Chapter 0326: Adjust military spending

In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed, the harvest festival is coming, and the sleet is coming in advance, but this does not reduce the joy and enthusiasm in people's hearts.

Because this year's harvest festival is a bit special, in addition to food and wine, there are also a variety of wonderful performances to watch, and the most anticipated show is the military parade of the Earldom of Meredith.

In order to show the majesty of the county of Meredith and increase the self-confidence and pride of the people, Renard personally drew up the parade plan.

Cavalry, infantry, and firearms each sent 1,000 people to participate in the parade, which included phalanx parade performances, martial arts performances, combat performances, and so on.

Since the plan was drawn up, these 3,000 people have to spare two hours every day for drills, and it has been two months now, and the results have been remarkable.

Today, the total population of the county of Meredith has soared from 30,000 to 280,000, and the area has increased from more than 2,000 square kilometers to 7,000 square kilometers, second only to Fort Duncan today.

Every day, homeless people come here to make a living, and there are many merchants who come here to set up shop here, making the whole territory lively.

Renard never dreamed that he would be sitting on such a huge territory and power at the age of twenty-two, and these things in front of him were really like a dream.

I just hope it's not a dream, he thought to himself.

Just as Renard was sorting out the information, Robertson and Jimmy walked in at the same time, each holding two stacks of papers, and Lei Ye had a headache when he saw it.

According to the order of the elder and the youngest, Robertson took the lead in reporting his work: "Your Excellency, these are invitations to the surrounding lords and nobles, all of them have been filled out, can you see who else needs to be added?"

After saying that, he respectfully placed the gold-rimmed red invitation on his desk.

Renard flipped through it briefly for a while and asked, "Are all the lords and nobles around the county of Meredith included?"

Robertson pondered for a moment and replied, "Everything that has to do with it is included, whether it is those who have lost their territory or those who have not lost their territory. ”

Renard nodded when he heard this, and then motioned for the other party to take the stack of invitations to Heidi: "Let Heidi check if there is any omission, and if there is no problem, send someone to distribute it." ”

Robertson said yes and left the office with the invitation in hand.

Immediately afterwards, Jimmy walked up, put the thick information on the desk, and reported the work in the same concise tone: "Your Excellency, this is the new number of sergeants this year, the amount of military pay required per month, and the details of last year's expenditure......"

Renard raised his hand and interrupted, "You go and call Henry, Christopher, Tracy, Tommy and Ben Benjamin, forget it, Cliffor and Ray Dawang too." ”

He didn't want to deal with so much by himself, otherwise he would have to bow down early.

Jimmy nodded, turned and walked out of the office, apparently to deliver orders.

Jimmy has just turned sixteen years old this year, and his composure and ability are not inferior to many veteran oils, which really surprised Lei Ye, and at the same time was a little relieved, after all, the other party was his descendant.

After waiting for about half an hour, Tracy, Christopher, Tommy, and Ben Ben Jieming came to the office one after another, because they all belonged to Lei Ye's descendants, so even if they belonged to the military and political factions, the four of them still seemed very affectionate when they met.

After waiting for about forty minutes, Henry, Cliffor, and Ray Dawang arrived at the same time, apparently all three of them had been together before.

Fortunately, everyone is preparing for the big military parade, otherwise it will not be possible to find it in a short time, after all, Colliver and his people are stationed in Meredith City, which is the farthest away from the city of plenty, and the two cities are dozens of kilometers apart, and it will take half a day to go back and forth, to say the least.

Renard did not waste everyone's time, and directly explained the reason for calling them: "You look at these materials, whether there are any discrepancies, and any comments and suggestions can also be put forward. ”

The seven of them looked at each other, and then, starting with Ray Dawang, went through the pair of materials in front of them.

Seeing this, Renard raised his eyebrows, although everyone did not speak, but the humility of the upper and lower levels has been vividly reflected.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, if everyone is kind and equal, then we should be worried.

Respect and order is the key to maintaining the stability of the territory, as the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle, if the soldier dares to argue with the general, then what rules are there to speak of, the order can not be reached, it is not far from the chaos.

Renard didn't bother them, and looked at what he was holding.

This one is really good, it's called "The Ambition of the King of Riding and Slashing", and it tells the story of a small lord who becomes a king by his own efforts.

Although the layout is a bit small, the writing is quite fine (PS: the fundamental book has nothing to do with it).

Two hours later, when Lei Ye was reading with relish, the seven of them finally finished reading the document at hand.

"The number of firearms troops has not increased, it has always been 3,000 men, and there is no objection to the expenditure. ”

Cliffor added: "The number of cavalry is two thousand three hundred and twenty-seven, and there is no problem with expenditure. ”

Henry nodded: "The number of infantry is three thousand five hundred and seventy-two, and there is no problem in terms of expenditure. ”

Renard looked at Tracy and Christopher again, and both nodded in agreement, affirming that the numbers on the information were roughly accurate.

Tommy and Ben Benjamin asked in advance why they were looking for themselves, and even brought the account book with military expenditures in advance, and it was not bad at all.

The numbers on this information are accurate to single digits, and even the replacement of weapons and equipment by a certain cavalry squad in a certain month can be clearly remembered.

Lei Ye nodded, pointed to the number above and said: "I'm not afraid of cumbersomeness, I'm afraid of negligence, and the accounting will be as detailed as this in the future, and I feel that the salary is low, you can reflect it to me, but I don't want to be a black sheep at this tense moment." ”

When everyone heard this, they were awe-inspiring and hurriedly nodded yes.

Ray Dawang looked at the people around him, and seeing that none of them had any intention of giving an opinion, he took the lead in speaking: "I think the salary of a sergeant is a little low now. ”

Renard turned to look at him and motioned to continue.

Ray Tawang took out two notes from his pocket: "When I visited the market yesterday, I simply wrote down the prices of several grains and vegetables, which are more than three times higher than in previous years, and our soldiers' salaries are still the same as a few years ago, and they can't afford to support their families at all." ”

Renard glanced at the note a few times, and then nodded: "I wrote this down, and I will deal with this matter in three days." ”

It is a matter of military morale, and he naturally has to deal with it in a timely manner.

Ray Dawang pondered for a moment, and asked with some anxiety, "What are you going to do?"

Reynard thought for a moment, and suddenly asked rhetorically, "Since you raised this question, is there a solution to the problem?"
