Chapter 8 Public Opinion [2]
In the Riga Bay in Latvia, large and small merchant ships in the bay are full of goods destined for countries in the western continent. The goods of this ship can at least be exchanged for millions of gold coins. The profit is really eye-catching. Most of the merchants in the Norman Kingdom have now joined the ranks of the country's chambers of commerce and are protected by the royal navy. On the hull of any merchant ship, write a line in powerful Norman script: Remember, wherever you go, there is an army of the Norman Kingdom behind you to support you!
This sentence is absolutely domineering. When you go out, the merchants of the Norman Kingdom are three points tougher than others. Even if they see the powerful chamber of commerce from the Slavic Empire and the Roma Empire, they are not afraid at all. No country in the world dares to be as domineering as Tiger House. Little ants, in this kingdom, there is still the most basic dignity. Everyone has their own pursuits, but as long as the country is stable and prosperous, there will be no problem.
"The kingdom is ready to use troops. I want to raise money to form a grain team. At that time, His Majesty the King will recruit. This money is hard and can't escape. What do you think?"
On the dock of Riga Bay, several big businessmen were talking about something complaedly, surrounded by tall bodyguards. On the dock, the busy supervisors were shouting loudly. The huge taau-headed man worked hard to carry the goods and could make a lot of money in a day.
On the edge of the dock, next to the coastline, there is a seafood restaurant with a water. At the entrance of the window, these merchants sitting are full of red. Obviously, they always make a lot of money these days. These people were not real Normans, and their predecessors were merchants in the Kingdom of Latvia, but later they became shrewd and knew the benefits of becoming Normans. Now they don't miss their previous identities at all.
Speaking of which, the former Latvian identity did not give them any benefits or benefits. Under the exploitation of bureaucrats every year, there is no profit at all. We can only turn to the more powerless civilians and hard workers. But now it's different. Only the basic business tax needs to be borne. Although it looks quite heavy, it is definitely more than ten times better than before. And there is no need to rip off those bitter people against their conscience. Although the sweetness of this point is not gone, those coolies are more diligent, and their respective reputations are better.
"I'm not sure. His Majesty said he wanted to fight, and he must fight, but it's impossible to say whether he really wants to fight the Kingdom of Riel-Dian. After all, it is not so easy to launch a war across a Baltic Sea. Besides, if you want to fight, Lord Gareth in the north has been able to do it for a long time. Coupled with the presence of Governor Sahili, there can be no problem in the northern territory. So, I'm wondering if His Majesty wants to take action against others, and the expedition order of the Kingdom of Rildean is just a fog?
A businessman questioned shrewdly.
The people around him were stunned. The businessman continued to say, "In my opinion, if our grain team is to be formed, it must be formed. Everyone pays 100,000 gold coins, and there is absolutely no problem. At that time, the country will purchase food, which is definitely several times the price, and earn some profits back and forth, as long as It's not too much, and His Majesty will not pursue it. In addition, now there is a riot in Pell Prison, and the matter is extremely serious. There is no reason for His Majesty to turn a blind eye to it. Therefore, I don't think it will be necessary to make such a big move for such a weak kingdom as the Kingdom of Rildean in the future. The key point must still be in the central hinterland!"
Several businessmen are not stupid people. They earn tens of thousands of thousands of gold coins. Now when I think about it, there is indeed a little meaning in it. I think that maybe it is true. After all, the military power of the kingdom is now very strong, and there is no reason to deal directly with the Impel incident.
In addition, many people know how arrogant and domineering His Majesty King Tiger House is. How could He be so angry when he was fooling around in the chaotic city? One was unhappy. The white knife came in and the red knife came out, which was extremely refreshing. Now when I think about it, it seems that someone understands. The hot-tempered King's low-key must have made a big move.
When everyone thought about it, they felt that it was more and more obvious, so they said to their hearts: If your majesty is going to clean the central hinterland, I'm afraid it will have a wide range of influences. It is just the border between the two major empires of the Slavic Empire and the Roma Empire. If you do too much and provoke the hatred of the two empires, it is also very dangerous.
