"Your Majesty, if it is a marriage, it is not only a matter of name, but also a certain amount of gift money! A gift money suitable for a princess of a kingdom" Prais lowered his head, and did not immediately take the order from the fat man's hand, but stopped talking with an embarrassed face,

"What? Why haven't I heard of it?" The fat man's face was stunned for a moment, many of his women were princesses, and it was the first time he had heard the word gift money, and he didn't take the initiative to give the dowry? No, what age was this? It was simply a heinous crime! The fat man looked sad and indignant, he had never given it in his previous life, of course, it was a woman who did not have his own

This is a turbulent troubled times, in the troubled times to rely on the strong is the most common rule of survival, since ancient times, how thin life, they are completely with the mentality of salvation, to save the princesses in the troubled times, this is a great act of kindness, I have never heard of it, the rescuer to the rescued to give reward

Of course, the dead fat man will never admit that many of these princesses were forced to become their own women under the pressure of the army.

Sometimes the fat man also feels that he is very evil, no matter how he looks at himself, he looks like a big villain, conquering the city, and in the end not only occupies other people's territory, but also robs other people's daughters, but if he doesn't do this, there will be upright ministers like Prais, who stand up and ask himself to do this kind of thing, okay, brother compromised, asked for money, asked for one,

Prais looked at the fat man's slightly changed face, a little anxious, in the more than half a year since he joined the Falcon Dynasty, he knew a lot about the fat man's money-loving character. Hurriedly explained

"Your Majesty, this marriage is different from the previous ones, according to the rules of the kingdom's marriage, the kingdom of Virtue has been defeated. But it was only defeated, not destroyed, so this princess who was able to bring the throne of Majesty Xià was worth at least five million gold coins."

"Five million, why didn't she grab it!" The fat on the fat man's face trembled with fright from this number, and his body subconsciously took a step back, five million gold coins, that is the total income of the Falcon Dynasty in a quarter. Since March of this year, the Falcon Dynasty has frequently launched large-scale wars with foreign countries.

First fought against the Dongting people, and then annexed Rui Erdian in one fell swoop. More than 4 million Ruierdian refugees were settled, the three northern counties were expanded, and the forces strongly expanded eastward to the area north of the Dorok Mountains, and finally 100,000 troops went north to the steppe, defeating the remnants of the Eastern Court and the cold army from the northern polar regions in one fell swoop. *book* bar()

These seem to be the brilliant achievements of the front-line soldiers who are brave and well-commanded, but in fact, they are all supported by strong finances and there is no continuous logistical supply from the rear. There are no rich rewards for soldiers who dare to play with each other, even if the Falcon Army can fight again. No matter how good your strategy is, your army will crumble due to lack of food and low morale

Now the fat man can't wait to guarantee his personality at the same level as the stinky sewage ditch. In the treasury of the Falcon Dynasty, the poor can starve the rats to death, and the dynasty's finances and taxes are close to the red line of the deficit, as for why the rats ran into the treasury and starved to death, the fat man really doesn't want to explain

He accompanied his fingers to settle accounts with Prais, who wanted money from death, although September has passed, but it will have to wait until the country's third quarter of the tax revenue comes up, at least in mid-October, this time is the poorest time in the kingdom, even if he peels his own skin and bones, and sells the fat on his body for 10,000 gold coins a catty, he will definitely not be able to get the 5 million gold coins that Prais wants!

"Ahem, don't be excited!" Prais coughed with an embarrassed face, looked at the Falcon Majesty who was crying in front of him, and said sympathetically, "As the adjutant of His Majesty, of course I know the current financial situation of the dynasty, therefore, my subordinates have privately tested whether the other party can reduce some, after my unremitting efforts, one and a half million is already the bottom line, and the cronies of the Nord princess who contacted us promised that if we can come up with one and a half million gold coins, Her Royal Highness the princess is willing to agree to the request for marriage!" “...,

"But even if it's one and a half million, I don't have it now!" the fat man blinked innocently, spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and decided to throw his killer move

"There is no money, there is one, if the other party returns to Kyoto in a fit of anger, it will be very troublesome for us, and the Roude people will think that we are humiliating them, and we are afraid that an even more tragic conflict will break out!

"Delay your sister" Prais was speechless in the face of the shameless fat man, obviously he was retaliating against himself, procrastinating?

Prais gritted his teeth and said with a wry smile, "If His Majesty can't come up with so much money for a while, his subordinates can propose a good compromise for His Majesty!

"Oh, there is such a thing, tell me about it?" Hearing that there was money to be made, the fat man immediately became interested, and waved his hand with his eyes shining,

said that he also has some revenge mentality, but the main thing is that he really has no money.

