Beautiful Another World Red Tide

The whole meeting hall was crowded with people, and the big nobles in the western region were basically here, as well as other nobles from the central province. They surrounded His Majesty Aisha and the brave like the stars, and the Earl of Alama sat on a high platform condescendingly. The trial was sent against Count Karashov.

"You're talking nonsense!" General Leodo immediately waved his hand angrily. He couldn't tolerate Earl Alama's distorted facts. He glanced at the other generals in the Hyperion Legion. Admitting it or not denying it, General Leodo was furious. He took off the medal on his military uniform and threw it on the ground. It was an honor that rewarded him for being brave in battle and covering the retreat of his comrades many times. Now, this honor It's as ridiculous as a joke.

"Sir Leodore, pay attention to your attitude, and don't be unreasonable in front of the imperial court!" Earl Alama shouted angrily.

"You are also worthy of being called unreasonable! Bah! The traitorous dog smashed, and you were still enjoying yourself in the royal city when Earl Karashov was fighting on the front line! What qualifications do you have to accuse the earl! What's more, you issued this order!" Leo General Duo angrily pointed at Earl Alama's nose and cursed.

"I understand your unreasonableness, but I don't think you are qualified to stay in the legion anymore. You should be dismissed tomorrow and go home. We will give you a house and land." Earl Alama said calmly.

"You don't need your kindness." General Leodo tore off all his military ranks, threw all the medals on his chest to the ground, and finally took off the sword and the armed belt, and looked at Count Alama with disdain.

"I am self-reliant and can live."

He has long hated this kind of atmosphere, and he has already figured it out in the past fifteen days. Under the leadership of the idiot Earl Alama, they will definitely lose.

"My lord count, I'm leaving. Take care and beware of treacherous villains." Leo Duo finally shook Count Karashov's hand, and walked out from the door next to him, no longer involved in such political tricks.

"Okay, if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush. Don't you just want me to come down? Do whatever you want." Count Karashov said disdainfully.

"Count, your serious dereliction of duty did not give you your title..."

"Down with my title? Come if you have the guts!" Earl Karashov was furious after hearing what Earl Alama said, and cursed.

"Alama, remember it well. You are not qualified to criticize me here. Back then, His Majesty Ivan wanted to make me the Grand Duke of Ropotia, but I voluntarily refused. You are not qualified to dictate in front of me."

Count Karashov couldn't keep calm anymore. He had always understood Count Alama's tricks and tricks, but he never thought that this guy wanted to pour all the dirty water on him, which made him absolutely intolerable. A bastard, how to match him up.

"You! Old Dong..." As soon as Count Alama was about to explode, several royal nobles stopped him, signaling that this could not be the case. Count Alama looked around again, and many officers and nobles showed sympathetic expressions. , he could only give up and spare Karashov.

"I also sympathize with you. You are getting old. In the future, your son will inherit the head of the Hyperion Legion. As for the deputy head of the army, he will be the brave man. The brave man killed the enemy bravely in battle and actively covered the army. The troops will retreat, and from now on, Lord Brave and Sir Lal will jointly manage it." Earl Alama finally decided.

"This old man, beating around the bush, can be regarded as fulfilling his wish." Old Yuan complained.

"What's going on, why can't I understand?" Koichiro asked confused.

"Didn't you pay attention to the conversations of those nobles before? You have donkey hair growing in your ears? I heard clearly just now that the light cavalry divisions are all direct descendants of the army led by Karashov. Otherwise, why do you think Alama wants to The rear of the light cavalry division." Old Yuan said with a sneer.

"Unfortunately, they thought you were just a son of a nobleman who didn't know the grain, and thought that it was impossible for you to control the legion, but they obviously forgot..."

"Why can't I control it? I have a way!"

"Speak your mind."

"It's enough to boost their morale and tell them to be loyal to the royal family. I've seen this in the animation. The brave howls twice, and the soldiers all run away."

"you……"

"You should learn more and read more, I will take care of this."

"Then there is one more thing..."

"I don't care what kind of partner you find yourself."

Lao Yuan continued to listen attentively to the changes in the political system, secretly happy in his heart, it was convenient to have a shield to confuse these people.

……

"According to the decision, Marshal Shivanov will be in charge of the garrison of the Royal City again. The Sixth and No.13 Legions will be handed over to Marshal Oleg. The rest of the Central Province is preparing to launch a unification war against the western regions."

On the stage, Sun Boyang announced this military decision. The victory on the front line made the bourgeoisie ecstatic. They felt that they had gained another victory. Soon, they seemed to be able to succeed.

