Chapter 527 Territorial Requirements

Marshal Bolonique and General Scrie, as well as the selected members of the parliament, set off for the capital two days later, and Crowd sent an independent reinforcements of the Thunder Corps all the way. They must not only protect the safety of parliamentarians, but also ensure the safety of the 60 large iron-wood boxes filled with King Krona during the trip.

On the other side of the capital, it is said that Her Majesty the King and Minister Wang Ting were eager to see the arrival of overseas self-governing congressmen, and have long sharpened their knives to wait for the arrival of the fat sheep. Sources have revealed that the kingdom's nobles who are relatively wealthy or can afford to pay for the Jinjue fee and land selection fee have basically obtained hereditary clan territory from His Majesty.

Although there are a lot of nobles who are still stranded in the capital, they are the ones whose homes are broken or even unable to collect money. The ordinary usury lenders will not lend them, mainly because they do not have the ability and credibility to pay their debts. At present, although there are nearly 900 kingdom aristocrats who have acquired hereditary family territories in the Nasseri area, because of the relationship between the relationship and the discount, or even the royal relatives waived the cost, the income of His Majesty and the Treasury is not as originally thought So optimistic.

Coupled with the cost of regaining the dominance of the Red Dragon Army and the Griffon Army, and the compensation for the loss of the old noble family forces in these years of war, the fiscal revenue of the treasury has been eased and it is no longer in a financial crisis. . But there is still a big gap in terms of funding to implement the economic revival plan of the Kingdom submitted by the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Marquis Blanchard.

In addition, Her Majesty Christie, King of Frederick I, took about five million kronor of cash from the royal treasury and the treasury for lending. At the same time, she hoped that Her Majesty promised her to rebuild the palace and repair it. The rich Frederick I who had the money in his hand made a big splash and the state treasury lost another two million gold crowns for the repair of the palace. Prime Minister Blanchard was so mad that spending so much money was no longer repair, but almost a renovation ...

Nearly 900 territorial aristocrats have not received the promotion fees and land selection fees as much as His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister had imagined. Quite simply, more than 500 of them are hereditary nobles bestowed by the Kingdom of Ovilas for more than 300 years. Although the Battle of the Revival Kingdom of Sterling IX cut off and hanged most of hereditary nobles, so much has been passed down. In this hereditary clan possession, they only need to pay a land selection fee to get a clan possession.

It is just that Her Majesty has only seized land selection fees of more than 20 million kronor from them. The reason is also simple. Royal relatives and blood-related nobles of the kingdom are exempt from land selection fees. This is a preferential treatment. The rest are the kingdom's old aristocratic family powers. They have no credit or hard work for the kingdom. They must be discounted. His Majesty the King has to give it.

In addition to the hereditary aristocracy of these kingdoms, these are the third aristocrats. They only need to pay the promotion fee and land selection fee for the promotion from the third aristocracy to the hereditary aristocracy. They also have a discount on the relationship and the relationship, but His Majesty has no other face And intercede, lest you avoid receiving more than 10 million kronor in cash from them.

Finally, there are more than two hundred honorable nobles who have received the conferred territories. This should have been the main source of the pockets and treasury income of the hereditary family territories. As a result, most of the honorable nobles borrowed money from Her Majesty Queen Christie, turning her left hand to her right hand. Although nearly 40 million kronor funds were registered in the account book, the cash income combined was less than 20 million. King Kronor, the remaining money registered in the books can only be slowly collected and repaid later.

For King Frederick I and Marquis Blanchard, the Prime Minister, the funds they had received in excess of 50 million kronor were already a great fortune they had never heard of. Thinking about the debt war of eight million kronor and the kingdom of Nasiri, and the crisis of the kingdom almost dying because of the alliance army, both of them have a feeling of grief ... ..

