The Origin of Arcane

　　 In this process, the Lancelot royal family can be regarded as a bitch.

The regent princess Sophie Liya made a lot of money behind the **** of Yongyejunling. Not only did she sell a large amount of food, but also had a certain amount of money in the account. Yongyejun led all the properties on the land of the Lancelot royal family. They just waited to collect the money.

　　 In addition, the Yongye Army leader pays taxes on trade here as usual, and part of the official tax of the Lancelot royal family is also accounted for. The part earned by the people has the effect of enriching the people and alleviating social pressure.

The past few years of establishing business and commerce with Yongye Army leaders have been the years of unprecedented financial success for the royal family of Sophielia and Lancelot. Especially in the last two years, Sophielia’s personal income has been equal to that of the entire Lanslot. The sign of the one-year tax income of the Slaughter family is still the total income of the royal family during the tax increase period.

　　 The real wealth losers here should be those nobles, but they are enjoying themselves and they are not a loss.

　　 Even if Sophie Liya saw through Yongye's strategy at first, she would actively invite them into the game.

She is now eating sweets and knowing the taste. I heard that Yong Ye Jun has new plans for the future. Naturally, she has to keep up. She wants to get a share of it. She completely forgot. These plans are likely to be led by Yong Ye Jun. It will be possible after the hostess.

Xiao En directly threw out part of Yongyejun’s strategic plan to lead the future: “The first direction is naturally the sea. The vastness of the sea and the resources contained in it are far beyond ordinary people’s imagination. The continent is limited, while the sea is limited. It is infinite. The battleships captured from the Commons family, coupled with our existing shipbuilding technology, are equivalent to having the best foundation. We only wait for our sailors to complete the training, which is the time when our ocean ships go to sea.

The second direction is the Odin Prairie. Don’t look at me with this look. I know that the Odin Orcs are the common enemy of the Byron Alliance. It does not mean that they cannot become the objects of trade, especially the Eastern Odin Empire. There is a commodity that they cannot refuse, table salt. Do you know how much salt is worth a fist in the East Odin Empire? A two-year-old sheep! Is there any more profitable business in this world? As long as you open the front-line mutual market at the border gate, the speed of money coming will definitely be faster than you looting deep into the prairie, or the kind that takes the initiative to send the door. "

　　 Like most hostile races, the Byron Alliance adopted a strict defense strategy against the Odin Orcs. Trading with them is regarded as a treason and betrayal of the entire Byron Alliance.

　　This has caused many materials on the Odin Prairie to be scarce, and the price is very high.

　　 Of course, where there are benefits, there is no shortage of crazy people who are desperate for money. Smuggling is not uncommon on long borders.

　　 The most rampant smuggling trade with the Odin orcs should be the Commons family. Trade with the Western Odin Empire over the years has always been their pillar industry.

　　 But when he put this matter in front of Grand Duke Cedric, he said that Sean should be the first person.

　　 Unexpectedly, Grand Duke Cedric’s reaction was not as extreme as he thought.

　　Because the Strache family itself is not necessarily so clean. After all, the supplies provided to them by the seven major families have been shrinking over the years. They must find another way to maintain the huge military expenditure.

　　 It is a great irony to earn military expenses through smuggling trade with Odin orcs, and then fight against Odin’s invasion.

Grand Duke Cedric did not show his heartbeat, shook his head and said: "Young man, you only considered the huge benefits brought by the opening of border trade and mutual markets, but did not consider the corrosiveness of a large amount of commerce to the army. When the army is no longer Purely, it is difficult to entrust important tasks."

"I agree with His Excellency's statement, but I don't agree with His Excellency's approach. The purity of the military is not directly related to the opening of border trade and mutual markets. I did not say that the military should be part-time merchants. Countless businessmen rushed to hear the news, and then you can draw taxes from it. In my opinion, if you want to maintain the purity of the army, the most important thing is to have money.

Only when they have money, let them have no worries about food, clothing, and worries, and free from many worldly things, can they truly achieve purity. If it is an army, even themselves and their families cannot feed themselves. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to have them contribute loyalty, perform their duties, and even give their lives?

Soldiers are also human beings, not without tools of thinking. If they can't guarantee even the most basic things, and want to ask them for loyalty, so that they can sweat, bleed and shed tears for themselves, there are more shameless things in the world than this. ? I admire those who can do this very much, but I never agree. "

　　 Sean ignored Grand Duke Cedric’s increasingly ugly face, and the last sentence clearly meant something.

　　 Sean had studied the Byron Alliance army in depth.

　　 There are so many soldiers in this world, such as village guards, city security squads, mercenaries, noble private soldiers, local knights, and the Central Legion are as messy as cows and hairs, just as messy as the military expenses to support them.

