The King Chapter 450

  Trial implementation means that real money is needed to support it.

  The Alpha Kingdom is not the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the internal centripetal force is much stronger. Especially when facing orcs, unity is usually +120.

  Everyone present has dual identities, they are both the managers of the kingdom and the shareholders of the kingdom.

  As a leader, he must take the lead in buying at this time. If the upper level has no confidence in winning the war, the lower levels will have even less confidence.

   "As the marshal of the kingdom, I also proposed this plan, so I will lead everyone by subscribing for six million acres of land bonds.

  In addition, the 2.3 million kingdom bonds held in the hands, as well as some debts owed by the government, were all converted into land bonds to reduce the financial pressure on the kingdom and save our finance minister from complaining about high interest rates. "

   Hudson said with a smile.

   When it comes time to lose money, you can't be petty. Just back from the front, everybody knows he's rich, Lord Hudson.

   What's more, selling medicines made a lot of money in the past. The nobles of the kingdom are not rich, and they also have the credit of Hastelloy Pharmaceuticals.

  No one knows the specific profit of selling medicine, but everyone can make a preliminary judgment from the war wealth generated by the Warhammer Kingdom.

  The people below have all made a fortune, and it is even more impossible for them to be poor as a coach. Cash + all kinds of physical objects, discounted to three to four million gold coins must be indispensable.

  Considering the profiteering properties of magic potions, no one would believe him if he said that he hadn't earned millions of gold coins.

   Rather than being missed by others, it is better to take it out. Anyway, the kingdom is really out of money now, and if the kingdom doesn't want to go bankrupt at this time, major shareholders must inject capital.

   Hudson had no choice but to throw out all the high-yield bonds in his hand. Since the outbreak of the Continental War, the Ministry of Finance has announced that the payment of bond interest will be postponed until after the war.

   To pay after the war, the kingdom's finances must be able to last until after the war. No matter how high the interest income is, it cannot withstand financial bankruptcy.

  Instead of waiting for the kingdom's finances to go bankrupt, it is better to take the initiative to exchange for land bonds, and by the way gain a good reputation for taking care of the overall situation.

   As for the slightly higher land price, that is completely a false proposition.

  The land bonds held by the great nobles will only be cashed out in the future. Only the area of ​​arable land will be calculated, and other messy land will most likely become gifts.

  If the bond is in the hands of small and medium-sized nobles, there will not be so many gifts, but when calculating the area badly, there will probably be a discount.

  If the bond falls into the hands of the merchant, then there is nothing to say, no matter whether it is a good land or a bad land, it will be honored truthfully.

  Crossing classes also requires paying a price. How can it be possible to obtain a fiefdom without paying a premium?

   There is no need to speak out about the unspoken rules in advance. Those who understand understand it, and those who don't don't need to understand it.

   "Since Marshal Hudson has set an example, we cannot fall behind.

  The royal family subscribed for 7 million gold coins of land bonds, and the more than 8 million debts owed by the Ministry of Finance to the royal family were all converted into land bonds. "

   Caesar IV pretended to be happy and said.

   Obviously, his heart was bleeding when making this decision. But there is no way, the marshal Hudson has paid so much, how can he be stingy as a king.

   Buying land bonds does not seem to be a loss, but the problem is that the current royal family does not lack land! There are three provinces in the north that have not been developed, so there is no need to rush to the prairie to grab a map.

  Land is an asset only if it is developed, and land that cannot be developed is nothing.

  Fortunately, the Ministry of Finance owes a huge amount of debt to the royal family. He can take these debts that are likely to be unfinished and exchange them for land bonds, making the numbers look even more dazzling.

   The pain is the pain, but it doesn't mean to blame Hudson. The issuance of land bonds is undoubtedly the best weapon for the kingdom to get rid of the debt crisis in a short period of time.

   Both the king and the marshal took the lead in exchanging debts for land bonds. Are the nobles still ashamed to pursue debts from the Ministry of Finance?

  Simple exchange, the creditor's rights relationship has changed. Most of the huge debts placed on the Ministry of Finance were directly wiped out.

   The financial pressure has been greatly reduced in a short period of time, and Marquis Delgado can also take a breather. Otherwise, the chancellor of the exchequer will be put down, and no suitable replacement will be found in a short time.

   What's more, it is not necessary to pay directly for the subscription of land bonds. Equivalent strategic materials can also be discounted.

  During financial difficulties, the kingdom purchases supplies from the royal family and great nobles, which was originally an IOU.

  In the past, the debt increased to a certain level, exceeding the financial repayment limit, and the creditors took the initiative to reduce the debt.

  Usually the Terran Alliance issues a call, and international creditors announce partial debt relief, domestic creditors will naturally respond to the call.

  But that is on the premise that the alien race is strong and all parties need the Alpha Kingdom to block the Orc Empire. Now that the advantages of the human race are becoming more and more obvious, it is useless to expect such a good thing.

  Compared to the last orc invasion, it is now more difficult for the Kingdom government to borrow money from the outside world.

  Not only has the loan changed from an interest-free loan to an interest-bearing loan, but also added a bunch of additional conditions, many of which exceeded the bottom line acceptable to the kingdom.

