Chapter 435: Reform plan (two)

"The nobles retain the right to govern their own fiefdom and the right to make laws, but they cannot violate the national constitution. The nobles cancel the legal immunity, and if they commit crimes, they will be treated the same as civilians. The nobles must fulfill the obligations of the state and cancel their noble status if they violate it... The nobles have the power to form private armies, but the duke shall not form a private army with more than 120 men, and the marquis shall not have more than 100 men... the baron shall not exceed 30 men, and shall not form an air force. The heavy firepower allocation shall not exceed the heavy firepower allocation of the same scale of the army... Reduction... The above is the reform of the noble system, do you have any objections?" Eric put down the document and asked.
Everyone has set their sights on Augustus and others who are nobles. After such a reform, the nobles will lose a lot of power. From then on, the significance of honor will be greater than the actual significance, which is probably unacceptable to them. of. The two nobles beside Augustus immediately thought of standing up to oppose, but they were seated back with a light press on them. Their eyes were filled with puzzlement, but there was no dissatisfaction.
"The old man has no meaning to this reform." Augustus said slowly, as if the person who was harmed was not him, but Zacley and others who were ready to verbalize him couldn't help but stare. "It's just that the old man still has something to say." Augustus picked up a document in front of him, stood up and said, "After overthrowing the decadent kingship, many evil nobles who violated the rules of nobility were also cleaned up. , Causing heavy losses to the noble class. In order to maintain the existence of the nobles, the old man begs your majesty to canonize the new nobles."
"Nowadays, the number of nobles has gone to seven or eight. In order to stabilize the order within the wall and ensure that the land is in charge, the old man suggested that his majesty select persons who have contributed to the overthrow of the king's government and canonize them as new nobles." Augustus expressed his sincerity. Che said, shocking the attention of most people in the field. They never thought that Augustus not only accepted the reform's weakening of the nobles, but also offered to let people distract themselves. Except for a few immediately Everyone thought of the reason why he did this, everyone thought Augustus was not crazy.
I winked at Eric, and he immediately smiled knowingly and said: "Augustus is justified, so do you have any recommendation?" "Of course." Augustus nodded. "The old man recommended Govin-Ackerman, Lance-Flainmark-Mantin... to become the new nobles." The list he read was all restoratives. This is where Augustus’s plan lies. He wants to tie the restitutionist and himself to the same warship.

Most people only saw the loss of the nobility's interests, and only a few people saw the aristocratic class in danger, and Augustus was one of them. At present, the indestructibility of the nobles is only to stabilize them, but after the nobles' power is weakened, the emperor wants to use them, there is still room for resistance? The answer is definitely no. Even if the current emperor was once a nobleman, he used to be inconsistent with all nobles. Can such a person have a good impression of nobles? Augustus obviously did not have this illusion.
If you want to keep the aristocratic class, it is absolutely impossible to just maintain its current state. It must be re-growth and become an ally of the restorationists. To achieve these two points, you have to make some statements to hold your thighs, and ask The emperor canonized members of the Restoration Party as new nobles, this is how Augustus held his thigh...
