"It will be easy if most of the nobles abide by it." Muria tapped his fingers on the desk in front of him, "Each of your departments will submit a list of nobles who ignore the new tax law and do not implement the decrees I issued, and their families will be
The list of personnel, the location of the fiefdom, the troops and resources controlled are all registered."
Upon hearing Muria's request, all the leaders of these secret agencies took out a roster that had been prepared long ago, handed it to the chamberlain on the side, and placed it on Muria's desk for him to read.
Muria pulled out a few books from these thick stacks of books, flipped through them briefly, and found that the records above were very detailed. Even the lives of those rebellious nobles and everything they had done were introduced in detail.
"Yes, you are interested." Muria nodded with satisfaction, then pondered for a moment, thought about it, and planned to give them a little sweetness: "If you want your descendants to become better, let your family move to Sri Lanka.
Carret came to live.”
"Only by legal means." Seeing these intelligence chiefs who began to think thoughtfully, Muria added. Human beings walking in the darkness cannot overestimate their moral limits.
"Grand Duke Muria, most of the members of our secret organization have no heirs." A secret guard leader who had already guessed that Muria wanted to provide benefits to them said.
"If you don't have descendants, then if you don't have a mission, try not to go out and stay in the royal city. It will be enough for you to enjoy the benefits of being a descendant for a lifetime."
After Muria felt that what she said was very clear, she waved all the intelligence chiefs to step down, and then called her personal maid, Mia, the current palace housekeeper.
"Take someone to sort out the noble information above, and then hand it over to the twelve cloud giant commanders, and let them allocate it among themselves. Bring all these rebels to me and bring them to the royal city. If they resist, they can be killed on the spot.
."
Muria said murderously, for these nobles who do not implement their own new tax laws and do not implement their own decrees, Muria directly regards them as rebellions. How can you be polite to rebellions?
He is now the ruling Duke of the Lockman Kingdom and is its supreme ruler. All nobles and officials should execute the orders he issues, whether correct or not.
Instead of feeling that there is something wrong with the order he issued, or that it would harm your own interests, you can refuse to execute it and directly and blatantly confront it. Is this something you can do as a subordinate? Is it something you should do?
Regarding his new tax law, Muria knew that it was formulated by himself and many noble ministers in a short period of time based on the income data of civilians' various occupations. There must be imperfections. It still needs to be implemented based on the facts.
Adjustment.
For some noble lords, they can get more tax revenue by implementing the new tax law. But for lords who do not treat the people as human beings and make them extremely poor, the new tax law will significantly reduce their income, or even make them no income at all.
.
But is this a reason to disobey the king? No, even if there is no tax revenue, there are not many channels for the lord to obtain income from the natural resources in the noble domain, the caravan, the manor under his name...etc.
If you feel that your own interests have been harmed, you can disobey the king's order. But when the interests reach a certain level, can you directly betray your country and your king?
If you have any problems, you can talk to him. If you just ignore the tax laws, what does it matter if you don't enforce them? Don't you take him seriously? Do you think he is a golden dragon, kind and easy to talk to? You won't do anything to them?
Muria felt that the decrees he issued were quite reasonable and did not push them to the point where they could no longer survive. For some nobles who had good governance, Muria's new tax laws and even decrees had almost no harm to them.
.
Most of the nobles did not obey the two decrees that he ordered to weaken the rights of the nobles. It can be seen that these did not touch their core interests. Moreover, most nobles can tolerate it, why can't this small group

"Master Muria, after the unresisting nobles capture the royal city, what are you going to do with them?" Although she is nearly fifty years old, Mia's dragon veins have become stronger due to her close and long contact with Muria.
She still maintains the appearance of a young girl.
"Strip him of his title, abolish his surname, take back his territory, then hang him on a tree." Muria replied without changing his expression.
"Your Highness, if you do this, will other nobles..."
"Mia, you have to understand that they are ignoring the orders I gave you, young master. If I don't punish them the most severely and show a little kindness, other noble officials will follow suit. In the future, the orders I gave will become useless.
It’s a piece of paper.”
There was a hint of coldness on Muria's face, "In the end, I had the title of Grand Duke on my head, but there was no one to execute and obey my orders. At that time, I became a laughing stock."
"Master Muria, with ten powerful ancient dragons assisting you, the situation you mentioned is simply impossible to happen. Don't bully Mia for being ignorant. Mia has read no less books than the heirs of the royal family.
."
The blond dragon-born girl said coquettishly, "Besides, Master, I don't think you shouldn't execute these nobles. I just think that hanging them would make you appear too merciful and not have a deterrent effect on the other nobles.
"
"So, you just think the punishment I set is too light?" Muria twitched the corner of her mouth and asked with some embarrassment.
"hold head high!"
"Then let's do this. After the giants capture these rebellious nobles, you will be responsible for the execution and decide how they die. I only have one request, try to leave as complete a body as possible. I need to use them to scare some people who think I am very evil.
Kind people."
Muria looked at Mia with a gentle smile on her face. For this maid who had been following her since she was a child, Muria would naturally try to satisfy her innocuous needs.
"Master Muria, you are so kind." After hearing the rights that Muria promised her, Mia, a dragonborn with a perfect figure, hugged Muria who was starting to deal with complicated government affairs again.
"Okay, stop making trouble and sort out the list of these rebellious nobles." Feeling the two plump and round balls behind her, Muria took a deep breath, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, suppressed the restlessness in her body, and raised her hand to knock
He glanced at Mia, who rested her head on his shoulder.
"I know." Mia pursed her lips, a little dissatisfied, but in the end she took the pile of lists aside and sorted them out.
It was submitted by five different intelligence agencies, and the content, personnel, and level of detail were all different, so it needed to be compiled and summarized.
