Chapter 952: Leopis and his brother's armistice

Hiding in the screen, Styria, heard the officials arguing in the hall, and she whispered to her fiancé that the truce brought by the envoy was a majesticism, and that Leopis would definitely agree to the brother's armistice.

When Yan Tielong heard his fiancée's words, he couldn't help but whisper why his fiancée had such a judgment?

Lion Arya asked her fiancé about it, and she gave her fiancé three reasons.

The first is that high taxes lead to poverty, you must know that when the Leopis brothers did not govern the kingdom before the Kingdom of St. Regutt, the tax kingdom was only 20%, and the miscellaneous taxes of the nobles were only 30~40%, and ordinary people could still go to the restaurant to drink wine as long as they were hardworking.

However, after the Leopis brothers came to power, he directly raised the taxes of the kingdom to 50~60%, and the taxes of the nobles were as high as 70~80%, which caused the common people to even have problems eating, so it also caused many small-scale uprisings, but unfortunately those uprisings were suppressed.

Later, when the Greenskins invaded, Leo Pine settled in Shogert City to solve the Greenskins invasion.

Originally, Leopis wanted to collect a wave of taxes to solve the problem of financial emptiness, after all, solving the greenskin invasion had already consumed his finances almost, and he wanted to use the money collected to repair the city walls and cities;

However, after a period of tax collection, the tax collector only brought back a hundred gold coins, which were said to have been donated by a merchant.

Leopis was not angry or angry at the fact that the tax collector did not collect the tax, but calmly asked the tax collector why he could not collect the tax.

The official in charge of tax collection had no choice but to tell Leopais that the people's money had already been squeezed too hard by his brother and those old-fashioned nobles, and even he himself had a lot of money, and at the same time told Leopis that if it weren't for the princesses' incessant relief food, hundreds of thousands of people might have starved to death.

When Leopis had heard the words of the tax collector, he went to the countryside in disguise as a merchant to buy grain, and of course he did not buy a grain of grain, but ate a mixture of one-tenth of rye flour and nine-tenths of flour, and the bread was the worst bread he had ever tasted, but the mixed bread was the best food in the country.

Having personally experienced the hardships of ordinary peasants, Leopis issued a five-year tax exemption policy, but unfortunately it was stopped by many officials and honorary nobles, in their words, that is, no taxes were collected, then their army would be dispersed.

Leopais's scholars came up with a solution for military pay, which was a military field system, in which soldiers close to the army took turns to cultivate the fields, and of course all the harvest was used as military expenses.

The military salary was forcibly solved, but there was no money for repairing the city wall and the city, so the original five-year tax exemption policy for the common people was changed to three years.

Later, Yan Tielong ended his run in the Ice and Fire Continent and brought a share, which also greatly alleviated Leopais's financial crisis, otherwise the three-year tax exemption policy would be cancelled realistically.

And the new war is very expensive, so the people of the territory of Shougt City controlled by Leopis need to recuperate for a while, otherwise the ordinary people will probably not be able to stand it.

The second is the disgust with the civil war, after the Greenskin invasion, many local officers and soldiers, like Leopis, expressed that they did not want to fight a civil war, and the reason is very simple, because if there is a civil war, they are likely to face fighting their relatives and friends.

The third point is righteousness, you must know that Leopis returned to the kingdom of St. Reguet with righteousness, and the common people are also very supportive, if Leopis refuses his brother's proposal for an armistice, then the Leopis brothers will definitely attack Leopaine's righteousness, once the righteousness is lost, this is the biggest blow to Leopaine, so Lonte Arya judged that Leopis agreed to the armistice agreement.

After listening to his fiancée's story, Yan Tielong thinks that the third point of his fiancée's story is the key point; in Yan Tielong's eyes, this time he brought nearly 100 million gold coins to make Leopaith's tax-free policy continue, and at the same time, he can also use money to hire mercenaries to fight, but only money can't buy righteousness, and Leo Pine's own character can't give up the name of righteousness.

After half an hour of arguing, Leopis quieted everyone and then told his brother's messenger very earnestly that he was willing to sign an armistice.

When the chief bureaucrat of the hall heard that His Highness Leopis had made up his mind, one of them suggested to the messenger that the place of signing must be in their territory, otherwise it would prove that the other party was not sincere.

The envoy subconsciously refused, but he quickly reacted and said that he believed in the character of His Highness Leopis, but he couldn't trust the others, he thought that once the truce was signed in Shougert City, he was worried that his people would be beaten with black arrows, so he proposed that it would be better to go to them Tear Thunder City.

