After rectifying the military system, Li Feng's main task now is the people's livelihood, a territory can not only have a strong army, the economy is also very important, if there is not enough money to support these troops, no matter how many troops are recruited, it will only be a plate of scattered sand in the end. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The most important reason why the Kingdom of Chino was to be disarmed after the war was that the cost of feeding an army was too great! The treasury of the Kingdom of Chino could not support the consumption of a huge army.

The daily consumption of food and grass is astronomical, not to mention the distribution of military salaries every month, these expenses are too heavy for the Kingdom of Chino.

The Kingdom of Chino is indeed rich, but the really rich are the nobles who control a large territory, they are the kings in their own territory, life and death, reckless, most of the taxes collected from the common people will be used by them to live a luxurious aristocratic life and recruit troops, and what is really handed over to the treasury of the Kingdom of Chino is only a fraction.

According to the custom, 50% of the income of these aristocratic territories must be handed over to the treasury and managed by the Minister of Finance, but the long-term peace of the Kingdom of Chino is no longer the temperless and powerful kingdom of the surrounding countries at the beginning of the founding of the country, and the current Kingdom of Chino has long been devoured by these moth-eaten nobles, leaving only a seemingly powerful shell, and it has long lost its former prestige and glory.

Now most of the revenue of the treasury of the Kingdom of Chino comes from the tax income of the prosperous royal capital, in this area, the Kingdom of Chino has been controlled, at least not let outsiders interfere, it has always been managed by royal personnel, as for the taxes paid by those lords and nobles, it is barely enough for the people of the royal city to eat a few full meals.

The contradiction between the big nobles and the royal family of Chino is already gaining momentum, just waiting for a fuse, and this economic war because of interests is about to start.

But no matter what, the Chino royal family is still the most powerful force in the Chino Kingdom, even those big nobles have to admit that no one is sure how much strength the Chino Kingdom has hidden for nearly a thousand years!

The struggle between these big men really doesn't have much to do with Li Feng, now he just owns a small town as a territory, and the small lord with no more than a thousand soldiers under his command, and a small lord like him in the Chino Kingdom is like a carp crossing the river, stretching endlessly.

"My lord, it seems that a magic crystal mine has been found in our territory, please go and take a look!"

Just when Li Feng was still worried about the future of his territory, Gu Li's arrival interrupted Li Feng's thinking.

"Crystal Mine?"

Li Feng was very surprised, how could there be a magic crystal mine in the West Mountain Domain, if there was a magic crystal mine, how could Baron Knott not be the Lord of the West Mountain for so many years, how could he not find it?

With questions, Li Feng followed Gu Li to the place where the magic crystal mine was found.

"Big brother, let's send it now, I was just patrolling the surrounding area with Captain Guli, and a person broke through and ran over and told me that he had found the magic crystal mine, I didn't believe it yet, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

Li Jin was in high spirits and reported to Li Feng excitedly.

"Oh, so you didn't discover this Magic Crystal Mine yourself, but someone else. ”

Li Feng was even more surprised, who had discovered the magic crystal mine, and who was willing to give away the priceless magic crystal mine?

"The man who found the Crystal Mine, I want to see him. ”

Li Feng was very curious about this person who was the first to discover the magic crystal mine.

"You're the one who discovered the Crystal Mine?"

Li Feng asked the young man in front of him who was in tatters, his hair was dirty, and his body was mixed with some fishy smell.

Li Feng was even more curious now, how could such a person who was more beggars than a beggar master the priceless vein of the Demon Crystal Mine?

"Yes, Lord Lord, I am Gexia, the son of Puka, the only vein seeker in Xishan Town, and I heard that the new lord of Xishan Domain has just taken office, and I specially gave the magic crystal mine as a gift. ”

"Do any of you know Puka?" Li Feng didn't pay attention to Gexia, but asked directly to Zhou Mo behind him.

"My lord, Puka is the only pulse finder in our Xishan Town, and he discovered the small iron mine in our village, but I heard that Puka seems to have passed away a year ago, and his family is missing. ”

"Oh, that's right, then Gesia, should you explain it to me?"

"Dear Baron, my father originally found the precious magic crystal mine for the old puppet of Nott, and gave it to him, but this beast sent someone to kill my father for fear of my father's leakage, and my mother was not spared, only I escaped by hiding in the cellar, and now that the bastard of Nott is dead, and his only nephew has also been killed by you, Gexia has taken revenge and specially offered the magic crystal mine to show gratitude. ”

Gesia burst into tears, and Li Feng, who watched it, was stunned for a while, it turned out that there was such a twist and turn, if he hadn't killed Rose by mistake and avenged Gesia, I'm afraid this magic crystal mine wouldn't be his turn.

Li Feng went to look at the magic crystal mine and found that it was a small magic crystal mine, which was a little difficult to find because it was located in the deep mountains.

"Whose territory is ahead?"

This magic crystal mine is actually on the edge of Xishan Town, a few steps forward is out of the range of Xishan Town, if it is mined on a large scale, it will definitely alarm the attention of the territory lord on the opposite side, Li Feng has no habit of sharing with others, if anyone dares to compete with himself for this magic crystal mine, hehe, let him know what cruelty is!

"Lord Baron, it is the domain of Count Paka, but it is usually run by his brother-in-law, Sir Canoch. ”

This was Gesia's answer, and it seemed that he knew a lot about the situation of this magic crystal mine.

"That old bastard of Nott was afraid that my father would tell Sir Canochi about the Crystal Mine and kill my father. ”

Speaking of his father, Gesia seemed very excited, and it seemed that their father-son relationship was very deep.

"Then why didn't you tell Kanochi about the Magic Crystal Mine after your father's death, so that you could embarrass Nott a little. ”

"My father is a faithful man, I have taught me from the beginning that I can't do anything that harms Xishan Town, my father won't leak secrets, as his son, I can't embarrass him!"

Gesia looked resolute, and Li Feng admired this father and son from the bottom of his heart, such a person of faith.

"Gexia, would you like to be my personal soldier?"

In the past, the special combat team was Li Feng's personal guard, but after all, the special combat team had to perform military affairs frequently, and it could not always protect Li Feng and his family.

Li Feng doesn't care, if he can't stop the enemy with the strength of a silver knight, I'm afraid that even if he adds a special combat team, it will be in vain, but old Li Ka and Fang Qian need someone to protect them, so Li Feng has the idea of reforming the pro-guard team.

"My lord, would you like to take me? I'm just a trainee soldier. ”

"What I value is your father's faithfulness, and you have inherited it. ”

Li Feng smiled and looked at Gexia who was full of surprise.

I ask for a collection and recommend it
