Beautiful Another World Red Tide

"I don't care, anyway, those refugees are distributed to those merchants, so as not to reduce the combat effectiveness of the soldiers brought by our nobles." A nobleman still wearing military uniform said elegantly.

"I heard that His Majesty didn't build the palace for pleasure. He intends to..." Earl Alama gave the other nobles a clear look, and everyone nodded in unison and didn't mention it.

"How is the old brave now?" A middle-aged nobleman asked.

"It's still the same, crazy, old and crazy, because we are afraid that he will take refuge in a businessman, so we pay for him, otherwise, this 120-year-old old man, we have already found a reason to be him " Count Alama said disdainfully.

"That old thing is really outrageous. He talks about it all day long in his fief. The last time His Majesty asked me to visit him, he didn't really piss me off. To say he is a beggar is an insult to the beggar's attire. He's a goblin!" said a tall curly-haired knight.

"His Royal Highness Alexander is here!"

The waiter shouted, and all the nobles adjusted their appearance to welcome His Highness. They saw the door of the main hall slowly opened, and His Highness Alexander was wearing a heroic white military uniform, walking towards them with his head held high.

(When I looked up at the sky, I saw the dark night. The weather in the university was generally very cold. I could only hide in the dormitory and worry. Now, can we push the pot to them?)

(It's still not bad. I think it's a kind of bad game to surprise you and update again when you think I won't update.)

18 His Royal Highness

His Royal Highness Alexander is wearing a new pure white military uniform. This is a new military uniform that has just been innovated by the Yongdalim army a few years ago. The original generals are all wearing the traditional noble costumes, which look too bloated and not suitable for soldiers. Image, His Royal Highness Alexander's princess is a gentle and virtuous woman who is proficient in embroidery. It was with her help that His Royal Highness Alexander designed this new military uniform. Of course, those who go to the battlefield still have to wear armor. This military uniform is only For dress occasions only.

"Your Highness, I'm so happy to see you back safely." Earl Alama greeted you first, bowing enthusiastically and respectfully.

"There is no need to be too polite. It is my duty to protect my family and the country." His Royal Highness Alexander replied seriously. The nobility has always been a big headache. He intended to invite both the bourgeoisie and the aristocrats to have a talk at this banquet. As a result, the bourgeoisie gentlemen declined for various reasons, and only these troublesome nobles were left.

A peace talk banquet that was originally planned for reconciliation was pulled down like this. Alexander smiled helplessly in his heart. He knew that he would not have invited Mr. Sun Boyang to come.

"I said Your Highness, look, it's really getting worse and worse now, those businessmen and those officials have been greedy for so much money, and they are all hiding at home, pretending to be poor, and let us pay for it, God Poor thing, we are responsible for various taxes every year and every month, and we don’t know how much we pay!" Count Alama pretended to be pitiful and took the lead to say hypocritically.

"Don't you know how much tax you pay every year?" His Royal Highness Alexander wanted to scold directly like this, but etiquette and reality did not allow this. He could only smile politely, neither objecting nor agreeing.

"In my opinion, Your Highness, you should stop pampering these businessmen and take over their factories for us nobles to control. In this way, these factories can serve the country more professionally in our hands." Another jazz also suggested .

"But aren't these factories serving the kingdom in their hands now?" Alexander asked rhetorically.

"No, they are just making money. If you are thinking about the country, you should give it to us." A jazz retorted.

His Royal Highness Alexander finally understood the meaning of these moths. They just wanted to continue to move their fingers to make money. All national righteousness is fake. In terms of harm to the kingdom, this group of people is more serious than those officials with serious corruption. Horrible, they are the big landlords who directly oppress farmers and other occupations. If factories are handed over to them, the environment will only get worse, not better.

"Let me tell you, in this harsh climate and environment, I know that this proposal is not very good, but I still hope that everyone agrees with the resolution of the lords and nobles to increase the tax rate. I hope that everyone can effectively implement it to help the kingdom. Overcome the difficulties." His Royal Highness Alexander said politely to the nobles.

The nobles all showed embarrassment, and began to talk about him from left to right. His Royal Highness Alexander was helpless. He could take the lead in the charge, come and go freely in the tide of monsters, and he could easily command thousands of troops, but to these cunning nobles in front of him helpless.

