Warhammer Throne

In mid-February, Curona, the capital of Brittania.

Members of the High Command of Brittany gathered in front of the Royal Palace of Curona. The streets were crowded with people, hundreds of flags were raised high, and white snow fell from the sky.

The grand state funeral is being held. The three portraits are held by the regent of the kingdom, Raun, Marshal Pershmond and Karad, and on both sides are the honor guards composed of the Holy Grail knights and the old guards.

The defense of Curona was over, and the Breton army withstood the pressure. As the queen of knights, Sulia personally led the army, defeated 50,000 people with 15,000 people, beheaded Prince Siegwald, and lost more than 5,800 people. The epic victory of more than 40,000 people declared the success of the defense of Kurona.

This battle made Suria famous, the nickname of the flower of Bretania spread in the old world, people were proud of the wise rule of the Sun King and his queen, and at the same time, he was in the end for Bretania. At this moment, I am deeply proud that I still stand tall and maintain a stable environment in such a terrible environment.

Ryan made a series of decisions for Suria only after he came to Kurona, including the enlistment of private noble army and the disbursement of the money from the Royal Treasury of Kurona. Ryan did not say much, but The promises were fulfilled one by one.

As long as the nobles of Kurona sent private armies and family children to participate in the war and made military exploits, they were rewarded in a unified manner. Ryan gave them all the rewards of those who fled more than 70% of the fiefs and family properties of the knights and nobles. Among them, 400 people were selected from the young children of the aristocratic private army and the knight aristocrats to form the "Young Guards", and a full 100 people were awarded the title of kingdom knights. The knights and aristocrats were fairly satisfied. After the war was over , This group of people began to focus their attention on competing for the vacant market share and the abandoned manors outside the city.

The 4000 veterans and temporary veterans suffered huge losses. By the end of the battle, only less than 2,200 were left. Ryan treated this separately. Among them, the best, the ones who made the war and made breakthroughs, happened to be the ones who suffered a lot of losses. A total of 550 people were recruited to serve in the Old Guards, another 450 were recruited to serve in the Musilon Lengxi Guards, and the remaining 1300 were awarded the title of Glory Freedmen. Reconciliation and duty, the transition to the army, the care of the war dead and the replacement of their duties by their families, Ryan sent Beria to arrange all of this.

Suria defended 70% of the Kurona Plain, but 30% of the area was still occupied. A total of nearly 60,000 people died in the catastrophe, and 350,000 people were displaced. It is a huge problem to settle the victims. Ryan is here After arriving in Curona, he dealt with everything non-stop.

At the same time, Ryan announced that he would hold a state funeral against the three marshals who died in the battle, Marshal Rokosovsky, Marshal Davu and Marshal Roland.

All walks of life in Brittania mourned the deaths of the three marshals. Many people found that, unknowingly, four of the ten marshals who had been canonized by Ryan had already died in battle, leaving their homeland forever, and they guarded them. People.

Su Liya took advantage of the trend to put forward a "war donation" initiative to the knights, nobles and merchants, and received enthusiastic responses.

The first big trench merchant to stand up for donations was Amancio Perez, the president of the Estalian Merchants Union. This trench merchant relied on a very good relationship with Ryan and Fogan. Estalia moved most of his property to Brittania as soon as he encountered danger, and Amancio's commercial focus has since been placed in Brittania.

But Amancio quickly encountered difficulties. Although the Estalian Merchants League headed by him cannot be said to have no foundation in the Knight Kingdom, it is also difficult to compete with these local merchants, and Brittany The knight nobles have a natural contempt for the Estalians. After all, your trash can't even keep your family, and you still have the face to do business?

Therefore, in order to open up the relationship and to gain the recognition of the knights and nobles, Amancio fought, the Estalian Merchants Alliance gritted their teeth and took out 20,000 gold crowns + 120,000 Exelante (Ace The exchange rate between Thalia gold coins and gold krona is about 3:1) plus hundreds of tons of materials, the first one to stand up and donate to the Knights Kingdom, expressing his determination to stand firmly with the Knights Kingdom, Amancio will Chang even made a generous statement, saying that to build a community with a shared future for mankind in the old world, I can only trust the two majesties the Sun King and the Queen.

The second one is Oliver, the queen merchant of Ryan and Suria. Oliver is more than 70 years old this year. He is already an out-and-out old man among humans, but his appearance looks like his forties. Over the years, the Oliver Chamber of Commerce has almost become one of the best super chambers of commerce in the old world by relying on the power of Ryan and Sulia and the monopoly of the wood elves trading franchise, and he is quite trusted by the wood elves. When Oliver was in his sixties, this The old and old trench merchant came to the end of life for a while. After receiving the news, Queen Alaire took a sprout from the Times Oak and parasitized Oliver.

