Chapter 249: The Earl of Red Clay

The Morris Empire is huge, and 40 million gold coins is nothing to this huge empire. But most of the taxes collected by the vast empire had to pay for the huge civilian system and millions of legions. In addition, Emperor Morris has always been extravagant and extravagant, and it is very difficult to mobilize 40 million gold coins in a hurry.

The most important thing is that Yang Feng has withdrawn to the Red Earth Wasteland, and there is no threat to the Morris Empire.

Maurice was reluctant to cut down on the gold he had for his pleasures and spend it on military spending.

Isel said loudly, "Your Majesty, the demon Ian has looted more than a billion gold coins from the province of Morlinson. The empire only needs to spend 40 million gold coins, and defeating the demon Ian can return all 1 billion gold coins to the treasury. ”

A bright color flashed in Maurice's two thousand eight hundred and sixty-seventh old and cloudy eyes, and the wealth of a billion gold coins made him a little moved, and his eyes looked at Favio.

Favio smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen hasn't finished talking just now. After the crushing defeat of the Tooth Hunting Legion, the fighting warriors of Morlinson Province were almost depleted. Although Governor Busso defeated the demon Ian in succession, many of his warriors were killed and wounded. It will take at least two years to re-recruit and train soldiers and restore their combat effectiveness. ”

Morrison frowned slightly, he couldn't wait two years.

Favio turned his blade and stabbed Isère fiercely: "Your Majesty, I have a good proposal!" The private soldiers of the Isele family are extremely powerful, and not long ago, Duke Isère used the private soldiers of the family. Destroyed the Duchy of Iman. It is better to let the Duke Isel send his family's private soldiers to serve His Majesty and capture the City of Miracles in one fell swoop. The Duke of Isère was also His Majesty's most loyal courtier. I guess I won't refuse this offer!"

A gleam flashed in Maurice's eyes and he laughed loudly, "Good! good! Isère, I command you, with your family's private men, to attack the City of Miracles. After conquering the City of Miracles, I will reward you with 100 million gold coins with the wealth of the City of Miracles. ”

Duke Isère's face changed suddenly when he heard this. The Hansen family has 20,000 elite family privates, and these 20,000 elite family privates are the lifeblood of the Hansen family, and they are also the foundation for Duke Isère to run rampant in the Morris Empire. Once the 20,000 elite private soldiers are exhausted, the Hansen family will fall from the top wealthy family of the Morris Empire to an ordinary wealthy family, and its strength will decline greatly.

In the Plane of Fisso. Unless it is a national war, under normal circumstances, the emperor does not have the right to order a great nobleman to use private soldiers to fight for himself.

However, Maurice 2,867 did not play his cards according to common sense, and Duke Isère was forced to a dilemma.

Favio said coldly: "Duke Isère, don't you want to serve His Majesty the Great Emperor?"

Duke Isère was in a cold sweat behind his back, and his mind was racing, and he immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not that you don't want to serve Your Majesty. Rather, the private soldiers of the family controlled by the minister have lost more than fifty percent after rashly conquering the Principality of Iman. The required pension of 30 million. The minister was unable to raise it for a while. If you want to let the minister send troops, the minister is absolutely obliged. However, I also ask Your Majesty to allocate 70 million gold coins, as well as the food and grass needed for a year's battle of a legion. Otherwise, even if you reach the laterite wasteland. It's just a repeat of the defeat of the Tooth Hunters. ”

Maurice 2,867 is extremely mediocre, but he is still the de jure emperor of the Maurice Empire, and he has great power. Offended Maurice two thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven. Undoubtedly the stupidest decision. Once hated by Morrison 2,867, the entire Hansen family is in danger of annihilation.

Favio said coldly, "Duke Isère." Your Hansen family can start a war to destroy a principality for the sake of your own anger. but he is not willing to serve His Majesty. His heart can be punished!"

Isel said coldly, "Our Hansen family is His Majesty's most loyal courtier. For His Majesty, it is absolutely incumbent upon us to share our Hansen family's problems. It's just that the army is fighting, and the grain and grass go first. How can a war be sustained without enough money and food?Favio, the governor of your family of Busso has sent forty-four good news in a row, and the number of beheaded people in the good news has exceeded 200,000. I heard that the total population in the City of Miracles does not exceed 50,000, so how did the 200,000 enemies come from?"

