Chapter 800, Big Reward

The Bafeng Mountain Expedition harvested a total of one million dwarf gold coins, five thousand sets of dwarf precision-crafted vibrating gold rune plate armor (it can be used by humans with a little modification), twenty boxes of rare treasures, ancient books and a large number of precious cultural relics, It even includes human records from 2,500 years before the Imperial Calendar, more than a dozen tons of vibration gold, several tons of mithril, and several tons of meteoric iron!

For this wealth, everyone was salivating, and Ryan did not disappoint everyone. After a short welcome and banquet, Ryan immediately ordered all the dukes to gather in the conference hall of Boldero Castle and began to distribute the wealth.

The total conversion of one million dwarf gold coins into human gold coins is roughly 2.57 million gold kroner, which Ryan divided.

Four hundred and eighty-eight thousand, seven hundred and thirty-one five gold crowns are used to repay the Bafengshan national debt. The Bafengshan national debt has been sold for five installments, and the first installment has been repaid. For the next few installments, Ryan has to take out Part of the money is used to repay the national debt, and these are military expenses, which have been spent on the road.

A small part must also be allocated for post-war rewards and pensions. This time the expedition to Bafengshan suffered a lot, not counting the army of Bellega, plus the reinforcements after François, the Bafengshan expedition to Brittany A total of 50,000 people participated in the Great Expedition with the Knights of Niah and various mercenaries. Only about 20,000 people were able to return to Britannia alive. Benefits must be paid on time.

Then, the dukes will also share the money according to the ratio of troops sent. Ryan will pay them a total of about 520,000 war dividends. The highest share is for leading troops to participate in the war, followed by the Principality of Bastogne, which dispatched a whole team of Holy Grail Knights, and the Principality of Bordereau, who let his own son lead the army to participate, and the least profit ratio is Le-Ancourt In the Principality of Lang, since the Duke of Taubot did not approve of this great expedition, the troops sent will be relatively less, and he will be allocated the least.

Ryan said that about half of the money will be issued first, and the remaining part of the king will save it for you first, and deposit it in the Royal Bank of Britannia that will be established soon. Large deposits have interest.

The remaining 1.15 million gold crowns are directly controlled by Ryan. In theory, this money is the kingdom's money, but Ryan obviously has the right to control the money. He also intends to deposit the money to the royal family first. In the bank, discuss how to spend it.

Of course, the pension must be paid in full, but the king also suggested that appropriate deposits can be made. As for the reward, it should be deposited first. The king said that he can receive it at any time. For the collection, everyone got a lot of confiscations, and the last reward is not so important.

Regarding this point, everyone also agrees that investing so much money in the market at one go can easily cause hyperinflation, and proper inflation is conducive to stimulating consumption and improving people's living standards.

Hyperinflation can easily lead to a series of social problems.

About one-third of the 5,000 sets of dwarven offensive vibrating rune plate armor were allocated to Ryan, who promised to give them to the dwarf rune master Deron Feinson for transformation, and distribute them to the dukes according to the proportion of troops sent and the degree of eliteness. .

Twenty boxes of rare treasures, ancient books and a large number of precious cultural relics will not be your share. Ryan needs to put these things away and study them by himself.

At the meeting, everyone was beaming with smiles. The dukes had gained substantial profits in this war, while military expenses and pensions were borne by the kingdom. Therefore, every noble present showed a satisfied smile.

But there is no free lunch in the world. After Ryan shared the huge dividends brought by the Great Expedition, the king immediately issued a new reform order.

The king wants to reform the court system. The King of Knights will take over the local legal interpretation and judicial power. The Church of the Fairy in the Lake will cooperate with the Church of the Goddess of Justice, Valenna, to send circuit judges and establish a new principality court. The dukes are now Can only provide opinions as moderator and jury, and can no longer conduct trials by themselves.

At the same time, the king also requested the unification of tariffs and the establishment of a new currency tax system. The local dukes must unify tariffs and abolish various exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes imposed privately, and gradually establish a new currency tax system.

The king also demanded the revoking of noble privileges, and Lane ordered that if a family of knights for more than four generations has not provided knights for the kingdom and ladies or sent enough troops to participate in the battle to defend the country, unless there is a special reason, they will be confiscated. The title of nobility is reduced to a freeman, and they still have a chance to regain the title of knight in a generation. If they can't do it, they will always be a freeman.

Incompetence, occupying the country's resources for nothing and supporting a group of waste is a crime, and it is not worthy of being a nobleman.

The king's announcement caused the shock of the Britannian nobles in the entire conference room. It was obvious that Ryan was going to take power further, but now the king's prestige was in full swing, and every word he said was absolute authority. Dare to turn against him, even many dukes knew in their hearts, let alone turn against him, they didn't even have the ability to resist.