For local police such as village guards and city security teams, unless it is a security team in a big city like Valesta, most of the financial allocation comes from the villages and cities where they are located, and naturally belongs to these villages and cities. Top management.

Mercenaries, aristocratic private soldiers, and local knights are even more chaotic. Anyway, whoever has the money will follow and fight for whom. Many of those who have lost their support have directly become bandit groups that circulate everywhere. After all, they They are also human and need to live, and force is the only way they are good at making a living.

　　 At certain times, they are the existence of law and order, at certain times, they become the source of the greatest disaster.

Even the fractured blood knights known as professional soldiers are not so pure. They can only be said to be semi-professional, because many times they have to worry about their huge military expenses and have to turn into bandits and rush into the Odin prairie. In, the war is supported by war.

　　They are certainly fighting the Odin orcs, but when their starting point is no longer purely for strategy, they are easy to be targeted by the enemy.

　　 The reason for such a chaotic pattern is, in the final analysis, the political system. When the central voice is not loud enough and the fists are not strong enough, that is, when the locality is in chaos.

Just look at the current situation of the Yongye army leader. They are highly centralized. No matter how small the village is, the finances of their security personnel are all allocated by the territory. When the salary is sufficiently attractive, they will naturally Resignation is to obey and maintain the rule of the territory.

　　 Not to mention, the army led by the Yongye Army has been separated from the military and government from the beginning, trying to reduce the influence of politics on the army. This did not feel much effect before the Yongye Army leader developed.

　　 But with the development and growth, more and more internal administrative staff, and more appeals for various interests, the advantage of this dual-power separation is reflected.

　　 Those administrative staff do not have military power in their hands, and even if they want to make trouble, they can't do much, because no matter how powerful they are, it is also granted by the territory. When the territory decides to take it back, they can't resist.

Unlike the Lancelot royal family, if you want to abolish a military officer family, you have to consider all aspects of influence, lest the lord and nobles below unite against them, even if these factors are blocked, a fight is inevitable, because the other side With military power in his hands, he won't be obediently arrested.

　　Similarly, if there is a problem with the senior military leaders on the side of the Yongye Army, without financial cooperation, their materials are limited, and the threat can be suppressed within a limited range.

　　 What if there are problems with both?

　　 It can only be said that the supreme ruler himself has already had a problem. It is only natural that the people who have committed themselves betrayed and replaced.

　　 Therefore, putting aside the combat power, if you talk about the purity of the army, the army led by the Eternal Night Army, on the contrary, must be above the broken blood knight, which is the best in the world.

　　 Grand Duke Cedric discussed this with Sean, which obviously won't please.

　　Originally, Grand Duke Cedric wanted to give Sean a kick, but he failed. Instead, he tripped over the opponent and almost didn't fall.

Grand Duke Cedric is not the kind of person with a small belly, and he did not become irritated because of this. Instead, he looked down and thought for a few seconds and said: "The situation you said does have a certain degree of operability, but it is too ideal. Haven't thought about the consequences of the large-scale opening of border trade? Those unscrupulous merchants have no morals, as long as they have benefits, there is nothing they dare not sell. If they export military supplies to the Odin prairie on a large scale, they will eventually be affected. It's still us."

"This is the issue of trade control. The army is in the hands of the Grand Duke. What is allowed to be sold is not your final decision? We are law-abiding, and we give strong support. If you dare to do tricks, don't blame our knife for being too fast. Not to mention, all the materials sold are confiscated and confiscated. We can't give up huge profits for the sake of a potential threat? This kind of thing has never been forbidden, and what we can do is control." Sean will Cedric After introducing him to a field he was familiar with, the Duke talked endlessly.

　　"Your Excellency can support the official caravan. I think there should be no shortage of wounded soldiers who have broken the blood for so many years. They can't go to the front line to fight, but is it not a problem with the business?

　　 They have a lot of benefits in business. First of all, loyalty. Is there anyone in this world who is more loyal than them?

　　 The second is to reduce the burden, which is equivalent to finding a new employment channel for them, so that they can secure their lives in the future, reducing the pressure on the blood fort to support them, and increasing their own financial income, which has become a matter of convenience. "

　　 When I heard the last time, Archduke Cedric's eyes had become bright and shiny, and he couldn't help but lose his voice: "This idea is good, this idea is good, why didn't I think of this before?"

　　 After Grand Duke Cedric took over the Broken Blood Fort, the pressure on his body was getting heavier and heavier, and the number of soldiers he could support was declining. One of the problems that should not be ignored is the handling of the old, the weak, and the sick.

　　Before this, the handling of the princes of Broken Blood Castle was no different from that of other nobles—crossing the river to demolish the bridge.

　　 Those wounded soldiers and retired veterans who were of no use to Broken Blood Castle were repatriated to their original territory by Broken Blood Castle.

　　 Everyone knows what is going on.

