People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

Chapter 284

Hang up the communication.

Lothar was still a little embarrassed.

"Seleucus is also considered a prestigious figure. The empire he founded, in its heyday, had a larger territory than the Sasanian Empire. I didn't expect it to fall into this situation later."

The dignified founder of the country was reduced to an evil spirit after death,

Although in the history books, Seleucus and other successor dynasties have a bad reputation.

But in fact, as the continuation of the Alexander Empire's rule over the East, the Seleucid Dynasty laid the foundation for the Hellenization of the Eastern world, and even the Roman Empire's inclusion of the East into its rule. It is by no means a small and insignificant country.

"Human nature is greedy for life. In the face of death, no matter whether it is an emperor, a general, or a trafficker, he is equally afraid. Even if the emperor and general have more, they will be more afraid."

Banruo looked indifferent, guarding the gate of ghosts for countless years, she has long been used to the ugly appearance of those so-called "big shots" before death.

"That's right, many emperors were wise in their early years, with great talents and great efforts, but in their later years, they would inevitably become dull. This is probably the so-called great terror between life and death."

I think of those emperors in the East who asked for immortality and even took lead and mercury poison in order to live forever.

Lothar deeply agrees with this.

The deeper you are in a high position, the more you are afraid of death.

That is to say, Christianity prohibits suicide. In many places, there is even a tradition of dragging the corpse of the suicide to the market, square and other public places to dismember or behead him. If the body is incomplete, it is destined not to go to heaven.

Otherwise, many people whose life is difficult and difficult to maintain are very likely to choose to kill themselves.

distance.

The sky has turned pale.

It's already this time, there is no need to sleep again.

He took out a pen and paper, thinking about how to effectively govern the Limassol Military Region, and when to meet Queen Lagaia.

The situation in Limassol is different from that in Transjordan, and Lothar has no intention of translating his series of policies in Transjordan to this side, which will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction.

First of all, the local tyrants in Limassol are not pagans. They are all Orthodox Greek nobles. Their power in the Eastern Empire can be described as intertwined.

To get rid of them all, firstly, it is too difficult, and it is easy to arouse opposition from the surrounding Greek nobles; secondly, it is not good for his reputation, after all, Orthodox Christians are also brothers of Christ.

Furthermore, there is no need for this.

As long as the status quo can be maintained, the island of Cyprus can provide him with a considerable amount of tax every year, which is enough.

Because of his mediocre combat effectiveness, he didn't even count on the conscripts here. He only planned to recruit a group of Greek sailors to form the Mediterranean fleet.

This can ensure that he has a complete commercial route from Tianzhu to Western Europe. You must know that the commercial routes are intertwined, and the price and cost may double for each additional link.

The silk that was also trafficked from Gujarat, if sold in the port of Ella, Lothar may only get ten benefits, but if it is sold in the port of Jaffa, the benefits may reach twenty.

Doubling the income and increasing the cost, even including the time cost, is absolutely impossible to reach ten.

If it is sold in the port of Marseilles in Provence, the income can soar to [-] in an instant. If it is transported to London through the North Sea, the number will be at least [-], or even [-].

You know, this trade route is almost completely monopolized by Lothar alone. Who let the territories of the Crusader princes be connected to the Red Sea by only Lothar.

Lothar's heart was burning.

Now, the influence of the extraordinary world on the mundane is getting deeper and deeper.

For Lothar, whether it is to expand the territory or to increase the strength of his subordinates, a lot of money is needed.

Marles, Uldin and other subordinates can be released later, after all, they are not front-line combatants, but Celinina, Fringila, Rangna, Hannya, etc., have to be upgraded to the full level first. .

Moreover, Rangna has elite materials. Help her advance to the first stage as soon as possible, and his cards against the extraordinary in this world will be stronger.

"Later, I have to find Turiados and swear allegiance to me. With his help, there is a high probability that the effective rule of Limassol can be maintained. At least those local nobles will not treat me too much. Resentment, positive obedience and negative transgression."

"Want to sleep for a while?"

"No."

Lothar shook his head and said, "I meditated for a while. The description of the Immortal Dragon Soul has greatly helped my spiritual power increase. I plan to try to see if the efficiency of meditation has improved."

"it is good."

Prajna said nothing more.

The bond between the two is very deep, and Lothar is now able to borrow more and more of her strength. There are many words that the two have a perfect understanding without needing to say it.

Lothar closed his eyes.

The brain gradually empties out.

when Wake up.

It is three poles in the sun.

In just a few hours of this meditation, my mental strength increased a little. According to this efficiency, in a few years, I will be able to start preparing to be promoted to a wizard in the legendary realm like Anna.

It's still too slow for him though.

But compared to the wizards in this world, who may take hundreds of years to set foot in the legendary realm, he can already be regarded as a genius.

After a simple wash.

Lothar came to the living room.

"Has the specific number of casualties been calculated?"

Jeanna looked solemn: "A total of 270 people were killed in the battle, and 39 people were seriously injured, and minor injuries were not counted."

Lothar looked slightly stunned, this number was more than he expected.

The seriously wounded here often do not refer to those who were seriously injured. With the existing medical conditions, it is difficult for the wounded to come back, and they will be included in the number of war dead in the future.

It refers to the physically handicapped.

"For the seriously injured, remember to arrange for them to recover, and ask the local government to give them more help. If they can't farm, they will also be given subsidies according to the situation. The deceased will also be paid pensions according to the pension policy we set at the beginning."

Jeanna nodded her head slightly, but she didn't show any sadness.

The losses of the peasants and soldiers were not small, but the fruits of the battle were too rich, and the exchange ratio was almost one to ten. It would be a bit of a fake to say that it was sad.

After all, kindness does not command soldiers.

Although Jeanna was a decent person, she took the matter of casualties much less seriously than Lothar. What's more, the casualties could be properly settled, which was much more lenient than most lords in this era.

"Turiados was begging to see you outside. I'm afraid he was frightened by you last night."

"It's not just him who is frightened?"

Lothar laughed lightly.

For aliens beyond their own cognition, people's first reaction is often rejection, fear, and even hostility.

But Lothar is obviously not what they dare to reject.
