A lot of great things happened in the year 162 of the new calendar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On April 1, Pershing? Battier announced his retirement. On the same day, Vice Minister of Finance Zhou Gu succeeded him as Minister of Finance.

Zhou Gu's entry into the Central Ministry of Finance was after the end of the counterinsurgency war. On the day he received the order, Zhou Gu was at a loss, thinking to himself, how could I, the mayor of Baicunbao, be transferred to the Ministry of Finance as a deputy minister?

In fact, long before the start of the counterinsurgency war, Pershing had already designated Zhou Gunei as his heir, and among the hundreds of candidates, he was the only one who passed the assessment perfectly. Zhou Gu is a very simple person and a hard worker. It took him 20 years to transform from an illiterate peasant who could not even mentally calculate addition and subtraction within 10 years to an excellent mayor who could write reports fluently and find out the problems in the financial statements by mental arithmetic alone. Even now, Zhou Gu has to find time to read and study every day to improve his knowledge.

Zhou Gu lives a frugal life, but he is not stingy, he spends money where he should spend, and he doesn't spend a penny where he shouldn't. He has a few savings in his family, which is basically maintained at about two times of Ira's money, and he always uses the extra money to treat guests to dinner, or lend it to those in need for free.

He was an upright man, and some officials advised him to buy investment bonds in the bank in the name of his children, and when he refused, he warned his officials to be more restrained. From the very beginning of the establishment of the Kingdom Bank, the Byrons family enacted laws prohibiting officials and civil servants from purchasing investment vouchers. Investment vouchers are an additional source of income for the common people, and the welfare benefits of officials and civil servants are already very high, so there is no need to compete with the common people for dividends.

However, a considerable number of officials and civil servants will buy investment vouchers in the name of their family members, and because the total amount of transactions in a region is limited, the total amount of investment vouchers is also limited. Officials and civil servants are more convenient than ordinary people to buy investment vouchers, and their intervention will directly lead to the inability of ordinary people who really need investment voucher dividends to buy investment vouchers.

In the city of Baicunbao alone, investment vouchers with an amount of up to 55 yen were purchased by officials and civil servants in the name of their families. The total amount of investment vouchers in Baicun Fort was only 210 kan ira, which means that more than 25 percent of the dividends that should have been distributed to the people were taken by officials and civil servants.

This kind of thing was quite common in the empire, so Zhou Gu wrote to the Ministry of Administration more than once, hoping that the state would enact relevant laws to prohibit officials and the families of civil servants from buying investment vouchers. Both the Byrons family and the cabinet were interested in reforming, but because the Byrons family expanded too fast, until Zhou Gu succeeded as Minister of Finance, the empire's household registration had not been sorted out, and the household registration management system was not perfect. Even if it were to be legislated directly, it would be difficult for the Imperial Bank to tell whether the people who bought the investment vouchers were family members of officials and civil servants.

In the second month of Zhou Gu's succession as Minister of Finance, He Yan Ruizhi, the presiding officer of the Imperial Bank and the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, died, and his eldest son He Yan Zhiliang succeeded him as the president of the Imperial Bank and the president of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. Zhou Gu had a son and three daughters, and he followed Pershing's advice to marry the eldest daughter to Prince Hart, the second daughter to the eldest son of He Yan Zhiliang, and Yan Weikang, the third daughter to the son of Stranzie, the new mayor of Byron City, Papua, and the eldest son to marry the daughter of Sarin. From this time on, the Zhou family gained a firm foothold in Byron City and became friends with the Battier family for generations.

It is worth mentioning that since Pershing had no sons, Patton was celibate, so the Battier family in Byron City was left without males. Barton deliberately returned to Sackin City, and the Batyr family in Sackin City chose a twelve-year-old boy for Pershing, and asked the Batyr family in Sakin City to pass him on to Pershing as a son. This boy named Sasanian was the third Minister of Finance of the Empire, Sasani? Battier. Sasansan? Battier married the daughter of Yan Zhiheng and Yanmeng, and his son Duin? Battier married Zhou Gu's great-granddaughter again, Duin? Battier's son is the famous Meschke? Batyr, the powerful man who married eighteen imperial princesses.

On June 11, the Imperial Mint was officially established. On the 20th of the same month, Emperor Mehr carried out a currency reform, issued Byron Stone coins, and exchanged them throughout the country to recover and destroy the currencies of various ethnic groups. Currency reform was a long process until the year 200 of the new calendar, and there were still some remote areas where the old currency was used.

