Kingdom of Golson, Northern Border Region

boom!

"Okay, okay! I like to see them like this. Winterley, your gunpowder bag ballistae is a good design. Come on, reward him with a box of silver coins."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. However, the gunpowder packets fired by my ballista can only be effective when it is not raining."

"Then continue to work hard and contribute to the kingdom."

Although he said this, King Padsefino Galson felt bitter in his heart.

After the domestic salt tax was controlled by the Negan Kingdom, that is, the dark elf forces, although the Golson Kingdom did not openly pay a large amount of war compensation, but...

However, there are many bankrupt little nobles in the Kingdom of Golson, especially after the dark elves established a building called the embassy in the southeastern border area. The dark elves who came to the Kingdom of Golson for field inspections are really sharper than the last.

To be honest, how did they dig out the private treasury of every little noble and little lord, and then make these guys who didn't pay taxes seriously before become broke. For example, the father of Winterley, who designed siege weapons specifically for him, was actually able to manage a population of 6 [to be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple. 】【To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple. ] Viscount of the town above.

But everyone also understands, how can a noble with no money in his pocket be qualified to show off? It's good enough to be a beggar in a crowded place and pray for mercy from the people passing by. The dilapidated nobles are not as good as the common people. They can only rely on their own martial arts and military service, as well as honest business and research to have a chance to revive their families.

And it is precisely because of the failure of the winter crusade launched by his father that the current Galson Kingdom can no longer produce any gold and copper resources, and the only remaining silver can only be obtained from newly discovered mineral veins. circulation. For this reason, the salt currency policy that was originally implemented has to continue to be implemented.

But what surprised him was that the dark elves were more wary of fake salt dealers than he was. He had even seen how the mercenaries of the dark elves used various weapons that he had never heard of (something that could emit powerful electric currents). coil pole) and a variety of powerful spells that completely surpassed the acolytes of the ascetic church (directly summoning thunderclouds to continuously launch lightning bombings without chanting spells) to pursue a group of fake salt dealers.

At the same time, as the communication with the Negan Kingdom deepens, another taboo of the dark elves is drugs like green ointment.

Whoever caused it will die, and the place will be cleared immediately.

Like Braver, he has been attacked by dark elves many times and is currently hiding on a hidden hillside waiting for death.

The former green ointment manufacturer not only gave him a lot of wealth, but it also caused great dissatisfaction among the dark elves.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

After the defeat, the Kingdom of Golson was forced to sign the Inner Border 2 [To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple are available. ] Kilometers of border free zone, in addition to the establishment of the embassy, ​​the dark elves' caravans are also allowed to conduct business in this free zone, and accept certain special commissions that are difficult to handle in the Kingdom of Golson.

Especially the eradication of members of certain ascetic churches.

Yes, the Kingdom of Galson is still on the path to fight against the Ascetic Church just like the Principality of Aiken.

However, compared to Sidney Aikorn, Padsafino Golson has always openly maintained his respect for the Ascetic Church. But privately, Padsafino even had the idea of ​​establishing another church.

To this end, he spent twenty years, and with the paid services of the dark elves, he had actually ensured that the members of the Ascetic Church in the Kingdom of Golson were basically decoupled from the large church on the other side of the palace.

The only thing is that he really doesn't have the ability to start a religious war now and call on his kingdom to completely cut off ties with the Ascetic Church. Even now, he still has to pay a large sum of money (several fleets of salt) to the headquarters of the Ascetic Church in Overflow City every year.

Independent and powerful.

These two words, which have been listed as top priorities and missions since the first king of the Kingdom of Galson, Padsafino really found it extremely difficult.

Starting from the time of his ancestor, Emperor Luqman, Padsefino understood the importance of culture and religion, and even more clearly understood the necessity of having a strong enough army. However, the Kingdom of Golson was a defeated country. According to the rules of the Kahn Empire, it was a common occurrence in history to pay compensation and cede territory. So much so that the royal family of the Kahn Empire often provoked fights between princes in order to profit from them.

However, the dark elves in Negan Kingdom also know such rules. Therefore, the Negan Kingdom extorted the output of several mineral veins from their Golson Kingdom, and also controlled salt tax and customs duties, two important sources of national fiscal revenue. As a result, something happened that he didn't know how to judge, that is, the average life expectancy of people in the Galson Kingdom increased from 33 to 56 years.

The diet from the Dark Elf forces is constantly changing the life span of the citizens of the Kingdom of Golson, and many things that were originally prohibited by the Ascetic Church are widely circulated or openly sold in large quantities.

One of them is liquor.

In response to this, Padsefino himself completely ignored the resistance of the Ascetic Church and simply bought 20 bottles to drink slowly.

Not to mention the various steel blades that the Dark Elves have been selling to the entire Kahn Empire, but have been obstructed by the Ascetic Church.

For the steel used in these blades, the Kingdom of Golson is the only country among the major princes of the Kahn Empire that has achieved 60% consistency. The rest of the princes and even the Kahn royal family, they have to pay huge sums of money (no salt, only gold, silver and jewelry) to buy Golson's imitations.

As for where the genuine Dark Elves are?

Of course, it's on his waist.

As a king, how can he let go of good things easily? Especially the high-quality blades that his kingdom cannot produce, he said he had to buy them all at once. Moreover, even if he couldn't buy them all at once, he had to buy as many as possible.

At worst, he could resell his own imitations and continue to use the money of other princes and the royal family to buy another batch.

As for the generosity... sorry.

If good things are easily obtained by others, then wouldn't his Majesty the King be just like an idiot?

Don't forget, he is not a great philanthropist, his kingdom is a weak country that signed an unequal agreement. Who has the leisure to support others, and then let others take your things and destroy your country, it's better to be direct.

Learn from the dark elves how to strangle others and develop your own national strength first.
