341 Valente's stupidity
On the other side of Reims, the lord of the city, Count Valente, is also like Alvin, racking his brains for the question of his own territory. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he, like Alvin, is unaware of the fact that Artim is actually dead, unlike Alvin, he has a very different view of the rumors than Alwin.
In the castle office, Valente sat majestically on his throne. It's like Alvin in Gronholm. And in front of him, there are also a group of subordinates, unlike Alvin Shore, Smith is also the one who informs him, but in front of Valente, he is all those who have been rebelled by Heinze's plan, or simply have other plans.
"Everyone said that Siri is going to invade my territory, what should we do? Is it just like that? ”
Valente has red eyes and lives like a crazy gambler! It's true that Seeri has a great favor to him, and it's not wrong to let him go through life and death crises many times, even this time in addition to rumors in the city, it is also out of Cerry's reminder! However, he can be said to be a miser with an eye to money! Usually eating and drinking is fine, but as soon as he heard the rumors that Siri was going to attack Lance Territory, he didn't even distinguish between the truth and the false!
Of course, this is also related to his fear of Siri, afraid of Siri's mind, afraid of Siri's bravery, therefore, Valente will obey Siri's words, and now in addition to this matter, his first suspicion is not the authenticity of the rumors, but to gather his subordinates to discuss countermeasures!
"What else, the soldiers will come to block, and the water will come to the earth."
A chubby aristocrat called.
"My lord, I think, even if Siri can fight the legend of the gods, it is just one person, if compared to the number of heroes, our side, doesn't it have more advantages than theirs?"
"There are more heroes than others, and the profession of heroes can be explained clearly by a simple one-on-one?"
Another thinner nobleman couldn't help but retort loudly. "However, apart from heroes, there are not many soldiers in Noah's territory! There are 250,000 soldiers, and there are still 780,000 to maintain local law and order, and they cannot go to war. How many people do you think Siri can send to attack us? We are fighting locally, and we are on the defensive side, and there is no problem with one against three, one against five, and the situation may not be one to three. Hmph, like the kind of army raising method he invented, it usually costs so much, if there is a war, can he stand the money consumed with his little alchemy, ah? ”
"Are you the Earl of Cyri, how do you know that he can't support it? Besides, everyone knows that he is proficient in training techniques, and he has a relationship with those alchemists of the Northern Witchcraft Alliance. What if Count Seeri borrowed a large sum of money from that Warlock Alliance, how can we compare? ”
The words of the thin nobleman suddenly made the fat nobleman Iwaguchi speechless, but they usually have a grudge, how can they fall behind at this time. "Hah! Keep saying Count Ciri, who are you doing, Siri? is to lick his face to be loyal, whether he is willing to take you in or not is not certain! ”
"You talk nonsense! For example, my family has served Lord Valente for three generations, how could he betray at this time? ”
The thin man was angry, but he forgot the lower limit of his old rival. "Don't consider surrendering at this time, wait for the army to come over and surrender, hum, you are betting at both ends, what a clever means!"
"You...... Bastard ......"
"That's it! I came to you with an idea, who made you slander each other? Is it too comfortable to get a monthly salary every month? ”
As he spoke, his subordinates were about to fight, and of course Valente had to open his mouth to scold. However, the problem of the quarrel between the two is also the most upset for Valente.
In his opinion, it is not a big deal for officials to be a little greedy. On the contrary, in order to raise the soldiers, he spent the money like a stream, and although the taxes also wanted to flow into his treasury, he thought that the money was spent on the heads of the big soldiers. Valente always felt a thorn in his heart, and every now and then he had a seizure!
Now that the lords have opened their mouths, the two nobles are naturally not good at tearing again. The thin nobleman stared at his opponent fiercely and gasped for breath, while the fat nobleman, after sorting out his humble government, said directly to Wanlunte: "My lord, I think, our lord's army, isn't it that the soldiers' military spirit every month is directly exempted?" It's not that I don't know how much money you talk to those big soldiers every month, but I think it's not a small amount. ”
"Hmm...... Good idea, you go ahead! ”
Valente complimented with satisfaction. He is a person, if you talk about drilling camps, Xirui is definitely not comparable to him, but when you count the vision, Xirui, a traverser, is thousands of times smarter than him!
To put it bluntly, Xirui's set of management methods is nothing more than the money that officials are greedy for ink and directly distributed to every soldier and grassroots official, on the one hand, to keep the government decrees smooth and efficient, and on the other hand, to use high consumption to drive high taxes. If more than 100,000 high-income people are wiped out at once, then the market will also have a violent chain reaction, and the previous high taxes will also shrink sharply with the trend of jumping off buildings!
Got the lord's appreciation, and had a steady grip on his old opponent, the fat nobleman, the pride in his heart was really not to mention. However, he did not forget who he was, and after quickly calming down the throbbing in his heart, he attacked and defended Valente again.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with Lord Siri's method of raising soldiers. Hehe, his set is just a reference to the strategy of the ancient kingdom to raise soldiers into quasi-nobles, so that everyone in the army is a noble, and everyone has a noble status. Therefore, everyone wants to serve as a soldier with all their might. Not to mention anything else, even the Blue Lion Empire, which is closest to us, is the implementation of this set of strategies. However, my lord, this set of methods for raising troops is tailor-made for a country with a huge territory. Lord Cyeri may have done so with the intention of conquering the kingdom of Rolando. But what about us? If you take the test and crack the map, where will you go? To put it mildly, it is better to raise more soldiers with the salary of the soldiers who were born! ”
"Good way!"
It was originally a bad idea, and Valente was even surprised by the unwitting shooting. "Well, the proposal is very good. Tomorrow, I will sign a decree to fully pay the soldiers, and since you propose to continue the conscription, then the position of the recruit recruit officer will be up to you! ”
"Thank you so much, sir!"
Amidst everyone's real or false compliments, the fat nobleman was so proud that he was about to fly into the sky! But after thinking about it, if the recruit recruiter can't get some benefits, he will basically only be left to worry about being tired, and the gratitude he originally felt for Valente turned into a deep resentment!
Well, there are still people in the city who want to do something to this Count of Grande recently, should I also go and participate, so that after the change of owner in Reims City, the old man will have more benefits? For a while, the fat aristocrat actually had the idea of murdering Valente. (To be continued.) )
