Warlock Royal Family

Before dawn, the diligent early-rising businessmen on the Danube saw someone as diligent as them, and two sailing boats of the Austrian River Army left the port in boats.

Some of those on board wore cloaks embroidered with a winged fish, said to have been designed by His Royal Highness Ladislaus-Habsburg himself.

"Flying fish suit" is the symbol of the Intelligence Bureau, and its appearance on the river usually means an action against smuggling, so many law-abiding businessmen cheered for them.

Only when smugglers can be hit can legitimate taxpayers be competitive enough to compete with them.

Boss Silica was also on board, and he started working immediately when he returned to Vienna. [

But this time it’s not about cracking down on smuggling. The large-scale waterway smuggling activities in Vienna are at their lowest point recently. The river army camp on Danube Island and the sluice gate on the north side are very tricky. The small shrimps on land are not worth dealing with Sirica boss.

To fill up the vacancies, Leng formed a small team, and the boss of Silica handed over all these tasks to his deputy, and he took a dozen elites to do more important work, such as setting up a "new drug testing center" overseas.

Ladislaus has a great desire for new sources of income. Sirika, as an absolute confidant of the monarch, can know that Ladislaus wants to build a standing army of 5000 to [-], and the militia in the capital will also be as cold as [-] more than one person.

Just this military expenditure and the reimbursement of lion expenses to the mages have consumed almost all the seizures of Venice and Florence, not to mention that Ladislaus has to build churches for Barbarossa everywhere and reclaim water on the north bank of the Danube River. land.

So Boss Silica knows that he has a great responsibility.

However, because Jones was paralyzed trying to test the power of his new weapon with his hands, which delayed the enchantment of Boss Sirika's dagger, he set off two days later than expected.

"This dagger is probably worth a hundred, no, two hundred acres of land." An Austrian intelligence team member held Sirika's new weapon in both hands and worshiped.

There is a crystal clear case on the dark green blade.A weapon that would make Jones' fingers uncomfortable for several days after being scratched was an absolute danger to low-level wanderers.

Boss Silica was very taboo to his subordinates to look at their weapons when he was a smuggler. Some people even lost their lives because of this, but now he is an Austrian civil servant. He doesn't want his subordinates to look at his new equipment at all disgusted.

In the past, his authority relied entirely on his own force and sense of oppression, but now Ladislaus is the guarantee of his power.Let your subordinates know about the extraordinary weapons that are not dangerous at all.

"I think two hundred acres is worth at least five hundred acres. It's the best irrigated land on the North Shore!" Sirica's boss felt a headache at this moment, and decided to wait a while before teaching them mathematics.

Still different from the past, the leader of the smuggler must of course be able to figure out the accounts, and the more confused the other subordinates are when it comes to numbers, the better.

As the deputy director of the Austrian Intelligence Agency, he had to popularize science for his subordinates, because Ladislaus introduced literacy and counting into the assessment standards for military officers and civil servants.

A school of "sensitivity" evaluation.It is also an important knowledge point for intelligence personnel.

Boss Silica's phalanx, which mainly recruited subordinates from among the scum, had produced bad results at this time, and now he was having a headache for a large number of subordinates who felt sick and dizzy after reading the book.

But not everyone is unmotivated. Kailar is very interested in participating in the study organized by the Bureau of Secrecy. He is illiterate because he has not had the opportunity to study.

It's just that it's not easy to study on the boat, and he is also chatting with his companions.

"I have never been to the north bank, but this time I bought five acres of irrigated land on the south bank and rented it to nearby farmers. The five acres of land cost 950 talers in total. The newly reclaimed irrigated land on the north bank is better than the best irrigated land on the south bank. Reculinary land is [-]% cheaper, and if it is [-] acres, it is [-] to [-] talers, and the dagger of the deputy director should be worth [-] talers. , That’s six or seven hundred acres of fertile land.”

The boss of Silica has a higher opinion of Kailar's ability, he is indeed a talent to be made, [

It's just that the vision is not wide enough after all.The pricing of this weapon is not too conservative. Ladislaus gave an estimate of 1 talers for this dagger with 25 physical damage and 18 save difficulty of [-].

Although it is best not to see blood in intelligence work, the boss of Silica is more or less looking forward to using this weapon that is not what it used to be.

Although this weapon and Jones's only consumed less than 20.00% of the poison dose of Officer Hohenzollern, this poison obviously cannot be completely used up.

After it drops to a certain amount, it cannot be processed.

From Sirika's boss's point of view, another such processing must be supplemented.

18 thalers are really a great reward, but [-] thalers are enough to make the subordinates dizzy.

"One hundred thousand thalers, one hundred thousand thalers." After hearing this number, several people fell into a state of dementia.

But soon they returned Sirika's boss's weapon. After all, this kind of thing was too far away from them, and what Kailar said made them more concerned.

"Captain Kailar. When will you get married this time?" Kailar's salary is a little higher than most people, but he can't afford the top quality land in the capital circle. This time When he went to Central Italy, he carried back the five acres of irrigated land by himself.

He killed a Florentine mage, and the robe he stripped off was bought by a Viennese mage for a thousand talers.

War is wonderful, if you can get through it.

"I was going to get married soon. A priest of His Majesty the Grand Wish Knight has contacted me with several girls, but this is going to be a battle again." There are five acres of land in the capital, and he is a mid-level officer. These two advantages make Kai Although Lal has the disadvantage of being an Italian outsider, it is not difficult to find a daughter of a well-educated and well-off family.

