Roman Empire of Total War

Chapter 746: "·Compromise failed"

The greater the greater, the more ruthless he will be, because he must be loyal to himself, this situation is of course true; and in this way, he often disappoints the people he contacts in daily life, those people cannot Because of his high flying, he wanted to bind the eagle to the ground.

-Otto Weininger (Austrian philosopher)

The tax payment of 8,000 gold coins per month is definitely not a small number for the Sofia Chamber of Commerce at this stage; Salah previously gave a monthly amount of 5,000 gold coins. After all, he wanted to pay for the gold coins. The Marquis of Bedouin who sent out the conspiracy.

Salah, who was promoted by Bai Feng from the army, was inherently financially gifted and talented, but compared to the Marquis Bedouin, who had been in the royal aristocracy for many years, his experience was immature and inadequate. child.

In fact, as soon as the new price code given by the Marquis of Bedouin was spoken, Salah knew that he had said something wrong; prematurely revealing the bottom price of his heart would only give the other party more opportunities to ask for the price. The Marquis of Bedouin gave Salah had a profound lesson.

After eating a long and wise Salah, the same mistake will not be made twice. After the Marquis Bedouin said his price, Salah said: "His Governor, the Sofia Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in food, with a small profit, eight thousand. The gold coins are probably too high."

"Is there any resource more valuable than food in Broyansong Province today?" Marquis Bedouin, who was dissatisfied, said very harshly: "Over the entire empire, food is the most demanding strategic material. , Where did the food from the Sofia Chamber of Commerce come from?"

Hearing Bedouin’s words, Salah had to admire Bai Feng’s precautions. For the source of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce, Salah had a reasonable and practical explanation.

"Your Excellency, all the food of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce was purchased from the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Duke of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce can testify; if you want to investigate the source of the grain of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that Westminster will be involved. Special Chamber of Commerce."

In the face of the threats inside and outside of the Marquis of Bedouin, Salah expressed his toughness without showing any weakness; in the Tianlong Empire, which was trapped in the quagmire of two lines of war, the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, which assumed the heavy responsibility of the transportation of imperial materials, But it was highly valued by Charles the Great.

If anyone dares to provoke the shouldering responsibility of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, the Westminster Chamber of Commerce only needs to slack off a little, and the embarrassment of the front-line supplies being insufficient will make the Tianlong Empire reluctantly maintain the battle situation, which suddenly turns sharply!

Such a responsibility, let alone the Marquis of Bedouin is just a local governor, even if he is a prince of the empire, the angry Charlie the Great can live up to him! Then again, the status of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce was not established recently.

The Westminster Chamber of Commerce throughout the continent has long woven an intricate network of relationships in the Tianlong Empire. Even the four princes of the empire have very close ties with the Westminster Chamber of Commerce. How could it not be known?

More importantly, the Marquis of Bedouin owes 100,000 gold coins to the Westminster Chamber of Commerce! If the Marquis of Bedouin dared to interfere with the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Westminster would not mind recovering the 100,000 gold coins lent to the Marquis of Bedouin.

The proper toughness of Salah really attracted the attention of Marquis Bedouin. After a little consideration, the courageous Marquis of Bedouin compromised: "In this case, let them pay six thousand gold coins every month."

The Marquis of Bedouin has already made compromises, and Salah, who also does not want to tear his face, is naturally impossible to refuse; the one thousand gold coins spent every month, in terms of Salah, is the tuition fee he gave to Marquis of Bedouin. '.

After the discussion about the Sofia Chamber of Commerce ended, Marquis Bedouin asked Hess in a meaningful way: "Viscount Hess, among the more than 70 towns in the four counties under Broyansong, once belonged to the land and manor of the nobles. , How is it now?"

This Marquis of Bedouin, how to talk about some extremely sensitive topics as soon as he entered the city, is he so eager to start? Salah and Hess looked at each other, and after a brief eye contact, the named Hess explained:

"Your Excellency, all the unowned land and manor in Broyansong Province have been re-granted by General Bai Feng to the landless people and meritorious soldiers; there are some shops and fixed assets, and the Sofia Chamber of Commerce and Westminster Chamber of Commerce Invest to buy."

"Viscount Hess, you mean that the land belonging to the nobility is occupied by ordinary people, isn't it?" Marquis Bedouin, who didn't hide his dissatisfaction, said bluntly: "You think the land of nobility , Is it appropriate to distribute to the people?"

Because of the difficulty of the Marquis of Bedouin, there was no expectation from Salah and Hess, but no one thought that he would want to take measures so soon; Hess, who didn’t know how to answer, asked Salah without success, but had to Boldly said:

"Your Excellency, the real nobleman, is a noble man who is brave enough to support the people in times of distress, not a coward who fled in vain; this is what the general Bai Feng said when allocating the land. Do you think there is Is it wrong?"

"You..." In the internal deliberations, Hess offered to welcome the Marquis of Bedouin, but in the face of the aggressiveness of the Marquis of Bedouin, he showed his tough side, and the Marquis of Bedouin had nothing to say. !

Bedouin, who walked away, was followed by a large group of dejected nobles who were glaring at Salah and Hess; looking at their backs, Salah and Hess had to admit that their efforts and others still did not get their due. Some return.

Bedouin’s anxiety and stubbornness exceeded the worst expectations of Moritz and others. Moritz and others who reunited together forced them to call the Wink commander of the City Defense Army together with him. Discuss ways to deal with Marquis Bedouin.

The Second Division of the Fifty-fifth Legion is a standing army led by the cronies of the Duke of Rondestede; Moritz and others can not worry about this 10,000 soldier, but they must beware of belonging to the Marquis of Bedouin and the poor The nobles' guards of nearly 20,000 people.

Without using the orders of Bai Feng and Rodriguez, the three divisions of the Blaze Corps stationed outside Broyansson County will inevitably not come forward to be an enemy of Marquis Bedouin; in the final analysis, they can protect Bai Feng’s heart and soul. The troops, only the three thousand city defense generals of Wink.

At this time, in the barracks outside Broyansong County, there were three divisions of the Legion of Fire and the second division brought by the Marquis of Bedouin; the army in the city, besides the three thousand city defenses of Wink, there was Bedo Because of the more than 19,000 guards of the Marquis.

Even if the fighting force of the **** force is not very strong, their advantage in quantity is enough to make up for their qualitative disadvantage; the three thousand city defense forces, no matter how they say, there are only three thousand people. It is impossible to be an opponent of nearly 20,000 **** forces. .

Fortunately, the possibility of a military conflict breaking out in the city is not very high. Wink’s main responsibility is to maintain daily stability in the city; in the next time, the main task of Salah and Hess is to deal with the Marquis Bedouin and try to be as stable as possible. Live in the Marquis of Bedouin.

As for the military officer Moritz and the chief officer Heinrich, the former needs to go to the other three counties, asking the military officers there to secretly gather some manpower in case; the latter needs to appease the people of the capital and avoid the appearance Massive chaos.
