There is still a gap of nearly 300 million francs. Xiao Jie does not know how to plug this gap. Now that Iberia has just been pacified, there are still many places to spend money. It will not work if all the money in the treasury is invested in it. So Xiao Jie still planned not to allocate the 500 million from the treasury. But where can such a huge sum of money be obtained? He is very rich, and the Andresi Group has more than 600 million assets, but except for a part of the working capital, the rest are fixed assets, and he himself has no spare money. Because the money earned by the Andresi Group over the years has basically been used to expand reproduction, Xiao Jie has basically never put a penny in his pocket, and the money he usually uses is basically obtained from Joseph. Yes, there is no shame in asking my father for money anyway, besides, won't all the money be mine in the future? He invested all the funding given by the Jewish consortium into the construction of the 88th Army. When the legion was first established, the money was basically enough, and there was even a surplus, but later on, the legion grew bigger and more places needed money, and gradually it couldn't make ends meet, especially this year , Some people still pay for the military expenses of the war, but he doubled the size of the 88th Army. The soldiers of the 3rd and 4th Divisions are basically full by now, and they will enter Iberia in a month at most , These all cost money. In addition, the 4 newly established Spanish divisions now belong to his troops, so the military salary and all other expenses should naturally be paid by him. In addition, there is an extra cavalry regiment. War horses need to be replenished, these are all money. The place where money needs to be spent is really too big, Xiao Jie has a headache just thinking about it!

It seems that this year's life is not easy! Xiao Jie sighed in his heart. Iberia is a good place, which is good, but it can't help him now. Wait, I seem to have forgotten something? Xiao Jie thought suddenly. He remembered that he, Irelia, seemed to have a huge fortune, but he seemed to have forgotten it.

"Your Excellency Forbeck, have those rebellious nobles and church people been captured?" Xiao Jie asked. After a few hairs were ripped off, Xiao Jie finally knew where his money was "put".

"Huh?" Forbeck didn't know how Xiao Jie remembered this, and after thinking for a while, he said: "General Misend and the others have already started to send the captured ones to Madrid, and General Dougal and the others have already started sending them to Madrid due to the war. It’s not quite over yet, so it’s going to be a while before people come in.”

"Well, very good. Your Excellency Forbeck, you can go back first. I promise that all the money will be delivered to you in a month's time." Xiao Jie promised, patted his chest.

Although Forbeck didn't know how Xiao Jie got such a huge sum of money within a month, since he had already said so, he had no choice but to leave, but when he went out, he smiled strangely.

That smile happened to be caught by Xiao Jie, and he suddenly felt like he was being tricked. Fortunately, he was not benzene, so he understood immediately, and knew that the main purpose of Forbeck's visit this time was to ask for money. As for all the things he said before, they were all nonsense. These old guys are indeed more powerful than each other.

On February 15th, Misend finally returned in triumph. In front of his team, there were a lot of dragging people. Although these people had a lot of dust on their clothes, they couldn't hide their luxurious side. Everyone's face He was tired from a long journey, but his expression was indeed very proud. They were the ruling class of this country in the past, the prisoners today, and the spoils of Misend. These are the noble gentlemen that his army has captured in the past few days who have stood in the wrong team but failed to escape from Iberia. This is only part of it. The nobles who participated in the rebellion in northern Spain were basically all captured, but they were captured by the cavalry corps, and they are still on their way to Madrid. The only way left is that of Dougal and the others. When they arrived all the way, all the nobles and church members who participated in the rebellion in Iberia but failed to escape were basically arrested and brought to Madrid.

According to preliminary estimates, there are very many of these people, about 80,000 people, otherwise they would not be able to support such a powerful Spanish army. It accounted for 85% of the entire Iberian noble class, and 5% of the people fled Iberia. Although there were many of them and their financial resources were very strong, they still failed. No one knows the fate that awaits them, but it is estimated that it will not be very good, or they will not all be escorted to Madrid.

Their fate is now in Xiao Jie's hands. As the victor of the war, Xiao Jie has the power to decide everything about them. When they entered the city, all the citizens of Madrid automatically gathered on both sides of the street to visit those gentlemen who were dying but still maintained the so-called aristocratic demeanor.