"But can't we all get the land on the north bank? If you buy the land on the south bank, it will be difficult to manage in the future."

"How easy is it to dig ditches? The paddy fields dug out must first be distributed to the families of the war dead. We don't know when it will be distributed."

The soldiers chattered and talked, and the land distribution after retiring was also one of the things they were most concerned about.

Although there are many rivers and rivers flowing through it, most of Austria's land is dry land dependent on the sky.There are very few irrigated lands that can guarantee income from droughts and floods. Purchasing land along the river through the state machine and transforming it into paddy fields can greatly increase the population. In the long run, it is one of the most important affairs of a country and a great policy of a nation for thousands of years.

This is of course not an easy matter.It is not surprising that it will take a generation, but soldiers are still acceptable to let the families of dead comrades-in-arms divide the land first. Everyone hopes that they can leave something to their families even if they die.

Boss Silica couldn't help but think of his sons and daughters who have grown up. Their wives and dowry are the motivation for Boss Silica's work.

Of course, he can get more spoils than Kailar. In order to transport those spoils, he also rented a third of the warehouse of a Spanish merchant ship in Siena before transporting the things to Austria.

However, the marriage targets of Sirica boss are all big figures in Austria, although Ladislaus wants to review the marriage of top powerful figures.However, in most cases, they would not "intervene", after all, a well-matched marriage was originally Barbarossa's teaching.

For these interests, Sirica boss must work hard.

Only the first part of the road can be taken by boat. After entering Bohemia through Bratislava, the rest of the road is all land. [

You can rest in Bratislava the same night you depart from Vienna.

This is the second largest city in Bohemia, but because it is the first foreign city on the Danube trade line, it has become the focus of Austrian intelligence strategy.It has been corrupted by the Austrian intelligence agency, and it is full of Jones' subordinates or puppets who have been caught.

Moving here, Sirica feels like she is even in the country.

The nodding and bowing city gate officer, the cowering tax official.

These guys, who are extremely vicious to businessmen, have no temper at all when they see the Austrians.

Of course, even if they face other businessmen, they are only busy making benefits for themselves, and they don't care about smuggling at all.

Bratislava was one of the most important relay points on the trade line between Vienna and Buda.The tax situation here is so "chaotic", which naturally prevents the Kingdom of Hungary from benefiting from the recently developed trade to a large extent.

Not only did the Austrians successfully establish an "experimental drug distribution point" within three days, they didn't even pay taxes on the disguised goods when they crossed the border.

After more than ten days of ups and downs, the Austrians arrived at their second destination, Prague, the capital of the Bohemia Yang Kingdom, which was also ruled by the King of Hungary.

This is where the professional skills of Austrian intelligence agents are really tested as expected.

"My lord, we are a caravan from Venice." Sherlock was in charge of negotiating. He rejected the title of baron to the surprise of most of the Austrian nobles, and asked for another reward, Barbarossa to help him stabilize a line. Psionic keys for his new tongue.

"The tongue is my most powerful weapon, and I can't serve you without it." Ladislaus was also a little moved by what he said, but he didn't think it was possible.After all, Sherlock's faith in Jergal is unshakable.

Barbarossa's support actually surprised Ladislaus, because Shylock did not abandon his faith in Jergal, but Barbarossa used the power of the Wish Pool to rebuild his tongue.

Although he is a master of spiritual key breeding, using spiritual keys to create a tongue is completely different from strengthening the strength of other muscles, and he cannot do it without the help of divine power.

And rehabilitating disability has always been costly.An opportunity that is difficult to obtain even for its own believers.

Both Ladislaus and Odd Kessler had questions about this, but Barbarossa did not respond to them.

For such a loyal minister Sherlock, Ladislaus certainly cannot continue to entangle.

Fortunately, most people only think that Sherlock believes in Cyric, otherwise there will be more doubts.

"Venice, I heard that your place is quite chaotic." The tax officer at the city gate casually looked at the list of goods and said casually. The customs duties have been settled at the customs on the border. In theory, no taxes will be collected here. of.

In any case, Hungary is still a centralized kingdom, and it is theoretically impossible to collect taxes "indiscriminately". Of course, if you don't show respect, no business can be done.

In addition to some common commodities, there were several carts of dedicated fungi on the manifest.

"Who says it's not? The damn Cretan rebels have colluded with heretics. We can only try the northern trade route." Sherlock carefully passed a bag containing silver coins through his robes, and at the same time he thought in his heart Quickly revisited my own story. "Christmas and New Year's Day are coming soon. This year's business is in a mess. We'll see if we can get off to a good start next year."

Delicious and juicy fungus is a popular ingredient, and it is a favorite of the ladies when paired with fat foie gras.

These fierce Italian guards were recruited from Bavaria. They were all old mercenaries who had participated in suppressing peasant uprisings, so they looked particularly fierce.

Sherlock quickly reviewed the homework in his mind.

There is no need to go through the fake personal resume again, Sherlock has already devoted himself to the performance, and has no reaction to the name Sherlock.

"Go in." Unexpectedly, the tax collector at the city gate was so ostentatious and did not avoid his colleagues, he directly weighed the money bag he took over, and let it go directly after confirming that it was a lot, not only Sherlock's preparations It was empty, and even the manifest was wrong.

Not only was the tax collector wary of spies, he didn't even care about smuggling.

As New Year's Day approached, caravans from all walks of life were very active, and the tax official didn't have the energy to check everything.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Sherlock was not disappointed that all his preparations had failed, because it indicated that their mission this time would go well. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote, monthly pass,. Mobile phone users, please go to read