The Imperial Mint was under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family, and the first director was named Lily, a Tayrong elf. At the inauguration, she wanted Mel to give her a name, but Maier couldn't excuse herself in front of so many people, and couldn't think about it, so she could only borrow the name of the deceased dog and name her "Lily". The Imperial Mint is under the sole responsibility of the Tairong Fairy, and each director inherits the name "Lily", so every time the Emperor explains his work to the Imperial Mint, he directly says to the guards: "Go and call Lily." ”

Over time, "Lily" became synonymous with the head of the Imperial Mint. The Imperial newspaper once mistakenly wrote "the ninth director of the Imperial Mint" as "the ninth Lily", and as a result, not only did the checker not read the error, but also the people who read the newspaper after the newspaper was printed and distributed.

Later, a member of the royal family found a mistake while flipping through old newspapers, and he told the other royals about it as a joke, but the royals who heard it thought for a long time before realizing that "Lily" was the name of the director of the Imperial Mint, not the title of the director of the Imperial Mint.

On August 7, General Tengyuan retired and concentrated on practicing martial arts. On August 15, Prince Hamr led an army of 200,000 to besiege the ancient city of Bo, and Xiaohu, the head of the Xiaohu family, sent people to negotiate to surrender to Prince Hamr in order to keep the rights of some nobles of the Xiaohu family. Prince Hamr allowed the Xiaohu family to keep their property, but the Xiaohu family had to give up all nobility rights.

At first, the Xiaohu family refused to accept the terms of surrender, and Prince Hamr directly used the first attack city to bombard a section of the undefended city wall, and then Xiaohu Liantong quickly accepted Prince Hame's conditions and surrendered to the imperial army. The Imperial Army confiscated the weapons and equipment of the noble army, but failed to collect the weapons and equipment of the nobles' private soldiers. Because Prince Hamr allowed the Xiaohu family to keep the family property, and the private soldiers and the weapons and equipment of the private soldiers were part of the family property.

After the surrender of the Xiaohu family, the nobles of Tairong sent envoys to Prince Hamr, hoping to surrender to the imperial army on the same terms. Prince Hamr accepted the surrender of the Tayjon nobles, and then wrote to Emperor Mayr that the Tayjon nobles would not die and would rebel in the future.

On October 7, Emperor Maier established the "Garrison Military Region". The so-called garrison military region is to establish garrison barracks in areas where the old aristocratic forces have not been eradicated, and to guard against the rebellion of the old aristocratic forces.

On 19 October, the 157th Tayyong Regular Brigade and the Bauhinia Tayrong Elf Regiment engaged in an armed clash that resulted in the deaths of 45 Tayyong soldiers and 3 Tayrong officers, 13 Tayrong elves and 1 female Ilibi officer, 126 Tayrong soldiers and 12 Tayyong officers, and 65 Tayrong elves and 3 female Ilibi officers.

The 157th Tairong Regular Brigade was ambushed by the Dugu Army on the march, and the 157th Tairong Regular Brigade was behind the Bauhinia Tairong Fairy Legion, and the 821st Tairong Regular Regiment was next to the 9th Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Bauhinia Tairong Fairy Legion. Since the ambush site of the Dugu army was located at the junction of the two armies, both forces suffered many casualties.

During the battle, the soldiers of the 821st Taeyong Regular Regiment picked up the weapons and ammunition of the dead or wounded Taeyong elves, and together with the Taeyong elves, they opened fire on the enemy army, knocking them back. After the war, the soldiers of the 821st Taeyong Regular Regiment refused to return the new rifles and ammunition, and when persuasion failed, the 9th Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Bauhinia Taeyong Fairy Regiment could only threaten with force. However, the 821st Tairong Regular Regiment did not accept this and insisted on taking the new rifles and ammunition for themselves.

The two sides quickly escalated from verbal to physical, and eventually to an armed conflict. By the time the Northland Army and the Bauhinia Tairong Fairy Legion sent people to mediate, the conflict had already caused a large number of casualties. The final result of the mediation was that the 821st Tairong Regular Regiment returned the new rifles and ammunition to the 9th Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Bauhinia Tairong Fairy Regiment, and the two forces reached a superficial reconciliation.

