What exactly does Olliman want to do?
Many people want to know this question.
However, as someone close to Orliman, he had a vague idea of ​​what was in Orliman's mind.
After all, this is the change he has brought about.
Oliman attaches great importance to Chen Heng.
This emphasis is not only reflected in martial arts, she also attaches great importance to Chen Heng's abilities in other aspects.
Therefore, over the years, the two often discussed matters covering all aspects, including the system of the Kutu Kingdom.
The system of the Kutu Kingdom was a typical feudal system. The country was headed by the King of Kutu, who then divided his subjects into different levels to form lords.
In reality, the Kutu Kingdom was not a complete country at all, but a military alliance headed by the King of Kutu.
Except for the territories directly under the royal family, the rest of the lords did not have to pay taxes to the royal family. They only had the obligation to send troops to help and respond to calls.
Even such an obligation cannot always be fulfilled.
When the Kutu royal family was powerful, many lords would naturally obey and not do anything extra.
But once the Kutu royal family weakens, these lords may not be so obedient. At that time, it would be good enough if they don't cause you trouble. Do you still expect them to be loyal to you?
Although the many lords saved the cost of ruling, they also increased the hidden dangers.
When the royal family is weak and unable to suppress the many lords, the lords will annex each other, and eventually a new , which may even attack the royal family.
In fact, there were many such examples in the past of the Kutu Kingdom .
The current Kutu royal family seems to have been established in this way.
As a time traveler, Chen Heng could naturally see the huge hidden dangers in this mode and told Orliman about all the possibilities.
It is not surprising that Oriman would be influenced by him and would want to weaken the lord and deprive the other lords of their territories.
In fact, every generation of Kutu king would do something similar after coming to power.
After all, expanding one's own power is the instinct of those in a superior position.
However, even so, what Orliman did was still too much and his methods were too violent.
Just observing what Orliman did, Chen Heng couldn't help but frown.
There is nothing wrong in wanting to weaken the lords and deprive them of their territories.
But the prerequisite for doing so is to find suitable reasons and excuses, and to have absolute power to suppress.
If there is no reason or excuse, it will cause strong disgust and fear among many lords, and even hostility towards Orliman .
However, if there is no absolute force to suppress it, it will easily lead to further changes.
Everything has its limits. In this era when lords control their territories, those lords are extremely powerful and should not be underestimated.
Once they are really pushed into a corner, the power they unleash will be unimaginable.
A suitable reason and excuse, which Oliman did not have.
Otherwise, the situation wouldn't have developed to the point where even Chen Heng frowned.
As for absolute power.
Chen Heng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The power that Orliman possesses mainly comes from three parts.
First, it was her original territory.
This was given to her by the previous King Kutu. It has been managed by Oliman for many years and is considered her base, which is relatively stable.
The second is the royal power gained by inheriting the throne of Kutu.
This part of the power is also very powerful, and it is the accumulation of the past Kutu royal family.
The last part is the power of followers and vassals like Chen Heng.
Most of this power is made up of the nobles who followed Oriman and supported her ascension to the throne.
But as time goes by, the power that follows Oriman is gradually disappearing.
This is due to many reasons, but the main one is that there is not enough return.
The reason why these people followed Oriman and supported her to become the King of Kutu was naturally because they wanted to get sufficiently generous rewards.
But after becoming king, Oriman did not meet their demands.
Except for a small number of people, most people were granted territories but were confined to the border near the desert .
The same goes for Chen Heng.
Isn’t his fiefdom, Soda, just a barren land close to the desert?
Although Chen Heng gradually developed Soda through his own efforts during these five years, others did not have such good conditions and abilities.
Most of them struggled in this area, and many even died in wars with foreign races.
Those who survived probably wouldn't be too grateful to Orliman for this.
The pioneering territory proposed by Chen Heng was actually implemented very well by Oliman in this way.
Thinking of this situation, Chen Heng couldn't help but feel a headache and rubbed his forehead.
When he first proposed the development of the territory, he was suggesting that Oriman let those landless nobles, or the second sons of nobles who had no inheritance rights, go to the north to develop here.
These people had nothing to begin with, so they were already satisfied just to get a piece of territory.
Moreover, going to the North was their own choice. Even if they died, they could not blame Oriman. It had nothing to do with Oriman.
But these followers are different .
These followers followed Oriman in battle, and there is no doubt that they had made contributions.
They have paid a lot on the road to Oriman's victory, and naturally they also have their demands.
What they asked for and expected was obviously not to gain the barren land in the north, but a more prosperous territory.
But Oriman's actions undoubtedly made them fail.
During these five years, Orliman continued to eliminate opponents and confiscated the lords' territories, but the acquired territories were not distributed to his followers, but instead were taken into his own pocket.
As for those followers who were loyal to her, they were sent to the north to re-open the territory that had never been opened by anyone.
No matter who it is, facing this situation, I'm afraid it won't feel good.
So this last part of the force, which is made up of followers, has actually gradually dissipated in recent years.
Moreover, if Orliman does not change his actions and continues with the current trend, sooner or later he will completely drive these people away and make them part of his enemies.
As for Orliman's own territory and royal power, they are still relatively stable, but if things continue like this, problems will arise sooner or later.
After all, in Chen Heng's opinion, Orliman's rule was brutal.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn't help but sigh. Then he turned around, picked up the letter in his hand, and began to write.
