Chapter 63: Your Minister of War Joins
Are you kidding me? The finance department can't even come up with a billion Baileys in cash? The Minister of Ceremonies immediately felt ridiculous! Which of the king's banquets and celebrations was not provided by the finance department in minutes? Why is it gone when it comes to the critical moment?
"We agree to this amount."
If the finance department can't take it out, let those nobles come out! The Minister of Ceremonies thought that he knew about the situation in the kingdom, but he couldn't help but didn't want to talk about it. Now it seems that there are still a lot of filth, and he doesn't know at all.
"For the third condition, we have already briefly checked the nobles on the list. Some of them don't seem to be too much at fault, so we hope to make up for their mistakes in other ways. Like what...... Reparations. ”
Falfan himself didn't believe what he said, but he had to say it so uncomfortably, because then the two sides could give each other the steps to let each other go.
"Oh, that's right...... Let me see the results of your investigation first. ”
Bekele smiled and took the revised paper, looked at it a few times and put it aside.
"Perhaps our investigation was not rigorous enough, and I am sorry that some heinous nobles were mistaken for the crimes of other nobles. However, they only had a few minor mistakes, so we agreed to pay the bill. ”
"That's the best. I wonder how you think the compensation is more appropriate? ”
Although Farfan knew that Bekele would cooperate with him, wouldn't it be nice to be as simple as that? It's suspicious, isn't it? Maybe......
"The nobles also know that those small mistakes have caused great damage to the property of the commoners......"
Looking at the corners of Bekele's curved mouth and the words he spoke, all the nobles present chuckled inexplicably in their hearts.
"So if you pay according to the title. 5,000 Baileys for the Lord, 100 million Baileys for the Baron, 200 million Baileys for the Viscount, 500 million Baileys for the Earl. ”
"You're blackmailing!"
"Are you crazy about money?"
"Impossible!"
"Too many!"
I said why the amount of the previous war and the pension reparations was not very large, it turned out that this is the main one, and the Minister of Etiquette knew a little in his heart.
"Guards! Come in and change the tea for the masters. ”
Bekele is not afraid that these noble lords will not agree, he is sure to eat these big rats with fat brains, and Jesus will not be able to keep them! (Everyone knows that there are crosses in the world of pirates)
Seeing the muskets that seemed to be still stained with blood on the guards, all the nobles immediately stopped talking with ugly faces.
"We agreed."
Seeing the ugly faces of all the nobles, Farfan also felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
"For the fourth condition, we need to know how many of your soldiers need to be converted to the kingdom."
Bekele raised an eyebrow, finally to the point.
"You may know that we have a lot of rebels, but you don't know how many there are. Here I can tell you unequivocally that there are nearly 50,000 people in total. ”
These 50,000 men were a numerical deterrent to the rebel army, and a superficial reason for the nobles to mistakenly believe that they were defeated.
"Thirty thousand of them decided not to be soldiers anymore and decided to return to their homeland to live their lives."
"20,000 ......"
All the nobles breathed a sigh of relief, and the 20,000 people widely dispersed to Leiden Island and other affiliated islands basically posed a threat.
"We can agree that the 20,000 men will be converted into soldiers of the kingdom and paid them in full, but the officers inside will not be able to continue to serve as soldiers."
Falfan did not forget the needs of the aristocracy, and the acting still had to be played in a full set.
"It's not impossible, but they have to find a good place to go."
"What do you mean?"
Bekele smiled slightly, and that was to the point.
"Naturally, they will be transferred to other armies in the kingdom to continue to serve as officers."
Rarely, all the nobles did not blurt out a rebuttal, and it was obvious that they were also in a bit of a hurry at the end of the negotiations.
"There are too many officers, and there are not so many positions for them in the kingdom."
"I didn't let you level out, and it's okay to drop a level."
The Minister of Ceremonies felt that it was okay to lower one rank, so that the kingdom's own trained officers would still be in the majority.
"That's fine, but it has to be appointed by the Kingdom."
At the last step, the Minister of Ceremonies didn't even signal Farfan to speak. Now the kingdom still has a lot of mess to solve, and the longer it drags on, the more likely it is that something will happen.
"In that case, we are considered successful in negotiations?"
Having achieved his goal, Bekele smiled lightly.
"Yes, it's time to draft the agreement."
After communicating with all the nobles with his eyes for a while, Falfan said solemnly to Bekele.
After the agreement was written on parchment, Bekele and all the noble ministers signed it one by one, and finally it was closed by King Farfan.
"I'm going to give you a week to put the kingdom in order and get all the reparations ready. Then publicize the results of this negotiation in public. ”
None of the ministers refused Bekele's request to create an established fact, and could not refuse.
"In that case, everyone will be regarded as people who do things for the kingdom in the future."
"What do you mean?"
"It means ......"
"Your Majesty, your Minister of War is here."
……
"What do you think, Maury?"
The man in the hood stood not far from the makeshift negotiation room, quietly observing the development of events. It's a long distance for the vast majority of people who want to eavesdrop, but to him it's like talking in their ears.
"I don't feel anything. Although little Bekele's ideas and goals are different from mine, he still helps the people live a good life, doesn't he? ”
Although the giant Maury had a slight disappointment on her face, she was gentle and kind by nature, but she couldn't afford to blame little Bekele.
"Maurey, do you see it that way......"
The Hooded Man has fully identified with Maury and considers her to be his like-minded companion. The only question now is how to tell Maury about his ambitions so that she can understand. You must know that even if you have traveled a lot of places and learned a lot about the ruling system, you have not integrated all the ideas in your mind into a system.
"Do you still want to invite me as a partner?"
"Huh? Of course! I hope you'll join us! ”
"I think I'd do!"
"Huh?"
The hooded man seemed to think that he had misheard, why did Mori, who originally disagreed, suddenly agree?
"I'm willing."
Although Murray's ideas are relatively tenacious, he can also distinguish between the truth and the truth of things. She had always known that although the people respected her, they were more afraid. Now that the truth of the matter is known, and that little Bekele has cooperated with the nobles of the kingdom and used her, she is ready to leave.
"Welcome! I welcome you on behalf of all like-minded companions! Your arrival will make more people happy! ”
"That's great!"
It's good that someone needs me again!