It is just that Her Majesty the King and the Prime Minister have not sobered up from the joy of receiving the funds, and creditors from various quarters have waited in line. The first is arrears of military expenditures and official salaries, followed by various owes borrowed by the former Sterling XI and the current Frederick I from the kingdom aristocracy, as well as arrears and reimbursement of royal palace and royal court logistics purchases, etc. Wait......

If you have money, you will be more generous. Your Majesty made a big swipe, and nearly ten million kronor was gone. Then the Prime Minister of the Kingdom reminded His Majesty that military power should be held tightly in his hands. Therefore, the military expenditure of 10 million kronor was allocated to the Kingdom Army, and immediately began the reorganization and reconstruction of the three major field trump corps in the Kingdom, and cleared away a large number of unqualified noble children who entered the Kingdom army through the back door, making these three corps Under the jurisdiction of the Sterling royal family.

Finally, the old aristocratic family forces and His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister met to discuss their plans for His Majesty the Kingdom and their compensation for the losses they suffered during the war. After discussing the satisfactory results of both parties, His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister found that the remaining funds in their hands were less than 10 million kronor.

This is also the main reason why the Prime Minister distressed the King with a large sum of money and paid two million yuan to repair the palace construction funds. However, the royal palace has experienced several wars from the former King Sterling X to the present, and it really looks very dilapidated and unrefined. It is really necessary to repair and rebuild it. The Prime Minister is no longer willing to stop the wishes of His Majesty the King and Queen. He can only find another way to get the funds needed for the Kingdom's economic revival.

Hundreds of honorable aristocrats who were still stranded by the capital were poor eggs, and they usually relied on the title of kingdom aristocracy to eat and drink everywhere. No one could be found when the kingdom was in crisis, but they saw their dangling figures everywhere when it was good. Just as the news of Her Majesty's conferring hereditary family territories this time, almost all honorable nobles across the country ran to the king. They knew they had no money but still wanted to come to the king to try their luck, maybe they could find an investor to mix up the territory or something.

Prime Minister Blanchard has heard of several examples of this, that is, there are rich civilians investing in the glorious nobles of the kingdom. Choose a few from them to pay the Jinjue fee and land selection fee for them, and choose a few good hereditary family lands. Let those aristocrats who have been promoted to hereditary baron of the kingdom top them and serve as delicious, delicious and fun waiters. As for the land under seal, it was handed over to civilian wealthy businessmen ...

Two ministers wanted to punish the kingdom's nobles and wealthy merchants, but they were stopped by Prime Minister Blanchard. His current idea is not to care about what the aristocratic face of the kingdom has been thrown away from, but to want to spend more on the king's fees and land selection costs for the economic revival of the kingdom. Some people invest better than no one. With so many honorable nobles in the Kingdom of Ovilas, many of them fell from hereditary nobles.

From hereditary aristocracy to the third aristocracy to the honorary aristocracy, one generation is not as good as the next, and the title of aristocracy remains outstanding. When it comes to honoring the nobles, basically, his children have become civilians, which is also a way of surviving the fittest among the nobles of the kingdom. This time Her Majesty ’s conferring hereditary clan territory is the best time for all the kingdom ’s nobles. If such an opportunity is not seized, it means that there is no need for rescue.

His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister are now paying attention to those members of the Overseas Dominion and the honorable nobles of the Kingdom, as well as the newly conferred Jinjue officers, hoping that they will come to the king earlier to pay the Jinjue fee and land selection fee. Enrich your personal pockets and national treasury to make due contributions. Overseas dominions were so rich that the Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps fought in the countries of the eastern part of the mainland. It is said that the trophies seized alone had tens of millions of kronor.

This is the real big fat sheep, a good target for slaughter. His Majesty the King even agreed with the Prime Minister that this time there must be no human relations to say, for official business, how much you have to pay for the promotion and land selection fees. Because they have already calculated it, it is entirely possible to raise huge funds of more than 50 million kronor from the overseas self-government congressmen, Jinjue officers and honorable nobles, so that the Prime Minister will have no worry about lack of funds and can implement the Kingdom Revival. Economic construction plan ...

