Lord of Rot

Li Qi didn't care about the expressions of those nobles.

The vast majority of nobles have already accepted their fate and are even looking forward to it.

It seems that some small rights have been lost, but more things have been gained in exchange.

In Dongxia, which has the best economic conditions, except for some big nobles, most of the small nobles are the same as the porcupine collar five years ago. The annual surplus is even less than 1 gold day, which is not as good as the caravan merchants.

But as long as they can get this opportunity, their income will at least increase dozens of times, and their wealth will be visible to the naked eye.

Especially the earliest second sons of the nobles who followed him, most of them did not have titles or territories, but they all found good jobs.

Some are in charge of water power, and some are responsible for road paving, etc. These are all top priority tasks and have low weight.

At Leonie's strong request, many people were arranged to go to major cities in Giant Foot to carry out infrastructure construction. Even Leonie had to speak nicely when she saw them.

Smart people are already looking for ways to add people to the team, hoping to catch the fast ship of Li Qi, but the part that didn't react... is normal for being eliminated.

Times have changed and sacrifices cannot be avoided.

The giant wheel of history cannot just grind dirt, but occasionally there should be some losers to show off the correct direction.

"The war is not over yet, the orcs are still watching us eagerly from the other side of the sea, spying on our fertile land, and greedily eyeing our property!"

And there are not only enemies on the other side of the sea, but also contacts between material planes are becoming more and more frequent.

This continent has never been truly peaceful.

"We can't just surrender, and we don't have to surrender!"

Li Qi opened his hands, and the three giant dragons spread their wings together.

Hundreds of thousands of people have begun to boil.

"emperor!"

"emperor!"

"emperor!"

The sound was so loud that it even overshadowed the roar of the dragon.

……

"Emperor! Emperor!"

The young man looked excitedly at the figure riding the dragon away. He raised his fist high and shouted at the top of his lungs to vent his excitement.

Among the hundreds of thousands of people, except for a small group of nobles with livid faces in the stands, most of the others didn't care at all what Li Qi meant by the emperor.

I haven't suffered any losses, and maybe my life will get better and better.

The young man watched the three-headed dragon break into the black clouds, and then the clouds and fog dispersed, and the sky became clear.

Eyes red.

There were people nearby shouting at the top of their lungs until they were dizzy and passed out.

After he came to his senses, he continued shouting at the top of his lungs.

Suddenly, a chill came over me.

The young man looked at the man with long pointed ears standing beside him.

That kind of killing chill comes from the other party.

"It's still here!" The other party murmured to himself, then suddenly turned his head: "Boy, those over there shouldn't be nobles, right? Who are they?"

The man with long pointed ears pointed into the distance.

The young man looked in the direction of his finger: "That seems to be someone who has made outstanding contributions. Lord Ulti is inside!"

"Urti?" The man was confused.

"Look at the sky!" The young man pointed at the sky: "Have you seen those eagles? They are all raised by Lord Ulti!"

His face was full of adoration.

Ulti's story has also been mentioned in villain books, from when he was rescued as a slave, and then he got a chance to change his destiny by relying on his horse shoe repair skills, to when he heroically saved people, and finally got The lord's reward is to raise the Hippogriff.

From a slave to a big man now, Ulti is the object of admiration and envy of countless people.

After Li Qi left, the Hippogriff team performed a flying performance.

Although not as powerful as the dragon, the eagle looks heroic and powerful, and its appearance is much better than that of the dragon. Both men and women find it beautiful when they see it.

"What outstanding contributions can an elf make?" The man with long pointed ears frowned.

The boy quickly pulled the girl and squeezed out of the crowd. It wasn't long, but they were so squeezed that they were sweating profusely.

"I feel like there's going to be big trouble!" The young man held his knees and gasped, "I feel like there's something sinister about me. Maybe he wants to kill some adult!"

This is a crisis. To paraphrase Ulti’s life experience, crisis = danger + opportunity!

The girl hesitated and said, "Have you noticed?"

"what?"

"He has long pointed ears." The girl stretched out her hand and pulled on her two ears: "Miss Bailu's ears are also pointed."

"Are they relatives?"

The girl couldn't give a definite answer, but she just said they had something in common: "They all have beautiful silver hair, which is different from those hunters."

……

Throughout the entire history of Lulea, hundreds of thousands of people have never spontaneously gone to the royal city when a king ascended the throne.

It is foreseeable that this incident will also become the history of the entire Lurea continent and be remembered by people.

What Li Qi needs to do next is the real process of enthroning.

He needed to decide on the ministers of the kingdom, mainly palace officials.

Before him, the king's power was very limited, although the king of Lurea was not bound by the church because of his strong military strength.

It is precisely because of this that there are so many religions.

Then there is the small territory. The territory of the nobles is a country within a country. The royal family can neither tax the territories of other nobles, nor can it pass by at will, or take other actions.

No matter how small a baron is, when the king comes to his territory, he is just a guest.

The king's army was very small, and it became normal to summon nobles to lead troops in battle.

This is also the fundamental reason for the lack of power of the king.

Not only that, the king had no power to intervene in city management, and its operations were also outside the king's jurisdiction.

The first thing Li Qi did after becoming emperor was to take administration, finance, justice, military, church, etc. into his own hands.

That's not right, because he is not asking other nobles to make concessions through his status as emperor, but he has already had these things and now he is just announcing them to the outside world.

Whether you agree with it or not, it is already a fact.

While making his remarks, Li Qi also did not forget to give away the benefits.

It is also necessary to let some talented nobles take charge of the key points.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Chancellor of Justice, etc.

In the empty hall, Li Qi sat on the throne, using his right elbow to support his side of the face with his palm.

"Doesn't it feel good to be the emperor? Standing at the pinnacle of power in Lurea."

Leonie waved her hand to the waiting servants to retreat.

"Are you okay?" Li Qi patted his leg and motioned for her to come over and sit down.

Crack~!

An electric arc exploded on Leonie's cheek, and she turned her head away, pretending that she didn't know anything.

"They want to be kings because they lack strength and need the loyalty of neutral nobles to enhance their scope of power," Li Qi said, "but my current power is enough to sweep across the entire continent of Lurea."
