Thus, the enclosure movement was also called: "Sheep Eater"!

In this prolonged movement, a vast new land noble class emerged, with titles generally not high, yet they held a considerable amount of land, totaling over 20% of Hightins’s lands.

It should be known that they wouldn’t spend effort enclosing barren lands unfit for pastures, but instead, all were lush and fertile areas, making this 20% a truly alarming figure.

The opposition from successive Royal Families was futile, because it took away a considerable portion of their power, with the support of the Parliament representing the interests of nobility, great merchants, and asset holders!

Thus, this movement was even called "Parliamentary Enclosure."

From the perspective of production materials, this was an organized interest group indirectly hollowing out the nation’s assets.

Prior to this, nowhere in the world had there been such a ruthless handling of various traditional agricultural relations and farmers.

At least in the era of small farmers, there were still quite a few traditional feudal lords who cared about appearances and felt responsible for their serfs.

But they were different; all they cared about was money.

"Hahaha... I also propose a toast to everyone, thanking you all for the support towards our Black Family, and all the Remit immigrants."

Mr. Hal, hailing from Netherland and also a Remit banker, was very pleased with the ambition of this land nobility before him.

He was even more satisfied with the political ecosystem and power allocation system of the Kingdom of Hightins.

Taking advantage of the drunkenness, he revealed his ambitions to them:

"The ’Magna Carta’ of Hightins is the weakest Royal Iron Law in the entire Old Continent.

Though the nation is not weak, the Royal Iron has languished for hundreds of years, with the Royal Family consistently making concessions to traditional nobility and emerging commercial aristocracy.

The real holders of core power are not the king, but the House of Commons and the upper house.

No matter whether The Kingmaker Warwick or Edward IV ascends, as long as we completely control both houses of Parliament, we will be the Uncrowned King of Hightins."

His eyes swept across everyone’s faces:

"Even further expand the ’Magna Carta’s’ restrictions on the King’s power, abolish ’Monarch Absolutism,’ establish a new ’Parliamentary Monarchy,’ and completely strip the Monarch’s King’s Title.

At that time, elect a Prime Minister as the new head of state, transforming King’s Title to Prime Ministerial Title.

From then on, supreme power will no longer be passed down solely by bloodline, you! Me! Him! Everyone will have the opportunity to sit on that throne, wielding the authority of the Fifth Order at will.

Gentlemen, dear friends, Hightins possesses unique political conditions; monetary power here will have unparalleled strength, and it is precisely our fertile ground for ambitious development.

We, the Remit people, have come here like returning home, and do not intend to leave."

Buzz—!

Although the banquet crowd wasn’t large, it instantly seemed as if thousands were celebrating wildly.

Each person looked at Hal Black as if he were a ’Godfather’ pointing to a bright path for them.

He too laughed and encouraged:

"Our ’Freemason Society’ is different from those ’Monetary Restoration Party’ in the Southern Continent; our goals are more grand.

The Society’s purpose is to establish dominance transcending nation, ethnicity, and bloodline with transnational capitalists as its core, becoming true World Nobles!

As long as you all perform well, we will consider granting membership; eventually, everyone can become ’Remit People’ with 2800 slaves."

In recent years, Netherland, as one of the main port destinations for long-range fleet return voyages, has seen rapid development in commerce, handicrafts, and financial industries.

It attracted a large number of Remit bankers who started with usury.

The elite among them had long considered Netherland one of their strongholds, having thoroughly controlled this area, with Netherland United Bank, Monetary Restoration Party, and Freemason Society all being products of this group.

These Remit people were not only actively engaged in financial and commercial activities but also single-handedly drove the rise of manufacturing industries like the wool textile industry.

Naturally, they have also established a close community of interests with the Hightins Land Nobility, who supply raw materials.

Moreover, the "Monetary Restoration Party" on the Southern Continent is being surrounded and attacked.

The Remit people, knowing not to put all their eggs in one basket, have begun to select new "hosts."

"Freemason Society" learned from the former’s lessons, not advocating for prioritizing state-building, but swinging its "monetary power" to implement economic colonization of various nations.

The plan starts with the Kingdom of Hightins, recognized as the second strongest maritime power nation.

Additionally, when Edward IV sought war loans from Great Remit Bankers, he not only recognized the nation established by Monetary Restoration Party on the Southern Continent.

He also signed agreements, allowing unlimited numbers of Remit people to reside, do business, in the Kingdom of Hightins, with restrictions only on their participation in politics and military (Chapter 511).

"If you offer yourself up for death, it would be impolite of us Remit people not to take over.

The ’Freemason Society’ will also begin its ascent onto the historical stage from here."

The Demon Lord, Death Pianist Lorraina, clearly did not understand Hightins’s national condition as well as the Remit people.

Public Willpower is the foundation of Royal Iron Law, and initiating a profound reform representing a new interest group from bottom to top is far more reliable than replacing the upper tier with demons, and much more feasible.

If they carry out their established plan step-by-step, it will truly be feasible to end the reign of all kings of this era.
