Chapter 130: The Quality of the Commander (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Piloting means coming up with real money to support it.

The Alpha Kingdom is not the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the internal centripetal force is much stronger. Especially against orcs, they usually have +120 unity.

All of us present have a dual capacity, both as administrators and shareholders of the kingdom.

As a leader, you must take the lead in buying at this time, and if the upper echelons are not confident in winning the war, the people below are even less confident.

"As the marshal of the kingdom, I also proposed this plan, so I will take the lead and subscribe for six million acres of land bonds first.

In addition, the two million and 3,000 Kingdom bonds held in his hands, as well as some debts owed by the government, were all converted into land bonds, so as to relieve the financial pressure of the kingdom, and save our Chancellor of the Exchequer from complaining about the high interest rate. ”

Hudson said with a smile.

When it's time to break the bank, you can't be petty. Having just returned from the front, everyone knew that he had made a fortune with Master Hudson.

What's more, there is a lot of money from selling medicine in the front, and the nobles of the kingdom are not rich, and they also have the credit of Hastelloy's medicine.

No one knows the specific profits from selling medicines, but everyone can still make a preliminary judgment from the war money made in the Warhammer Kingdom.

The people below have all made a fortune, and it is impossible to be poor as a coach. Cash + all kinds of physical goods, three or four million gold coins at a discount must be indispensable.

Considering the profiteering nature of magic potions, if he didn't make millions of gold coins, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Rather than being remembered, it is better to take it out and forget it. Anyway, the kingdom really has no money now, and if you don't want the kingdom to go bankrupt at this time, the major shareholders must inject capital.

Throwing out all the high-interest bonds in his hand, Hudson was also forced to do so. From the outbreak of the Continental War, the Ministry of Finance announced that the interest on bonds would be deferred until after the war.

After the war, the kingdom's finances must be able to hold on until after the war. No matter how high the interest income is, it will not be able to withstand financial bankruptcy.

Instead of waiting for the kingdom's finances to go bankrupt and repay its debts, it is better to take the initiative to exchange for land bonds, and by the way, get a good reputation for taking care of the overall situation.

As for the issue of slightly higher land prices, that is a completely false proposition.

The land bonds held by the great nobles will definitely only count the area of arable land in the future, and other messy land will most likely become gifts.

If the bonds are in the hands of small and medium-sized nobles, there are not so many gifts, but when the area of the rotten land is calculated, most of them will also be discounted.

If the bond falls into the hands of a businessman, then there is nothing to say, whether it is good or bad, it will be paid truthfully.

Crossing classes also comes at a cost. How can a fief that can be obtained by spending money alone be possible without a premium?

There is no need to say the problem of unspoken rules in advance. Anyone who understands understands it, and those who don't understand it don't need to understand.

"Since Marshal Hudson has set an example, we must not be left behind.

The royal family subscribed for 7 million gold coins in land bonds, and the debt of more than 8 million yuan owed by the Ministry of Finance to the royal family was also converted into land bonds. ”

Caesar IV pretended to be delighted.

Obviously, his heart was also dripping blood when he made this decision. But there is no way, Hudson, the marshal, has produced so much, how can he be stingy as a king.

Buying land bonds doesn't seem to be a loss, but the problem is that the current royal family is not short of land! There are three provinces in the north alone that have not been developed, and there is no need to rush to the prairie to grab a map.

Land is an asset only when it is developed, and land that cannot be developed is nothing.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Finance owes a lot of debt to the royal family, and he can use these debts, which are likely to be unfinished, and exchange them for land bonds, making the numbers look even more dazzling.

The flesh hurts the flesh, but he didn't mean to complain about Hudson. The issuance of land bonds is undoubtedly the best weapon for the kingdom to get out of the debt crisis in a short period of time.

Both the king and the marshal took the lead in exchanging debts for land bonds, and the nobles were still embarrassed to collect debts from the Ministry of Finance?

As soon as it is simply exchanged, the creditor's relationship changes. Most of the huge debt that weighed on the Ministry of Finance was directly erased.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source, download it here.]

In a short period of time, the financial pressure was greatly reduced, and the Marquis delgado was able to take a breath. Otherwise, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will be put down, and a suitable replacement will not be found in a short period of time.

What's more, subscribing to land bonds does not have to be paid directly, and the equivalent strategic materials can also be discounted.

When the financial situation was difficult, the kingdom procured supplies from the royal family and the great nobles, which was originally a blank slate.

In the past, it was customary for debts to increase to a certain extent beyond the limit of fiscal repayment, and creditors took the initiative to reduce their debts.

Usually it is the Terran Alliance that issues a call, and the international creditors announce the reduction of part of the debt, and the domestic creditors naturally respond positively to the call.

However, that is under the premise of establishing a strong alien race, and all parties need the Alpha Kingdom to block the orc empire. Now that the advantages of the Terrans are becoming more and more obvious, it is useless to expect such a good thing.

Compared to the last orc invasion, it is now more difficult for the royal government to borrow money from the outside world.

