Heroes of Silver Moon Chapter 657

Simon walked out of the space ripples, and the teleportation went smoothly this time.

"Simon, you're back!" Deborah, who was working in the study, was startled at first, and then stood up happily. Now she finally has the backbone...

"Well, is there anything wrong with the territory?" Simon asked casually.

Although he is a king, this kingdom belongs to Willy's royal family, not to him. His real foundation is the new law.

"There's nothing wrong with the territory, it's just that it's hard to get the armament Harris needs at the moment." Deborah sighed helplessly.

The new legal domain is a lord's private domain. Even if the lord is also the king, the two still have to be distinguished, and it is impossible to always give blood to the new legion.

The unlimited supply of armaments in the past few months has already overwhelmed the territory's finances.

"Don't worry about this, I will build a new military factory in the northern border in a few days, and now there is an important matter for you to do." Simon said with a serious face.

"You say." Deborah also immediately became serious. He knew that unless it was a particularly important matter, Simon would never be so deep.

"Lead the barbarian slaves of the new law to open up towns in the southern border that can accommodate 400,000 people, and cultivate farmland and sow spring wheat." Simon said seriously.

"Is it for the relocated people?" Deborah also realized what was going on.

"That's right, there is no other way for summer grain, but autumn grain for the relocated people must be guaranteed." Simon said expressionlessly.

"However, there are two problems at present. Although most of the southern borders are dominated by the royal family, they are also fiefdoms of the royal family's collateral nobles in name. I am afraid it will be difficult to convince them. If the barbarians are allowed to develop towns and farmland, it will definitely cause trouble. Come to criticize." Deborah said with a frown.

In the early days of the Silver Moon Kingdom, the collateral lines of the royal family were all sealed, but soon some kings realized that it was simply not enough to allocate land to the collateral lines for each generation.

So after nearly a thousand years of repeated pulls, the main line of the royal family is still superior, and gradually the false seal replaced the real seal.

Although the land was allocated to collaterals in name, in fact, they were just administrators appointed by the royal family and did not have absolute control over the territory.

This approach is not a major problem in normal times, but now that the royal family is in the public domain, and a large-scale construction is started, some people will definitely not want it.

Moreover, the grievances between barbarians and humans are deep.

In the eyes of humans, the barbarians are a group of bandits, which is indeed the case. Not only the nobles, but even the people may find it difficult to accept sending them to reclaim the land.

"In this way, the new law leader will be handed over to Christine. I will appoint you as the chief executive of the southern border to be responsible for all administrative affairs in the southern border. Family property!" Simon said with a cold face.

In this era, the people don't have much money, and most of it is in the hands of the nobles. The current Silver Moon Kingdom is worrying about having no money.

If there are nobles who don't have eyes, he doesn't mind enriching the kingdom's finances.

"As for the savages, we need these cheap labors to organize all the savages into construction corps, and let Bishop consultant take care of them." Simon continued.

If it wasn't really impossible, he didn't want hundreds of thousands of barbarians to set foot in the hinterland of the kingdom. After all, most of the barbarians had low intelligence and would cause trouble if they didn't pay attention.

However, if we want to solve the problem of relocating people, we can only rely on these extremely cheap labor.

"I understand." Seeing that Simon had made up his mind, Deborah could only nod.

Next, the new French collar began to operate at a high speed. Those nobles from the royal family who dared to talk about it were all dealt with by Simon, and their homes were confiscated with tens of thousands of gold coins.

After confirming that the new town project was initially on the right track, he returned to the capital and continued to deal with Mike's granary case.

"Have they all been found out?" Simon asked with a jumping eyebrow. The speed is quite fast, and it really doesn't matter if you don't force it.

"Yes, some nobles from the royal capital colluded with some northern lords to steal and sell the royal family's food reserves." Prime Minister Medel nodded.

In order not to take responsibility for this matter, he used all his connections to lock down the person involved in the shortest possible time.

"Can it be recovered?" Simon asked again. This batch of stored grain is very important. If it cannot be recovered, it will be a big trouble.

"This time, the nobles of the royal capital stole the grain and sold it to the lord of the northern border. They should be able to recover the gold coins they sold, but there should be no way for the lord of the northern border to sell the grain?" Mike said helplessly.

Although they knew that these lords knew the source of the food, but the other party bought the food with real money.

If they are held accountable, they will definitely pretend to be stupid and refuse to hand over the food.

