In the blink of an eye, it has been eight months since Guo Jia was reborn in Sparta, and after these eight months, he not only figured out the situation of the entire Sparta, but even mixed with Persia, happily probed the number of future opponents, and even looked at the hot springs where the future battle would take place. Now that the time is ripe, it is almost time to increase the strength of his Sparta, and Guo Jia, who was surprised to see that the entire warehouse was about to overflow, did not sleep for three days.

"Come on, let's increase our forces!" Guo Jia said.

For three days, a group of them discussed a series of tactical information in Guo Jia's palace, and also made detailed methods for cultivating troops, and this morning was the time for him to release the news to the people.

"O people of the Spartan city-state with their own handwriting! I have good news for you to recount, our beautiful and great Sparta has stood on top of the world in its own strength, and although we are still strong now, we are not comparable to the supreme time of the past, so we must move forward, we must strengthen ourselves! When Guo Jia finished saying this, the entire palace made an earth-shaking sound. Looking at the appearance of the people, they should be eager to hear Guo Jia's plan, after all, a wave of farmland reclamation a few months ago has allowed them to experience a bumper harvest that they have not experienced for several years.

"Residents of Sparta! I would like to express my highest respect to you, it was your hard work that brought the prosperity of the city-state, and it was your dedication that brought Sparta to the top! Now is the time for you to give again! The goose feather snow falling from the sky was melted and evaporated by the roar of the people for a while, and the whole of Sparta was like a furnace.

"Now we enact a new law, I call it a rule. I've heard the saying a long time ago that there are no rules, and you're going to have the latest rules! "This is a very important point, because of this bill, Guo Jia and the courtiers only argued for three days, and in the end, he used a half-threat and half-inducement method to get the ministers to agree.

"I have carefully calculated the treasury of Sparta, and I have to say that I am really happy with this great harvest, but after careful calculation, I found that the amount of grain stored in the treasury is far greater than we need! So starting today, I'm going to waive a portion of your taxes, and all the farmers you're going to be happy to hear that. "The first step of the bill was to reduce the burden of taxation on the peasants of Sparta and to allow them to own more property.

"From now on, the day of the harvest will be the time when you pay your taxes for Sparta, and a full half of the harvest may not allow you to survive even a warm winter in the time of great calamity, so I will reduce the taxes on all of you, and on the day of harvest you will only have to hand over twenty percent of the grain and grass, one of which will be used for the storage of our Spartan treasury, and the remaining ten percent will be used as their dinner for our esteemed warriors!"

In an instant the whole of Sparta began to argue, and they were calculating the benefits for themselves, and then there was another burst of cheers, and the peasant class almost wept with joy that they could finally survive a more beautiful winter.

"But I want to remind you first, if your grain and grass cannot be stored for a long time, you can hand it over to us, I will open the treasury warehouse to help you store your grain, no one likes their hard-earned harvest to be wasted! And the people who store grain and grass, I will calculate the amount of your storage, and give you a part of the income every year, and if you are not sure, you can come to the treasury and ask about it. "This is actually what modern banks call interest. This can be a better development for Guo Jia and Sparta.

"Then there's the policy about our Helots, look behind you, the Helots have cultivated so much farmland for you and you don't treat them as human beings. So this policy is for the Helots! After Guo Jia said this, it exploded in the crowd like a depth charge.

"Laborers, you are slaves of Sparta, but on this day you will be able to take back your lives and your freedom. Listen, all the Helots! From today onwards, we Sparta will have to levy troops, and all those who dare to fight and sacrifice themselves can join the army! It only takes ten years! You will have your own right to freedom! Guo Jia's words released again were the points of his argument with the minister.

"In the same way, I will redeem every helot if he is willing to join our Spartan war army, and every helot agrees to thirty stone of grain, and the tax is halved within three years." This is what Guo Jia can only do by squeezing almost half of the materials of his treasury capacity, and basically every family in Sparta has the existence of black laborers, so it is basically a three-year tax reduction, which is a very effective way for both the people and the black laborers.

