Chapter 210 Meeting - Enfeoffment - Officials (Updated Today, Thank You for Your Donations!)
"Everyone, I have been promoted to earl. In accordance with the laws of the principality and ancient traditions, I will reward the meritorious officials under my command."
After Krober finished speaking, everyone present fell into a frenzy.
count!
That's the count!
Barons and viscounts are only low-level nobles, and they can only entrust knighthoods.
But earls are different. They can not only ennoble knights, but also lower-level nobles such as barons and viscounts.
Now that Krober has become an earl, this proves that this group of people will have the opportunity to join the ranks of the nobility and become nobles with titles.
"Foster Knight...."
Upon hearing the first name Klober called out, everyone turned their attention to Foster, who was in the first position on the right.
Foster was stunned for a moment, but quickly stood up from his seat and knelt down on one knee towards Krober.
"Knight Foster, in the name of the Earl of the Amethyst Islands, I grant you the title of Baron of Black Feather Island."
After saying that, Krober stood up, pulled out the green emerald, and placed it on Foster's left shoulder.
"In the name of Veronica, the ruler of the Golden Duchy, I command you to be loyal."
Krober tapped Qing Fei on Foster's left shoulder and then placed it on his right shoulder.
"In the name of your lord, the Earl of the Amethyst Islands, I command you to be merciful."
Jiang Qingfei tapped Foster's right shoulder again and immediately retracted his sword.
Krober patted Foster on the shoulder and said:
"Get up, Baron Black Feather Island. As your lord, I will give you an elf as the foundation of your family. You can choose as you like. Except for Tina, you can choose from all the other elves."
However, Foster's reaction was beyond Klober's expectations.
When he learned that he had been named Baron of Black Feather Island, the expression on his face did not show much surprise, but was more indifferent.
"Sir, I don't need elves. I long for your mercy. I hope you can let me bathe in the glory of the amethyst rose. I will offer you my loyalty and faith!"
He lowered his head, his eyes flashing with determination.
Foster's meaning is very simple. He wants to join the Amethyst Rose family and become a family in the real sense with Krober.
In fact, among everyone present, Mr. Foster was the only one whom Krober truly wanted to make him a powerful fiefdom noble.
As for the others, Krober just wants them to become the new era nobles of the Amethyst Islands.
That even includes Hywell.
After all, Mr. Foster has been fighting for him and Lilith almost all his life. Now that Krober is prosperous, it is naturally impossible for this loyal old man to continue to live a miserable life.
"Okay, old man, since the Baron of Black Feather Island has been conferred on you, you should take care of it. It's easy to talk about the surname. I will arrange officials to manage Black Feather Island for you."
After Klopper helped Foster up, he took the opportunity to introduce the three major systems he had formulated.
The governor-general system, the virtual title system and the official supervision system.
Krober talked about all three systems in a eloquent manner, and everyone present showed surprised expressions after hearing this.
"My lord, you want to concentrate all the power in your own hands!"
As a magician, Samuel's mind naturally moved faster than others, and he immediately understood Krober's intention.
Krober's new policy meant that he would redistribute power throughout the territory, concentrating more power into his own hands while weakening the influence of other nobles.
In this way, Krober can better control the entire territory.
Only then did Samuel realize the courage and courage of this young earl. At least he dared to challenge the traditional power structure.
This kind of thing has nothing to do with him. He is just a magician and a magic consultant who is only loyal to Clobber. He doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing at all.
However, he felt expectations from the bottom of his heart. He was looking forward to whether these three systems could be implemented and whether they would encounter heavy resistance and give up.
Now Samuel is more like an observer and recorder. He deeply records these events in his mind and looks forward to disseminating them in the form of books one day.
He looked at the young figure, imagining him organizing this game of power with a strong posture and joining in to stir up Feng Yun.
Samuel seemed to suddenly see a glimpse of the future...
However, others were not as accepting as Samuel, and among them people of noble origin were the most prominent.
For officials with civilian backgrounds, as long as they have that title and endless money to spend, they are already very satisfied.
Therefore, they were not so opposed to Krober's new system, and even somewhat agreed with it.
And this is also what Krober expected. After all, the establishment of a new system often represents a reshuffle, and reshuffling means opportunity.
Those who are originally at the bottom can climb to higher positions and gain more power and wealth through their own efforts and talents.
And those nobles who were originally aloof may be eliminated because they cannot adapt to the new environment.
In this way, the class structure of society will change, but essentially it will remain the same.
The supreme ruler still stands high and holds most of the power in his hands.
The ruling class is still the nobles, but they have changed from fiefdom nobles to officials and nobles with nominal titles.
Seeing everyone's performance, Krober continued:
"I didn't say that nobles can't become governors. You can completely rely on your own abilities to become governors who manage a place. In addition, the dividends you enjoy every month, isn't this better than wasting your time on a barren territory?"
Everyone hesitated after hearing this.
Seeing this, Krober planned to add fuel to the fire.
"The construction of the Amethyst Island Primary School is about to begin. After the new officials are trained, I will let them try to replace the governor.
And as long as there are no problems during their tenure, they can remove the word "acting" and become formal governors."
The meaning has been made very clear. If you are willing to do it, do it. If you don't want to, get out.
When the next batch of officials of civilian origin are trained, you will have nothing to do. You can do whatever you want at that time.
"I agree with your Excellency!"
An official of civilian origin stood up directly to express his agreement.
"I agree! I agree!"
With the first one starting, the others will naturally do the same.
No matter whether they are sincere or not, after the reserve of officials is sufficient, these people will be eliminated.
So their ideas are not important. All Krober needs is that this system can be implemented and not delay his practice.
After the officials who are instilled with the new system graduate, he will not need to worry about it anymore.
"Since everyone agrees, Haier, you step out."
"Knight Haier, in the name of the Earl of the Amethyst Islands, I grant you the title of Baron of Green Leaf Island."
"Thank you, sir. The Jacaranda Family will surely become the sharpest sword in your hand and defeat all enemies for you..."
So far, the enfeoffment is over.
