While the eyes of the entire civilized world were attracted by the disaster of the night elves in Mount Hyjal, a sudden reform broke out in the central part of Kalimdor without anyone anticipating.

Salt Mine County, this is the border county in the southernmost part of the Flash Plain in the Kingdom of Storms. It occupies a small area, but because of the high-quality salt and associated minerals, plus the commercial city of the hot sand consortium. Kisson is very close, so it took only a few years from the establishment of the county three years ago to the present day to make Salt Mine County one of the most important commercial distribution centers in the entire Storm Kingdom.

The governor of this county was Earl Nelson, an ancient nobleman who had once been in the Kingdom of Storms. According to the provisions of the Temporary Land Allocation Act after the westward movement of the entire human empire a few years ago, the entire Salt Mine County plus the mountains of the border area belonged to Nelson territory.

And this Earl...how to say, he is not a likable person.

According to the matters discussed with the nobles when King Varian returned, the entire Salt Mine County should pay one-tenth of the total trade as taxation every year, but Count Nelson, like other stubborn nobles, was not prepared to fulfill this responsibility. Not only did he refuse to pay taxes to the king, but in the name of the king, he increased the taxes that all civilians in Salt Mine County had to pay, which made them abominable and disgusting for a while, and made the people of the entire territory terrible.

In Salt Mine County, there have been several outbreaks of oppressed and miserable civilians, but Count Nelson purchased sufficient thermal weapons to arm his private soldiers in Gadgetzan through commercial dealings with Gadgetzan’s goblins. Every small-scale civilian uprising will be suppressed quickly and quickly, and those captured uprisings will be thrown into their salt mines by the arrogant earl and work all day until they have paid off their sins. .

Earl Nelson is the most representative lord among the old nobles in the 12 kingdoms and kings of the Storm Kingdom. Of course, there are not many nobles like him who wantonly act in the entire kingdom, especially those who lack territories and The oily little nobles dare not oppress the people so blatantly, but the factor of dissatisfaction has been planted in the hearts of the people, and only waiting for a suitable opportunity to explode it.

Turned into a raging wildfire, under the guidance of a wise man, completely burned the evils in the whole kingdom body.

In the early morning of this ordinary day, the people of Salt Mine County opened their doors, and in the somewhat dry sunshine of the Flash Plain, they were ready to start their new day's work. It was not easy to ask for life in the greedy Count Nelson’s territory. The civilians even had children. No one dares to give birth. Earl Nelson’s “head tax” levied in the territory is much higher than other territories. That is already a heavy burden for the common people.

Fortunately, the greedy earl is still rational... and he hasn't come up with any outrageous bills such as "first night power".

However, today people walking on the street are attracted by some weird documents posted on the streets. The literacy rate of the Storm Kingdom is very poor. Most civilians are limited to being able to write their names crookedly, so this The beautiful handwriting on the deputy document was unknown, but the people all saw the blood red seal under the instrument.

As long as the thing is known to everyone living on this land, it is the coat of arms belonging to the Wrynn family, representing His Majesty Varian who now nominally manages the kingdom.

"Old Frank, come on! Miss us this thing!"

As the crowd gathered, there were many good people who called Frank, the owner of the grocery store in town. This thin old man was already a knowledgeable person who could read and write in the town.

Old Frank was also willing to help this, which would make his grocery store business better. So in the discussion of the people, the old Frank from Shi Shiran cleared his throat and turned his head to look at the street documents, but only After a glance, Old Frank's eyes widened sharply.

"Now! What's wrong? Frank?"

Some anxious people shoved Frank, while others saw bad things in Frank's strange expression.

"Is the **** lord going to raise taxes again?"

"This is the king's seal. Maybe the king is going to recruit young people to fight again! I heard that our king is a gladiator, and I especially like to provoke war, not a benevolent person..."