"Be quiet, gentlemen, be quiet." Sun Boyang waved his hand and continued.

"Now let's vote on the second issue. We have observed that the injury rate of workers due to work is too high, and it is difficult to afford timely medical treatment. This situation has led to more and more disabled beggars in the royal city, which is unacceptable to us. , According to the decision, there are now two options as follows, one: open a low-cost large medical clinic to treat patients with such work-related injuries. Two: the factory owners are responsible for supporting them and paying for their treatment costs, and now the voting begins.”

As soon as this remark came out, the parliament was clearly divided into three factions. The soldiers insisted that they had nothing to do with themselves, while the officials hoped that the factory owners would pay for it. But Sun Boyang is not so sympathetic, he only tacitly agreed to a low amount for them to mess around. This kind of small money charged is simply incomparable with the time-consuming and labor-intensive, so they are naturally unwilling to start the business.

The businessmen objected to paying their own money, so it goes without saying that they would do anything for money.

The number of people on both sides is basically the same. The soldiers remained neutral and chose to abstain. After all, many of them are descendants of officials and businessmen who work with each other, and it is not good to engage in factional conflicts. Therefore, Marshal Oleg simply ordered, Military representatives are not allowed to vote on proposals that do not involve the military.

The businessman and the official sent several representatives to criticize each other's views and support their own optimistic side. The two sides debated inexorably, and they were trying their best to fight for the interests of their own representatives. Sun Boyang looked helplessly at the picture hanging on the wall. The clock, he knew, there might be no results today.

The clock on the wall struck the final ring, and neither of the two sides could argue about the reason, so they had no choice but to adjourn the meeting until tomorrow to continue the debate. Sun Boyang announced the adjournment. With the implementation of the parliamentary system, Commander Victor rarely asks about these trivial matters. Except for major decisions, he basically does not interfere too much with these small decisions. Sun Boyang understands this reason. Obviously, a qualified Supreme Leader Leaders will try to play the balance as much as possible. As long as there is no trouble, everything is fine in their eyes.

But Sun Boyang was very worried. The situation of the farmers was very bad. They were not given much land. The famine year was still a famine year, and the situation of the workers was obviously more difficult, and they were levied another tax It is even more difficult for them to maintain food and clothing. Sun Boyang decided to do something before spring, at least to win more favorable conditions. He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. Going to have a meal at Commander Victor’s house, he was too busy a while ago and he didn’t have time. Now, he wants to go to the appointment in good faith, and also for the livelihood of farmers and workers, to test the thoughts of this thoughtful commander .

76 ambition

The house led by Victor has really changed a lot. The luxurious and luxurious mansion is now even more resplendent, and the interior furniture has basically been replaced. It has reached an even more staggering level. Because of many relationships, he also gave a set of furniture when Commander Victor officially took office, but although those furniture are still there, they are all inlaid with precious jewelry or directly gilded. , appearing more jeweled.

Is this so?Sun Boyang felt a bit puzzled, it was already luxurious enough, why did he continue to climb in such a meaningless place, he didn’t understand until he was led from the living room to the dining room where he entertained guests, that Victor’s ambition was taken a step further .

The decorative murals on the meeting restaurant have changed from the celebrities he saw in the past when he came here to the famous monarchs of various countries. It seems that this is not the dining room of the commander, but the restaurant of His Majesty. Sun Boyang did not show a surprised expression, just calm Sitting on the vice seat, waiting for Victor's arrival.

Commander Victor arrived just 5 minutes later. He brought his family of three and walked in with a smile. He shook hands with Sun Boyang and apologized. After a while, the corner of Sun Boyang's eyes twitched, thinking that I can understand you wearing aristocratic clothes, but it's hard for me not to think of other things when you change your military uniform.

"Brother Sun Boyang, I have been looking forward to your visit for a long time, but unfortunately we have been busy during that time, and we have no time to formally get together until today." Commander Victor said to Sun Boyang with a smile.

"You are very polite, Commander. It is a great honor for me to come again." Sun Boyang returned the greeting with a smile.

"Please take a seat, butler, and serve the food."

A series of exotic dishes were brought up one after another, and Sun Boyang couldn't help sighing after just a few mouthfuls. Rich people really know how to play, and use extremely fresh ingredients to enhance the taste without MSG. It is really extravagant and desperate. Workers are still worrying about whether they can eat mush, while high-level officials like Victor are generally arguing for which ingredients are more delicious. There is a tinge of anxiety in a society that is changing, but not changing at all.

