Section 409, Ziqi's Reward (II)

A second-rate nobleman said that his family had been paying attention to the dynamics of the northern royal court, so he dared to say so.

"It seems that you have a lot of backbone, guard, invite this head of the family out to let him bleed, I guess I have eaten a little too much good things recently, and I also sued the three groups and copied his house. He seems to have forgotten who gave him his surname, so he simply degraded them all to commoners. Ziqi said tepidly.

"Shaft, you dare. This second-rate family master was excited, since Ziqi wiped out all the forces of the top family in Wind King City, his family has risen to the highest pyramid, as long as he keeps his current strength, no matter whether the southern or northern royal court wins the final victory in the future, his family will jump up and become a real top family, so he decisively chose the way of not offending anyone on either side, but he underestimated Ziqi's political consciousness and courage. Soon, a scream rang out outside. Immediately afterward, there were shouts of killing in the city. But it soon subsided, and the Wind King City regained its calm. Ziqi sat very calmly in her seat, looking at the nervous family heads below. Many people are already sweating, even if it is winter, of course, not all the heads of the family do not know what this white paper and black pen mean, they wait until the outside is calm, there is no way out, they know better than anyone that the royal court in the north cannot really treat these old nobles, after all, they have stood on the wrong team from the beginning, there is no old nobleman to help Yi Shuihan, Yi Shuihan can have today, basically the help of the three major forces behind it, of course, there are also Holy See forces, it can be said that in addition to helping the king of the south, at least maintain the situation of confrontation between the north and the south, so that they can have the possibility of survival, otherwise no one knows what fate they will face。

"When my cousin wanted you to ask for help. You are all high up in the sky, and you promise absolute allegiance in front of my father and king, and now when you see my king defeated, you want to be a grass on the wall, and tell you that it is my king's mercy, but Yi Shuihan is not merciful, he has a thousand and ten thousand reasons to kill you. My request is very simple, I want to raise an army of 100,000, but I don't have military spending, how did I come here, I can't find those ordinary people to borrow, what do you think? Ziqi saw that the time was almost up, so he said, in fact, many second-rate nobles have already begun to write, but they don't know how much to donate to get the guarantee of a royal family. One is the guarantee of the family's status, and it is also the guarantee of the lives of hundreds and thousands of people in the family.

Of the 100,000 troops, there are already 30,000, that is, only 70,000 troops, whether it is equipment, grain and grass, or war horses, and military expenses. At the price of 300 gold coins per soldier, 70,000 troops are 21 million military expenses. Fortunately, the barracks where the old nobles trained their soldiers were still there and had not been demolished, otherwise it would have been a big expense.

"Colleagues, we have fifty second-rate nobles and one hundred and seventy third-rate nobles here. Let's divide it together, and gather a total of 50 million gold coins for the second prince's military expenses, how about it?" a second-rate nobleman stood up and said.

"The boss of the Jin family, your family has always been in charge of business, so you can tell us how much our second-rate family has. How much does a third-rate family come out, everyone believes in you. All the folks in the township. Another second-rate family head said, everyone in the audience nodded, Ziqi also nodded, he thought of the number is 30 million gold coins, I didn't expect that the head of the Jin family is quite interesting, give more, that is, to ensure the safety of everyone here, but also so that Ziqi can train the troops with peace of mind, and wait until the political bureau sends the civil officials over, Ziqi can be mobilized at any time to participate in the final decisive battle.

"In this way, each of our fifty second-rate family heads prepares 500,000 gold coins, and none of your 170 third-rate families prepares 150,000 gold coins, what do you think?" After the Jin family's account is calculated, the 50 million military expenses are not only gathered, but also 500,000 more troops, and everyone knows that these 500,000 yuan has fallen into Ziqi's own private pocket, but Ziqi is not such a person.

"An extra 500,000 gold coins, take it out to improve the transportation facilities, it's not easy for everyone to do business, our army will treat you as half a month of hard work, help you clear all the bandits and rogues in the Wind King City, of course, at the same time help you build roads, it can be regarded as a thank you for your support to the royal family." Ziqi said. Everyone felt that if Ziqi's personal guard army could be dispatched to clear the road tyrants and bandits and expand the trade routes, their deal would be worth a lot.

"Then thank you to the second prince. All the heads of the house stood up and said.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'm disturbing the heads of the family, everyone please hand over the military expenses to the Military Administration Yuan in time, thank you for your hard work. Ziqi ordered people to put away the notes in their hands, and then decisively sent them off.

After solving the problem of military spending, Ziqi's whole person relaxed, and it was the first time for him to fight wits and courage with these nobles alone, and tonight he really understood the power of this group of old foxes. It's just a pity that the head of the second-rate family has become a victim, he doesn't want to make enemies as soon as he comes here, but he doesn't have a clear understanding of the ruthlessness of the army, he deals with the monster in the Warcraft Mountain Range, and naturally he doesn't have to worry about being scolded, but at the moment he is a little worried, Warcraft is not a human, unless it is a very high-level Warcraft has wisdom, but they are generally only in their own territory, as for revenge, out of the Warcraft Mountain Range, they will become a live target, and people are different, once they choose to retaliate, it will become particularly tricky, especially the nobles of the Wind Clan, the whole revenge will be unguardable。

"How is that second-rate family?" Ziqi asked as he lay back in his chair.

"All of them were destroyed, and they were destroyed by the broken wind when they escaped. But the children of their family must be everywhere, and the list of families is not in our hands. But there will be results soon, and Sister Pheasant has already gone to investigate. Brother, do you know where their family's warehouse is? It was built under the thatched pit, I don't know how disgusting it is, but although there are a lot of treasures, they are all from the treasury, and I came back without even looking at them, and the eyes of those political bureaus lit up. Yi Mei said.

"They know the treasury, don't know that real wealth needs to be operated for a long time, that second-rate family has a history of a hundred years, and the savings must be amazing, I am worried that there will be too many killings, and the uncertain revenge will be more and more, and then we will not be able to prevent it, and it will only be our own foundation that will be defeated. Ziqi said.

"But if we don't kill that family master and don't destroy that family, how can we have the military expenses to collect 100,000 troops so quickly, so brother, you can be relieved. When we reunite the Land of the Winds, I believe that those so-called revenge will turn into floating clouds in the face of absolute power. Yi Mei comforted.

"Do you know how to quench your thirst, we are only solving the urgent need, but it is useless to worry, you should rest early, tomorrow you will have a task, strangle all the bandits and thieves in the Wind King City, and return the people of the Wind King City to a calm and peaceful environment, I will also take people to repair the trade road, our finances are really a big problem." Headache, by the way, the pheasant is in your hands, and she will cooperate with you in fighting these bullies. Ziqi rubbed her temples and said. (To be continued......)