Not only did it go from an interest-free loan to an interest-bearing loan, but it also added a bunch of strings of strings, many of which exceeded the bottom line that the kingdom could accept.

If the outside world can't count on it, then it can only tap the potential inside. To put it simply, it means that those who have money pay and those who don't have money give their lives.

The two elders took the lead, and the ministers responded one after another, but the subscription amount was much smaller, and all of them couldn't catch up with the amount of the two.

Hudson did not panic at all, the richest people in the Alpha Kingdom were the great nobles everywhere. Except for a few new nobles who are not rich in their pockets, the rest are extremely rich.

Especially those ancient big families, the wealth accumulated over thousands of years is an astonishing number.

Just look at the prices.

On the premise that there has been no major change in the productive forces, the amount of money issued has increased every year, and prices on the mainland have been stable for hundreds of years.

There is no doubt that these additional currencies eventually flow into the cellars of the great nobles.

Compared to the nobles of the Southern Continent, the wealth accumulation of the noble group of the Alpha Kingdom is not rich.

Because of the frequent wars, much of the kingdom's wealth was outflowed. After the end of the war, there will even be economic deflation.

Of course, under the system of self-sufficiency of the feudal monarchy, the impact of deflation on the economy was not great.

There is a money panic, and it is a big deal to barter directly. There weren't many commodities traded in the first place, and forbearance was over.

Anyway, no matter how bad the economic environment is, the nobles will not let the serfs lose their jobs. If the grain could not be sold, more warehouses were built and piled up. The next time war breaks out, storage can deplete excess food capacity.

As soon as the land bond was sold, Hudson was relieved. The higher the cost of investment, the more people are tied to death by the chariot, and the less worried they are about making trouble.

After the great nobles from all over the country have donated their money, all the interest groups of the kingdom have been trapped in this war, and the internal contradictions will be suppressed to the greatest extent.

……

Northern Xinjiang, the camp of the orc army. The five emperors came to the front line in person to celebrate this hard-won victory.

In recent years, the Orc Empire has had a bad time. Painstakingly preparing to start a war, the allies did not follow in time, and they were beaten by the Terrans.

After paying a terrible price, he was about to recuperate when the continental war suddenly broke out again.

Involved in the war again, everyone actually has no bottom in their hearts. Forced by the situation, we can only bite the bullet.

Fortunately, the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland were easy to bully, and they didn't waste much effort, so they cleaned them up.

The difference between a small country and a large country is still very clear. Being able to easily clean up the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland does not mean that you can easily defeat the Alpha Kingdom.

As an old enemy who has been fighting for hundreds of years, everyone knows the difficulty of the Alpha Kingdom, and no one has any illusions that they can destroy this enemy, and everyone's goal is only to regain the lost ground.

Unexpectedly, after a sneak attack by Duke Daniel, the enemy took the initiative to carry out strategic contraction and return a large area of land to them.

"Emperors, now is not the time to be happy. If the enemy stays behind and fights us to the death, there is still a chance to annihilate them.

However, they suddenly carried out strategic contraction, and the battle plan that they had originally deployed could no longer be used.

If nothing else, the enemy will soon change commanders. We want to destroy the Alpha Kingdom in a short period of time, I'm afraid it's ......"

Before Duke Daniel could finish speaking, the Lion Emperor interrupted: "Marshal Daniel, the current situation is very good.

Five years ago, we would not hesitate to support you in destroying the Alpha Kingdom, but not now.

With the current strength of the empire, even if it can destroy the Alpha Kingdom, it will not be able to stop the counterattack of mankind.

The international situation has deteriorated too quickly, the orc kingdom has fallen, and only sporadic armed forces are left to resist; The ancient remnants who were able to help us were abolished by the Arfa again.

The other races in the alliance are not having a good time, and they are all waiting for reinforcements from the elves, but the pedantic elves are pitiful and inefficient.

Judging from the current situation, it is a great victory to be able to ensure that the races within the alliance will not be destroyed by the Terrans.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

All ethnic groups looked forward and backward, they did not launch with us a few years ago, and missed the best time to shoot, which was already doomed to the current tragedy.

The Empire is powerless to reverse the general trend, what we have to do is to keep the existing interests and not let the Terrans continue to grow! ”

The words "coercion" make it hard to believe that this is from the mouth of the Lion Emperor. You know, a few years ago, he was the most staunch main fighter.

There is no way, this is the power of the iron fist of the continental hegemon. After being beaten once, I knew the weight of the mainland hegemon.

In the face of survival, hatred is secondary.

Ambition needs strength after all, and the last war extinguished the ambition of the five emperors to compete for hegemony on the mainland, and now they just want to recover.

Glancing at the emperors, Daniel sighed secretly. If he had been in command in the last war, even if he couldn't win the Terrans, he would definitely not have been defeated so badly.

"Your Majesty the Lion Emperor, the situation on the mainland is indeed very unfavorable to us, but it is not much better for the Alpha Kingdom.

Without the pressure of the Alliance, it would be difficult for the Terrans to unite again. In the subsequent battles, even if they can get some support, this strength will not be too great.