"Don't talk nonsense! When His Majesty Varian was crowned, I went to Stormwind City to see it. When we were on the Eastern Continent, King Varian was a well-known compassionate people. He was a good king, and bad things were all those What the nobles who cheated and concealed did!"

"Old Frank, when are you going to be stunned, read it!"

In the rush of vocalization, old Frank swallowed hard. He looked at the curious eyes of the civilians behind him, and he was somewhat at a loss:

"No! It's not a tax increase! This is a new law promulgated by King Varian himself... called... called the Equal Rights Act, it's us, a bill we've never seen before."

"You read it!"

The old Frank's words made other people more excited. At their urging, the old Frank used a hoarse voice to read one word at a time:

"Varian Wrynn, the current king of the Kingdom of Stormwind, sue all the people:"

"In the name of the King, I hereby declare that the Equal Rights Act is promulgated nationwide today, and all free people living in the land of the Kingdom of Stormwind enjoy the sacred powers granted by this Act."

The voice of the civilians around them gradually became smaller. From the trembling voice of old Frank, they all heard a serious meaning, which is probably the most vernacular of all the Yu Ling issued by the king since the establishment of the Storm Kingdom. It is so simple that any civilian who can think can understand it.

"1. From today, the political rights of the Kingdom of Stormwind will be handed over to the Cabinet of the Cabinet by the King. Varian Wrynn and his descendants voluntarily renounce the right to rule the Kingdom of Stormwind, retaining only the title of "King" and the family of Wrynn The ownership of the three palaces and manor houses, but will no longer intervene in all domestic political affairs. The king is only a national symbol. During the war, the king will automatically become the commander of the military system."

"2. From today onwards, all free people in the Kingdom of Stormwind will enjoy the same power, and all the power of all the nobility remaining in the old era will be collected into the royal family, including but not limited to having more land than the free people deserve, which is normal for free people. The intervention of life and life, the immunity of national laws, the power of family inheritance, and the control of all power in the so-called territory, the above powers are suspended and abolished today!"

"3. From today onwards, all free people in the Kingdom of Stormwind will enjoy the right to vote and be elected by the Storm Council, the right to personal and liberty of citizens, and private property to be protected by the state and inviolable."

"4. From today, all free people in the Kingdom of Stormwind will pay taxes in accordance with the Kingdom Tax Law. This will be the only tax that the free people of the Kingdom need to pay. In addition, no one has any power to collect additional taxes anywhere!"

Old Frank’s voice became louder and louder, and at this moment it even turned into a roar, and all the civilians on the street had gathered here, and even the patient who stayed at home patiently rushed out, and the whole block was silent. Everyone was stunned by the old Frank's words.

"No more! No more!"

And the tax collector who got the news, of course, was the tax collector of the Earl of Nelson family who rushed over with some guards. He pushed away the silent civilians. The guards pointed the sharp knife at the old Frank, and the tax collector was badly corrupted. Shouted:

"Go home! The king is crazy, these are fake! No listening, no trust! You, no reading! You are arrested! In the name of the count!"

The prideful tax collector hadn’t finished speaking, and the heavy shield hit him hard, knocking down the invincible character of the town, and the guards wanted to protect him, but he turned Turning around, he was hit by a dozen cold guns.

The servant led by the wind and dust, dressed as a cowboy like a knight, looked up and looked at the others, with a silver lion logo on his chest, which clearly belonged to His Majesty Varian Wrynn. A member of the "Lion Warrior", he cleared his throat and shouted in a low, majestic voice

"Don't be afraid! Citizen, King Varian is supporting you!"

"Keep reading! After reading it, let all citizens know the laws enacted by His Majesty Varian!"

"Yes Yes."

Old Frank nodded dryly. A silent old man next to him took the initiative to hand him a glass of water. Frank, the shop owner, drank that glass of water, and then in the eyes of nearly a hundred people, he would The last few of the Equal Rights Act were read out in a roaring manner.