  If the outside world can't count on it, then it can only tap the internal potential. To put it simply, those who have money will pay, and those who have no money will die.

  The two big bosses took the lead, and the officials responded one after another, but the subscription amount was much smaller, and the sum of all of them could not keep up with the amount of the two.

  Hudson didn't panic about this at all. The richest people in the Alpha Kingdom were the great nobles from all over the place. Except for a few emerging big aristocrats who are not rich, the rest are extremely rich.

  Especially those ancient big families, the wealth accumulated over thousands of years is an astonishing figure.

   Just look at the prices.

  Under the premise that there is no major change in productivity, the currency circulation is increasing every year, and prices on the mainland have been stable for hundreds of years.

   There is no doubt that these additional currencies eventually flowed into the cellars of the great nobles.

  Compared to the nobles in the southern continent, the wealth accumulation of the noble group of the Alpha Kingdom is not that rich.

  Because of frequent wars, most of the kingdom's wealth has flowed out. After the war is over, there will even be economic deflation.

   Of course, under the self-sufficient system of the feudal monarch, deflation did not have much impact on the economy.

   There is a money panic, and the big deal is to barter directly. There weren't many commodity transactions in the first place, so Ren Ren passed away.

  Anyway, no matter how bad the economic environment is, the nobles will not let the serfs lose their jobs. If the grain cannot be sold, more warehouses are built to pile it up. The next time a war breaks out, the storage can consume the excess food production capacity.

  As soon as the land bonds were sold, Hudson felt at ease. The higher the cost of input and payment, the more people will be tied to the chariot to death, and the less worried they will be.

After    and other great nobles from all over the country donated their money generously, all interest groups in the kingdom are locked in this war, and internal conflicts will be suppressed to the maximum extent.

  Northern border, orc army camp. The five emperors came to the front line to celebrate this hard-won victory together.

  In the past few years, the Orc Empire has had a bad time. They painstakingly prepared to launch a war, but the allies did not follow up in time, and they were severely beaten by the human race.

  After paying a terrible price, they were about to recuperate when the Continental War suddenly broke out.

   Being involved in the war again, everyone actually has no bottom in their hearts. Due to the situation, I can only bite the bullet.

   Fortunately, the Seven Kingdoms of the Prairie are easy to bully, and they took care of them without wasting much effort.

  The difference between a small country and a big country is still very obvious. Being able to easily clean up the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland does not mean that they can also easily defeat the Alpha Kingdom.

  As an old enemy who has been fighting for hundreds of years, everyone is well aware of the difficulty of the Alpha Kingdom. No one imagines that this enemy can be destroyed. Our goal is to regain the lost ground.

   Never expected that after a surprise attack by Duke Daniel, the enemy would take the initiative to carry out a strategic contraction and return a large area of ​​land to them.

   "My lords, now is not the time to be happy. If the enemy stays and fights to the death with us, there is still a chance to annihilate them.

  But they suddenly carried out a strategic contraction, and all the combat plans they had deployed were now useless.

   If nothing else happens, the enemy will change coaches soon. We want to destroy the Alpha Kingdom in a short time, I'm afraid..."

   Before Duke Daniel finished speaking, the Lion King interrupted: "Marshal Daniel, the current situation is very good.

  If five years ago, we would have supported you in destroying the Alpha Kingdom without hesitation, but not now.

  With the current strength of the empire, even if it can destroy the Alpha Kingdom, it cannot stop the human counterattack.

  The international situation has deteriorated too fast, the half-orc kingdom has fallen, and only sporadic armed forces are left to resist; the ancient survivors who can help us have been defeated by the Alphas.

  The other races in the alliance are also having a hard time. They are all waiting for the reinforcements of the elves, but those pedantic elves are pitifully inefficient.

   Judging from the current situation, it is a great victory to ensure that the races in the alliance will no longer be destroyed by the human race.

   One wrong step, one wrong step.

   All ethnic groups looked forward and backward, did not start with us a few years ago, missed the best time to make a move, and were doomed to the current tragedy.

  The empire is powerless to reverse the general trend. What we have to do is to keep our current interests and prevent the race from growing bigger! "

  The words of "counseling" make it hard to believe that it came from the mouth of the Lion King. You must know that a few years ago, he was still the most staunch main fighter.

   There is no way, this is the power of the mainland overlord Iron Fist. Only after being beaten once in person can he know the weight of the overlord of the mainland.

   Before survival, hatred is secondary.

  Ambition needs the support of strength after all. The last war extinguished the ambition of the five emperors to compete for the hegemony of the mainland. Now they just want to recover.

   Glancing at the emperors, Daniel secretly sighed. If he had been in charge of the last battle, even if he couldn't win against the human race, he definitely wouldn't have lost so badly.

   "Your Majesty the Lion King, the situation on the mainland is indeed not good for us, but it is not much better for the Alpha Kingdom.

   Without the pressure of the alliance, it would be difficult for the human race to unite. In the follow-up battle, even if they can get some support, the strength will not be too great.

  As long as the Alpha Kingdom is severely damaged, we will be able to win thirty years of recuperation time.

