Power and Empire Chapter 2369: The Emperor’s Knife (8)
I really devote my heart and soul to daily chores, and they are well organized, which makes people have to admire me. Even Nilai in the northern part of Salander mentioned the pseudonym Tirna of Tirronte. Rand, this is also the reason why the fat man finally decided to choose Tirna Rand as the administrative officer of Lisbon.
Lisboa served as the headquarters of the empire's maritime trade. It has always been the subject of close attention from all parties. This time, when Lisbon asked the administrative officials to vacate, it immediately stirred up the storms of all parties. Such a heavy position was originally a weight that affected the balance of power.
The two most prosperous business circles of the empire, one is the southwest area, the core area of the empire's inland commerce, and is seated by the one-eyed Saron, a diehard loyal to the emperor's heart. Military and political integration, Li Yuehua’s intelligence department checks, it can be described as an iron bucket, no one can get in,
The other is Lisbon in the south. Tens of thousands of merchant ships from all over Obaro enter and leave here. The trading houses here are not closed for 24 hours. Even late at night, you can hear the humming of business carriages. With millions of transactions every day, it is simply a flowing river of gold. How not to arouse people's jealousy, it is not that no high-level empire has tried to make a move, Princess Swadian, the empire princess Haroldian sent the most confidant maid. As a result, the Tuo disappeared silently in Lisbon, no one was born, no corpse was seen!
Tulit Colleen, the princess of the Empire, the head of the Oubaro family, and a native of Lisbon. With one hand in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, one of the emperor’s favorite concubines who held up the prosperity of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire with one hand, such a character, was beaten to blood, but with such an identity, an order from the emperor had to leave, It is said that it was the normal relocation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In fact, the entire upper empire was shaken by the incident. This is the emperor’s warning
This time the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs released the vacancy of the Lisboa Administrative Officer, the calm situation is full of strange waves
The empire is responsible for the internal affairs of Princess Maomana, the first princess who gave birth to the crown prince of the empire. At this critical moment, she chose to go to the northern city wall, and the setback Princess Haraudian was also left behind. A stall of supplicants, hurriedly followed,
The important military minister, Hu Keqili, Minister of Imperial Affairs, went to the northern part of Congo in the name of patrolling at night. The military and political figures all left the Imperial Kyoto together, so that all the forces were learning about the Lisbon trust. When the administrative officer fell on an unknown Tirronte, he didn't know how to react!
The report that Fatty is reviewing contains the contents of these imperial forces on this matter. All forces are taking various measures to find out what is the sacred Tierronte who picked the biggest peach. , Which force is it,
I’m afraid that only the emperor knows that Tyrronte is the lord Tirnarante of the County of Prell, and does not belong to any faction. If you really want to count it, it’s the emperor’s faction. Tirnarante is A chess piece played by myself,
This new Lisboa administrative officer is drawing the attention of the entire empire, which is what the fat man needs
At this time, the empire needs an external appearance, and it must have a sufficient amount of attention to show that the empire has no awareness of fighting against the six countries at this time, so it is not ready to be related to war. The empire The main force in the northern long wall repairs, the entire empire is still fighting for the matter of Lisboa. At this time, who will pay attention to the six southern countries?
Only in this way, the six southern countries will reveal their hidden layouts. From the land, there are not many weaknesses in the empire. If there is, it should be in the newly conquered Feshan and Eastern provinces. In terms of seas, the imperial navy’s control is there, so it is unlikely that the six countries will strike militarily, but it is difficult to say economically. If there is, then the battlefield will undoubtedly be the headquarters of the imperial maritime trade, Lisbon. Trust!
Tirnarante in the carriage obviously didn't know how powerful he was. After hearing what the emperor had said, his expression was obviously taken aback. What did the emperor mean, lack of manpower, basically population The meaning of insufficient is easy to understand. The question is, how can there be insufficient population? Kill it all! Tirnarante trembled, although he saw something. But I didn't expect the emperor to say so without shyness. Walking in the place where the corpses were once on the ground, what was the emperor's inner thoughts? This is an area controlled by the empire, so naturally the empire did it. Are you appreciating the results of your own butcher knife?
It’s no wonder that Tirnarante was thinking too far. You know, if the empire had just entered Obalo, it would be understandable to say that there was a shortage of manpower, but now it is still said that there is insufficient manpower. It seems a bit far-fetched. The population of the empire exceeded 200 million last summer. This is what Tirnarante saw in the monthly empire government affairs bulletin, which was published by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the empire. Internal publications are mainly used to inform government officials of the empire about some political affairs of the empire. Because the scope of the empire is too large, the publication period can only be set once a month.
What is the concept of two billion? The population of the entire Ikadiva is only 60 million, which is the total population of more than three Ikadiva continents, so Tirnarante had to be convinced by the Vicia Falcon. Facing such an opponent who is like a god, whether it is government affairs or military affairs, any dissatisfaction is a joke
"The administrative officials on this land are so lazy that large tracts of porch fields have been left unused. Even if it is caused by insufficient manpower, at least more villages should be built on the main road of the empire. There are still a lot of caravans. Caravans need a place to rest when passing by, and the caravans that come and go will also bring more business opportunities. Selling local products is also a good choice."
