The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 552

Two months passed like this.

With the completion of Zhang Qiang's army and population reform, Zhang Qiang has completely controlled the army. His army is no longer an army under the control of the lord, no longer an army that can be commanded by prestige and status, but an army appointed by Zhang Qiang For example, the No. 1 choice is a heroic knight, the second choice is a civilian knight from a soldier background, and the third choice is a noble soldier general.

Zhang Qiang believes that there are more soldiers than good soldiers, so out of a population of more than 300 million, he chose 3 people as his territorial army, that is, the field army, as his main combat force.

Just when Zhang Qiang was concentrating on developing his own strength, the Kingdom of Swadia launched a new round of marshal elections, and Zhang Qiang's name was impressively on the list of candidates.

The marshal campaign forced Zhang Qiang to stop what he was doing and concentrate on campaigning.

How to do this campaign?

It was a very tiring job. The first thing was to hold a territorial banquet, notify all the lords related to him to attend, enhance their relationship, and then hope that they would support his election as marshal, and promise them how much spoils to give.

The second is to travel long distances to find the earls and lords who have the right to vote, and lobby them to vote for themselves. Of course, there is no lack of exchange of interests.

Zhang Qiang and Delina counted their property in their room.

As the chief minister appointed by Zhang Qiang, his status is of course above the consul, it can be said that he is under one person except Zhang Qiang, and above ten thousand people.

"Honey, according to my statistics, you still have about 4000 million dinar gold coins, 2000 million black iron spar coins, and other supplies of about 8000 million. Food and living materials are sufficient. This is our territory current financial situation."

Delina said to Zhang Qiang very happily.

Zhang Qiang frowned. He used the misunderstanding of the game world by the media in the real world to earn 20 billion dinar gold coins, which have been squandered. In the future, will he have to rely on taxes and customs duties like other lords? , And the constant perhaps territories to maintain their own military expenditures?
For the first time, there was a financial crisis in his territory.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is not a financial crisis, but a sign of prosperity, but for Zhang Qiang, a real-world traveler who once owned 20 billion dinars of gold coins and hundreds of millions of supplies, only 4000 million gold coins, tens of millions of dollars. The materials made him feel very uncomfortable, and he felt that the crisis was approaching step by step.

De Ruina said again: "I heard that you let Francois and Sebastian study things, but I see that they have consumed a lot of wealth and materials but have never brought any benefits to the territory. Of course, if you say The knight ring can increase your knights a lot, the simmon knife car can increase the defense strength of our territory, and even the "swarm" weapon you mentioned can let you severely injure the enemy in the field, I am very pleased.

But their expenditure is too high, and the income and expenditure are out of proportion, so I suggest that you reduce the expenditure on research and development, and instead support business and territory construction, which can increase our output.

For example, building a few more factories, I found that weapon manufacturing and iron ingot manufacturing can give us great benefits. "

Zhang Qiang nodded. It is true that most of these things and materials were produced by knight rings, and most of the knight rings were given to Zhou Zhouzhou for nothing, asking him to support the countries in the real world, but he did not receive a dinar gold coin. Indeed You should talk to Zhou Zhou Zhou.

I am not the kind of unpatriotic person, nor is it the kind of brazen person, but if I let myself use my own interests to subsidize the country, I feel like my head was kicked by a donkey.

Although the arrival of these people can increase the population and tax revenue of the territory, but in any world, anywhere, there is no such thing as saying that a transaction is free and free of money, even if the Soviet Union supported our party at the beginning, it was because they needed our party to become theirs. Dominating the world and executing part of the grand strategy of punishing the world, and this is not free, it needs to be bought with money. This is two different ways from the capital world importing surplus products to our country to make profits, but the result is the same. It's all a way to exploit our country and strengthen ourselves, so all paths lead to the same goal, Zhang Qiang doesn't want to be exploited by the country anymore.

"In addition, my dear husband, have you noticed that except for a few good lords, you hardly have much contact with you. I am very worried about your interpersonal relationship. It is difficult for us to have such an interpersonal relationship. In order to gain more benefits in the kingdom, I learned about the recent news that businessmen in our territory brought back from other territories. Many territories’ taxes on our territory are already greater than those of any kingdom. It is difficult for them to obtain from other territories. How can the lord get a more favorable tax policy?" De Ruina looked worried.

Zhang Qiang held his forehead, frowning tightly.

It seems that due to the expansion of their own strength, the King Harlaus team's own worries are becoming more and more serious.

Even the most influential Harlengoth family in the kingdom, the example of an earl owning three castles and one city can be traced back a hundred years ago, but now there are viscounts who own five to seven villages, owning one castle , There are quite a few earls in four or five village territories, but with three castles, one city, and five village territories, no lord has ever been so powerful.

What's more, this is the strength of King Harlaus after depriving him of the territory of Fort Arhun and the ownership of the three castles he built. Now Zhang Qiang already owns seven castles, one city, and ten villages.

This kind of strength can only be possessed by Rod Laboye, the lord of Vikia who has been promoted to Marquis, but the castles and cities he owns are all sparsely populated, cold, and sparsely populated. The two cities of Kudan are still impressively powerful territories, and the others can only be stationed with soldiers, and there is not much commercial profit.

Therefore, Rod Laboye, his father-in-law can safely own those territories. The key is that he chose a good time. The Kingdom of Vikia was battered by the Nord Kingdom. Where the Sultanate of Rand was raging, King Jaloger couldn't take care of it at all, and he didn't want to lose anything, so he agreed to promote him to Marquis and manage that place for him.

Marquis, no matter how powerful you are, you are still the lord of the Kingdom of Vikia, but the title is higher, and you are still someone else's subject, so King Jaloger can tolerate him.

That was before, now?

Now the relationship between King Jaloger and Rod Laboye is not very good. Like King Harlaus, he wants to grant some territories of the Marquis to his subjects in order to weaken Rod Laboye's strength. , but there is no excuse and time to do so.

And Zhang Qiang has been weakened by King Harlaus, but it is not thorough enough.

The main reason was that it was too far away from the hinterland of the Kingdom of Swadia, and King Halaus was powerless. The transfer of seven earls this time may not have been to restrain Zhang Qiang and prepare for the next weakening of Zhang Qiang.

But under such circumstances, Zhang Qiang was actually promoted as the candidate for the Marshal of the Kingdom, and Zhang Qiang, who had never been a Marshal, really wanted to be a Marshal once, because that was the qualifications. The more senior the qualifications, the more Kara The deeper the NPC people in the Dia continent have a deeper impression of themselves, the more they like them, which means that the greater their ruling power, the higher the chance of successfully becoming a king in the future.
