Chapter 1275: The Battle of the Aristocrats
,!
Ricardo? Seeing this, Kaveh raised the Celestial Emblem in his hand and said, "If you want to open the banking function for these small countries, I must go there myself." If I still have the title of nobility, it would be inconvenient at such a time. The Grand Duke of the Empire will not run to the territory of another country for no reason. If it is perceived as an act of aggression, it will not be conducive to our next plans, both internally and externally. ”
For the old duke's behavior of renouncing the title, he has personally put forward a seemingly reasonable explanation. Although most of the doubts of everyone have been dispelled, some people still don't understand and ask, "My lord, do you have to do this yourself?" According to you, as long as the first bank is established, we can have believers and priests. Wouldn't it be nice to let them go to other kingdoms and establish banks. ”
"Yes, if you just plan to make money from them, then I'll leave this kind of thing to you, and I don't need to make a trip myself."
Everyone couldn't help but be curious about the old master, who was going to hand over the title, saying this. He asked, "My lord, do you mean that you have other thoughts about those weak countries?" ”
"Of course." The old duke smiled and said, "The money that has to be spent is called money." It's just in the warehouse, it's just a thing. Following the path I have promised to the goddess of gold coins, I will not hinder the construction of the bank, and will do my best to promote it. If we want to promote it, what do you think our friendly neighbors will think if we find out that we have made a lot of gold and silver from them? ”
"My lord, what those poor people think, does it matter? Hahahaha. Everyone laughed.
The old duke waved his hand and said, "Of course it doesn't matter. ”
The country and the nobility in the north, for the Kawi family, although it will take some effort to destroy it, it is not impossible. However, to rule that poor and remote place, you have to invest more effort and money yourself. And I don't know how long it will take to operate for that piece of land to generate income.
Rather than knocking it down, it is better to leave it alone, and it can also become a barrier between other major powers. This is a common situation within the borders of the Gwana Empire today.
"But!" The old duke spoke loudly, stopping everyone's laughter and drawing everyone's attention. If we use the money we earn from them on them, we will not only benefit from it, but we will also gain their gratitude. There's no reason not to do this kind of good thing. ”
"On them? What is there of value in that poor place? Someone at the bottom asked.
The old duke did not answer directly. Just pointed to the map of the northern border of the empire, drew a line from the three northern kingdoms of the Duke of Kaveh, and connected to the north of the territory of the Risa family. This line once again made everyone's eyes shine!
As everyone knows, the motorized Kavi army can choose a route to attack the territory of the Risa family at will, but in fact, there is also a direction, that is, east, west, and south. No matter how much the Kaveh army's army took a detour, it would not attack from outside the country, that is, from the north.
This was due to the fact that there were mountains along the border line of the empire, blocking possible circuitous routes. If the Kavehs really wanted to attack from the north, they would have to go around in a big circle. Even if the car can run again, it will lose the surprise of the surprise because the distance is too long.
Of course, this reality was taken advantage of by the Risa family, and now the Duke of Risa has almost withdrawn all the troops on the border and scattered them to various points in the territory to guard against the attack of the Kavi family. This group of troops who originally guarded the border is the trump card in the hands of the Risa family.
If you follow the strategy that the old duke showed in front of everyone, it means that the three northern kingdoms of the Duke of Kaveh are hired, and even those minor nobles are hired, so that they can send troops to threaten the north of the Risa family.
Of course, no one thinks that these mercenaries will be able to achieve anything, but only hope that they can put pressure on the Risa family to redeploy the almost abandoned border defenses. Doing so, of course, is to add an additional burden to the already stretched military and financial resources of the Risa family.
Even if they really took advantage of the empty defense line to break into the Duke of Lisa, the bottom line of everyone was to tolerate this group of mercenaries and leave. The spoils of mercenary warfare, the hired party will not interfere or take it, this is a common practice in the land.
If they dare to stay there for a long time, they will have the potential to annex the place. Then, when the Kavi army's army has cleaned up the remnants of the Risa family, they will drive away these evil guests who have been invited in. By the way, spit out all the previous results! The people of the Kaveh family have such confidence.
Therefore, no one expressed any objection to Kavigong's godly strategy. On the contrary, I appreciated it and discussed it enthusiastically.
This is also because the concept of 'country' is not very strong. In their eyes, Kavigong's strategy is not to introduce foreign enemies and invade the same country's brothers. It's just a nobleman asking for the help of other nobles to attack another nobleman together.