Only two months have passed, and the overseas dominion has been quiet. Even the Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps, deployed in the Royal City of Polynesia, have no interest in hereditary clan territory conferred by Her Majesty. The kingdom aristocrats who obtained the territories led a large group of people through the royal city of Polydivia to their respective territories, silently watching the increasing number of noble territories in the 28 local counties in the whole Nasseri region.

Just when Her Majesty the King and the Prime Minister confuse Claude of the Thunder Corps, Marshal Bolonick and General Beechklin, why did n’t they come to the king first to receive a hereditary family land, seeing that the Nasseri area can still be regarded as a good hereditary family There are not many places in the territory, and I am going to find someone who is vague to remind Claude that when they first come first served, there is news that the Thunder Corps is going to the Kanas prairie ...

Alas, what does the Thunder Corps want to do, even if you move the army, you should first say hello to Wang Du's Army! However, with the rumours of horse bandits from the Kansas Prairie, Her Majesty the King and the Prime Minister were relieved. The unit that was originally stationed in the Thunder Regiment in the Kannas area was unable to cope with the rampant horse bandits. They were more than adequate, not aggressive enough, and had to ask for reinforcements.

Then came the information that the members of the overseas dominion under the **** of the armored fleet went to Beibu Gulf to meet with Claude and others to hold a meeting. His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister finally laughed happily. As long as it is not these overseas self-governing councillors and honorable aristocrats, and officers of Jinjue are not interested in the hereditary family land conferred by Her Majesty the King, then the kingdom's royal fee and land selection fee are settled.

After a few days of patience, I finally got the news that overseas autonomous congressmen and officers of Jinjue set off for the capital. It is said that there were escorts from the Light Corps of the Thunder Corps, and a large transport accompanied them. The team seemed to carry heavy goods. But the security was so tight that the agents had no way of knowing what was on the carriage.

His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister began to wait patiently for the arrival of overseas autonomous consul members and officers of Jinjue. By the way, they sharpened the knife in their hands and prepared to slaughter the fat sheep. But it turned out that the pedestrians who came to Wangdu didn't seem to be in a hurry. They didn't say anything about travelling all the way, and every town they were passing had a day to rest, allowing those members of parliament to specialize in local products. And price survey ...

Wang Ting's ministers were ridiculing that these MPs from overseas autonomous territories were all buns. They had never seen the market and thought that good hereditary family lands were everywhere. Even if you pay the Jinjue fee, your Majesty the King will surely give you a desolate, barren land that no one wants, otherwise how will you charge your land loss fee! When the capital was granted and the land was conferred, he would understand this involuntary truth. There was no good place in the entire Nasseri area.

The convoy of parliamentarians from overseas dominions traveled a total of twenty-three days to reach the capital. The Prime Minister, Marquis Blanchard, personally greeted him. Marshal Bolonick was indifferent, but the parliamentarians from overseas dominions were flattered by this high-standard reception. You're welcome, I'm ashamed. However, Prime Minister Blanchard was very kind. He did not greet members of Parliament with a bit of humility, but his eyes were carefully examined, as if it was better to figure out where to cut the sword ...

The welcoming ceremony and the reception party on the first day were very enjoyable and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After a day of rest, on the third day I saw His Majesty the King, General Bolognik represented the Overseas Autonomous Territory, and Speaker Bennett presented precious gifts to King Frederick I and Queen Christie respectively. Thanks again and again to His Majesty the King for granting the Dominion congressmen the honor of the Baron of Honor of the Kingdom. His Majesty the King and the Queen have had cordial and friendly talks with the Dominion congressmen and officers of the Jinjue army.

At noon, His Majesty also gave a luncheon, welcomed the arrival of overseas Dominion congressmen and officers of Jinjue, and thanked the overseas Dominion for encountering powerful enemies in the Kingdom, and for all the efforts made by the Alliance Army when they trampled on the Kingdom. Dedication. It is just that the King and Her Majesty regret not being able to enjoy this lunch together. After leaving the speech, they left one step away, leaving only the Prime Minister Blanchard to accompany these buns to enjoy the lunch given by Her Majesty the King.

