Heroes of Silver Moon

"Has the interrogation come out?" In the lord's mansion, Simon sat behind the desk after a long absence and asked Cirillo.

Dare to behave wildly in his territory, these people really don't want to live...

"I found out that the person in charge is the grandson of Earl Rosen, and the rest of them are the heirs of the lords around the new French Territory." Cirillo, who is the Minister of Intelligence, replied.

"Hmph, a group of idiots, hang them all!" Simon sneered.

When I came back this time, I didn't intend to settle accounts with those lords, because the development of the new law did harm the interests of those people.

Simon also expressed his understanding of the hostility of that group of people.

But when he came back and encountered this kind of thing, it also meant that those people didn't even have any intention of reconciling. In this case, why should he give those people face again.

As for the idiot of the Rosen family, it was obvious at first glance that he was being used...

But so what, when he came back this time, Simon had no intention of getting along with the Rosen family.

There can always only be one boss in the southern border. If the lord of the southern border is to be obedient, he must first bring down the Rosen family.

"This... my lord, do you need to inform those families?" Even Cirillo, who had never been afraid of nobles, was shocked by Simon at this moment.

Regardless of the reason, hanging other family members directly means that there is no possibility of maneuvering. The two sides can only fight to the death until one side bows its head and admits defeat.

"No, just hang yourself!" Simon waved his hand nonchalantly.

He has always been dissatisfied with the implementation of the new law by the new law leader. Now that the new law leader has just taken shape, he wants to let everyone see what it means to treat the law equally.

Even nobles who violate the laws of the new law must die for me!

"Follow your will." Seeing Simon's indifference, Cirillo shrugged helplessly.

Alright, let’s offend those nobles to death, anyway, it’s really not going to work in the end, and the church will give this master the bottom line...

After Cirillo left, Deborah and Harris entered the study.

"During the time I left, there was no problem with the territory, right?" Simon asked.

The new legal collar has just been developed, and as a result, he, the lord, will go away for two years, and many strange problems will definitely arise.

"No new army." Harris replied very positively.

The new army emphasizes strict discipline. Since Simon rectified military discipline and punished senior officers such as Siegel and Bulder, the officers of the new army have always been very law-abiding.

Deborah showed embarrassment and said, "The wind of greed is spreading in the territory."

"Tell me specifically." Simon raised his eyebrows and asked.

Deborah sighed and said, "During the time you've been away, the people have been demanding territories and giving them ownership of their fields.

The craftsmen who came to settle in Xinfaling hoped to learn the iron-making, cement, and paper-making technologies of the territory.

The caravans who come to Xinfaling to do business also hope that we can further reduce taxes and obtain more trading quotas for cement and refined salt. "

In all fairness, public ownership of land is definitely the best way to protect the rights and interests of the people. This can effectively prevent a large number of land acquisitions by powerful and wealthy people.

But the people in the new legal system obviously don't think so...they only know that the land they cultivate now still doesn't belong to them.

As for land annexation? Future generations have no land to cultivate? That's none of their business...

There are also those craftsmen, an unknown number of them are spies from other forces. The industrial technology of the new law has always been top secret, so it is possible for these people to learn unconditionally.

Finally, there is the appeal of those businessmen. The new law collar only charges fixed booth tax. In this world, there is no place where the tax is lower than the new law collar. How else can the tax be reduced?

In fact, Xinfaling is now losing a lot of money every year, and Simon himself is filling in the holes.

"That's it..." Simon nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that his methods were still too gentle, which made some people think that he, the lord, was weak and deceitful.

That being the case, let's try it!

"Harris, how is the training of the new army?" Without discussing this matter with Deborah, Simon looked at the chief military officer of the new French territory.

He is a person who always likes to cut messes quickly, especially when he has the strength to fight against the rules...

If you don't have the strength to fight against the rules, then of course you are doing things honestly, but since you have the ability to fight against the rules, it is undoubtedly pedantic to follow the rules.

"The new army is in good condition, and they are all well-trained veterans." Harris narrowed his eyes, and he had already guessed why Simon asked this.

Before the establishment of the new legal system, the new army had already been established. Now five years have passed, and the former recruits have long since become experienced veterans.

"How about the ammunition?" Simon asked again.

As a hot weapon army, the ammunition equipment status can completely match the combat effectiveness of the new army. Before leaving the new law leader, he had already established a bullet production line.

"Now the new army has a total of 4,500 riflemen, each equipped with 20 rounds of rifle ammunition, and 300 cavalrymen, each equipped with 30 rounds of pistol ammunition."

"One hundred revolving machine guns, four hundred machine gunners, and two hundred rounds of rifle ammunition for each machine gun."

"There are one hundred artillery pieces and eight hundred artillerymen, but there is a lack of shells. Each artillery piece is equipped with less than ten shells." Harris replied methodically.

As the highest officer of the new army, he has long been familiar with these situations.

"Well, that's it..." Simon stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

Bolt-action rifles, revolver pistols, rotary machine guns, and smoothbore artillery, these four things are the main weapons equipped by the new army. Among them, rifle bullets and machine gun bullets are common~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Before the new law was established, two The production line of bullets can meet the consumption of the first three weapons, but the shells still have to be rubbed by Simon's hands.

In the two years since Simon left the new French collar, in order to save ammunition consumption, the artillerymen of the new French collar have not conducted live ammunition training for a long time.

"Deborah, send a notice to the families of those idiots tomorrow, asking them to apologize and compensate for all losses caused by the new law, otherwise we will use force to resolve this matter!" Simon yawned and said .

In fact, the other party made it clear that it was impossible to agree to such a price, and Simon didn't want the other party to agree. He just wanted a reason to send troops.

It will definitely take a long time to subdue all the southern lords.

This is a very good opportunity. If the indecisive old man comes back, or if the lord of the northern border gets involved, then the southern border will inevitably fall into confrontation and tension, and the problem may not be resolved for several years.

It's better to cut through the mess with a sharp knife, taking advantage of the king's absence in the kingdom, and before the lord of the northern border has reacted, take the southern border into his hands in one fell swoop.

"Is this... a little too arrogant?" Deborah still seemed a little hesitant. He felt that even if he wanted to fight the Lord of the North, he had to take his time.

Acting in such a domineering way, it is easy for the new leader to be criticized...

"Oh, sometimes, arrogance is also a qualification, isn't it?"

Simon looked out of the window with deep eyes. The new French policeman in black uniform was putting the noose around the necks of those noble young masters.

Accompanied by the sound of the hemp rope being straightened, several people struggled violently, and then gradually died out.

The current new law collar is not the new law collar a few years ago...
