I, Altria, only want to rule China.

"Yes, I want to rely on my own abilities to conquer a territory of my own, just like my father did when he was young." Long Luxin said seriously with a small expression on her face.

"Is that so?" Leah lowered her head and began to think.

Although there are still many demons and monsters left in Britain, the humble king Vortigern, who is really dangerous to Long Luxin, has died of old age. So the most powerful ones are those guys who originally belonged to the Knights of the Round Table, right?

Chapter 211 Britain Needs Reform

Half of the Knights of the Round Table no longer existed after Morgan married her, so as for Long Luxin, the remaining ones were not very dangerous as long as she didn't meet Lancelot.

As for Lancelot, it is hard to say whether he is in Britain, after all, his fiefdom is in Frank.

Besides, there are 10,000 soldiers who can protect her, so the danger should not be great.

Since Long Luxin doesn't want her help and wants to conquer Britain on his own, that's not impossible.

The Britain that Long Luxin conquered with her own hands is different in nature from the Britain that she inherited from her father.

"Okay, I agree to your request. The affairs of Britain are left to you." After Leah thought about the situation clearly, she nodded.

"Thank you, father~" Long Luxin hugged Leah happily and buried her head in Leah's chest, taking advantage of her a little.

"Well, even so, I still hope that you can be more careful when fighting, pay more attention, listen more to the opinions of those generals, and don't be careless about this, okay?" Leah said.

"Don't worry, father. I won't joke about the lives of our soldiers." Long Luxin nodded.

"In that case, then you go back. I will discuss it with others tomorrow." Leah said.

"Well, I want to sleep with father tonight. Is that okay?" Long Luxin said embarrassedly, scratching the hem of her skirt.

"Then let's sleep together." Liya thought about it and there was nothing wrong with sleeping with her daughter. After all, it would be difficult for Long Luxin to see her again in the future.

"Great." Hearing Liya's agreement, Long Luxin shouted happily.

She slept with her father when she was very young. When she became a little more sensible, she was separated from her father and has been taken care of by her grandmother ever since.

She wanted to sleep with her father, but her father was firmly occupied by her mother, so the time she and her father slept together could be counted on one hand.

Tonight was a relatively comfortable dream for Long Luxin.

The next day, the father and daughter appeared in the palace, but the prince, who was the king, did not sit on the throne.

Leah sat in this position very naturally. Although the prince was a king, he was only a kind of prince. He could not be compared with the emperor. In front of the emperor, he could only be a subject.

Faced with this situation, no one was dissatisfied. After all, Leah's identity was announced by someone with ulterior motives, and everyone present knew that Leah was the daughter of King Uther.

Originally, King Uther was the most powerful king in Britain, and all the princes were subject to King Uther, so it was reasonable for Leah to sit on it.

Leah had no intention of hiding her identity. Since almost everyone knew it, she directly announced her identity to them and called herself the emperor of Wu State.

Leah immediately announced everything that would happen next, such as that she would return to her country in a while, and that everything here would be left to her daughter, Long Luxin, to handle, and she would give Long Luxin all the support she needed.

After announcing these things, Leah let Long Luxin handle these things, while she watched from the side to see how Long Luxin could handle them.

Although Morgan had taught Long Luxin how to handle government affairs, the national conditions in Britain and China were different, and more considerations needed to be made when dealing with every matter.

The issue of the people alone is enough to give Long Luxin a headache for a long time, because in Western Europe, the sale of slaves is legal.

If she wants to develop Britain, she must first abolish the slave law, but there are many people involved in this, and who doesn't have a few slaves?

This is just like dividing the land, or even more serious than the land issue.

After all, the land still needs people to cultivate it in order to harvest it, and some of the food needs to be distributed, but for slaves, no matter what they do, everything they have is yours.

Long Luxin thought for a moment and felt that she should discuss these matters with her father.

"Slave, this is indeed a very serious problem." Leah nodded, and then said, "I will talk about this matter tomorrow."

Leah thought about it and decided that since she would be going back soon anyway, she might as well help Long Luxin attract some hatred, which would save Long Luxin a lot of trouble in the future.

The next day, Liya appeared in the palace. She looked at the group of noble officials below and asked, "Now the country is in a state of disrepair. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

A group of nobles rolled their eyes. They were just eating and waiting to die. What good strategy could they come up with?

Seeing that no one below was speaking, Leah spoke.

"Since you have no idea, let me speak first. First, we should start by revising the laws. The foundation of governing a country lies in the law. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Maybe you have committed some crimes before. I can forgive you for the past, but if you commit the same crime again in the future, your crime will be increased and combined with your previous crimes.

Liquidation!

Liya said in a cold voice, causing the nobles below to shudder. Only then did they realize that King Uther's daughter seemed a little difficult to deal with?

