Chapter 524 Choice and Holding a Group for Heating

"Have you designed your family crest?" Crowd asked, looking at the crests of the nobles of the territories on the Nasseri area map.

Marshal Bolognik walked to Claude, looked at the map, and sighed: "Someone has designed it, a formal three spares, and when the king is registered, he will have to check to avoid following The family emblems of other nobles overlap. But I think there is always one of these four badges that can be used. If it doesn't work, then try to find a way. If the price is too high, ask the person in the Royal Family Registry to get one for me. ... "

Claude laughed: "Don't worry, you are a hereditary Viscount, you can engraved the lower part of the family crest, which is more conspicuous than the bare family crests around the hereditary baron. As for the symbol, Plants and mountains, sun, moon, and stars can choose a pattern you like, even if you are the same as others, you can deform the pattern, and it is different from others. You see, those cows on the map are selected as family crests. There are thirteen, but they all look different. "

"Well, I chose the pattern of the Musketeer." Marshal Bolonick said, "The soldier who aimed with the musket was in memory of my first battlefield experience when I was young. It also reminded my future generations that their ancestors It was a civilian soldier who was not much more noble than anyone else. It was through his own efforts that he gained his status today, and gained the title and territory ... "

Claude rolled his eyes on the spot: "Pull it down, you graduated from the military school of the Wang family is the rank of second lieutenant, what kind of civilian soldier origin. What a civilian origin is not fake, but to be a soldier also said himself too miserable. Who would have a second lieutenant in the queue of soldiers attack the enemy's position? I have had such an experience, but with luck I survived ... "

Marshal Bolonick shook his head with a smile: "I really had the experience of holding a musket to line up with the soldiers towards the enemy's defensive position. I remember that the attack involved more than 800 people and finally captured the enemy's position and survived. There are less than three hundred. I am very lucky. Like you, I am one of the surviving officers and soldiers.

In fact, the enemy had a large defensive force in that position, but they defeated the eight offensives of our two battalions, and most of the soldiers fell on the offensive path. If it weren't for their artillery and ammunition, the four light infantry field artillery were dumbed by three, maybe our attack would have failed. By the way, how many territories are on the map now? "

"Nearly six hundred ...." Claude picked up a folder near the table and opened it for a few glances. "As of yesterday, the registered hereditary baronial kingdom had 450 Six, sixty-one hereditary viscounts of the kingdom, forty-three hereditary counts, seventeen hereditary marquis, and three hereditary dukes. There are 580 noble hereditary territories, and I do n’t know if they have increased today. of......"

Marshal Bolonick was a little envious: "These noble families should be considered rich, and they took the best place in the Nasseri area as family territory ..."

"The best place in the Nasseri area should be considered as the current part of the royal city of Borisia and the surrounding area, but Her Majesty and the Royal Court will never take it out. These nobles who have already acquired hereditary territory are also very Knowledge, will not force Wang Cheng to be a family domain. They are very clear that even the high land selection fee will not agree, and will even question his loyalty, so no one will choose here. "Claude Say.

"They both paid?" Marshal Bolonick asked curiously.

Claude nodded: "Yes, at least 100,000 kronor land selection fee. The news from Wangdu said that His Majesty and Wang Ting overturned, and Neku and Treasury suddenly added tens of millions of kronor. . It is said that Her Majesty also took out the money in the internal bank to lend to the honorable nobles and national councillors who could not collect the Jin Jie fee and the land selection fee. In addition, there are news that the Jin Jie fee and the land loss fee can be used in harmony with His Majesty Pull relationships for a discount ...

Most of the 580 kingdom aristocrats who have acquired hereditary territories today are hereditary nobles. They only need to pay a land selection fee of 100,000 kronor to obtain a satisfactory hereditary territory. The rest are rich honorable nobles and III nobles. They paid the promotion fee to promote themselves to hereditary baron, and paid the land selection fee to obtain the family hereditary territory. It is estimated that Her Majesty and Wang Ting have received nearly 30 million kronor in revenue from these two charges.

Now the kings are said to have seven or eight hundred kingdom aristocrats who have not yet obtained their territories. They are all the third nobles and honor nobles. If you think about it, Your Majesty granted all members of the National Assembly the status of Baron of Honor, and at once, the Kingdom added more than 300 Baron of Honor. At present, all these honorable barons are raising money in order to obtain a family hereditary territory from Her Majesty. Her Majesty's money lending business has done well. This hand lends out and the hand is taken back. "

These were all intelligence gathered by the spies in the overseas capital ’s office in Wangdu, and they reported these rumors circulating on the streets of Wangdu. Of course, the fact that Her Majesty the Queen lends money to the King is almost semi-public, and many people know it. When Claude saw it, he said a few words, but he did not say envy, envy, hate ...

