Chapter 215: Armistice
Faced with the urgent need for stability in the city, and the reconstruction also requires a lot of funds, so these tens of millions of huge wealth must be returned as soon as possible.
On this day, Amanda gathered everyone as usual to come up with a solution.
Seeing that everyone didn't say a word as soon as they came in, she was the first to speak: "My plan is to let all the citizens write down their losses, and then make plans." ”
As soon as the words fell, a lot of objections were immediately aroused.
"No, those people will definitely scribble and make false reports when the time comes. ”
"If those people are not satisfied, something will definitely happen, and that's how human nature is. ”
Listening to the constant noise of the crowd, Amanda slapped the table again and shouted: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say?"
At this time, everyone couldn't help but bow their heads again, and the room fell into deep thought again.
After taking a deep breath, Amanda continued, "I've already made a plan for this, now it's up to Lilos to announce the implementation policy!"
Lilos glanced at everyone and said, "The method we have adopted is to divide the people in the city into several districts and investigate their economic situation separately, so as to reduce their false reporting. ”
There was no further opposition to this, after all, this is also the most practical method.
The next day, many people entered the designated area and began to investigate each household.
"How much did your family lose this time?"
"About three or four gold coins. ”
"How much do you think the neighbors next door will lose?"
"They're poorer than me, so they're only a few dozen silver coins!"
After a week of investigation, more than 100 people in several rooms were counting the data to see if they could match the number of gold coins recovered.
Amanda and Lilos are anxiously waiting for the outcome, a plan that they both came up with, and if it fails, it will haunt them for a long time.
After waiting for a while, the statistics came, and Amanda hurriedly asked, "How is it, can it match?"
The statistician shook his head and replied, "More than a million." ”
Hearing this, the two of them also fell into deep thought, thinking about how to fill this gap.
Lilos opened her mouth and proposed, "If you don't investigate again, someone must be making a false report." ”
Amanda waved her veto: "No, it's just a waste of time, and there will still be people cheating." ”
Hearing this, Lilos looked at her and asked, "So what now?"
"I had to talk to the richest people in town. ”
In the evening, Felicia gathered together a dozen of the city's wealthiest merchants and feasted them for dinner.
Those businessmen were also very honored to be able to participate in this dinner, after all, for them businessmen, it is very beneficial to have a good relationship with the royal family.
Amanda chatted with them while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Seeing that the time was almost up, she opened her mouth and went straight to the point: "This time the city is in chaos, I believe you have also lost a lot!"
"Yes, the house has been completely destroyed, and the valuable things in the house have been removed. ”
"My family is the worst, several of the servants have died, and if I hadn't run fast, I might have died there. ”
Listening to their complaints one by one, Amanda also smiled and replied: "You are all rich people in the city, and you should have well hidden your property. ”
As soon as these words came out, the merchants understood the purpose of the meal.
Amanda looked at the dozen or so people in front of her, and muttered in her heart: Don't I understand what I mean by this?
Just as she was about to speak, someone preemptively said: "Queen, I don't want the property I lost, just take it as a little contribution I have made to the country!"
With the statement of the first person, others also echoed it, expressing their willingness not to compensate.
Amanda was also very satisfied with this, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, and I will definitely take care of you in the future." ”
The dinner ended smoothly, and all that remains is to return the money.
The next day, this huge amount of money was slowly distributed, and the amount was distributed according to the previous registration, and the citizens had no objection to it, and the crisis was successfully resolved.
At the same time, Surin and Urban also arrived in Banhard, ready to sign the armistice.
Banhad was also buzzing at this time, with banners waving everywhere to celebrate the victory in the war.
Su Lin and the others could feel the enthusiastic cheers around them when they walked on the street, and everyone had smiles on their faces.
However, Urban and his generals were expressionless at this time, and they just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
After arriving at the palace and settling down, Huon also hurried to prepare for tomorrow's signing ceremony, which will be the most influential event ever held on the mainland.
In the evening, Surin was also eating dinner with Lance, Benguela and others, chatting with each other.
