Chapter 1744: "(Two in one)"

To draw a province from the empire's territory to the eight families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce to build the country, these major events cannot be decided by Bai Feng alone, even if he is already the supreme emperor of the empire, he can't decide this in a single word. Major events involving national territory.
At the dynasty meeting on the second day, as the emperor of the Empire, Bai Feng spoke out the subject himself, and immediately aroused the firm opposition of all the emperor ministers in the Palace of Deliberation; similar to the prince of the four dynasties, such as the prince of the Empire, Patel, even more Out of the ancestral system of the Dragon Empire.
Although Bai Feng never put the messy imperial ancestry in his eyes, he still recognized the stipulations of the imperial territory on the territory of the empire. He recognized it; the recognition was recognized, and the ancestral system was used to confront his Pat Duke of Seoul, Bai Feng's heart is still very dissatisfied, but because of the qualifications and merits of the other party, Bai Feng can't take him.
After allowing these emperor ministers to express their opinions, Bai Feng began to explain to them their true intentions: First, the territory was drawn from the imperial territory to the eight families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, and this matter was a pseudo-proposition in itself. .
In other words, the country established by the eight families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce is not a truly independent country, but a vassal state of the Dragon Empire, and even their rights will not be higher than the original nobles of the empire. How big is it.
Secondly, the place allocated to the eight families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce to establish the country is not the inherent territory of the Dragon Empire. At present, Baifeng has two more recognized places, one is the Imperial White Horse Special Zone, and the other is the Imperial Prairie Special Zone.
Bai Feng's arrangement is that if the final selected place is the Imperial White Horse Special Zone, then four scattered and no large towns will be drawn from the eight non-capital counties belonging to the two existing provinces of the White Horse Special Zone, with an area equivalent to about one The territory of the Earl's Court (one third of the county) was handed over to the eight families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, allowing them to establish four independent city-states directly under the Central Empire.
If the final selected place is the Imperial Prairie Special Zone, then from the Prairie Special Zone located in the Imperial City Building area and the border area of ​​Mongolia established by the Prince Shuchi, four scattered territories with an area equivalent to two counties will be drawn and handed over to Wei The eight families of the Minster Chamber of Commerce allowed them to establish four more independent but still empire-dependent Principalities.
The reason why the two options are allocated to the eight major families is almost six times different. The main reason is that the grassland special zone is very large and the population is very sparse. It is really not a suitable place for development; instead, it is the Baima special zone, where it is more suitable. The development and independence of the country, so Bai Feng's restrictive policies for the eight major families there are much stricter.
Finally and most importantly, no matter where the eight families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce established their country, each city-state or principality can only form an army of no more than 10,000 people, and once an empire war occurs, their army must accept the empire unconditionally The military command.
In addition, the city-states or principalities established by the eight families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce do not have independent diplomatic powers, and they cannot enter into any form of agreement with any other country in private beyond the empire; on this basis, they can enjoy relatively independent administrative powers , Judicial power, fiscal power and other powers, the empire generally does not interfere with them.
The general subtext of non-interference is that if special circumstances or other forms of change occur, the empire can intervene in their internal administrative, financial, and judicial status as the sovereign state. This will eventually be determined in the form of law.
After Bai Feng's long speech, the veteran dignitaries and ministers headed by the Duke of Patel still insisted against the creation of a nation by the eight families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce. The new empire of the Empire led by Marcus felt that After realizing Bai Feng's determination on this matter, he no longer insisted on objecting, but also suggested that the Westminster Chamber of Commerce must be paid enough.
Half of the heavy ministers explicitly opposed the half of the heavy ministers' reluctance to agree. Such a result was not what Bai Feng wanted. In order to let all the heavy ministers in the Palace of Justice agree with their plans, Bai Feng decided to make the truth of the Cossack mercenaries public.
At this moment, the emperor dignitaries who can participate in today’s discussion in the Hall of Government are all high officials and ministers in the central government of the empire; although everyone will have various conceptual conflicts with each other, everyone is looking forward to the empire. Okay, there is no doubt about this.
