Empires Start with Lords - Chapter 39
After hearing Mander’s answer.
Ross suddenly felt that he was not so short of money.
The point is, the women of the elves are very terrifying beings.
Ross’s palms were sweating a little. After wiping them, he patted Mander on the shoulder.
“Brother Mander, don’t worry, I have seen an elf woman in the future, and I will definitely help your father find one.”
Ross said with an oath.
Mander’s eyes glowed with golden light: “Really? Can you really find the elves?”
Mander couldn’t believe it. The elves were hard to find in the whole continent. There was a duke who offered a reward of millions of gold coins to find them, but for a few years, there was no clue.
If Ross can really find it, maybe Mander’s father will really provide three million gold coins.
With this money, the triangular trade area will definitely develop into the most prosperous area in the entire Aklan Kingdom.
At this time, Ross sent Mander away.
Before leaving, Mander ordered someone to send 100,000 gold coins from his castle. Obviously, Mander believed in Rose’s ability very much and did not want to miss the development of this triangular trade zone.
“This is 100,000 gold coins and I will help you. After that, my troops will be dispatched with you. Remember to notify me when the triangular trade zone is built.”
Mander reluctantly looked at the big bag of gold coins and said to Ross.
Ross nodded, saying that he would give Mander a piece of the pie.
After sending Mander away, a few knights grabbed a middle-aged man with a look of embarrassment and a dusty face being dragged in.
This man was Marquis Raisel. He was wearing a fancy dress worth tens of thousands of gold coins, but he was torn through several holes.
Ross glanced at the fat man with big ears in front of him and asked, “Have you heard a word?”
“what?”
Reisel was regretting in his heart. Why didn’t he reject the eldest prince in the first place, and now it is in Ross’s hands. Reisel could only silently pray that the eldest prince would come to save him as soon as possible.
“He who wins the hearts and minds of the people wins the world.”
Ross smiled and said something that was said by one of the greatest historical figures in his world.
Russell twitched his lips, thinking that Rose was enjoying the superiority after defeating him.
“Forget it, you don’t understand even talking to someone like you.”
Ross didn’t pay any more attention to Raisel. He just stepped onto the war horse and ordered, “Take him, all of you will follow me to the city of Raisel.”
Ross took a team of five hundred Knights Templar and a team of one hundred guardian knights out of the city.
Resel, who was carried on the horse behind Ross, was heartbroken, because he knew that if the first prince did not come to support, he worked so hard for a family to spend hundreds of years to accumulate the property, and the property that he finally owned. All the large territories belonged to Ross.
Obviously, there was no eldest prince’s army along the way, and there was no danger. Except for a few goblins and gnolls that appeared from time to time, it took Ross only two hours to arrive at Raisel City.
“It’s quite a big feeling.”
Ross glanced at the endless city wall. The caves he had attacked here before were quickly repaired.
nice.
Ross was really satisfied, “The scale of the buildings in your place is so large, why is the economic scale only twice as large as mine?”
Ross said to Raisel after entering the city.
Ross knew that if Russell’s economic level was five or six times higher than his own, then using the powder keg directly could kill Ross’s army indefinitely.
Russell was helplessly tied to the horse’s back, his stomach was bumped all the way, and now it hurts to death.
Raisel: “…”
The last time this treatment was given was the first lord defeated by Ross.
When the civilians of this city saw Ross bringing the army into the city, they did not close the doors and windows, but sprinkled petals and vegetable leaves in the aisles and cheered.
“Everyone is so enthusiastic. This is your city lord. I brought it back for you.”
Ross kicked Reisel with one kick, and was kicked directly to the ground by Reisel.
All of a sudden, all kinds of stones smashed towards Raisel’s head one after another.
Including some vegetables and fruits.
The civilians in this city were extremely angry with Raisel.
It turned out that this guy had already received the tax from the city twenty years later.
Moreover, Raisel is an extremely violent noble by nature.
Every year, hundreds of women in this city are played with by him, and even soaked in pig cages for his appreciation. The tax revenue is converted into money and used by him to play with women and kill innocent people indiscriminately.
After Ross knew about it, he gathered all the commoners and nobles, and tied Resel on the main square.
Ross said, “I have already avenged you, and now I will tie him here for a day and a night, and you will save his life.”
Ross is not like Raisel, he doesn’t like killing people by torture.
I just want him to make amends.
What’s more, it is useful for Ross to keep Raisel, and it is also very good to use it to threaten the eldest prince.
After all, I’m afraid the old king doesn’t know about the first prince’s invasion of the Ross territory.
Ross has an idea, and plans to go to the old king to report the eldest prince when he has time.
But this is also a very challenging thing, Ross must prepare a strong army.
Fortunately, Ross is extremely rich now.
In addition to the 100,000 gold coins sent by Mander, Ross himself has a total of 30,000 points of military merit.
400,000 gold coins, which is a huge sum of money in the Aklan Kingdom, enough to build an intermediate city.
Now that Ross has finally occupied the city of Rexel, there are 20,000 civilians and more than 1,000 nobles.
But it was only when Ross read the documents that he found out.
The property of more than 1,000 nobles accounted for 60%, while the 20,000 commoners living here accounted for less than 30%.
Snapped!
Ross immediately ordered that two-thirds of all noble property be handed over to the government.
Ross also built his own government here, and arranged several most trusted knight commanders to serve as general managers.
Sure enough, as expected by Ross.
Within two days, most of the nobles organized an army to protest against Ross’ forced expropriation of two-thirds of their property.
However, the size of their private army is obviously not comparable to that of Ross.
It didn’t take long for Ross to capture all of these people, and confiscated all the property they looted.
The next day, Ross **** these people. Most of the nobles among them had killed civilians, and Ross asked the court to retry these cases.
For a time, people’s hearts were greatly lifted.
All the civilians cheered Ross outside the courthouse.
Under Rose’s nose, the judge naturally dared not try to cheat these nobles for personal gain.
And Ross Heart issued an injunction prohibiting any private contacts between nobles and power institutions, and requiring all civilians to have the right to supervise.
Once discovered and evidence is left, all their property will be confiscated.
After that day, four-fifths of the nobles were sentenced to death.
The rest obediently handed over their property, leaving only a villa and a little cash…
