Chapter 596: William's Little Tricks
After all, there is a reason why these robbers appeared, and Denlenburg was also full of bandits at the beginning, but now there are no lawbreakers.
The main reason is that the militia system has taken root and made it impossible for these people to develop, except that they can get a taste without robbing, as long as they dare to do this kind of activity, there will be a warrant issued by local officials immediately, and then the militia of the surrounding villages will gather to suppress the bandits.
At the beginning of the construction of Denlenburg, before it was as rich as it is now, there were many robbers, and the few who let William personally take action by your dog were very few, and most of them were gathered by the surrounding militia to exterminate them.
And now, under William's thunderous means, coupled with the propaganda of the propaganda department throughout the country, everyone knows the tragic end of these robbers.
The whole country knows that there will be a good life in the future, so almost no one of them has the idea of falling into the grass.
The three bandit troops returned, bringing back five million silver coins to William, and after receiving the money, William quickly restarted the siege that had been short of funds.
The whole country knew that His Majesty's financial resources did not seem to have dried up, as they had previously suspected, and even on the contrary, His Majesty's financial resources still seemed to be very abundant.
This made some vassals who were going to watch the joke suddenly restrain their careful thoughts.
They originally thought that William would be able to stop taking William in his eyes when he ran out of money, and even if William planned to send troops to recruit them, then those powerful armies without the impetus of silver coins would definitely be demoralized.
When the time comes, the same opponents of William will be stirred, and perhaps the king will be able to overthrow the depleted king.
These minor nobles were short-sighted, but at this time, the only remaining earl in the Kingdom of Lorik still had great respect for William.
Because he can see William's true strength, although William is short of money, but the army is extremely powerful, not to mention that William can slow down construction at any time to slow down expenses and expenses.
What they don't know is that William's soldiers are not the kind of mercenaries they imagined only to recognize money, but a group of troops with lofty ideals who are absolutely loyal to William.
Of course, this lofty ideal is not GCISM, but for the sake of a good life for their families and children, and for their wise and martial King to become a more powerful ruler.
After all, most of the current royal army are soldiers who came out of Denlenburg, who has been brainwashed by William for more than ten years, and of course is extremely loyal to William.
If the residents of other regions had been replaced by those who had joined the royal army, they might not have had such an awareness.
So William had to continue to brainwash them before he could recruit them into the army.
The nobles did not see William's weak point, and quickly dispelled the little caution in their hearts and devoted themselves to William.
Although the nobles knew how William got all the money, they only recognized one reason, that is, the king still had the strength to crush them.
William's goal was achieved, so everything in the country was very smooth during this time, whether it was the construction of the castle and the arrow tower fortress, or the planning of the city's roads, everything was very smooth.
In fact, some of those nobles opposed William for a reason.
After William became king, he soon unified the basic law of every noble domain, called the Kingdom Decree, and each of these decrees was the basic law in every noble domain.
Even the nobles themselves could not easily break these laws, and the local tax rate was also capped by William, who was not allowed to exceed each tax rate, and in addition to this, William also required that their annual income be paid to William 20% as a tax.
This was undoubtedly harming the interests of the nobles, but it was already very lenient compared to William's initial policy towards the vassals.
At least they have a very high degree of autonomy in their territory, and there are no taboos except for some William's bottom lines, such as private wars between nobles.
But these are very unbearable for the nobles of the original Dutskema Kingdom, who have been in a relaxed state all year round, and if it weren't for William's strong strength to suppress them, they would have rebelled long ago.
However, William is also aware of this, the dark dagger's intelligence gathering ability is extremely strong, and he is clear about the attitude of the domestic nobles.
It is normal for these nobles who have taken refuge to be dissatisfied with themselves, and most of these dissatisfied people are the old tribes of the original Tskema Kingdom.
And the nobles who were recruited by William later were very few who were dissatisfied with William, let alone those who were loyal to William, and who had followed William since the time of Denlenburg.
However, William did not immediately attack these people, William actually didn't want them to remain under his command, these people were good and bad, not to mention that their strength had not been enhanced, and he had to guard against them with his energy.
On the contrary, it was the relatives who had taken refuge with the Archduke Wallace, and William found some very good seedlings, and there were some talents.
It would be better to have these relatives as their vassals, who would be very dedicated to defending themselves and would not be dissatisfied with the policy.
After all, it is your own blood relatives, these people are still trustworthy, nepotism is still somewhat reasonable, as long as your relatives have enough ability, then the relationship with you is a strong competitive relationship for him.
William planned to play a game of chess in the country, and it was best if these nobles who opposed him could unite to rebel, and then send his own troops to exterminate them.
After all, although William wanted to canonize his relatives as nobles, he didn't want to canonize more territories.
To this end, he even sacrificed domestic stability to eliminate these destabilizing factors.
Otherwise, as long as he gave up a large amount of land and canonized his blood relatives, he could suppress these opposition nobles through his blood relatives.
But what William wanted was to hold the land in his own hands and use it on a large scale, so he had to sacrifice these nobles.
With these thoughts in mind, a plan quietly took shape in William's mind.
That is public opinion, and William can spread rumors through the dark dagger.
The Dark Dagger, which has been established for so many years, is very skilled in these methods of secretly causing evil, and spreading rumors to sow discord is nothing at all.
As long as William let the Dark Dagger go around announcing that he wants to exile or kill all the nobles left over from the Tskema Kingdom, it will definitely arouse the fear of these nobles at that time.
They didn't know exactly what William's Dark Dagger had.
And after they learned about these rumors, William expressed some dissatisfaction with them a little, and he could definitely scare them out, and then privately conspire against William, which didn't need to be thought of.
