Starting Life as a Baron

"what?"

Sure enough, not only Rogner, but others couldn't believe it.

That's an empire!

The most powerful country on the entire continent actually wants to help them, the Principality of Alan.

But when they thought of what Alan said, it was exchanged with potions, and they understood a little bit.

After all, the final gift is the potionist's proud work.

They were even a little distressed and shouldn't have taken it out.

But one is the king and the other is the majesty of the Radiance Empire, neither of them can offend them.

"Now you have to work hard to spread the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce to the entire Radiance Empire, you know?"

Alan is very concerned about this, after all, if he has a huge chamber of commerce, other things will be much more convenient.

"Yes, Archduke." Rogner nodded.

Alan thought about "eight seven three" carefully, and nothing else happened.

"Baskulih, I decided to expand the army."

This Baskulih had no objection and nodded. "It should be the case, our Alan Kingdom's army is too small, but only a few hundred thousand.

"The other Grand Duke's armies are more than that. Now the Radiance Empire has moved 80 million residents to the Alan Kingdom, and the number has recovered a lot.

"Your Majesty, I suggest expanding directly to ten million!" Baskulih looked at Alan.

"Cough cough!" Alan almost choked to death.

Ten million!

Afraid not to eat myself poor!

"Baskulih, how many gold coins do they need to spend in total?"

"This, it shouldn't exceed 10 million a month, plus the money sent to them, it won't exceed 20 million at most."

The kingdom's annual tax revenue is about 10 billion, but although it is a lot, there are also many places to spend money.

And Alan has always agreed with the policy of elite soldiers, otherwise the number of troops is useless.

According to Baskulih's calculation, it is still possible to raise 10 million troops with 20 million a month, but to follow Alan's idea, I am afraid that the treasury will not be spent.

"It doesn't have to be that many, it's enough to recruit three million first, and the rest as a reserve army. 35

"Your Majesty, what is the reserve army?" Baskulih looked confused.

Alan knew that there was no reserve army in this continent, so he didn't blame them and explained in detail.

"The reserve army is not a soldier now, and there is no salary."

"As the army's backup, they usually don't need to train every day, but every seven days. Whether it's a reserve army or other soldiers, they only need to pay four levels of taxes."5

Baskulih pinched his beard and thought carefully.

He soon discovered the genius of this.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this can relieve our pressure, and in case of war, we can replenish it in time. It's too..."

Baskulih didn't know what to say, after all, the idea was so good that he couldn't believe it. The Archduke looks so young and so smart.

Seeing the calm expressions on other people's faces, Baskulih couldn't help but think of what he said before.

Could it be that the King is really the son of the God of War? He didn't believe it before, but when he thought about the reserve army, he was also a little suspicious.

Alan didn't think much about seeing Baskulih's strange look.

"By the way. The school I ran before also needs to be further expanded."

"But Your Majesty, we don't seem to have enough money at the moment." Baskulih grimaced.

"Building a school also requires magicians, potions, and extraordinary knights. These are not a small expense."

"And those buildings, the room and board for the students.

"The main thing is that most of those students can't pay tuition fees, which means we have almost no income."

Alan also had no choice, he rubbed his forehead.

"If it really doesn't work, we will start with the capital and continue to develop to other regions. 99

"Also, we can vigorously develop primary schools first.

"primary school?"

Baskulih said softly.

"Yes, just to teach some basic knowledge, the teacher's strength does not need to be too strong, if you find a guy with abnormal talent, you can recommend it to a more advanced school.

"In this case, the cost should be greatly reduced.

"Well, this is a way." Baskulih thought for a while and agreed.

There was nothing to do next, and Alan said a few words to let them go.

At this time, the Minister of Agriculture, Bacchus, came out and said to Alan: "Your Majesty, may I ask if there are other ways to get other earthworms, and now the land in the Kingdom of Alan needs to be improved.

Only then did Alan realize that the current land has no soil to improve the soil quality. I'm afraid Buster is not used to it.

But fortunately, I still have a lot of merit points left, and I'll just continue to change some when the time comes.

"Well, don't worry about this, I will provide you with another batch."

Only then did Buster let out a sigh of relief, and he was suffocated to death by this incident, and he never dared to say anything.

"Right." Alan suddenly thought of something, and it seemed that there was one more task he had not completed.

"Buster, you said before that it can be cooked five times a year, and now a year is almost over. Have you finished it yet?"

A flash of panic flashed in Bast's eyes in an instant, "Your Majesty, it has been cooked four times before, and now the fifth time should be still growing, and it will be mature soon, and there should be news at that time. If the king is in a hurry , I'll go back and have a look now."

"Forget it." Alan wasn't in such a hurry either, his system would definitely know when the time came, so he didn't need to worry.

But despite this, Buster still made up his mind, and immediately sent someone back to see it, and he had to pay more attention to the news of the Principality of Marco.

When Alan waited for them to go back, he saw that there were no outsiders around, and he entered the dragon's nest.

3.8 The current Dragon Nest has not become deserted because of the lack of a lot of small dragons, but it has become more lively.

As for the reason, it was naturally because Alan had exchanged ten dragons.

That's right, ten dragons!

It cost him a lot of money, but it was worth it.

Considering the characteristics of the gem dragon, Alan only changed five gem dragons.

Now they are still cubs, only a few meters in size, chasing and fighting on the ground.

And Luka and the others naturally disdain to play with them, they all fly in the sky, and when they are tired, they lie on top of the mountain.

And those cubs looked very envious, and made a squeak in their mouths.

Seeing Alan, they naturally felt intimacy and rushed over quickly.

Alan is naturally very happy, these are the high-end combat power of Alan Kingdom,