In the two months since the Battle of Kyoto, almost all the Central Army and the two corps of Varisian and Salon have been used, with a total strength of 135,000 men.

The scale is unprecedented, and it is a series of major battles, a surprise attack on Deheborg, a breakthrough in the Anruode defense line, and an army of 100,000 directly attack the Kyoto of Zode,

In the past two months of fierce fighting, tens of thousands of grain and materials have been consumed every day, and if it were not for the bumper harvest in the north, this year's military rations would have become a problem.

In fact, if the siege continues like this for two months, without the German counterattack, the Falcon army outside the city will take the initiative to withdraw.

There is no money to spend, no food to eat, can you wait for death outside the city!

This is also where the fat man is increasingly worried, he doesn't want to slaughter the city, a dilapidated Kyoto, after all, it's not what he wants to see,

But if you are really forced to go to which step, it is the only way,

"I heard that since the war, His Majesty has not only captured more than a dozen famous generals, but also thousands of noble officers of Kyoto, large and small!"

Prais raised his head, a trace of thought flashed on his face, and he hesitated and said to the fat man, "Instead of raising these people with surplus food, it is better to send someone to deliver a letter to Kyoto Castle, if these officers are exchanged for ransom, I believe it will definitely be more than 1.5 million gold coins."

"Come on, bring me the names of the prisoners of war at the squadron leader level and above captured some time ago!" the fat man stood up from his excited seat and shouted to the two guards standing at the door, if it wasn't for Prais's reminder, he would have almost forgotten about the "valuable items" who were imprisoned

Soon the guards brought up the list of prisoners,

The fat man flipped through it casually, there were really a lot, and he wrote more than a dozen books, and the visual inspection was at least about 3,000 people.

"Do you know how many people there are in total?" The fat man asked, in his eyes, these are all yellow gold coins, originally intended to be knocked hard after entering the Kyoto of Virtue, but now although he is a little reluctant, he has to take out the ransom in advance, "a total of 3283 people" It was Prais who answered him, it seems that the adjutant is staring at this, not a day or two

"I knew that you must have calculated this a long time ago, and I will leave it to you!" the fat man closed the list and reluctantly handed it to Prais, who was waiting eagerly next to him

"One and a half million gold coins, if you can really squeeze so much money out of these people, you will be the great hero of my Falcon Dynasty, but if you can't squeeze out that much money, I can only use your family property to offset it!"

"Your Majesty, and the 100,000 captives......" Prais took the account book from the fat man's hand, and looked at the fat man with a bit of Xiyi's eyes, and the words that came out of his mouth almost made the fat man vomit blood...,

"Five million Roude thrones, one and a half million Roude princesses, and now they are coming to ask for ransom and captives...... The fat man took a deep breath of cold air, and looked at Prais with red eyes, "Are you really the upright Prais? Or is it the owner of a grocery store in a roadside stall in disguise?"

"The country is in danger, and everything should be done!" Prais replied with a righteous face, "Have you forgotten that in order to raise military expenses, I once sold the royal family's treasures privately!"

"For the sake of His Majesty and the dynasty, my subordinates are willing to break their bones! In fact, being a grocery store owner has always been a dream of mine," Prais replied with a shameless face

The fat man looked at Prais depressedly, as if the other party's face had grown as a flower, and only after a while did he say, "Prais, if it weren't for the fact that your face is so real, I really doubt that you are not the person I know, have you decided to give up your criteria as a nobleman?" I heard that you are a person who cares about your status very much!"

"I heard that His Majesty's biggest hobby before was to dress up as a grocery store owner, and if I talked about my identity, I couldn't catch up even if I rode a horse!

The fat man sighed helplessly, this guy Prais really deserves to be a ruthless character who came out of the wind and waves, and he really played his hooligan, which was on par with himself

"Well, I'll tell you the truth, those 100,000 captives can't move, because in the next few days, I'm going to use them to attack Ryoku Kyoto!"

"Didn't Your Majesty agree to the marriage, why did you still storm the Raider Kyoto?" Prais looked at the fat man with a look of surprise, he rushed back temporarily, and he didn't know the situation in Raider Kyoto, but he knew that the Nords went out of the city to fight a big battle with the Falcon Army for the sake of the fake attack on the negotiating group.

"It's not a strong attack, it's a counterattack!" the fat man smiled mysteriously, believe it or not, if those captives still have weapons in their hands now, the first thing they will do is not to fight us, but to fight back to Kyoto!" (To be continued......)
