Chapter 587 Bottom Line

The treatment of the five major countries is still much higher than that of other small countries. As the five superpowers covering 70 to 80% of the world's territory, the combined number of people under their leadership is several times that of the other small countries. Simply speaking, From this point of view, the daimyo of the five major countries must receive the highest level of treatment.

Whether it was Menma's personal welcome, the living environment behind him, or the super-standard welcome banquet, this was something that other small countries could not have.

To put it bluntly, as long as Menma can solve the problems of the five major countries, the remaining small countries will only become a minor problem even if everyone goes crazy and wants to resist. What Menma is really worried about is the non-cooperation of the five major countries. .

Because Menma can't really kill all the top leaders of the five major countries, especially the five daimyo, right?

It's not that it won't be suppressed later, but doing so will cause a lot of unnecessary conflicts. The world has been gradually stabilized, and Menma doesn't want to see another special wave of bloodshed.

That is definitely the misfortune of ordinary people.

By that time, the number of people who will die will not be a small number. No matter how unwilling Menma is, he must eradicate the roots as much as possible and kill all those who are related to the rebel forces.

That's the worst kind of unfolding.

It was an outcome that Menma tried his best to avoid.

However, judging from the normal situation, as long as these famous names and nobles are not crazy, they will not do such exaggerated things. Just to vent their anger for a moment, and for that illusory glimmer of hope, they will risk all their wealth and lives. No one in their right mind would do that even if they were all betting on it.

As long as Menma leaves a certain amount of room and allows them to accept it in their hearts, such a life-or-death situation will never happen.

In fact, Menma also left some room for maneuver for these daimyo, and expressed this openly or secretly. Otherwise, it would be impossible for these five daimyo to come here to participate in the meeting. Instead, he directly ordered a nationwide mobilization. You If you don't even leave any profit to others, you shouldn't blame them for fighting to the death.

It was almost at the end of the reception banquet.

After having enough wine and food.

In that magnificent building specially built for tomorrow's high-level meetings of the daimyo and nobles of various countries, and most likely the entire country after the unification.

The large conference room at the innermost side.

The five great names were already sitting among them.

Menma, along with Xiang Rin, Wuwei, Shikaku, Haiichi, Shibuki, Dodai and others, sat down opposite the five daimyo.

It is obvious that this meeting is an important meeting related to the future world pattern.

Just today.

Menma can reach a certain agreement with the five daimyo, so tomorrow's big meeting is just a process. In fact, looking at ancient and modern times, any large-scale meeting that seems very important is actually all about It had been decided in a small caucus before the meeting.

It’s not that that big meeting was a complete process. It’s just that if many important things are not discussed and decided in advance, in such a large meeting, it will only become more chaotic and chaotic. It was still a meeting with a relatively clear purpose.

What is the core.

What is the theme.

These are particularly important contents.

"Xianglin."

And that was after the five daimyo took their seats.

Menma gestured to Xiang Rin beside him.

Xianglin nodded, then stepped forward lightly and presented five identical documents to the desks of the five daimyo.

"Your highnesses, the world today has ushered in an era of great changes. I think all your highnesses should also know that everything in the past is coming to an end. In order to better ensure that all the people in this world Human rights, to achieve true peace, necessary changes are indispensable, and the first thing that needs to be changed is our current national system problem. Here are some immature ideas of yours. Please take a look at it. ”

Menma placed his hands together on the conference table in front of him and looked at the five daimyo opposite with a faint smile.

The first thing that needs to be clarified is naturally the system and system of the entire country. This is the most important point.

Menma must let these daimyo and nobles realize his side's determination. This is the most basic and important point, and no one is allowed to question or object.

Secondly, it is the so-called interest exchange.

Menma can allow these daimyo to preserve some of their core interests, and they can also make corresponding concessions in terms of status and power. Under the new country's system, at least the five current daimyo can still serve as high-level officials. In a position of real power, this is an excessive approach that is mainly appeasing.

The premise is that the five big names will cooperate with Menma in reforming the national system, and also deprive them of a considerable part of their benefits.

The scale here is not completely fixed, it depends on how they discuss it next.

But the bottom line is right there.

The five daimyo also knew it very well. Almost at the moment Menma opened his mouth, they each opened the document in front of them and examined the terms inside with a very serious attitude.

You must know that every clause here may involve huge interests.

There is no room for any carelessness or laxity on their part.

If they miss something, it may bring about a result that they cannot accept. After all, they not only have to care about how their status and power will change, but they also have to pay attention to the nobles and dignitaries in their own country.

Especially those nobles who follow closely and are their staunchest supporters. These famous people must ensure the basic rights of these people.

Either status or interests.

There has to be one of the two, right?

The several daimyo looked at it very seriously, and Menma waited patiently, without any intention of urging. This was a meeting that took a lot of time.

Since Menma decided to solve all problems in the most peaceful way, hoping to shed the least blood, he must go through a similar process.

Negotiation.

You have to advance and retreat.

What matters is the pulling power and patience between each other.

It was a document with not too much content, but the five great names still read it for more than an hour.

