Actually, this matter is not complicated to say, it is very simple.

According to the normal situation, every quarter, the Bauhinia Empire has to send 10,000 loads of grain to the Gur tribe where Gudjohnsen is located, because Gudjohnsen is still the army of the Bauhinia Empire in name, although they are not very obedient, it may be that they can buy them not to make trouble, and they can be obedient and honest, and the high-level decision-makers of the Bauhinia Empire are already very satisfied.

The 10,000 quintals of grain, according to the system, were distributed from the military rations of the province of Chalmers. It's always been that way.

However, in the past six months, because the relationship between the Bauhinia Empire and the Byron Empire has been very tense, the two sides have always been in a relationship of not meeting each other but defending each other, in addition to the Northwest Army closest to the front line, the soldiers of the Gur tribe have also been mobilized, strengthened training, and assigned some tasks of duty and training. This is their natural obligation, but on this issue, there is a lot of trouble.

The Ghur tribe has always been a farmer, hunting and herding for a living, and the food given to them by the Bauhinia Empire, which they generally cannot eat, but does not store it, is sold at a high price in exchange for some expensive luxuries for Gudjohnsen and his leaders to enjoy. The object of their trafficking, regardless of their identity or camp, as long as they give money, they will sell, even if the other party is from the Byron Empire. It doesn't matter in normal times, but at this time, they are still selling correctly, which is simply a naked act of treason against the state.

It stands to reason that ordinary people do this kind of thing, secretly, guilty, for fear of being discovered, but this Gudjohnsen is not like this, this person is a bit two hundred and five, and it is not excluded that part of him is deliberately provocative, anyway, he is very blatant to do this kind of almost rebellious thing.

Just some time ago, a caravan from the Byron Empire came to his territory to buy a batch of grain at a price several times higher than usual.

There is still a considerable gap in numbers.

You say you don't have food, what else do you sell? Isn't this business over?

Nope!

Seeing that the duck in his hand was about to fly, Gudjohnsen was distressed and bleeding.

Money, money, a lot of money!

That's it!

At this time, one of Goodjohnsen's most trusted thinkers came up with an idea: "It doesn't matter if we don't have food, we can ask Jerry again!" ”

A word wakes up the dreamer.

Goodjohnsen slapped his thigh: "Yes, Lao Tzu's army is now at your disposal, running around all day long, tired like a dog, working hard and sweating, why don't you ask for more food?" Shouldn't it? ”

So, he took people and went directly to Governor Jerry of Chalmers Province, asking for a doubling of the original 10,000 loads of grain.

Obediently, that's not a small amount, that's a whole 10,000 loads of grain!

Now that the war is imminent, the common people are fleeing, and the economic situation of Chalmers Province is already sluggish, and even collecting taxes has become difficult, where can I get the extra 10,000 loads of grain for this Gudjohnsen? Besides, his reason doesn't make much sense. Oh, your soldiers go out to train and train, and when they take on a little task, they cry out and ask for more food, and I rely on ...... Raising soldiers for a thousand years is said to be a soldier for a while, since ancient times it has been such a rule, I have never heard of eating for nothing when you are fine, and you have to add extra money and food when you use it, what is that called?

Moreover, Governor Jerry was not a fool, although he did not have much ability, but he had also heard of this Gudjohnsen secretly reselling grain. Therefore, at that time, his attitude was very firm, and he directly rejected this request of Goodjohnsen.

Don't say yes?

When Gudjohnsen got the news, he was furious, and he dropped the kettle in his hand at that time: "Damn, this sick chicken is like a seed, shameless and shameless, and he doesn't know how to lift!" ”

He stood up, grabbed Governor Jerry by the collar, and glared at him for a threatening look. Governor Jerry is an aristocrat, the nominal supreme power holder in the province of Chalmers, but Goodjohnsen is also a nobleman, and he is also the kind of privileged minority nobleman, a landlord, he has always been used to being domineering, how can he take this foreign bullshit governor in his eyes?

At that time, Gudjohnsen raised his fist and was about to hit Governor Jerry, but was stopped by men on both sides. As he was leaving, Goodjohnsen pointed to Governor Jerry's nose and threatened: "If you don't give me food, I'll burn down your governor's palace and let you beg for food on the streets of Roland!" ”

Governor Jerry is also the governor of a province, even if he looks down on him, he is pointing fingers behind his back, and when he is in person, he has to give him full face, where has he ever been so angry? He immediately wrote a letter to Yanjing of the Bauhinia Empire and handed it to His Majesty the Emperor Charles XVI, explaining in detail what had happened before and after, and then begged His Majesty the Emperor to make decisions for him.