Out of trust in the empires, Bai Feng announced in advance the relationship between the Cossack mercenaries and the empire, as well as the current status and future development direction of the Cossack mercenaries; knowing the support of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce can directly affect The many layouts of the empire in the chaotic realm, the ministers in the Hall of Debating and Political Affairs rushed to discuss.
The territories led by the four counts of the White Horse Special District, as well as the territories of the eight counties of the Prairie Special District, are insignificant compared to the vast chaotic territory; it is no exaggeration to say that the entire White Horse Special District and the entire grassland privileges add up. The value of no chaotic zone is great, not to mention that the price paid by the empire is not two complete special zones, but only a part of the territory in these two special zones.
No matter how stubborn and conservative imperial ministers, they have to admit to using the four counts of the White Horse Special Zone, or the eight county-sized pastures of the Prairie Special Zone, for an area equivalent to three or four imperial provinces and a population of tens of millions. The realm of chaos is definitely profitable.
When I think of the special geographical location of the empire on the left, the Feiyu on the right, the Detong of North Tong, and the White Horse of Nanda, even the Duke of Patel has also firmly opposed the division of the empire's territory to the eight families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce. Conservative leaders have to admit that this is a very cost-effective deal, provided that the Westminster Chamber of Commerce must do its utmost to help the Empire take over the chaotic realm.
There has never been a free lunch in the world, and there is no good thing about the pie in the sky. The eight families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce want to get the dream of the founding of the country, of course, to pay the price to satisfy the empire.
After receiving the unanimous support of the ministers, Bai Feng also said on the spot that the cooperation agreement between the eight families of the Empire and the Westminster Chamber of Commerce can be signed in advance, but only after the Empire has completely won the chaos, the eight families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce needed to build the country. Will be given to them.
After basically finalizing the requirements of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, the question returned to the question of whether to divide the territory from the White Horse Special Zone to the Westminster Chamber of Commerce or from the Prairie Special Zone to the Westminster Chamber of Commerce. Come up.
The new ministers headed by the Minister of the Interior, Duke Marcus, generally believed that the Westminster Chamber of Commerce should be divided from the Prairie Special Zone on the grounds that the Prairie Special Zone was located in a very special position. may.
The conservative ministers headed by Duke Patel, the prime minister, generally believed that the Westminster Chamber of Commerce should be divided from the White Horse District, on the grounds that fewer territories were needed to achieve the purpose and reduce the territorial losses of the empire.
The conservative heavy ministers in the imperial territory must be compared, making Bai Feng both funny and helpless. Fortunately, this issue is not a crucial core issue; after the two heavy ministers argued to no avail, they temporarily put it aside After I got up, I didn't continue the discussion.
Three days later, the Westminster Chamber of Commerce sent a very high-profile delegation to the Imperial Capital secretly. This delegation led the Windsor family heads of the eight families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, Windsor and Hanover. The family head Ernst, the gorse family head Jeffrey, the Anjo family head Fulk, and the other four major families also sent the second person who was only the owner.
Windsor, the head of the Windsor family, is an old acquaintance of Bai Feng, and even he himself has the title of Duke of the Empire, which Bai Feng personally encloses; even though this duke is more of a symbol of honor, it is still enough to show that he is still highly valued by Bai Feng.
After the courtesy reception, Bai Feng bluntly offered his own price tag. The eight families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce were free to choose whether to obtain four counts in the White Horse District to establish an independent city-state, or in the Prairie District to establish eight counties to establish independence. Principality.
As for the price that the Westminster Chamber of Commerce needs to pay, Bai Feng did not mention it. He just asked the delegation to go back and discuss which state-building plan to choose. After the delegation has finalized the state-building plan, the two sides will continue to discuss the specific Cooperation matters.
In order to prevent the Westminster Chamber of Commerce representatives from leaking news when discussing the choice of the founding of the country, Bai Feng specially arranged for them to live in a partial palace in the palace, and sent a guard of the Imperial Guard Iron Barron Sven to bring a team of guards to protect Their safety.
From day to night, Bai Feng has been dealing with the submissions submitted by the central government in the Palace of Justice. It was not until the Duke of Windsor came outside the Palace of Justice to see what he had done.