"Shit! Tell them, either hand over the food, or treason!" Simon said angrily.

The price of food purchased by the royal family from other countries is not low. Coupled with shipping costs and other factors, the final cost is nearly half higher than the average price.

These northern lords bought the stolen stored grain at a lower price than the average price.

That is to say, even if they recovered all the gold coins they sold for the stolen food, it would still be about half less than the original amount. If they went to other countries to buy food, they would still have to lose a part of it.

This time and again, it is equivalent to losing two-thirds of the food out of thin air. These northern lords are not willing, and he, the king, is not willing!

"There are more than 20 lords involved in this matter, and it may be inappropriate to designate all of them as treason." Prime Minister Medel hesitated.

Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be princes. When the power is strong, no reason is reasonable.

These more than twenty lords are united in everything. If they must be regarded as treason, I am afraid that the Silver Moon Kingdom will have a rebellion first.

"Hmph, what's wrong, call Harris and ask him to rectify some of the new legions and be ready to conquer these lords at any time!" Simon didn't back down at all.

Go **** take care of the overall situation!

For the current Silver Moon Kingdom, that batch of food is used to save lives. Now these people don't want to make this country feel better, so why should he be patient as a king.

If you compare the power at hand, these lords are nothing.

By killing these lords, he not only freed up part of the fief, but also recovered food, and also harvested a large amount of property, allowing the royal family on the verge of bankruptcy to breathe a sigh of relief.

This is called taking care of the overall situation!

"Yes." Mike and Medel looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes. This His Majesty is much more domineering than the old king back then.

…

"What, you actually asked us to hand over the food? I bought it. Why should I hand it over? If you want to take the food, you can buy it with gold coins!" Inside the castle, the lord shouted loudly at the royal envoy.

"Your Majesty the King said beforehand, whoever does not hand over the stolen and sold grain will be a traitor!" The royal envoy replied coldly.

"Hmph, who are you scaring! Why does he believe that I am a traitor? How can I be a traitor?" The lord sneered nonchalantly.

This time it's not his family, buying grain stolen from the royal granary.

The law does not blame the public, and the situation of the Silver Moon Kingdom is not optimistic. Could it be that at such a time, that brat would dare to force them to launch a rebellion?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the next three to five years, or even longer, the Silver Moon Kingdom will definitely be short of food. For these lords, hoarding food in advance is completely instinctive.

"I hope you don't regret it!" The royal envoy gave the lord a cold look, and then left the castle.

Although he was rejected everywhere he went, his duty was to ensure that every lord involved could receive the king's warning, so that at least morally, he wouldn't fall into the trap.

…

After receiving the king's decree, Harris immediately arranged the defense of Ye Linhe, screened out some soldiers with acceptable combat power, and went to conquer these lords~www.mtlnovel.com~ Just experienced a big defeat outside the Great Wall, the private army of these lords, combined Less than 10,000. On average, each family has only one, two, or even a few hundred people, and most of them are militiamen.

With almost no effort, Harris broke through the castle, but what followed was the looting of the new army.

"Stop, what are you doing, Military Disciplinary Team!" Harris looked angry, and let the Military Discipline Team control the soldiers who participated in the looting.

"My lord, this is our right!" Some soldiers protested dismissively.

The proportion of new French soldiers in the new army is less than one-thirtieth, and the rest are militiamen drawn from towns and cities.

Although he has undergone several months of training for the new army, he has not developed the habit of respecting discipline at all.

"You don't have such power, arrest them all and wait for His Majesty's disposal!" Harris replied with a cold face.

When they heard that they were going to be arrested, the soldiers immediately started to riot in dissatisfaction: "Hmph, what nonsense, brothers, since the king doesn't want us to be happy, why should we work for him? We want the king to listen to our demands! "

Seeing that the mutiny was about to happen, Harris' face became more gloomy, and he waved his hand silently, and the military discipline team raised the rifle in their hands.

After a period of fighting, all the soldiers who participated in the mutiny were either killed or surrendered and were captured.

All the members of the military discipline team are veterans of the new French leadership, and they are also the elite of the new army. Their combat effectiveness and discipline are by no means comparable to this group of new recruits.

"All those who participated in the looting will be killed without mercy!" Simon, who heard the news, was silent for a long time, and gave an order to Harris in the distance.

Dogs can't change eating shit. If you want to save this country, you have a long way to go...
