After Xia He decided on the final war plan, he returned to Twin Cities and called all the nobles who defected to him to a meeting.

"Everyone, I plan to use military force against the Merryfin family."

There was a silence below. Everyone knew that the Duke was strong and powerful, but the Meriffin family had a profound foundation and was not an ordinary noble. After all, the Duke had risen too short.

"I hope you can join, and based on the resources you provide, the proportion of troops, etc., it will eventually give you corresponding benefits. I can even take out two worlds to share with you."

"Duke, I'll participate!" Someone responded immediately. In fact, Xia He would not get any benefits, and these people would also participate, but the help provided was not that great.

Xia He glanced at the count, smiled, and said, "I have dispatched a lot of troops. According to the real ratio, you may not be able to divide it. However, I will take out a fixed amount and distribute it according to the ratio between you. I will also build planting factories and alchemy factories in your territory, and produce some unique equipment that may not be that large, but at least it can increase your own war potential a lot."

"Duke, will this cause a great loss to you?" a small baron flattered.

"I can do it myself, but if you follow me and fight, you will definitely lose money, and the losses may be huge. So I will compensate you first so that I won't be resentful to me when I get to you."

"Don't dare!"

"Duke, we will never be so heartless."

Xia He smiled very gently and said, "Okay, you follow me, just take risks. Everyone knows that I have not been in a career for a long time and prefer to cause trouble. Everyone has put their lives and lives on me. If you follow me, you will offend many people. So this time, I want to support you."

"Sir, are there anything we don't know?" asked a marquis. He was the highest-ranking person here. Although his family was in a bad position, his foundation was still much better than other small nobles. He even had two worlds in his hands.

"I'm worried. It's absolutely abnormal on the Green Forest and the Leo Continent. It's possible that we will be attacked by them before we even attack the half-elves empire. Do you know why the Temple of Morning Light is so admonished, and I let them go, and they'll go?"

"The great prophecy in the Temple of Morning Light is the most powerful."

"That's right, the Temple of Chenxi mobilized its strength and went back to Green Forest to protect itself. The Temple of Chenxi is so strong, and they all ran back to take care of their nests. Do you think Green Forest's affairs are simple? In addition, there is another reason for you to follow me now, because I lack manpower and need the manpower in your hands."

The nobles laughed, and Xia He said again: "So you are helping us in time, so I am naturally grateful. I know why, I asked you to send troops and help, but don't mention the title?"

This time the nobles didn't understand. When other great nobles encouraged the small nobles to send troops, they would promise many benefits of titles, but the Duke of Asra never mentioned it.

"Because the titles are all empty. If the power balance between the royal family and the imperial nobles can be like me to you, His Majesty the Emperor can easily split the great nobles, let their power weaken from generation to generation, and eventually disappear. If I give you titles, I can get them back. What I want to give you is something I can't get back."

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully to what Xia He was saying.

"I want to establish a country, in which there are no nobles, parliaments, citizens, and civilians. Everyone's status is linked to their merits and to their ranks of citizens. The rank of citizens is their own, and merits can be passed on to future generations, and I have no right to obstruct them. All the merits you have obtained today can be left to future generations. This is the true inheritance."

"So, what is meritorious?"

Of course, the nobles knew the literal meaning of merit, but what Xia He said seemed to be not.

"For example, this time, the Baron Palau sent out a hundred people to help me fight and achieved results. Then some of the results belong to the Baron Palau, which can be converted into a number to represent the number of his merits. This merit is an inalienable part of the Baron Palau. Even if he rebels in the future and is killed by me, this merit can be passed on to his descendants."

The Baron Palau shrank his neck and everyone laughed, and his laughter was a little less harmonious. After all, the aristocratic system has lasted for too long, and it is difficult for everyone to accept a country without nobles.

"What are the benefits of not being a noble? It is the mistake of Baron Palau, and his children do not have to bear it. Unless his children are also involved in the rebellion."

"Duke, that, I..."

"Just take you as an example, you can't betray me." Xia He smiled.

Everyone laughed along, but the laughter was still a little less harmonious. Xia Hedao: "What are nobles? They are privileges, where do they come from?"

