Crown of Chaos

Chapter 513, Spending Money

As for the idea of ​​"General Conquering the Barbarians", of course Aaron stole it from his childhood.

The most core reason is the reason why the Obeszil royal family of Cormyr exists.

As he and Duke Kayneth said, there is no doubt that Cormier did a great job in cultivating him, but it is nonsense to say that all the achievements named Aaron Salian were given by Cormier.

But no matter what, Aaron can at least be sure of one thing, that is, neither the Kingdom of Cormyr, nor the royal family of Obeszil, nor Alice Ser, have anything to do with him.

People should know how to be grateful.

Aaron likes a saying from his previous life very much, that is, how I treat the country is how the country treats me.

Therefore, if he rebelled under such circumstances based on emotion and reason, Aaron would not be able to pass the test in his own heart alone, if nothing else.

Furthermore, Aaron has to consider an issue - the issue of legal rationality.

As a member of the Celestial Dynasty in my previous life, the concepts I was instilled in my daily life and my favorite theories were naturally "Emperors take turns, come to my house today" and "Emperor, the one with strong soldiers and horses will win."

In a high-demon world like Dennidan, it is both right and wrong.

At least that idea doesn't hold true in Cormier.

As a country established after the Valley Calendar, Cormyr has been inherited for about 1,000 years. There has always been only one royal family, and that is the Obeszil royal family, which has never changed.

If something isn't broken, don't replace it. People are used to Obeschier sitting on the dragon throne, so it's extremely difficult to convince all the people to accept a new royal family.

Aaron conservatively estimates that there will be a 20-year civil war first.

For example, if Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period really succeeded in the Northern Expedition and rejuvenated the Han Dynasty, and the old Liu family returned to the throne, then the history of the Celestial Dynasty might change to a situation where the person surnamed Liu always sits on the throne. Who will be in power can be discussed later~

Therefore, instead of comparing the imperial dynasty, Cormier's more appropriate comparison object is the emperor in his childhood, that is, the emperor of this country from its birth to the present. If you rashly plan to replace the Obeszil royal family, the disadvantages will be far greater than the advantages.

So, has the Obeschier royal family completely lost the support of the people? Has Alice Searle's administration disappointed the nation?

Obviously, no, on the contrary, all the people of Cormyr love the Princess Regent!

Therefore, due to emotions and reasons, Aaron has no idea of ​​rebellion. For reasons of personal image and reputation, Aaron does not intend to stand on his own. The so-called Purple Dragon has no attraction to him. He cares more about his own Good reputation, huge reputation and legend are of great concern to the gods.

Finally, there is another reason that is not easy to explain.

When the Elf Empire withdrew from the Cormyr region and ceded this rich forest country land to human cultivation, it was the Obeszil royal family who signed a withdrawal agreement with the elves. Suppose Aaron wanted to replace Obeszil, which would cause the elves to What to do if the Empire appears?

With Aaron's current strength, it would be ridiculous to want to deal with the Elf Empire fleet in the multiverse. He can't shout "The Dragon Seat has strong soldiers and horses to do it." When the Elf Empire Navy comes and finds that it can't defeat it, it means "This is our internal affairs of Cormyr. No right to interfere, historical documents have no legal effect” right?

Even if the Elf Empire does not appear, the gods and major forces in the entire multiverse will also see it. The Kingdom of Cormyr is based on the contract of the Elf retreat. If Obeszil is gone, the contract will not be established. Theory Speaking of which, Cormyr no longer exists, and this is still the land of the Elf Empire.

Aaron still wanted to lose face. Reputation and credibility were at least very useful in Dianyoudan. It was better to forget about swearing by Long Lake.

So in order to make a compromise, Aaron came up with the strategy of "conquering the barbarian generals".

The young samurai gradually established a new political organization "shogunate" by establishing a new pillar of the samurai family without touching the status of the emperor. They obtained a series of permissions during a series of conquests against the Eastern Ezo people.

Aaron also plans to do this. He only needs permission. The Nese ruins in the north and the large area of ​​​​plains in the Eno Oak Desert will be regreened. Wouldn't it be up to him to do whatever he wants?

After hearing Aaron's thoughts, Duke Kayneth frowned, and he instinctively wanted to scold Aaron sharply.

Isn’t this still a separate establishment? !

How could the Kingdom Council grant Aaron such huge authority? !

Gain complete human rights, financial power, and military power. This is a country within a country!

This is traitorous! This is unconstitutional! If agreed, wouldn't there be a northern Cormyr shogunate and a southern Cormyr kingdom in the future?

However, Duke Kayneth's words of scolding were speechless.

Because Aaron, who was sitting across from him, was no longer the Purple Dragon Knight who was just a fledgling and was trembling even when he entered the palace.

He is now the legend of facing the Six Fingers, fighting through the bottomless abyss, and rescuing Lady Fortune from the Silver Palace, one of the three giants of the abyss!

"How are you going to convince me?" Duke Kayneth-Ireland sat upright: "There are only two actual dukes in Cormyr, only two! Even Marelli and I don't have this kind of authority."

"Your Highness the Duke." Aaron cleared his throat: "The fiefdom of our ancestors is always limited, right?"

