Count Frederick whispered softly: "Count Bafaria was killed by the 'fearless knights', the bad news quickly swept the south of the Yangtze River, the furious Knights of Fort William will rise up, and the nationalist Van Känke nobles of Wiener will echo inside and out, setting off a frenzy of revenge, and use the blood of the nobles of Sirisha to pay tribute to the loyal martyrs of Fort William - the Prince Sirisha to whom you are loyal has a 60% chance of dying in the city of Wiener, and will never return to the prosperous Cilica capital 'Breslo' in its entirety." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info So when you die with me, it's best to start your dull brain and think about it, because your esteemed Royal Highness the Prince will also be buried together. You can give it a try. ”

The Count's soft voice was like a sharp knife embedded in the heart of the Sith. The Sith was speechless, and the huge asbestos glove clenched for a second, and then slowly released. Then the plate rang out, and the Sith turned away.

"You're going to pay the price. The Sith simply repeated the cruel syllable, and the persistent gambling curse smashed into the hearts of the four knights of Fort William like a hammer: "Frederick, William, you will pay a heavy price." ”

With that, the Sith pushed open the glass door, hunched over and walked out of the tavern, disappearing into the blazing white sunlight.

As Sith walked away, Lancelot exhaled his first breath of air, then gasped violently, dripping in a cold sweat, and told the Count with great concern: "Sith is a skilled killing rhinoceros. Count, he is the ace knight of Prince Sirisha, you don't know how dangerous you are just now!"

"Thankfully, he's not the smartest of the dreadnought knights. The earl also held back his sweat, sat down calmly, and waved his hand lightly: "The top priority is to solve the internal troubles, and then consider the external troubles." Sheffield, tell me about the status of the technician class. ”

Sheffield experienced the thrilling scene just now, although his mouth opened wide in fright, but he was inspired by the count's composure, and immediately became nervous, rubbed his hands and said: "Moritz and I are both employed by the war workshop under Fort William, and I am responsible for making crossbows, and sometimes casting smoothbore barrels. Moritz and they are responsible for forging power swords, and the yield rate is acceptable. We worked hard, our daily wages changed every day, from 1 million DAKs a day to 200 million DAKs a day, and we still struggled to make ends meet. ”

"The bakery doesn't accept Daks anymore because it's depreciating too quickly. Moritz interjected, "They only accept foreign banknotes, or silver and gold coins." ”

"It won't be long before the bar rejects Dak. Lady Mary announced behind the bar, shrugging her shoulders and adding, "I'm already desperate for this waste paper." ”

"And the lady just said that the central bank has no solid plan to save the situation. Sheffield shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment and confessed, "My brothers...... Considered a runaway, really. With our craftsmanship, we can at least support ourselves by escaping to 'Watertown' Venez to work as a blacksmith. ”

"Or run away to Wiener. Moritz interjected quietly, "I heard that the financial situation in the imperial capital is basically normal. But in Mingxing City, we are running out of food. ”

"What about the peasant?" said Frederick. "Food is really getting scarce. ”

"The farmer fled. Sheffield told the truth: "The farmer had more or less a few hundred daks in his deposit. Later, the gold exchange window was closed, prices rose like feathers, a glass of beer was sold for 40 million ducks, and all the farmers' savings were lost. Many farms outside Mingxing are vacant and uncultivated, all left behind by bankrupt farmers. ”

"Farmers went bankrupt, food prices went up, and soon they couldn't feed the urban population. Lancelot added solemnly, he had an account in mind: "It takes three farmers to feed a technician, and two technicians to work hard to provide a knight with good equipment, and to include the rations of knights and horses, at least nine farmers need to feed a knight - without counting the cost of equipment and labor." ”

"Some of the peasants fled to the free city of Venez, and some sold their children to the village lords as serfs and went to the army as draftees, so that they could have something to eat. "Moritz is well aware of what's going on. Farmers rely on twice a year for their income, so they place great emphasis on savings. Prices skyrocketed, and farmers bore the brunt and were the first to go bankrupt.

"If you want to save the city, you must first save food. Bankrupt farmers must be retained. Frederick tapped lightly on the table.

Jacob sat down and confided in anguish, "But the revenues from the coal mines in western Bafaria have been monopolized by the local vassals, and they have stopped paying taxes for three weeks. Iron ore from Sirisha could not be shipped either. Without coal and iron, the War Workshop could not refine snow steel and replenish the Order's armor and shield swords, so the Knights struggled to defeat the speculative vassals who stood on their own feet due to lack of food, wages, and dilapidated weapons. ”

"We need a new arsenal of weapons and armor to re-establish the right to tax. Without the deterrence of force, Fort William will soon be eaten away by 500 vassals. Frederick frowned and concluded, "The priority is to build new munitions and replace the wrecking things left over from before the war." ”

"But we don't have much gold left to buy coal and iron. The War Workshop is in a state of loss, it has been paying its technicians with paper money, and the technicians are already losing, and soon, our War Workshop will be paralyzed, the furnace will be extinguished, and it will never be productive. Lancelot clutched his sword in distress.

"Can't the technicians stay and tide over the difficulties together......" The outspoken Sir Raymond touched his head and just finished speaking, only to realize that there were two excellent technicians sitting beside him. Looking at Sheffield who was restless, Raymond hurriedly waved his hand and apologized: "I know, I know, you can't eat anymore, because the farmers have run away, and you can't buy bread with paper money." ”

"It's a death cycle, Your Highness. Lancelot looked sadly at the pensive Earl and summed it up softly: "The Nine Victorious Powers have destroyed us with a single Treaty of the Hall of Mirrors - we will perish automatically without their sword." Without a farmer's plow, the knight's sword could hardly remain sharp. ”

Frederick was silent for a long time. His thumb slowly scraped the cold beer glass, and in the midst of the desperate crowd, he thought with a tense face until the cold beer precipitated the malt, until the soggy beer glass became dry and warm.

Sheffield looked at him cautiously, and Lancelot looked down and frowned, wistful. Everyone is searching for dry intestines and looking for a way to rejuvenation.

Suddenly, the Count tapped the table lightly, causing the pensive crowd to look up in surprise.

"Auction of the William Mansion and the vineyard. Frederick clapped.

"But His Royal Highness, Earl!" Lancelot was so anxious that he and the four horsemen looked at each other, and shouted in unison: "That is the ancestral property of the William family, you just ransomed the William Mansion from the royal family!

"The Wilhelm Mansion is your childhood with Lord Otto. Glory painter Florian said quietly. Even he tried to dissuade Frederick from auctioning off his lair, causing their lords to auction off their private homes, and as a knight, he always felt inexplicably guilty and had a troubled conscience.