He is not a fool, nor is he an idiot who can only dream. He can see the embarrassing situation of the Yongdalim Kingdom very clearly. It is caused by the endless land annexation of these great nobles. For the first time, King Ren gave farmers land and allowed them to keep their own land for cultivation. At that time, the ratio of land ownership between farmers and noble landlords in the entire kingdom was six to four. This was part of the reason why the first king wanted to cancel the noble status of officials. There are not so many lands awarded to so many nobles, and only part of the noble titles can be cancelled.

In the early days of the founding of the country, the land owned by 20 aristocratic landlords and the land owned by 300 million small farmers in the Kingdom of Yongdalim was almost one to one. Now, this ratio has changed from half to half or six to four to two Eighty percent, 20 landlords and the royal family occupy 80.00% of the land in the country, while 300 million small farmers occupy only 20.00%.

We also have to count the poor peasants who accounted for three-tenths of the country's population. They lost their land in the land annexation and became the livestock of the landlord's family. Landlords work in vain all their lives.

Under such circumstances, the people at the bottom of the entire Yongdalim Kingdom are struggling to make a living, and they are fine all year round. Most of the land in the kingdom is in the temperate zone, which is easy to produce and grow food. Even poor farmers can barely make ends meet, but when this kind of disaster comes...

His Royal Highness Alexander very much hoped that these nobles could contribute a little more money to help the country survive this bad year. If possible, he would not mind if businessmen and officials were willing to pay more. No matter how the prince called, I am afraid it would be useless.

The way to understand life at the bottom is very simple. His Royal Highness Alexander only needs to pretend to be a low-ranking officer to chat with the soldiers, and he will soon get complete information. The daily life in the military camp made him more and more worried, and his worries gradually no longer The endless tide of Warcraft, but inside the kingdom, the people's life is difficult.

But he didn't have any good ideas, what else could he do?He is not a king, and it is a bit out of bounds to be able to do this step. What's more, it is useless for him to be a king. The king's authority comes from the support of these nobles. Without the support of these nobles, he will be nothing if he becomes a king. Nor is it.

The cloud is overcast, and he has vaguely seen the outbreak of the war. The bourgeoisie has already controlled many troops in the kingdom, and has the strength to challenge the noble army. If a civil war breaks out, the entire Yongdalim Kingdom may be in danger situation.

Fortunately, the bourgeoisie don't have that kind of plan now. The letter written by Victor Zuoxiang to him this morning is full of hints, hoping that His Highness Alexander will come out to preside over the overall situation. His Highness Alexander wants to smile wryly when he thinks of this. Not dead, what can I preside over the overall situation?

The situation is like a storm, even the prince is like a boat floating in the waves, unable to control himself.

"Master Sun Boyang is here!"

The waiter outside shouted again, interrupting His Royal Highness Alexander's contemplation. Alexander shivered and turned back immediately. He was full of joy. Fortunately, this important Mr. Bourgeoisie came. It seems that the help last night was not in vain , there is always a bit of receipt.

His Royal Highness Alexander was very curious about Sun Boyang. What does such a big businessman who set off a wave of factories in the Kingdom of Yongdalim look like?

Sun Boyang looked at the luxurious white jade pillar, and pressed his octagonal hat. He always dressed like this, not because he was rude or too late to change, but because the luxurious clothes were really...he couldn't accept it. He wore a black suit under the woolen coat. This is the product of his latest clothing store. The clothing store serves workers and provides cheap and convenient clothes, which are very popular among workers. Out of interest, Sun Boyang also asked for a custom-made For such a suit of clothes, it is convenient for his own factory to make them quickly, saving him from the pain of wearing fancy clothes.

"Master, let me keep your coat for you." A waiter outside the hall greeted him. After thinking about it, Sun Boyang took off his octagonal hat and overcoat, and walked inside in a neat suit. It seems that Sun Boyang is not particularly tall and his hairline is a bit back, but he is still very energetic and fits the basic requirements of a handsome uncle.