Favio said confidently: "The population of the Miracle City before the demon Ian was indeed only 50,000, but after he invaded the province of Morlinson, he captured slaves and filled them into the army. His army swelled up to the top. Every time Governor Busso defeats Demon Ian, Demon Ian will replenish his army again, and only then will there be a situation where 200,000 enemies will be annihilated. ”

An official of the Eretos family walked out directly and shouted: "Duke Isère, your family's 20,000 private soldiers are obviously not too damaged, why don't you want to come to serve Your Majesty?

An official of the Hansen family stood up and shouted, "Duke Isère has agreed to send troops, but there is not enough food and grass. Lord Favio, your Eretos family also has 15,000 family private soldiers, why don't you take the initiative to serve Your Majesty?

Officials from the two major factions of the Eretos family and the Hansen family came out one after another to accuse each other.

Above the court, there were constant quarrels.

"Shut up!"

Morris said coldly in his heart.

Above the court, all voices disappeared, and everyone fell silent.

Morris En pondered for a while before saying, "Since it is so troublesome to send troops, then this matter will be settled." Ian, if he wants to be attached, then make him a red clay earl. As for the fiefdom, it is the entire laterite wasteland. Every year, let him offer 200,000 gold coins. ”

The Fiso plane is an ancient feudal system, and the nobles have various privileges such as collecting taxes and making laws within their own domains, which is almost equivalent to a state within a state. However, the nobles had to pay a portion of gold or materials to the empire every year according to the size of the fief and the richness of the territory, as a sign of submission to the empire. If the nobles were unable to pay the Empire the designated gold and goods, then the Empire had the right to reclaim the fiefs that had been given to the nobles.

Two hundred thousand gold coins is already a lot of money in the eyes of Morrison two thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, after all, the Red Soil Wasteland has always been a place where birds don't, and there are no specialties at all.

Duke Isère stopped talking, but finally looked at Favio, who was staring at him coldly, sighed, and fell silent. He had already offended Morris 2,867 with his delaying tactics just now. If it continues to displease Morrison 2,867, the Hansen family's situation will suddenly become dangerous.

It is even more dangerous to accompany a king like a tiger, especially to accompany a faint king like Morrison who has great power and acts as he pleases.

"Your Majesty Shengming!!"

As soon as Morris's words fell, a uniform voice came from below.

Favio smiled slightly.

Yang Feng led the City of Miracles to the Morris Empire, which is a peerless feat. With this peerless feat, Busso will be able to climb up quickly in the Morris Empire in the future. It would soon become an important pillar of the Heretos family within the Maurice Empire.

Although Busso is timid and afraid of death, and his ability to command troops is almost zero, his political sense and political acumen are very good. He is also one of the tallest young people in the Eretos family at the moment.

An official of the Eretos family came to the center of the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do. ”

Morris 2,867 was a little impatient and said, "What's the matter, tell me quickly!"

The official's hand opened, and an image crystal bloomed with a glimmer of light, and above the main hall, a projection appeared a person wearing a silver dress, with dazzling blonde hair, tall figure, snow-white skin like jade, delicate and beautiful facial features, and a pair of beautiful eyes as if she could speak, like a peerless beautiful girl who came out of a painting.

A flash of light suddenly flashed in Morris's cloudy eyes, and he looked at the official with anticipation, and there seemed to be a trace of vitality in his old body.

As soon as Duke Isère saw the peerless beautiful girl, his face suddenly changed, and he stared at the smiling Favio, his eyes full of resentment and anger.

The official said quietly: "Your Majesty, this girl's name is Faredina, a personal disciple of the legendary magician Alvita of the Titan Empire. It is said to have the blood of the goddess of charm among the Titans, a legendary godborn. According to the information obtained by the courtier, she was close to Edith, the son of the Duke of Isère. The minister suspects that Edith may have betrayed a large amount of information about our Morris Empire because of this woman, and it is even very likely that he has betrayed our Morris Empire!"

Maurice Inn's gaze was as sharp as a knife, staring at Isère, and suddenly smiled, as if to understate: "Isère, what do you think?"

Izel suddenly broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and felt that the Hansen family was about to be in trouble, so he knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty! Our Hansen family is loyal to Your Majesty and the Empire, and there will definitely be no dissent. After the old minister returns to the family, he will immediately use all the strength of the family to capture this woman alive and present it to His Majesty for personal interrogation!" )
