Law of the Devil Chapter 346: [Thunder’s Whip]
Chapter 346 [Thunder Whip]
"Ah !!!" The Chancellor of the Exchequer shuddered suddenly and called out, "His Royal Highness! This is absolutely not possible!"
Unexpectedly, the regent did not get angry because he opposed his command. The young monarch took a deep breath, his eyes were complicated, and then slowly, word by word: "Master Munez, take orders! My decision will not change."
The Minister of Finance Munez's heart was a fierce moment. He seemed to see a deep weight from the eyes of the young Highness! It's too heavy to breathe.
However, as the finance minister of the empire, he still remembered his duties firmly, the old guy bit his teeth, and suddenly fell on his knees. He raised his head and looked at the Regent:
"His Royal High! Taxes are immovable! The empire's military expenditures have been huge and burdensome for many years. Although the provinces in the south are rich, over the years, taxes have been increased six times in ten years for military expenditures! And ... to establish a main battle army, the first year must start at least 10 million, and the annual military expenditures in the future must also be at least 8 million! With the current financial strength of the empire, it would not be possible at all! If only If you rely on tax increases ... I'm afraid that in less than two years, the south will be rioting! "
The fierce look in the Regent's eyes turned again, and he suddenly sighed: "Munes, I know everything you said. So ... the tax increase will only be added for one year, and it will be restored next year. The original tax rate! But this year's tax must be added !!! As for the future ... let's talk about it later. "
Speak later?
The Minister of Finance can't help but burst into flames!
What do you mean later? Thanks to himself, he also regarded the regent as the hope of the imperial ZTE. He ... how could he be so irresponsible? !!
A 200,000-landlord battle legion. It will cost at least 10 million gold coins to set up! Then, 200,000 people are supported each year, and the weapons, horses, and grass must be maintained and replaced ... no matter how you save, you need more than 8 million gold coins every year! Taxes will be raised this year and not next year ... But starting tomorrow, where will the eight million gold coins come from each year? Do these 200,000 people starve to death? !!
Unfortunately ... the old finance minister didn't know. The thoughts of the Regent at this moment are different!
Military expenses in the future?
Hum ... these don't need to be considered anymore!
Once the war begins, whether it is 100,000 people or 200,000 people ... what is the money after the war? !!
Also ...
Do we have a choice? !!
Everyone was stunned just above the hall, not knowing this wise monarch. Suddenly there is something crazy today to expand the army, everyone is skeptical, but dare not speak ...
Suddenly, a court attendant hurried in outside the hall. Then he knelt on the ground: "His Royal Highness! Grandpa Tulip arrives ..."
The Regent raised his eyebrows, and looked at the waiter angrily: "Silk! Now that the Grandpa Tulip is here, just let him come in directly! What else are you reporting?"
The waiter was frightened, and said quickly: "His Highness ... Mr. Tulip, he didn't come alone. He brought a hundred people, and fifty carriages ... he said that all these things must be transported. Come in and take it to the gate of the hall ... The Guards will check the contents of the carriage, Grandpa Tulip, but they are not allowed ... "
"Oh?" The regent stunned.
The convener was here today. Even if Du Wei was late, why did he bring dozens of carriages with him ... and drive them to the gate of my palace hall? Don't let the guard check yet? What the **** is he doing?
In an instant. Prince Chen made the decision: "Let go! No one can stop, please invite Grandpa Tulip and his people to come in! Huh, I'll see what this guy does."
Everyone was staring at each other in the hall, and even the old Finance Minister Munez, kneeling on the ground, was there.
After a while, I heard the sound of rustling leather boots outside the hall. Subsequently. Du Wei came in.
To everyone's surprise, Dewey did not wear his usual magician. He did not wear aristocratic ornate costumes. When he came in, he was wearing a close-fitting leather armor, and on the back, he gave a cape. Looks like a bit of heroic feeling!
Huh? All outfit? !!
Looking at Du Wei as he bowed in front of him to salute, the regent smiled lightly: "Du Wei, what are you doing?"
Out of the gate of the main hall, I heard wheels rolling, dozens of large cars, stopped under the strict supervision of the Royal Palace Army.
"His Royal Highness." Du Wei looked up and smiled, "I'll give you a big gift!"
"Gift?" The regent raised a brow and said, "What gift?"
