first wizarding world war.

Chapter 556 Peace Conference
The story of Charlotte's cleansing of Strasbourg soon spread throughout the Old Continent.

His method of dealing with Axels was relatively conventional, but his treatment of the rebellious nobles by his vassal states opened the eyes of monarchs from various countries. Almost everyone was interested in the indulgences invented by Charlotte.

Whether it was Ingrima, Byron, or the emperor of the Lionheart Dynasty, they all had the strange thought, "Why is there no rebellion here?"

Almost every monarch in the Old World envied the Emperor of Brittany for being able to clean up the noble territories on a large scale.

You know, almost all the taxes from the noble territories will be given to the nobles in the fiefdoms, and the emperor can hardly collect any taxes. Moreover, he has to pay the nobles annuities and support knights for them. For the kings of all the countries in the Old World, they hope that there will be as few nobles in the territory as possible. Furthermore, it would be best if they were all nominal nobles without territories, and they cannot levy taxes privately.

The most remarkable thing about Charlotte was not that she dealt with a large number of nobles, but that she dealt with so many nobles without causing any resentment among them.

The Axel clan was almost all grateful to Charlotte, after all, according to the "law" they should have been sent to the gallows, but it was Charlotte who exonerated them. The nobles who bought indulgences were even more grateful, because buying indulgences allowed them to stay in Fars and not be exiled to the Agulhas Islands.

Almost all the nobles who were not implicated benefited from this turmoil. Those nobles who pleaded for Axel gained a lot of reputation. Even those nobles who did nothing made a lot of money by implicating the rebellious nobles in selling their property, land and titles.

He could handle the rebellion with ease, strive for the greatest benefit for the empire, and not offend any party...

Compared with these performances, it is not surprising that the rebellion was quelled in one month.

It even took a month to quell the rebellion. In this Axel restoration incident, the old emperor could only worry about the rebellion and generously promised Princess Anne in marriage. In order to win the beauty, Charlotte burst out with infinite wisdom...

Love prevails and war becomes insignificant.

Charlotte's fame once spread throughout the Old Continent.

He even asked the fifteenth Red Dragon Emperor of Ingrimar, His Majesty Alfred Guillaume, to send a document, hoping that the other three empires would send envoys to negotiate in Mecklenburg.

After Charlotte dealt with the rebellion in Strasbourg, she kept Anne.

Anne of Brittany was the legitimate princess of the Fars Empire.

It is legitimate for him to personally supervise the country when his father and brother are not around.

Charlotte also left behind Aunt Karen, Claire Brittany and Abner Sumey to assist Anne in handling government affairs, and she took Andreas back to Arcadia Port.

During this period, Charlotte was very concerned about the movements of the New World Congress, fearing that they would suddenly attack her fleet. However, the New World Congress was very quiet during this period. Although they knew that Charlotte was making trouble in Strasbourg, they did not start a war. Charlotte returned to Arcadia Port and invited Romeos to come to the Holy Light Kingdom for a meeting.

Romios was confident of his military prowess and readily agreed. When he arrived on the Holy Light God's Kingdom, he saw the Great Lingmo in various postures. Although he was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but say: "They say that the Holy Light God's Kingdom is heaven on earth! After seeing it today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Charlotte thought to herself, "Your family is heaven on earth! Your whole family is heaven on earth."

"Have you ever seen a heaven and earth with so many evil gods gathered together?"

But he invited Romios to come over to discuss something, and he would not quarrel over such a small matter. He took Romios for a tour on the Holy Light Kingdom, and every time he introduced a certain entertainment project, Romios could not help but admire it. He was in danger everywhere in the New World. Apart from survival, he had no time for entertainment.

How can I have the mood to entertain myself?

This is not just a problem for Romeos, it's a problem for the entire New World.

After a tour on the Holy Light Kingdom, Charlotte took Romios to a small reception room with floor-to-ceiling portholes, where he could step into the mirror world at any time and summon Ishmeron at any time. He was not afraid of Romios's sudden attack, but appeared to be quite sincere, magnanimous and selfless.

Seeing that Charlotte dared to talk to him alone, Romeos was really impressed by her courage. He took out two tobacco sticks, handed one to Charlotte, and said, "This is a specialty of the New World. Put it in your mouth and chew it, it will have a light sweet taste."

Charlotte was greatly surprised. He had never seen tobacco since he traveled here. There were no cigarettes, pipes, or cigars in the Old World. He had always thought that it was good enough to have tea and coffee in this world, and that they could not be forced. Unexpectedly, he saw tobacco in Romeos.

