Chapter 276: : The Collapse of the Empire (13) Grand Noble Lure Rose and Cold Rain
My name is Lure Deborah, the same name as the famous navigator in Bourbon history, born in 1367 to a noble family in Boris, the capital of Bourbon.
As an eminent Bourbon nobleman with a long history and a family relationship with the country, and a member of the direct line of the Bourbon nobleman born in the headquarters of the old waterway, the first half of my life can be regarded as smooth sailing.
In 1377, when I was 10 years old, I finished the enlightenment teaching of the Deborah family, and entered Bourbon's top-level Boris Academy to study, and as an honorable official student.
If it is some unremarkable nobles, even the old fairway nobles, it takes a lot of effort to enter this academy, but as a direct member of the Deborah family, I easily entered this academy. But unfortunately, my senior servant was not able to enter this academy with me as an attendant student. The place for the attendant student was replaced by a sideline in my family. After all, there are more and more nobles nowadays, and it is difficult for senior servants to get it. To the number of attendant students.
The 10-year career at Boris College is still smooth sailing. In fact, as a member of the Deborah family, even if I miss school for 10 years, I can still graduate with excellent grades. For example, several of my cousins did the same, but I still go. He studied diligently, and thus won the praise of the elders of the family.
My marriage was also very happy. At the age of 17, I married a female member of my grandmother's family under the arrangement of the family. He was also a student of Boris College. At that time, everyone said that we were talented and beautiful.
In 1387, when I graduated from the academy at the age of 20 and was about to be assigned to an internship, the elders of the family called me into the family council room. They told me that because of my diligence, steadfastness, and noble blood, I would Will become the new star of the Deborah family.
So after graduating, I was assigned to a wealthy town on the outskirts of Boris, and the family sent many talented people to help me govern. It's ashamed to say that within the three years of my internship, the town has always been the first in all aspects of the main city of Boris. However, in fact, I didn't manage much at all, and I just had to ask the subordinates sent by the family to bring the documents up.
The local governance is good - even with the help of my family, I still have a handsome appearance. In those years, I was extremely popular with various citizens, and my career was smooth. In 1397, I entered the Assembly Palace, although only a civil servant Assistant, but also a part of the errand in the Assembly Palace.
In 1405, in order to make merit for the 38-year-old me, the family arranged me to the northern district and joined the team to destroy the barbarians in Bonn. In the family's opinion, this eradication should be a sure thing.
However, the war did not go well. At the worst time, the rebels almost captured Pokang. At that time, the camp was in panic, and many people supported the retreat. Only one nobleman named Napolika tried his best to ask for the attack, claiming that the rebels actually It is already at the end of the battle, just bluffing.
There was a quarrel in the camp at that time. Many nobles despised this crude upstart in the southern waterway, and one nobleman sought my opinion. After all, I am the highest rank in the camp and the most noble of the family. At that time, for some unknown reason, it seemed that the Sea God had influenced my thinking. I stood on Napolika's side under the errand of God and gave Napolika the command.
In the end, Napolika won a heartwarming victory. When I returned to Boris with the head of the barbarian King Ryan, all Boris were boiling, and the family was also praising me for discerning talents.
After that, I stayed up and down in the Assembly Palace for 9 years. During this time, I rose step by step. In 1412, I became one of the members of the Assembly Palace and represented the family in the Assembly Palace. Of course, all my proposals in the Assembly Palace were Proposed under the family's instigation and approval.
In 1414, with the signing of "The Dolomites", the current governor was scolded by the Bourbons and resigned in embarrassment. Thinking of the spring breeze before he came to power, I couldn't help booing. Of course, I didn't think that my future will end up worse than him.
After he left office, relying on my former friendship with Napolika, I succeeded in bringing the Southern Passage back to peace through exhortation (actually, Hades judged that the war should be temporarily truce), and his reputation was growing.
Therefore, in the subsequent elections, at the age of 47, I became the new governor of Bourbon, and after Shuoyuan, I became the 114th governor of Bourbon, Luer VIII, that is, the 114th governor of Bourbon. Eight governors named Luer, and my title is Beautiful Man, because I have a handsome face, even when I am 47 years old.
Before I took the position of consul, I always had a kind of fascinated confidence in Bourbon, thinking that Bourbon was a huge empire, what the Bonn barbarian rebellion, the Aianxi barbarian rebellion and the Merami rebellion over the years. , are just minor troubles, and it is impossible to cause damage to the huge ship of Bourbon.
However, when I became the governor and was able to see some more secret information, I was stunned to find that the empire I once thought was huge has now become more fragile than I thought.
"Why did Bourbon's finances get so bad?" was the question I asked the General Tax Council.
The Chief Tax Councillor answered me with a wry smile.
"First of all, it's Bokan, that is, the barbarians of Bonn. The rebellions caused by them themselves are not big, but the areas where the barbarians of Bonn rebelled are in the northern part of the old waterway. The taxes of the northern waterway, the taxes of the two colonial guards in the Middle Earth, Edonan's tribute tax must pass through there, and of course it has been greatly affected now."