Tirnarante said. Having been an administrative officer for a few years, he has long ceased to be the closed little lord in terms of knowledge, and he is more ideologically accepting the idea of rejuvenating the country by business, but he has just tasted the northern part of the empire. The dazzling and messy and prosperous scene hasn't had time to digest it, and the huge contrast immediately hits the face. Everything in front of you shows the inaction and laissez-faire of the district administrative officials.
"Also, why is there a shortage of manpower here? If I am not mistaken, here is the best land and rich fisheries, enough to become a densely populated area"
Tirnarante showed some caution in his tone, speaking very lightly. In fact, his hands were clenched together unconsciously under the table. Facing the pressure of an emperor, ordinary people could not handle it. And the reason why I dared to ask this is because I know that the Vickia Falcon is still taking care of himself, and it seems that it is the subtle relationship of friends who have been transformed from enemies, that allows me to have the opportunity to turn over. Of course, The intricate relationship between my sister and the emperor should also be a factor,
The emperor’s war with Tyre was rumored to be the emperor’s revenge for women, so that now, his sister does not even have a suitor. The emperor’s woman, who dares to marry, followed her to Saran Til Nuris of De, began to believe in the doctrine of the sky, and decided to be alone in this way. She thought of the lonely figure of her sister who was standing at the port to see her off from the empire before leaving. I don’t know why, Tirnarant thought. Take a bit of irony to the man in front of you,
"I don't slaughter civilians"
The fat man heard the chill in Tirnarante’s sentence, and finally looked away from the report. He was a little surprised what happened to this guy. He raised his head and glanced at him.
Fatty has been rumored to be a demon who killed millions of people during the local united war. He doesn’t dislike himself as a murderous demon, but Fatty definitely doesn’t like giving others a scapegoat. He sees Tirnarante’s face. Some became green, and then he said slowly, "It is reasonable to say that after conquering an area, I will make great efforts to rectify the conquered area and restore production. For the massacre of civilians, it will only become a stumbling block to rapid recovery, the only time. You know what’s going on more clearly than I am about the fire in the King’s Capital of Vikia”
"Fire in the royal capital!"
Tirnarante’s face turned pale. I am afraid he knows best what is going on in the royal capital. His madness at the beginning makes Tirnarante feel terrified now when he thinks about it. It’s not that he has become very big, but that he is fierce in troubled times. In the peaceful era, there will be a sort of human resurrection. The fire burned 80,000 people and also burned a dynasty
"The unification war of Ikadiva, the confrontation of hundreds of thousands of armies, our army combined more than 100,000 casualties, I still accepted the Swadian capital Paravin, the Nord capital, and Dorok. The surrender of the central city Aaron "the fat man's voice paused before continuing" and forgave most of the nobles in these countries who opposed me. This was also after the unification of Ikadiva, the localities chose to admit it after minor fluctuations. The reason for my rule is that I have the name of the devil, but I do the things of angels."
"The farmers got the land they wanted, the merchants got the opportunity to make big money, and the nobles took the industry compensation money, either to spend a leisurely life as a manor, or to transform into a merchant to continue to win the family’s wealth. Rise again and struggle again. The elites of the military continue to serve in the Imperial Army. In addition to the change in the object of allegiance, in addition to no longer unnecessary internal friction, the real change is not very big."
"Believe it or not, the people who occupy the area are my people. I have always upheld this point, and I have never changed it!" There was something like starlight flashing in the fat black pupils, and he looked at I glanced at the silent wilderness outside the window and took a deep breath
"The desolation here~IndoMTL.com~ has nothing to do with me. This is the Moro province. It is only seventy miles away from Kyoto. The emperor of Istanbul first broke through the Moro province and then thundered. As soon as he could not hide his ears, day and night, the striker smashed to a place 30 miles away from Gangfei, which eventually led to the second relocation of the Gangfei empire. More than two million Gangfei people died here. Piece area"
"The massive loss of population has caused this area that was originally the core of the Congolese empire to become an uninhabited wilderness. In addition, the empire’s deliberate emptying during the Sino-European War in the early stage happened to be geographically located. The southwestern area of the empire, recognized as the most prosperous area in the inland area of the empire, and the southern sea trade base of Lisboa, most of the manpower and materials will be unknowingly attracted away, so that in the Empire In the area where the north and south of Luo joined, there appeared a huge blank area of more than 300 miles from north to south and nearly a thousand miles long."
The fat man calmly closed the documents in his hand. Tirnarante went south as the administrative officer of Lisbon, so it is normal to receive government reports along the way. No one will know that most of the documents are given to Another person in the carriage,
"This is called the scar of the empire! It takes more than patience, but also opportunity!"
"Opportunity?" Tirlanat's face was slightly flustered,
"When you arrive in Lisbon, you will know! It should have already started there!" The fat man did not continue to explain, his eyes were out of the window, the grass was full, and it was also a kind of scenery. Instead, Tirnarant saw the opposite emperor. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the slightly raised corner of his mouth looked more like a sharp knife (to be continued.)