He is naturally clear that it is difficult or impossible to succeed in parliamentary struggles, but a certain foundation should be laid before taking force. At least the government must not be so dilapidated. It must cause a change in thinking. Officials can't even be called bureaucrats now, they are just a group of new nobles.

But right now, it is impossible to open up the examination system, officials still practice mutual recommendation, even the "technical official" has only a few official positions, everything needs to be changed slowly and firmly, all of this depends on It can only be achieved through the mediation of various parties.

"Let me introduce you, this is my wife Yuna."

"Hi Mrs. Victor, it's an honor to meet you."

"Mr. Sun Boyang, you are welcome. My husband will need more care from you in the future."

Mrs. Victor and Sun Boyang greeted each other politely. Sun Boyang looked at the lady. She had the same natural upper-class atmosphere as Victor. At a glance, he knew that she was not from a poor family. He noticed Wei The rings on the fingers of Commander Keduo and his wife almost caused Sun Boyang to lose control of his expression. The pair of rings were clearly a replica of His Majesty Alexander’s ring, but it was painted silver. Every time he came to the Commander’s house, he would see a lot of them. It hinted that this made Sun Boyang both helpless and worried.

"This is my son, you can call him Little Victor: Reglio Victor."

"I'm glad to see you, little boy."

Sun Boyang still greeted the young man sitting next to him very politely, saying that he is 17 years old, and he is already an adult at this age. Little Victor is different from his father, he has the vigor of a young man , and looked very young again, this kid also wore a military uniform that was one size smaller, and specially put on boots and an officer's top hat, just like his father.

"Uncle Sun Boyang, I have heard about you for a long time, and I have wanted to see you for a long time." Little Victor said excitedly.

"You are my father's important minister, Uncle Sun Boyang." Little Victor continued.

"It's nothing, it's just the favor of Commander Victor." Sun Boyang politely shirked.

"Uncle Sun Boyang, if you don't mind, I'll call you godfather, and you'll just treat me like your son from now on."

Little Victor suddenly got excited, and he was about to push away the chair when he got excited. Sun Boyang quickly got up to stop this impulsive behavior and looked at Commander Victor. Commander Victor just looked at him with a meaningful smile and said nothing. He did not stop little Victor's movements.

"Sir Victor, there is no need to be like this. In this way, you will still be worthy of my uncle and nephew in the future, and this godfather will be avoided. I am actually not very old, and I am still fertile." Sun Boyang quickly declined, while smiling bitterly in his heart, Sure enough, the big boss has no family. This is the inconvenience. Many high-ranking officials and businessmen have come to him, wanting to let his children recognize Sun Boyang as a godfather. Sun Boyang spends a lot of time every day dealing with such things. Yes, this made him quite helpless. Many people even proposed to be engaged to Lida's child. Sure enough, nepotism is applicable everywhere...

But this is better than accepting Sun Boyang as a godfather and marrying an illegitimate daughter who has no status?Pull it down, that is the worst policy.

"Uncle Sun Boyang, since you said this, I won't force you, but you can treat me like your son from now on. If you have anything to say, just tell me, and I will work for you at any time." Little Victor still didn't give up. continued.

"If there is something to do, I will definitely ask you, but it is better for you to graduate first, my son." Sun Boyang smiled, sat down again, picked up the glass of red wine, and said to suppress the shock.

"I'm graduating soon, Uncle Sun Boyang. I'm going to be your secretary. I'll learn some basics first, so that I can take over my father's class." Little Victor said carelessly, as if he didn't think anyone else would be a secretary. The next leader, as if the position of leader is already hereditary in their family.

"Uncle, I hope you can persuade my father to be firm. In the future, if my father becomes...you are the servant of the dragon, I will ask my father to make you...hereditary duke."

Sun Boyang was taken aback by what little Victor said bluntly. He looked around. Fortunately, little Victor said the last sentence lying on his ear, and Commander Victor just pretended not to know. Chatting with his wife.

"Son, let's eat and let Uncle Sun Boyang rest for a while." Commander Victor smiled lightly.

"Good dad."

Little Victor immediately threw himself into it, as if he hadn't said anything just now.

"It's a republic now, and we can't talk about being a nobleman. It's just being a nobleman. It will be an honorary title in the future, and we won't be allowed to involve in political affairs." Commander Victor said casually.

"Yes, and I think the officials should change, at least they should continue to work in a down-to-earth manner." Sun Boyang nodded and replied.

"Don't worry, Brother Sun Boyang, I recently checked the work of the government. Generally speaking, it is very good. There are no mistakes. This is enough. You and I also know that they are like this, and it is difficult to change. I think we're unprecedented in history."

