Chapter 141: Misleading People's Children
The civil strife of the Kotler Empire is actually more serious than that of the Binis Empire, from the war with the Orc Empire to the present, although there are no complete statistics, but the people who lost their lives because of the war are also countless, and can create a scene of no one for hundreds or even thousands of miles in a big country, it can be seen how much damage the war has caused to the root of an empire, and the change of power in the Binis Empire is the same as that of the Kotler Empire, and the current situation is still a poor livelihood, the Kotler Empire is slightly luckier than the Binis Empire, and the existence of the regent of the ghost ugly makes the contemporary emperor Kahler have great convenience in management, the external suitability of the vassal empire, and at the same time the relationship between the orc empire and the Ron empire has made a strategic shift, with the ghost's excellent diplomatic ability, both empires have established good diplomatic relations with the Kotler Empire, especially to support the Ron Empire, won the defensive battle of the Abyss, so that the Kotler Empire has obtained a rich report.
Internally, the first to be unified was the army, the three imperial marshals followed the new emperor Kahler, and then there was the ghost ugly, the post-military genius, while suppressing the rebel forces at home, it also began to compress the scope of activities of the temple, under the external loosening and internal tightness, the empire also embarked on the regular, many of the orders issued by the ghost are all the most suitable for the national conditions of the Kotler Empire, especially the establishment of military merits, to give slaves a chance to restore their freedom, and then to reclaim farmland, in exchange for military merits, in just one spring, thousands of hectares of fertile land, although the harvest is average, but there is no starvation to death, the new emperor reduced agricultural taxes, This is already a great reward for the slaves who have become ordinary people, plus the state has promulgated the law of increasing the number of militia reservists, and now on the border of the Kotler Empire, you can see a lot of militiamen with hoes, they are all recruits with simple training, although they do not have much combat effectiveness, but they are still very qualified to serve as sentry posts, and this is also a sign of the restoration of the Kotler Empire.
The purpose of leaving the ghost in the Kotler Empire is very simple, that is, to find a way to solve the internal problems of the empire from the outside.
"What about the character of these joint lords?" The ghost suddenly asked, the two princes shook their heads, and Josephine took the lead and said: "I don't know, in the honor guard, I have only one purpose, that is, to control this team, and the reception of the provincial lord does not need our honor guard, basically there is no contact, so Your Highness, I don't know the character of these people, but we can go and investigate." ”
On the other side, Jonny shook his head and said: "Your Highness, I have been in contact with these lords, there are good and bad, I can't tell the difference for a moment, the people in the officialdom, showing their true colors, is definitely the most unwise choice, so I can't see through their masks." The ghost ugly continued to ask, "Jonny, you were pushed to the front of the stage, did these lords give you any gifts?"
"This ...... This is inevitable, after all, in their opinion, I have a better chance of inheriting the throne. Jonny's face changed, and finally told the truth, and Josephine next to him pouted and said, "I'm still the crown prince, but no one has given me a gift...... He didn't think much about the words of these two brothers, and he didn't want to interfere more, he studied Johnny's information, and it was rumored that he was a good woman, it was said that there were groups of wives and concubines in his mansion, and there were countless countries in the sky, even more than King Arthur, and the gifts given by these ministers were generally related to this, and the slavery system in the Binis Empire had not been abolished, so the slaves in the Three Princes' Mansion were much more than the slaves of all the remaining princes and princesses combined, and most of these slaves were sent by the ministers and lords below.
As for Josephine, although he has the name of the crown prince, he has not been reused after all, bribing him is a waste of resources, but Josephine just said that he is concentrating on cultivation in the honor guard, and the influence of external objects on him is not very great.
"This is normal, but these gifts from the lords are all very normal?" Ghost Ugly asked, and Johnny stared for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, this one can't be remembered, it's too much." ”
"Understood, indeed, this thing comes and goes, I'm afraid you can't even remember these people, reasonable, reasonable, hahaha......" After the ghost clown finished speaking, he drew a big cross on the scroll, which means that the applications of these provinces were not approved, the two princes were stunned, and they didn't understand what was going on, Josephine was the first to say: "Your Royal Highness the ghost ugly, what's going on, if this is not approved, then what if the eastern provinces make trouble?" The ghost ugly was taking the scroll handed over by Yinyue, and then picked up the pen and was about to write something, when he smiled indifferently after listening to it and said: "Since it is an uncertain thing, it is natural to deny it, without full certainty, this king will definitely not agree to the content of any document." ”
"But Your Highness, in this way, isn't the empire equivalent of letting go?How to deal with the riots and wars, and send troops to suppress them?" Jonny asked with some concern on his face, and the ghost ugly shook his head slightly and said: "These things are decrees, we are the real formulators, the people below, but the executors, I just said, absolute hegemony, that's what it means, whether it's right or not, the executor has no chance to bargain, even if it's wrong, you have to wait for the wrong result to come out, so can the two princes understand?"
It would be strange if they could understand it, so the two princes shook their heads for a while, and they understood the truth in words, but if they really did this, the empire would probably not be far from overthrowing.