"My Excellency Windsor, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Your Majesty, you really have a big problem for us!" Duke Windsor smiled bitterly.
"Why, don't the other families of your Chamber of Commerce want to build an independent country?" Bai Feng asked knowingly.
"Your Majesty, you know the situation of our chamber of commerce. We have eight families, but you only give us four independent state-building places. We really have no way to divide it!" The Duke of Windsor proactively proposed: "It is not as good as you think , We can choose to establish a country in a more remote grassland special zone, and then each Principality uses only one county and uses eight territories to establish eight principalities."
"What do you think?" Bai Feng asked irresponsibly.
"Your Majesty, the entire Westminster Chamber of Commerce can create more value for the empire than the half Westminster Chamber of Commerce!"
"One hundred thousand slaves made up of prisoners of war, one hundred thousand sets of weapons and equipment, and a pile of grain and grass supplies. Is this the value of your Westminster Chamber of Commerce?"
"Your Majesty, you..." The Duke of Windsor, with a pale face, wanted to say nothing but said nothing.
"Your Westminster Chamber of Commerce has eight major families. Why did you come with only four family heads, did the other four families give up the founding of the country, or did they have other plans?" Bai Feng's words became sharper.
"Your Majesty, we can unconditionally transfer the slaves, weapons, and grain supplies near Bronster City to your Cossack mercenaries under your command, and please don't blame us." The attitude of the Duke of Windsor was extremely low.
"Everyone has to pay for their actions, especially those in high positions." Bai Feng directly refused.
"Your Majesty..." The Duke of Windsor wanted to fight for it again, but was interrupted by Bai Feng: "Four founding places, no one can be increased; you can choose to cooperate with me, or you can choose to maintain the unity of your eight major families, I don’t force it!"
The Duke of Windsor, knowing that this was not feasible, took a long sigh and adjusted his emotions a little, then returned to the right way: "Our four families of Windsor, Hanover, Gorse, and Anru are willing to leave Westminster. Chamber of Commerce, Allegiance to Your Majesty!"
"My requirements are not as demanding as you think. It is a good thing that your four big families are willing to cooperate with the empire. I really need you to make some efforts for this, but it definitely does not mean that you will be separated from the Westminster Chamber of Commerce."
Of course, Windsor knows that the meaning of not letting the four major families such as the independent founding of the country break away from the Westminster Chamber of Commerce is to split the Westminster Chamber of Commerce into two chambers, and it is likely that they are hostile to each other; but He has no other better choice, he can only accept it silently, after all, that is the opportunity for independent statehood to become the master of a country!
In all fairness, the Duke of Windsor feels that he is not a person who is greedy for the ignorance of the leader of a country, but he still cannot refuse the opportunity to let his family build the country independently, even if this newly-built country is only a subsidiary of the Dragon Empire.
The reason why Stuart, Lancaster, Tudor, York and other four families did not have their heads came in person, not because they could ignore this opportunity, but because they knew what their family had done before, The interests of the Tianlong Empire have been jeopardized. They are not sure if the Tianlong Empire has deliberately set traps against them this time, so they dare not personally take risks.
But even if there is a risk of traps, they still sent their own family's second person after their own as the representative, which shows that the price of the independent founding of the Dragon Empire is for the families of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce. How tempting.
"It is the honor of our four big families to use our chamber of commerce to create value for the empire!" For the future of his family, the Duke of Windsor was prepared to give everything: "I don't know what your majesty, we still need to do something for the empire ?"
"This is the right that your four principalities can enjoy as an affiliate of the empire, as well as the obligations they need to bear." Bai Feng took out a vassal treaty prepared three days ago and handed it to Windsor: "Before that, your four big families You must first do your best to help the Cossack mercenaries; until the day when the Cossack mercenaries unite the chaotic domain, it will be the day when your four major families are feudal!"
The content of the vassal treaty is detailed and complicated, and in addition to the matter involving the unification of the Cossack mercenaries, the Duke of Windsor, although a representative of the four major families, could not make a decision on the spot, and Bai Feng did not force him to do it on the spot. The meaning of the decision is just to ask him to go back and discuss with Ernst and others, and reply to him by noon tomorrow at the latest.