"That's right." Sun Boyang couldn't continue for a while, wondering if he should mention some of his ideas now.

"Have those businessmen come to bother you recently? To be honest, I have had enough recently. They have been looking for me all day long, saying that the government officials are tired and can't add any more work." Commander Victor scorned With a smile, he picked up a cigarette from the waiter's tray and said.

"It's the same with me. I have to be dragged into meetings every night. Everyone hopes to continue to reduce taxes a little bit, open factories a little more, or let the government go to treat those workers. In short, they just refuse to pay." Sun Boyang took the cigarettes from the waiter's tray to thank him, took out the matches and said.

"Can Mrs. Victor and the young master get used to it?" Sun Boyang asked just as he was about to ignite it, remembering this.

"They both smoke more vigorously than me. I don't usually smoke because I want to quit smoking, but they usually smoke." Commander Victor laughed, and the other two picked up their favorite cigarettes. The class is in its mouth, ready to listen to the "adult" talk.

"Then I'm relieved." Sun Boyang lit a match and said.

"Speaking of which, this match is really magical. It's the first time I've seen a wooden stick that can be ignited without fire magic. I really don't know how you made it." Commander Victor asked with enjoyment.

"I said it is actually very simple. In this regard, I only provided ideas. The real maker is not me. You can guess who matched the things on the matchhead according to my ideas? "Sun Boyang asked with a smile.

"Don't guess, Brother Sun Boyang, you can't trouble me with this. They are the alchemists of the Ossus Empire, right? Although the connection between our country and the Ossus Empire is average, there are still some common sense. A magician is good at training some alchemists. In addition to their main business of refining puppets and potions, the alchemists on his side like to fiddle with alchemy, but nine out of ten are fake, and they are easy to explode. That's why people don't call them puppeteers but alchemists. I guess, that's..."

Commander Victor and Sun Boyang both laughed, and Sun Boyang nodded in acknowledgment.

"I recruited some alchemists who escaped from the Ossus Empire. When I learned that they were better at alchemy than making puppets, I decisively took them in, and after checking their alchemy products, I provided them with Thoughts, I didn’t expect that they actually hit it by mistake, um... It can’t be said that they hit it by mistake, it should be said that after pointing out the direction, many experiments were successful. It didn’t meet my guess, but it was almost the same effect .”

"Luck always favors those who are prepared." Commander Victor sighed.

"If it were me, I would drive them away. After all, if you don't know how to make golems, isn't that the same as a magician who doesn't know how to do magic?" Victor laughed at himself.

In fact, it was a coincidence. During that time, Sun Boyang happened to have some chemical improvement plans. It happened that these escaped alchemists arrived and showed him a series of inventions. Speaking of this, it’s a good thing this world There are electricity magicians and air magicians, otherwise, this series of complicated procedures would not be so easy to do.

77 Camouflage is useful

That being the case, why not develop explosives and real physical cannons?Just kidding, it is very difficult for so few alchemists to barely help maintain the production of matches. How could it be possible to build a gunpowder production line with magic?What's more, he didn't expect that half of the alchemists had already been dispatched to experiment, so that this subject could be integrated into a systematic knowledge, but there are too few people, and this series is in its infancy. He has already let these The alchemist went to write letters to his friends in the Ossus Empire, asking them to work if they are good at this. "

"Sun Boyang is very satisfied with this matter. This is a very important aspect. Technology is the primary productive force in many cases. Now, in chemistry, although the start is slow and destined to be slow, it has also given Sun Boyang a clearly visible path. The road, that is, the road of chemistry is feasible and can be moved forward step by step, but it still needs careful care and regularization."

In this regard, he also plans to apply for some funds from the government to set up a systematic laboratory after a while. At least it must be clean, and it cannot be like a black magic witch workshop. Life is priceless.

"Let's get back to the point. Regarding their thoughts, what can you do? You can't let them keep arguing. We don't hold this meeting for them to quarrel." Commander Victor asked again.

"It is difficult for them to regress in terms of interests. I can understand the thinking of both parties. The treasury is empty. Although about half of the army has not obeyed the order, the remaining half still has to be paid. The refugees also need relief. All aspects Everything needs appropriation, and nothing can be separated from money, so it is normal for officials to hope to collect more taxes." Sun Boyang nodded and said.

"But businessmen also have their own ideas. They feel that the new government has just exempted most of the exorbitant taxes on businessmen and then raised a few basic taxes. They are naturally suspicious and dissatisfied, let alone legislating their factories or workshops. If workers are treated in a standardized way, they will feel that the new government is infringing on their freedom, so they can understand why they don’t give in an inch.” Sun Boyang continued to explain.

