A few days later, two large carriages appeared outside the Rolling Rock Canyon. Gonzalo Swift Wind showed Prell's warrant and led the two carriages into the valley.
Deep in the Gogo Mine, Prell opened his arms: "Ah, welcome to my friends, the two brothers Jikniku and Binznaku. How have you been doing lately?"
Jikniku was still wearing clothes that were hard to describe, and that even made people question his so-called fashion taste. This time, he was wearing a bright red linen shirt, and a jacket covered with all kinds of strange shapes.
A bright white jacket with patterns, a pair of black trousers with shiny vertical stripes, and a big straw hat full of Booty Bay tropical style.
His younger brother Binznaku was much normal, wearing a light gray fisherman's hat, a black coat and trousers, standing politely behind his brother.
"Ah, thank you for the business you introduced to us last time. We made a small amount of money from the cute and fashionable harpies. Of course, our tauren friends also bought a batch of fabrics from us. Listen.
He said that you have become the chief of the kobolds. As a thank you, my brother and I sent a small congratulatory gift. Please accept it!"
He and Binznaku respectfully and carefully carried a long wooden box. Prell opened it and saw that it was a dagger inlaid with a piece of turquoise. He smiled and said: "I invite Gonzalo
We invite you here to trouble you with something, are you willing to help us?"
Jikniku said cautiously: "If it is within our capabilities, we will do our best!"
Prior pondered for a moment: "What do you think of the Venture Capital Corporation? What do you think of their pioneering colonization of Kalimdor?"
The two green-skinned dwarfs looked at each other, and Jikniku said: "For such a large company that monopolizes the mining and forestry trade, or in other words, they will soon become a chaebol, we two small businessmen
I don’t have any opinion. But if you give us time, I think my brother and I may not be able to become as wealthy and powerful as them!”
Prell couldn't help but applaud: "Okay, I like people who are so ambitious. I heard that the goblins have five trade princes, representing five powerful consortiums. But Mogul, the president of the venture capital company,
Razdunk can only be regarded as a trading giant, but he has not yet reached the level of a trade prince.
The Kingdom of Thresh that I established currently lacks talents who understand finance and trade. Are you willing to accept the position of Minister of Finance and Trade of the Kingdom of Thresh?"
Jikniku thought carefully for a while: "Then which one of our two brothers is your candidate?"
Prell did not answer directly, but asked: "Why do you ask that?"
Jikniku said: "The relationship between our two brothers has always been very good, so I don't think we should hold important positions at the same time. If you choose me, then Binznaku will still be a businessman; and vice versa!" Binzina
Ku nodded in agreement.
Prell once again looked at these two goblin small businessmen with admiration. In fact, he saved the two brothers for the first time. He admired these two goblins for daring to cross the continent from the Eastern Kingdom without doing any business investigation in advance.
The Endless Sea came to another strange continent to engage in trade. This courage was not something ordinary people could achieve.
He asked tentatively: "So, Jikniku, are you willing to accept the position of Minister of Finance of Thresh Kingdom?"
Jikniku did not answer immediately, but said: "I got reliable information from some friends. The venture capital company relied on the kobolds to dig a mine in the Windy Valley of the Stonetalon Mountains, and Rolling Rock Canyon has always been
The venture capital company acquired an important ore producing area in the Kalimdor continent.
Now that you have established a kingdom belonging to the kobold race and want to find a goblin to be the minister of finance, it is obvious that you are no longer satisfied with the monopoly of low-priced ore trade with venture capital companies and want to completely control Rolling Rock Canyon.
In your own hands.
So, are you going to start a trade war with venture capital firms?"
Prell secretly cursed "f*ck". He felt that he still underestimated the small businessman in front of him. Zikniku had a keen business sense. From this point of view, Binznaku's trust in him was not just because of Zikniku.
The identity of Niku’s brother.
Lexa came over and whispered: "This goblin is really smart!" Prell smiled and said: "Yes, the goblins are all too smart!"
He felt that since Jikniku had seen this, he might as well not hide it and said: "I don't like the oppression of indigenous races, especially kobolds, by venture capital companies, so I have always planned to remove them from the
Expelled from the Gale Valley. So, most of your inferences are correct."
Jikniku was slightly surprised: "Are you going to be an enemy of venture capital companies?" Prell nodded: "That's right!"
Jikniku asked more cautiously: "You have told us all these things. If we brothers don't agree, what will you do?"
"There are two mines in Rolling Rock Canyon. If you don't agree, in order not to reveal my thoughts and ideas, then you will have to be a miner for the rest of your life! I admire you very much, so I won't kill you!"
"Haha!" Jikniku laughed: "If you can meet my small request, I am willing to accept your appointment!"
Rexxar frowned. He felt that this goblin did not consider his own safety at all and was still bargaining. Prell waved his hand: "Say your request!"
"If you can appoint me as a baron, I will take overthrowing venture capital companies as my biggest goal and only pursuit in life!"
Prell pinched his chin. He was probably the only person besides the two goblins who could understand Jikniku's request.
"The Goblin Island of Kezan is not a unified country. Based on Kezan Island, they have established a conglomerate of large and small companies and built towns all over the world. According to the culture of the goblins, they use the company's
Strength is measured by scale and the financial resources an individual controls. Below the five trade princes are several trade giants, and below that are the barons.
