Chapter 127: Growing Influence
Time flies with the wind.
On August 8th, the condolence work was basically completed, and on the Yunwu Mountain next to the Black Fog City, the construction of the Hero Monument has reached the final stage, and the unveiling ceremony will be held soon!
On August 10th, the notice of the ceremony was issued, and hundreds of thousands of families of the sacrificed soldiers came to Black Mist City one after another, and these people were placed in hotels and people's homes, waiting for August 15 to participate in the sacrifice of the heroes who died in this war.
The location of the previous construction of the Hero Monument, Wright Buyun wanted to complete it on the Mangu hill ten miles outside Morrill City, but Monro and the others were a little opposed, and the Cloud Mist Mountain in Water Black Mist City was the best, the reason was naturally that Wright Buyun, the city lord, had lived in Black Mist City, which could make the sacrificed soldiers closer to the lord who was loyal to him in the center.
Buried in the Cloud Mountain of Black Mist City, in general, it is an honor for both the sacrificed sergeant and his family, just like the reason why Wright had to create a medal as a souvenir for his family before.
In this way, in the end, Wright Cloud nodded.
In fact, since the month of August, there has been a lot of movement in Black Mist City in Maple Leaf County.
The implementation of the pension system, the death of a person's family can still receive the salary of a sacrificial sergeant within ten years, which is almost unprecedented in the realm of chaos, and it is also a surprise to many.
Some of the city controllers of the Chaos Lord, not to mention the monthly pension for their families, sometimes the military salary has to be delayed for three or five days before it can be paid, not to mention the one-time re-pension or something.
Typical people go to tea and cool, of course, people can receive military salaries, not to mention pensions or anything after death, it is already a very good thing to have a death notice to give to the family, more often, soldiers die when they die, and the corpse is burned, and it is a hundred.
Even his family members look forward to it all day long, and when they die, they don't know where their loved ones are.
Although it is said that there is no death notice, there can still be a missing, it is likely that your relatives will come back one day and see each other again, but worrying all day long is never a thing, it is likely to get sick, it is better to have a great sadness and continue to live a good life.
Maple Leaf County introduced a pension system, which caused a sensation in the cities of several surrounding counties, and some of the people who served in the city also had different intentions.
I am a soldier here, I fight with my life, it is dozens of silver coins per month, one is unlucky and dies, and my family has no benefit, compared to the soldier system of Maple Leaf County, it is a little too far behind.
I heard that the military salary of ordinary soldiers in Maple Leaf County has a gold coin, and through hard work, once a soldier becomes a first-level soldier, even the Dou Qi Secret Codes can be easily obtained, and those Fighting Qi Secret Codes are also a gift from the ruler of Maple Leaf County to soldiers who work hard to cultivate.
Although it is said that there is no difference between the salary of ordinary soldiers and first-class soldiers, it is already a great gift to be able to get a secret book of fighting spirit, not to mention that once a soldier is sacrificed, his family can get a huge pension, and he can also be taken care of by the forces, and there is even a heroic medal, and the signature is signed by the city lord himself.
All kinds of benefits and glory, many people have a comparison in their hearts.
Sometimes I'm afraid to shop around!
Once compared, unexpected problems occur.
These days, there have been many desertions in the Duchy of Antoun, and these people have sneaked back to their homes, and their families did not even bring anything with them, but only the little money they had in their families, and crossed the border into Maple Leaf County.
As long as you enter Maple Leaf County, everything will be fine.
Maple Leaf County does not need to pay poll tax, does not need to pay land grain tax, as long as there are ten acres and eight acres of land for farming, there is still no big problem in feeding a family.
And once you are lucky enough to enter the army, the time will come.
After all, Maple Leaf County sacrificed a lot of soldiers in this war, and in the near future, it will definitely continue to recruit soldiers, and if it goes early, it is likely that he will become a member of the army.
This condolence incident is like a hole in the water tank, which has caused a huge storm.
Not only have deserters and displaced people in the Duchy of Antun, but even the Duchy of Lanyan and the Duchy of Proud Wolf, which are relatively strong, have also seen a tide of people migrating.
At the same time, it also combined Maple Leaf County, a force with three counties...... The prestige has been pushed to the top!
In the past, when Step-by-Cloud implemented reforms and abolished the poll tax and land and grain tax, some people who did not belong to the territory of Maple Leaf County would still be skeptical, because in their concept, all the people in control of the power were greedy, and the nobles with a little power were eager to scrape in the hands of the people, and if they didn't scrape the remaining copper coins in their hands, they would feel uncomfortable.
But this time, the condolence incident made too much trouble, and many businessmen who came and went to Maple Leaf County talked about this incident from time to time, and spread the clones all over the surrounding counties.
After listening to it a lot, although the people are still a little skeptical in their hearts, sometimes there is no wind and no waves, and they are willing to take a look, if it is true?