The officials and nobles who were loyal to Leopis objected to the emissary's proposal for the location of the contract, after all, they believed that the other party was the one who could not be trusted.

The nobles and officials in the hands of the emissary and Leopis quarreled over the place, and in the end, the two sides chose to sign a contract at the junction of Shougut City and Tearray City.

After the envoy left, Leopis continued to deal with government affairs with his subordinates, and only after Leopis finished dealing with it, did he ask Yan Tielong what was the matter with him coming to his side?

When Leopis saw ten boxes of nearly 100,000 pure natural gemstones, he was shocked and asked the same question as the first two sharing and utilization bosses, of course, Yan Tielong replied similarly to the previous two.

When Leopis learned that the Sword Master had been given 50,000 pure natural gems, and he could get nearly 100,000, he asked Yan Tielong if he would cause the Sword Saint to be dissatisfied, after all, Leopais's strength in supporting Yan Tielong's caravan was far inferior to that of the Sword Master.

Hearing Leopais' concern, Yan Tielong said that he also had his income in the 100,000 pure natural gems, so he didn't need to worry about what the Sword Master said, and at the same time, Yan Tielong also said that he would not personally lead his brothers to run the business this year.

Leopis heard that there was a share of Yan Tielong among the 100,000 pure natural gems, and he was very moved, after all, Leopai knew that the man in front of him was also a miser, and he could take out such a large amount of money to support him, which showed how deep the brotherhood was.

However, Leopis thought that Yan Tielong was not running a business with his brothers this year, which made him very puzzled, after all, with such a big benefit, why would the other party give up, so he asked Yan Tielong why he was not taking his brothers to run a business.

Yan Tielong said that this time the runner obtained huge benefits, but the risks were also very large, and he also expressed that he wanted to spend some time with his fiancée.

Qiang Ran Yan Tielong wants to live a two-person world with his fiancée, but his plan is to re-establish the Holy Tattoo Mercenary Group, and let the members do tasks to give him system points, after all, he has less than 10,000 points in the system now, if he doesn't have enough points, it will be bad if he encounters something that will use a lot of points in the future.

However, Leopis heard Yan Tielong's words, and he expressed envy that Yan Tielong could have time to live in the world of two, in his words, he now gave almost all of his time to this country, and he felt sorry for his three wives.

Hearing Leopais' envy and emotion, Yan Tielong didn't know what to say, after all, the other party was the lord of a country, and many things were involuntary.

On the side, Arya sighed and envied Leopais, she said that she couldn't be busy working all the time, but it would reduce work efficiency, so it was better to try to rest, maybe she could work more efficiently.

Leopis hears Lagenta's words, and he expresses his gratitude for Lagenta's proposal, and says that he will take some time out of his time with his three wives.

Yan Tielong and Leopis then talk about what happened to each of them, and soon it was evening, so Leo Pine invited Yan Tielong and Arya to dinner.

Yan Tielong did not refuse Leo Pine's invitation, after all, the other party is the lord of a country, and he must give the other party a face.

After enjoying the perfect meal, Yan Tielong and Arya said goodbye, and they went straight back to the Deep Water Tavern to clean up.

It was just that when Yan Tielong and Arya were cleaning the tavern for an hour, there was a knock on the door of the Deep Water Tavern.

Regarding the knock on the door, Yan Tielong opened the door of the tavern and impatiently told the other party that the tavern was not open today.

"Commander, it seems that we are not here at the right time!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Yan Tielong looked at the six in front of him, and found that the other party was all brothers who had walked out from the Holy Tattoo Mercenary Group, so he thought of something and directly invited the six in front of him into the tavern, and then handed over buckets, rags and other cleaning tools to the six brothers to help clean up.

With the help of the six brothers, in less than two hours, the interior of the tavern was completely renewed.

In order to thank the brothers for their help, Yan Tielong personally cooked food and wine to entertain the brothers who helped.

Of course, Yan Tielong also inquired with the six brothers about the siblings who served Leopis from the Sacred Tattoo Mercenary Regiment, as well as what had happened in the Kingdom of St. Regett recently.

In the face of Yan Tielong's inquiry, the six members who were once members of the Holy Emblem Mercenary Group all knew everything about serving Leopis and the Kingdom of Saint Reget.

Generally speaking, the siblings who served for Lacepine from the Holy Emblem Mercenary Regiment also had the Squadron Leader level, and the original Captain level had become the Legion Commander level.