"Huh?" Duke Kayneth put down his fork, rolled his eyes, and seemed to understand something.

"Even if a duke's family has a large fiefdom, usually only one child can inherit the territory, because we all know that if the territory is equally divided, it only takes three or five generations, and the vast duchy will soon be It will be divided into scattered estates." Aaron smiled: "Look at Brunson outside the city of Cormyr, dozens of homesteaders have divided their land into more than 1,700 shares!"

"I know that His Highness the Duke has 7 children. If you include illegitimate children, there are 13 children. Most of these children will not have fiefs. You can only send them to the church to study and to the monks and monasteries to practice hard. , sent to the army to join the army, and sent Susar as a hostage." Aaron said softly: "But now, they have one more way out, that is to follow me to the north to conquer the barbarians, land, wealth, power, everything, unlimited The future is at the end of the Aino Oak Desert!"

"You!" Duke Kayneth opened his eyes wide. He was surprised and surprised at the same time: "Are you willing to let go of your military restrictions and let my children and the noble children of Cormyr join the army? Enter your shogunate. ?Divide your land???”

"Please, my Lord, with so much land and so many unowned areas, someone has to manage it, right?" Aaron crossed his fingers, propped his elbows on both sides of the Qiaotou vermicelli pot, and pressed his index finger under his nose. : "A new land means new opportunities. Who should I give this opportunity to? The orcs in the Stormhorn? The goblins in the rocky land? The Bedai barbarians in the desert? I will give it to everyone. As a Cormyr, of course I will give it. For my sake, Cormier, of course the first choice is one of our own!”

"I, Aaron Salian, was born here, grew up here, and am honored here. I love this land. I can clearly distinguish who is one of our own."

"Cormier for me, me for Cormier!"

Duke Kayneth fell silent after hearing this. He put down his fork and paused for a long time, pinched his nose, and sighed: "I didn't cultivate you in vain, but I am very happy to say that you are one of my own. "

"Actually, life is not easy for the nobles during this period... If you can..."

"Um."

……………………

A few days later, Aaron officially returned to Susar, leading the Silver Hand Crusaders and the Ninth Shepherd Legion to meet with the regent daughter of the Obeszil royal family.

The first ones to appear are the great dragon Egil and the succubus nun Vengeance.

Egil's 20 huge half-dragon guards, as well as her two half-dragon attendants Shuiya and Huoyun, followed the big dragon on the stage. Rarely, Egil wore a Cormyr noble dress. , and there are two golden tassels hanging on his pair of dragon horns.

At first, Egil's eyes widened when he saw the gift presented by Aaron. Dalonglong jumped directly behind Aaron, rubbed his neck with his head, and shouted, "Are these all mine? Thank you. Servant~".

Getting a negative answer made Egil pinch Aaron's face angrily: "My gift cannot be less, servant!"

On the other side, the succubus nun was followed by 10 leading figures of the Woking Church. Ms. Orem of St. Coin was preparing to retire. Three of the five Shangjin ladies were present in person to hand over the divine documents on behalf of the Woking Church. , express gratitude for the help in writing to Oberszil.

This was a very high courtesy, and it was also Waking's way of supporting his daughter.

The emergence of resentment made many onlookers stare straight-eyed.

Is there such a stunning beauty in the world?

It is worth mentioning that it is quite interesting that Vengeful and Egil dislike each other but cannot kill each other.

Following Egil and Grudge is the float of the fairy princess Buyel, accompanied by the Emerald Mage Group led by Aaron's cousin Anna, accompanied by 8 Emerald Archmages and 16 Druids. Buyel Everywhere she passed was filled with the fragrance of flowers and sunshine, and the fairy princess smiled and waved to the people on both sides of the block.

Behind Buyer is Lady Eleanor of Aquitaine. Miss Priest leads a hundred elite Silver Moon warriors. Following her are Isobel, Asmo Eileen and others.

The last person to appear was of course the protagonist, Aaron Salian. Aaron wore the robe of the Purple Dragon Count of Cormyr and led 300 silver dragon knights to the stage. On his left and right was his cousin Maximian. and cousin Robert.

Susar is boiling, Cormyr is boiling, the ancient royal city has not been as lively as it is today for a long time, people crowded on both sides of the streets, staring at the facade of Cormyr, the pride of the country.

The six hundred large boxes following closely in the queue gave rise to all kinds of crazy thoughts in the hearts of the Cormyrs.

Mr. Aaron is a millionaire.

What is he going to give?

Princess Regent Alice Serre led more than 300 Cormyr nobles to welcome Aaron in front of the Parliament of the Kingdom of Cormyr. Alice Serre, dressed in a princess dress, motioned for Aaron to sit next to her. Egil, Buyer , Grudge and Eleanor sat in a row, Aaron received wine from Alice Searle three times, and the Queen's Blade served a thirteen-course state banquet.

After the state banquet, Aaron formally presented a gift to the Obeszil royal family.

