Chapter 2073: : The nobles of the Feilong Kingdom react to the king

At around ten o'clock in the morning on February 15, 1185, Xingyu, the Bai family, the former golden family in the capital of the Feilong King, had just started a banquet. The Bai family did not entertain important guests at this banquet, but they entertained important members of their own family and the Bai family. Gloves.

During the banquet, all the guests expressed concern about what happened in the royal capital recently. After all, the Dragon Nest, a very important military fortress in the royal capital, was bombed by Mo Ni's Lanyi family. This also led to the royal family now eyeing these families. , if the fortress makes a mistake, it will end like the Pawnee family did yesterday.

The members of the Bai family talked about the Poni family yesterday. Before the princes seized the throne in Feilong Kingdom, they were just ordinary nobles. Their background could not be compared with that of the declining Bai family. However, after the princes seized the throne, the old king saw that Due to the talents of the head of the Bonny family, he quickly rose from an ordinary baron to an honorary marquis, and took control of the finances.

After the head of the Bonny family became the Minister of Finance, he strictly implemented the investment project of the eldest princess. For a time, they could be said to have become a top family. After all, as long as he agreed to purchase the materials, the family could expand the family with the help of the royal family. This also led to a large number of nobles and various The kind family gave gifts, which made the Poni family surrounded.

The head of the Boni family was principled, so all the weak families and nobles refused, and even attached great importance to the material requirements. This made many nobles and families hate the Boni family.

For example, the Bai family does not want to see the Poni family, because now the Bai family is also involved in the building materials business, but they have never won a bid.

However, the Bai family does not know that the reason why their family did not win the bid is because important members of their family do business with the Holy Pattern Guild, so their family was excluded. After all, the Bai family has re-emerged in the Feilong Kingdom with the help of the Holy Pattern Guild. With such a trend, the royal family cannot let the Bai family become the golden family and threaten the royal family, just like King Longrui Effie now feels that the Holy Pattern Union has threatened the royal family and suppresses it.

Returning to the topic of the Patriarch of the Poni Family, since the Patriarch of the Poni Family attended a special banquet of the King half a month ago, he has been very anxious, because at that banquet the King had already stated his stance on suppressing the consciousness of the Holy Pattern Union. At that time, he was one of the few Stand up more and oppose it. In the words of the Finance Minister, the current overall income and expenditure of the Feilong Kingdom are not proportional. Without the support of the banks affiliated with the Holy Pattern Union, the kingdom's finances would have collapsed long ago.

However, King Long Ruide was perfunctory with him at that time, which also prevented the Patriarch of the Pony family from reporting to Princess Long Rias, otherwise it would have been a different situation.

What makes the Patriarch of the Boni family even more unaware is that after he made a name for the Holy Pattern Union, it was a very bad decision to deal with the Holy Pattern Union now, King Long Ruide had already positioned him as an untrustworthy person, so when the Dragon Nest was After the explosions and other incidents, the Pony family was also among those liquidated by King Long Ruide.

King Longruide's act of liquidating the ministers who had contributed a lot naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the old nobles, but the dissatisfaction was also used in that way, because now the legion controlled by King Longruide has reached the level of crushing the nobles in the kingdom. After all, Since the death of the old kingdom, Princess Long Rias and King Long Ruide have continuously strengthened the kingdom's army to prevent the kingdom's nobles from uniting to the side of the Qing Dynasty.

Now the members of the Bai family banquet are strongly dissatisfied with the king's suppression of the old nobles, but what they are concerned about now is that the king redefined various businesses yesterday, and most members of the family want to compete for a share of it, and they can even pay some price. accept.

During the banquet, everyone gradually tended to obtain business cooperation from the royal family. However, at noon, a member of the Bai family hurriedly arrived from outside. He was the new representative of the green-skinned mainland new city. It can be said that the young people of the Bai family now all Being predominantly green-skinned is like the old school and the innovative school in the family.

Representatives of the Bai family's reform faction rushed back to the family to express to the current patriarch that they would not cooperate with the royal family. In the words of representatives, once members of the conservative faction cooperate with the royal family, the reform faction will separate from the conservative faction.

The head of the Bai family is very dissatisfied with the reformist faction's words that they will separate the family once they cooperate with the royal family. Of course, he is even more dissatisfied with the fact that the reformist faction has more and more say in the family. However, there is no way. After all, the conservative faction can be said to be supported by the reformist faction. .

Naturally, the conservatives did not want to be supported forever, so they ended the banquet and began to talk about whether to listen to the reformists.

In fact, the reason why the Reformists do not allow family disciples to participate in royal business is because their leaders have seen that the Bai family's power has reached the bottom line of the royal family. Once the Bai family crosses that bottom line, they will become the next Holy Pattern Union. .

Unfortunately, the reformers didn't know that the conservative faction of the family wanted to cooperate with the royal family, which also led to the Bai family holding up a large amount of assets. It took more than ten years for them to get back part of the funds.