Due to the failure of the Northland Army and the Bauhinia Taeyong Elven Legion to block the news in time, the Inspectorate's action was also slowed down, and the armed conflict had a very bad impact on the Tayrong forces and the Tayjung Elf Legion, as well as the relationship between the Ilibi forces and the Tayrong forces.

On November 9, the middle and senior officers of the Tairong troops wrote a "joint letter of 100 people", hoping that the Byron family could replace the Tairong troops with ultra-modern equipment. If Maier accepts these men's requests, then he will also have to equip the Ilibi, Ira, Letin, and Tugu forces with ultra-modern equipment.

The production of ultra-modern equipment is sufficient, and it is only a matter of time before the troops are equipped. It is easy to say that the Ilibi people can be trusted, but the Tairong troops, the Ira troops, the Letin troops, and the Tugu people troops are obviously not fully trusted. Despite the existence of the National Assembly, the racial problem of the empire was not fundamentally solved.

The contradictions between the major races are particularly evident, with most of the country's towns and villages dominated by a single race, and the only city that can accommodate all races is the city of Byrons. Because of this, after the establishment of the Byronic Empire, the city built deep in the mountains remained the capital of the empire.

When the empire unified the world, the Byrons family had to face racial contradictions at home. If the troops of all races in the country were equipped with ultra-modern equipment, the Byrons family would not be able to deal with the problem with too strong a force. Once a large-scale mutiny in the army of a certain ethnic group, the consequences are unimaginable.

Therefore, even if they were trustworthy Ilibi people, the Byron family did not equip them with ultra-modern equipment, but let the Tairong goblin settlement establish a modern equipment production line, increase the production of advanced muskets, and gradually replace all the Ilibi troops with modern troops, so as to achieve the purpose of enhancing the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The same is true for troops of other races. For the current state of war, a large number of advanced muskets were sufficient for the Imperial Army. The reason why Mayr uses ultra-modern equipment is because they have already been developed and mass-produced, so they don't need to be used in vain.

But the existence of such equipment has both advantages and disadvantages for the Empire, as Mayer once said, the excessive development of military technology is not a good thing for the country. In the absence of an enemy who must fight for his life, it is enough for the weapon to ensure its own safety, and it is not necessary to be easily lethal. Moreover, in order to protect themselves, people must not only rely on weapons, but also solve security problems at the source. As long as the source has not been cut off, no matter how far self-defense weapons are developed, humanity will be harmed by the same kind.

However, cutting off the source is impossible even in the eyes of the Byrons family, who dare to single out the whole world. In order to reduce domestic unrest, the Byrons must limit the development of weapons and put ultra-modern weapons only in reliable hands, because only by doing so will weapons be used to protect others, not to harm them.

For the Byrons family, there were only two reliable races in the New World at the time, one was the most reliable Tajon elf, and the other was the trustworthy Ilibi. Apart from them, ultra-modern equipment can only be distributed to those who are loyal enough to the Byrens family. Later, the Byrons family realized that not only military science and technology should be restricted, but also the distribution of weapons, and even production technology and production equipment should also be restricted.

Human beings, as long as they master the production technology and production equipment, and get the raw materials for production, can produce what they want. If events are left unfolded, civilians may be able to produce more sophisticated weaponry. At that time, Liu Xiu must have died, and the scientific and technological concepts of the Byron family have been on par with the times, and those with evil intentions will use these weapons and equipment to cause trouble, and even plunge the new world back into chaos.

On 11 November, Emperor Mair rejected the request of the Tairong troops. Half a month later, fourteen brigades of Tayjong troops mutinied en masse and were quickly pacified by the Imperial Army. There is information that these troops were in secret contact with the Tayyong nobles who surrendered.

On December 13, the Kingdom of Elt sent an emissary to the Byronic Empire for help. The Elt nobles could not resist the attack of the "revolutionary army", and hoped that the Byronic Empire could send troops to help them quell the rebellion. The Elt nobles promised that as long as the Byron Empire sent troops, they would force the Ayrtic royal family to relinquish the throne and let the Byrons family take charge of the Eyrt Kingdom.

The Byronic army had already suffered a big loss in the kingdom of Elt, so Mel did not immediately accept the request of the Elt nobles. After some deliberation with the cabinet ministers, Mair decided to send another army to the kingdom of Elt.
