Warlock Royal Family

() Yan Xiao lost most of his wealth and important relationship with the mayor's son-in-law, but he was not too sad. Now his daughter and granddaughter are lovers of a big man in Austria. The commander of the capital cavalry sounds like a key position. ..

Instead, he and his son had a new future, and the dream of becoming a civil servant for many years finally came true.

After successfully assisting the Austrian army in raiding the camp of the rebels, both he and his son became full members of the Austrian Secrecy Bureau.

The peasants in the rebel army wanted to incite the miners to oppose the mine owners, and the mine owners wanted to murder the peasant leaders to seize leadership.

The two groups, who were extremely guarded against each other, faced the surprise attack of the Austrian army and were completely destroyed in less than half a day.

As the key figures, the two former salt lord father and son, the new civil servants were even received by the Austrian acting cardinal archbishop in Salzburg. The archbishop of Salzburg was once ten times more powerful.

Although he has accumulated a lot of wealth, when will the dignified Archbishop of Salzburg meet a salt lord?

And this member of the warlock royal family not only met them, but also talked to them.

This encounter made the two new civil servants almost too happy to walk when they resigned.

"It seems that he really regrets the career of the salt owl." Ladislaus was quite satisfied seeing the other party's expression of trepidation and happiness. "By the way, his daughter and son-in-law's family still have to be severely punished, especially the mayor's son-in-law. Although he got this position before the merger of Salzburg, he later swore allegiance to the Habsburg family to me. .In the roster of Austrian civil servants, having a public office means an unalterable obligation to the monarch. As an official under my rule, he dares to rebel, and there is no room for pardon."

Ladislaus's order was just right, he knew very well that the mother and daughter who could be used by Boss Silica to please him would not have no one willing to shelter, and the only ones who were really going to die were the mayor and maybe his son.

This level of hatred should not make his new subordinates unable to let go.

"Yes, Your Highness." Grand Priest Hohenzollern carefully wrote down Ladislaus' order, and his monarch was clarifying a rule of his own governance.A very important rule.

Once you enter the Austrian power system, you have to give a promise to the monarch when you get it. If you work hard, the monarch will never fulfill this promise. If you dare to betray, Ladislaus will take it back with interest. Everything you give.

This rule needs to be made known to every Austrian bureaucrat through the government officials. Unlike corruption that cannot be eradicated, the basic responsibilities of bureaucrats can indeed be continuously clarified and strengthened through severe punishment laws.

In Li Di's history, a barbaric half-orc tribe with 30 people once defeated a civilized empire with a population of [-] million.And enslaved that area for a long time.

Although there are countless despicable and hateful acts, it does have experience worth learning. It is a good attitude to learn from beasts to control beasts.

For example, the bureaucratic principles it upholds are indeed more sophisticated than those of the previous dynasty, which imagined that bureaucrats would not dare to corrupt. It is impossible to stop corruption, and no matter how strict the law is, it cannot do this.

Even pulling off the skin of a corrupt official and showing it to the public will not have long-term effect.

More important than controlling corruption is the severe punishment of bureaucrats and their families who abandon the land and change sides repeatedly. There is no accommodation to prevent them from running away or changing sides again.

So this time most of the Salzburg farmers and miners were pardoned.Of course, some peasant leaders will also die.

More than 1000 captured miners were demoted to miners. Although most of them did not support the rebellion, they were just coerced by the mad master. They will be enslaved even more cruelly in the mines belonging to the Austrian nobles.

Ladislaus rejected the nationalization or royalization of certain mines, arguing that such mines would be extremely inefficient if they were not effectively regulated.The so-called effective supervision has always required the most loyal and capable courtiers to implement, and this kind of courtiers is the scarcest resource.Even if there is, it cannot be used in this respect.

So Ladislaus would rather immediately public auction the 30-year mining rights and collect cash, a decision that made his courtiers extremely excited.

However, the operator of the auction was Machiavelli, so the nobles who temporarily joined the army did not benefit immediately, but this was enough to make them respect their princess even more.

Miners will become slaves to continue mining, and more than [-] farmers will become slaves, and they will know firsthand why serfdom and slavery are different.

On the construction site in Vienna, the difference between labor and slaves is not limited to the twelve-hour work system and the eighteen-hour work system.

These are details, of course, which Machiavelli will take care of.

Ladislaus had other concerns, and the palace of the Archbishop of Salzburg was not captured.

