Chapter 140: Absolute
"Tell me, what are these three things?" After returning to the post house, Yinyue has been pestering the ghost and ugly, wanting to dig out these three things, but she didn't expect the ghost to be silent, and she didn't say a word, just as Yinyue was about to use lynching to prepare for the ghost to confess, several carriages came outside the post house.
After the soldiers at the door were interrogated and inspected, they brought the leader in, and the ghost ugly was sitting in the hall, and when he saw the person who came, he couldn't help but feel a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him, but he just felt that this face seemed to have appeared somewhere, but the person behind this person knew the ghost ugly, one of the original twelve knights, and assisted the ghost ugly to complete the seal of the ruins demon cave, this big knight seemed to have a lot of respect for the person in front of him, although Gardel was just a soldier now, but why he could suddenly get the leadership of the honor guard, which Yinyue and the ghost ugly had specially discussedJudging from the situation at the time, Gardel should have received some kind of authorization, otherwise on the national border, why didn't this big knight come out, it was obviously temporarily arranged outside the ruins demon cave, then the young man in front of him was very likely to be the one who arranged it.
"Josephine Binis has seen His Royal Highness the Regent!" As soon as the words came out, the ghost ugly already understood, the person who came turned out to be Josephine, the crown prince of the Binis Empire, Josephine had short red hair, round eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, a little stubble on the chin, a strong body, the robe seemed to be torn at any time, and there were two faint scars on the face, which added to the fierce atmosphere, but this crown prince is now respectful, the ghost ugly did not dare to slack off, and directly helped him up, this crown prince is rumored to be not the favor of Emperor Arthur, otherwise he would not be put in the honor guard as a regiment leader, but the ghost knows that Arthur's plan is not something that ordinary people can see through, Naturally, everyone doesn't think that a prince who has been demoted to the honor guard can have much ability, even if there is no force, after all, there is courage and no strategy, naturally no one will move this down-and-out crown prince, those princes and princesses who please are the objects of their key support, since King Arthur has been controlled, then the next step is to control his descendants, which is naturally dominated by the third prince Johnny, but isn't this handsome young man next to Josephine exactly the third prince?
It seems that the planning of the temple has not been counted by King Arthur after all, the two princes are bright and dark, but their hearts have never deviated from the royal family of Binis, and the arrival of the two princes naturally means that the first thing taught by King Arthur is about to begin.
"King Arthur told me that he was alone, but I didn't expect the two princes to come over, so it's okay, and it also saves the king trouble, and the things are all brought?" Josephine nodded and waved back and said, "All move in!" The voice fell, the soldiers outside the post house began to move a huge box from the carriage, and then it was directly placed in the hall of the post house, everyone counted curiously, there were nearly twenty boxes, see those soldiers moved hard, I don't know what is inside, some guess it is a treasure, some say it is a gold coin, and some people say that this box is a beautiful woman, and I don't know how this person came up with it.
The table of the ghost clown sent people to the post house together, and then let people open the first box, at this time people found that it was actually full of scrolls, this dense scroll a box has almost exceeded a hundred, these more than 20 boxes are at least more than two thousand, look at the style of those scrolls, they are actually the control scrolls of the Binis Empire, and they are all tied with various ropes, the first box that the ghost ugly made all the scrolls in the box are tied with golden ropes, the ghost ugly asked the two highnesses to sit on both sides, and then asked a soldier to take a scroll, after unwrapping the golden knot, the ghost ugly did not open it immediately, but looked at the two princes next to him with inquiring eyes, and the eldest prince Josephine smiled and said, "Your Highness, what's the matter, do you still have any questions?"
And the third prince Jonny smiled slightly and said, "If Your Highness has concerns, we brothers can wait." Joseph nodded, but the ghost ugly smiled slightly and opened the scroll and spread it on the table, the words on it were dense, but the three of them quickly understood, this is a joint scroll, the content of which is basically to ask the empire to allocate funds for disaster relief in the east, it is said that the people who starved to death are no longer a few, many lords have fled the territory, and now it is about to be winter, the struggle between the imperial power and the divine power has a greater impact on the people, many crops are trampled before they have time to harvest, and the total grain production in the eastern part of the empire has reached the lowest level in history, therefore, several lords who are still holding on to the east have jointly signed a letterin the hope of obtaining funds for disaster relief.