"Your Majesty, I don't think this is appropriate. Wouldn't it make those animals disrespectful of the powerful?" Just after Leah announced the rule, a noble stood up.

"Comparing the people to animals?"

There was a strong murderous look in Leah's eyes as she looked at the person who was speaking. After seeing the extremely fierce murderous look in Leah's eyes, that person suddenly closed his eyes and fainted.

"Take this guy out and find out what he has done wrong. Who still thinks that civilians are animals?" Leah gave the officials below a faint smile.

She is going to adopt the policy of killing the chicken to scare the monkey. Reform is something that must be done with courage and decisiveness, otherwise it will only revive and ultimately fail.

However, no one dared to look at her smile, because at this moment, the people below remembered that more than a thousand soldiers who were killed at the city gate seemed to have died because they killed the civilians in a village.

In this world, the lives of soldiers should be far more important than those of civilians. In the eyes of most nobles, civilians are pariahs and livestock. However, now the rules have been reversed by the other side, and it has become the so-called supremacy of civilians. What a joke!

But no one dared to raise any objections. The reason was simple. Liya had an army that was unrivaled in the world. No one dared to touch Liya's tiger whiskers. The fate of the previous few people had proved that the other party would definitely not show mercy in this matter.

Chapter 212: Leah Wants to Be a Tyrant

"Secondly, after decades of civil war, our country has become devastated. Reclaiming our territory is urgent, but the people are in even greater need of recuperation. In this situation, we should relax our policies towards the people, so we should start with tax cuts."

In fact, a better way is to divide the land, but this matter cannot be rushed, because what Leah is going to announce next is more serious than dividing the land. The land division can be dealt with later.

The officials wanted to say something, but thinking of the fate of the previous ones, they decided not to say anything. Anyway, this point did not affect their interests too much, but the country's interests were lost. Since the civilians had less taxes, they were more relaxed, but there was less oil and water.

But these people don't know what it means to boil a frog in warm water. Leah wants to slowly erode their interests bit by bit, and by the time they realize it, it will be too late.

"Third, it is about the issue of slaves. From now on, Britain will liberate slaves. In other words, slaves are no longer slaves. They have the same rights as civilians and enjoy the country's policies."

"No, Your Majesty! If we do this, wouldn't it make all the ministers feel disappointed? If this happens, everything will be in chaos!"

"Yes, yes, Lord Stan is right. If this happens, the country will be in chaos." Another minister also stood up.

After Leah said this, some ministers finally couldn't help but jump out. This really concerned their interests. Which minister didn't have slaves at home?

There are dozens at least, hundreds, or even thousands at most. If Leah agrees to this law, these slaves will be free again.

And they could no longer dispose of the slaves at will, which had completely shaken the collective interests of the nobles. It can be said that almost everyone who had slaves at home could not help but make a request.

"Then, my lords, I would like to ask, what kind of trouble will happen in the country? Are you ministers planning to rebel openly because you see your property being infringed upon?" As Leah spoke, her eyes looked at them coldly.

It was precisely because of the existence of slaves that these ministers dared to rebel against their superiors. As long as there was a leader who initiated a rebellion, the slaves would become their private soldiers, which would do more harm than good to the country.

Therefore, whether it is for the benefit of the slaves or the country, Leah believes that slave emancipation must be implemented.

Why was Mordred able to muster so many soldiers during his rebellion in the late British Empire? It was obvious that Artoria had taken most of the country's soldiers with her when she went to war. Undoubtedly, the slaves under the nobles who supported Mordred played a big role.

These people had no idea that Leah would speak out their concerns directly. Their faces turned pale with fear, and they all knelt down in front of Leah who was sitting in the upper seat, shouting, "I dare not, I dare not."

"Humph, you better not dare."

Liya snorted coldly, and the murderous aura on her body met them, and she said coldly: "What is the interest of you people? Originally, I could have executed all of you for the crimes you committed. What about the nobles? Do you think that we can't govern this country without you? Don't laugh to death, there are no nobles under your position.

You know how many people are watching you, and they wish you would die sooner."

The officials were stunned for a moment, as if they had not expected Leah to say that. What Leah said next made them even more stunned.

"You just need to know that everything in this country belongs to me. So, when I need your interests to save the interests of the country, you should do it. In this way, you may still be able to stand here and see the sun rise tomorrow. Of course, if you are not convinced, you can also resist me. I just don't know if you have done it.

I have that ability."

What Leah said was a complete declaration of a tyrant, but who would dare to do that?

You know, the blood of thousands of soldiers who died at the city gate a few days ago has not been cleaned up yet.

"Since everyone has no objection, then it is decided. You'd better act quickly. I will only give you three days. If you find that anyone still has slaves at home, don't blame me for being rude. Of course, I will post this notice on the notice board in the city, so don't make it difficult for me when the time comes."