  For the stability of the empire in the next 30 years, we must continue to maintain the offensive in the next battle. "

  Since the ambitions of the few emperors are gone, the cake must be smaller, so that they feel that they can achieve it with just a little effort.

  The main reason is that there are too many races in the Orc Empire, even as the head coach, they are restrained by all parties.

   They say they want to be united, but the five royal families have been fighting for so many years, how can one sentence be able to eliminate the gap.

   No one dares to give up easily the military power that involves the survival of the race. Daniel is the commander-in-chief of the army, but he must be responsible to the five emperors at the same time.

  The previous self-assertion caused a lot of slander. For the sake of victory on the battlefield, no one raised this question, but the seeds of doubt were still planted.

  Reconciling internal disputes is also one of the responsibilities of the coach. Doing this is often more difficult than winning battles.

  Back to the Mountain Territory, and had a good night's sleep. Hudson, who had just relaxed, was attracted by the data in his hand.

  The North Continent is in constant war. It stands to reason that the number of refugees should continue to increase. However, the number of immigrants introduced these days has not increased but decreased.

   "What do the officials of the Immigration Agency do for food? Why did the number of immigrants suddenly drop?"

   Hudson asked angrily.

  Since he is in a high position, he has long been used to showing his emotions and anger. The last time I lost my temper like this was two years ago.

   It's just that the matter this time is too big, no matter how well-mannered it is, it can't cover up the anger in my heart.

  The number of refugees accepted will be directly related to the future development of the mountain territory. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if there was no one who tried his best to expand the territory.

  The opportunity to increase the population on a large scale is rare in decades. If this opportunity is missed, the natural growth of the population will follow, and no matter how much you encourage births, you will not be able to keep up with the demand!

   "Count, we have introduced a large number of immigrants, which has aroused widespread attention from the outside world. Although no one has stumbled, there are still many nobles who follow suit.

   Of course, this is only a secondary reason for the decline in immigration. With the cooperation of the Principality of Moxi, we have an absolute advantage in introducing immigrants.

   That's just the case, changed late last month. The slowdown in the number of refugees in the Principality of Mosi, coupled with the recovery of the Warhammer Great Plains, has attracted a large number of Warhammers to return.

  Affected by these adverse factors, our plan to introduce refugees has also suffered setbacks. The Immigration Agency has already communicated with the Principality of Moxi, and I believe it will be soon..."

  Speaking of the last, Jacob suddenly lacked confidence. The number of refugees is not as large as expected, and the plan to introduce refugees will inevitably be affected.

   Even if the government of the Principality of Moxi is willing to cooperate, but now that the war is over, a large amount of abandoned land in their country still needs labor to reclaim it.

   In the final analysis, the number of refugees is still insufficient.

   If you want to get to the bottom of it, either the refugees are unwilling to stay in the Northern Continent, or the elf army is advancing too fast, and everyone has no chance to escape.

   Hudson doesn't think it's the latter.

  The Alien Alliance is still waiting for the elf army to support them. The elves are in a hurry, so they have no time to pay attention to the fleeing refugees.

  No one deliberately hinders, and the influx of refugees into neighboring countries is inevitable. Either go all the way south and enter the central continent, or flee to the relatively stable Principality of Moxi.

   "Tom, send someone to notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ask them to send over the latest information on the war situation in the Northern Continent, and attach some important international events worthy of attention."

   Hudson immediately ordered.

  As the marshal of the kingdom, the biggest advantage is that you can use the kingdom's intelligence network. As long as they are interested, they can ask them to check.

  The only regret is that the kingdom's intelligence network is very simple, and it is all collected by foreign agencies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It can only receive some ordinary intelligence, and its penetration into the governments of various countries is not deep.

   "Yes, Earl!"

   While speaking, Tom turned around and went out to implement, leaving Jacob standing there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

   "Okay, let's leave it at that for the issue of the reduction of immigrants! The focus of the work of the Ministry of Government Affairs is still to resettle immigrants.

  In the past six months, the territory has received a large number of immigrants, which is also a great challenge to the government system.

   Anyway, get them settled first, and let everyone have a job. "

   Hudson said calmly.

  In just half a year, the population of the territory doubled directly. There are still a large number of refugees pouring in on the road, which is also a test for local governance.

   In this regard, Hudson can't ask for much. As long as the people are settled down and there is no trouble, the remaining problems can be solved slowly later.

   If there are no jobs, they go to open up wasteland, build roads, and repair water conservancy projects. Most of the swamp has been developed, but the remaining area is enough for everyone to be busy for a while.

   After finishing the work, adjust the industrial structure. It is estimated that before that day, the mainland war will end first.

   If you win the war, there will naturally be new territories for everyone to develop. If unfortunately lost, a large number of casualties will also free up living space.

  Compared to the external expansion of victory, defeat is the peak period of internal mergers. A large number of unlucky nobles have become extinct, and it is another feast.

  Anyway, it is to supplement the loss, eating from the outside is the same as eating from the inside. The only difference lies in the large mergers, and there is no room for relaxation of internal conflicts.

  The decline of a country often begins with the intensification of internal conflicts. The harder you squeeze the inside, the faster it will collapse.