Sun Boyang stepped into the hall slowly. The hall was resplendent with gold and jewels. Most of the nobles saw him coming, and they either looked at him with disgust or looked at him with hatred. Only a few young people looked at him curiously. Well, Sun Boyang didn't care, if these nobles put a smile on his face, then he would feel scared.

"Your Highness, I wish you good health." Sun Boyang bowed first, and His Highness Alexander rushed up to stop him. This Mr. Sun Boyang is the target he wants to win over. He must maintain his image and must not be rude. .

"Mr. Sun Boyang, you came just in time, and I'm waiting for you." His Royal Highness Alexander said enthusiastically, pulling Sun Boyang's arm.

"I admire your wisdom very much. Why don't you tell me how to open a factory?" His Royal Highness Alexander and Sun Boyang walked among the nobles and started talking.

"Opening a factory? Your Highness, this is just a very simple reason. We just realized standardization and streamlining, and updated the tools of work." Sun Boyang replied lightly.

"You are always very smart, Mr. Sun Boyang." Seeing that Sun Boyang was unwilling to elaborate, His Royal Highness Alexander could only helplessly smile.

"I apologize for what happened last night. Mr. Sun Boyang, the Grand Knights originally received the news that there were pickpockets sneaking in. I didn't expect them to hear it wrong. I apologize for the irrational behavior of the Grand Knights last night. I hope you don't Take it to your heart." His Royal Highness Alexander continued.

"It's nothing His Highness, and we're not angry, it's just that there was an extra show at the party." Sun Boyang replied politely.

"If you really think so, then I'm really happy." His Royal Highness Alexander said with a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, what is the current situation of the battle on the front line?" Sun Boyang asked a different topic.

"It's very bad. The monsters are hitting the border like a tide. We have lost many soldiers. Even Earl Garel was killed in battle." His Royal Highness Alexander's heart became heavy, and he explained to Sun Boyang

"Don't worry my Highness, our arsenal will do its best to replenish the army with equipment, and it will surely survive this cruel winter." Sun Boyang comforted.

"Thank you very much. I am very happy that you can think about the soldiers in the army." His Royal Highness Alexander's favor for Sun Boyang increased again, and he strengthened his opinion in the casual conversation afterwards. Sun Boyang was just as he imagined, He is a firm, kind and upright patriot. This kind of person is a real jazz. If there were not too many nobles around, His Royal Highness Alexander really wanted to call each other friends with Sun Boyang.

"I said, go pick a thorn." Count Alama touched the Viscount Yankika next to him, and asked the Viscount.

"If you don't tell me, I will do the same." Not only Viscount Yangjika, but all the nobles disliked Sun Boyang, a poor commoner who dared to talk about state affairs with a little money, what did he think he was?

"I said, Mr. Sun Boyang!" Viscount Yanjika stood up and walked towards Sun Boyang with a glass of wine.

"Don't you think that in these difficult days, you should take out your own money and help the kingdom through the difficulties?"

ps: I had a sore throat yesterday, which tormented me for a whole day. I am not in good health. I hope you will forgive me.

In addition, in severe cold weather, everyone should keep warm, like Sun Boyang, wear a coat and a hat.

19 tongue war

"Take out my money?" Sun Boyang laughed, he could see what the nobleman was thinking.

"Yes, take out your money, donate it, and tide over the difficulties!" Viscount Yanjika said as it should.

"Of course it is possible." Sun Boyang replied in agreement.

"That's good, I will naturally donate my money, but this money will be under the joint supervision of Victor and I for disaster relief. We will set up a disaster relief association and send officials and my staff to the country Disaster relief in various provinces, and extensive announcements to them, is the spontaneous relief of disasters by businessmen. Oh, yes, we have to guard against the impact of refugees and lawbreakers, so we have to arm a group of employees, it is best to arm them Armor, I think His Royal Highness Alexander will agree."

Sun Boyang looked at Viscount Yangjika with teasing eyes, and said in one breath.

"I..." Viscount Yangjika turned pale and panicked. He didn't expect Sun Boyang's counterattack to be so fierce. If Sun Boyang really did it...

"What Yanjika means is that you give us the money for safekeeping and let us go to disaster relief!" Earl Alama couldn't sit still, he leaned forward to find fault and said.

