Chapter 49 Borrowing Money with Caution (Tired)

When Makoto Ashbara brought Tsuiko back to Akina Castle, he gathered important officials for a meeting on preparations for the establishment of a new state.

See the crowd present.

Makoto Gray Hara slowly uttered the astonishing words.

"Gentlemen, in order to prevent us from being infested by monsters again in the future. Taking advantage of the prestige of defeating the Yokai coalition this time, I am ready to establish a new country. The name is the Kingdom of Autumn, are you willing to follow me to build a country that can compete with the four demon kingdoms and protect the human beings of the world? ”

"We are willing to follow the general." Everyone seemed to have rehearsed in advance, and expressed their willingness to follow Makoto Gray. Whether this is willing or not will not be said for the time being. But the momentum is very impressive. It was as if the ground had been shaken for three minutes.

"You don't rush to agree for the time being, the road to the new country must be very bumpy. Not to mention the rejection between the human races, the monsters outside, especially the four demon kingdoms, will never sit idly by and watch the development of the new country. Because our goal is not only to compare with the four demon kingdoms, but also to surpass. We must be ready for war with them.

Now I will say only once, you who have embarked on this path are waiting to commit your lives to me. Your life will not belong to you, and it is not unknowable that you will be abandoned by me if necessary.

Of course, I will give you a chance now, after all, you are all great heroes, and if you choose to withdraw now, I will give you enough wealth to make your old age happy. Give you freedom all your life.

But if you choose to continue following me. Whoever withdraws, betrays, or disobeys orders, I will kill them! Makoto Grayhara, who was sitting on a high chair, looked at the people who were kneeling neatly in front of him. He stared at everyone's expressions and continued to persuade them to quit.

"We swear to follow the general to the death!" The crowd did not change their tune. Continue to bow your head and express your willingness to follow Makoto Ashbara. Of course, this does not mean that they are loyal. Although in the days of following Ash Yuan Cheng, there are many people who have either been brainwashed or sincerely worshipped.

But as the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. It's hard to say that even some people are spies, and there are even more people who secretly harbor ghosts in their hearts, which is undoubtedly a thing. And more importantly, the people present are all smart people, if not to say. But at this moment, everyone knows which fool dares to take the lead. Even if he doesn't come openly, someone will stumble on him in secret. Naturally, obediently responded.

Makoto Gray didn't speak, he was waiting. While giving these people a moment to think about it. He is also screening whether there are thieves who play Infernal Affairs.

"General. We are all willing to follow the general. As long as the adults are the daimyo to rule us! Those monsters will never dare to make a mistake again. Tengfeng Zuowei saw that the atmosphere in the field was gradually silent, so he took the lead in speaking, after all, to what their Tengfeng family said, isn't the full effort of their surface strength just for today? No, that's just the first step. As the strength of the new nation of Autumn no Kuni grows, sooner or later the pace of expansion will begin again. With the talents of their Tengfeng family operating step by step, even if they can't rule the world, this world can be said to be theirs.

"Yes! Yes! What General Teng Feng said is very true. "Yishilang, Longkoujiu and others agree with Tengfeng Zuowei's statement.

"Since you have all agreed to continue to follow me. If this is the case, then the kings should be rewarded for their deeds during this period of time. Makoto Gray Yuan saw that no one had withdrawn, so he started the next link.

In addition to Tsuiko as the high priest of the Akino Country, Tengfeng Zuo as the lord of Yunsha County in the south, and Isshiki Lang as the lord of Kitahara County in the north, Black Bear served as the general of the Guards Army, Monkey served as the chief of the Intelligence Department, and Ryūguchi Jiu led an army of 10,000 as the lord of Flowing Water City in the northwest at the junction of Oda Nobunaga's forces.

And..... (A thousand words omitted here)...

After finally rewarding these people, Cheng Gray Yuan knew why so many emperors in history felt so sorry for their fathers-in-law. And I understand why my father-in-law's voice is so unique.

Although his mouth was dry, he couldn't stop. With regard to some new policies of the state, it is necessary for him to put forward them first. After all, you can't take it for granted as a human being, after all, it's just his naïve idea, and it's necessary to discuss it with these people.

"After the establishment of the new state, the annual tax was changed to be levied on the mu, and everyone, even me, had to pay forty percent of the annual tax to the national treasury."

"General! Cannot! Never. "Most people don't think there's anything strange about this tax, after all, other countries generally have a 50% annual tax. But Isshilang and Tengfeng Zuowei were shocked when they heard this. According to the meaning of the words of the Lord of the Seven Nights, the taxes in the homes of those nobles were also taxed according to this condition. I'm afraid it's not to be opposed. So he hurriedly raised objections.

"Don't worry, tell me why you don't agree."

Tengfeng Zuowei and Isselang glanced at each other and exchanged opinions. The last color wave looked at Makoto Gray Yuan and said:

"My lord, this law has greatly touched the interests of the nobles. They will definitely organize the implementation of this law, and even make a way to destroy the development of the Autumn Country. ”

"Well, if that's all there is to it, then you don't have to worry. It's just a mere jumping worm, and it dares to jump out of the way and step on it to death. The Land of Autumn does not need disobedient people. There is no need for moths that cannibalize the country. Do you still have any questions? "It's not that Makoto Gray Yuan is arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't listen to persuasion. Rather, it was a matter of necessity, since most of the cities were united, and it was settled peacefully. So there isn't much money to be gained. And the previous war armaments, and the compassion of the soldiers after their deaths were all called by him from the Tengfeng family. Although the other party tempted him everywhere. But the help he gave him was in his eyes. It was indeed his best to solve a lot of his troubles.

He is not a shameless person who will cross rivers and tear down bridges. It is not difficult to borrow and borrow again, and this truth was deeply realized in his previous life.

"Then we don't have a problem." Hearing this, Tengfeng Zuowei and Isshilang understood what Makoto Gray Yuan meant. To put it bluntly, it is to give them a reason to rebel, and then confiscate the property, which is clearly fishing. The two had a premonition of the bloody storm that would soon follow, and the treasury of the new kingdom that would be full of treasures when it was founded. It's just that for what Gray Yuan Cheng mentioned next, he was very surprised.

"Well, finally. I have decided to establish a parliamentary system. Establish a council and select a few good enough people to handle non-very important government affairs for me. And they also have the right to decide for me on major matters. ”

"Ridiculous! This kind of thing is unheard of. I also hope that the city lord will take back his life. "When Isshiro heard that Makoto Gray Yuan had launched a cabinet system to disperse his power, he felt extremely incredible. Think this young city lord is crazy.

And Tengfeng Zuowei's eyes lit up slightly.

"Lord Isshiki, please calm down, and discuss this matter slowly. After all, the stakes are high, and we must remain calm, whether for the sake of the country, the people or ourselves. ”

.....

Discussions began for several days. The basic route to be taken by the country of autumn has been decided.

A month later, the first laws of the Akino Country began to be promulgated.

This law implements the basic connotation of the inviolability of the daimyo order.
