344 Tax collectors and soldiers

"Grand Duke Canter, Madame Pompeie admit it, we don't have to be happy within our own people, right?"

smiled and nodded to his own strategist. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, Siri said, "Okay Tandins, let's talk about our new territory?" Although there are no more people in this land. But you don't think it's a good thing that there are no people in the territory, right? ”

"Oh, you're right, sir."

Tandins replied vaguely, not knowing if he meant that Siri was not greedy for the words of the Grand Duke of Canter, or if he agreed that the territory could not be without the people. Nothing frustrated a strategist more than what he thought was a great event, and the lord confirmed that it was unhindered, but out of his own accusations, Tandins still calmed down and continued to report the current information on the city of Kanter and its affiliated towns.

“…… That's it. Alas, I really didn't expect that a simple comparison, coupled with a message that was not a rumor, would make this territory, which originally had a population of 20 million, less than 500,000 now...... My lord, what are you going to do next? Immediately bring back those Far Kante people? To tell you the truth, it will take a lot of money and money, and the key is our money, which is spent in vain, and those people may praise you for your kindness, but behind your back......"

Speaking of which, Tandins didn't continue, the smart Ciri, who was not the first day to be a lord, how could he not know that he would not know that he would be wronged by the people, and he would not do this kind of stupid thing. But in this way, is it possible to allow such a large territory of the most fertile territory of the Principality of Canter to be left uncultivated? You must know that in this world, there is no such thing as "raising land"!

"Okay, let's not mention that. What do you think, Tandings? ”

After a moment of silence, Tandins was promoted to speak. "Well, my lord, I think it's better to use the old way to lure people from other territories. I've already issued a mission, as long as the Assassins' Guild succeeds in painting the body of the Count of Valente, we can officially stop occupying Reims' territory in the first place, and everyone who is guilty of rebellion will be a traitor. ”

"Well, stay tuned, don't go wrong." Ciri nodded noncommittally. The rightful ruler of Reims, Count Valente, is dead, and there is not even an heir left, so that territory will sooner or later be in the pocket of Lord Cyri. Rebelling against Reims and leading the people to flee to Kanter's direct territory, undoubtedly tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

But there is no way, the land around Kante City can be said to be the essence of the entire Kante Principality, and it is not easy to waste.

As for Lance, as long as Karl's identity as a traitor is revealed, the people of that place will soon run out. There is no famine among the people of this world, but the nobility is still a beast that eats people and does not spit out bones. If you are in the official territory, you may be able to live in addition to oppression, but if you are obedient and rebellious...... Most of the people are illiterate, but they are not stupid, so as long as the order is issued, they will definitely run. The so-called righteousness is not that they care who oppresses them, or who is the lord, but as the most instinctive of the small people, they seek good fortune and avoid evil!

Thinking about how to deal with the chaos in Lance's territory, Ciri suddenly found that his strategist Tandins looked like he wanted to say something. "What's the matter, my big plan, what could be more difficult than solving the problem of the desolation of the land around Canter?"

"Yes, sir."

Tandins saluted and said with a sigh of relief. "Because the army is stationed in the towns, we have also caught the deserters in Kanter City before. Some of the nobles below think that these people are also rebellious and think that they should all be killed if they commit rebellion, and some people feel that they should be directly sent to labor camps to contribute to our territory......"

"The people below, think so? Doesn't anyone think they deserve sympathy? ”

"Huh? My lord, do you really want to reactivate those rebellious soldiers? ”

Tandins's face was not stunned for a while, but Ciri's side directly gave him a positive answer.

"Rebellious? Tandins, that's how you characterize those soldiers? Hmph, speaking of rebellion, there is that possibility for those who are officials, but if you count a group of big-headed soldiers who don't even know the words, what do they move? If you give them plenty of food and provisions, you think they're going to be in a bad place. Has it changed? ”

"Your Excellency, maybe you're right."

Tandins bowed and said, not seeming to agree with Ciri's judgment. But he also knew that Ciri was not the kind of nobleman who didn't know anything, especially in Wise City, where he had eaten and trained with soldiers for months, which had already made him think that Ciri was a wise monarch.

"My lord, since you have pardoned the soldiers, what about the tax collectors and officials of the city? Isn't it also ......?"

"Those people will all be forced to die with hard labor!"

Ciri said flatly.

That's right, those people can be said to have been encouraged by his strategy, but one yard is one yard, and the soldiers can be forgiven because they were bullied to the extreme by their superiors. Plus it's a melting pot at all, as long as the basic officers and heroes don't go wrong, these people are also sick.

Those tax collectors and officials are different, and they have seen the market in their own words. I love Enxiaohui, but I can't get them to reduce swelling in the center, sincerely, they should be greedy or will be greedy! The corpses hanging at the entrance of the vegetable market did not scare them. The tone is reserved for such a pair of time bombs, it is better not to start with it!

Yes, there has been a whoop. The soldiers who changed the record, the board was raised high and fell, but for those tax collectors who were obviously encouraged by their own schemes, they were ruthless. Looking at the stunned look on Tandins' face, Ciri knew that in the other party's impression, he might be too lenient for heroes and soldiers to be too harsh on them officials.

"Tandings, I know, you must be wondering why I have a ten-star double standard in this kind of thing. Quite simply, the reason for being a soldier is that every day they eat pig food, which even the Pigs don't like to eat, and even carrion is mixed into the soldiers' rice bowls. But what about the tax collectors? They have made a territory into this virtuous 'power', haven't you seen it? Forgive them, how do you let me settle these people? Didn't I let them spit out their ill-gotten gains, and only let those people do hard labor, wasn't it very lenient for them? ”

"Your Excellency, you're right again!" Tandins bowed again, if just now, he still had some thoughts of his own in his heart, now, he was happy and convinced of Ciri! (To be continued.) )
