One Hundred Routes of Counterattack
Chapter 22 Ningxing Counterattack 3.5
"No, I can't let you go to the front line with me. You are a judge, and you can only play your role in the city. You don't know any sword skills. It's too dangerous to go with me!"
Inside the palace, the king's excited voice sounded, and the attendants looked at each other in surprise. It had been a long time since they had seen the king lose his composure.
However, Sykes will of course lose his composure. He is more and more infatuated with Nicholas, and he has long been unwilling to be a close friend.He can vaguely feel that his friend's intimacy with him has exceeded the warning line, and he seems to be in love with him, but so far neither of them has pierced the window paper, and he still hesitates because of that "g" not before.
But this does not hinder his deep love for Nige, and he hopes that Nige can be happy forever under his protection.Hearing that Nigg wanted to go out with him, Sykes interrupted him excitedly and strongly opposed it.
Han Xiu knew that he was worried about himself, and his eyes softened: "Sikes, have you forgotten my medical skills? I can go to the army to take care of medical treatment. If you are not a soldier, you don't have to go to the battlefield. With my help, the injury will definitely heal." Greatly improved, isn't that great?"
"No, Nigg!" Sykes said stubbornly, "The environment of the expeditionary force is harsh. Although I do have confidence, it is still too dangerous. I don't know what will happen. You just stay in the city, okay? "He didn't understand why Nigg, who obviously didn't care about the expedition before, suddenly asked so forcefully to join the army.
"Of course not!" Han Yao raised his voice and said suddenly, "I won't be with you, what if something happens to you? There may be some epidemics or epidemics in other countries. Those accompanying military doctors have nothing to do with the diseases that have appeared in Rome, they can only do random bloodletting for you! They can't even handle simple knife wounds!"
There is a reason why Han Xiu is so serious all of a sudden. The fates of his lovers in the previous two lives were not very good. Tang Gan died of madness, and Shen Mingzheng died of exhaustion after being disabled. Suddenly, I discovered that my lover was infected with a local epidemic during a certain expedition, and then died because he could not seek medical treatment in time!After his death, the huge Roman Empire disintegrated, and the places he originally occupied were directly taken over by the temporary leaders he selected, and it took a long time for the chaos to settle down.
Sykes' heart was moved when he heard the words, he looked at his friend's anxious face fixedly, and suddenly said: "Why... why are you so worried about me? Is it just because I am the king and your friend?"
Han Xiu looked away unnaturally, but his face flushed slightly: "You are my king, my friend, but... I still like you..."
Sikes approached him ecstatically, took his hand, and looked straight into his eyes: "What are you talking about? You like me!" Seeing Nigg's tender eyes, he was very happy, and again Suppressing the joy in my heart, "Listen to Niger, you like me, and I like you too. But I can't listen to you about this matter. It is precisely because I like you so much, if you follow, I will be afraid of myself Will the decision be risky, will it put you in danger. In this way..."
Han Xiu lowered his head and raised his head for a while, with firm eyes: "Yes, Sykes, I will listen to you this time. But you have to promise me that I will be the Minister of Administration, and I will manage this country when you go to war. I will let you believe in my management ability, and you also need my ability to rule the newly conquered areas. And I will be responsible for enough logistics, so that you can have sufficient supplies for your expedition."
Sykes smiled wryly: "What a greedy guy, in order to make you promise me to protect yourself, you actually asked me to give you such a big right. If you do this, I am afraid that many people will say that you are My sycophant!"
"It's already quite a lot, and it doesn't matter if you add more." Han Xiu said coldly, "The key is you, whether you agree or not."
In fact, Sextus I's own ruling ability is mediocre, but his outstanding military talent and personal charm make up for all this.His ability to conquer and be good at fighting is well-known in later generations, but Han Xiu can easily see his sloppy handling of administrative issues from the fact that he let go of a region after he conquered it.
Therefore, in order to protect his lover's country, Han Xiu doesn't mind making his reputation as a sycophant even louder.
Sextus I has always been stern and harsh to his courtiers, not to mention that the ministers Han Xiu wants to have administrative power and logistics power are not his cronies.The next day, Sextus found an excuse to dismiss the minister of administration and let Han Xiu parachute up.
Han Xiu became one of the top power cores in the kingdom from a great judge, and his extremely fast promotion speed shocked many people's eyes.The rumors that had just been suppressed in the city of Rome quickly spread again. There are different opinions about how Count Tulip flattered, invited His Majesty, and even climbed into His Majesty's bed.Earl Tulip's performance of guarding his body like a jade in the past can now be perfectly explained as an indescribable relationship between him and His Majesty.
However, Han Xiu didn't pay attention to those nonsense at all, not to mention that these are really not groundless guesses, he really wants to hook up with His Majesty the King, is there any problem with being with his lover?As soon as he took office, he started drastic reforms. Taking advantage of the vision pattern trained in the high positions of the previous two lives, he first wanted to reform Rome itself, and also made suggestions for the upcoming expedition.
"...The newly conquered area needs to send all the original rulers, including the ruler's family, to the city of Rome. The newly conquered area cancels the original country name, divides it into the territory of Rome, re-divides the regional intervals, and is managed by the city of Rome. New The people in the conquered areas were granted Roman citizenship, they could enjoy the rights of Roman citizenship, and they needed to pay taxes and abide by the law according to the obligations of the Romans..."