"In the same way, the Helots who joined the army, you have complete freedom of your own, and you can take the money of the natives of Sparta and help them do what they can. But the daily training of the army is still over, and I will use my power as king to protect you! ”

There was a discussion in the crowd again, Guo Jia was almost a heart-to-heart equal deal, and he believed that this group of people would agree to his bill if they thought about it carefully. The people bought the slaves of the Helots for money and memory, and the Helots joined the army for their own freedom, and those who should have said that they were not in a good mind would almost agree.

"This is my bill for the warriors we Sparta have and will have in the future! From now on, the soldiers who joined the army will no longer give for free, from now on, I will give you some food every month, which is the respect you deserve! It's not much, but it's better than nothing! "People live for nothing more than fame and profit, and Guo Jia's new bill on the military is a practice that can make them both fame and fortune.

"Starting today, we have officially established the Spartan Expeditionary Force! And the soldiers who participated in the expeditionary force will be able to enjoy this benefit! Tell me, will you give yourselves to Sparta? ”

Guo Jia's words stopped, and it was the cheerful and happy voices of the inhabitants of Sparta, the black laborers, and the soldiers, he gently rubbed his throat and looked at the residents in front of him with a smile! Soon Sparta will usher in the latest chapter!

"Come here!" Guo Jia turned around and signaled to the soldiers he had selected that there were two tasks now, the first was to recruit soldiers and the second was to train. And Sparta has always been synonymous with cruelty.

"Great King!" The three soldiers stood in front of Guo Jia, put their right hand on their chest, and knelt down on one knee, expressing their belief that they would dedicate their lives to the king of Sparta.

"The three of you are the captains of my personal guard, and now I'm going to give you a new mission." Guo Jia ignored the cheerful roars of the people behind him and turned around and walked directly into the palace, he needed to discuss future training with the ministers.

"Malfuriel, Dere, Culler. The three of you are the most powerful soldiers elected by the soldiers of the Personal Guard, and you don't need to be the captain of the Personal Guard. As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, a few people hurriedly raised their heads, not knowing why their king wanted to abolish their reputation.

"Don't worry, the three of you have something more important to do. You have heard the laws I have just enacted, and if my guess is correct, many, many people will join the army, and our strength will not be limited to these five hundred men, you must know that there are nearly a thousand black laborers in the whole of Sparta! You also know their current situation, and there are black laborers in the house. They can be described as scrawny, so after they join the army, they will drag down our Spartan war force, and the first thing is to cultivate them to become our powerful combat force! You're right? Guo Jia chuckled, looking at the three upright guys in front of him with some joy.

"Your Majesty is right." All three of them nodded, knowing that the black laborers of Sparta were exploited by them without even a piece of flesh on their bodies, and the whole was skin and bones.

"So the Helots who recently joined us want to see them as strong as we are next fall, and see their army as strong as my personal guard, and this is a task that the three of you will take over." Guo Jia is actually a little helpless, after all, no one volunteers for this mess, so he can only choose these captain-level people.

"Your Majesty. We are confident to give you a strong army! Teran was the first to speak, having escaped from the wolf's den as a child and twisted the neck of an adult wolf.

"Your Majesty, you can trust us completely, the three of us will give you a satisfactory answer in these months!" Malfuriel fell to one knee again, and this time his words were as valid as a military order.

"That's good! From this day forward, you are no longer the captain of my personal guard! It's the commander of the Helots, come on, give your troops a nice name! Guo Jia nodded, and directly promoted the position of the three people to the position of the general who commanded the army.

"Your Majesty, let's call it Black Soul! Now that they are about to be free, the Greek gods will also send their souls back, black is their appearance, and the return of their souls will bring them greater strength. Kuller, the only one of the three who didn't speak, spoke, and the name he gave made the other two happy. Their heads keep lit up like chickens pecking rice.

"Black Soul? Good! Since the three of you have agreed, then this team will be called Black Souls! Guo Jia didn't know what kind of trouble this Black Soul team would bring him in the future, nor did he know how dazzling the light they would shine in this Greco-Persian War.

That's all for later.