In the future, you don't need to struggle for survival, you can live well.
There was a tidal wave of people migrating, and the three principalities around Maple Leaf County invariably set up checkpoints to limit the overall loss rate of people in their own territory.
It's just that all kinds of actions are not very useful, not to mention that the surrounding area extends in all directions, but there are not many obstacles, and how many soldiers do you need to set up sentry posts?
Very often, the soldiers sent out, squad after squad are lost.
In this way, if it does not change, the three principalities have been able to meet their own end, and as a last resort, they have also lowered their taxes, the poll tax has been completely abolished, and the land grain tax has been reduced to 30% of the total, that is, the nobles who own land take 20% of it as land lease fees, and the principality takes 10% of it as taxes.
It has greatly reduced the pressure on the people's survival.
Hearing that the three principalities were overwhelmed by themselves, Wright Buyun only smiled, without taxes, the two principalities of Lan Yan and Proud Wolf could still rely on the support of the magic crystal mine, but the Duchy of Antun was in big trouble.
The Realm of Chaos is rich in minerals, but after thousands of years of mining, except for a part of the magic crystal mine, other minerals have been almost dug up, and they generally rely on squeezing the people to support the finances, once most of the tax revenue is reduced, the pressure is so great, he can imagine it.
The back garden of the Black Mist City City Lord's Mansion!
Wright stood on the steps outside the hall of his residence, looking at the little chubby girl playing with Xiaobai in the garden, with a little smile on his face, and said softly: "How are the people who have poured into our territory arranged?" ”
Monro, who was standing next to him, replied respectfully: "My lord, everything has been handled properly, now we have the territory of the three counties, and the land of all the nobles in the territory has been recovered, and there is no big problem in the matter of resettlement of the people. ”
"Do those nobles have a grudge?" Wright smiled, the land recovery is a step that needs to be done, without land, how can people live in peace?
On the Magnolia Continent, the land is completely in the hands of the nobles, and if you want to farm, you must rent it from the nobles, which is also the way the nobles squeeze the people at the bottom.
"They don't dare to have it, and even if they do, they can only hide it in their hearts, and they don't dare to say that adults are not." Meng Luo replied with a slight smile, Black Mist City was also treated like this at the beginning, even his own land was reclaimed, and he said in his heart that there was no resentment, it was fake, but the adults compensated a few restaurants or shops, and earned more money than before.
In fact, in other regions, there is not much profit from land cultivation, it is just something that the nobility uses to show their status, there are other business compensation, land or something, dispensable.
Once you need to do breeding business, you can also go to the government affairs center to rent, it can be said that everything is now on track.
"That's fine, I don't want to cut everyone out and compensate them for something else, that's all." Of course, Wright Buyun knows that this Magnolia Continent has been ruled by nobles for thousands of years, and the way has been passed down for a long time, once he does something too crazy and drugs too violently, he will become a class enemy, and the aristocratic class of the whole continent will be hostile to him, even some high-level members of the empire, and some powerhouses of the Holy Domain.
These people are people of class, if you go to overthrow them, how can they not be hostile to you!
"My lord, now that we are on orbit, the two principalities of Lan Yan and Proud Wolf have been disabled, and there is no big threat to us for the time being." Munro said cautiously: "And the financial problems always bother us people, and we can't start a war every time the fiscal falls into deficit, so a good fiscal revenue is a must to circulate the bad." ”
"So what do you want to do? Raising the land grain tax? Wright Buyun turned his head and looked at Monroe, with a strange look on his face, and he was immediately frightened that the latter did not dare to speak again.
In fact, if you want to solve the financial problem, there is a way for Stepy Cloud, the Magnolia Empire is a huge economic power, the people of the empire are very rich, a very ordinary family, and the wealth can even be compared with a baron in O'Brien, and the civilians in the empire are also the happiest country in the Magnolia Continent.
The people don't need to worry about survival at all, so the Magnolia Empire is the most powerful empire on the mainland.
Many people say that O'Brien is the number one military power in the Magnolia Continent, but that is just that the Magnolia Empire has no ambition to expand, after all, they have unified the Magnolia Continent 10,000 years ago, and they have no ambition to unify the continent.
And once the military control is carried out, it will be easy to destroy the O'Brien Empire without the god-level powerhouses going out and the Sanctuary powerhouses not participating in the war.
After all, the high priest 'Catherine', the master of the Temple of Life, has little ambition, and she is also a woman, so she always has a peaceful attitude towards the expansion of the territory. And the martial god O'Brien is just an upgraded powerhouse who fuses the lower godhead to achieve the god position, which is not a little worse than the strength of the former.
In addition, the law of life was originally the four major laws, stronger than the fire element, and the strength of the two was not equal at all, even if he had the ambition to unify the continent, he would not dare to implement it at all.
