King

Trial implementation means supporting it with real money.

The Alpha Kingdom is not the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the internal centripetal force is much stronger. Especially when facing Orcs, Unity +120 is usually given.

Everyone present has a dual identity. They are both managers of the kingdom and shareholders of the kingdom.

As a leader, you must take the lead in buying at this time. If the top people are not confident in winning the war, the people below will be even less confident.

"As the marshal of the kingdom, I also proposed this plan, so I will take the lead and subscribe for six million acres of land bonds first.

In addition, the 2.3 million Kingdom bonds held in hand, as well as certain debts owed by the government, were all converted into land bonds to reduce the financial pressure on the Kingdom and save our Finance Minister from always complaining about high interest rates. "

Hudson said with a smile.

When it's time to lose money, you can't be petty. Having just returned from the front, everyone knew that Mr. Hudson had made a fortune.

What's more, he made a lot of money selling medicines before. The nobles of the kingdom are not rich, but they also have the credit of Ha's medicine.

No one knows the specific profit from selling medicine, but everyone can still make a preliminary judgment on the war fortune made from the Warhammer Kingdom.

The people below have all become rich, and it is even more impossible for him to be poor as a coach. Cash + various kinds of physical objects, discounted to three to four million gold coins, are definitely indispensable.

Considering the profit-making nature of magic potions, no one would believe him if he said he didn't earn millions of gold coins.

Rather than being remembered, it is better to take it out and forget it. Anyway, the kingdom is really out of money now. If it doesn’t want the kingdom to go bankrupt at this time, the major shareholders must inject capital.

Hudson had no choice but to sell all the high-interest bonds in his hands. Since the outbreak of the Continental War, the Ministry of Finance has announced that bond interest payments will be postponed until after the war.

To pay it off after the war, the kingdom's finances must be able to hold on until the war. No matter how high the interest income is, it cannot withstand financial bankruptcy.

Instead of waiting for the kingdom's finances to go bankrupt, it would be better to take the initiative and exchange them for land bonds, and gain a good reputation for taking care of the overall situation.

As for the issue of slightly higher land prices, that is completely a false proposition.

The land bonds held by the great nobles will definitely be cashed out in the future only for the arable land area, and other messy land will most likely become giveaways.

If the bonds are in the hands of small and medium-sized nobles, there won't be so many gifts, but when the area is calculated, there will probably be a discount.

If the bonds fall into the hands of a businessman, then there is nothing to say, no matter whether it is good or bad, they will be paid according to the truth.

Crossing class also requires paying a price. How could a fiefdom be obtained by just spending money without paying a premium?

There is no need to talk about unspoken rules in advance. Everyone who understands understands, and those who don’t understand don’t need to understand.

“Since Marshal Hudson has set an example, we cannot fall behind.

The royal family subscribed for land bonds of 7 million gold coins. In addition, the debt of more than 8 million owed by the Ministry of Finance to the royal family was also converted into land bonds. "

Caesar IV said with fake joy.

Obviously, his heart was bleeding when he made this decision. But there is no way. Marshal Hudson has paid so much, how can he be stingy as a king.

Buying land bonds may not seem like a loss, but the problem is that the current royal family is not short of land! There are three undeveloped provinces in the north alone, so there is no need to rush to the prairie to grab maps.

Land is an asset only if it is developed. Land that cannot be developed is nothing.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Finance owes a huge amount of debt to the royal family. He can exchange these debts, which are likely to be unfinished, into land bonds to make the numbers look even more dazzling.

It hurts, but I don't mean to blame Hudson. Issuing land bonds is undoubtedly the best tool for the Kingdom to get rid of the debt crisis in a short period of time.

The king and marshals took the lead in exchanging debts for land bonds. Are the nobles still embarrassed to collect debts from the Ministry of Finance?

With a simple exchange, the creditor-rights relationship changes. Most of the huge debt weighing on the Ministry of Finance was directly wiped out.

In a short period of time, the financial pressure was greatly reduced, and Marquis Delgado was able to take a breather. Otherwise, the Chancellor of Finance will be really overwhelmed, and a suitable replacement will not be found in a short period of time.

What's more, you don't have to pay directly to subscribe for land bonds. Strategic materials of equal value can also be discounted.

In times of financial difficulty, the kingdom purchased supplies from the royal family and the great nobles, which was essentially a white paper.

In the past, when the debt increased to a certain level and exceeded the financial repayment limit, creditors would take the initiative to reduce or reduce the debt.

Usually the Human Race Alliance issues a call, and international creditors announce partial debt relief, and domestic creditors naturally respond to the call actively.

But that is under the premise that the alien race is strong and all parties need the Alpha Kingdom to block the Orc Empire. Now that the advantages of the human race are becoming more and more obvious, there is no point in expecting such good things.

Compared with the last time the orcs invaded, it is now more difficult for the royal government to borrow money from the outside world.

Not only did it change from an interest-free loan to an interest-bearing loan, but a bunch of additional conditions were added, many of which exceeded the bottom line that the kingdom could accept.

