King’s Kingdom - Chapter 280

They are still very honorable, and the surname of Ortban and the honorable status of the blood of Saint King Ender do not allow them to do such a thing.

Those secret thoughts in my heart are nothing but an idea after being embarrassed for too long in the past, eager to get ahead but unable to provide support, and the ascent of the hometown was blocked.

Now that I have come to the Lanyin Kingdom, the ascending passage here is not only not blocked, but has been helped and encouraged because of my noble status. There is such hope that no one will make the wrong choice after all.

After getting these armors, they were all dressed neatly and carefully maintained every day, and even held back during confrontation training, for fear of any damage.

They didn’t let go until the old knight smiled and reminded them that the damage to the armor could be repaired at any time, and resumed training.

Theodosius was now contemplating the designation and implementation of the next law, because he found that with the arrival of the nobility and the gradual growth of the local nobility, a problem arose.

That is, the current law of inheritance is no longer applicable.

Because the Lanyin Kingdom and other countries implement two different feudal systems. Although the Lanyin Kingdom also has nobles and allowed personal attachment some time ago, the fundamental system is still centralized, and mere personal attachment cannot affect the state of the country. system.

If it is only the gradual growth of the national aristocracy, the demand for inheritance law is not very large.

However, as the foreign nobles entered the Lanyin Kingdom, the problem was exposed.

Although the Lanyin Kingdom itself also belongs to the mainstream human culture, and there is no difference in language, culture and customs from the Central Empire of the Northern Empire, but their family issues are extremely incompatible with the Lanyin Kingdom.

Their homeland is basically in a state of enfeoffment, and once the apprentice is assigned, although it is still nominally state-owned land, the right to use it has been handed over to them, so even the royal family cannot take it back without committing a crime. .

And once one of them is killed in battle, but has no heirs, the land under their name faces a dispute over inheritance.

Without heirs, the only heirs of their land and property are their fathers or uncles and brothers. The problem is that those who can come to the Rinne Kingdom as knights all have at least one village as a fief.

Owning a fief also means that he has a feudal obligation to his superior lord. After inheriting the land of the Lanin Kingdom, will the output of this land still contribute to the Lanin Kingdom, pay taxes for the Lanin Kingdom, and even Whether this land still belongs to the Kingdom of Rhine is a question.

As far as Theodosius knew, this was the case in medieval Europe in his previous life, where the laws of succession could often break a nation into pieces.

It is not uncommon for a nobleman to be a vassal of two or even three kings at the same time. It is not uncommon for the king to sway during wars and even ask the king to pay for it. Although this kind of chaos is also related to its social atmosphere and system, it has to be guarded against.

Theodosius didn’t want this to happen in the Lanyin Kingdom, even if it was just a hint of it.

This situation is not obvious for the time being, because before this, the Ortban people whose hometowns were in foreign countries were a minority. Even if they were killed, the land was only recovered and redistributed, and it would not cause much concern.

But it is different now. The arrival of a large number of Ortban people has changed this. Although they are all optimistic and hope to stand out, everyone knows that there are no dead people in war, and it is impossible for them not to worry about what will happen to them. .

As a result, the revision of the law on the successor of foreigners was imminent, and Theodosius quickly spread the news and summoned the ministers of the new Rhine city to discuss the matter.

Although it has always been the king’s right to revise and revise laws, it is better to brainstorm ideas. No matter what the ministers say, they can be adopted as long as they are useful, and they can be ignored if they are useless. hand.

“Your Majesty, I think the first thing to be sure is that no matter who inherits this land, it must be bound by obligations and national identity, and the land cannot be used for foreign countries. This is the bottom line of this law!”

The words of Count Leiningen gave Theodosius a lot of inspiration, and I have to say that he is indeed wise enough.

By tying the relationship between the state and the land, and then strengthening the equality of power and responsibility, inheriting the land must serve the state, which is a good way.

“What if we make a fuss about the successor?” Count Camota also stood up and said.

Theodosius raised his brows, and Count Camota’s words seemed reasonable: “Go on!”

“That’s it, I think we can stipulate that if we want to inherit the land of the Lanyin Kingdom, we must either give up our oath of allegiance to the foreign lord and monarch and become a subject of the Lanyin Kingdom completely, or give up the inheritance of the land. It can also prevent similar situations from happening!”

Theodosius pondered, and nodded in agreement.

Count Camota’s words are indeed very reasonable. Recently, the ministers of the Lanyin Kingdom seem to have improved their political ability a lot, and the suggestions they put forward are somewhat of a high-rise building.

The rest of the ministers also made supplements and spoke out their thoughts. Although most of them were clauses that were useless and impossible to implement, there were still many useful proposals.

This kind of discussion has been going on for several days~www.mtlnovel.com~ After all, implementing a law is no child’s play. It must be verified through many discussions, and the process of overturning and rebuilding can avoid various accidents that may occur in the future.

So in the process, the nobles’ opinions on the law gradually reached the ears of Theodosius and the ministers.

It was not until March 5, 869 of the Hilkati calendar, that the provisions of this law were revised several times before it was finalized and sent to all parts of the Lanin Kingdom.

The Act of Rights and Responsibilities of Foreign Heirs in the Kingdom of the Rhine

Article 1: Foreign successors must make a choice. Those who have pledged loyalty to foreign lords and kings must give up their oath to join the Kingdom of Lanin, otherwise they will not be eligible to inherit the property and real estate in the Kingdom of Lanin.

Article 2: Foreign heirs are not eligible to inherit the land of the Rhine Kingdom if they have the right to inherit land from other countries.

Article 3: The nobles of the country can personally designate the heirs of the property, and the inheritance of property and real estate must be approved and agreed by the royal family and the king before it takes effect.

These three main clauses constitute the main body of the Successor Act and are the unchanging rigid requirements, and the remaining clauses are supplements to these three clauses.
