Why could aristocratic feudal kings with fiefdoms threaten centralization of power?

It is because of his long-term management of this fiefdom from generation to generation that he manages the fiefdom like an iron barrel. The nobles have extremely high prestige in the fiefdom and can mobilize sufficient resources at any time to ensure logistics and form an army.

If this goes on for a long time, it will become a situation where feudal lords and towns are separatist. At that time, it will be really difficult to get rid of it and I don’t know how to deal with it.

But now that there is a graded system, it will create a situation where the feudal lord has an iron-clad fiefdom and a flowing water.

The fiefdom you work so hard to manage may eventually become someone else's fiefdom...

Some people have already thought of this and asked directly: "Can't I not want a better fiefdom?"

"no."

Lu Zhengyuan shook his head and said: "According to the system agreement, once you meet the conditions, you will go to a better fiefdom to become its lord..."

"Then what can I gain by rotating like this?"

"yes!"

As the discussion deepened, they finally began to seriously consider it.

"This fiefdom belongs to you. You are the owner of this fiefdom. Except for the part turned over to the court, the rest is yours."

Lu Zhengyuan continued: "These are all explained in detail in the signed agreement."

"Of course, when you leave, you cannot take away all the wealth of the fiefdom at will, because you already have a better fiefdom..."

"Isn't this... too troublesome?"

"Who says it isn't?"

"Can I... not want to enfeoff the land?"

The speaker was a general from Tiance Mansion, who had been awarded a title for his meritorious service in previous wars.

As a military commander, he was already confused about grading and rotation... He just felt that having a fiefdom seemed to be a burden.

Too much trouble!

"no."

Lu Zhengyuan smiled and said: "General Wu probably didn't read the agreement carefully. If you don't give up the land, it will be a breach of contract. If you breach the contract, there will be liquidated damages. Isn't this something we can bear?"

"What?"

"Isn't it okay if I don't want a fiefdom?"

Wu Cheng immediately became anxious.

"Everyone, please be patient!"

"Don't be impatient!"

Lu Zhengyuan said loudly: "I think these are not issues you should consider... What you should be thinking about is how to run the fiefdom well!"

"Think about it, you were just an earl, but you can get the fiefdom belonging to the vassal king... At that time, you will be kings in name only!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were filled with tears.

This is indeed a great temptation.

"If...when that time comes, will there still be demands?"

"It's not very high, just operate normally."

Everyone present looked at each other and saw the fire in each other's eyes!

A fiefdom is not static. You may lose it, but you may also gain more!

The fiefdom that the earl can obtain is only the fifth level. If he can counterattack to the highest level, he will be comparable to the feudal king!

No, apart from having no reputation, he is already the real vassal king!

"And...fiefdoms can be passed down!"

Lu Zhengyuan said something at the right time, as if full of endless temptation, which made the fire in their eyes even stronger...

At this moment, most of them are no longer unhappy, especially those who have obtained fiefdoms through charity donations. They feel that the road ahead is smooth, and this can directly change the fate of the family!

"Everyone...are you satisfied with your fiefdom?"

Lu Zhengyuan said with a smile: "The atlas in your hands almost restores the geography and landforms of the fiefdom. It was drawn by the imperial court and invited national experts. The reason why the division of the fiefdom has been delayed for so long is because of the long-term exploration before. You must have paid attention to it.

Yes, the forests, minerals and other resources in your fiefdom have been marked on the atlas..."

“The chief job of the Fiefdom Management and Planning Administration is not to supervise, but to help!”

Lu Zhengyuan said: "We will provide you with some necessary help in the process of running the fiefdom, such as selling shovels at low prices to plow pears, providing gunpowder when mining, selling you cement at low prices, and assisting in the construction of rivers and canals..."

"Is this true?"

"Absolutely true!"

Lu Zhengyuan said seriously: "I am Si Mu, how dare I say empty words in front of so many people!

"

"You must have a big concern. Because the fiefdom is in the original Liang Kingdom, whether it will be affected by the war... and thus affect the evaluation!"

"yes!"

"I was just about to ask Mr. Lu. In the chaos of war, it's too late to escape for your life. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the fief to pass the assessment."

Lu Zhengyuan further explained: "If there is such a thing, the evaluation will naturally consider it as appropriate, and there will be no such thing..."

"The Daning army will protect your fiefdoms from infringement..."

He paused and then said: "And such a thing will not happen. In addition, I can tell you that this year, another province of Liang will be transferred to Daning. Your Majesty means that the entire Liang will eventually be sealed off!

"

"I wonder whose fiefdom Bianjing, the capital of Liang, will belong to?"

This sentence was quite tempting, and the eyes of everyone present became even redder.

Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Lu Zhengyuan smiled even more happily.

"You idiot!"

"That's so stupid!"

"Falling into a trap without knowing it!"