"The eastern part of the Binis Empire should be a plain, right?" The ghost ordered someone to take the map, the other two princes nodded, and the third prince Jonny explained: "The east is the grain production area of the empire, and its grain harvest can account for one-fifth of the empire. ”
The ghost nodded, this Jonny's conversation was very elegant and very clear, but Josephine on the side said with a little embarrassed face: "It's just some chaotic people, how can you send them money, I think it's almost the same to send food, if you can't do it, just send some clothes, if you can't do it, if you are afraid of the cold, where will you go, and you still need to be so troublesome?"
For the crown prince's words, the ghost and Jonny looked at each other and smiled, and the third prince explained: "Big brother, sending food is just a symptom but not a cure, and food can't be distributed all the time, otherwise, we can't afford to delay it at all, and the loss and manpower in this process also need to consume a lot of ......" "You say it's useless, can the gold coins be eaten in that place?"
This is the truth, Jonny wanted to say something but was stopped by the ghost, and then the ghost turned his head and asked, "Your Highness Joseph, do you think it is appropriate to send food?"
"Isn't it? The corruption of the bureaucracy, I think Jonny knows better than me, I'm afraid that all this money is given to the lord, and the people can't get a copper coin, and in the end the empire is still not stable, so it is better to send food, distribute relief food, set up more meals, and then throw a handful of sand into the rice. ”
Throwing sand?
The ghost and Jonny were stunned, and the eyes that looked at Joseph were full of doubts, and Joseph said a little reasonably: "What, is there anything wrong?" The ghost clown and Jonny nodded to indicate that it was inappropriate, but the ghost clown quickly reacted and said approvingly: " It's really a good way, but judging from the map, it's not realistic to transport food, but you can use local materials, it's late autumn, the eastern part of the Binis Empire should be relatively warm, according to this season, there should be some edible wild food in the eastern part of the empire, of course, this is a drop in the bucket, otherwise there will be no starvation to death, speaking of which, what is the situation of those lords who escaped?"
"It should be unbearable, so let's leave, these lords are still in the statistics, if this disaster passes, I believe they can come back. Jonny said with some rejoicing, but the ghost clown shook his head very resolutely and said: "You can't be concentric with the empire, this kind of lord doesn't want it, the statistics will continue, but those who enter the list will be abolished the title of lord, all family property will be confiscated into the treasury, and in terms of provinces, Thorn City will send another management official to receive it, and all lords who have escaped from their own territory will be deemed to have automatically given up their lord rights, this should be Chapter 2 of the Binis Imperial Code: The Sixth Decree of the Monarch and Minister, I believe the two should also know this, right?"
The two princes couldn't help blushing, the two of them really hadn't studied the code of the Thanis Empire, Josephine was fast, and directly called an entourage to whisper a few words, the entourage went back quickly, and a heavy book was placed in front of the eldest prince, and when the cover was opened, the eldest prince found the sixth decree of the second chapter, and found that the ghost ugly said word for word, and the two princes saw the shock in each other's eyes at a glance, and their attitude towards the ghost and ugly began to become more and more respectful.
"So, how does His Highness the Ghost Clown think this matter should be handled?" Jonny asked with a respectful face, and the Ghost Clown put away the scroll and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to solve, as long as the reported lord opens a warehouse and releases grain, the matter can be solved, as for how to persuade or coerce them, that is what the two of them have to think about, the Kotler Empire has just dealt with the same example before, but my style is more extreme, and it should not be suitable for the Binis Empire." ”
After Jonny nodded, he said with a hint of worry on his face: "Your Highness doesn't know anything, this order, I'm afraid it's not easy to order, the forces behind these lords are intertwined, and the situation in the empire has just stabilized, so it really shouldn't be a big deal." The ghost shook his head resolutely and said: "No, no, no, No, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, please don't ignore a problem, this empire is still managed by the Binis Empire family, if this can't be done, I'm afraid the Binness Empire should really change its name, maybe it's not bad to call it the Winston Empire." ”
"Your Highness laughed, the Winston Province of the Kotler Empire is the province of Lord Bakari, and the Winston War Horse is what the Binis Empire has always looked forward to, and isn't the Winston Province also not the opponent of His Highness?" ”
Absolute hegemony!