As long as the Alpha Kingdom is severely damaged, we will be able to win thirty years of recuperation.

For the sake of the stability of the empire for the next thirty years, we must continue to be on the offensive in the next battle. ”

Since the ambitions of several emperors are gone, the painting cake must be smaller, so that they feel that they can achieve it with just a little effort.

The main reason is that there are too many races within the orc empire, and even as the commander-in-chief, he has been restrained by all sides.

said that they wanted to unite, but the five royal families have been fighting for so many years, how can they eliminate the estrangement with one sentence.

When it comes to the military power of racial survival, no one dares to give it up easily. Daniel is the commander of the army, but he must be responsible to the five emperors at the same time.

The previous self-assertion has caused a lot of slander. For the sake of victory on the battlefield, no one asked this question, but the seeds of doubt were planted.

Reconciling internal strife is also part of the manager's responsibility. It is often more difficult to do this than to win a battle.

……

Back in the mountain collar, the beautiful sleep was beautiful, and Hudson, who had just relaxed, was attracted by the data in his hand.

The number of refugees in the northern continent should continue to grow, but the number of immigrants brought in in these days has not increased but decreased.

"What do the officials of the immigration department eat, and why has the number of immigrants suddenly dropped?"

Hudson asked, exasperated.

In a high position, he has long been accustomed to being moody. The last time I lost my temper like this was two years ago.

It's just that this time the matter is too big, and no matter how good the cultivation is, it can't hide the anger in my heart.

The number of refugees accepted will be directly related to the future development of the mountain territory. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to go to great lengths to expand the territory if there was no one.

The opportunity to massively increase the population is rare once in decades. If you miss this opportunity, you will not be able to catch up with the demand by relying on the natural growth of the population, no matter how much you encourage fertility!

"Earl, we have brought in a large number of immigrants, which has attracted a lot of attention from the outside world. Although no one stumbled, there were still many nobles who followed the trend.

Of course, this is only a secondary reason for the decrease in the number of immigrants. With the cooperation of the Duchy of Moxie, we have an absolute advantage in bringing in immigrants.

It's just that this situation changed at the end of last month. The slowdown in the number of refugees in the Duchy of Moxi, combined with the recovery of the Great Plains of Warhammer, attracted a large number of Warhammers to return.

As a result of these headwinds, our plans to bring in refugees have also been frustrated. The Immigration Department has communicated with the Principality of Moxie and is sure to ...... soon"

In the end, Jacob's confidence was suddenly insufficient. The number of refugees was not as high as expected, and the introduction of refugee programmes was bound to suffer.

Even if the government of the Principality of Moxi is willing to cooperate, but now that the war is over, a large amount of abandoned land in their country still needs labor to reclaim.

At the end of the day, there are not enough refugees.

If you want to dig deeper, either the refugees are unwilling to stay in the Northern Continent, or the elven army is advancing too fast, and everyone doesn't even have a chance to escape.

Hudson didn't think it was the latter.

The Interracial Alliance is still waiting for the elven army to come to support, and the elves are busy in a hurry, where can they pay attention to the refugees fleeing in all directions.

No one deliberately obstructed it, and the influx of refugees into neighboring countries was inevitable. Either head south into the Middle Continent or flee to the relatively stable Duchy of Moxi.

"Tom, send someone to inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Let them send the latest information on the war situation in the northern continent, and attach some international events worthy of attention. ”

Hudson immediately ordered.

The biggest advantage of being a Kingdom Marshal is that you can use the Kingdom's intelligence network. As long as they are interested, they can let them look it up.

The only regret is that the kingdom's intelligence network is very rudimentary, and it is all collected by the foreign offices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Only some ordinary intelligence can be received, and the penetration of governments is not deep.

"Yes, Count!"

As he spoke, Tom turned and went out, leaving Jacob standing there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

"Okay, the question of the decrease in immigration, let's leave it at that! The focus of the Ministry of Government is still on the resettlement of migrants.

In the past six months, the territory has received a large number of immigrants, which is also a great challenge to the government affairs system.

Either way, settle them down first and let everyone have a job. ”

Hudson said calmly.

In just half a year, the population of the territory has directly doubled. There is also a large influx of refugees on the road, which is also a test for local governance.

In this regard, Hudson is not very demanding. As long as the people are settled and there is no chaos, the remaining problems can be solved slowly later.

If there are no jobs, they will go to open up wasteland, build roads, and repair water conservancy projects. Most of the swamp has been developed, but there is enough space left for everyone to work for a while.

When it is done, we will readjust the industrial structure. It is estimated that the continental war will end first before that day can be waited.

If you win the war, you will naturally have new territories for everyone to develop. If you unfortunately lose, a large number of casualties will also make room for survival.

Compared with the external expansion of victory, defeat is the peak period of internal annexation. A large number of unlucky nobles are heirs, and it is another feast.

It's all about replenishment losses anyway, and eating from the outside is the same as eating from the inside. The difference lies only in the great merger, and there is no room for easing the internal contradictions.

The decline of a country often begins with the intensification of internal contradictions. The harder you squeeze internally, the faster it will collapse.