It's just that the nobles who came to help were the kings of other countries, and the kings of Grand Duke Kaveh were the emperors. As long as the feudal monarchs don't open their mouths and pinch each other, how the vassals play is the vassals' business. In any case, everyone is also a 'Terran', and the opposite is not a goblin or orc, and certainly not a barbarian.
However, someone at the bottom still asked: "My lord, although such a strategy is good, why do you need to give up your title and let the Marquis of Falshid take over early?" ”
The old duke explained: "After all, the face of the empire still has to be taken care of. We borrowed mercenaries to threaten the Risa family, and we were bound to bear our banner. For such actions, the emperor will definitely be held accountable in the future. If it had been me who had done this, not the 'Grand Duke of Carvey', the severity of the matter would have been different. At least we can do a better job of preserving the family. And holding high the blood flag, it's not like our two families are done after fighting. There will be other actions in the follow-up emperor. But as long as a face-saving amount is given on the inheritance money, perhaps the emperor will selectively forget certain things and simplify the subsequent processing. ”
In fact, when it comes to this, everyone understands it. Ricardo? Kaveh's renunciation of the title was indeed a sign of weakness to the emperor. But it is not a complete surrender for the previous things, but for the sake of better room for maneuver in the future strategy.
The ultimate goal is still to annihilate the Risa family. It's just that in addition to increasing the advantages against the Risa family, the old duke also took the lead in deploying ways to deal with the post-war situation. The nobleman in charge of the family personally bears the responsibility, and no matter how much the emperor blames at this time, he will not implicate the entire family, which is also a mysterious practice.
Looking at the relieved expressions on everyone's faces, Kavi Gong smiled again and said, "I know what everyone is worried about. But let's put it this way, do you think that if I lose my title now, I will lose all the power in my hands? If it's still the same as it was in the past, then why don't I use methods that can increase the odds of winning and make the Risa family lose even more. ”
The vassals laughed. The only one with a bitter face is Nonan? Marquis of Farshid.
Originally, the Marquis thought that since his father had become an extraordinary person and his lifespan was different from that of ordinary people, perhaps he would have to stay in this Marquis of Farshid, the title exclusive to the heir of the Kaveh family, for the rest of his life, and he would never be able to inherit the title of Grand Duke of Kaveh. But now I have inherited it, but it seems to be the same as not inheriting......
It is conceivable what an old man who has lost the shackles of a noble title, but whose power has not diminished, will become a waste. Then I have to do how to carry the pot and how to help the old man wipe his ass.
When he was a son, his face became even more bitter.
What happened in the castle of the Kaveh family, some magician in the Holy City did not know and did not want to know. During this time, in addition to waiting for the emperor's summoning notice, he was busy with the affairs of the goddess of gold coins.
The opening of the first bank in the holy city of Estali has greatly eased the problem of crowds crowding the lobby of the Technical Guild.
There was a group of extremely strong elves in the town, plus the most urgent group of people who were digested in the previous big queue. So after the official opening of the bank, the order situation is much better.
The uniforms of the elves working in the bank were unveiled, with the appearance of the elves, and they also gained a group of admirers who followed fashion. Regardless of men and women, the concise and neat line provokes as if heralding the arrival of a new era, and is sought after by everyone.
And because this dress does not violate the restrictions of nobles or magicians, such as goose yellow and sky blue that only nobles can use, or small shawls that only magicians can wear, these are all clothes that people who do not have a certain status can cause trouble when they wear them. Therefore, the tailors who rely on the technical guild have ushered in a wave of business opportunities. For a time, plain fabrics in the holy city were out of stock.
This phenomenon also makes people know from the side that the consumption power of the holy city of Estali is now terrifying. And it's not just magicians, but also magicians and non-magicians who show amazing purchasing power.
Originally, someone thought that as long as the rules of the bank were set, they would stick to the rules, and anyone could only choose to abide by them or give up using the functions of the bank. But that's just a beautiful delusion, and it doesn't work that way.
Every mortal who uses the bank's functions will be able to talk to Ke Yin directly. And the conversation with the gods does not have to be spoken, as long as there are strong thoughts, the gods can still feel them.
When it comes to the use of banks, almost everyone will have their own additional requirements and ideas. Most of these thoughts were ignored by Ke Yin. But once in a while, there will be a bright spot or two, and it is not impossible for the goddess to intuitively do so.
This is not to say that women are intuitive animals, but that Keyin, as the goddess of gold coins, has a good or bad intuition about things related to the priesthood. But good things should also be carried out at a good time, not just on the table, which is the focus of someone's emphasis all along. So Lin was dragged to the Kingdom of God to discuss these 'shining points'.