"For you? Will you build your own manor? Count Alama, let me ask you, why did you order furniture worth nearly [-] gold coins from my furniture store in such a stressful time? And you have already asked us Paid half of the money?!" Sun Boyang countered.

"You are talking nonsense!" Count Alama became angry.

"Nonsense? Do you want me to show you my receipt? As far as I know, the tax you pay every year is probably not half the amount of this money, so why don't you take your money out for disaster relief What?" Sun Boyang questioned loudly.

"I have the right to remain silent. A commoner like you doesn't understand how heavy a burden our nobles have to bear." Earl Alama said speechlessly

"Yes, of course I don't understand." A nameless fire of karma suddenly rose in Sun Boyang's heart.

"Of course I don't understand why a big noble like you is not satisfied after having so much money, why can't he show consideration for the suffering people?" Sun Boyang asked angrily.

"Okay, Mr. Sun Boyang!" Seeing that the situation was not going well, His Royal Highness Alexander hurriedly dissuaded him.

"This is my banquet. If you want to quarrel, you can go out and quarrel. I hope everyone will be kind and give me face." His Royal Highness Alexander said in a deep voice.

Seeing that they couldn't suppress Sun Boyang's momentum, the nobles shook their heads helplessly and started chatting in twos and threes. Anyway, Sun Boyang is just a businessman, even if he can sell weapons, he can't make any trouble.

The current leader of the bourgeoisie, Victor Zuoxiang, is the real tough guy.

"Please forgive the rudeness of these people, Mr. Sun Boyang."

His Royal Highness Alexander sighed helplessly. Sure enough, it was difficult for the nobles to reach a reconciliation with the merchants. Things were bound to happen if this continued, but what could he do?I heard that my father plans to summon new heroes to suppress the bourgeoisie. If this continues, even if the problem can be resolved, many people will die.

His Royal Highness Alexander very much does not want to go to that point, and can only do his best to ease and ease the conflicts between the two sides. Wars will kill people, especially wars against one's own people.

"Your Highness, to be honest, you shouldn't have chosen to invite me this time. I can visit alone that day." Sun Boyang sat down with His Highness Alexander and talked.

"It's not that I didn't expect things to turn out like this." His Royal Highness Alexander stroked his beard, also looking helpless.

"If there is a strong conflict of interest, it is destined to be like this." Sun Boyang said while wringing his fingers.

"If the conflict of interest is less than a limit acceptable to everyone, then people are willing to sit down and talk and share the interests together. If the interest is equal to the limit acceptable to everyone, then everyone will try their best to form a peaceful situation. If the interest If it is much larger than that limit, then both sides will actively seek to eat each other and wipe out each other." Sun Boyang enlightened this prince who is good at fighting.

"Your explanation is really thorough." His Royal Highness Alexander listened carefully to Sun Boyang's explanation, hoping to seek useful help.

"What about you? Mr. Sun Boyang, you are not like those businessmen. You have a thorough understanding, and you seem to know all of this well?" His Royal Highness Alexander leaned forward and asked

"This is the inevitability of historical development." Sun Boyang thanked the waiter for the black tea.

"Your Highness, if you look at the past, look at the annual grain production and handicraft production of the Yongdalim Kingdom in the past, and then compare the previous traffic with the current traffic and everything that can be compared, you will find , The environment we live in today has changed a lot from hundreds of years ago. With the continuous improvement of production force, new frameworks and changes are inevitable.” Sun Boyang stroked the tea leaves in the black tea with a spoon and said

"What you said makes sense." His Royal Highness Alexander nodded in agreement.

"With the changes of the times, you should properly control the power and fiefdoms of the nobles. This will also benefit your future. You can control other provinces more efficiently and complete the national scheduling." Sun Boyang suggested in a low voice.

"Then who should be reused? The bourgeoisie?" His Royal Highness Alexander also asked in a low voice.

"The bourgeoisie must be dismantled, businessmen are businessmen, and officials are officials. Only in this way can you truly and effectively make the country progress."

"Then who should my power come from? In this way, the nobles will not agree with me, and neither will the bourgeoisie. It is destined to be just a bubble." Alexander shook his head slightly and did not agree with Sun Boyang's proposal.

