The original intention of establishing the lord system was a major decision made by the senior leaders of the Chinese Empire in order to maximize the use of private funds and power to explore foreign starry sky and obtain various development resources.

The human civilization thousands of years ago, just won the third spiral arm of the Milky Way, barely gained a foothold in the Star Sea World. In order to strengthen its own strength faster and ensure that human civilization can survive and reproduce safely under the coveted of many alien races! At that time, a group of top wise men began to deduce and analyze this issue related to the fate of the race under the commission of the Grand Consuls Conference!

Finally, after multi-party argumentation, the lord system stood out among many alternatives and received unanimous recognition and support from the senior leaders of the empire at that time, thus being vigorously promoted!

The subsequent historical development has successfully proved the rationality of the lord system. Human civilization can survive smoothly and grow and grow until it becomes one of the star sea overlords today. This system is definitely an indelible contribution!

However, now, as the empire's national strength becomes stronger and stronger, it is basically a rare enemy in the known starry sea world, so some of the sounds that have been suppressed in the past have gradually become louder.

Some social critics believe that although this system has made an unignorable contribution to the empire, its negative impact will become greater and greater as time goes by!

Just like now, according to the latest statistics before the year, the total area of ​​all overseas autonomous territories in the empire has exceeded that of the empire's local area by nearly ten times! This is not counting the star fields that have not been counted in!

Such a vast territory, unimaginable resources and wealth, are all in the hands of thousands of lords of all sizes! Is it good or bad to the stability and security of the imperial regime?

The lords' influence on the power of the empire's top leaders is beyond doubt! Even in the localities, in the parliament, and even in the Supreme Council, there are voices representing the lords, which is also the most unbearable thing for some big shots!

They were worried that one day, the great lords would unite and use their power and resources to bargain with the imperial central government to seek more illegal interests! Even rush to independence!

So now, it is necessary to amend the imperial constitution. The lord system should not be allowed to continue to exist. At least severe restrictions should be imposed. Reclaiming most of the rights in the hands of the lords is a practice that is in line with the long-term interests of the empire!

After all, these people's minds are still filled with the antique idea of ​​"All the kings under the world are kings; and all the kings are kings and ministers under the shores of the earth are kings." They believe that since they are imperial citizens, all the property in their hands is naturally owned by the state, including the territory in their hands!

Even if these benefits are earned by the lords for life and unimaginable price! They should also be handed over to the country! Only in this way can they truly contribute to the country!

Of course, no matter how powerful these people are, they dare not publicly challenge all the lords of the empire, so they can only slowly accumulate strength, manage step by step, and expand their influence!

But those high-sounding reasons are that they can't fool those who are interested! The real reason is nothing more than those who think that the lords have squeezed out their own influence and power space. Moreover, the imperial government has to spend a lot of money to expropriate those autonomous territories, which is not economically worth the loss and has put a heavy burden on the imperial finances!

They dare not explicitly claim to deprive the lords of their legal property, but they feel that these people should have enough ideological awareness to donate these territories to the country!

This view is obviously not accepted by the majority of lords. So some great figures made an incredible decision to the outside world: with the help of the hands of alien civilizations, suppress the power of overseas lords and take back the territorial property that originally belonged to the imperial government!

It was against this background that the tragedy in the northwest territory occurred, and many families of lords of all sizes died, and a large area of ​​star territory became a homeless object, which was reasonably nationalized by the imperial government!

And this is just the first step. According to the idea of ​​Li Zhongyin and others, it is best to "legally" accept most of the overseas territories of the empire into the central government by such means, which is the most ideal choice!

However, the impact of such behavior was too bad, which also attracted many big names to oppose. When the war against the Grosyavi Empire was launched, the accompanying "sacrifice" plan was rejected by Qin Qiyuan at the plenary meeting of the Supreme Council Group!

And after that, the plan was put on hold indefinitely!

There is no airtight wall in the world. After the incident in the northwest territory, some news gradually began to spread outside. The cold-blooded actions of some major figures at the top of the empire made many great lords furious, and they made up their minds to reveal the truth and bring the culprit to justice!