"Then there is the tax on the southern waterway. The southern waterway has fought a civil war for 4 years, and the tax revenue has been intercepted by both sides of the civil war. The old waterway is not able to receive a cent. Now although the civil war is over, because the southern waterway is always called poor, That Hades is still coming to Boris every day to make trouble, saying that it needs to be dealt with after the war, so this year and next year's taxes are almost yellow."
"As for the indoctrination area, since the Merami rebellion started four years ago, tax revenue has also started intermittently. Fortunately, the Merami people are not strong in combat, so there is no need to pay the Assembly Palace like Aianxi ten years ago. money."
"So our huge bourbon can still have stable tax revenue today, and only the income of Mysika's Concession, Ulci's trade, Ingona's trade, Tamron Colonial Fortress, and the Diaspora Alliance are left. Now, this is already exploiting them to the limit, if the exploitation is intensified, others will not tell, I am afraid that group of unruly expatriate alliance will launch a second rebellion."
As if realizing that my face was getting worse and worse, the chief tax officer also sent me a kindly consolation: "But fortunately, the war with Pokorn is over. Get the three main cities of Dolomi, Babtis and Pokorn, but do not allow the navy, and the territorial waters of the three main cities are all ceded to Bourbon, so the taxes of the Northern Seaway and Middle-earth can be collected. There, the fiscal situation should improve over the next few years."
"Can we cut costs now that the fiscal situation is so bad?" This was the second question I asked the Chief Tax Councillor.
"Throttling? How? First, because wars have become more and more frequent over the years, not to mention cutting military expenditures, I am afraid that we have to continue to expand military support! Second, no matter how bad the finances are, the benefits given to the old fairway nobles. It is not less than one child. This is the content determined by the ancient glory principle. With all due respect, if you dare to take action in this area, I am afraid that you will not be able to be the governor the next day."
"Your Excellency Councilor, but there are more and more benefits given to the old fairway nobles. Do you remember how many benefits I gave when I was a child, and how much is it now?"
"So what if you send too much? Don't forget your background, Mr. Ruling! You are also an aristocrat who has received the grace of ancient glory!"
"Okay okay, forget the old glory, what's the matter with this grant to Ingona? Why has it been funded for more than 40 years, it has been funded since I was born, this Bourbon can't be swallowed. When will the spitting monster spit up on Ingona?"
"These people are our spies who broke into Ingona, Lord Governor, please let me say bluntly again, this expenditure can't be cut, or when Ingona wants to attack the Tenglong Colonial Guard, we will even say hello. nothing."
"My God, this can't be cut and that can't be saved. How can Bourbon's financial situation be better? Did my ex leave me such a mess!"
"Lord Governor, you can think on the positive side. From now on, a large amount of taxation in the north will be restored, and the taxation in the southern waterway will also be restored in two years. So won't you have money by then?"
After saying goodbye to the General Tax Councilor, for some unknown reason, a bourbon pill emotion flooded my heart, but I didn't react at all, just slumped on the chair and looked into the distance with broken eyes.
Since I became the presiding officer, the rosy dream of the first half of my life has disappeared, replaced by a cruel reality that is cold to the bone.
In the first two years of my ruling career, the war in Pokang was over, the war in Merami was not too serious, and the North-South Channel sent messages every day to protest the ancient glory, because this issue was too difficult and might tear the old channel, so I ignored it all. their request.
So all I can do is keep trying to improve Bourbon's finances, but in the end it's all in vain. There are three fires for the new official to take office. My first fire is to find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure and improve finance, namely the "Lure Financial Order". As a result, the council discussed it for more than three months. UU read www. uukanshu.com just rolled out the first throttling command.
And the process of issuing the order was not smooth, and all kinds of my relatives and friends, either on their own behalf or on behalf of their relatives and friends, came to my door, and finally even my family began to contact me, Ask me to cancel some commands that are too impractical.
As a result, after a long time of tossing, there are only 4 places where my "Lure Financial Order" has been implemented. This is only implemented in the old waterway. As for those areas in the southern waterway... I can't even imagine:
1. Cancel 74 public libraries that have been "reused", and contract 146 public libraries to private individuals for efficient operation.
2. Revocation of 38 public bathhouses that "have been reused", and contracted 129 public bathhouses to private individuals for efficient operation.
3. Convert the official post station to private operation, cancel 77 post stations in the inland or on the border of Pokang, and the post stations that are not on the old waterway will be handled by each waterway by itself.
4. Set up entrance fees at 144 public parks and Meath Square.
Although the process was extremely embarrassing, this was at least the first order I issued when I took office. It should have brought a slight improvement to Bourbon's financial situation, right? And taxes on the Southern Seaway are coming.
Just when I was thinking so naively, the two-year post-war recovery period had ended, but the Assembly Palace still did not receive the tax that should be sent from the southern channel, but instead received an ultimatum from the southern channel.
"If the ancient principles of glory are not abolished, the autonomy of the Southern Seaway restored 300 years ago and given more autonomy, then the Southern Seaway will become independent from Bourbon."
When I received this ultimatum, I was completely confused.