He did not put the thing in his mouth to chew, but instead mobilized the star fighting spirit, rolled the tobacco into a rough stick, flicked out a little spark, lit the thing, and then took a deep puff. It was indeed that flavor.

Romeos was very curious and rolled some tobacco, lit it with his power, took a puff and immediately started coughing, but this experience was indeed unprecedented. Charlotte took a small box from the magic mirror to flick the ash and said, "His Majesty Breton may end the war at any time, and I will soon have a powerful helper from Fars, but I suddenly feel that Mr. Romeos is a wise man, and we can solve the problem in a peaceful way."

“War is not necessarily necessary.”

"South Seraf is my territory, there is no doubt about that."

"Mr. Romeos, can you represent the New World Congress? If so, I hope we can reach a preliminary plan today."

Romeos imitated Charlotte, took a deep puff of tobacco, and slowly exhaled. He felt that it was indeed interesting. He said, "We attacked Mecklenshire, and we were wrong. We are willing to apologize for this. But we have more than one million immigrants in the New World, and we really need a place to settle down."

"Mr. Charlotte, what do you think will satisfy both parties?"

Charlotte smiled and said, "I originally thought that there was no way to compromise, but I recently dealt with the rebellion in Strasbourg, and suddenly came up with a plan that everyone might accept."

"First of all, South Seraf is my land. It is also my first fief in Fars. I will never give it to anyone."

"But if the New World Congress wants to stay in South Seraf, I can turn South Seraf into an autonomous territory and let the New World Congress govern it, but they have to recognize me as the lord. However, I can't lose a directly governed region in vain. Since you have already left the New World, you can use the land of the New World in exchange."

After careful consideration, Romeos found this condition acceptable.

In fact, neither side wanted war, but the immigrants to the New World needed land and there was no way they would retreat.

Charlotte proposed to change Yugoslavia into a dominion, allowing the New Continental Congress to govern itself with only nominal sovereignty, which was an acceptable approach.

Romeos pondered for a long time and asked, "I wonder how Duke Mecklen plans to collect taxes?"

The level of burden on the dominions depends entirely on taxation. When the officials sent from the Old World to the New World collected too heavy taxes, the New World generally had resistance to the Old World. Overseas territories in many places launched large-scale anti-tax activities, and some places even directly overthrew the rule of the Old World.

Romeus was naturally very concerned about the issue of taxation and it was impossible for him to make concessions on this issue.

Charlotte said nonchalantly, "My Duchy of Mecklen never levies taxes, and I will not levy taxes on the South Seraf Free Zone either. But I also request that the Free Zone not levy taxes on any merchants, farmers, craftsmen, cultural personnel, or artists in the Duchy of Mecklen."

Romeos was overjoyed at first, but at the same time he couldn't understand it. He certainly hoped that Charlotte would not levy taxes, but he couldn't understand where the money would come from to govern the place without levying taxes.

Charlotte is from Earth, and of course she knows that if there is no taxation, many multinational companies on Earth will not know how much money they will make. She has never governed the jurisdiction as a country, city, or region. Because the biggest problem of the government is that it does not produce and cannot generate profits. Of course, if the government can do business, it will be a terrible thing. Charlotte manages every city she has occupied in the way of managing a company.

Charlotte also cut down most government agencies. He did not need to collect taxes, so naturally he did not need to hire tax collectors. He did not need administration, was not responsible for local security, did not need courts, did not need an office, did not need cultural etiquette and education departments, and did not even need diplomacy. All of these were handled by the Knights of Favonius, resulting in extremely low administrative expenses.

He had his own caravan, a large piece of land, countless shops, a fleet, and a large number of workers paid by the government...

Such a huge "company" is not even taxed by the government!
All the gains were so great that even huge profits could not be described as enough.

Romeos stood up and said, "I need to go back and call the Speakers of the New World Congress to discuss this matter."

Charlotte smiled and said, "I can wait patiently. If the New World Congress does not want to continue the war, I suggest you organize a negotiation team. We can imagine peace on the Holy Light Kingdom. I will cover all the meeting expenses."

Romeos thought carefully about everything he had seen on the Holy Light Kingdom, and knew that Charlotte was planning to use these entertainments to "corrupt" the immigrants in the New World, but he did not care, as this could also reduce some of the resistance to the negotiations.

After Romios returned to Arcadia Port, he organized a negotiation team of more than 20 people in just three days. The two sides held a full 27 rounds of meetings on the Holy Light Kingdom...

Charlotte obtained nominal ownership of most of the 27 regions in the New World!