After lunch, the members of Parliament and Jinjue who came to see him, accompanied by the Prime Minister, toured the garden in the palace, and then left the palace. At this point, the overseas autonomous consular members and officers of the Jinjue army came to the king to thank His Majesty the King for giving the title of knighthood, and his Majesty the King and the Prime Minister were waiting for these overseas soil buns to come to consult About hereditary clan territory ...

Only to the surprise of Frederick I and Prime Minister Blanchard, in the next five or six days, none of the members of the Overseas Dominion came to ask hereditary family territories. Instead, they visited relatives and relatives in Wangdu, and handed over the capital. Various commercial banks in the business circle, understand the business opportunities, and even reached a number of commercial agreements with several large commercial banks, set a lot of merchandise trade orders.

The Prime Minister Blancarte was so anxious to wait, that the soil buns of these overseas dominions managed to make a trip to the king, but they were all busy doing business, were they not so interested in hereditary family territories? This is not possible. In the kingdom, having a noble title is of great help in business and will have great priority. Don't they understand that there are three types of aristocracy, and their status as the Baron of Honor is the lowest and most useless?

I just heard that President Henderman of the Overseas Dominion Mining and Business Association sponsored Wangdu ’s most luxurious White Swan Hotel to hold a thank-you banquet tonight, and thanked friends in Wangdu ’s business circle for their help to the office of the association over the years. And cooperation. So Prime Minister Blanchard invited a friend of President Hendman's businessmen, Wang Du, and asked him to remind President Hendman at this banquet that there is no opportunity to stop, and he should take advantage of the gift issued by His Majesty the King. During the validity of the ban, first get yourself a family place that can be inherited ...

Then Prime Minister Blanchard anxiously waited until eleven o'clock in the evening. The drunk businessman who came to report came and said that he had mentioned to herditary family territory with President Hendman, but President Hendman smiled. He patted him on the shoulder, thanking him for his reminder and kindness. The only problem is that the rest of the kingdom's Nasri area is not what they like from the overseas autonomous congressmen, so they decide not to have hereditary family territory.

Don't take possession of the land, how can this work, the kingdom is looking forward to scraping money from you, so that you leave the king penniless and return to the overseas dominion, that is the lifelong shame of his prime minister! Blanchard first entered the palace at night and made a report to Frederick I. The two discussed until dawn and finally gritted their teeth. They first asked the parliamentarians of these overseas dominions what they liked and promised them if they could, as long as they could Scrape off the fat!

So Prime Minister Blanchard got a map of the Kanas area, and the Prime Minister was instantly ecstatic: "It was originally planned, and even the region number has been set on it, which region is conferred. The list is made for whoever made the territory. The soil buns of these overseas dominions are really old-fashioned, but I thought they were really not interested in hereditary family territories and almost fooled ... "

But when this map of the Kannas area appeared in front of Frederick I and the Minister, His Majesty the King didn't say a word, the Ministers exploded: "This is unfair, Your Majesty. You have said that, The closed place is limited to the Nasseri area, excluding the Kanas prairie and Beibu Gulf, otherwise it would have been taken away by the kingdom aristocracy as family territory.

If we agree with the requirements of these self-governing territories, the authority of His Majesty the King will be criticized among the kingdom aristocracy. I am afraid that more people will not take His Majesty's orders in the eyes in the future! "

Prime Minister Blanchard's face is bitter, and he doesn't want to speak for the soil buns of the overseas dominions, but these soil buns have already said that if they don't agree with their demands, it will pull everything down, and they don't want hereditary family territory. For money, he now has to speak up for these overseas dumplings and argue fiercely with his colleagues.

In the end, His Majesty the King agreed to the territorial requirements of the overseas dominion coldly, but he requested that the land selection fee be doubled ...