"What do you think?" Commander Victor and his wife and son were fascinated, and hurriedly continued to ask.

"It's easy to say. Businessmen don't want their pocketbooks to be touched. The treasury is empty and needs money to replenish it. We have to take care of the feelings of farmers and workers and treat them as preferentially as possible. This also requires money and should not be oppressed. So, I have only one suggestion."

"The territories of most of the nobles in the Central Province should be properly distributed according to the merits and needs of officials and businessmen. I suggest that the rest should be divided equally among the peasants. Note that it is the poor peasants, not the landlords."

"Oh! What kind of distribution are landlords and poor people, Brother Sun Boyang, your idea is too special. Farmers only divide upright and hardworking people from scoundrels and selfish people. This is a consensus. I don't think this is right. It’s enough to hire refugees again, and this will also solve the problem of refugees.”

Commander Victor quickly shook his head, completely disapproving of Sun Boyang's division method. He was born in an orthodox bureaucratic system, so naturally he would not recognize this division of farmers as a way, even if he understood, he would not dare to admit it. After all, food is very important. They The rule of the country has to be established on the landlords, not the civilians who have no weapons and will not resist.

"Okay. Okay, but you have to be clear, my lord, this is not an option in the long run. If you want to stabilize the parliamentary system and the official system, you must develop it in a new pattern. The land annexation in our country has reached the point where It’s so neglected, this must be improved.” Sun Boyang could only nod his head, but he still reminded Commander Victor.

"I understand, isn't it time yet?" Commander Victor smiled and spread his hands, and he signaled the waiter to remove all the food, replace it with pastries and snacks, and pour some low-alcohol wine. drank up.

"Brother Sun Boyang, don't worry too much. It will be fine. You and I will work together and we will definitely be able to control the situation. Now that government affairs have just started, it will always take time to change." Commander Victor said calmly.

"Speaking of changes, what do you plan to do with the two legions brought by Marshal Schvanov?" Sun Boyang also picked up his glass for a sip. Speaking of which, he actually doesn't know how to drink at all. It's not that he can't drink enough, he must socialize That's enough, the problem is that Sun Boyang can't taste the goodness of the wine, at most he can say that this is spicy and that is sweeter, so he has never been picky about wine.

"This has long been an internal decision." Commander Victor didn't laugh this time, but just glanced at his wife and son. Mrs. Victor and Little Victor are not political idiots, so they naturally know what's next The matter was ulterior, immediately found a reason, and went out with the servants one after another.

"I had written and face-to-face communications with Marshal Oleg, Marshal Shivanov, and Marshal Benshamin, and finally decided..."

Commander Victor didn't say anything, just dipped his index finger into the wine glass, drew a rough stickman, and then separated the villain's head and body with a stroke.

"Really?" Sun Boyang asked with a jump in his eyes.

"You should know better than me, that's the only way." Victor sighed.

"They are isolated in the barracks now, and they don't know anything yet. Once they know that His Majesty Alexander is no longer regent, you should know better than me what will happen. At least the fate of the two of us is absolute." Commander Victor continued.

"Then how can we keep the wind from spreading?" Sun Boyang asked hesitantly. He is not someone who is soft-hearted when encountering such a thing, but it is so sudden, not to mention that the cavalry troops here are basically old nobles. Origin, how should I explain it to them? "

"I also have an idea about this matter. My plan is to transfer all the divisions under various pretexts, let the original senior officers of the two legions disperse, and then insert our officers. Wait a while In time we will announce that they plan to coup and rebel, and then..."

"It's the only more feasible way." Sun Boyang frowned, and suddenly came up with an idea.

"I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible." Sun Boyang said again.

"Tell me, we don't need you to push me away." Victor asked.

"For officers at the battalion level and below, we can send new auxiliary officers at the same level as them. They are mainly responsible for propaganda work and do not interfere with the military excessively. However, they must announce the benefits of the republic to the soldiers and let them determine the justice of the new government. The characteristics, especially the light infantry, and the main thing is to keep the soldiers from mutiny, so that even if the cavalry division mutiny, they will soon be forced to stop because there is no support." Sun Boyang told his conception.

"This is not without problems. For example, what should the officers do? How can we be sure that the officers sent out can complete the mission, and how can we ensure that the officers sent out will not be assimilated by the nobles? These have to be resolved, but Right now, this is indeed reducing the possibility of conflicts erupting." Sun Boyang explained.