Sprout and Oliver live in symbiosis, relying on the wood spirit's elixir, Oliver lives a second life, and he now has at least forty to fifty years of life.

Oliver also donated 100,000 gold kronor + hundreds of tons of materials, and he was even allowed to sit next to the holy grail knights, which is a symbol of the highest status for a businessman.

The third is President Hadrian of the Hadrian Chamber of Commerce. This is also an old friend of Ryan. Olica was bought by him for Ryan. For many years, Hadrian has earned money from the Ruthcia trade. It was so full that this year's 50-year-old Trench Merchant went to Ruscia to assist Fogen many times, but this time in the destruction of Tyrell, the Hadrian Chamber of Commerce also suffered a loss, so he only donated 5 Ten thousand gold crowns, but Hadrian donated all the 60,000 sheep rescued from Tyrell to Ryan.

The fourth place to stand out is the Agnew family, a local large trench merchant in Brittany. This family has a history of hundreds of years in business. In recent years, it has been squeezed by the two major chambers of commerce, Oliver and Hadrian, and its share has been reduced. They were naturally unwilling to be left behind, and they also took out a lot of real money. At the same time, they also sent 6,000 horses, 10,000 mules, and 8,000 cases of wine to show their loyalty.

With these four big merchants taking the lead, all sectors of society are actively donating money and materials, especially the emerging freed class. These people have begun to be proud of their donations. They believe that the kingdom needs their donations and taxes. This is their identity. And status symbol.

In this way, all the funds that Su Liya spent and all the funds Ryan spent on the aftermath went back to Ryan's hands after a round, and it was doubled.

Devonshire's eyes were straight.

The economy is so simple!

"It's very simple, but the premise is that you must be able to win. You must convince everyone, including nobles, merchants, and civilians that you have the ability to clean up the mess, you have the ability to protect them, and you have the ability to maintain order. "Ryan gently held his son's shoulders, and said slowly: "Naturally everyone is willing to contribute money and efforts. Businessmen, they need the most basic order, but they also look forward to a certain amount of chaos."

"Ryan, what about Marienburg?" Su Liya watched with satisfaction as her husband and son were biting their ears. The Knight Queen was a little proud of her victory. This battle brought her prestige to the pinnacle, but the Knight Queen still She bears her grudge against the hatred of 60,000 deaths and 350,000 displacement caused by the army of sex, and she keeps this account on Marienburg.

In the first time Siegwald landed on the road to Kurona, the great trench merchants of Marienburg not only were not ready for battle, but also reached an agreement with Siegwald privately to purchase dozens of them from the slums. There are fifty carts of sacrifices for Babies and Young Children in exchange for Siegwald’s promise not to come close to Marienburg.

Although the people who believe in **** are basically doing what they like to keep their promises, Siegwald was originally here for Brittany. He laughed at the gift and turned his head towards Brittania. .

This hatred must be liquidated.

"Don't worry." Ryan shook his head: "Talerand is already on his way back. Marienburg is an imperial territory anyway, and we must be famous."

"Isn't that enough?" Veronica, the chief courtwoman behind Ryan, was equally aggrieved.

"As long as the master orders, I will directly ask Julian and the others to level Marienburg." Olica licked her lips, and the dark spirit goddess obviously didn't like Ryan's conservative style: "I'll deal with it."

"If we just wanted Marienburg to spit out a sum of money and throw out a few scapegoats to take the pot, we could have gone straight ahead." Ryan slowly said, "But if you want to take advantage of this opportunity After calculating the general ledger, we need to add something under the street lights of Marienburg. These are not enough. Furthermore, we are a lawful kingdom of knights, and we must pay attention to justice."

"Justice? Cut." Olica exclaimed dissatisfiedly: "The master is sometimes too conservative and too disciplined. When is the time, the army rushes in, how can the people of Marienburg be our opponent? "Grab, grab, grab!" Veronica also waved her small fist, and the female speaker couldn't help drooling at the thought of Marienburg's amazing wealth.

"Don't worry, be patient." Ryan shook his head: "Marinburg is a piece of fat, but how to eat it into your stomach, you have to talk about the method, otherwise it will force the big trench merchants to die or war, then we At most a small part of the seizure will be obtained, and it will mess up the relationship with the empire and the old world gods."

Everyone was silent.

When the grand state funeral came to an end, Talleyrand, panting, rode his horse and came to Ryan: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm here, I bring the latest news."

"What's the news?" Ryan took the letter, opened it and glanced at it, his eyes lit up.

"Hey, isn't this opportunity here?"

"It seems that our Knight Kingdom is going to have an intense economic war with the trench merchants of Marienburg."