It was just that Marshal Bolonick did not want to criticize the right and wrong of the royal family behind him. He shifted the topic: "Claude, if all the nobles of the kingdom have a family territory, will the entire Nasseri area be distributed? Done? "

Claude shook his head: "It's not possible. Even hereditary princes occupy only half of the county's territory, and those kingdoms' hereditary barons have a village. Fortunately, they can occupy a small town. Central Nasseri Sixteen local counties, five counties in the northeast and seven counties in the southwest, as well as the royal city of Polynesia and the surrounding territories, the entire area is not much smaller than the mainland.

At present, there are 580 kingdom nobles scattered in these 28 local counties, and the territory they occupy is only a quarter of the entire Nasseri area. And the seven or eight hundred kingdom aristocrats in the capital are only promoted to hereditary barons at most, and their combined territories are at least as large as those of the 580 kingdom aristocrats, and there should be half of the Nasseri area. The land is left to be sealed by His Majesty, or left to us by the members of the Overseas Self-Governing Council and our generals who have been honoured for military service ... "

Marshal Bolonick was a bit dismissive: "Those territories that have been picked by others are given to us, and there is no good place for our overseas dominion ..."

Claude smiled bitterly: "If you and I first choose a good place to be our hereditary family territory, what do you think of Allen, Beek and Scree, what do the parliamentarians in the Overseas Dominion think, we What do the generals who are honorary nobles in the new kingdom think? Will they still believe that we take us to the top? Maybe His Majesty and Wang Ting would like us to do this. Without the overseas dominion, you think there are still people who take us Is it the same thing? "

Marshal Bolonick was silent, and this was also his embarrassment. Without the Rock Corps, he would not be a Marshal of the Kingdom, which is one of the two major legions of overseas dominions. And if he is separated from the overseas dominion, no one will look at him, whether he is the Marshal of the Kingdom or the hereditary Viscount of the Kingdom, because he has the status and status of today because of the overseas dominion.

"Wait a month, and when the Iron Armored Fleet escorts the Dominion ’s legislators to Froric ’s harbour in September, we will also set off for Pastor City, the capital of the Beibu Gulf. At that time, all our members of the Dominion of the Overseas Dominion and obtain The kingdom ’s honorary noble general will hold a meeting there to discuss how to deal with His Majesty ’s conferred family territory. Speaker Bennett has written to tell me that he hopes we can unite and not give Wang Ting all the broken Opportunity, self-defeating ... "

Claude stretched his arms around Marshal Bolognik's shoulders, and of course only he was qualified to do so: "No one could have expected this to happen before we sent troops, and His Majesty caught us overseas by surprise. Scree Write a letter telling us, let's not act lightly, it is best that we all go through the crisis together. Didn't he warn us in the letter? If this response to missteps leads to bad results, it may even make the entire overseas dominion even Disintegration. It's the hardest thing to get back together and recover. "

Marshal Bolonick smiled and patted Claude's hand on his shoulder, pointing at the map of the Nasseri region with the kingdom's aristocratic family crest on the wall: "I understand what you said, just a little bit The good places are not our turn. All the recognized rich and productive places in the Nasseri region have now become the land of owners. As the lords of these places, they can earn a lot of income without effort.

Look at the areas where the seven small and medium-sized gold, silver and copper mining bases are located, and they were immediately marked with the family crests of the old noble families in the kingdom. It is said that now they have sent people to stay on the mine, to liquidate our daily ore mining volume, and we will take over after the half-year mining period expires next month. I even sent a messenger privately to ask me if we could sell some Hicks prisoners to them and continue to be miners ... "

The seven small and medium-sized gold, silver, and copper mining bases overseas dominions obtained six-year mining rights, because the Nasseri area was to be conferred by His Majesty as a noble territory, so Claude was too lazy to assign those captured 100,000. Yu Hicks prisoners did the labor to repair the national highway traffic, excavate and repair the irrigation canals, but chose some of them to go to the seven small and medium-sized gold, silver and copper mining bases, and the rest were in Wangcheng and The surrounding area is busy.

The production of gold, silver and copper mines in the first five months was not bad. Because the corrupt officials in the Nasser Kingdom did not make any reports, the ore production of these seven small and medium-sized gold, silver and copper mines was very good. Unexpected. Almost more than double the registration on the books of the former Nasri Kingdom. According to this calculation, in fact, the gold and silver reserves produced in a year can reach more than 3 million kronor. Only gold and silver reserves worth 1.4 million kronor and copper coin minting income were registered.

It is conceivable that the officials of the former Nasri Kingdom who handled these gold, silver and copper mines almost corrupted more than half of these mines, but now they are cheaper than the Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps. The gold, silver and copper mines produced by the mining rights in this half of the year were used as the garrison funds for the two legions, and only 200,000 gold crowns were required to be handed to Wang Ting and the treasury. The ore that was thought to have been mined for half a year can also make up for the gold and silver reserves worth hundreds of thousands of dollars that were taken away by the envoy. As a result, I have just discovered that I have earned a lot and gained nearly one million gold crowns ... ..

The reason for Marshal Bolonick's unhappiness is here. The Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps have a mining period of only half a year. Now that the seven noble small and medium-sized gold, silver and copper mining bases are in place, the aristocracy is in place. It will wait for the opening of the next month to take over these mineral bases. Afterwards, these minerals will belong to their hereditary family land. Although it is also necessary to hand in half to the kingdom, it is still based on the book records of the former Nasri Kingdom. In the future, the nobles of these territories will have two or three times the mineral income.