Aaron presented to Cormyr 100,000 pure gold coins of Wojin, 2,000 bolts of silk, 10 pounds of ambergris, two boxes of red coral, 15 boxes of wine, 10 pounds of musk, 200 bottles of perfume, various specialties and amn. Two hundred boxes of goods.

Dedicated to the royal family of Oberszil, 50,000 pure gold coins, 1,000 bolts of silk, 150 boxes of spices and wine, plus 100 pairs of silk stockings specially made by the goddess of light and darkness.

The only remaining members of the Oberszil royal family are the Queen Mother Phil Farrell and the Queen Regent Alice Searle.

Each of the two dukes was given 500 pure gold coins, twenty sets of clothes, and ten boxes of gold foil, silk, spices and wine.

Give the entire Purple Dragon Knights 20,000 pure gold coins, 200 sets of extraordinary weapons, 200 sets of extraordinary armor, and 100 boxes of various goods.

50,000 pure gold coins, various spell scrolls, and countless rare magic materials are dedicated to the next royal chief wizard, Charlotte Karadna.

All the other nobles present were given a gift.

The terrifying coin-throwing frenzy is eye-popping, and what excites the people of Cormyr the most is that the entire gift-giving process is open to the public. This extremely grand event was difficult to match even when Assan IV was alive!

The unprecedented gift-giving activity left a deep impression on every arriving guest, including foreign envoys and church representatives. They were frightened by Cormyr's strength, wealth, and unity.

At the banquet, a long table was placed from the Kingdom Council Hall to the open square outside the hall. Aaron's aunt and uncle were all invited, especially Aunt Meili, who had neither a title nor great strength. , just show up wearing normal clothes.

But as soon as Aaron saw his aunt and uncle arriving, he immediately stood up to greet his aunt and uncle with Eleanor in person. Egil and Buyer quickly stood up to welcome him, so Lothair and Mellie, two low-status marginal nobles, immediately became Attracting the focus of the audience, even Alice Searle and the Queen Mother personally came up to offer wine.

Uncle Lothair was soon drunk, and was given wine and thirteen state banquets. As a horse breeder, he could enjoy these, and he felt that he had no regrets in this life.

Aunt Meili was surrounded by a group of ladies. These ladies who used to be reluctant to look at her for fear of dirtying their eyes now called Mrs. Meili one by one, making her aunt scream and shout. : "When I rolled the carpet at the entrance of the palace, everyone called me crazy woman. Now that they think I'm useful, everyone calls me Mrs. Mei Li!"

"Hahahahahahahaha~" bursts of awkward and polite laughter came from all around.

At this time, Aaron was sitting with Eleanor, watching the distant dragon Egil sit down on the table, drinking like crazy with Revenge, and watching the distant Alice Sayre raising his hand towards him. Cup, Aaron raised his cup in response.

Such a grand occasion, such a vision, father, have you seen it?

Aaron thought this way, thinking of the stern, domineering, and conservative figure in his memory. Presumably even his father would be happy with his achievements today, right?

"Are you thinking about Mr. Manuel?" Today, Eleanor did not wear the nun's uniform she had always worn. Due to the seriousness of the occasion, Miss Priest specially changed into a dress for formal occasions, a simple ginkgo yellow button lock print. The ancient lady's long dress looks unique when paired with her long, bright blond hair and delicate and bright face.

What's more important is that because she is attending a formal occasion, Miss Pastor today is wearing a pair of black matte Lycra pantyhose.

Eleanor's black silk stockings were very rare. Miss Priest always liked to wear white or gray silk stockings. Every time, Aaron would beg him for a long time before she could wear them. Then she would be so loved by Aaron that she would sleep until the afternoon the next day before waking up.

"You guessed it, my dear." Aaron hugged Eleanor and secretly rubbed oil on Miss Pastor's beautiful black stocking legs.

"We have been together for so many years, and I still don't understand you." Eleanor rolled her eyes at Aaron and said angrily: "Whenever you show this kind of reminiscing but slightly painful and entangled look, you must be thinking of Manuel." Mr. Er.”

"Are you still called Mr. Manuel?" Aaron half-smiled, "Call me foster father!"

"Humph~ No!" Eleanor pursed her lips, and Miss Pastor thought to herself that I am not that easy to change my words.

In the country, the formal titles of father-in-law and mother-in-law are "father in law" and "mother in law", which are the father in law and the mother in law, or the abbreviated names are foster father and foster mother.

"You've spent too much money." Looking at the grand scene in front of her, the state banquet composed of thousands of people, the pastor lady felt a little distressed by Aaron's generosity even though she didn't care about money: "I know Ms. Fortune has given you a lot Money, but you can’t spend it like this.”

"Of course you have to spend the money that should be spent." Aaron looked at the sky of Cormyr and drank a glass of Amn water: "If I don't spend this money, do you know how many people are staring at me? The entire multiverse knows it. I have a million.”

"But don't worry, my dear, this money will not be wasted." Aaron pointed to Alice Searle on the dragon throne and suddenly said: "Eleanor, do you want to experience what it's like to be a regent? Do you want to be a regent? My...Mrs. Odaisuo?"

The pastor lady was already a little drunk, but she suddenly trembled when she heard these words.

Aaron’s plan seems a bit big!