After saying that, Leah gestured to the guard beside her.

"Your Majesty has finished his announcement. If you have something to say, please come back. If not, please go back." The guards shouted to the officials.

Everyone looked at each other, shook their heads in unison, and walked out of the palace with heavy hearts. There seemed to be no way for them to sleep tonight.

Only when only some officials close to Liya were left in the palace did Liya smile bitterly and say, "It probably won't be peaceful tonight. I just don't know how many people will get involved."

"Father, what do you mean?" Long Luxin looked puzzled.

"Assassination! After all, as long as I die, these new laws will be over." Leah smiled disdainfully.

"They dare!" Long Luxin's face was suddenly filled with murderous intent.

"There is nothing that those people are afraid of, but Your Majesty, by doing this... you are almost standing against the nobles." Bedivere thought for a moment and said

"I know, but in this world, the common people are the foundation of the country. Of course, this doesn't mean that the nobles are useless. After all, they are the pillars of governing the country. We can't rely on common people who can't even read, right?"

Leah said

"But if the nobles do bad things, it will also be destructive to the development of the country. That's why I excluded those people from the beginning. After all, not all nobles are bad."

As Leah expected, those nobles sent people to assassinate her that night, but it was impossible for them to succeed and they only exposed themselves.

So when they went to court early the next morning, the nobles found a row of men in black kneeling at the palace gate. As expected, these people were motionless and had obviously been dead for a long time.

Looking at the group of assassins, some noble officials felt puzzled.

Some people are already secretly nervous and their hands and feet are trembling, but having come this far, there is no way back. Doesn't this just prove that they have something to hide?

But no matter whether they go back or not, it’s useless because Leah has already obtained evidence of their involvement.

So, with the help of a group of officials, all the nobles who participated in the assassination last night were pulled out by Leah, and then dragged into the prison in front of a group of nobles, to be executed on a later date.

This is also how Leah expressed her determination to the officials that the liberation of slaves is imperative.

And the first human rights reform in this western continent quietly began in Great Britain.

So, on the fourth day after Leah issued the announcement, the first human rights reform in the Western continent began on this ordinary morning.

Chapter 213: Emancipation of Slaves

In the urban layout of Baiyang State, there are some places near the river where slaves are piled up. Why are they piled up?

Because that place is the largest slave trading market in Baiyang Kingdom, there are so many slaves there, you can see all kinds of slaves here, because it is a slave market, so it is not surprising to see any slaves here.

The iron gate opened, and an officer covered in blood walked in. The slaves in the darkness just watched it all numbly.

Or they retreat further, as if they were afraid that the sunlight outside would reveal their position, because they didn't know what was waiting for them behind.

There's so much blood on this officer... Is this another slave who was beaten half to death?

No, it might take a lot of people to cause this? Looking at the blood on the officer's body, the slaves shrank back in even greater fear.

Although slaves are the property of those old men, they are divided into valuable and worthless ones. Slaves like them can only do some labor work and are considered worthless. If you want to do something that requires sacrificing your life, then they are the best choice.

"Come out, you are free!" the officer suddenly said.

"Freedom, what is that?" The slaves suspected that they had heard it wrong and stared blankly at the officer who was speaking.

"I say you are free, you are no longer slaves, no one can whip you or take your lives at will, you are already free citizens!" The officer looked at the slaves and said loudly.

"This, that... Sir? You just said that we are not slaves anymore. Does that mean we can get out of here...?" At this time, an old man sitting in the innermost part stood up tremblingly and looked at the officer in disbelief.

"Yes, you are no longer slaves, come out." The officer nodded to the old man and moved aside, revealing the outside world.

"Can you tell us what happened? Why are we suddenly not slaves anymore?" At this time another man among the slaves stood up, his words full of doubt and disbelief.

"You are lucky. Our Majesty is a benevolent and great emperor. She intends to free the slaves so that there will be no more slaves in this world. She wants to give equality to everyone so that the nobles will no longer be able to bully the common people at will."

"Your Majesty is so great that I don't know how to express my excitement. All right, you can come out now, and you will be able to see His Majesty then."

The slaves walked out of the cells half-believingly, and then they saw something: thousands of slaves in a huge square.

"Okay, you guys go there too. Do you see where it is? That's our Emperor. She will have something to say in a while, and after that you will be completely free."

The slaves looked in the direction the officer pointed. Usually that was where the noble old men stood, but now it was full of soldiers and some slave owners in bright clothes and covered in blood. They were no longer as majestic as usual, but instead lay there like dead dogs.

But... maybe... we will really be free again!

Seeing the miserable plight of those noble lords, the slaves suddenly felt a sense of certainty.

"Your Majesty, all the slaves have been rescued and are in this square." Soon after, Leah received a report from the soldiers.

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work." Leah smiled at the soldiers.
