The Lord Who Wants to Be Emperor

Aslan is different from other lords in that the tax collected by him has been used for various public facilities.

School construction, try our best to make all the people's children can read books. The construction of the new urban area allows people to live in bright and spacious new buildings.

Not to mention the benefits of connecting roads and other public facilities in various places, allowing people to feel personally on the ground.

People are naturally willing to pay taxes.

Anyway, whoever becomes the lord must pay taxes. Just pay taxes to Aslan, and the people pay willingly.

The looting that lasted for half a month made the Shifang Alliance very angry, and quickly pulled up a large net to encircle the three armies deep in the hinterland.

However, the old foxes like Yitzhak evacuated directly when there was a slight turmoil, causing the Shi Fang Alliance to slam into the air and had to rebuild the defensive line.

Once the united army camp, it is still in ruins, but the original big pit has been buried.

As Yitzhak led the people through the old camp, he couldn't help but sigh, "Aslan is crazier than I expected."

The officers around remained silent one by one.

Can that be described as madness? That is simply a devil.

There are not five hundred thousand soldiers from the ten-party coalition forces in the Chong United Army Camp, but there should be four hundred thousand! It's all gone.

The construction of the new fortress is in full swing, and there is a huge camp next to it, which is filled with countless materials, many of which are the food and grass they need now.

Aslan was leading someone to count the grain and grass, and Jato was quietly behind Yitzhak, acting as a guard.

Yitzhak walked over with a big smile.

"Great victory! Congratulations."

Aslan handed the list to Jeddoo, and said without hesitation: "It's just that the casualties are a bit high. In the next few years, Melox province can only rely on honestly nesting at home and farming."

Yitzhak became a little embarrassed, and it was not easy to communicate.

"Here is the one million tons of food in the treaty, and on the other side is the first batch of food sold to the kingdom, totaling one million tons." Aslan saw Yitzhak embarrassed and changed the subject in due course.

"That's great, these grains are just right to solve the current urgent needs of our army!" Yitzhak said happily.

Aslan asked directly: "Then how much do you plan to buy?"

Yitzhak was dumbfounded, and he also understood what Aslan meant. The price at which the contract was signed at the beginning was exactly the price during the harvest period. Compared with the current market price of food, the difference between the two was more than ten times.

"Five times the price!" Yitzhak asked tentatively.

Aslan pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Happy cooperation!"

Yitzhak couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He was also worried that Aslan would speak loudly. After all, this time he went south to plunder and he could not grab much food at all. Instead, he consumed a lot of food. It can be seen from this that for some time to come, I don't know how many people will starve to death.

After loading all the food into the truck, a mighty convoy began to drive out of the united army camp, watching the huge convoy leave, Yitzhak suddenly said a word.

"If you can, I hope your army can accept more vagrants."

Aslan nodded.

This is the development plan of Mellock in the next few years, and it will naturally take in refugees.

Alonso came back this time, he came back early, but was blocked by strange enemies halfway, when he rushed back, he just saw Yitzhak received all the grain and was slowly withdrawing back to the road to Kyoto, watching the mighty Alonso couldn't help screaming at the stumbling convoy.

This time he robbed him of hundreds of millions of mark coins. There were only tens of thousands of gold coins. Today's ten-party alliance has suffered serious inflation due to war. Now the mark has been seriously depreciated, not to mention that Kyoto no longer accepts the mark as currency. The new currency was launched, and the new currency was still dominated by metal coins, with very stable purchasing power.

Bringing these marks back to Kyoto seems to be a lot of one hundred million, and the actual purchasing power is not even one-tenth. This is the attitude of the whole kingdom of Cleveland towards the marks.

If it were not for the pressure of commodities, the depreciation rate of the Mark coin would continue to rise.

"It's not the time for Alonso to get angry. He will buy food from Aslan with the looted Mark coins. Otherwise, the Snow Fox Army will be under great pressure in the future." Yuri reminded helplessly.

Alonso opened his mouth slightly, and finally gave Yuri the responsibility of buying food.

Obviously, he didn't have the guts to go in person, he was afraid that Aslan would use this to humiliate himself.

He finally realized that when the support treaty was signed, there was no fixed candidate for the purchaser of food and grass, and the reason why Aslan firmly chose the Kingdom of Cleveland.

From the beginning, he planned to use this to catch the kingdom's neck. The grain would still be sold, but it was impossible to sell it at the price of the contract.

Because Aslan has the right to choose, he doesn't buy it. There are a lot of nobles and lords in the kingdom who will sell it.

Yuri went to the United Army camp alone, and then very simply bought the food, but bought it at ten times the original price, and then calculated the depreciation of the mark.

With nearly 100 million marks, Yuri only bought 100,000 tons of grain, which is almost 200 million catties, which is enough for the snow fox army's 100,000 army to consume for 18 months, and should be able to support the snow fox army until the locust plague passes.

In the end, Karaal was very simple in the future. He had already received the news that the very bachelor handed the looted 200 million marks to Aslan in exchange for 200,000 tons of grain to take back.

It’s just that he is more experienced than Alonso. This time he robbed a grain storage silo of the Ten Sides Alliance. There were still more than 200,000 tons of grain in it. The grain was sufficient for the consumption of the Iron Wall Legion and could be subsidized. To the territory.

As for handing over to the emperor, that is impossible, even the regent. This is the biggest loophole in the existing Cleveland kingdom system.

The only area that the royal family can rule is Cleveland. When the Shifang Alliance splits the kingdom, the lords everywhere refused to pay any taxes on the grounds of preparing for war. If the emperor could not protect them, they would directly surrender to the Shifang Alliance and become the Shifang Alliance. A member of the.

This has to be said to be a kind of irony.

After staying in the battlefield hospital for another half month, all the soldiers who could be saved were rescued, and the soldiers who could not be saved were sealed by Aslan with ice magic and brought back to their hometown.

One month after the end of the defense of Melox.

Lord Merlot, Marquis of Aslan, **** 40,000 heroes home with your Merlot army.

Every time it passes through a region, the corpses of the frozen soldiers will be handed over to the regional united army under the city gate.

Merlot soldiers took off their helmets one after another, bowed their heads and watched the bodies of the fallen soldiers into the Martyrs Cemetery.

This is a strong request from Aslan to allow all regions to be established after the war.