As long as they dare to oppose the king's decision, they don't have to wait for Ryan's suppression. Their own subordinates will be in chaos first. Ryan's reforms have benefited from nobles to serfs. The knight nobles and serf infantry regiments under their command They have already regarded Ryan as the object of the great man from heaven and the subject of all people, and now they are against trying?

Without Ryan speaking, they would be overthrown by his men first.

"I think this decision of His Majesty the King is very good! I think you all know that the laws of Brittany are often misinterpreted or deliberately tampered with in order to serve the interests of certain people. Madam’s expectations are just right, you must have faced many headaches and meaningless time-wasting trials, so why not just hand it over to the king and the lady, and the Church of the Fair Lady, how about it?” Rancois was the first to stand up to support his son-in-law, and the father-in-law had a clear stand: "I agree, the Duchy of Wenford will support the king's will."

"And I, the Duchy of Bastogne will support the king's will!" Immediately afterwards, Bohemond, Duke of the Red Dragon, also stood up immediately. Bohemond was already tired of these things, and he was really not good at them. Participating in a trial or adjudicating some disputes, upon hearing the news, the Duke was overjoyed, thinking that finally someone would help me deal with these troublesome matters, coupled with a series of good relations with Ryan, he immediately stood by Ryan's side .

"Agreed." Duke Boderick also responded quickly, but he said to Ryan: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion."

"Say." Ryan nodded slightly. The king's momentum was astonishing. With the prestige of this great expedition and victory, he had to take this opportunity to set the rules.

“I think it is important not only for the Lady Church and the Church of the Goddess of Justice to participate, but also for the participation of local churches, such as the Church of Justice in Montfort, the Church of Goddess of War in Carcassonne, the Church of Poseidon in Boldro, and the Church of Gisso The Church of the God of Nature in Leoux." Boderick made a suggestion: "As for other things, we are willing to obey His Majesty's will."

"Yes." Ryan thought for a while and thought it was feasible.

"I agree." The Regent of the Kingdom, Duke of Connecticut Lawn also agreed.

Afterwards, Adehad, the Duke of Lyonnaise, and Hagen, the Duke of Gisoleaux, also agreed, and the remaining dukes could only turn their eyes to Morgiana, the witch of the lake, but Morgiana was obviously not in her mind. On this matter, she naturally agreed.

Furthermore, the dividends brought by the Great Crusade are really delicious. On the market, a set of dwarf precision rune gold armor is worth about five thousand gold crowns. How much is five thousand sets worth? How many knights and nobles who can get one-third are actually getting?

They could not speak against it at all.

Finally, the king's resolution was passed.

In this way, Ryan declared that his own strong kingship had come, and in Britannia, in the Kingdom of Knights, no one had the ability to oppose him.

After a duke meeting, the king who returned from the expedition was actually a little tired, but he certainly couldn't run into the guest room to sleep soundly like his chief female courtier, Veronica. Down there is a series of things to do.

Suria made her son Devonhill happy and handed it over to Angron. Angron took his nephew and said that he would take him out to sea to fish, and let his nephew see how his uncle used a harpoon to stab a tuna Little Devonhill clapped his hands happily, saying that he wanted to see, and then he followed Angron on board Boldero's large fishing boat and went out to sea.

Both Ryan and Suria are happy to see this scene. Little Devonhill is closest to Angron. Both Ryan and Suria are happy to see the little guy get in touch with the outside world and see what the whole world is like. As for safety, Angron is here, so don't worry.

Immediately after rewarding the dukes, Ryan also rewarded the nobles under his command.

Although the German Baron Hux, who had been affirmed many times before, did not perform particularly well in this Great Crusade, he relied on steady tactics and never backed down in the Battle of Valaya's Gate. The performance of resisting the ogre army in the great battle still received enough recognition, and Ryan officially named him Earl of Devon, and added 15 new village fiefdoms.

The Baron Lopes who died in the battle was inherited by his eldest son Thierry. Ryan paid a lot of money for this and promised to erect a monument for Lopes' sacrifice.

The eldest son of Olivier, Baron Richard who died in battle, will be succeeded by his eldest son, Paul, who was born to Baroness Jennifer, and he will be treated the same as Lopes.

The title of Grand Baron Juan Gabiocari added a part of the fief, and Ryan also granted him the remaining land of Orphan Hill.

All the other nobles who participated in the war were given their own rewards, and Ryan added three new baron titles, conferring important towns on the edge of the Principality of Mousilon to his subordinates, while controlling the core territory by himself.

As for Lucien, the baron of the Spire Palace, who hopes to be transferred to the three guards of the evil land, Ryan has not yet made up his mind, and will hold a meeting to discuss it when he returns to the territory.

After completing a series of simple rewards, the king sat in the VIP suite of the Castle of Bordeaux for a short rest. As soon as he came back, he was dizzy with a series of things. He had been driving for five hours since he landed meeting.