Almost all the details inside and out were dug out, from the national system to the specific position settings.

The great names paid great attention to these contents.

It should be said that Menma has really considered all aspects of the content, and this document has been inspected many times by Menma's internal groups before it was presented to these daimyo, especially Shikaku and Dodai. People's checking and filling of gaps has actually made up for many loopholes.

In a true sense, it takes care of the noble groups within these big countries.

However, the purpose has not changed. The aristocratic groups headed by the big names in various countries still need to provide at least two-thirds of the benefits.

The lowest status and power need to be lowered by two or three levels.

In Menma's new national blueprint, the old nobles in the past could only occupy a not exaggerated part of the territory.

Menma can spend money to support them for a period of time, but don't think about the rights and status of the highest level, and a considerable part of these benefits cannot be given permanently, don't even think that they can be passed down forever.

For example, in the future national blueprint, the daimyo of the five major countries can serve as the most important member of the parliament of the federal country, but only the daimyo of their generation, and their descendants can enjoy the benefits left behind. , but rights cannot be passed down.

This is Menma's bottom line.

The names of the five countries are like this, let alone the nobles below and the names of other small countries.

Any request to permanently occupy a certain interest will not be allowed. Menma is still very determined in this aspect. He can make some concessions in other aspects and even allow the descendants of these nobles to enjoy some other benefits. Menma could barely turn a blind eye to the dividends, but only on the core issue, Menma would never give in.

"Is this the final decision of Lord Tianying?"

Opposite him, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who had always been smiling, looked at Menma with a serious face and asked.

It should be said that the national reorganization plan document provided by Menma does guarantee some of their interests, and even the status and power issues mentioned before have corresponding arrangements.

It's just such an arrangement.

Many of them are things they have never thought of. A new country and a new system are inevitable results.

But the federal+parliamentary system proposed by Menma.

But it is a system they have never heard of.

In this way, it is difficult for them to distinguish what kind of position they can occupy in the new country. Members seem to be very important, but how much real power can they hold?

The most important thing is that this cannot be inherited sequentially.

This is the most uncomfortable point for the five daimyo.

The consciousness of Jia Tianxia has penetrated into the minds of these people and taken root in their souls for thousands of years. Now they are told that such status and power cannot be inherited. How can they accept it! ?

Even under such a system, I and others can indeed pave the way for their children in the future, but there is no direct and easy way to inherit with a clear order! ?

In addition, in terms of specific wealth, at least two-thirds must be handed over, and more often cannot even keep one percent. Such a ratio is really difficult for people like them to accept.

But I still feel that such conditions are not really bad, it is just a very tangled mentality.

Menma wanted this result.

It feels completely uneconomical to ask these famous names and nobles to risk their lives to rebel, and it feels like a big loss to accept it.

"It can also be said that some basic principles cannot be shaken, but everything still needs to be reached after we discuss it, right? The peace of this world is not a matter of one person, but should It is the common wish of everyone in the world, and it also requires the joint efforts of everyone! I think your highnesses should agree with this, right?”

Menma said with a chuckle.

Beating him to death with a stick will never work. Even if the aristocratic system is to be abolished, there must be at least a transition period. At least in Menma's view, it cannot be achieved in the near future, and the people's consciousness has not been liberated. Under such circumstances, forcing yourself to do this will only cause chaos for countless people.

It's better to just keep this name.

In the future, it may be possible to consider guiding them to exist as an honorary existence.

Based on this point, Menma must block all the ways of resistance of these nobles in advance, and suppress everything he can think of.

Menma's words also further clarified his attitude.

As for what is an unshakable principle and what is negotiable.

That is in Menma's own hands.

These five daimyo can still understand this very clearly. They have been monarchs for so many years, and such means have been used several times. In this regard, they are true masters.

Menma is also very clear about this, so he does not beat around the bush at all. Except for some words that are not suitable for explicit statements, the rest are all very straightforward. What matters is where the bottom line between each other is. At present, Menma has an all-round advantage!

Menma can grasp the bottom line of these daimyo.

But the daimyo need to be cautious, or even afraid of the power that Menma holds. If they offend him and turn their backs on him, they will have to pay with their lives!

Being willing to come here to attend the meeting actually means that their attitude is relatively clear, and Menma has grasped this point.

"That's true, but to establish a country, when everything in the past has changed, isn't it too hasty? Especially the personnel changes, I think it seems that we can discuss it again?"

The daimyo of the Land of Earth pondered for a while, then looked at Menma and said carefully.

"Yes, Mr. Tianying, I also think that so many adjustments at once are not in line with the general rules, and it will be easy to cause problems, right? Can we slow down the pace a little? Just merge into one country first, and adjust the position later?"

The daimyo of the Wind Country also said with a touch of gentleness.

"Of course, we think there is no problem with the other terms, and everything can be implemented according to Mr. Tianying's opinion."

If someone plays the white face, someone has to play the red face.

The central idea is definitely the most clear one, that is, this meeting is 100% to establish a unified country, and the five daimyo will not raise any objection to this.
