I Can See The Properties Of The World
Chapter 295
"How much do they want?" Sean wanted to check again.
"King Simon’s message is that he hopes that the southern lords can each collect about five-six hundred million li gold coins and some food...If the materials are not enough, they don’t need to pay, mainly gold coins." Luke I roughly said the content of the message I received.
"Show me!"
Sean took the message from the other party.
The king's commands are all written on special paper, and there is also a buck mark that represents the royal family!
"Six million, is this crazy?!!!"
What does six million mean to an ordinary lord, it is almost half a year’s taxation, if the city It may not feel so good for those who have developed better, and it is acceptable to bite the teeth, but this is not the first time.
From the beginning of the Imperial War to the present, Sean has provided support to the North twice in a row...Although he did not directly send troops there, the materials and money they sent were not a few, especially those who had just started the war. Within months...
The residents of the entire Basharan Empire were in a warlike state. At that time, even if they took out half of the entire family’s food, they were willing to accept it, so the first time I gave it the most, no matter This should be the case in Oro City or other cities, and then intermittently'blood transfusions' to the northern front line. I am afraid that they have given a lot of money in more than half a year.
"How much money do we have to spend?" Sean asked.
Impossible, let all the money be sent out. There are still so many people waiting to be paid in Oro City. If you want to send it out, your own city will rebel!
"About two million or so."
"That's still more than half the difference!"
"If the team reselling seafood comes back this time, we Maybe we can make up about a million, but we still need half a month." Luke said.
"It takes time to pool money, but even this is not enough!"
There is still so much difference, where to find...
"It seems that The purpose of pooling so much money is to give it to Jagon, thank them for sending troops to help." Luke said and asked Sean to read it carefully again.
The last place did say that the reason for asking for money was to thank the Jagon Sun King for his help.
Of course we are grateful for sending troops in the most critical time, but Sean really can't afford such money.
"Then what shall we do? My lord." Luke asked for his opinion.
Sean couldn't think of a good way for a while.
"How is the war on the front line?"
"According to recent reports, the Borg can no longer hold up and start to retreat, and the Kate on the other side is completely gone. First, sum up the battle strength. It is estimated that it will not be long before Borg will choose an appropriate time to announce his surrender.” Luke explained in another report.
"It’s just that the Borg’s national geographic location is so good that even the Sun King’s army can’t directly cross Kate’s entire country into the Borg’s hinterland, and we can’t help it."
"So we can only fight back the other party at most, and can't claim war compensation at all?"
"Yes." Luke said.
This war is really frustrated. After so many people have died, there is still no way to ask others to lose money.
"Well, let's put together the money first, but don't use the money from the earl's house...to ask for some from a few Great Family, just say it is the king's order." Sean said.
"The adults are going to ask for money from the merchant Aristocratic Family? If you take the money from them, you should be able to get it, but they might not want to spend so much!"
"I didn't say must take..." Sean smiled and looked at Luke.
Until now is the other person’s best understanding of their own thoughts.
"Does your lord want to... oppress them?"
"I can't let these families be left alone, I should beat them occasionally...Luke, you pay more attention to other southerners recently In the case of the lord, I don't think anyone can get so much money." Sean said.
After reading the king's order several times carefully, Sean discovered that King Simon, who had been calling orders to ask the lords before this time, actually chose to use the method of'begging'.
Although Sean had never seen King Simon, an aloof and remote king impossible suddenly changed his tone. When faced with the pressure of the Borg army, he did not choose to surrender, and impossible suddenly softened.
Luke thought for a long time, and finally understood what Sean meant.
"The adults have learned more and more about the means of power over the years."
"No way, the nobles at the top are old foxes. If I'm not a bit shrewd, I guess there will be no way. Fa is mixed in the nobility circle." Sean said.
In his opinion, King Simon’s "pleading" tone is a bit abnormal. He is impossible to know that the life of the southern lord is already very tight, and where there will be money to send it out.
And the sender is from other countries!
The help of the allies is certainly worthy of thanks, but the large amount of money in the country has been raided, and there will be no need to pass it in the future.
Post-war reconstruction is the most important thing...
"In my opinion, this money should have been requested by Jagon. King Simon asked all the leaders for the money. Behave, if you can take it out, take it, if you can’t take it out, at least show to the other party that the order has gone down. It’s just that the country really has no money."
"If many lords do Can't get it out?" Luke asked.
"In this case..."
Sean thought for a while.
If the lords here are all watching one pay, it will be difficult to do it, and it will still be necessary to spend a little money, otherwise the above is not easy to explain.
I'm afraid that those lords will look at one of them, and you won't take them first...I won't take them either, and they won't move until the last one.
"Anyway, watch it first, and then talk about it. It will take a lot of time to collect the money." Sean ordered.
Let’s take a look at it for now.
As for how other lords will act, let's see.
"Okay, my lord."
Luke agreed.
…………
In the next few days, I heard that the lords of various places had received similar situations, and some people began to complain that the country did not give him a way to survive. I have already sent out so much money and food, why do I still need it now? You can give a part of support to the north... if you want so much, is it to kill the locals?
Sean probably received a letter from other lords in the south on the 3rd day. The content was that he hoped to write a letter to King Simon so that he could reduce the amount of gold coins he asked for, otherwise everyone would not survive.
Sure enough.
Started to hold a group for warmth.
Let’s take a look at the situation in Oro City. Almost most of the families who were asked for money began to cling to begging... They have paid a lot of money and manpower for the construction of Oro City in the past six months or so. Especially when it comes to spring planting, the cost is very high, and it is hard to come up with that much money.
Otherwise they won't be able to survive!
In the end, I even went to my earl’s mansion to beg for a reduction...
But Sean didn’t let go. As long as the king doesn’t let him go, there’s no way, that’s the king’s order. ! Failure to comply is a felony of treason.
Moreover, the situation of other lords seems to be similar. In the end...
About seven or eight days later, Sean received invitations from other lords in the south and went to the Imperial Capital together. King Simon explained the situation.
It turned out to be like this...
Sean looked at the letter with most of the southern lord's family imprint, and seemed to understand.
It turned out that the king meant to let us go to the Imperial Capital in person...
