"And they're using the excuse of holy war and extermination of pagans... Does converting mean we're no longer Norma nobles?"

"That's right!" the nobles echoed.

"Since this bastard emperor doesn't even have this little bit of mercy, then we don't have to obey his rule."

One noble said angrily, "Get rid of him!"

"Tell him to get out!"

"Let's contact Noria, Vanya, Hungary, Albania—"

It doesn’t matter who rules, but it can’t be Augustus of Norma!

Is there any need for an empire that cannot properly protect the interests of us nobles to exist?

"Besides, I have a plan—" said a noble.

After listening to his plan, some nobles were speechless.

"This isn't something you came up with, is it?"

"Have you contacted the Willis people?"

"Is this important?" the nobleman in question responded calmly.

"That's right." The nobles murmured. At such a critical moment, who would cooperate with whom?

"But there's still a question," someone asked, "How do we deal with that Khitan Caesar?"

"Even artillery shells can't kill him..."

"I admit that the Khitan Caesar is extremely brave," he replied, "but that doesn't mean we can't defeat him."

"The cannon that Kaleja Pasha fired at him was small—but even so, he was still covered in dust and his horse was killed."

"What does this mean? It means he is not immortal."

"As long as the artillery fire is strong enough and there are enough explosives, we can kill him!" The nobleman waved his arms and said excitedly.

"Besides..." A mysterious smile appeared on his face. "Who says that killing people requires war?"

After he said this, the other nobles became excited.

"Drown? Poisoned? Assassinated?"

"——We're good at this."

【Wuwuwu——Host, I’m so sorry.】

System 12345 whimpered, feeling that this system had failed miserably.

[I just realized that the script I gave you is also in a different language.]

System 12345 was almost moved to tears by its own stupid operation.

At first, it was still wondering why the host's performance made everyone so excited, but in the end he still failed to attract the second princess.

Later it was discovered that the classic tragic drama it passed on to Shu Yichao was a classic, but it had not been translated.

The language used is from another world... How can the host understand it?

In this case, the host could still rely solely on the drawings on the script to figure out the script on his own, which deeply moved those dignitaries.

This is already an incredible achievement, okay?

【Wuwuwu——Host, I am so stupid.】

After feeling sad for a while, System 12345 began to rack its brains again, trying to find a way to help Shu Yichao.

【I found that when there is a language barrier. 】

[Host, you easily offend people——]

[It seems that there are quite a few nobles in the city right now who are very dissatisfied with you.]

[These nobles are so intertwined and intertwined that offending one is equivalent to offending all of them...]

After thinking about it, System 12345 spoke again.

[How about this, host? I'll compile their information and give it to you.]

[Pictures speak louder than words——]

【If you encounter the person in the portrait, you must be careful.】

The relationship cannot deteriorate any further.

[Otherwise, host, you may not be able to stay in this city. ]

"Huh?" Shu Yichao opened the message interface and found that he had received a reward.

However, this time's book is different from the last ones.

These are portraits of nobles in gorgeous clothes, and they are connected to each other by various lines, which are intricate and intricate.

"Family tree?" Shu Yichao pondered.

"Why is the reward this time a family tree?"

[One more thing, host...]

The voice of System 12345 sounded very guilty.

[I think I still need to tinker with the language plugin.]

It keeps reporting module errors, linear inconsistencies, and environment mismatches.

【so……】

Shu Yichao found that he had received another pile of books.

[I've given you a dictionary comparing the current world's languages ​​with Chinese, including pronunciation and characters—]

System 12345 spoke in a lower and lower voice.

As a system, it actually requires the host to learn the language of another world by himself. If this gets out, it will have a very bad reputation.

[Also, to help you better interact with those nobles, I've also printed out some of the customs, culture, and various systems of races similar to yours in this world—]

[With these things, it will be no problem for you, the host, to pretend to be a noble from the Far East...]

“…” Shu Yichao was speechless.

"What is this pile of stuff?"

He found a spare room and threw these things, which he thought were completely useless, into it.