Everyone pondered, Xia Hedao: "Think about the hereditary nobles in the empire now. They all made contributions with Juno I, so they have their current status. The nobles have privileges, and these privileges have been passed down from generation to generation to their descendants. This is the meaning of nobles."

"Aren't the nobles, aren't they trying to protect civilians?"

Everyone laughed again, looking at the viscount talking, this guy was quite aristocratic.

"You follow me, today's war is your future privilege. Yes, there are still privileges in the world without nobles. And these privileges can be hereditary, and you are not missing anything."

"Isn't that just a change of name?"

"Of course different. The nobles have military power, but citizens do not. However, citizens can still operate business, open factories, and obtain some tax exemptions. Citizens have no people and are only responsible to the country. When the country needs a general, they will only choose from among citizens."

Xia He looked at the nobles present and said, "I told you these things before the war, and I don't want you to regret it. What I can guarantee is that the system I mentioned today can guarantee your interests. Everyone who is willing to give will get the benefits he deserves. I cannot make your contributions more just because I like someone here. If your descendants work hard, they can still gain more merits."

"Can this merit be replaced?"

Xia He glanced at the count and said, "Of course, you can exchange almost anything, and there are some things you can't buy for money. You can also exchange them with hard work. For example, forcing a person to become a legend."

Everyone immediately held their breath, silent!

Everyone understands that forced leveling cannot bring too strong combat power, but the life span has been improved.

Duke Asra means that if you have enough merits, you can exchange your life!

Yes, being a nobleman is good, but living for a hundred or two hundred years will still die.

"It's not just a matter of lifespan, but merits can also be exchanged for opportunities for practice. If your children want to obtain some skills, I will have a special college to buy learning opportunities with meritorious merits and teach and have a meeting."

"Then, citizens, it sounds like there can be no slaves..." a nobleman asked nervously.

"What do you want a slave? In a few years, I will be able to create a robot slave that looks like you to choose from. I don't have to eat, but I can charge it. In the future, robot slaves will be a symbol of status, and there are all kinds of models. Although I will abolish the aristocratic system, I will not abolish the family system."

As soon as this said, most people's concerns were dispelled.

Family is the key to inheritance. Nobles do have many privileges, but they also have responsibilities, and they are not literally meaningful.

If you fail to fulfill your aristocratic responsibilities, others can conquer you in this name.

When you are weak, someone will attack you.

However, merit cannot be calculated in this way, and others cannot take it away. If it cannot be taken away, a large number of merits can be cultivated and better talents will be cultivated by the family.

Although such a system will give many civilians a chance to reach the top, compared with their families, civilians do not have so many opportunities. Everyone here has ideas and is willing to follow Xiahe because they do not want to stick to the rules and continue to live a life of life.

Only here in Xiahe can they have the opportunity to rise.

"So, sir, what should we do with our land?"

"Land belongs to the country, but according to the citizenship level, you can own part of the land ownership and hand it over to the country after death, or pass the land to future generations by donating a certain merit value. This value will definitely not be too high, at least lower than if you want to be a legend."

"What if the merit is insufficient?" someone asked worriedly.

It is not a problem to reduce the land. According to the Duke's opinion, if you hand over the land, you can directly get meritorious. If you give up the population, you can also get meritorious. The land you leave for everyone must be no less than the area of ​​a castle.

"You can also buy it with money, but it costs a lot of money. In my opinion, it is worth it. This kind of land is your private territory, and you can play whatever you like in it."

It sounds like buying your own land, but it is worth it. In fact, they now have a considerable investment in their own land. If you want to have land, you have to invest.

"The harvest on your own land is tax-free." Xia He said another sentence.

This time, the laughing people became much more harmonious, tax-free, which was the most popular power of the nobles.

Of course, what everyone dislikes the most is that the Duke of Asra wants to gain absolute control, and from then on, everyone no longer has military power. However, military power is something that is needed to ensure the existence of a title. There are no titles, so why do you need military power? There will be robot warriors and structures in the future, so you cannot buy this.

Listening to Xia He analyzing the privileges of citizens bit by bit, the nobles' resistance was not so strong.
