Chapter 27 The Sea Coachman [3]

It takes so much effort to play a sea game, and many people still doubt Tiger. House's decision was whether his head was kicked by a donkey, or whether the big devil's head was caught by the door panel. It's just that no matter what, this situation is a little subtle. While people are excited about the great victory at sea, they are keenly aware that there are more and more men around them who are preparing to go to sea. And there are more and more people who come back after going out.

In the northern coastal areas of the Grand Duchy of Norman, you can often see such a scene, a millionaire with tens of thousands of people, picking up a few sailors a little arrogantly. Those elites have been drafted into the army, or have been eaten by those big conglomerates for a long time. It's really difficult to find a group of good sailors to go to sea. However, this does not prevent them from pursuing overseas trade, which is enough for sloppy.

He only needs to mobilize these people to rush out of the mainland and then go to the sea. Only at sea can there be huge profits and endless wealth.

Profit, isn't that what we pursue?

If there is no interest, it is impossible for so many people to rush to the sea without hesitation. This is still something that can be done everywhere.

"Last winter's tax has set a new record. It seems that by the end of February this year, there will be six million gold coins." As the chief minister in charge of finance, Catherine. Her Royal Highness raised her head in surprise, and then said indifferently.

Ma Hu, who was sitting on the first seat, supported his chin with one hand and glanced calmly at the people sitting on the long table. At the beginning, he secretly went to sea without telling a large group of people. When he proposed to dominate the North Sea, countless generals and ministers showed disdainful expressions on their faces, which made Ma Hu very unhappy. However, he is a person who likes to speak with practical actions. Therefore, let these people know immediately who is the real wise god.

In addition to being more and more respectful to Ma Hu, the ministers are more to Tiger. The panic of House, the demon. This man has exceeded the imagination of too many people. But this is a good thing for them, isn't it?

"Seventy-five percent of the fiscal revenue for half a year comes from commercial tax, and 90% of the commercial tax comes from shipping trade. The principality's draw from it is as high as 40 million gold coins, which is almost the fiscal revenue of Latvia for the whole year, and it is all. Catherine. Nar aggravated his tone at the last bit, as to whether it was Tiger or not. House's instructions are unknown. But in any case, Catherine's words still make many ministers think about a problem.

After a long time, Ma Hu raised his head, glanced at it with cold eyes for a week, and said slowly, "Only expansion can we ensure that our existence is meaningful. Otherwise, when the whole Roman Empire settles down in a year, we will have no good fruit to eat.

He stood up and paced with his head held high like a king, arrogant and with a banditry prejudice. He took two steps, pressed his hands on the top of the chair, and then said slowly, "The army can't expand indefinitely. The twelve legions are already the limit of our population. Of course, in the eyes of the people here, this may not be much. But, ladies and gentlemen, we are making a lot of gold coins for the whole country and even for ourselves. We are in the same boat.

His eyes were full of ** sex, shaking his eyebrows provocatively, and he walked to Ruth. Behind Feng Ke's little girl, he condescendingly watched the rich ** under the velvet coat. The deep cleavage made him raise his eyebrows and gave a pleasant admiration.

It seems to feel a hot air from the top to the bottom, Ruth. Feng Ke's face was slightly red, but he still remained calm. This woman was still so stubborn and strong.

"I am not afraid of challenges from the sea. At least, no country in this world is willing to spend a lot of money on the sea that seems to be bottomless. However, we are on the right path. Interests, profits and wealth are all what we want to pursue. With enough money, we can maintain a strong enough army. It's easy to smash an army with money, but it's very difficult to experience it. But anyway, first of all, you have to have an army.

"I think as the first leader of this new country, it is necessary for me to express my future or the goals I want to achieve recently. This ambition is obviously very scientific and worth considering. I can also tell you frankly that I really want the Kingdom of Latvia! Don't hesitate!"

The warm day just now obviously didn't last long, the cold and murderous Tiger. House's dead face returned to him in an instant. In an instant, the whole council chamber seemed to fall into an ice cellar, but no matter what, there were still so many people there.