A few days later, the reply was returned. In the letter, His Majesty the Emperor played 20 boards on both sides, not only reprimanding Goodjohnsen for his informality of asking for sky-high prices and threatening officials regardless of the overall situation, but also severely reprimanded Governor Jerry for mishandling things, and His Majesty the Emperor warned Governor Jerry that when he did things in the future, he should try to use the policy of softness to appease these barbaric minorities, especially at this critical moment, those things in the Byron Empire have not yet been figured out, if Gudjohnsen makes trouble again now, I am afraid that it will not end well.

It boils down to one sentence: "Didn't he ask for food?" Give it to him, give it all to him, meet his requirements, and then write down all these things in a small notebook, and settle the accounts together later. ”

This reply can be regarded as the last attitude of His Majesty the Emperor Charles XVI.

However, to put it lightly, after reading the letter, Governor Jerry grinned bitterly.

"What shall I give him? If there was food for him, the matter would not have been caused before. ”

If in normal times, these 10,000 quintals of grain are squeezed together, and they may be able to get out. But now is an extraordinary time, the whole province of Chalmers is a state of panic, the common people are fleeing, the population has plummeted by more than 70 percent, the land is no longer planted, the shops are also in a state of closure, even the capital Roland City, is also an extremely depressed scene. There is no life.

Let's put it this way, until the next quarter's food distribution arrives, even if Governor Jerry smashes the pot and sells iron in Chalmers Province, he can't scrape together 10,000 loads of grain to hand over to Goodjohnsen, and even the 10,000 loads of grain that should have been given in the next quarter is a question of whether he can get it together now.

As the governor of a province, the nobles of the empire and the feudal officials. The current Governor Jerry is in a dilemma. He could not disobey His Majesty's orders, nor did he want to have any conflict with the barbarian Gudjohnsen, but he did not have any extra food. You can't just put together all the existing food and hand it over to Gudjohnsen, and then let the soldiers and civilians of Roland City tighten their belts and drink the northwest wind, right?

Governor Jerry was worried, his hair fell out a lot, and he couldn't sleep well, but Goodjohnsen came over every once in a while, shouting, and turning a good governor's palace into a vegetable market, splattering, rolling, threatening, and intimidating...... All kinds of means are simply exhausted. He was a strong man, and he was strong, and in front of him, poor Governor Jerry was like a little chicken about to be cooked.

No, earlier today, Governor Jerry was about to go out to greet the arrival of Duon and his party, but Goodjohnsen brought people to make trouble again, Governor Jerry knew that Duon was the son of Count McNuss, and was the deputy commander of the Northwest Army newly sent by His Majesty Charlie XVI to the Emperor, and if he didn't go to greet him, it would definitely not make sense, but Goodjohnsen's group of people came, and he couldn't sit idly by, in case he made a noise with Duon, what would happen, no one could tell...... There was no way, in a hurry, Governor Jerry had to let Donald go to meet Duon on his behalf, and then he himself dealt with Goodjohnsen, originally wanted to send him away like before, but he didn't expect that today Goodjohnsen was iron-hearted, and he couldn't get food, so he simply didn't leave, and he smashed the governor's office, as barbaric as he wanted.

These ins and outs, Du Ang is not clear, but judging from the innocent and pitiful appearance of Governor Jerry, Du Ang understands that ** is not far from ten. Looking at Goodjohnsen's menacing guys, Duang was really angry.

Du Ang had no friendship with Governor Jerry, and because of the things that greeted him, Du Ang still had some opinions about him in his heart, but after all, they were all nobles of the empire, and they shared the same weal and woe, seeing him so humiliated, Du Ang suddenly had a depressed feeling of being dead and sad in his heart.

", what the are you? No matter how authentic he is, he is also a nobleman of the empire, the governor of the province of Chalmers, personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and he is not a servant of your family, he can fight if you say so? ”

Thinking of this, Du Ang was not polite, and directly ordered the Gaia knights beside him: "Take down these people for me." ”

For such nonsense goods, Du Ang has never had a very good temper.