It is said that Gadgetzan, the goblin city in the Tanaris region to the south, belongs to the Steamwheedle Group. The mayor of Gadgetzan, Marson Noggenfogg, obtained the title of baron with his personal financial resources."
Prell explained to everyone around him, and Jikniku kept nodding his head, and then said in praise: "You know so much!"
Obviously, the "Baron" that Jikniku wants is not the same thing as the traditional "Baron" of the goblins. The traditional "baron" of the goblins is a title obtained based on the financial resources an individual has and the corresponding strength he has obtained.
, and the "baron" that Jikniku wanted was actually the traditional noble title of the human kingdom.
Although the literal names of the two are the same, Prell did not bother to check whether the goblins learned to imitate humans. He now had to consider a problem: the Kingdom of Thresh does not have a title or honorary system.
If a precedent is rashly set because of Jikniku, this matter will be difficult to handle. The original system of the Kingdom of Thresh is not complicated, and it can be regarded as different from the harpy matron system and the quilboar chief system.
The tauren race is on par.
So Prell said cautiously: "There is no precedent for knighthood in Thresh Kingdom. In fact, our system has not considered this for the time being, so I need to discuss it with the elders before making a decision."
Jikniku bent down and saluted: "I am not threatening you, the great chief. Having a noble title means a lot to us brothers. I hope you and all of you can understand."
He looked at the crowd again and said without being humble or condescending: "Then please allow me and my brother to retire first, and ask us to sell the goods we brought. I believe the kobolds are willing to accept the goods we bring!"
Prell was speechless and waved: "Okay, you can sell your goods in the valley. Gonzalo, please take care of your two goblin friends!"
Gonzalo nodded and led Jikniku and Binznaku out of the Gogo Mine. Prell looked at everyone in Rexxar: "Are we going to implement a title system?"
But Prell’s friends and some elders in the elders’ group don’t know what the title system is. The orc race where Rexxar comes from implements the big clan system, and the pandaren race where Lao Chen comes from implements the system of mastering the armed forces.
The United Sect system of strength, other indigenous races have almost no concept of titles and honors.
On the other hand, Gonzalo Xunfeng said hesitantly: "I heard that the elves had implemented a title system in ancient times, but I don't know much about their political culture. What do the chiefs think?"
Prell thought for a while and said: "Nobleships are titles of different levels awarded to individuals who have established special merits to highlight their social status and enjoy different treatments according to their levels. We can learn from the human countries of the Eastern Kingdom Continent and
The titles are simply divided into five categories: duke, marquis, uncle, son and male.
The honors system represents the military merit system. We already have a system of rewards, punishments, promotions and demotions for officers and soldiers, so there is no need to consider this.
In short, there are generally three types of titles. One is inheritance from generation to generation. For example, a certain duke, his descendants with the right to inherit can continue to inherit the title of duke. As long as they do not break the law or make mistakes, they can continue to inherit it; the second is inheritance by demotion.
, the first generation is a duke, and the second generation is a marquis. Each successive generation will be demoted by one rank. This is to encourage the inheritors to continue to make meritorious services and ensure the title they enjoy.
The third type is the title transfer, which only affects the person who obtains the title, and his descendants have no inheritance rights. I would like to hear everyone’s opinions, which system should our kingdom implement? "
Lexa thought for a while and said: "The second one, I think the second one is very suitable." Lao Chen said cautiously: "I support the third one. In fact, I don't even agree with the title system. Any race
All individuals are equal, and the title system destroys this natural equality."
Tamra and Gonzalo also supported Lao Chen's view and felt that the third type of "Liujue" was more suitable. Nineel, on the other hand, cautiously expressed his support for the first type.
His opinion was also supported by many former elders of Gogo Cave. Obviously, these kobolds did not dare to resist Prell, so they began to learn and understand the true meaning of politics without any teacher.
As for the others, they rarely express any opinions on politics. Herta said honestly: "Great Chief, you still have the final say!"
Prell said: "My idea is that the knighthood of Thresh Kingdom does not enjoy additional superior treatment, but only enjoys the original treatment matching the official position of the knight. The knighthood is only an honorary title and cannot show its transcendent social level.
, let alone enjoy various privileges beyond those of ordinary civilians.
Therefore, I think it is better to adopt the method of floating knights and avoid the existence of the privileged class as much as possible! "
Although Prell's original intention of establishing the Council of Elders was to brainstorm ideas, the world of Azeroth obviously lacked a sufficient democratic atmosphere. After Preel expressed his opinion, Rexxar no longer insisted and was the first to express his opinion.
support.
So his opinion became the final decision, and Nineel and other kobold elders were a little disappointed. Although they did not really understand the meaning of the title, it was obvious that they had gradually become enlightened in politics.
Regarding the law on the title system, everyone discussed it all afternoon and finally confirmed it in written form. The Thresh Kingdom’s first law on the title system is not complicated. The titles are divided into five levels, and they are awarded according to the merit.
Nobility is not hereditary, and it has no seat, no real title, and no land. It is just an honorary title, which is very different from the noble status of the human kingdom.
Then the two brothers Jiknikku and Binznaku were summoned again to the depths of the cave.