If the outside world can't count on it, then we can only tap the internal potential. To put it simply, those who have money contribute their money, and those who have no money contribute their lives.

The two big men took the lead, and the ministers responded one after another, but the subscription amount was much smaller, and the total amount could not catch up with the amount of the two.

Hudson didn't panic at all. The richest people in the Alpha Kingdom were the great nobles from all over the country. Except for a few emerging nobles who are not rich, the rest are extremely rich.

Especially those ancient large families, the wealth accumulated over thousands of years is an astonishing figure.

Just look at the prices.

On the premise that productivity has not changed significantly, currency issuance has been increasing every year, and prices on the mainland have been stable for hundreds of years.

There is no doubt that these additional currencies eventually flowed into the cellars of the great nobles.

Compared with the nobles of the Southern Continent, the wealth accumulation of the Alpha Kingdom's noble group is not very generous.

Because of frequent wars, a large amount of the kingdom's wealth flowed out. After the war is over, economic deflation will even occur.

Of course, under the self-sufficient system of feudal monarchs, deflation had little impact on the economy.

If there is a money shortage, the worst case scenario is bartering. There wasn't much commodity trading in the first place, so the patience passed.

No matter how bad the economic environment is, the nobles will not let the serfs lose their jobs. If the grain cannot be sold, more warehouses will be built and piled up. The next time a war breaks out, storage can consume excess food production capacity.

Once the land bonds were sold, Hudson felt reassured. The higher the investment cost, the more tightly everyone will be tied to the chariot, and the less worried they will be about causing trouble.

After the great nobles from all over the country donate generously, all the interest groups in the kingdom will be locked in this war, and the internal conflicts will be suppressed to the maximum extent.

…

In the northern border, the orc army camp. The five emperors came to the front line to celebrate this hard-won victory together.

In recent years, the Orc Empire has been in a bad situation. After painstaking preparations to launch a war, the allies failed to follow up in time, causing them to be severely beaten by the human race.

After paying a heavy price, just as they were preparing to recuperate, the mainland war suddenly broke out again.

Being involved in the war again, everyone actually had no idea. Due to the situation, I had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Fortunately, the Seven Prairie Kingdoms were easy to bully, and they were able to deal with them without wasting much effort.

The difference between small countries and big countries is still very obvious. Being able to easily take down the seven grassland kingdoms does not mean that they can also easily defeat the Alpha Kingdom.

As old enemies who have been fighting for hundreds of years, everyone is well aware of the difficulty of the Alpha Kingdom. No one has any illusions about destroying this enemy. Everyone's goal is just to regain the lost territory.

Unexpectedly, after a sneak attack by Duke Daniel, the enemy took the initiative to strategically shrink and returned a large area of ​​land to them.

"My lords, now is not the time to be happy. If the enemy stays and fights us to the death, there is still a chance to annihilate them.

But they suddenly carried out strategic contraction, and all the combat plans originally deployed were no longer usable.

If nothing else happens, the enemy will change their commander soon. We want to destroy the Alpha Kingdom in a short time, I'm afraid..."

Before Duke Daniel could finish speaking, the Lion King interrupted: "Marshal Daniel, the current situation is very good.

Five years ago, we would have supported you in destroying the Alpha Kingdom without hesitation, but not now.

With the empire's current strength, even if it could destroy the Alpha Kingdom, it would not be able to stop humanity's counterattack.

The international situation has deteriorated too fast. The Orc Kingdom has fallen, and only sporadic armed forces are left to resist; the ancient survivors who can help us have been defeated by the Alphas.

The other races in the alliance are also having a hard time. They are all waiting for reinforcements from the elves, but those pedantic elves are pitifully inefficient.

Judging from the current situation, it is a great victory to be able to ensure that the races in the alliance will no longer be destroyed by the human race.

One wrong step, every wrong step.

All ethnic groups were hesitant and did not start with us a few years ago. They missed the best time to take action, which has already doomed the current tragedy.

The empire is unable to reverse the trend. What we have to do is to defend the existing interests and prevent the human race from continuing to grow! "

The words "cowardly" make it difficult to believe that they came from the mouth of the Lion King. You must know that a few years ago, he was still the most determined militant.

There is no other way, this is the power of the Iron Fist, the overlord of the continent. Only after receiving a beating in person did I know the weight of the mainland overlord.

In the face of survival, hatred is secondary.

After all, ambition needs support from strength. The last war extinguished the ambition of the five emperors to compete for continental hegemony. Now they just want to restore their strength.

After taking a look at the emperors, Daniel sighed secretly. If he had been in charge of the last war, even if they couldn't defeat the human race, they definitely wouldn't have suffered such a disastrous defeat.

"Your Majesty the Lion King, the situation on the mainland is indeed very unfavorable to us, but it is not much better for the Alpha Kingdom.

Without the pressure of the alliance, it would be difficult for the human race to unite as one. In the subsequent battles, even if they can get some support, the intensity will not be too great.

As long as the Alpha Kingdom is severely damaged, we can gain thirty years of time to recuperate.

