Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 121 "The Anda War"
After a while, the Queen Mother will pick out some lucky nobles, award titles and huge rewards, and the reasons are very random.Sometimes it was because a certain nobleman performed well during the pilgrimage and successfully won her favor; sometimes they actively attacked the rebels and achieved remarkable results; Give him a reward.

This made the nobles flock to it, and many of them stayed in Dadu, circling around the Queen Mother every day, just waiting for the reward from this big money maker.The nobles favored by the queen mother will soon be able to bring a large harvest and prepare to go home to live a good life.

The khan court caravan from Dadu will send a large number of rewards: the priceless Seris brocade, the gorgeous Javanese porcelain, the sea Dongqing tamed by the Muscovites, and even the high-grade timber harvested by the Novgorodians from the extreme north to make Complete furniture... These dazzling products began to pour into the Serbian countryside.

Of course, every time the queen mother rewards, it is impossible to give all these top luxury items.According to tradition, when rewarding, a larger number of relatively common items will also be given as gifts to support the amount and make the nobles more face.

Byzantine silk, pottery from Greece, fur from the Ross region, wine from France and Crimea, and even wool products from the grasslands... These things may not be common in the countryside, but they abound in the metropolis.

Compared with my hometown, I can find more exquisitely crafted goods here, but the price is actually cheaper.So it's better to buy them all here and then bring them back.

The Empress Dowager and the circle of nobles and ladies around her also encouraged this kind of behavior.She said that everyone has seen the world now, and they don't have to be as restrained as those country lords.The money she rewarded was for everyone to spend.

Under this atmosphere, the nobles who had just entered the city were dazzled.Their money disappeared like water again, replaced by carts of goods.Later, the Empress Dowager even specially arranged for royal merchants to guide them on what to buy with the highest cost performance and the most decent.

But as time passed, the nobles gradually realized that something was wrong.

The queen mother's words, if you think about it carefully, are actually not wrong.Given you so much money, you won’t be able to spend it when you bring it back to the countryside?However, with the influx of goods from many capitals, instead of being rich, the territory became poorer.

When a lord has several Javanese dishes in his house, and the knights have a set of Greek pottery and several silk clothes, the craftsmen in the town have no good business.Some craftsmen often choose to leave, which leads to the rapid decline of this industry.

Some nobles found it was wrong, so they refused to spend money in Dadu, and called on everyone to bring the funds back to the local area to help their hometown.The queen mother did not stop it.However, when these coins entered the local market, it caused even greater confusion.

The nobles were at a loss, unable to figure out what was going on.

Some people vaguely felt that it might be because there was too much money.

At that time, Dadu had gradually regained its vitality. After the "Civil War", the Ross trade route was gradually opened up, and most of the areas around the Black Sea settled down.As for the Italian businessmen who withheld most of their commercial income back then, when facing the Khan court, they were not only forced to give up their previous taxation privileges, but also had to pay back the rent for the docks and waterways.

In this case, most of the income of a terminal for several months poured into a Serbian rural territory in an instant, and the latter would undoubtedly "explode" directly.The queen mother actually blasted each territory in sequence from time to time.

Once, this was an independent area, and the nearby Greece and Bulgaria areas had been war-torn for a long time, and they were no longer rich places.Moreover, under the rule of the nobles, the flow of people and goods in the countryside is very slow, and the influence of other areas is not great.

But the arrival of the Purple Horde changed all that: they not only stabilized the territory, but also allowed most of them to have the qualifications of "the land of all tents" that they boasted in their mouths, and they especially like to build roads everywhere.

The soldiers and civilians in the purple tent will start to operate roads that go deep into the inland when they have nothing to do.Cooperating with the route around the Black Sea, the traffic will be convenient soon.The lords who have been accustomed to enfeoffment for hundreds of years are very uncomfortable with this.

Now everyone is surrendering to Rome in name, and they cannot publicly ban caravans from other places, and the nobles themselves need to buy supplies from the outside world.In this case, there is no way at all.

What is even more desperate is not that some lucky nobles got the money, but that most of the nobles did not get the money.

If the nobles wanted to maintain a higher degree of independence so that the Khan Court would not overintroduce its order, they had to maintain the order themselves.But when a lord suddenly became rich but his military power did not increase, the local spontaneous order might not be so friendly.

Moreover, the improvement of the "taste" of these aristocrats has led to an increase in the overall requirements in the aristocratic circle.Comparisons are a part of their daily life. In order to maintain face, even if they don't have the other party's complete set, at least they have to buy similar ones at their own expense, otherwise they won't be able to communicate on an equal footing.

As for these extra expenses, of course, we can only work harder to get the people.

After being tortured by the Queen Mother for ten years, many nobles could no longer hold on.They think that although they don't understand how to get richer and poorer, it must be the evil and cunning Greeks playing tricks again.

As long as you get independent from the empire and stop playing with this bloody Anda, you can solve these problems.

Hearing that most of the Serbs are plotting, the local nobles are also interested.

However, rebellion is not a simple matter.

The big nobles whose territory can reach the size of the province have long been swallowed up by the Queen Mother Helena, and the Serbia region is the same.Today's main nobles are the leaders of a group of enfeoffed states and military palaces.

They also don't want the big nobles to come back - when the big nobles were split up, they were still the helpers and beneficiaries.

And here, there are no people with high military prestige or strong military ability-the Purple Horde doesn't care about issues such as beliefs and backgrounds, and doesn't even care about bloodlines.As long as you have military merits, you can improve extremely quickly there.Those who have this ability will go to most of them to become high-ranking officials and enjoy great wealth.Who cares about this rotten place.

Unless, they can expel a higher price than the Purple Horde: for example, inviting someone to become the real king, which is better than the treatment of the regiment leader, and theoretically it is possible to attract high-level talents.

However, the purpose of everyone's rebellion is to maintain the independence of the territory.Before the rebellion, they were ruled by the real power Khan; after the rebellion, they were also ruled by the real power king.Then this reverse, isn't it a waste of time?
As for the titular title of king...

Even the co-ruling emperor of the Purple Horde can spam, and the French want to donate one.It's really a competition of names, anyone can find a Greek scholar at random, and they can come up with an exaggerated name on the spot that would make the brother blush.Who cares about the empty title given by the country nobles.

As for why the countryside is emphasized, it is because the nobles cannot attract the support of the city.

Belgrade, the big local city, resolutely refused to participate in the rebellion.

The Purple Horde brought better pottery furnace craftsmanship and also gave them a large number of military orders.In addition, Khanting also said that in the future, professional officials in various cities can be promoted to each other, that is to say, city officials who have performed well in Belgrade can be directly transferred to Constantinople-then this is a fart of anti.

The citizens of the city looked down on these mud-legged nobles who blocked the road, robbed and disrupted trade every day, and now they don't want to talk to them.

The city council told the representatives of the nobles that the Romans repaired the road for free, and the citizens were grateful.Advise them to take care of themselves and not break the oath of allegiance.

At the same time, the mayor immediately sent his cronies to Dadu with a letter of report, preparing to earn impression points and lay the foundation for his promotion.It was also the nobles who had been prepared for this, knowing that this guy would definitely report, arranged manpower in advance, and intercepted the messenger, so that the rebellion did not fail directly.