It's just that the Slavic Empire is in chaos today. The Ivanov family and the Slavic royal family have already torn their faces. With the former commander of the Western Legion, Vahini, as the trigger, there was the largest conflict in the central hinterland of the Slav Empire. Tens of thousands of troops defected. After defecting, they immediately fought with the king of the Slavic Empire. The national army fought, and at the same time, a steady stream of well-equipped family guards immediately gathered and formed a force that could not be ignored. In front of the huge war machine, the state of glued inside the entire Slavic Empire could no longer be pulled away. It's true that you have me, and I have you, and no one can give in. It's unbelievable.
"The possibility of the Slavic Empire is not very great. After all, although the military strength under the Kingdom Mountain is strong, the possibility of a real fight may not be as optimistic as we think. Now the Philland region and the Lithuania region have just begun to be completely developed. If we want to really make these areas become Nuo The actual control area of the Kingdom of Man will take several years, but I think His Majesty can't wait. The army must be a small dozen a year and a large dozen a year. Only by training the army and maintaining a strong desire to fight can the combat effectiveness be maintained at a high level. Although I don't know why our King is not afraid of the magicians of the Roma Empire, in general, the greatest possibility is still in the Millennium Empire. After all, this country is the biggest threat at present, and it may threaten the existence of our country at any time.
Although several businessmen have no political status, their minds are first-class. Several of them also turned around and shouted, "If there is no accident, they may oppress the Minsk Dominion of the Roma Empire near the central hinterland. After all, it is the current eldest prince of the Roma Empire, Alex. If the fief can make the Minsk Dominion crumble, I'm afraid it can alleviate a lot of trouble. At a certain time, it can even use the Minsk Dominion as a springboard to directly attack the hinterland of the Roman Empire. And the Northern Legion in Alex's hand is also because it has not conducted exercises and battles for many years. I'm afraid the combat effectiveness is not as good as our civil regiment. If it hadn't been for the struggling support of the Legion of magicians there, I'm afraid it would have been annexed long ago.
"These words, be careful!" A businessman said in surprise, "Although His Majesty is still very open-minded about his remarks, it's better to be careful. If someone takes this kind of thing, we will have a lot of money and may be remembered by our enemies at any time."
Several people were stunned and immediately whispered, but the topic gradually turned to the business in this period of time. Whether the goods were good or not and whether the profits were high had nothing to do with the topic just now.
However, although these businessmen say something messy, it makes sense to go vaguely, and it also proves the guidance of some public opinion. If these businessmen' eyes alone, how can they have such analytical ability and judgment ability?
In fact, while the whole country is widely publicizing the need to take action against the Kingdom of Riel Dean, there is another kind of statement spreading in the central Latvian region at the same time, that is, to knock on the powerful forces around it. There is no doubt that there is nothing around that can be counted and really threatening, except the Northern Legion of Alex, the eldest prince of the Roman Empire.
It's just that Alex has long withdrawn the Northern Legion from the actual station because of his deterrence from the two legions of Madage and Toti. In the Minsk Dominion, he settled down and watched the domestic situation and guarded the northern gateway of the empire.
However, people with bright eyes can see that His Royal Highness, this is afraid. He can't afford to lose. After all, according to common sense, if he wants to win the throne, it will be a matter of ironclas, but the reality is so cruel. There are many heirs, and many people don't want the eldest prince to become emperor. Coupled with the formation of a large number of new powers in the Roma Empire, they do not want to return to the period of imperial supremacy. After all, in the end, I'm afraid it will be empty. It's better to hold the power firmly now and fight it. Even if you hit the dog's brain, it has nothing to do with everyone.
After I die, I don't care about the flood!
These people, completely self-interested, do not pay attention to the future of the whole empire and even the future of the people of the whole empire at all. After all, this road has long been broken. The alternation of kings from generation to generation is just a surname and the name of a country. In fact, the most fundamental thing has not changed at all.
Let's talk about the reputation of the thousand-year-old empire, but now, everyone can see that at that time, there will be a vigorous civil war in the empire, and they don't know which bastard will be the emperor, and tens of millions of people will die, and take care of the emperor's bullshit? It's amazing. The throne takes turns. In the end, no one is easy to calculate.
It is such a time. No matter how the people around him calculate Tiger House himself, he also knows that as long as he comes step by step, he is not afraid that there will be no peak glory!
