Chapter 155: New Deal 4
In order to alleviate the anger of the officials, Mars sent court physicians to massage these officials, and nearly fifty court physicians were indeed a bit too much, all of which Béla had prepared for Quinn XIII.
However, all of them were now sent by Mars to take care of the officials, and as a result, the private complaints of the officials were greatly reduced.
Even so, the reform continued, and this time, Mars completely changed the power structure, abolished the Privy Council, set up a cabinet, and now the Sunset Kingdom needs a king, so it can only set up a cabinet to deal with government affairs, the former Prime Minister Goss, the Minister of Commerce Sarn, the Minister of Justice Sherwood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Edgar, Frank, entered the cabinet, and Mars also served as the prime minister.
Under the cabinet, there are nine ministries of education, justice, finance, commerce, civil affairs, defense, security, agriculture, and industry, with Mars serving as the Minister of Defense and Industry, Frank as the Minister of Security, Education and Agriculture as the former Prime Minister Goss, and the Minister of Finance and Civil Affairs as the former Chancellor of the Exchequer Edgar, and the rest of the justice and commerce are still held by Sherwood and Saan respectively.
The establishment of the cabinet almost stunned the nobles of the kingdom, and they all had a question, did Mars come up with these things? If so, is Mars the devil?
If not, then where did Mars get it from?
Mars naturally did not tell the ministers and nobles that what he needed was for them to be able to carry out his decrees, and due to the expansion of power, no one refused the gift, and the ministers gladly accepted it, and Frank officially became an official of Sunset City.
After the establishment of the cabinet, the first selection examination for new officials of the Sunset City Kingdom will also be held in the royal capital, and this time the selection examination will attract 2,238 candidates from all over the kingdom to apply for the royal capital.
This figure still made Mars a little disappointed, after all, the population base of the kingdom is there, and only so many people came to apply for the exam.
However, Mars speculated that there may be two reasons for this, one is that there are indeed few learned people in the kingdom, and the other is that most of the learned people are waiting, after all, the unknown is always dangerous.
Thinking about it like this, Mars was relieved.
As the selection of new officials approached, some of the spies who were spreading bad remarks were quickly caught by Frank, and upon interrogation, the spies came from three places, that is, the provinces controlled by the three dukes.
Marston felt a sense of urgency, and intelligence revealed that each of the three dukes had a legion of 50,000 men, each of which contained thousands of knights. If the three dukes decide to rebel, the number of each legion must at least double.
As a result, the strength of the three major dukes reached 300,000, while his main battle strength was only 100,000, and the 30,000 people of the city defense army were almost negligible.
Do you want to send troops from the four provinces that are loyal to you, or do you want to send the Windcastle Legion to help in the battle?
After a moment's thought, Mars immediately asked Audrey to give the order to bring Mitchellson, the commander of the Windcastle Legion.
After the Battle of Fort Winder, Mitchelson returned to the royal capital to report to his duties, and the eldest prince wanted to buy it, but Mitchelson refused, and then was imprisoned in a black prison by the eldest prince's muse on charges of embezzling military funds.
The Black Prison is where death row inmates are held in the Kingdom, and all death row inmates are held in the Black Prison after conviction and await the execution of the death penalty.
But because Muse was unable to produce convincing evidence, Justice Chancellor Sherwood refused to impose the death penalty, so Mitchelson remains until today.
Two hours later, Audrey and Mitchelson stepped into Mars's office, a very large room in the main body of the palace, on the top floor of the main building.
"Your Majesty!" said Mitchelson, who knelt down on one knee.
Marston stopped the quill in his hand, he stood up, stepped forward to help Mitchelson, looked at this slightly thin middle-aged man, it could be seen that the man had just freshened up and changed into new clothes, he sighed lightly, and said, "Hard work general!"
Mitchelson's lips moved slightly, but he didn't speak, his chest rising and falling, obviously emotionally unstable.
Mars smiled slightly, then sat behind the desk, and said: "General Mitchelson, I know that you are not guilty, the selfishness of the eldest prince's muse caused you to be imprisoned, I apologize to you on behalf of the royal family, and I, Mars, will also reuse you, your will should not be depressed." ”
A gleam flashed in Mitchelson's eyes, and he immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Mitchelson swears allegiance to His Majesty until death!"
Mars smiled and said, "Okay, Mitchelson, you're reinstated!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mitchelson said gratefully.
"Alright, Mitchelson, tell me about Windcastle, tell me about Windcastle Legion!" Mars had a look of anticipation in his eyes, he really wanted to hear from someone from Windcastle about Windcastle.
Mitchelson bowed slightly, and began to introduce the Wind Castle.
Wind Castle, located on the west side of the Misty Forest, is only ten kilometers away from the only big gap in the center of the Misty Mountains, which is affected by wind erosion all the year round, and is a Gobi Desert within hundreds of miles around it, which is almost impossible for human beings to survive, and has also formed a unique wind erosion landform.
However, because the wind weakens in the spring of each year, there will be a wave of monsters and beasts, and there are not a few hunters who come here to hunt and kill, so it gradually formed a large city, which is also a city independent of other provinces, and the city officials are directly appointed by the royal family of Quinn.
In order to resist the tide of beasts, the royal family of Quinn set up the Wind Castle Legion, which is stationed here all year round, the Wind Castle Legion has 5,000 knights and 5,000 ordinary soldiers, as well as nearly 20,000 logistics personnel, and the annual military expenditure is nearly one million gold knives, which is three times the total military expenditure of all the Sunset City Kings.
Such a huge military expenditure has always been a burden for the Sunset City Kingdom, but it also has to be spent, because, once the beast tide cannot be stopped, hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts will destroy the Wind Castle and drive straight into the hinterland of the Sunset City Kingdom, it will be a catastrophe, and the loss will not be a million gold swords.
Therefore, although it costs a million military expenses every year, the Wind Castle Legion is the legion with the highest casualty rate, and after each year's beast tide, the Wind Fort Legion is almost half lost.
But it is precisely because of this that throughout the territory of the Sunset City Kingdom, no one will object to the combat effectiveness of the Wind Castle Legion that ranks first.
With Mitchelson's introduction, Mars's heart suddenly came alive, and his thoughts were on the construction of the fortress.
He seemed to have a feeling that the Wind Castle might be the address where he had built the fortress!
And this thought for a lifetime, Mars found that he actually had a feeling of impatience.
Of course, Mars didn't think about building the fortress for the time being, Sunset City's finances were not enough to support the entire construction of the fortress, and he wanted to use the confiscated aristocratic wealth to activate Sunset City's economy.
This includes the purchase of various production equipment from the Alliance, such as mining equipment, smelting equipment, and so on.
