Chapter 1076: When the rice is ripe, the sword is raised
"Digging ditches, building reservoirs, irrigating thousands of miles of fertile fields, you are actually tossing these now. ”
"Is there anything wrong?" Murria looked at Fernand, who was taking care of his business.
"There's nothing wrong with it, I just don't think it fits your form. Fernand replied as he reviewed the document.
"No way, soldiers all need to eat, and if I want to rely on them to conquer other countries and rule, I must fill their stomachs, otherwise everything I say is empty. ”
"So you're doing all this to prepare for war?" Fernand picked up an official letter requesting the digging of a ditch and shook it towards Muria.
"That's right. ”
"In that case, then you have to make it clear to the soldiers below that the war is over now, but the army is still restless, and they are hungry for war. ”
"I won't go to war anytime soon, and no country will dare to invade the country of Gay again. ”
"You have to do a good job of appeasing the whole country, you have transformed the whole country into a greedy monster, but you only let it eat the first bite of meat, and then you will chain it up and prevent it from eating any more, and you will incur the resentment and resentment of the whole country. ”
"I didn't put a chain on this monster, I was just preparing for this monster's second feeding. ”
Muria walked to the entrance of the main hall with her hands on her back, overlooking the bustling capital below.
With his single-handedly defeating the powerful men of the three countries who invaded with their armies, as well as the high-ranking military commanders, the Gay Kingdom completely established its position as a small hegemon among the surrounding countries.
The Guy Kingdom became an unprovoked existence, and because the Guy Kingdom received a large amount of indemnities and materials during the war, the Guy Kingdom became one of the few wealthy countries in the region.
Because he was not prepared to start a war with other countries for the time being, Muria began to develop commerce, importing raw materials from various countries, exporting processed goods, and using the trade surplus, he wantonly collected wool from neighboring countries.
There is no shortage of wise men among the rulers of these countries, who can see that this commercial behavior of Muria is tantamount to another kind of war, another kind of plunder for their country, but what can they see.
In the face of the strength that Muria is showing now, they can only swallow their anger and endure Muria's constant blood and flesh cutting on them.
This also created the prosperity of the capital in Muria's eyes at this time, and this prosperity was based on the exploitation of countries.
"What are you looking at? At this moment, a urging voice containing dissatisfaction sounded behind Muria.
"It's enough for you to take care of the business. Muria remained motionless, admiring the bustle below.
"Less nonsense, it is the responsibility of a king to deal with official business, and I, as your father, can help you or handle it for you, but you must also learn how to deal with it. ”
The voice of hatred sounded behind Muria, and Fernand expressed unusual indignation at Muria's behavior of fishing naked under his nose.
"There's no need, it's enough for you and the ministers to help me, I just need to point out a general direction, and you will deal with it. ”
Muria said without looking back, in the hall behind him, the ghost aura was deep and dead, in addition to the bruised Fernande, there were dozens of ghouls holding the official pen in their hands, bowing their heads to review government affairs.
These were princely ministers who acted against Muria's changes and were forcibly transformed into ghouls by him.
Although these people are Muria's opponents, their ability is also undoubted, because they can do it when they think of it, so they are targeted by Muria.
In the absence of war now, Muria did not idle this group of guys, but made the best use of them, directly brought them out, and reviewed government affairs for himself.
"What kind of attitude do you have? Come over to me. Hearing Muria's words, Fernand was furious and threw the pen directly on the table.
"What's wrong?" Murria turned around a little helplessly.
"Dealing with government affairs is what the king must do, by handling government affairs, the king can understand the whole country, and then he can better carry out targeted governance, you don't do anything, let me do it all with these guys for you, like what?"
"Isn't that nice? And father, I don't have to deal with government affairs to control the whole country, and know everything that happens in the country at all times. ”
"I don't do it. Hearing Muria's words, Fernand got up angrily.
"It's okay not to do it, you just take a break and let them do it, anyway, without you, the speed of handling government affairs will not be much slower. Muria smiled as she looked at the hall full of ghouls.
"You ......" Fernand, who was haunted by the breath of death, immediately trembled with anger when he heard Muria's answer, but his face did not change much because of this, after all, he was now a dead man.
