Warlock Royal Family

Frenzberg did not join the "Durden Crusade" in the end. He had too much work to do. It was not an easy task to expand the 5000-man army into a 5000-man army.

Although the reclamation soldiers in the Württemberg area can provide part of the source of troops, there is still a huge gap.

According to Ladislaus's plan, Frundsberg was already busy day and night to complete the marshalling work before the autumn harvest, although he devoted himself to this work with great enthusiasm for the Austrian national fortune and his personal power , but he is obviously a double.

In view of Jones and Jarlaxle's description, Ladislaus decided to deal with this Durden himself.

Of course, his main agenda is to inspect the important towns in southern Austria, including Graz and the Port of Trieste. Soon a storm is coming, and Austria must be prepared. [

Dealing with drow rangers who might show up is just incidental.

Although most of the resources were concentrated in the field army and Vienna, the walls of the various provincial capitals still needed to be repaired, and the inventory had to be fully replenished.

Ladislaus's plan was not even told to Jones and Sarzastan, who were traveling with him, hoping to achieve the purpose of sudden inspection.

The choice of these two colleagues was also carefully considered. As the head of the intelligence agency, Jones is responsible for eliminating terrorists, and he seems to have a lot of fighting spirit to deal with Duden.

Sarzastan was trying to keep him away from the center of power. As Anna approached step by step, Sarzastan's sphere of power was also shrunk by Ladislaus. Now his sphere of influence is larger than that of the Archbishop of Wurzburg. What's worse, it is undoubtedly the weakest in the State Council.

Sarzastan also knew his state, and basically accepted the situation honestly. Of course, it was inevitable to accumulate strength in private to prepare for a counterattack. Ladislaus pulled him out of Vienna, which would inevitably disrupt his preparations. This would give Machiavelli a little more time to prepare.

Machiavelli made mistakes, of course.

But Machiavelli's mistakes, in Ladislaus's view, are the mistakes of doing more and making more mistakes.

Although Ladislaus had to be punished for the principle of governing, Machiavelli's mistakes were always forgiven to a large extent.And get the most opportunities to make up, this is the treatment of a real cronies.

This time, as usual, the power to stay and do things in Ladislaus' absence belonged to him and Justice Hohenzollern again.

"His Royal Highness Sazastan has worked hard for you, but to deal with this dangerous and powerful ranger, you must go out." Ladislaus, who was dressed as a businessman, patted his butler Sazastan, although the caster was by no means The best candidate to deal with Ranger, but in Austria, even if this Ranger has the ability to face the powerful team of Ladislaus, he will definitely not be able to please.

"This is my duty and responsibility. It's hard work." Sazastan's standard of treatment is not low. Ladislaus and he are the only ones who have a carriage to enjoy, but he still often squeezes In Ladislaus's carriage, the monarch can alienate his courtiers, but the courtiers can't harbor resentment, and what's more, he is indeed self-inflicted.

The other members of the "caravan" can only sit on flatbed carts.

For those Intelligence Bureau combatants.What's more painful is that they can only look at the carloads of high-end drinks but not drink them.

Even decent salaries of civil servants cannot afford fine wines from the Viennese landscape series.

Fifteen carloads of good wine, even though they are sealed in the best oak barrels, should not lose their taste at all, but after the drunkards know the type of goods, they feel that they can smell the faint aroma.

So each of them suffered to the extreme.

Sirika's boss' subordinates also participated in this operation. Compared with Jones' subordinates, these former criminals performed better.

They don't really care about the expensive drinks.But more concerned about land issues. [

"Kailar, this time you got the land, is it the best land?"

Another colleague came to ask about this matter, and Kailar explained again helplessly: "I have already bought land on the south bank, and I didn't want the land on the north bank because I can't manage it well, and I just took the compensation."

"Oh, it's such a pity." It was another person who felt sorry for Kailar, although the compensation was not too small.But most people always think that it cannot be compared with land.

Ladislaus also provides one-time compensation to officers and soldiers who do not want land, and there will be a monthly pension when they get old.

Of course, that little money is nothing to Kailar, who has a lot of luggage in the South and North Wars, but it is still a very good hope for most soldiers.

Of course, the pension is actually cheaper than the land. Ladislaus also left a gap to make it difficult to continue to provide land in the future. The royal family bought the land and then compensated the veterans to increase the proportion of self-cultivating farmers. This kind of good governance can last a generation. Not much, Ladislaus just played such a trick in order to buy people's hearts as quickly as possible.

And even if the land far away from the capital is divided, the effect is much worse than that near the capital.The field soldiers in the Württemberg area were greatly oppressed by the bureaucracy, and the bureaucrats in the capital had a slightly higher morality, and more importantly, they received much more effective supervision. The value of the yeoman near Vienna to national power was the highest.

Allocating land is the thing that can most make the people love the monarch.The current prestige of Ladislaus is really high, and this land division system linked to the retirement system has greatly enhanced the difficulty of Austrian conscription.

The wine delivery caravan going south along the avenue met many young people who volunteered to join the army in Vienna. There were especially many people in the Swiss region. The mountainous land could hardly support a large number of mercenaries who had lost their jobs. The Kingdom of France could not afford them for the time being. Although the Italian city-states need them, Austria is doing its best to prevent pro-Roman mercenary captains from operating in Switzerland, and Austria's conditions are better than those of the Florentine Republicans.

This not only went a long way toward alleviating Frundsberg's difficulties, but also strengthened Austria's rule over the newly acquired territories.

Of course, there are more and more caravans on the road. The chaos in Venice has brought opportunities to the Port of Trieste. Many Mediterranean merchants have changed their unloading points to the Austrian port, which is safe although the software and hardware facilities are relatively inferior. .

Except for those merchants who deal in war-related materials or have extremely reliable roots, who would want to go to Venice today.

It would be miserable to be affected by the Venetian Civil War, and you will be subject to inexplicable censorship when you go ashore, and you will lose your life in a daze.

The chaos in Venice was an opportunity for Austria.

Just on the first day, I ran into many merchants and Ladislaus, who had mutual possessions, and made some small transactions to diversify their commodities.

Merchants from the entire Mediterranean region can be seen in Austria, and there are also many pagan merchants from the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Several True God churches in Austria are busy biting each other, and no one is going to embarrass the believers of Xingyue Demon.

Among the various merchants, one from Tunisia particularly caught the attention of Sarzastan, who approached him at dusk when Ladislaus and his party were camping.

"You only sell wine? Don't you have pearls from Vienna?" The dye merchant from Tunisia greeted Sazastan warmly.

The businessman who travels north and south has the best eyesight. He realizes that Ladislaus is a real big businessman just from those expensive wine barrels.

Although his dye was also a good product, he didn't bother the master directly, but talked to the housekeeper first.

"Fine-quality pearls are not easy to get." Sazastan looked very disappointed. Some pearls have been produced in the Danube farm in Vienna, which is one of the most sought-after products in Austria. "The Port of Trieste, where those defective and low-quality goods are sent, has little advantage over Shanghai Shuizhu, unlike your Tunisian city and the red dye produced by the competition where you are rushing for it. "

"Oh, you are too modest. I just came from the port of Trieste. The natural beauty of Vienna is the most popular there. It is said that this kind of wine is now in quota supply." This Tunisian businessman has rich experience. "You can get more than a dozen carts and hundreds of barrels of good wine at a time. Your master must be a person who can talk to Mrs. Doria. What is the background?" [

"Hehe, I can't tell you that." Sazastan showed a complacent but slightly regretful expression, expressing vividly the mood that scares you to death but can't show off his background.

Bluffing is also Hong Pao's specialty. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
