Proof of the Sun King

Curona, the capital of Brittany, in mid-February.

Members of the Brittany High Command gathered in front of the Curona Palace, the streets were packed with people, hundreds of flags were raised, and snow fell from the sky.

The grand state funeral is being held, and the three portraits are being held by the kingdom's regent, Lawn, the field marshals Berhemond, and Callard.

The defense of Curona was over, and the Brittany Army withstood the pressure. As the queen of knights, Surya personally led the army, defeated 50,000 people with 15,000 people, killed Prince Sigwald, and lost more than 5,800 people. The epic victory of more than 40,000 people announced the success of the defense of Curona.

This battle made Surya famous, and the nickname of Brittany's Flower spread in the old world, people were proud of the wise rule of the Sun King and his queen, and at the same time for Britania in the end Proud to have survived and maintained a stable environment in such a dire environment.

Ryan made a series of decisions for Surya only after he came to Curona, including recruiting the private army of nobles and distributing the money from Curona's royal treasury, which made him laugh and cry, but Ryan didn't say much, but One by one, the promise was fulfilled.

As long as the nobles of Curona sent private troops and family children to participate in the war and made military exploits, they were rewarded uniformly. Ryan turned over 70% of the fiefs and family properties of the knights and nobles who escaped and gave them all the rewards. , among them, 400 people were selected from the young children of the noble private army and the knight nobles to form the "Young Guards", and a full 100 people were awarded the title of kingdom knight. The knight nobles are still satisfied, after the war. , this group of people began to focus on receiving fiefs and properties, competing for vacant market share and rebuilding those abandoned manors outside the city.

The 4,000 veterans and temporary veterans suffered huge losses. By the end of the battle, there were only less than 2,200 left. Ryan treated them separately. Among them, the best, those who made military achievements, and those who made breakthroughs happened to suffer great losses. A total of 550 soldiers were added to the Old Guards, and another 450 were added to the Mousillon Cold Creek Guards. The remaining 1,300 were awarded the title of Glory Freeman. And the post, the army transfer, the pension for the dead and the family to take over the post, Ryan sent Beria to arrange all this.

Surya defended 70% of the Curona Plain, but 30% of the area was still occupied. A total of nearly 60,000 people died in this catastrophe, 350,000 people were displaced, and it was a huge trouble to settle the victims. Immediately after arriving at Curona, I dealt with everything non-stop.

At the same time, Ryan announced that the three marshals who died in the battle, Marshal Rokossovsky, Marshal Davout and Marshal Roland, will be held state funerals.

All walks of life in Brittany mourned the death of the three marshals. Many people discovered that, before they knew it, four of the ten marshals that Lane had originally enshrined had died in battle and left their homeland forever. the people.

Surya took advantage of the situation to propose a "war donation" to the knights, nobles and businessmen, and received an enthusiastic response.

The first big businessman who took the initiative to donate was Amancio Perez, the president of the Estalia Merchant Union. This big businessman relied on a very good relationship with Ryan and Forgan. Estalia transferred most of his property to Brittany as soon as he was in danger, and Amancio's business focus has since been placed in Britania.

But Amancio soon encountered difficulties. Although the Estalia Merchant Alliance headed by him cannot be said to have no foundation at all in the Knight Kingdom, it is difficult to compete with these local merchants, and Brittany The knights and nobles have a natural contempt for the Estalians. After all, you **** can't even keep their homes, and they still have the face to do business?

Therefore, in order to open up the relationship and gain the recognition of the knights and nobles, Amancio fought hard, and the Estalia Merchant Alliance gritted his teeth and took out 20,000 gold crowns + 120,000 Exelante (Ace Thalia gold coins, and the exchange rate of gold krone is about 3:1) plus hundreds of tons of materials, the first one to donate to the kingdom of knights, expressing his determination to stand firmly with the kingdom of knights, Amancio will Chang is even more generous in his remarks, saying that to build a community with a shared future for mankind in the old world, I can only trust His Majesty the Sun King and the Queen.

The second is Oliver, the royal businessman of Ryan and Suria. Oliver is in his 70s this year, and he is already an out-and-out old man among humans, but his appearance looks like he is in his forties. Over the years, the Oliver Chamber of Commerce has almost become one of the best super chambers of commerce in the old world, relying on the power of Ryan and Suria and the monopoly of the wood elves trade franchise, and he is quite trusted by the wood elves. When Oliver was in his sixties, this The old dwarf merchant once came to the end of his life. After Queen Ariel got the news, she took a young bud from the oak tree and parasitized Oliver's body.