It was because of this that Shi Zhonglong from his territory came to the imperial capital from his territory to investigate the matter and made great progress! This caused panic among some big shots, and then he took the lead and wiped him out in the imperial capital!

After learning the inside story of the matter, Xiao Junling could only temporarily endure and wait for the opportunity because his strength was not enough.

By now, he has already established a powerful force and has enough confidence to show off with Li Zhongyin!

"...Young man," the head of the Li family stared at him with a cold look:

"I admit that you are very powerful and if you don't die in the middle of the journey in the future, you can reach the peak of the power of the empire! But now you are not qualified to challenge us at all!"

"No matter whether that proposal is reasonable or not, it is a decision passed at the Grand Consort! No matter how capable you are, can you fight against the Grand Consort?"

Xiao Junling said calmly: "I really cannot fight against the highest power center of the empire! But for the initiator of the tragedy, I can still make him pay the price he deserves!"

"Even if I can't do anything to you, at least it shouldn't be difficult to change the overseas territories of the Li family!"

Li Zhongyin sneered: "Don't think that your fleets are really powerful and can fight against all wealthy families! The consequence of not following the rules is to be enemies of the entire upper social circle of the imperial capital!"

"Then I want to see what kind of big shots will come to help you stand out when my fleet appears in your territory!" Xiao Junling said indifferently.

Li Zhongyin stared at him with a sinister expression for a long time before slowly saying: "Hisser Xiao Junling! I specially invited you to come here to discuss this time, with sincerity to solve the problem!"

"Based on your current achievements and strength, you are indeed qualified to be a member of this circle and demand equal treatment! So I can sincerely apologize for the hardships and injustice you have suffered and the death of your family, and give corresponding benefits and compensation!"

"As for the life or death of the people in the northwest territory, what does it have to do with you? I heard that you have set up a huge fund specifically for those orphans. Then I will invest a certain amount of money on behalf of the family, and this matter will be over!"

"Since you will definitely be the peak of the Imperial Power Pyramid in the future, you should understand that nothing is indispensable except yourself! All people or interests can be sacrificed and traded! As long as the price is right!"

Xiao Junling said sarcastically: "That's right! Dear former Grand Consul, anything can be traded! This is the basic common sense of being a superior!"

"It's a pity that I can't adapt to this cold-blooded and ruthless rule! At least not now! So, I still plan to do what I should do! No matter what you think, this is my choice!"

Li Zhongyin was silent for a moment and said, "Hisser Xiao Junling, you must understand that I am willing to reconcile now, not for those resources! Now, the weight of the chips in your hands is not as heavy as you imagined!"

Xiao Junling said calmly: "I understand that the first batch of cheap alternative raw materials have been taken out in the Li family's laboratory, so you still have hope of getting the market share of this warship!"

"But you will soon find that the Biluo Galaxy will have more and better resources to appear in the Chinese market! Moreover, in the future, new warships and various main combat equipment research and development plans, I wonder if you still have the opportunity to compete!"

Even though Li Zhongyin was very envious, his face couldn't help but twitch when he heard this. In fact, this is the problem he was most worried about!

The research and development of new materials has consumed a lot of resources from the Li family. Although it is expected to recover some of the costs in the future, compared with the other companies, they have suffered a lot of losses!

The Xuanyuan family and the Qin family have achieved huge profits and can invest more resources in the research and development of new main combat equipment! This gap will only become larger and larger as time goes by. If the Li family does not take a different approach to break the deadlock!

No matter whether he dislikes Xiao Jun and Lingshun, this is a problem that cannot be avoided at all! For the future of the family, he could only bow to this young lord!

"If you are willing to forget that thing! Then the Li family will become your most determined ally!" Li Zhongyin said in a deep voice:

"I, or we, will use all the family's connections to help you enter the ranks of the great consul in a few years, and even get the position of Qin Qiyuan Road! How about it? This is the greatest sincerity we can show!"

Xiao Junling was slightly stunned and said, "You? What do you mean is that you also represent those big names this time?"

"Of course, isn't your goal just to clean up us together?" Li Zhongyin stared at him and said:

"But you have to understand that we were once the peak of the empire's power, and the rich connections are far beyond your imagination. If you want to uproot us, even Qin Qiyuan doesn't have the ability, let alone you?"
