Feng Willow's plan was actually very simple. He wanted to slowly turn these nobles into businessmen. It was not about overthrowing the aristocracy system. Instead, he wanted to conduct a process of survival of the fittest among the nobles, eliminate the nobles with insufficient strength, and turn them into businessmen.

The National Sequencer Plan is to train a group of talented sequencers with fast promotion speed. The final powerful and outstanding ones will become the new nobility.

Only by removing the rotten flesh and growing new flesh can the country regain vitality and become stronger again. At that time, Feng Weiluo will be able to absorb more national fortune to improve his strength and refine high-level magic weapons.

It can be said that this is a win-win situation, but those nobles who have been eliminated will definitely resist and obstruct, which is also a war.

"Your Majesty, other matters can be done later, but the issue of land cannot be delayed any longer. No matter what, we must first find a way to ensure that the people have enough food. My suggestion is to convene all the ministers to discuss the land reform.

This matter must be done now. We should start to reclaim wasteland and build water conservancy projects now. The newly reclaimed land can be rented to the people. When the spring plowing season comes, our country will have enough arable land. When the autumn harvest comes, there will be enough food. Only when the people are well fed can a series of subsequent plans be implemented.

Food is the basis of everything. ” von Willow advised the emperor.

"You are right. No matter what, we must first ensure that the people have enough food. But it won't happen for a while. For such a big matter, I need to discuss it with several ministers first. Don't worry, not all nobles will ignore the country for the sake of family interests.

Especially the nobles, they also know that only when the empire is strong can their families live better. Although the land reform is a sensitive issue, it does not affect many interests, and the nobles are not short of squeezing the farmers for a little money.

Now I have the data of your land reform in the three frontier counties. Seeing this result, they should agree. If they really disagree, then even if we directly summon the ministers, this reform proposal will not be implemented.

Grand Duke Willow, you should also know that although this country belongs to the emperor, everyone knows that the country belongs to the nobles, and the emperor is just the biggest noble among them. "Kenlohag said with emotion.

Feng Weiluo nodded in understanding. The emperor of this world was indeed incomparable to the emperors in his previous life who had the final say.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Feng Willow said.

The Council of Nobles is still discussing how to deal with Feng Willow's matter.

"The Duke of Willow has arrived in the capital and is meeting with His Majesty. Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do now? We need to come up with a plan, right?" said the Speaker of the Council of Nobles.

None of the dozens of people in the Noble Council spoke. When Feng Willow didn't come, they were all excited and clamoring to make Feng Willow pay the price. The majesty of the Noble Council should not be underestimated.

As a result, now that Feng Willow has really come to the capital, these nobles have become silent. The dignity of the Noble Council is indeed important, but you can't offend others for the sake of the dignity of the Noble Council!

If they said something at this time, it might be reported to Feng Willow after the meeting. It was hard to say what the noble council would do at that time, but if their family offended Feng Willow, they would suffer a lot.

"Since none of you are saying anything, that means you agree not to punish Grand Duke Willow. Are you going to just let this matter go? No one will take the Noble Council seriously anymore. The powerful nobles can bully the weak nobles at will.

This is not a good thing for all the nobles. Although you are all great nobles, there are also nobles who are stronger than you. Once the rules are broken, everyone will have a hard time. "The old speaker said calmly.

But it lets everyone know that the rules have been broken, which is not a good thing for any of them.

“Everyone, I think now is not the time for us to discuss how to punish Grand Duke Feng Weiluo. Anyway, he has already come to the capital. Why don’t we invite him over first and let him talk about what to do about this matter and let him give us an explanation.

No matter how powerful he is, would he choose to be the enemy of our entire noble council? "Duke Winston suggested. Duke Winston is also a member of the royal family of the Viking Empire.

As soon as Feng Willow left the palace, he was invited to the Council of Nobles.

Feng Willow naturally knew about the affairs of the Council of Nobles, but he had always been too lazy to deal with these nobles, thinking it was a waste of time. However, now that he wanted to reform, he needed the support of these nobles, or in other words, he needed to win over some people and suppress others.

If he wanted to make the country stronger, he needed to integrate into the nobility. Facing the invitation from the Noble Parliament, he did not refuse.

"Dear respected members of the noble parliament, this is Grand Duke von Willow." The noble who led von Willow here introduced him to everyone.

"Grand Duke Willow, this is Duke Bolag, the Speaker of the Noble Council."

"Hello, Duke Willow, you are really young and promising." Duke Bolag said enthusiastically.

“I’m sure you know the reason why I invited you here this time. The nobles of the Viking Empire always have conflicts of varying sizes, and the Noble Council is the place where the nobles are judged for their right and wrong.

You can also think of the Noble Council as the court of the nobles. It is a place to maintain the dignity of the laws and regulations of our Viking Empire. If everyone does not follow the rules, then our Viking Empire will be in chaos. After all, no matter how bad the rules are, they are better than no rules, don’t you think? "Duke Bolag said kindly.

Feng Willow naturally understood why these people invited him here. He nodded and said, "Everyone, there was indeed a reason for declaring war on Marquis Enrest before. The reason why I didn't have time to wait for the decision of the Noble Council was because I didn't have time to wait.

As everyone knows, the amount of food consumed by hundreds of thousands of refugees every day is not a small amount, especially since the food needs to be transported thousands of miles from my territory, so the loss is also not a small amount.

If I delay any further, I cannot afford the loss of food. After all, this matter involves the life and death of hundreds of thousands of refugees. So I had no choice but to declare war on Marquis Enrest.