Compared to the Bai family's conservative choice of queuing up, other families reacted similarly to the Bai family. Of course, there are also nobles who are worried about being liquidated. Their choice is to transfer their assets to the border. Once the royal family wants to take action against them, they will immediately leave the Feilong Kingdom.

At this time, the largest prison in the royal capital had been taken over by the Holy Mark Guild. The number of guards in the prison had increased significantly, and the natural magic alarm and induction magic were also being strengthened.

In a somewhat luxurious cell in the prison, a man looked at the newspaper that had just been delivered. When he saw the content of the newspaper that the royal family had decided to re-select business partners, he couldn't help but frown, because he knew very well. The Feilong Kingdom is currently facing financial problems. At the same time, it is also known that the focus of the Feilong Kingdom is to annex the Kingdom of St. Madern. Logically speaking, His Highness the King should give up the annexation of the Kingdom of St. Madern and continue to recuperate.

The man soon thought of a possibility. This possibility is that His Royal Highness has not given up on annexing the Kingdom of St. Martin. The kingdom has re-selected business partners this time because it is using nobles who are qualified to cooperate with the royal family. By then, all the resources and money invested by the nobles will be All of them will be used to annex the Kingdom of Saint Madre. When the time comes, the nobles of the kingdom will be deceived, and they will be helpless. After all, the Feilong Kingdom has been weakened and cannot compete with the king.

The man who had already figured out the deception the king wanted to use to get funds from the nobles to the prison cell couldn't help but sigh at the king's series of unwise choices, and he was the patriarch of the Bonny family, the former finance minister.

Just as the Patriarch of the Bonny family was sighing at the autumn harvest, the door of the cell was opened, and the person who entered the cell was actually the royal steward. On behalf of the king, he gave the former finance minister two choices. The first one was to continue to be aloof and not choose to help the king manage the finances. Then he chooses to die, but in the future history he will become a corrupt man who is too embarrassed to commit suicide; and the second choice is to serve the king, so that he will not only avoid death, but even sit on the position of prime minister.

However, the Patriarch of the Boni family knew very well that the so-called prime minister was just a name, and when he could be replaced or was no longer useful, that would be the day he died.

After the Patriarch of the Boni family considered a group, he compromised because now he had no choice. After all, threatening the king with death would not work at all, and he had given up on the king's future.

After hearing the compromise of the Patriarch of the Pawnee family, the royal steward was very satisfied, so he clapped his hands, and then a large group of people entered the prison. They brought a large number of account books for the Pawnee family to handle.

When the Patriarch of the Bonny family saw that the royal steward had no intention of letting him leave, he couldn't help but frown. After all, he thought that if he compromised, the king would let him out of prison, and he would just let him settle accounts.

After thinking about it for a while, the patriarch of the Pony family thought that the scene in front of him was a test from the king, so he began to calculate the ledger.

About six hours later, the patriarch of the Poni family became more and more surprised, because the number of accounts he handled was very large, which made him suspicious of so many funds from the king. After all, the treasury he controlled confirmed that there was some wealth, but those The wealth is only the expenses of the kingdom for three months.

It didn't take long for the Patriarch of the Bonny family to find out from the prison soldiers who were carrying the account books that the wealth recorded in these account books was true, and that the wealth was willingly contributed by the king's nobles, big and small.

When he learned that the nobles of all sizes contributed voluntarily, the patriarch of the Poni family was the first to not believe that it was selfless. After all, he knew very well the virtues of the nobles of the kingdom.

Soon, the Patriarch of the Boni family wanted King Long Ruide to get so much wealth from the nobles in a short period of time. He should take the Kingdom’s train, and UU Reading www.uukanshcom finally transferred the old kingdom from the nobles. The territory they took back was resold to the nobles. After all, in his eyes, it was impossible to get so much wealth at once except from this business.

The patriarch of the Boni family only predicted a small part of it. King Long Ruide could raise so much wealth at once. He did sell the land, but all the land sold was right. It is now the Kingdom of Saint Madre, and there is still a large part of the wealth. It can be said that they continue to cooperate with the nobles on infrastructure projects in the name of the royal family.

However, in the infrastructure project that King Longreed cooperated with the nobles, the king would not invest a penny in the infrastructure project, and all the money would be provided by the nobles. After the nobles built the infrastructure, the king would use 30% of the profits. Payment is made, for example, the cost of building a section of road is one hundred gold coins. After the project is completed, the king will give the nobles one hundred and thirty gold coins.

But it is a pity that the nobles who cooperated with the king did not know that Queen Longlias would take over the contract signed by her brother and the nobles in the near future. However, the queen said that she did not have that much money, so the queen paid the expenses for the use of infrastructure to the nobles. It took the nobles more than ten years, or even decades, to recover the cost and stabilize the security issues in some areas.

After all, if there is a problem with public security, merchants will not take the roads and bridges that the nobles are responsible for collecting taxes. Of course, after the nobles receive the rewards stipulated in the contract, they will lose the right to manage bridges and roads and collect taxes.