The Chancellor of the Exchequer distressedly imagined the money that would be spent on these things, and couldn't bear to say: "Your Excellency, Earl Eugene, is it too urgent, the expedition has not yet started, why start reforming Rome itself now? And those who are against Isn’t the policy of the newly conquered areas too harsh? They may rebel!”
"Of course there is no rush. If it is not time to reform Rome into a country that can take over the new territory well, should we wait until His Majesty captures a piece of land before reforming? Also, since the newly conquered area has been conquered, it is reasonable It should be attributed to Rome, not to mention that His Majesty's army is still there, and it is already going to resist, which can only mean that it has not yet been conquered. If the newly conquered areas are not included in Rome, and the people there become Roman citizens, then they will never It will be the Romans, but still the locals ruled by the local nobles! They can be Babylonians, Persians, Gauls, but it will not be the Romans who invaded them!"
Han Xiu's eloquent words made the Minister of Finance speechless, and he could only murmur, "But the money it will cost..."
"We were going to support His Majesty's expedition. Since His Majesty wanted to conquer them, His Majesty would not care about spending a little more time to let those rulers who were scared and surrendered understand the rules of Rome, right? His Majesty?"
He looked at Sykes, whose eyes were shining, and the latter nodded again and again: "Although I don't know much about administration, I can tell that Nigg's ideas are self-contained, which is indeed conducive to regulating order. Nigg I have already thought of how to rule the new area for me in front of everyone. It is very good. I just need to lay down that piece of land and then issue an order to let them accept the unified leadership of Rome. This is very good. In this way, I will have no future troubles ,keep going."
Han Xiu accepted Sykes' compliment with a smile, and continued: "Maybe there will be some financial constraints for the time being, but when we get through the period of financial difficulties at the beginning, when the newly conquered areas also start to pay taxes, and like my lords All that was thought, with the wealth from the conquered lands flowing into Rome, what we did was nothing."
In the end, Sykes made the decision to confirm and approve Han Xiu's reforms and suggestions.
After the meeting, Sykes couldn't help but half-truthfully said to Han Xiu: "I know, Nigga, I just saw you forcefully claiming to create a better Rome for me, and I'm hardened here."
Han Xiu pursed his lips and smiled.
From this day on, those aristocratic lords who were obsessed with Nicholas's elf-like appearance finally realized the rampant side of a "sycophant". They were the first targets of Han Xiu's drastic reforms.
Han Xiu had carefully studied the tax law and financial issues in Tang Qian's life, and at first he only indirectly reminded Tang Qian, but this time he did it himself, which can be said to be bloody.All kinds of complex and detailed business taxes, agricultural taxes, transaction taxes, etc., he even strictly required the nobles to assess the value of inheritance and collect a certain amount of tax.Of course, many aristocrats will rebel, but he first announced tax relief for small businessmen, then reduced the tax rate for farmers, encouraged farmers to reclaim wasteland, and proposed related preferential policies, such as tax exemption for the first three years of reclaiming wasteland, and can be used after five years Obtaining the ten-year use right of this land at a very cheap price, etc... has won the support of a large number of people at the bottom.At the same time, he also opened a school and taught for free. In a short period of time, he trained a large number of low-level administrative personnel to work at the bottom of the city of Rome. get started.
Another thing he did was to re-plan the territory. He imitated the previous two generations and re-divided the land that the nobles of Rome had randomly occupied into different counties. The officials of the counties were appointed by the central government and were usually the political enemies of the local nobles. .The political opponents have a weak foundation and must rely on the support of the central government to compete with the local nobles. However, the local nobles were restricted by Han Xiu's various strict laws, and even the private army was abolished.
Later, Han Xiu even stipulated that the territories of nobles must abide by the number of territories corresponding to their titles, and that after the territories are registered, they cannot be bought or sold, but can only be inherited.Inheritance is the right to use rather than ownership, and ownership is owned by the state. Nobles can engage in commercial and agricultural activities, but they must abide by the unified laws of the state when employing tenants.
Yes, he also abolished the slaves. The slaves who were originally locked in the arena were released, and those without family members were sent to the army. Of course, in order to preserve the tradition of the arena, the people fighting in it are all death row prisoners. Reward Then the sentence can be reduced accordingly...
When everything was on track and began to develop in an orderly manner, eight years later, he was already 28 years old.And during these eight years, Sykes spent most of his time expanding the territory outside. He sat in the city of Rome and looked at the empire. Yes, it has now been renamed the Roman Empire, and the territory of the empire is slowly expanding.
Sykes came back five times in these eight years, all after five victories.When he came back for the first time, the two were already together because of the pain of parting.
Although there are countless aristocratic literati cursing how flattering and domineering Nicholas Eugene, the poisonous tulip, no one can deny on the surface that Han Xiu's actions are meaningless.He did allow Rome to smoothly and quickly transform from a slavery society to a feudal and efficient political body.Because of this, he can be said to be in power.
But this time, Sykes' goal is the Bauhinia Dynasty.
Inside the palace, the king's excited voice sounded, and the attendants looked at each other in surprise. It had been a long time since they had seen the king lose his composure.
However, Sykes will of course lose his composure. He is more and more infatuated with Nicholas, and he has long been unwilling to be a close friend.He can vaguely feel that his friend's intimacy with him has exceeded the warning line, and he seems to be in love with him, but so far neither of them has pierced the window paper, and he still hesitates because of that "g" not before.