The ghost clown quickly wrote the scroll in front of him full, and then rolled up the scroll with a wave of his hand, tied it with the golden rope and put it aside, the content of it, the two princes did not see it too clearly, but it seemed to have nothing to do with this disaster relief, after opening the second scroll, the ghost clown paused and then looked at the side, and after determining the content inside, he turned his head and asked Josephine: "Three thousand cavalry, how many days can it be suppressed?"
"This ...... Depending on where to punish, rebellions in the southern frontiers have always been a stubborn disease of the Empire, and those rebels in the mountains are particularly difficult to exterminate, Your Highness may not know something, Luna...... Madam, once led the Moyu Cavalry Regiment to suppress it, it was effective, but it was easy to resurge, the casualties on both sides of the war were not small, they occupied the geographical advantage, and the chaotic people secretly sent intelligence, and it was difficult to catch it. Josephine's face was embarrassed, but the ghost and ugly asked with a straight face: "Answer the king's question, three thousand, how many days?"
"This ...... If it is the strength of the troops written in the paperwork, the honor guard will set off today, and half a month should be enough. ”
"Okay, half a month, find someone who can talk and have courage, recruit An!"
"My lord, are you confident?" Barry asked with some hesitation, the ghost ugly shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I will be eliminated in the first round, I really haven't minted anything, my alchemy direction is for war, this really hasn't been dealt with, but you can try it." After speaking, the ghost ugly looked at the schedule, which is roughly divided into knockout rounds and finals, needless to say, the audition is needless to say, and now being able to participate in such a grand event in the territory ruled by the Golden Dwarf King is an affirmation of strength in itself, so what the ghost can think of is that his opponents are not only many, but also too strong.
"My lord, this schedule adds up to about a month, forty days, will it delay our time?" Barry knew that the ghost must return to the holy capital as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be like, I dare not imagine, and the lord cares very much about His Majesty Kahler, whether it is a monarch or a minister, or a friend, the two of them have supported each other to the present, and the ghost will definitely not drag on here for too long.
"This is not in a hurry, now Calle is doing well in the Holy Capital, before the Guifan Society wanted to seize power, but was discovered by the Franks, the matter was revealed, and a large number of people were cleaned up, as long as Amrok is still in the Holy Capital, Calle is safe, and the temple has released a good signal this time, so we don't have to worry too much for the time being. There was a lot of information contained in this paragraph, and Barry couldn't react for a while, but he understood what Ghost Ugly said next.
"The defeat of the 10th Guards Regiment is an opportunity. The ghost ugly showed a treacherous smile, Barry knew that when the ghost returned to the holy capital, I am afraid that a purge would be inevitable, and the ghost ugly lord has always had the support of His Majesty the Emperor, in this case, the depth of the purge may not be known if it will hurt the country.
A group of people led by the dwarves to the scene of the competition, saw the dwarves with hammers and shovels in front of them randomly choose a hole to enter, the ghost ugly looked at the rules again, and then understood that they were collecting raw materials, of course, the materials they collected are also the most basic black iron ore, which is recognized by all races on the continent as a casting ore, the competition is from the beginning of the collection, collection, smelting, casting, competition, the whole process seems very simple, but what weapons you want to do, how much material to use, how much to consume are all subject to strict calculation, of course, the ghost ugly thinks more, those dwarf masters think less, he has not entered the mine yet, I saw a dwarf carrying a large bag of ore behind him, and watched everyone leave the mine with a smug face.
The dwarves after that seem to behave like this, which makes the ghost ugly feel a little ridiculous, but looking back at the last dwarf is actually back, it seems that he has to do a heavy weapon, otherwise he will not need so much ore, and when it is the turn of the ghost ugly, he went in empty-handed, and the inside is dim and almost lightless, the ghost ugly then touched the surrounding cave wall, cold and abnormal, making people feel depressed, of course, mainly because the height of the hole is not enough, so the ghost ugly is to slightly hold his head to come in, the ghost ugly first closed his eyes to adapt to the darkness, and then from the previous dwarf chiseled traces can see that the black iron content here is surprisingly high, it seems that a piece of ore at hand, all contain almost the same amount of black iron.
"The territory of the Golden Dwarf King is really extraordinary, this black iron deposit has exceeded the mineral deposits of the empire's large ore veins, and it is also thanks to this that the dwarven casting technique can be used for a long time. The ghost ugly sighed, and then the single edge in his hand was formed, and he slashed twice on the cave wall, and suddenly the pebbles flew and roared, and the space ring in the ghost ugly's hand waved directly, and the ore that could be seen in front of him was swept away by him, and then he went out with a very pure small ore in his hand, and this ore is not big, only the size of two fists, even if it is the entire black iron embryo, it is not even a dagger that can be made, and the ghost ugly took such a little bit in and out, which made many people doubt, but this is in the game after all, even if you want to pick it up, you have to wait until the time of the competition to pick, and it didn't take a while, some people have completely forgotten what the ghost did before.