"Ryan, are you tired?" Ryan's queen Suria sat next to Ryan and provided Ryan with a knee pillow. She smiled softly and helped her husband relieve fatigue with her fingers. The female knight is wearing a Britannia court today. Crystal milky white Xibei black line hook layered skirt, under the skirt is a pair of beautiful long legs wrapped in black velvet diamond luster pantyhose, the pantyhose is embroidered with golden iris pattern, black silk feet A pair of shallow suede stiletto high heels. Seeing her husband so tired, Su Liya felt distressed: "Why don't I push the next thing for you first? Take a good rest?"

"No, I'll just rest for a few minutes." Ryan was enjoying the female knight's knee pillow and massage service. Suria had already taken off the queen's crown. Even she didn't like to wear a heavy crown, like a waterfall. The bright golden long hair exudes a strong fragrance of irises, the female knight's exquisite and noble face and bright sea blue eyes looked at her husband, her pride, and jokingly said: "Is it really necessary?"

"Politics is the matrix of war, and war is the continuation of politics, my lady." Ryan nodded, the king narrowed his eyes slightly, and he said softly: "Madam, it's been more than a year, how are you? Is there nothing wrong with the collar?" ?”

"With Uncle Angron and Her Highness Mogiana here, what else can I do? Ma'am, she often comes to accompany me." Suria nodded slightly, her face flushed: "It's just that occasionally..."

"Miss me occasionally?" Ryan smiled.

"If I say I don't want you, it must be a lie." Su Liya signaled Ryan to turn over, and at the same time stretched out her hand to pull up the skirt a little bit embarrassedly, so that her husband could rest on her long black silk legs : "Actually, after only three months, I regret it. I should have gone with you."

"No, this is a war, dear, this war is really dangerous, how can I let you go with me, besides, there must be someone at home." Ryan shook his head quickly: "You are the greatest support for me , Surya."

"But... I always feel that I have been thrown away by you now." The female knight said a little unwillingly: "Don't forget, Ryan, before I was your wife and queen, I was a female knight."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, Suria, I'm back, you have so many opportunities to be a 'knight'." Ryan teased.

"You... You bastard!" Su Liya immediately understood what her husband meant, but she didn't refuse, but blushed: "Why, isn't it enough for you to bring Veronica and Olika together?"

"Uh... ma'am, if you say that, we can't talk anymore." Ryan was a little embarrassed when he heard the words. He turned over and sat up, hugged Suria, and said in a low voice: "When we go back to the territory, let's go to Jean's together." How about soaking in the hot springs in the Noble Sanatorium?"

"Then are you planning to bring someone else?" Surya said with a half-smile, "We? It sounds like it's not just you and me?"

"Hmm..." The king could only laugh at the end, Surya took care of it, and Morgiana was waiting for him.

State affairs are difficult.

After a brief rest for a few minutes, Ryan stood up again and was ready to deal with the next official duties. Suria did not embarrass him anymore. The female knight straightened her skirt and sat next to Ryan, indicating that she could continue.

The next one who came in was the regent of the kingdom, Ron Leo Cornwall, and the head of SI:7, the ice sanctuary witch Aurora and Teresa who had just arrived. Teresa obviously hadn't seen her for a long time. Ryan is here, her eyes lit up when she saw Ryan came back, Ryan also smiled and reached out to greet her, signaling to talk about business first.

"Your Majesty, Her Majesty Emmanuel, Duchess of the Empire has officially sent us a diplomatic note, and wants to come here for a long-term private visit." Lawn was holding a large stack of documents, and the regent of the Kingdom took out a copy and handed it to us. Ryan: "Given the series of cooperation and good relationship we have with Nuer, we have verbally agreed to this request."

"No problem, the Duke's Castle is very big, it doesn't matter if you live in more people." Ryan nodded, and he hadn't seen Emilia and her two children for a long time, so it happened to be reunited.

"Ryan, there's bad news from the Empire!" Aurora wore gold-rimmed glasses with a butterfly pattern. She didn't call Her Majesty but called Ryan's name, which made Suria look up at her. Seeing Aurora's urgent tone, she didn't say anything.

"What's the matter?" Ryan could hear that it was very important, and he immediately motioned for Aurora and Teresa to sit down.

"Civil turmoil broke out in the empire. His Majesty the Archbishop of the Justice Church, His Majesty Vicmar, and the Bishop of the White Wolf Church, Wismond, had a firefight outside the city of Brunswick! Nearly 2,000 people were killed or injured!" Aurora immediately took out According to a document, the sanctuary witch's expression was a little anxious: "Now, White Wolf Elector Boris leads the army led by Midden and Chen Bing Kronburg, and confronts the army led by Rick across the river!"

"If this goes on, a full-scale civil war in the empire is imminent!" Aurora is obviously also very anxious about this situation: "Ryan, what are you going to do?"

"what?!"