　　 These soldiers who have fought for the Strache family for many years and guarded the frontier for the Byron Alliance for many years have been abandoned.

　　 Back home, waiting for their fate can be imagined.

In the **** castle where they fought in blood, no one treats them as heroes, let alone those remote and remote small places. In their eyes, the Odin orcs are only a distant legend, they are indifferent at all, let alone Caring about who these people are fighting with has become like this.

　　 And these repatriated retired soldiers have been fighting abroad all the year round. They have suffered injuries and lack the most basic means of making a living.

　　What awaits them will be the cruelest destiny, either they will become bandits, dragging a sickly body to rob the people they have fought and defended, or they will die sadly in an unknown corner.

　　 The result of accumulation for a long time is.

　　 Ordinary people of the Byron Alliance have a bad feeling for the retired soldiers of Fracture Blood Fort, and even the Fracture Blood Fort, thinking that there is a mob concentration camp.

　　 Soldiers who retired afterwards will have an even harder life. They will be squeezed out by the locals, and as a result, more people will take the road they do not want to take.

　　 This is one of the reasons why the Byron Alliance escorted prisoners to Broken Blood Fort as recruits, because at that time, ordinary people were not willing to go and could only enforce it.

This has led to a more uneven source of troops for the blood fort, and the possibility of problems after retirement is greater. After all, their roots of inferiority are themselves, limited by military law, and they can't do anything, until they return to the original state of life in their hometown. When there is no way to survive, he naturally gets worse, further leading to the notorious reputation of Fracture Blood Fort.

　　 This is an out-and-out vicious circle.

　　 At that time, the morale of the soldiers on the edge of the blood fort at Rongbian was sluggish, let alone more.

　　 Just like what Sean said just now, soldiers are also humans, and they are also thoughtful.

　　 No matter how good commanders and generals are, if they can’t provide the most basic guarantee for their soldiers and want them to fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield, this is not a question of shame, but a question of whether they can do it.

　　 No matter physically or mentally, nothing can support them.

　　What are these soldiers fighting for?

　　 After Grand Duke Cedric came to power, he was also deeply troubled by this problem. In the end, he pulled himself away and found that the fundamental problem was the placement of the retired soldiers.

　　 If this problem is not resolved, the rest is empty talk.

　　 Since then, Broken Blood Castle cancelled the repatriation of retired soldiers to their hometowns, and they were all placed nearby by the Strache family.

　　 Those who can continue to work in the auxiliary arms and those who can be transferred to the logistics work are transferred to the logistics work. If there is no way to work, they will also be supported by the army.

The results of this are obvious. The reputation of Fracture Blood Castle has not only been slowly washed away, but the internal cohesion has gradually increased. Coupled with the brilliant record, they will soon become famous all over the world and become countless teenagers and knights. Longing for the Holy Land, took the initiative to bring family weapons and armors, and rode a war horse to the Broken Blood Fort and spontaneously set off.

　　 Over time, these retired soldiers put more and more pressure on Fracture Blood Fort.

　　 Today, they are almost surpassing the number of soldiers serving in Broken Blood Fort.

　　 Grand Duke Cedric often wakes up from nightmares, mostly because of their problems.

　　 Once there is something wrong with the broken blood fort's defense line, these people have no livelihood, and the chaos they brought to the Byron alliance is no less than that of the Odin orcs who broke through the broken blood fort on a large scale.

　　 The reputation of the Strech family, www.readwn.com, which he has worked so hard to manage for so many years, has been ruined.

　　The confrontation with the young man Shaun opened up a whole new way of thinking for him.

In fact, many retired soldiers of Fracture Blood Fort have been engaged in similar work, just sneaking in. Fracture Blood Fort has just one eye closed. Grand Duke Cedric is somewhat heard about it, but limited by his own thinking. , Never thought of turning this smuggling behavior into a high-sounding official behavior.

"At that time, we can completely control the balance between the two Odin empires of the East and the West through this kind of transaction. If we need to suppress, we will reduce the transaction volume, and if support is needed, we will increase the transaction volume, and even a limited amount of military supplies can be traded. give them.

Conversely, a large number of livestock from the Odin Empire can be obtained from other military leaders in exchange for the materials we need. In this way, we will largely get rid of our dependence on them and have more freedom and rights. The right to speak, why didn't I think of this method before? "

　　 Grand Duke Cedric thought of more things, his eyes were piercing, and a whole new world was placed in front of him. This is a brand-new combat mode. If it is operated well, the power will not be under the attack of the Fractured Blood Rider.

　　 is wrong, it should be far better than the broken blood ride.

　　How much is it for a **** ride with a broken mouth?

　　 is less than ten thousand so far.

　　 The retired personnel of Broken Blood Castle are dozens of times more than him. Once mobilized, they are definitely a terrifying force.
