Hearing the angry rebuttal of the two nobles, the rest of the people knew it in their hearts. Don't they know if it's true? Who told you to do things so blatantly?

Falfan had a headache for them to jump out, but it wasn't up to them to save themselves.

"That's it! Stop yelling! ”

The Minister of Ceremonies naturally knows that the last of the four conditions is the most important, but the third is the most difficult to solve.

What is the core of the kingdom? It is the people's nonsense that can only deceive the ignorant, and the aristocracy is the class that can really make decisions in a country. Once the nobles were to be judged publicly, he did not know what would happen. But this matter is obviously a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, so I can only find a way to replace it with something else.

"The nobles on the paper, find some "really guilty" public disposal, and the rest of the "not guilty" will be replaced by other benefits for me. ”

What else can I do? I can only find some people who have no background and are not strong enough. And when they heard what the Minister of Ceremonies said, the two nobles didn't say anything. It's going to bleed profusely, but it's better than being judged.

"Let's talk to the rebels first."

Farfan didn't have a good impression of these nobles either, and even the nobles he once hated the most, or the count. But now......

"Fourth, a part of the rebel army that is unwilling to continue as soldiers will be disbanded and repatriated. Those who are willing to continue to serve need to be dispersed to various parts of the kingdom as garrisons, and the kingdom needs to pay them full salaries. ”

Now the sword hanging over the heads of the nobles is the rebel army's large number of soldiers, if this problem is not solved, there will be repeated rebellions, can they always compensate?

"This condition must not be agreed, and if you do, you will be like a fool! All troops must be disbanded and repatriated on the spot. ”

It was the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security who spoke. After the Minister of War apologized for his crimes, the Undersecretary of War failed to rebel and died, and the Minister of Justice was killed by Count Nabi, he was the highest in office.

The armed forces of the Kingdom of Leiden are divided into two types. The first is the army, which is divided into army and navy, both of which are under the management of the military department. The second type is the sheriff, which is divided into the city guard and the sheriff (police), both of which are under the management of the security department. Although the city guards were nominally under the Ministry of Public Security, they were in fact the private soldiers of the local nobles.

"We agreed like fools, and they disbanded all the troops on the spot and repatriated like fools. Do you say we're willing to be fools, or are they? ”

Farfan said without being salty.

"Then what do you say, Your Majesty?"

The Vice-Minister of Public Security asked directly. Although he called out to Your Majesty, he didn't feel much respect, but his tone was a little unkind.

"Then it depends on what our bottom line is."

"The bottom line? Our bottom line is to dissolve them all! ”

"That's it! Don't talk about this nonsense. ”

Farfan is not a temperamentless person, and he directly shouted angrily to quiet the scene.

"You have to figure out what's going on! Now it is not a negotiation in which we are at a disadvantage, but a self-redemption that equates to the captives and the victors! ”

Directly tell the real status quo, let these people who are still holding the aristocratic shelf, and let this group of aristocratic lords who have not experienced the beating of reality sober up.

"If they are disbanded without leaving at all, the rebel army will definitely not agree. Having lost their troops, they must be afraid that we will not keep our promises, or even retaliate against them after we have relented. ”

The Minister of Ceremonies was a man who understood what was taboo in the rebels. After all, it's the same for everyone, and it's okay to be insecure.

"But it is not possible to directly convert all the remaining rebel troops into soldiers of the kingdom, so that if they have the slightest dissatisfaction, they can directly rebel again. So we have to reduce the number and grasp the degree of it. ”

"The low-level soldiers of the rebel army can be allowed to transform into soldiers of the kingdom, but the officers cannot be their people, they must be ours."

"The distribution of the garrison army should also be insured, half of their people and half of what we have cultivated."

After the false bottom line was broken, these ministers also made pertinent suggestions. And Farfan, who listened to the minister's suggestion, was also a little speechless, and after recognizing the reality, they not only quickly accepted it, but also came up with a series of implication measures.

"Okay, I've already written down everyone's requirements for the revision of these four conditions, and it depends on the negotiation at the meeting."

……

"Looks like you've already discussed it?"

Bekele looked at the ministers of the kingdom who had reappeared in front of him, and was a little strange. It didn't take long for these people to finish the discussion? Is that all they agree on? Still not afraid of death? Impossible......

"For your four conditions, we are generally acceptable, but some modifications must be made."

Farfan knew it was his turn to show what he could do, though he knew Bekele would be cooperating with him.

"What changes do you want to make? I'll listen first. ”

Bekele knew that in the final stage, as long as Farfan was allowed to complete most of the nobles' demands in the negotiations, he would be able to inherit the Kingdom of Leiden "safely" after the end.

"As for the first requirement, we believe that the tax on heavenly gold cannot be abolished, but it can be reduced as appropriate. You also want to know that Heavenly Gold is a tribute to the world nobles "Celestial Dragons", which is the premise for the Leiden Kingdom to join the world government. And becoming a member country is also a guarantee that the navy will protect the people of the kingdom from the persecution of pirates, and you don't want the navy to not protect you, do you? ”

"Of course I don't want to. But isn't the kingdom's revenue other than taxes? I don't believe that. ”

Bekele immediately retorted, and acted like a person.

"It's really not enough, and the kingdom's revenue has to solve other problems. It's not just that there is only one heavenly gold asking for money, it's just that it wants the most. ”

"How much?"

"Minus two floors."

"Not enough."

"The three floors."

"It's not enough."

"Four floors at most!"

Bekele did not continue to answer, but looked each nobleman in the eye one after another, and then called a few muskets in hand to come in and pour tea for everyone.

"The tax is reduced by five tiers, and the heavenly gold is to be paid in full by you for the first three years, and it is not to be collected from the people. Don't tell me that you don't have any money! Isn't it so rare for you nobles to loot over the years? I don't want me to pay for it in the future. ”

After a moment of silence among the nobles, the Minister of Ceremonies gestured to Farfan with his eyes.

"Okay, we agree."

"For the second requirement, we want to know how much war and bereavement compensation is needed, and how much civilian compensation is needed."

"800 million in war, 200 million in pensions, 500 million in civilians. That is, give us a billion Baileys in cash and 500 million in benefits to the common people. ”

After listening to Bekele's offer, the Minister of Ceremonies looked at the Undersecretary of Finance. The Finance Undersecretary shook his head and said that the Treasury did not have that much money.