The sprout and Oliver coexisted, relying on the immortality medicine of wood spirit, Oliver lived a second life, and he now has at least forty or fifty years to live.

Oliver also donated 100,000 gold crowns + hundreds of tons of supplies, and he was even allowed to sit next to the Holy Grail Knights, which is a symbol of the highest status for a businessman.

The third is President Hadrian of the Hadrian Chamber of Commerce. This is also Ryan's old friend. Orika was bought by him to give to Ryan. Over the years, Hadrian has relied on the Lustria trade to earn money. It was a lot of money. The Dahaoshang, who was in his fifties this year, went to Lustria many times to assist Fugan, but this time in the destruction of Tyrell, Hadrian's Chamber of Commerce also suffered losses, so he only donated 5 Ten thousand crowns, but Hadrian donated all the 60,000 sheep he rescued from Tyrell to Ryan.

The fourth person to stand up is the Agnew family, a local big businessman in Brittany. This family has a business history of hundreds of years. In recent years, it has been squeezed by the two major chambers of commerce, Oliver and Hadrian, and its share has been reduced. Naturally, they did not want to be left behind, and they also took out a lot of real money, and also sent 6,000 war horses, 10,000 mules, and 8,000 cases of wine to show their loyalty.

With these four big businessmen taking the lead, all walks of life actively donated money and materials, especially the emerging class of free people. These people have begun to be proud of their donations. They believe that the kingdom needs their donations and taxes, which is their identity. and status symbol.

In this way, everything that Sulia spent and all the funds that Ryan spent on the aftermath returned to Ryan after a circle, and it was doubled.

Devonhill looked straight.

The economy is so simple!

"It's very simple, but the premise is that you must be able to win. You must convince everyone, including nobles, businessmen, and commoners that you have the ability to clean up the mess, you have the ability to protect them, and you have the ability to maintain order. ." Ryan gently held his son's shoulders and said slowly: "Naturally everyone is willing to contribute money, businessmen, they need the most basic order, but they also expect a certain amount of chaos."

"Lane, what about the Marienburg side?" Surya watched with satisfaction as her husband and son were biting their ears. The knight queen was very proud of her victory. This battle brought her prestige to the peak, but the knight queen still The vengeance for the 60,000 dead and 350,000 displaced by Slaanesh's army is on Marienburg.

The first time Sigwald landed on the road to Curona, the big trenchers in Marienburg were not only unprepared for battle, but also reached an agreement with Sigwald privately, using dozens of slums purchased from the slums. of babies and toddlers and fifty carts of offerings in exchange for Sigwald's promise not to come close to Marienburg.

Although Slaanesh's commitment to keeping promises is basically as he likes, but Sigwald was originally there for Brittany. He smiled at the gift and turned his head towards Brittany. .

This hatred must be reckoned with.

"Don't worry." Ryan shook his head: "Talleyrand is already on his way back. Marienburg is imperial territory no matter what, we must become famous."

"Is this not enough?" Veronica, the chief female courtier behind Ryan, was equally indignant~www.wuxiaspot.com~ As long as the master gave an order, I directly asked Julian and the others to level Marienburg. Olika licked her lips, and the dark goddess obviously didn't like Ryan's conservative style: "I'll deal with it." "

"If we just wanted to let Marienburg spit out a sum of money and throw a few scapegoats to take over the pot, we could have gone directly." Ryan said slowly: "But if you want to take advantage of this opportunity It is not enough to put things under the street lights in Marienburg, besides, we are a lawful kingdom of knights, and we must pay attention to justice.”

"Justice? Che." Olika shouted dissatisfiedly, "Sometimes the master is too conservative and too disciplined. When is the time, the army rushed in directly. How could those people in Marienburg be our opponents? "Grab, grab, grab!" Veronica also waved her small fist, and the female speaker couldn't help drooling when she thought of Marienburg's amazing wealth.

"Don't worry, be patient." Ryan shook his head: "Marlin Fort is a piece of fat, but how to eat it into the stomach, we need to explain the method, otherwise the big trenches will be forced to die or a war will break out, then we will At most a fraction of the capture, and a bad relationship with the Empire and the gods of the Old World."

Everyone was silent.

At the end of the grand state funeral, the breathless Talleyrand rode his horse and came to Ryan: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am here, and I have brought the latest news."

"What news?" Ryan took the letter, opened it and glanced at it, his eyes lit up.

"Hey, isn't the opportunity here?"

"It seems that our Knight Kingdom is going to have a tense and exciting economic war with the merchants of Marienburg."

Second update!