"From the people." Sun Boyang whispered these two words.

"people?"

"Yes, the people. That is, workers, peasants, handicraftsmen, servants, low-level soldiers, and all the people who have been exploited by nobles and businessmen." Sun Boyang looked at it poorly and threw out his own point of view.

"Think about it, is this country formed by a group of 20 landlords, nobles and big businessmen and officials? Obviously not, it is farmers and workers who make up this country."

Sun Boyang's words seemed to wake up His Royal Highness Alexander. He suddenly realized that the real constituents of this country are nearly 4000 million farmers and workers. Although they have no ability to speak out, it does not mean that they do not exist... …

But what's the use of knowing, His Royal Highness Alexander's eyes dimmed again, yes, the people at the bottom are indeed a force to be reckoned with, but now, can they resist nobles and businessmen?

No one can, the wheels are rolling forward, definitely not him alone can change this situation.

What's more, he was born in the royal family, and he is destined to be the next king. It is difficult to get in touch with the 4000 million people at the bottom. If the king's decree can't even be passed on to the palace, the blueprint Sun Boyang described to him now is just a delusion.

"You are the real patriot." His Royal Highness Alexander said to Sun Boyang with admiration.

"You are the real knight, the one who really cares about the kingdom of Yongdalim. If possible, I really want to win a knighthood for you."

"No, that's not necessary." Sun Boyang declined with a smile.

"Your Highness, you have to be careful, there will be, the disaster year will get better, and the Yongdalim Kingdom will find a way out."

"As long as I am still alive, Mr. Sun Boyang, I will protect your safety and prevent you from being persecuted." His Royal Highness Alexander made up his mind to win over Sun Boyang.

"I hope you can give me some advice. I have fought wars all year round, I am stupid, and I am not very good at these intrigues. You can always look at everything from an outsider's perspective. I hope you can help me." His Royal Highness Alexander said sincerely.

In his heart, the image of Sun Boyang is very tall, a firm and selfless patriotic businessman who never seeks personal gain for himself, is smart and wise, and a farmer with a heart of bravery, who sincerely wants to help him make the country progress.

Such a person is a standard virtuous minister!His Royal Highness Alexander was very excited about this, thinking that at least he had found a treasure, he had found Wang Zuozhi's talent!

"My lord, as long as you need, I will help you at any time." Sun Boyang got up and said.

He didn't know what His Royal Highness Alexander was thinking, but it was probably those things. His Royal Highness didn't understand the situation at all. There is no reconciliation, His Royal Highness Alexander fantasizes that he can mediate and maintain the situation. The nobles are fantasizing that they can completely defeat the bourgeoisie and swallow their property in one go, while the bourgeoisie is hoping that the king will recognize their status. Let them develop step by step and restrain the nobles.

But the fact is, it only takes one sign, and this flame will burn quickly. Soon, the nobles and the old king will try to sweep the bourgeoisie with thunder, and the power of the bourgeoisie is not so easily swept away. Yes, they will fight back and fight an unprecedented war. A civil war that will shake the entire Yongdalim is about to break out. At that time, either the nobles will succeed in their difficult suppression. His Royal Highness Alexander, who is biased towards the bourgeoisie, if the bourgeoisie wins the final victory, under that kind of ending, the desire of the bourgeoisie will start to expand, and the existence of the royal family will become dispensable. A strong king, is unnecessary.

This is a dead end, an unsolvable dead end.

Sun Boyang still has a regretful attitude towards His Highness Alexander. If the day of cleaning comes, he will use his own strength to protect His Highness who loves the people at the bottom.

And now, he can only move forward in the tide of this era, being ensnared.

20 to the country

"Old man! Stop, stop! Can you drop by the village of Ulinori?" Migucci was carrying a big bag, wearing a clean woolen coat and work pants, and waved to the old man who was driving in a donkey cart outside the city gate. .

The old man was dressed in a thick coat, with a pipe hanging from his mouth, and beside him was an old man who was about his age driving a cart. It seemed that he was a small landlord...

"Come on, it's barely on the way." The old man put out the cigarette holder, looked at Mi Gaoqi carefully and said.

"Shall I make room for you?" the old man asked, intending to squeeze.
