Under this system, these ministers who hold real power are actually "agents" supported by the nobles, and they are just working people.
The nobles have their own industries, and use their agents to gain wealth and earn deposits to support new agents. At the same time, the agents will attack each other to attack the power behind each other.
There are also some emerging nobles. The ministers themselves broke away from the hands of the controllers, made great achievements and were granted the title of new nobles. They turned from chess pieces to chess players... Similarly, there are also some nobles who have no money and have become new nobles.
Loss of “support agent” power.
For example, Viscount Roseburg is like this - the former mayor of Frozen Water Port was an "agent" under the control of the other party, and he himself used to be the "agent" of the Crow Family... Roseburg and Frozen Water Port belong to
The entire "Northern Sea Territory" belongs to the Crow family.
However, because he was obsessed with rotten rituals, the family industry went bankrupt. In the end, Count Geraint, who was far away in the royal capital, took back this power and appointed Don Juan Geraint as the lord of Frozen Water Port...
He is the new agent in this area.
In addition to these, there is a new kind of aristocracy. It is the so-called "real aristocracy".
For example, Philip Shelley, the supreme judge of Noah's kingdom, also "happens" to be Earl Shelley, and his brother is Noah's chief of police. This is how their brothers financed themselves and certified themselves as "agents."
.
Rather, this is a more reassuring move... because they themselves become agents, which shows that they will not mess around.
This is another situation, but fewer nobles are willing to do this.
The reason is very simple...it's not that I don't want to, but that I don't have enough brain power.
There are very few smart people who can "hold real power and maintain normal administrative order when the three-eyed crow cannot catch pigtails" without delaying making money... And the most important thing is - they
Also afraid of death.
The three-eyed crow is merciless.
No one can guarantee that he will not make mistakes, and the eyes of the three-eyed crow are everywhere. It is safest to let the agent do some dangerous things, and you are only responsible for helping to provide the "deposit" and "compensation payment" behind the scenes.
Because what can make them stand firm in Noah will always be money rather than power.
——After all, in Noah, money can buy life.
This principle is also very simple. Once a fair "deal" is established, it is absolutely protected in Noah. On the one hand, it ensures that no one will break the contract and ensures the reliability of the secret. On the other hand, it also ensures the minimum
order.
If someone betrays the "entry contract" initially signed, the Silver Jue Church will be in trouble - because the "deposit" was initially paid, this is already a "transaction" during the ceremony.
In Noah, becoming an official was a way for civilians to rise to the top.
As long as they do a good job, then by the end of their term, they will be reborn. Their descendants will be able to receive a high-level education, have developed a high-level social network, and have savings at home, so they can be called a "family"
If you are strong enough, you may even be made a noble - for example, this is how Viscount Rossburg came to be.
And since they would take this route, of course they wouldn't be able to come up with that large amount of deposit.
In this case, the security deposit is actually advanced by the guarantor.
And the money is of course not given for free - their deposits are advanced by the guarantors, and they naturally have to listen to them. Some nobles with a little conscience...or in other words, nobles who have long wanted to do something "bad" will still
Write down in the contract, "In the event of imprisonment or death, how much pension will be given to his family".
This kind of "agent" can also be regarded as a stand-in doll that can be thrown out in an emergency. If forced to do so, he will commit suicide - and the guarantor will pay compensation.
The nobles behind it will only lose money as "guarantors" at most... As for the interest exchange contract privately signed between them and their agents, that is another transaction.
And this kind of agent rule is exactly the same as the eldest princess’s current behavior.
It brought the struggle going on underground into the open... and the royal family publicly "taxed" this behavior.
These "guarantee deposits" are the funds used to build roads and bridges in various places, and are also the money used for loans to supported enterprises. It maintains the normal operation of the kingdom to the greatest extent.
Plus the Silver Lord Church, which secretly monitors everything, and the "crow above the crown".
The entire Kingdom of Noah is a self-sufficient, huge, and well-disciplined giant enterprise.
Therefore, Henry VIII did almost nothing serious. Instead, he kept deliberately causing trouble, but he did not cause any direct or short-term damage to the kingdom.
Although Noah's entire policy tree has gone astray, the subtleties have been maintained very well.
This is precisely because each "agent" will try their best to maintain the area they are responsible for... not necessarily to solve the problem, but at least to fill the holes. At least nothing will happen during their term of office.
This will lead to Noah becoming very calm at least until he explodes completely.
The eldest princess had already begun to take over the country a few years before Henry VIII's death.
There is no doubt that she is the "heir" who knows the rules of this enterprise best. If the eldest princess Elizabeth succeeds, Noah will probably prosper for a period of time because of her rule... Of course, it may also be long after that, because
A bomb planted by Henry VIII was detonated.
It's a pity that the other two successors, Philip and Caveney, both cheated.
While Elizabeth was still increasing her control over the officials through her extremely skillful operations on the surface.
One of them approached the power behind the scenes from the ritual level, and the other approached the power monitor from the church level, both of which effectively bypassed the "special rules of Noah's Kingdom."
At this moment, Annan finally understood.
Why did Henry VIII let Elizabeth take over government affairs, and why did Henry get the support of the nobles...
That's why those nobles, and even the entire Silver Lord Church, don't think Elizabeth, the most powerful, can succeed to the throne. And Kaifuni doesn't care about this seemingly powerful enemy at all.
Annan looked pitifully at Elizabeth's back during her speech.
If we look at the entire Kingdom of Noah.
Elizabeth, the eldest princess, is obviously a member of the royal family. However, her thinking logic is not that of a "guarantor", but that of an "agent".
She is the most powerful tool in the entire Noah Kingdom. What she hopes and is trying to do is to hold all the power in her own hands... to bypass the nobles and directly control the "agents"; even
Just like controlling the agent, control the "guarantors" behind the scenes.
It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that Elizabeth can never be recognized by the nobles. The closer she is to the throne, the farther away she is from the throne.