On February 20th, all the nobles who participated in the rebellion were escorted to Madrid. A total of 80,000 people were packed into a newly built courtyard next to the barracks. Next to them was a prisoner-of-war camp in which about nine Of the 10,000 prisoners of war, 20,000 of them are British. Xiao Jie is still considering how to deal with them.

On February 22, Xiao Jie convened a pre-imperial meeting in the Council Hall of the Royal Palace of Madrid to discuss how to deal with those rebels and prisoners of war. The participants included the ministers and military leaders of the new Iberian government (formed by the merger of Spain and Portugal) ( The Chancellor of the Exchequer still serves as Prime Minister Forbeck concurrently, and Ottove is still handling his own property in Paris, and he will not be able to serve in Iberia until he has made detailed arrangements).

"First of all, I would like to congratulate General Dugor and General Misend for their great victory in the last stage of the war, which has completely restored the stability of Iberia." At the beginning of the meeting, Xiao Jie said first. He took the lead in applauding, and there was warm applause in the council hall.

"Okay, let's talk about how to deal with those rebels and prisoners of war." Xiao Jie continued.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started talking. From their conversation, Xiao Jie heard that most people were saying that they would be released after being given certain punishments. After all, this world is still dominated by nobles. Without enough nobles, how would they rule the people?

Xiao Jie became anxious as soon as he heard it, he was thinking about those people's ideas now, and he had already regarded those people's property as his own in his heart, think about it, so many nobles have accumulated for hundreds of years What a terrifying number. If it is what they say, wouldn't that make the cooked duck fly? That's not bad, I quickly winked at Dugel and the others.

Having worked with Xiao Jie for several years, Du Geer is naturally very clear about the temper of His Highness the Crown Prince, and he naturally heard the conversations of those ministers, so he stood up and said: "His Royal Highness, those rebels are absolutely We can't be lighthearted, if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have lost so many troops, we lost nearly 100,000 people in total in this war, if we let them go easily, I'm afraid His Majesty the Emperor won't be able to explain it!"

As soon as Du Geer said these words, the ministers immediately closed their mouths with interest. Who is Dougal? The second in command of the army in the entire Iberian theater, his words, to a large extent, represent the will of the army. In Iberia now, most of the power is still in the hands of these soldiers. Of course, it is not comparable to those civil servants who can only play tricks.

"His Royal Highness, those rebels are the backbone of this rebellion. They provided a lot of funds to the Spanish rebels. Otherwise, we wouldn't suffer such a big loss, so we can't spare them lightly." Eck also added There was a fire.

Afterwards, Misend and other military chiefs also expressed their views that these rebels must be dealt with severely, so no one pleaded with those people anymore, and everyone demanded that these people be severely punished, so as to warn those who still harbor evil intentions Not a crafty person.

Seeing that things were developing in the direction he expected, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Xiao Jie smiled in his heart, but his face was still serious, and said: "Since everyone thinks so, let's do it this way. I think so Let’s see, there are too many people involved in the rebellion, and it’s impossible for us to kill them all. If that’s the case, the impact will be bad. We only need to execute those leaders. As for those leaders, the military department will set up a special A review team. For those who are less serious, they will be punished according to the actual situation. All their property will be confiscated, and the use will be determined after the statistics are completed. In addition, because the situation has just stabilized now, we still lack a lot of Talents, you can select some talents from them to enrich a department. However, two requirements must be met, one is that they are indeed talents, and the crimes committed in the rebellion are indeed relatively minor. Others, after serving their sentences Afterwards, according to the consumption level at that time, we will give them a year's living expenses. As for what will happen to them in the future, it is out of our control. At the same time, we must strengthen the supervision of these people. If they are found to be involved in any rebellion , shoot to kill. In addition, for those female members who are over 14 years old, they can be exempted from punishment. We will set up a special school to train them into various talents (female spies, female doctors, female teachers, female nurses, Hehe, subdue the temptation) to serve the society. For those aged 15 and 35, they can also apply for exemption from punishment, but there is one condition, that is, they must marry soldiers as wives, and they must not divorce within 5 years.”