For the stability of the empire in the next thirty years, we must continue to maintain our offensive in the coming battles. "

Now that the ambitions of several emperors are gone, the picture must be smaller, so that they feel that they can achieve it with just a little effort.

The main reason is that there are too many races in the orc empire, and even as the leader, he is restricted by all parties.

They say they want to unite, but the five royal families have been fighting for so many years. How can they eliminate the barriers with just one sentence?

No one dares to give up military power when it comes to the survival of the race. Daniel is the commander of the army, but he must be responsible to the five emperors at the same time.

The previous self-assertion caused a lot of slander. For the sake of victory on the battlefield, no one raised this issue, but the seeds of doubt were still planted.

Mediating internal disputes is also one of the coach's responsibilities. To do this is often more difficult than to win the battle.

…

Back in the mountainous area, after a good sleep, Hudson, who had just relaxed, was attracted by the data in his hand.

The northern continent is in constant war. Logically speaking, the number of refugees should continue to grow. However, the number of immigrants introduced in recent days has not increased but decreased.

"What do Immigration officials do for a living? Why did the number of immigrants suddenly drop?"

Hudson asked angrily.

Being in a high position, he has long been accustomed to keeping his emotions and anger a secret. The last time I lost my temper like this was two years ago.

It's just that the matter this time is too big, and no matter how well-trained he is, he can't cover up his inner anger.

The number of refugees accepted will be directly related to the future development of the mountain territory. It would be embarrassing if there was no one to expand the territory.

The opportunity to increase population on a large scale has been rare in decades. If we miss this opportunity and rely on natural population growth, we will not be able to keep up with demand no matter how much we encourage births!

"Earl, we have introduced a large number of immigrants, which has attracted widespread attention from the outside world. Although no one has stumbled, there are still many nobles following the trend.

Of course, this is only a secondary reason for the decline in immigration. With the cooperation of the Principality of Moxi, we have an absolute advantage in introducing immigrants.

But this situation changed at the end of last month. The slowdown in the number of refugees in the Principality of Moxi, coupled with the recovery of the Warhammer Plains, attracted a large number of Warhammer people to return.

Affected by these adverse factors, our plan to introduce refugees has also been frustrated. The Immigration Agency has already communicated with the Principality of Moxi, and I believe it will be soon..."

At the end of the day, Jacob's confidence suddenly ran out. The number of refugees is not as high as expected, and the introduction of refugee plans will inevitably be affected.

Even if the Moxi Principality government is willing to cooperate, now that the war is over, a large amount of abandoned land in their country still needs labor to cultivate.

Ultimately, there are still not enough refugees.

If you want to dig deeper, either the refugees are unwilling to stay in the northern continent, or the elven army is advancing too fast, and everyone has no chance to escape.

Hudson doesn't think it's the latter.

The alien alliance is still waiting for the elf army to support them. The elves are busy rushing for time and have no time to pay attention to the refugees fleeing in all directions.

No one deliberately hinders it, and the influx of refugees into neighboring countries is inevitable. Either go all the way south into the central continent, or flee to the relatively stable Principality of Moxi.

"Tom, send someone to notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ask them to send over the latest information on the war situation in the Northern Continent, as well as some international events worthy of attention."

Hudson immediately ordered.

As the marshal of the kingdom, the biggest advantage is that you can use the kingdom's intelligence network. As long as you are interested, you can let them check it out.

The only regret is that the Kingdom's intelligence network is very rudimentary, relying entirely on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' overseas agencies for collection. It can only receive some general intelligence and has not penetrated deeply into the governments of various countries.

"Okay, Count!"

While talking, Tom turned around and went out to implement it, leaving Jacob standing there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

"Okay, let's leave the issue of immigration reduction at that for now! The focus of the Ministry of Government Affairs is still on resettlement of immigrants.

In the past six months, the territory has received a large number of immigrants, which has also been a big challenge to the government system.

No matter what, settle them down first and give everyone a job. "

Hudson said calmly.

In just half a year, the population of the territory doubled. There are also a large number of refugees on the road, which is also a test for local governance.

In this regard, Hudson is undemanding. As long as the people are settled without causing any trouble, the remaining problems can be solved slowly later.

If there are no jobs, they will open up wasteland, build roads, and build water conservancy projects. Most of the swamp has been developed, but the remaining area is enough for everyone to be busy for a while.

After this is completed, we can adjust the industrial structure. It is estimated that the mainland war will be over before that day comes.

If we win the war, there will naturally be new territories for everyone to develop. If unfortunately they lose, they will suffer a lot of casualties and free up living space.

Compared with the external expansion of victory, defeat is the peak period of internal mergers. A large number of unlucky nobles lost their heirs, and it was another feast.

Anyway, it's all about making up for the losses, whether eating from the outside or eating from the inside. The only difference is that with major mergers, there is no room for alleviation of internal conflicts.

The decline of a country often begins with the intensification of internal conflicts. The harder you squeeze the inside, the faster it will collapse.
