Count Redmara couldn't help but frown when he heard the Queen's accusation, and said angrily: "What we have to do now is to guard against the group of people in the north. I am worried that they will do a lot of rebellious things!"

The queen couldn't help but her complexion changed greatly.

"Should... Maybe not..."

The queen muttered, covering her mouth.

But although she said so, everyone has their own judgments in their hearts. This Redka Empire was established by members of the Merland family. In fact, each of the group of royal lords has the qualifications to become emperors. .

Because of the respect for the old emperor and the strength of the royal family, no one dared to covet the throne.

Now the queen and the upstarts are constantly suppressing the royal lords, which has greatly stimulated the contradictions between the two sides, and is also very dissatisfied with the queen. The current situation is crisis, and the queen and others do not think too much.

Before the queen could continue speaking, Count Redmara said: "Regardless of whether they will do anything like that, we must be vigilant enough to avoid any omissions!"

"Now I propose to recruit veterans and homesteaders to join the army again, and at the same time hire wandering knights to join the heavy cavalry corps. We must ensure that the emperor has sufficient defense forces!"

Count Redmara spoke, but a court official stood up and said with a sad face: "You are right, but the situation in the imperial capital may not be able to meet your requirements!"

"When the new army was formed, all the steel reserves in our warehouse were already used to arm these troops. Now there is not even a small amount of steel left in the warehouse, and even spears cannot be built. Roots, let alone many long swords and armors!"

This court minister said that it was miserable. The brows that the upstarts did not have frowned. In the eyes of the upstarts, the lack of iron is purely an excuse. Even if an empire of this size does not have a large supply of steel, they cast kitchen knives or iron farm tools. After that, a lot of steel was collected after all.

Just as Count Redmara was about to reprimand and ordered the steel to be gathered, another courtier stood up again.

The position of this courtier is much higher than the previous one, because he is the minister of finance of the empire, mainly responsible for the expenditure and income of the treasury.

Although these courtiers were greatly weakened because of the great power of the nobles, he was still a real courtier who could not be underestimated.

"Before the rebellion in the South and the West, the royal family's finances suffered a big blow. Both the nobles’ annuities and business income have been reduced a lot, coupled with the increase in the number of soldiers, our military expenditures have to follow. Upgrade, and in order to equip the soldiers with armor, we have to buy a large amount of steel from the north. Now the royal family's vault is not enough to support such a huge army expansion!"

When his words fell, it instantly caused a commotion among the upstarts. They thought that the royal family's treasury was almost inexhaustible, but they didn't expect that there was a financial crisis now.

Count Redmara's complexion solidified at this moment, he did not expect that such a large and wealthy empire would be so rich.

In the past, he had never thought that there would be a day of lack of money, because the territory of the empire was too large, and the income was so much that Count Redmara had almost no idea.

The empire’s income for one year was almost the same as the income of his territory for fifty years. He did not understand why such a terrifying income would be used up for one day.

Count Redmara looked at the courtier with scrutiny eyes, and the eyes of the rest of the upstarts were full of suspicion after being shocked.

However, the court official appeared not to be afraid.

As the minister of finance, he was one of the great figures of the empire when the old emperor was in power. His followers, the old emperor, had such a status in the Southern and Northern Wars. How could the pride in his heart be comparable to those of the former conquered? of?

He looked at the upstarts without any fear, especially focusing on Count Redmara, and said: "If you don’t believe me, you can go to the treasury to have a look. At the same time, I can also provide you with the accounts. Of course, the premise is that you can understand it!"

There is no lack of ridicule in the words of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. In this era, the cultural literacy of the nobles is really not very good. Although literacy is their standard, they have no idea when it comes to advanced knowledge.

On the contrary, it is fighting for power or eating, drinking and having fun. They are all masters.

Count Redmara shook his head with an ugly expression, and said, "I believe you, but can we only catch it now?"

The chancellor sighed, speaking of it, he really didn't want to watch these upstarts ruin this huge empire.

Although the royal lords are arrogant, they at least know how to cherish the empire and the great country created by the Morand family.

It's not like these upstarts, who just squandered the money in the treasury.

Thinking of this, the Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't help but look even more ugly, and said coldly: "The empire's treasury is indeed short of money, but I'm afraid you won't be short of money?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was right. After hearing what he said, the upstarts could not help but bow their heads in shame, but they soon recovered. They really felt ashamed of them because of this.

Before Count Redmara spoke, one of them said: "Respect is the Chancellor of the Exchequer. You are indeed right, but it is our private property. Why should I take it out to defend the imperial capital belonging to the royal family?"

Hearing his words, the chancellor almost fainted with anger.

At this time, they said so. When they changed the imperial policy at will for their own benefit, why didn't they say that the empire was an imperial empire.

To make money for themselves~lightnovelpub.net~ The laws made by the old emperor are now almost empty shells, and all the laws have existed in name only.

In contrast, this group of upstarts made a lot of money, and the least money-giving in two years had earned at least 8,000 gold coins, and he was still just a baron.

Compared with the income of his territory in one year, it is four hundred times!

Hearing what they said, the chancellor couldn't help being discouraged, and didn't want to say anything more. At this moment, he thought it would be better for the royal lords to return to power in the imperial capital.

He sighed and said, "Then I have nothing to do. If there is no money, no one is willing to die!"

In this way, all the way, time passed by, the upstarts either proposed fund-raising or opposed fund-raising. In short, they hadn't quarreled for more than a month.

At the same time, the mouths of these upstarts are as loose as the waistbands of the cotton trousers of the old lady, there is no money in the treasury, and news that the royal lords may call at any time has spread throughout the entire imperial capital.
