324 Karl's Sins
February is the time of year when the Principality of Kante Village is in full bloom. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt seems that yesterday, there was still a little snow behind the corner of the house, but now, these remnants of winter have been replaced by vibrant green. And in such a season of village fury flowers, Dylan? Karl also rushed back from the boot camp outside the city to let Artim report on his duties.
The streets are empty, many of the shops that used to be prosperous in the past are empty, and many gorgeous buildings have become empty houses that no one cares about.
Heinze? Did that guy Gerrish scrape the people too hard? Make Kante almost a short city? For a moment, such a thought flashed through Carl's mind, but soon, he completely discarded this thought again, how is the city managed, what does it have to do with him? He's only in charge of training, and he's in charge of fighting that abominable Cieri to the death!
The people are gone, and it doesn't matter if he is not a city guard officer, as long as there are enough soldiers! Artem complained that there was no money, it didn't matter! As long as he can train to deal with Ciri, he doesn't care about anything!
Thinking of this, Karl couldn't help but look up to the southeast.
Poor Ciri, he must not have imagined that the training method he painstakingly developed was copied by himself, and the soldiers were trained to deal with him. Carl thought proudly.
Heavy lead weapon training, weight-bearing cross-country training, plus queue training, isn't that all there is to it? As for spending so much money every day to keep the soldiers well fed and clothed, it is better to cheapen those commanders! Although, those people are all Artim's subordinates, and they may not be able to do their own at critical moments, but better for them, they can at least be a good person. Treat the soldiers well, and you can get little benefit yourself? The soldier's love, how much is that thing worth a pound? Even if he treated them so well at the beginning, those soldiers still didn't know how to run away?
Thinking of this, Carl couldn't help but have a headache. That's right, desertion is the only factor restricting the expansion of his forces at present. As for soldiers, it can be said that in every country town directly under the territory of the Principality of Kante, he almost caught people who met the standards of being a soldier, but he still couldn't stop these people from escaping in large numbers after staying in his new barracks for a while!
For this reason, he had to order his descendants to watch those recruits day and night, and even so, not only could he not stop the fleeing recruits, but even the soldiers of his descendants had many complaints.
The Yorkie who was lucky enough to escape his life in Lakeside? Sisko said that the army trains during the day and patrols at night, and in the long run, soldiers will generally develop a war-weariness.
Meet his big-headed ghost! After so many years of training by himself, when will it be the turn of a hairy boy to make irresponsible remarks? York thinks he's like that Seery? Let's talk about that York, but he has always determined the title of this incompetent York, why should he be responsible for the mistake of training his own troops?
"Lord Karl is here? Your Majesty is anxious to see you, so go straight in. ”
A respectful voice rang out, and Karl looked back, only to realize that before he knew it, he had arrived outside the office door of Kanter Castle.
Nodding his head and "um", he stepped inside, and inside, it was still the trio of Atim Dave and Heinze. Moreover, they are still arguing like before, but the state of these three people has changed substantially.
In the past, Artim jumped up and down, Dave lowered his eyebrows and stood solemnly, Heinze's expression was indifferent, now, Dave jumped up and down, Atim's expression was indifferent, as for Heinze, the right hand of the legs that had been broken, the alchemy prosthetics on it were newly cut off, this was not enough, his only remaining left left arm, and only half of the bare arm remained!
"Your Majesty, I think Heinze is fully responsible for this matter. As far as I know, he didn't collect taxes according to Seeri's management method at all. In the territory of Siri, shops dealing in bread and other daily food products are sold in five out of one, and taverns are sold in four out of one. And luxury goods such as jewelry, high-end clothing and so on are sold in three draws. But Heinze's tax collector. But for a bakery, he has to take four-fifths of the turnover of people. He also set up fines at every turn. As for the big businessmen in the city, he didn't overcharge any of them, but in the face of such a tax collection law, if I were an ordinary person, I would have run away, where would I stay and wait to die? ”
"Dave, how dare you say it! Hmph, if I didn't want to make more money, would I be like this? Besides, everyone has a share in those benefits, so why should I say that I have done something wrong? "Who made you overtax? Is it me? Or His Majesty Artim? I think you're quibbling! ”
Dave jumped up and down, and Heinze wasn't to be outdone. "Ha, you didn't say anything when you collected the money, and now something happened to say that I was wrong, so to speak, Viscount Carl is also at fault, I heard that in order to gather more soldiers, he almost arrested all the adult men in the territory as soldiers!"
The flames of war burned on his head, how could Carl be happy?
"Both, you are arguing, why are you involved with me again? Hmph, I'm just catching some people to be soldiers, and other nobles want to fight, which one of the soldiers under his command is all willing? Is this also wrong? ”
"Karl, do you think you can get away with it by saying that? I ask you, what about my people? Now it is said that the huge Kantercheng does not even have 100,000 people, are you ready to wait until only the people in my castle are willing! ”
Finally, Artem finally broke out, but Carl, on the other hand, looked indifferent. True, he was not afraid of Artim. Because he just wants to train in the name of the other party, so as to take revenge on Xirui! As for whether the other party dares to remove his military position, the matter has come to this point, if he really withdraws, the other party will only die faster!
"Your Majesty, I still say that, I'm not wrong! I only care about training, and I don't collect military salaries or anything, but I only beckoned a total of 700,000 people before and after, and now there are 300,000 troops, only 400,000, 400,000, and it's not just the people in Kante City, how can I say that the people have run out has anything to do with me? ”
"You're right, you're right, I'm wrong!"
Although his face turned pale with anger. But Artim was still laughing! Just like when his father was dying, he was also laughing, but at that time, he just felt that no one would control him in the future, and he could even seek a small piece of territory from his brother so that he could continue to act recklessly.
The current smile is completely infuriating these incompetent men! It's just that these people are all his henchmen entrusted with important tasks! As everyone knows, these guys are not incompetent, but idiots who will make him lose his not very stable position! (To be continued.) )