"You're not allowed to do it. Fernand, who was so angry with Muria, yelled at these ghouls, who were all his vassals.
But unfortunately, after hearing Fernand's words, these people remained motionless and continued to bow their heads to deal with the government affairs assigned to them by Muria.
After seeing such a scene, Fernand suddenly became even more angry, he angrily put on his sleeve robe, and then disappeared directly into the main hall.
"You all do a good job, as long as you can complete the duties I have assigned to you, I can guarantee that your family's bloodline can continue, and even inherit the glory of your family again. ”
After Muria's words fell, the ghouls who handled the government affairs in Muria's place turned faster, and it was clear that they were stimulated by Muria's words.
Because of Muria's foresight, these princes and ministers retained all their memories to the greatest extent after being transformed into ghouls, so they remembered everything in their lives clearly.
Muria directly wiped out their family and turned them into this immortal appearance, and of course their hearts were full of resentment.
But after taking away everything they had, Muria left them with a glimmer of hope, and no matter which family, when Muria cleansed, they left some children behind.
These children, even some of whom are living on the streets, have become Muria's biggest control over these princely ministers, and the only hope for these princely ministers.
In order for their family to continue, they can tolerate Muria's continuous exploitation of them, of course, what they are doing now is not exploitation, it is just to use their own talents, it can be said that there is no difficulty.
......
"Uncle, what are you looking at?"
Next to the paddy field that had just been sown, a young child looked at the strong man with a scar on his face and asked.
"I'm looking at these paddy fields. The strong man reached out and rubbed the hair of the child next to him, and replied with a smile on his face.
"But don't we see this every day?
The child was puzzled by his uncle's behavior and said he could not understand it.
"Boy, your uncle is looking at some paddy field, he is waiting for the rice to ripen and then go to war. ”
At this time, a passing young man with a hoe on his shoulder immediately replied with a smile after hearing the child's doubts.
"What does the ripening of rice have to do with fighting?" the child was even more puzzled, he could not yet understand the cause and effect.
"The relationship is big, and people are needed to fight a war, but soldiers need to eat enough to fight a war, so they can only fight a war after the rice is ripe and there is enough food. The young man explained with a smile.
"Oh!" the child's face flashed with a look of realization.
"Go and go, what are you talking to the children about?" said the strong man with the scar on his face, his face showing a look of hesitation.
"Tell me what's wrong in advance? Look at your kid, he is only so big, his body has grown so tall, you know that it is a good material at a glance, you give him more good food, raise his body well, and then practice, and then match him with a good horse, and directly join the army as a knight, this military merit is not just a casual fish." ”
"you, how can military merit be so easy to get. Hearing the young man's words, the strong man scolded with a smile.
"You're all mixed up, your nephew's starting point is higher than yours, it's not a big problem to get an official doctor. ”
"Doctor Guan, hehe, I'm afraid that even if I work hard, I may not be able to get it, but military merit has to be earned with my life. The strong man raised his hand and touched the scar on his face.
"But it's worth it! as long as we kill enough, even our mud legs can try what it's like to be a noble?"
"Aristocrats. Hearing this word, the strong man's eyes suddenly showed a look of longing, but this longing and longing quickly turned into a bloodthirsty light, and black and gray hairs emerged from his body.
"Hey, take it easy, you're scaring the kids. Seeing the strong man who began to show inhuman changes on his body, the young man hurriedly reminded.
"It's okay, Yu. Seeing his nephew, who was trembling and seemed to be about to cry, the strong man quickly reined in his strength.
"I said you're going crazy, and I can't wait to kill someone with a knife when I see what you just looked like. ”
"Aren't you too?" the strong man glanced at the young man, and he could see the deep longing in the young man's eyes.
"The king said that he would not start the war again until the grain was ripe, but this was the fifth year, and there was no movement. ”
"Come on, in the past few years, ditches have been dug everywhere, and the grain in our fields has increased year by year, and every year there is a bumper harvest, and at this rate, the war will begin immediately. ”
"When this year's rice is ripe, I don't know if there will be a war. ”
"I think so. ”