This stronghold called a palace is actually a fortress, which was built by Archbishop Anri 200 years ago in order to compete with the city council that still had a du li status at that time, and it is quite strong.

The farmers and miners all said that there were 300 relatively organized insurgents, plus more than [-] farmers and miners who fled in after being defeated, and now they are resolutely resisting there under the organization of a few senior priests.

After asking more farmers and miners, they couldn't figure out which priest of the gods organized the rebellion in the archbishop's palace. Several mine owners provided some information to survive, but their statements were also contradictory.

Of course, this kind of religious question is not a problem for the chaplain who accompanied the army. After summoning the highest-ranking chaplain to read the statement, these questions will be answered.

"Pastor Kessler, do you mean that there should be two churches of gods active there?" Ladislaus looked at the priest who served his ancestor god in front of him and asked, although there are still many dark priests in Austria , but the cost of mobilizing them is getting higher and higher as time goes by. Although he has not turned his face, Cyric naturally has some necessary measures to express his dissatisfaction.

"The one who really incited the peasants should be Her Majesty the Fire-haired Majesty's church. There are at least two mid-level priests who can use fifth-level divine magic. In the Archbishop's Palace, a mine owner named Naji Thompson should be the priest of His Majesty Blackhand. The five hundred miners under him retreated into the archbishop's palace with great combat effectiveness." The information provided by Pastor Odd-Kessler was different from the testimony of most of the captives.

"Currently there are close to 1000 people in that stronghold." Ladislaus didn't use interrogative sentences, not because he completely trusted the priest, but because he needed to show great respect for the priest in front of him, although the four red lines on the sleeve indicated that Kessler The priest should only be able to use level [-] divine arts, but he is one of the rare pure priests in the Great Wish Knight Church, without any warrior training, he has strong skills purely by virtue of divine grace.

The process by which he obtained divine grace was also miraculous. He and several other young people were accused of offering sacrifices to demons and were convicted. Then they were secretly thrown into the pool of ambition. The pool water melted.

Only he maintained his human body without any change, and after he walked out of the ambition room alive, he became a priest of the ambition knight.

Judging from the experience of other churches, such pure and adventurous pastors are generally the most promising.

Because gods most need to show that they are different from mortals, the more extraordinary they are, the more chances they have to receive divine grace.

Moreover, this pastor not only has adventures, but also has a strong self-motivation.

After summarizing the information, Pastor Kessler offered a plan on the spot, a plan that could reduce casualties of soldiers and speed up the fall of the fortress.

Since Pastor Kessler said that there are two groups of godly priests in the Archbishop's Palace instead of a monolithic one, Ladislaus will naturally try other solutions to prevent his soldiers from attacking the strong fortress.

Moreover, the pastor Kessler volunteered himself to carry out the plan based on his information.

After listening to the other party's suggestion, Ladislaus did not agree immediately, there is still a necessary process to go.

"It's too dangerous. The Church of His Majesty the Knights of Great Wishes is still in the early stages of development. I really can't explain if any accident happens to you." ", but he doesn't dare to be careless about his own beliefs. This is not Li Di's hometown where he can claim that "God is dead".

"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Highness. It's just that the Knight of Great Wishes bestowed upon me a divine favor, and I will never repay it with a hundred deaths. It is never a danger but an honor to serve him." Odd Kessler was indeed quite relaxed. "What's more, this task is really not difficult. How dare the traitors trapped in the lonely castle make things difficult for me, the envoy of the victorious army? Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely hand over the century-old cellar of the Archbishop of Salzburg to you in its entirety. .”

Ladislaus looked at the other party's confident eyes and nodded: "How many followers do you want?"

"It's enough for me to go alone. If I succeed, I don't need to use force. If I fail, I can also minimize the loss to His Majesty the Knight." Odd Kessler smiled. "It's actually a good thing to lose only one arrogant and stupid priest. It has improved the average level of His Majesty's subordinates."

"Haha, I believe that your existence has already raised the average level of priests of His Majesty the Grand Wish Knight." Although there is indeed a lot of confidence, by then this will be a contest between gods and priests. There are the most fanatics among the pastors, and this young pastor was able to make a joke of himself before he went on the dangerous mission of persuading him to surrender, which is indeed extraordinary.

After laughing together, Ladislaus personally sent Odd Kessler off, and did not part until he was close to the enemy's bow and arrow.