"Don't forget that most of our overseas dominions are gold and silver mineral resources," Claude reminded. Banknotes are used for small transactions in overseas dominions. According to statistics, about 30 million kronor worth of small denomination banknotes are circulated to the people, and a large part of them are used in the colonies of West Coast countries.

However, the West Coast colonies do not allow overseas dominion banks of overseas dominions to open branches in their colonies. However, gold, silver, and copper coins can be exchanged for these banknotes in commercial banks established by overseas dominions, so banknotes are becoming more and more accessible in the West Coast colonies.

The kingdom's native White Deer City allowed overseas Minsheng Banks to open a branch, but Wang did not, but Wang Du's office played a role of a branch, which could be exchanged for banknotes, gold, silver and copper coins. It is just that the people in Wangdu do not trust the banknotes very much. Except for the merchants who travel to and from White Deer City, it is difficult to promote the application of banknotes among the people in Wangdu.

It is ridiculous that in the overseas dominion, they are too lazy to mine the gold and silver mineral resources in the Rocky Mountain State after being used to banknotes. After all, the overseas Minsheng Bank's gold and silver reserves have 20 million kronor, which can fully deal with the exchange of banknotes. After the Thunder Army and the Rock Army killed the Nasseri Kingdom and the Principality of Kanas, they transported a large amount of the gold and silver belongings they had seized back to the overseas dominion, and forgot to leave some more as an emergency. It was found here that the supply of the purchasing army was best to be real gold, silver and copper coins, and no one wanted to collect paper money.

That's why Marshal Bolonick is so concerned about the production of these gold, silver and copper mines. More than 100,000 horses of the two regiments are stationed here. The funds to go out every day to purchase are not a small amount. The logistics of fresh meat fish, vegetables and fruits The purchases cost thousands of crowns per month. After taking over these duties, General Bolognik regretted that he was too generous. He should not have the envoys of the Kingdom take away so much gold and silver reserves. Looking at the current royal library and royal court, they have the most money.

"None of the Hicks captives can be sold to these kingdom aristocrats. After our parliamentarians from overseas dominions have negotiated, maybe we need these captives to develop our new territories," said Claude.

On the first day of June 6th, the Holy Light calendar, Frederick I of the Kingdom of Ovilas officially issued a grant order approved by the aristocracy and the National Assembly to grant hereditary aristocracy to the newly occupied Nasseri region. Family territory. As of August 1, 580 kingdom nobles had acquired hereditary family territory.

However, the kingdom aristocrats from overseas dominions have been silent and seem to have never heard of this decree. The main reason for this is that the overseas dominion is too far from the kingdom, and it takes two months to go back and forth. The two regiments of the Dominion District are stationed in the Nasseri region and the Kanas region. They cannot return to the Dominion overseas within a short period of time. Therefore, the members of the Overseas Dominion Council decided to go to the Beibu Gulf in Kanas region. The city of Sterling holds a conference to discuss the grant of the order.

Marshal Claude and Marshal Bolonique left the Royal City of Boricia on August 20 and led the Thunder Corps to Beibu Bay. The reason for taking the troops to prepare for the reorganization in Beibu Gulf, General Abbott wrote to Claude for help. After the demise of the Principality of Kanners, countless horse bandits appeared on the Prairie of Kanners, with large and small groups, often attacking the towns guarded by the Thunder Corps. General Albert had only a temporary division on hand, and it was his best effort to guard the area of ​​Beibu Gulf.

The Rock Legion continued to be stationed in the royal city of Polynesia, and Crowde took away all the captives and excess armaments. News from Wangdu said that Wang Ting, who had money on hand, cooperated with the Kingdom Army and began to reorganize the Guards, Red Dragon, and Griffins. It is said that His Majesty compensated the old noble family forces in these three major legions, and re-owned the Red Dragon Legion and Griffon Legion under the control of Wang Ting and the Kingdom Army.

A large part of the kingdom ’s old aristocratic family members who have acquired hereditary family territories have retired from the three major legions of the kingdom. They have gathered their relatives and children in the kingdom ’s army, and used them to form the private armies of their families, and even the old The influence of the aristocratic family was greatly reduced in these three legions, and His Majesty and Wang Ting paid a high price for this.

There are rumors in the king that the Red Dragon Army will be dispatched to the Naseli area after the reorganization, and will be stationed in the Royal City of Boricia to replace the Thunder Army and the Rock Army. The Gryphon Corps will be stationed in the Odin Mountains as the Mountain Corps, guarding the east gate of the kingdom. The Guards Corps remained behind both the King and Ibinist Plains. It is also reported that Her Majesty also wants to re-establish the Blue Feather Army to be used to station White Deer City and the coastal areas, but has been opposed by many ministers of the court. They think the Blue Feather Army is rebellious and should not be re-established ... .