However, Shu Yichao carried with him the book that seemed to be a noble family tree.

He thought it might be useful in the future.

"What did Caesar throw in there?"

Mrs. Marty curiously entered the unattended room and grabbed a book.

After a moment, her eyes widened.

"What are these?"

Ten minutes later, she rushed into Constantine XI's room: "Your Majesty!"

“You have to see these things!”

Twenty minutes later, Constantine XI was stunned.

Because what was written there seemed to be more profound and more useful than the series of reforms he wanted to introduce—

Half an hour later, Shu Yichao saw Constantine XI, Mrs. Marti, and a group of close followers appear in front of him.

"Jun Shiyi." Shu Yichao nodded at him and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, a clumsy word entered his ears.

"Zun Jing's welder is forever, oh, start killing, oh, I want to warm you up a little bit."

Shu Yichao turned around suddenly and asked in surprise.

"What do you say?"

He must have heard it right.

A few words of poor Mandarin came out of the mouth of Constantine XI?

Chapter 43 - Chinese Innovation

As an orthodox Central Plains person, Shu Yichao is naturally not very sensitive to things that he is familiar with.

But in fact, the Central Plains civilization was actually a fairly precocious civilization - especially its organizational form.

As early as prehistoric times, the civilizations in the Central Plains, as numerous as stars in the sky, had already started a vigorous chicken-eating competition.

All contestants are not bound by position, language, religion, or organizational form.

Everyone relies on their own abilities, men, women, young and old all join in the fight and become one with it.

There are no serious consequences if you lose.

It's just extinction.

In the end, the victory of the Central Plains civilization had nothing to do with what god they believed in or what religion they preached.

It's simply the best at fighting.

In order to cope with long-term natural disasters and frequent wars, people in the Central Plains habitually ceded power to the group, obeyed the command of the top leaders, and organized themselves in a strict and efficient form.

People may complain, or even be dissatisfied, but they often have no choice but to carry out the order.

Because most people know that this is to keep themselves alive.

The ruins of the Shang Dynasty also confirm this point.

Children lived with women, while men lived together in military camps to deal with the threat of war. The scale was so huge and the organization was so terrifying that the Spartans would wet their pants when they saw it.

Of course, this doesn't mean there are no shortcomings -

Under this kind of organization, the life safety of those in power is often not guaranteed.

They certainly have more power, higher status, and more say - but if they make the wrong decision, it can cost them their lives.

Unlimited rights also mean unlimited responsibilities.

Everyone follows you and listens to you because they think you are more far-sighted. In order to protect their own rights and interests, they hold their noses and endure grievances.

After all, things like natural disasters and wars cannot be delayed, and opportunities are fleeting.

But if the boss makes the wrong decision, he will basically be physically destroyed.

Therefore, the operation of the Central Plains dynasty regime gave people the feeling that it was extremely cruel. If something went wrong, a lot of people would die.

But no matter how indifferent Shu Yichao himself was to these things, Constantine XI was very interested in them.

After all, the advantages are obvious.

"Is this why the Khitans are so powerful?" he sighed.

Compared with the various Khitan systems described in the book, the Norma system seems so chaotic.

Various official positions, assignments, and titles overlap with each other.

The division of labor among the military, judiciary and administration is unclear.

Just looking at it makes people feel overwhelmed.

Not only was it inefficient, but it also failed to solve the problem of frequent rebellions by the nobles - in fact, this could not be blamed on him, as the so-called Norma Emperor was just a military leader.

If he didn't know these things, Constantine XI would still think that Norma's system was quite good -

At least compared to those kings and dukes in the west who fight with each other every day and are considered knowledgeable if they can write a word, they are much better!

However, after seeing the Khitan stuff today...

The barbarian turned out to be myself.

It turns out that nobility can be downgraded to hereditary status, or not hereditary at all?

It turns out that official positions do not have to be inherited by the nobility, but rather one level is subordinate to another, and appointment is only possible after passing several rigorous examinations?
