Chapter 0379: Disarmament Controversy
readx;
Am I as romantic as you think? Zhang Ye burst into tears, a long, long time ago, what an innocent little boy my brother was!
"Can we add taxes?" Zhang Ye asked!
"If you're not afraid that the newly established Manifest Destiny Empire will become a barren land, you can give it a try!" Elani said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Ursin smiled: "Don't be alarmist, the griffin empire's taxes are two or three times higher than ours, and the people living in the territory are more than several times more than the Silvermoon Empire. ā
"Can we compare to the Griffin Empire? Their land is so fertile...... Fertile, there is, Aye has a way! Speaking of the fertiliser, Elani suddenly cried out in surprise.
Zhang Ye also guessed what was going on: "You mean fertilizer?" ā
Elani said, "Yes! Aye: We have a miraculous fertilizer, are we still afraid of any food problems? Our land can become more fertile than the Griffin Empire, and we can turn the Cross River Valley into a land of abundance. ā
Emily and Ursin were confused and asked, "What is fertilizer?" How could it be so magical, is it an artifact? ā
Zhang Ye smiled "hehe": "Yes, it's an artifact!" It can increase food production by two or three times, do you think it's an artifact! ā
"Of course!" Ursin's eyes lit up, although she knew more about military affairs than about internal affairs and agriculture, but she still understood the principle of soldiers and horses before moving grain and grass.
Zhang Ye smiled and said: "Elani, you know the most about fertilizer, so I'll leave it to you, let the farmers in the territory use fertilizer as soon as possible, and let them use fertilizer as soon as possible, you can also let them use it, after all, not everywhere can pick up river mud!" ā
"Okay, Aye!" Although Elani is still a little unacceptable to use farm fertilizer, but now she considers the problem from the perspective of the national economy and people's livelihood, and finds that even if she is a little disgusting, as long as she has something to eat, it is better than starving to death.
"However, even if fertilizer is used, it will have to wait for farmers to increase their production before they can raise taxes." Before that, our treasury was empty! Elani said.
"What?" Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the economic situation of the Silver Moon Empire to be so bad, this is obviously the rhythm of eating the last meal but not the next!
"Has their financial situation always been so bad?" Zhang Ye asked.
"Yes!"
"And how did they get through this in previous years?"
"This time of year is the time for their 'autumn hunting'!"
"'Autumn hunting?' Hunting? Zhang Ye thinks this is a good idea, but are there so many animals in the forest?
"It's not hunting! It's robbery! "At this time of year, the Knights of the Duchy of the Silvermoon will go to the Duchy of Lucy in the territory of the Griffin Empire to plunder, the Duchy of Lucy is a predominantly agricultural country, and the force is not strong at all, so there is nothing to be done about the Duchy of the Silvermoon. ā
"How do you know so clearly? Does the Griffon Empire care about this? Zhang Ye asked.
Elani said: "These questions, I have already asked the relevant officials of the original Silver Moon Empire, the Griffin Empire's Heavenly High Emperor is far away, and he can't care about it at all, even if they send troops over, as long as the Silver Moon Principality retreats back to the Cross River Valley, the Griffin Empire will not dare to chase it in again." ā
"Why? Could it be that this Cross River basin is very dangerous? Don't you see? Zhang Ye asked.
"Because this is the place where the three major forces meet, if the Griffin Empire enters here, it will definitely cause unease among the dwarves and elves, and if you accidentally misfire, a full-scale war will inevitably occur." Elani analyzed.
"I see!" Zhang Ye held his chin and thought for a moment: "Our current military strength is much stronger than the previous Silver Moon Principality!" ā
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ursin nodded proudly, for the army was now almost all under her command.
"Therefore, we will need more supplies than before!" Elani immediately poured a scoop of cold water on her.
"You ......" Ursin was very angry, but he didn't know what to say!
"I'm telling the truth!" Elani was as triumphant as a victorious little rooster.
Zhang Ye slapped the table and said, "Yes, we will also have an 'autumn hunt', but our target is not the Duchy of Lucy, but the other forces in the Cross River Valley." ā
"Other forces? Which one are you referring to? Ursin asked, she had been analyzing the distribution and strength of several other forces in the Cross River Basin recently, and she was already quite clear in her heart.
"It's not one, it's all! We want to unify the Cross River Basin! At the same time, the wealth we have seized should be enough for us to last for a while, right? Zhang Ye said.
"I won't know until the end of the war, but compared to the human camp, the other camps are indeed not as expensive as the human camp, and maybe they have some savings." Elani said.
"Are we going to war together?" Ursin asked, even with their current strength, it was unlikely that they would be able to confront the other three families in the Cross Valley at the same time.
"Together! Break it all! "Zhang Ye said eight words!
The three of them naturally didn't understand, so Zhang Ye explained to them again, and the three girls all agreed to Zhang Ye's plan.
First of all, let Ursin be the emissary, unite the elven tribes here, the elves of the so-called Free Kingdom, and attack their old enemy, the necromantic wizard Gaimar!
In a sense, the necromancer is the most powerful person in the world, and with enough corpses, he can even win a war alone.
One of the four factions of the Cross River Valley is a powerful necromancer, and he even has a bone dragon under his command that is said to have been summoned from the bones of a dragon!
Therefore, although he is only one person, he occupies a quarter of the land of the entire Cross River Valley, and no one dares to trouble him easily.
The reason why the free kingdom of the elves contradicts him is that he always likes to sneak into the elves' graveyards and transform dead unicorns into powerful necromantic knights!
In another war, those necromantic knights killed the only green dragon in the Elven Free Kingdom and transformed its corpse into a bone dragon.
Since then, he has become a mortal enemy with the Elven Free Kingdom, and his necromancers, as long as they dare to cross the border, will be chopped into powder by the warriors of the Elven Kingdom, and it is impossible to even resurrect.
But the Elven Free Kingdom, due to his great strength, did not dare to send troops to his cursed territory to find his bad luck. Because legend has it that he is an invincible existence in that cemetery.