So I came here this time to explain to the Noble Council. I believe everyone can understand that in an emergency, we should take the necessary measures. Duke Bolag smiled and nodded. He understood that Feng Willow was giving the Noble Council a way out. If they refused to give in and turned against each other, it would not be good for anyone. After all, Feng Willow's strength was there.

The fact is that even if all the nobles in the Council of Nobles united together, they would not be able to do anything to Feng Willow.

"Do the councillors have any questions about Grand Duke Willow's explanation? If not, let's discuss how to deal with it," said Duke Bolag.

"This is about the lives of hundreds of thousands of refugees, and there is really no time to delay. I think Grand Duke Willow did nothing wrong. Marquis Enrest tried to make money from the national disaster. Although the means he used were legal, what he did was unreasonable. He was too greedy, but Duke von Willow has already received the compensation he wanted.

My idea is that both sides have done something wrong and should be reprimanded and punished, and they should be guaranteed not to make the same mistake again." Duke Winston suggested.

This was a typical case of both sides being punished, but all the nobles present knew that although Marquis Enrest was trying to take advantage of the situation, his actions were legal. This matter involved the nobles' legislative power in their own territories.

This right must be upheld by all nobles.

As for the reprimand, Feng Willow didn't care at all. He just regarded it as giving face to the Noble Council. It didn't hurt anyway, and no one would really come to reprimand him. It was just that he needed to say this when issuing the announcement, in order to maintain the face of the Noble Council, he could understand it.

The reason why Feng Willow came to the Noble Parliament was to meet with these great nobles in advance and to see who was suitable to be won over and who needed to be suppressed for the reform.

Feng Willow could see that among these great nobles, the younger ones were actually stronger, while the strength of the older nobles was mostly not that good.

In the past, due to the scarcity of extraordinary resources, the overall strength of the entire world was not strong. After the demon tide rose again, the resources were indeed much richer, but the elderly nobles no longer had the courage to make progress.

However, among these nobles who hold most of the power in the empire, the strongest is only Sequence 6. There are a few Sequence 7, and most are Sequence 8 and Sequence 9.

These nobles hold most of the extraordinary resources, but their strength is not very strong. Extraordinary resources are indeed helpful in improving strength, but they are not decisive.

With no shortage of resources, their strength was still so poor, which could only mean that these nobles were either weak or not working hard enough. Regardless of the reason, in Feng Willow's mind, these people were nobles who should be eliminated.

But specifically, it depends on whether these people are smart enough. If they are weak but smart enough and willing to stand on the side of reform, it is not impossible to let them stay, Feng Weiluo thought in his mind.

Kenlohag was also quick to act. Having decided to reform, he did not drag his feet. Three days later, Feng Willow received the news that a noble meeting was being convened.

Obviously, Kenlohag's convening of the meeting meant that he should have received the support of several great nobles. At least there should be no problem with land reform.

Sure enough, the meeting went very smoothly. Although many small and medium nobles disagreed, their opinions were not important. With the support of several major nobles, von Willow's land reform proposal was smoothly passed.

Feng Willow successfully gained the hatred of a group of nobles, but he didn't care. However, he had secretly remembered these people who hated him in his heart. When the nobles were purged in the future, they would definitely be included.

It was passed, but the next step is to implement the reform nationwide, and there will definitely be many twists and turns. These are not what Feng Weiluo can worry about. All he can do is wait until some people go too far and come out to clean them up.

Although the proposal was passed, Feng Willow found that the country's fortune did not improve. Perhaps only by ensuring that the people have enough food can the country's fortune be improved.

However, Feng Willow cannot go back now. He also needs to ensure that the reforms can be effectively implemented, which requires Saiya, his good wife, to deal with the nobles.

Feng Willow was used to the practice speed of National Fortune being ten times faster, and now he didn't need to practice with National Fortune, which made him very uncomfortable. He simply stopped practicing and studied the two sequence inheritances mastered by the Viking Empire.

In preparation for the future promotion of comprehensive sequencers, we will also start collecting and storing some low-level extraordinary resources from now on.

The two inheritance sequences mastered by the Viking Empire are Barbarian and Battle Mage. Barbarian is a melee sequencer, while Battle Mage is an all-around sequencer that can fight in close combat or attack from a distance. However, being all-around also means not being proficient. A jack of all trades, but a master of none.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the barbarians have the advantage at low levels, but as the levels increase, the combat effectiveness of the battle mages will slowly catch up, but it is only a catch-up and does not give them any advantage.

There is not much difference in the consumption of resources, but to become a Barbarian Sequencer, the resources needed are some magical plants for strengthening the body, while to become a Battle Mage Sequencer, magic crystals and some parts from low-level monsters are needed.

The value is similar, but Feng Willow thinks that as long as the right place is found, magic plants can be cultivated on a large scale and are renewable resources. Although magic crystals are not scarce now, the daily output of a gem mine is only a dozen or so.

Although the number of various magic mines has continued to increase with the resurgence of the magic tide, this kind of magic crystal mine is also very common in the spirit world. Therefore, the price is not high, but the value is not high because the current output is greater than the consumption.

Once the Viking Empire launches the National Sequencer Plan, the demand for magic crystals will reach an astronomical figure and the price will inevitably rise.

By that time, even if all the magic crystals of the entire Viking Empire were used to train civilian sequencers, it would not be enough. So he decided to train the barbarian sequencers of the Viking Empire on a large scale.

Before that, he still needed to find a place suitable for cultivating magic plants, so as to cultivate the several magic plants needed by the Barbarian Sequencers on a large scale. (End of this chapter)
