Black Iron Crown - Chapter 725
The documents in Rainer’s hand suddenly became the focus of everyone’s hearts at this moment, and the empire lords’ eyes widened and almost saw the words written on the front face through the parchment.
They didn’t know what conditions Rainer had set up to make peace. A peace agreement was a condition for the monarch, and they had no right to interfere.
The same applies to all the members of the Jihad Coalition. They held their breath and concentrated their energy. This peace agreement that determined their interests did not want to leave them a word.
Rainer looked at the parchment and read the contents.
“In exchange for peace, just pay the following compensation for the need!”
“First, admit the failure of the war!”
“Second, the Kingdom of Bazaran withdrew from the western territory of the empire and returned all the land that the empire had taken!”
“Third, Pope Rosa, including Pope Rosa, recognizes that the emperor’s title is supreme!”
“Fourth, 300,000 gold coins will be used as indemnities for the war to make up for the huge losses suffered by the empire!”
“Fifth, for all lords of various countries, the king must give one-tenth of his income to the empire every year for twenty years!”
“Sixth, the nations recognize the sacred and inviolable empire’s territory!”
“Seventh, nations are not allowed to invade the empire’s territory privately for no reason, otherwise the jump will be invalidated and the empire will retaliate!”
“Eighth, the king of the Kingdom of Bazaran is prohibited from entering the Redka Imperial Palace, and his Majesty the Great Emperor personally raises and educates!”
“Ninth, the nations send members of the royal family to take up positions in the empire!”
There are a total of nine clauses, and Rainer read them one by one while observing the looks and expressions of everyone.
The first three clauses are not unacceptable to these people. Even the most demanding acknowledgment of honors is not a big deal. It is nothing more than a nominal matter, and there is no need to pay anything.
But the fourth and subsequent clauses are too unacceptable. What is the concept of 300,000 gold coins?
Even if the current Grand Duchy of the North is very rich, Rainer’s annual income is only 20,000 gold coins, and 300,000 gold coins are the income of the entire Northern Grand Duchy for fifteen years!
What’s more, the Northern Territory has developed in many aspects in Reiner. The commercial and agricultural output is huge and considerable, and at the same time, it has such income after the establishment of an efficient tax system.
Even if such a lot of money is as big as the entire empire, it is an entire three-year income, which is definitely a terrifying huge sum of money.
The western countries are large and small, but no country has a land area that surpasses the Grand Duchy of the North, and their wealth is very limited.
Such an amount is absolutely difficult for the wealthy trading countries in the South to come up in a short period of time.
Even if this figure requires seven countries, it is wrong, it is eight, Rosa Church also has to bear the compensation.
Even if there are eight countries to bear the three hundred thousand, each country needs to put out 37,500 gold coins.
And how can these countries spend such a large sum of money? Their annual income is even far less than that of the Northern Grand Duchy of Rainer, with 37,500 gold coins, which is the income of many countries for five or six years. This does not include expenses. If you count the expenses, you can pay for it. indemnity?
The fifth clause is relatively better. There is no need to pay such a huge indemnity, but it is very uncomfortable to pay one-tenth of the income every year and continue for a full ten years.
This means that they will not be able to save any property in these ten years, and they will have to live a hard life tightly. This is undoubtedly cutting meat with a dull knife.
No one cares about the terms of the Kingdom of Bazaran. Their queen has been captured, and the king is still so young, even most lords of their own country don’t care whether their king is at home or abroad.
However, the latter requirements are a bit difficult. Everyone present is not fools. The royal family members who have served in the empire are undoubtedly hostages in the hands of the other party. Few people are willing to send their relatives to the Tiger’s Lair in Longtan.
Lena’s terms immediately caused an uproar, and the lords of the jihadist coalition army stared at him in disbelief.
Even the empire lords under his command were extremely surprised, but the subsequent emotions of the two sides were very different, one was ecstatic, and the other was extremely depressed.
“This is absolutely impossible! This is too exaggerated! There will never be such an outrageous compensation amount in the world! Three hundred thousand gold coins! Do you want to gather the wealth of the world in your hands?”
“This is simply a condition that only the greedy dragon can offer! I will never agree to it!”
“What are you talking about! Do you want to fight another one!” Hearing their gaffeful remarks, Earl Jolar was extremely angry. He was irritated for a moment, took off the long sword from his waist and slapped it on the table, roaring road.
Count Cholar was not alone, and the rest of the lords also yelled at everyone in the jihadist coalition with blushing faces.
For no other reason, the wealth is really moving, and the conditions that Leiner put forward are beyond their imagination. Even if this group of people is either rich or noble, they are the ruling class of the behemoth empire, but they have never thought about it. Such a huge ratio of wealth.
Although the money cannot be owned by someone, it will inevitably be distributed, and Rainer’s subordinates have fifty or sixty direct vassals, so even if the emperor takes the bulk, he will have two or three points for himself. Thousands of gold coins!
Two or three thousand gold coins! A wealthy earl receives all his income for five years!
What’s more, there are more people who can take money. Those prisoners of war always need a ransom, right? One-tenth of the annual income must be distributed. Even a small lord of the baron level can get at least six to seven hundred gold coins.
Murder and set fire to the gold belt, these lords were almost blindfolded by this vast wealth. When Rainer was a baron in the north, he earned only ten gold coins a year.
Even if the Northern Territory is now richer, a baron who produces fifty or sixty gold coins a year is considered a great ~www.mtlnovel.com~ But if you go out, most of them are used to support the army, pay annuities, and eat, drink, and banquets. Hundreds of gold coins, they didn’t even think about it.
In order not to lose half of their life, the other side confronted each other in an uncompromising gluttonous feast. At this time, even the most cowardly people showed their fangs to deter the other side.
“Are you sure you don’t accept these terms at all?” Rainer stood up from his chair as he looked at the two sides at odds with each other.
The emperor was born to be eye-catching, and when he opened his mouth, everyone’s attention was caught in an instant.
“Since you firmly disagree, it is a pity that we can only meet each other on the battlefield. It’s not that I don’t want to usher in peace. It’s that you are too much. I invaded our country but didn’t want to pay compensation. There is no such good thing in the world!” Rainer said coldly.
Afterwards, he got up again and said to his vassals: “Since they don’t give it, then we will personally use the long sword in our hand to get it!”