After a long time, Charles, a dead face, who had long known that he should not disappear, said, "I agree."

The frosted hoarse sound is like a broken voice crashing again, giving people supreme noise.

"Your Majesty's point of view is extremely sharp." He paused and seemed to be ready to make a long speech. After a change of breath, he continued, "We have this ability and the necessity. What we are facing now is just a piece of meat bone that must be eaten in the mouth. His metaphor was just right, at least it made the dull atmosphere happy in an instant. No one expected that this old man would make some cold jokes.

But if someone knows that he really thinks so, I don't know what it will feel like.

"From a geographical point of view, we are adjacent to Latvia, and the population gap is almost the same. However, once we annex Latvia and operate according to our existing model, we will definitely integrate the population of the two countries and complete the transformation of a regional power. At that time, even if we have a local large-scale war with the Roma Empire, we don't have to worry about fear. What's more, in this way, we have more coastlines and can complete the blockade of Scandinavia in the southeast. At that time, the countries in the far north had to choose to ask for us, and we controlled their lifeline. The necromancer hit the nail on the head and seemed to see through the essence of the problem.

When the Viking Han Shashili looked at him a lot, at this moment, if there is still someone who can't understand, there is no need for him to continue to stay in the high-level to eat and die. In the face of this situation, some people have a question in their minds. Nowadays, how many benefits can the principality share?

Only Catherine, a girl, came out to concretize this kind of thing.

"Your Excellency proposed that the consumption of materials in any future war should be handed over to private procurement, which can save a lot of procedures. However, once you find that someone wants to eat the difference in quality from here, you can only kill without mercy!" Catherine said such a sentence lightly before she said, "Your Majesty intends to let 35% of the army's booty be distributed as minister's welfare, hoping to get the consent of everyone, so you can have a show of hands!"

Catherine said with a blank face.

"I agree!"

As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately stood up and shouted.

"I agree with my hands up!"

There are also people who are unwilling to be the queen.

In this council chamber, there are probably more than 60 officials, large and small. Although there is no guarantee that all of them are elites, at least they are not fools. Everyone pursues interests deeply, and no one will dislike that there are too few gold coins on them. As long as they can make their pockets rich and let them rape the saints of the church, it is not impossible.

Although the horse boss standing behind Ruth's little girl was expressionless on the surface, he sneered in his heart: It seems that this is the king's way.

His means are always such a lack of creativity, but they are effective to make people tremble. If you are disobedient, you will be stunned by your fist and gold coins. He followed in the clouds. Even if he wanted to go through fire and water, he didn't know if his brain had followed.

Catherine glanced at it for a week and said to herself: This bastard man's method is really a lark, but there are really not many monarchs like him who can divide profits. If my father could have been more generous at the beginning, there might not have been anything later.

Unfortunately, there is a very good saying in this world, that is: there is no if.

"Well, gentlemen, it is clear that your behavior and will are consistent with mine, which is a very gratifying performance. From any point of view, your behavior is wise. This is a wise move. I have a view from all times, that is, everyone earns money, benefits, and everyone shares them. I can allow you to do something under my eyes, but if it's beyond my tolerance, I don't mind erasing your family and your family. Then he cut his neck with his fingers, grinned, and said evilly, "Sle it!" Erase it all!"

The people who were still excited just now were like being fished out of the ice and snow, and they were cold all over. This kind of chilling words really sent people. It seems to be remembered in an instant, oh, by the way, it turns out that this guy is the infamous ice tiger!

This does not affect the pursuit of most people. Gold coins, interests and wealth are just like this.

However, Boss Ma's goal is not just that. In addition to tying up his army with his officials and himself, he is also determined to make the citizens of the whole country have such a link of interest with him. Let all the people of the Grand Duchy of Norman know that only follow and respect Tiger. With the reputation of House, then they can gain meager freedom and dignity, and on this basis, they can also get a little profit to make them live happily and live better and better.
