Chapter 191 I want the entire northernmost land!(2/2)
Zhang Feng was not scared by the king's words. After all, he came from Hongye City. How could he not know what happened there?
"Since that's the case, it's not impossible to divide the entire far north to you, it's just..."
The king's face was a little embarrassed.
"His Majesty the King, what is it?"
Zhang Feng did not expect that the king would show signs of letting go. Although he might not succeed in the end, he still had to fight for it.
"But although I can divide the far north to you, this place is really more than the largest territory that a marquis can have. There are many nobles in the Buck Kingdom and many nobles with fiefs, which cannot convince the public."
The king's words are also true.
Even if he agreed, the nobles would not agree.
Although the king is the lord of a country, it is a lord system after all, and he has to listen to the opinions of other nobles. At least the opinions of those great nobles are the king.
To put it bluntly, if you start to make an exception from Zhang Feng, you will definitely have territorial annexation for various reasons in the future. As long as it is not suppressed by force, the king will not be able to stop it. After all, he opened this head.
Thinking of this, the king instantly felt that it was not possible!
Even if this extreme north is an optional place, he cannot reward Zhang Feng!
After hearing the king's words, Zhang Feng fell into deep thought.
The king is right. The reward of such a large territory to Zhang Feng will definitely make other nobles dissatisfied.
There is a saying that goes well, don’t worry about lack of people but not unevenness.
Those noble men who had long been hollowed out by wine and sex would not want to know what the far north land was. They only knew that the king made an exception and rewarded Zhang Feng with a territory that exceeded his title!
If the king can reward Zhang Feng, he can naturally reward them, and they must fight for it too!
What if the king disagrees? Then find a way to do it automatically. Anyway, they have to have such a big place, otherwise they are all marquises. Why is your territory bigger than my duke? How can you gain a foothold in the Kingdom of Buck in the future?
Of course, not all nobles don’t understand. There are those who don’t understand. There are actually more people who understand, but they will pretend not to understand. After all, children who will cry have milk to eat.
Zhang Feng immediately figured it out that it would be fine if he wanted to get such a large territory, but the premise was to settle two obstacles, one was the king and the other was the aristocratic class.
The former looks promising, but as for the latter...
Zhang Feng suddenly had an idea.
"His Majesty the King, you said, if you gave this far north land to other nobles, would those nobles want it?"
Hearing Zhang Feng's words, the king spoke without thinking:
"Of course not. After all, they are not stupid. For them, the far north cannot increase the tax at all, but it is also a heavy burden. If you really want to accept it, it is very likely that they will be dragged down!"
The king even wanted to say that if he hadn't been the king, he would have wanted to sell the Far North to others! Not to mention anything else, at least the annual tax revenue would not be pulled down, and the accounts would be much better. After all, the Far North has been the average one for so many years.
"Then you give them the extreme north land. If they don't want it, I will take over..."
Zhang Feng spoke with a smile like a little fox.
