Chapter 385 The Furthest Distance From the Throne
Under this system, these ministers who hold real power in their hands are "agents" supported by the nobles, and they only beat workers.
The aristocrats have their own properties, and use their agents to obtain wealth and earn deposits to support new agents. At the same time, agents will attack each other, thereby attacking the forces behind each other.
There are also some emerging nobles, the ministers broke free from the hands of the controllers, made great achievements and were enshrined as new nobles, from chess pieces to chess players... Similarly, there are also some nobles who have no money and Lost the power to "support agents".
For example, the Viscount Roseburg is like this—the former mayor of Frozen Water Port was the "agent" under the control of the other party, and he himself was the "agent" of the Crow's family in the past... Rose Fort and Frozen Water Port belong to The entire "Northern Sea Territory" belongs to the crow family.
However, because he was obsessed with the ritual of the rotting man, the family business went bankrupt. In the end, Earl Geraint, who was far away in the capital, regained this power and appointed Don Juan Geraint as the lord of Frozen Water Harbor... It is the new agent of this area.
In addition to these, there is a new aristocracy. That is the so-called "real power aristocracy".
For example, Philip Shelley, the supreme judge of the Kingdom of Noah, also "happens" to be Earl Shelley, and his younger brother is Noah's Chief of Police. This is funded by their brothers themselves and certified as "agents".
Rather, this is a more reassuring move... because they end up becoming agents themselves, which shows that they will not mess around.
This is another situation, but fewer nobles are willing to do it instead.
The reason is simple... It's not that I don't want to, but that I don't have enough brains.
There are very few smart people who can "hold real power and maintain normal administrative order when the three-eyed crow can't catch the pigtails" without delaying making money...and the most important thing is-they Also afraid of death.
The Three-Eyed Crow is ruthless.
No one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes, and the eyes of the Three-Eyed Raven are everywhere. It is safest to let the agent do some dangerous things, and only be responsible behind the scenes to help pay the "guarantee" and "compensation payment".
Because it is always money rather than power that can make them stand firm in Noah.
——After all, in Noah, money can buy life.
The principle is also very simple. Once a fair "deal" is established, it is absolutely protected in Noah. On the one hand, this ensures that no one will break the contract and guarantees the reliability of the secret. On the other hand, it also guarantees the minimum order.
If someone betrayed the "initiation contract" that was originally signed, the Yinjue Church would end - because the "guarantee deposit" was paid at the beginning, it was already a "deal" in the ceremony.
But to become an official, in Noah, it is a way for civilians to ascend to the sky in one step.
As long as they do a good job, they will be overturned when their term of office is over. Their offspring can receive high-level education, have developed a high-level social network, and have savings at home, which can be called "family". If the ability is strong enough, he may even be named a nobleman—for example, Viscount Roseburg came this way.
And since they will go this way, of course they will not be able to come up with that large deposit.
In this situation,
The security deposit is actually paid by the guarantor.
Of course, the money is not given in vain—their deposit is paid by the guarantor, so naturally they have to listen to them. Some aristocrats with a little conscience... or, in other words, nobles who have long wanted to do "bad things" will write in the contract "how much pension will be given to their families in case of imprisonment or death".
This kind of "agent" can also be regarded as a stand-in doll that can be thrown out in an emergency. As a last resort, suicide - and the surety pays.
The nobles behind the scenes would at most lose money as "guarantors"... As for the benefit exchange contract they signed with their agents privately, that belonged to another transaction.
And this kind of proxy rule is exactly the same as the eldest princess's behavior now.
It puts the underground struggle on the surface...and the royal family openly "taxes" it.
These "guarantee deposits" paid are the funds for building roads and bridges in various places, and it is also the money used for loans to supported enterprises. It maintains the normal operation of the kingdom to the greatest extent.
In addition, the Yinjue Church, which is secretly monitoring everything, and the "crow on the crown".
The entire Noah Kingdom is a self-sufficient, gigantic, and disciplined giant enterprise.
So Henry VIII did almost nothing serious. Instead, he has been deliberately making troubles, but he has not caused any direct and short-term damage to the kingdom.
Although Noah's entire policy tree has gone off track, the subtleties have been maintained very well.
This is precisely because the respective "agents" will try their best to maintain the area they are responsible for... not necessarily to solve the problem, but at least to fill the hole. At least not during his tenure.
This will cause Noah to become calm at least until the complete explosion.
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 indeed become prosperous for a period of time because of her rule...of course, it may be detonated long after that because of the bomb planted by Henry VIII.
It's just a pity that the other two successors - Philip and Kafni both cheated.
While Elizabeth was still superficially increasing her control over the officials through her skillful operations.
One of them approached the behind-the-scenes power from the ritual level, and the other approached the power supervisor from the church level, and they both effectively bypassed the "special rules of Noah's Kingdom."
At this moment, Annan finally understood.
Why did Henry VIII let Elizabeth take over the government affairs, why did Henry get the support of the nobles instead...
It is also why those nobles, and even the entire Silver Lord Church, do not think that the most powerful Elizabeth can succeed to the throne. And Kafni didn't care about this seemingly powerful enemy at all.
Annan looked pitifully at Elizabeth's back when she was speaking.
If you look at the entire Noah Kingdom.
Elizabeth, the eldest princess, is obviously a member of the royal family. But it is not the thinking logic of the "guarantor", but the thinking logic of the "agent".
She is the most powerful tool person in the entire Noah Kingdom. What she hopes, and what she is trying to do, is to hold all the power in her own hands...to bypass those nobles and directly control the "agents"; even like controlling the agents, control the "guarantors" behind the scenes ".
It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that Elizabeth will never be recognized by the nobles. The closer she gets to the throne, the farther she gets from it.
—but she didn't know anything about it.