"I said, brother-in-law, how did you get the church to agree to this agreement? Hunn asked curiously.
"It's very simple, the lesser of the two powers, he will agree to sign this agreement, because if he doesn't sign it, the consequences will be more serious, and this agreement is only a reparation, and there is no treaty that humiliates the country such as land cession. ”
When Surin drew up this agreement, there was only one point besides the indemnity, which was to open a treaty port along the coast of Alva, after all, where to do business and continue to make money in the future.
The next day, a few hundred chairs were slowed down on a lawn inside the palace, with a table in the middle.
Soon Muga, Curtis, and other lords who participated in the war sat down in their chairs, waiting for the signing ceremony to begin.
Urban also led a group of people to sit on the chairs opposite, all of them all grim-faced.
When everyone had arrived, Surin, Lance, and Benguela sat down on the chairs at the middle table, and then Urban sat opposite.
The four of them glanced at each other, then picked up the four agreements on the table and began to sign them, then exchanged them with each other.
The contract stipulated that the church must pay Muga 50,000,000 gold coins, Curtiz 30,000,000 gold coins, and Logo 20,000,000 gold coins, for a total of 100,000,000,000 gold coins, and the remaining 330,000,000 gold coins to be paid annually in installments.
At this time, the lords of the three countries were also very excited, and they would be able to get a lot of shares at that time, and their faces were full of joy.
After the signing was completed, Lance also put away the quill pen and said with a smile: "This pen is worth a thousand gold, I have to keep it." ”
"Haha, that's right, I'm going to keep it too. ”
At this moment, a large number of citizens were gathering outside the palace, all wanting to know what was going on inside.
At this moment, a man rushed out of it and shouted excitedly: "We are victorious, victorious." ”
"Whoa"
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately began to let out a roar of rage, in this war, Muga was the most seriously invaded, the population was reduced by a third, the land and houses were destroyed, and they were the most eager to win the war.
Soon after, Urban and the others also came out, and they were ready to return with the army, while raising the first payment of 100 million gold coins.
"Alva Pig, get out of here, you're not welcome here. ”
""
At the same time, Lance is also ready to return, he has to go back to clean up Garris's group of villains, although they have fled back, but he will not let them go easily.
After he left, Benguela also looked at Surin and said, "Now that the war is over, what are your plans?"
Surin replied in a deep voice: "I have something to do, I must take Buori." ”
"How can I help?"
"No need, now Muga also needs to recover the economy, I will deal with it myself. ”
After a few days in Banhard, Bowden arrived from Alva, and as soon as he heard the news of the armistice.
Then they left with a dozen griffons and hundreds of thousands of troops.
Seeing that it was not Buori but Motril in the direction of progress, Felicia asked, "Are we on the wrong path?" ”
Su Lin shook his head and said, "No, there are some grievances that must be settled before leaving." ”
He was referring to Maronte's design to frame himself, which led to the sacrifice of Gordon and others.
At the same time, when Marent knew that Surin was still alive, he knew that he would definitely have this day, but he did not choose to leave, but planned to defend the city of Motril.
A month later, Surin led a large army to the city, but did not besiege the city.
Seeing this, Felicia smiled again: "You must have some ghost idea!"
"What the hell is the idea, I'm calling it cleverness!"
With that, Surin waved his hand, called O'Harden up, and asked, "It's up to you next." ”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the mission. ”
Immediately, O'Harden flew over the city of Motril with a dozen griffons, along with a large pocket.
And the citizens of the city were also confused when they knew that Surin had come here with an army, they were allies!
Just when everyone was frightened and people's hearts were fluctuating, they suddenly saw more than a dozen griffons flying in the sky, and then the people above began to scatter paper below, and suddenly it rained in the sky.
When the paper fell, people began to pick it up, and when they found the words on it, they read it carefully.
"I didn't expect the city lord to be such a person, it disappoints us so much. ”
"I said he wasn't a good guy before, and you didn't believe him. ”