"Money!" Du Wei's answer surprised everyone.
After speaking, he turned abruptly, walked to the doorway outside the hall, stood next to a carriage closest to the hallway, and then suddenly pulled out his sword and his hands from the waist of an Imperial Forest Warrior around him. Hold it, struggling to slash a big box on the carriage to the ground ...
Click! !!
Wow, wow ...
In the hall, everyone whispered in surprise!
Gold! !!
A box full of bullion! !!
However, this is not enough. Du Wei smiled and raised five fingers at the people in the hall: "Military expenses! 50 million ... Gold coins!"
This time, everyone in the hall has changed color!
50 million gold coins? What is that concept? It is almost equal to the total fiscal revenue of the entire Roland Empire for one year! !!
The Regent couldn't stand anymore. He suddenly stepped out of the hall and walked in front of Dewey. He carefully looked at the cut box in front of him ... It's gold piece by piece! !!
In the back, there are dozens of big cars, and I don't know how many mouths are exactly the same!
"Du Wei ... Where did you get so much money!" The Regent approached Du Wei. Suddenly he grabbed his shoulder tightly.
Duhaha smiled, and then whispered, "My Highness, I made all of this money. Would you like it or not?"
Prince Chen turned his eyes, then smiled weirdly: "Yes! Why not!" But after a pause, he whispered, "What about your condition? Well, you guy, there is no return. You are afraid Don't do it. You ... what do you want? "
Du Wei no longer smiled, his face was dignified, and then he took a deep breath and said his answer:
"I want ..." His voice suddenly changed from low to firm and decisive!
"I want the Emerald River, renamed the Rollin River! I want the province of Corte, renamed the Rollin Plain! I want the Rollin family to be acquitted, my brother Gabri, to succeed hereditary count ! "
Prince Chen heard here. He immediately made a quick calculation in his heart, and then came up with a result.
The military cost of 50 million gold coins is enough to establish an elite main battle corps, and the support in the next few years can be done without worrying about ... a main battle corps, for a Rollin Plain. Moreover, the Rolling Plains had previously been restored to the territory of the Rollings' family for hundreds of years, but now they are returned, but they are just returned to their original owners.
As for restoring the title of the Rollings. Although it is a bit shameful to change your own order, it is a bit shameless ... but at this time, face is not important.
"Okay, I'm sure." Prince Chen immediately nodded and promised.
"Oh, there is a second condition." Du Wei grinned.
"There is a second one?" Prince Chen frowned, looking at Du Wei: "Dou Wei, don't you have to go in."
Du Wei said indifferently, "His Royal Highness. I have paid a lot of money, so I always have to pay more."
Prince Chen looked at the gold nuggets scattered on the ground: "Say it."
"Since the return of the Rollin Plains, the title of the Rollin family has also been restored ... then, the private army of the Rollin family must be re-established!" Du Wei said lightly: "I don't want much land, fifty thousand! Originally, there were more private troops in the Luo Lin family, but I know that Your Royal Highness is not assured that there are too many aristocratic private soldiers below. So I do n’t want much, only fifty thousand. ”
Prince Chen looked at Du Wei strangely: "There are not many 50,000 private troops. And the private army is the private army of the aristocracy. I will not interfere. You do n’t need to discuss with me."
"But. These 50,000 private troops ... I demand to mobilize to the northwest!" The words of Du Wei immediately changed the face of Prince Chen.
"Don't be too surprised, my Highness." Du Weiwei smiled: "Obviously, in order to deal with future wars, before the enemy, I guess, you must rush to smooth out the internal problems first, otherwise If an outside tiger comes in and there is a wolf in the house, then it's over. So I think you must be planning to resolve the Northwest Army as soon as possible. This mess in the Northwest, my poor army can Not enough to protect yourself ... This Luo Lin family was originally with me. I asked the private army of the Luo Lin family to help me in the northwest. Is n’t it too much? You should nod your head, otherwise, tens of thousands of troops will be free to move. Then it's a count of rebellion. "
In this court meeting of the Empire at the beginning of 963, under a resolution, the fifth main battle corps of the future Roland Empire, and an invincible male division that was well-known in the future, was born!
Since the birthplace, this legion has deeply imprinted the Duke of Tulip tulip, as if it has already heralded its future destiny.
And this legion also has a loud name in history
Thunder Whip!
