The lords of the Kingdom of Bukerdern didn’t respond to the words of protecting themselves before, but when King Satri said that he would use the army to force other countries to exempt them from tariffs when doing business, everyone in this group of lords agreed. Moved.

　　 They lowered their heads and began to calculate carefully. They found that although it is very expensive to support the army, if they can rely on the army to open trade routes and force other countries to exempt tariffs, then this amount of money is nothing.

　　 King Satri did not force these lords to give an answer today, but asked him to go back and think about it, and then give himself a reply ten days later.

　　 The lords of the Kingdom of Bukerdern left the conference hall with serious thoughts, and each of them was carefully considering King Sartri’s proposal.

　　 And King Satri was not angry because they didn't agree on the spot. He was a seasoned king and was very skilled in these political methods.

　　 If they must be forced to agree, it may cause a backlash. What's more, they put the facts in front of everyone. Isn't the empire's willingness to open zero tariffs because the Kingdom of Bukerdern has an army?

　　 He believed that his group of profit-seeking vassals similar to merchants would understand this.

　　 What's more, even if his gang of lords are unwilling to execute, then he has other means to deal with it.

　　 He wants to expand the army not only because of the so-called shame and opening up the tariffs of other countries.

　　 But because he saw the danger from the empire, how powerful the former empire was. The old emperor raised his arms and followed him like a cloud, and in a flash, a hundred thousand troops could go out to conquer no one.

　　 But now, after only a few rebellions, a huge and powerful empire has actually fallen to the point where it needs to be rescued by itself, and even 10,000 troops can't be gathered.

Although he claimed many benefits in the empire, he knew that his power was too vain. In the past, he might think that the money in his hand was power, but he witnessed the royal family who was richer than himself. After such an end, he felt that his rule was indeed not very stable.

　　 Within a few days, these vassals stayed in Pimen City and did not return to their territory. The words of King Satril sent a huge storm in their hearts.

　　 "Your Majesty is actually right. The mercenaries are indeed unreliable. The soldiers in our hands are also very poor in combat power. It can be said that apart from our warriors, there is no power that can be obtained!"

　　In a room in Pimen City, four nobles gathered together to discuss. They were small groups with similar interests.

"Yes... Our army is indeed unreliable, but even so, do we have to expand on a large scale? It seems that your Majesty is not a trivial mess. I am worried that my financial system will be affected by the huge army. It will be worn down!"

　　 A lord said worriedly. If it was just an ordinary army expansion, he wouldn't say anything. He was just worried that King Satri was letting himself and others expand his army on a large scale in order to have a very strong army.

"Probably not. Your Majesty is a wise king. He knows how to empathize with our vassals. What's more, if your Majesty asks too much, we will reduce the number. If the requirements are not high, then it is in our interest! "

"Hmm..." the other person pondered and said, "But speaking of it, I don't want your Majesty to expand his army only a small amount. As he said, if our strength becomes stronger, it can even force other countries to open up for us. China, won’t we make more money by dumping products like this?"

　　 All of the people present were a little moved by what they said. Indeed, as King Satri said to exempt countries from tariffs, the money for raising soldiers is really nothing.

　　 So, the attitudes of these lords began to change.

　　 In the end, the proposal to expand the army was almost unanimously approved in the Kingdom of Bukerdern. Only one or two short-sighted lords who did not know good or bad voted against it, but unfortunately their opposition did not work.

In fact, there is no contract between the vassal and the vassal to ask for opinions. The vassal only has the right to propose to the vassal without the right to oppose it, which means that the vassal cannot object to the matter that the vassal is determined to do. .

　　 However, due to the different strengths of the vassals, they even had the power to resist the prince, so that King Satri had to seek the opinions of the vassals and persuade them.

　　Finally, King Sattley decided on the scope of the expansion.

　　 There are three earls and 19 barons in the kingdom of Bukerdern. A total of more than 3,000 soldiers were mobilized in the battle of the empire. On average, each earl dispatched more than 300 soldiers, and the baron had more than 80 soldiers.

　　 The Kingdom of Bukerdern decided that the lords of the earl level must produce 600 professional regular troops with real combat effectiveness within two years, no less than the warriors of the previous imperial wars.

And the baron’s level must be at least equal to a regular army with more than 200 members in everyone’s hands. At the same time, he said that this is only a preliminary army expansion. If the financial ability can bear it, he will continue to expand the army in the future. Territory extension.

　　 The opening up of territories cannot be decided arbitrarily. King Satri was only a temporary prevarication. He really felt that his rule was not stable, and the military power of the Kingdom of Buckden was too poor.

It is precisely because of this idea that he also expanded his army much more than the lord~lightnovelpub.net~ Originally, he had only 800 people under his command. He planned to expand to 2,800 people. After a while Expand the army after time.

How Rainer did not know the Kingdom of Bukerdern, the distance between the two sides is too far, and now the intelligence organization under Logan can monitor the entire Northern Grand Duchy, except for the imperial capital and some power near the imperial capital. Besides, I don’t know anything about other places.

　　The Grand Duchy of the Northern Territory is now very ordinary. The annual routine northward raids and slavery hunting has ended, and the banquet that is luxurious enough to be celebrated by the entire Northern Territory has also ended.

　　 For the people of the North, there is really no explosive news to talk about.

　　 In a blink of an eye, there was another spring ploughing and autumn harvest. The grain in Lenner's warehouse was already piled up like a mountain. Even if the wine industry became more and more developed, it still could not completely consume the grain.

　　This had to make Reiner think about other ways to convert the food produced in the north into other income.

At this time, Leiner was watching the brewing process in a wine shop under his name. The distilled wine had already been made by Leiner, but the sales were not gratifying. The nobles believed that such stimulating wine was the devil’s drink. It is not suitable for the children of the Holy Father.

　　 The frustrated Reiner can only abandon the sale of distilled spirits and continue to produce ordinary ale and beer.

　　 And Rainer is not aimless in the wine shop, because he suddenly thought of a legendary ingredient, or condiment, yesterday.