"5. From today, the New Stormwind Coat of Arms will be abolished. After the verification of the land currently reclaimed by the Kingdom, the illegally occupied land will be redistributed to the people in accordance with the subsequently enacted "Land and House Law". "

"6. From today onwards, the current nobility within the Kingdom of Stormwind must disband all illegal armed forces and consciously go to the Kingdom’s tax office in all territories to register all their property within 3 days. Those who are overdue will be confiscated and paid into the treasury. ."

"Appendix: Due to the interference caused by the enactment of the Equal Rights Act, His Majesty the King and the Storm Council made a decision to reduce all taxes this autumn... by a third...

Old Frank's words were finished, and everyone on the street remained silent. Until a few minutes later, a rather confused farmer asked in a low voice:

"That is to say, we don't have to pay any head tax anymore? My son does not need to pay marriage tax when he gets married next month?"

"Then I want to move and build a house?"

Another woman shouted: "No need to pay the new house tax?"

"no need!"

Old Frank looked back at the simple article again, and he shouted: "No more! The king said, these messy taxes, no need to pay! Nelson is no longer an earl, and the kingdom has no earl! We don’t need Fear him again!"

"He is a free man like us!"

"Wow"

The crowd was in an uproar. These honest civilians were still unable to accept the unexpected "big gift bag" in front of them. They were very confused. Everyone was trying to say something, but no one could fully describe their inner feelings, but Even so, a slightly chaotic momentum slowly burst out among these groups of people.

The king is the biggest!

What the king said is what!

The king said now that there are no more nobles in the kingdom! No one can oppress them... the king is right! So we have to listen to the king! Let those **** nobles die!

In the simple thinking of the people, such a simple syllogism quickly took shape, and they even forgot that the first article of the Equal Rights Act said that His Majesty Varian had voluntarily renounced all the power of being a king, but this But it cannot change the deep-rooted ideas of the people.

And no matter how stupid people know, this bill will bring to the bottom of the civilian population what kind of beautiful new life, people, are selfish, so soon, the more and more people on the street stand firm On the king's side, even in their lives, it is impossible to see Varian.

Seeing that the atmosphere was enough, the pioneer knight who came from the wind and dust raised his hand and shouted loudly, attracting everyone's eyes to him. The young knight stood on a table moved by old Frank. The condescending shouted:

"I am the pioneer knight of the "Lion Warrior" belonging to the King and the Storm Council. My name is Carlos! I heard that the local Nelson detained many innocent people who resisted him in a mine not far away. , In the name of the Equal Rights Act promulgated by His Majesty the King, this act is a crime!"

"Now, I need some guides to take us to rescue our compatriots! And in the name of the law, arrest the criminal Casa Nielsen, who wants to go with us?"

This requires the civilians in front of them to be somewhat intimidated. After all, Count Nelson has ruled this land for nearly eight years, and the terrible impression he left in the hearts of the local people will not be transferred for a while.

"Don't be afraid! Citizens!"

The pioneer knight Carlos pointed to the document covered with Varian's letter behind him, and he shouted proudly:

"The king is on your side, and Nelson can never hurt you again... Are you willing to give your strength to the reform of the king? Would you not be willing to contribute to the future of yourself and future generations?"

"Do you prefer your offspring to be like you, to be a slave that a villain like Nielsen can beat at will?"

"Now, citizens, with the sacred mission given to me by His Majesty the King, I am going to rescue the suffering compatriots, I am going to defeat the villains like Nielsen who are in distress, who will come with me?"

"I!"

Old Frank raised his hand first, he shouted:

"I will go with you! In the name of my poor son who died in Nelson prison!"

Old Frank raised his hand like Mars, completely igniting the most intense desire in the hearts of the silent people. At this moment, hundreds of arms were stretched out from the crowd, and some people Shouted excitedly.

"Go together! Go together!"

"well!"

Carlos drew his long sword from his waist and waved fiercely towards the mine:

"Then let us... give everything for the future of this country!"
