, I naturally don't want to get down."
Luo Yi finally reacted and asked, "No, Douglas, you came all the way here to talk to me, didn't you?"
Douglas Hill asked in confusion, "Didn't you ask me to come?"
“When did I…”
Luo Yi was also confused, but halfway through his words, he seemed to remember something: "Wait, are you talking about the communication magic circle?"
"nonsense!"
Douglas was speechless: "When you left, you insisted that I help find someone to set up a communication magic circle for you. I still remember it.
After finding the way, I rushed here. How could you have forgotten this?"
Luo Yi slapped his head and said anxiously, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I've been too busy recently and there are too many things to do. I'm confused.
So, have you found someone for me?"
"certainly!"
Douglas Hill stepped aside and said, "Allow me to introduce you solemnly."
"Zenith Mage Tower, third-level extraordinary mage, Menon Becker, specializes in space magic. He is best at setting up communication magic circles, or long-distance teleportation magic circles."
This was an old wizard with a white robe, white hair, and white beard, but with a ruddy face and skin that did not look very wrinkled.
He is not tall, has a round figure, and his eyes are clear and gentle.
If Douglas Hill hadn't introduced him, Roy would even think that this man looked more like the old man next door.
Seeing Luo Yi looking at him, he bowed slightly and said, "Mennon Becker, I greet the Earl."
Luo Yi also nodded slightly: "Nice to meet you, Master Mennon, I have to trouble you this time."
However, what I didn't expect was that the old man asked directly: "The communication magic circle is easy to deal with, I will definitely set it up for you.
What I want to ask now is, what exactly does the Earl plan to do with the group of detained imperial staff?"
It's too late, but I posted it anyway!
