"This ......," Chris said after a moment's hesitation, "I want to transform my mansion into something more luxurious." ”

"yes, why don't the people of Illidaco pay their taxes and work hard?" Austin asked.

"Because, after paying taxes, you can't live. Chris said puzzled, not understanding why His Highness Austin would ask like this.

"Well, while I don't need to remodel my place to live in a luxurious way, I only need more money than the former lord. You don't have to doubt it, didn't you read my plan when you cleaned up the table anyway? Every item in it is extremely costly, and none of them can be compared to a luxurious palace. What should I do?" Austin said, glancing at Chris.

Hearing Austin's words, Chris's head began to sweat, but he didn't expect that after seeing the plan, His Royal Highness Austin would be able to detect it. In addition, the question that His Royal Highness Austin said also made Chris dumbfounded, it is true that these plans require a lot of investment, and after reading them at the time, he only thought of a bright future, but did not think about how to achieve it.

"The reason why the former lord levied such a heavy tax is only because, poor!" Austin said, not thinking that the ground was unclean, and sat down directly, "If everyone is very rich, even if some relatively minor taxes are levied, the wealth obtained will be a lot. You see, there is only such a piece of farmland now, and even if I collect half of it, it is only a little, but if this is an endless piece of farmland, even if I collect all of it, it is insignificant to the owner here. Austin said in an infectious voice.

Even Chris couldn't help but think about how spectacular the boundless farmland was. I thought about it. At this time, Austin suddenly asked.

"By the way, Chris, when did you join the government department?"

Chris didn't understand why His Highness would ask this question at this time, and after a little thought, he said, "It should be the beginning of this autumn, just a few months. ”

"It's so short, it's good, it's been an acolyte in just a few months, it's really capable, and it's a good connection. Austin said, and Chris wanted to explain, but instead of pursuing the matter, Austin asked. "You say, the matter of Illidako Village, our side is so goodwill, will they stop there?"

"Back to Your Highness, no matter how well Ilidako Village fought this battle, it is just a small village after all, and all we want is self-preservation, and it won't pose too much threat to us. Besides, the conditions we gave are also very good, so there should be no more trouble. Chris said.

Austin smiled and said, "You, you take it for granted. Not to mention the ambitious among them, but those who are willing to take up arms against the lords, will they believe in a policy of putting their lives and deaths in the hands of others?"

"This ...... After all, everyone rebelled because of the unreasonable taxation, and since it has been resolved, there is no need for you to die...... "Chris said worriedly.

"The church has set its sights on witches, and at this point, they don't want to do it themselves, but they put it on me, because the church doesn't want to cause too much trouble. Even the church finds it tricky, and it is very difficult to solve it simply!"

After listening to Chris's words, Austin smiled and said, and then, frowning slightly, the actions of the church here are a little puzzling, at least Austin feels that this matter in Illidaco Village is just a trouble for himself, and for the church, it should be nothing, why do they always feel a little jealous? Austin was a little puzzled, so he would check it later, put this question down, and continued.

"The reluctance of the Church to intervene in dealing with the village of Illidaco has been felt by the nobles who have taken refuge in the Church. Now all our forces are combined, and they are barely the size of the last time, and no one wants to fight. However, the village of Illidac has the power of a great victory, and even if there are calm people, I am afraid that there are also people who are overinflated. ”

Chris was a little puzzled, he didn't understand why Austin was saying this to himself, could it be that he saw something, so he simply stopped pretending to be anything, and asked: "Your Highness means that Illidac Village is going to continue to fight, and there are more chances of winning, right?"

Austin shook his head and said, "Where do they have any chance of winning, I just put the same size of army, the same march, the same weather, the same morale, everything is exactly the same last time, can they win? No, this is the gap." We are still the strength of a small town, with city lords, kingdoms, churches, etc., and there is no chance of victory. ”

"So, in this state, it's actually the best result for everyone to stop. Generally speaking, in addition to interests, nobles also have face. And their so-called face is to make up for the loss by small means. To put it simply, even if our policy is implemented smoothly, as long as they are still there, they will eventually persecute the people of Illidac Village in other aspects.

Even if it's all under my control, there aren't many people who are willing to obey me completely, and even if I force them to obey, it's not that simple, and there are still a lot of people staring at me, and once I compromise, there will be people who will intervene for various reasons. Instead of fighting wits and courage with them and cannibalizing each other, it is really better to eradicate them all in one go, saving time and worry. If it drags on for a long time, things in Ilidako Village may not be able to change something. ”

"That's the case, what would His Highness choose to do if he were the leader of Illidac Village?" Chris asked jokingly after listening to Austin's words.

"Well, let's not talk about the grand strategy, don't hit your own feet at that time, just say a small means. Austin didn't take this as a joke, but after thinking about it for a while, he said, "A new lord, no matter what, lacks dominance in the local area. Therefore, I will give some supplies, prisoners, and other war resources to a strong, short-sighted nobleman, preferably the irritable kind, to increase his strength. At the same time, after he accepted these resources, he spread rumors, such as some shady dealings in private, so that how would the lord and other nobles treat him? What would he do? With a little effort, you can do it. ”
