Starting Life as a Baron - Chapter 456

[Chapter 454 Sapphire Chamber of Commerce]

“what?”

Sure enough, not only Rogner, but others couldn’t believe it.

That’s an empire!

The most powerful country on the entire continent actually wants to help them the Duchy of Allen.

But when they thought of what Allen said, it was exchanged with potions, and they understood a little bit.

After all, the final gift is the potionist’s proud work.

They even feel a little distressed and shouldn’t take it out.

But one is the king and the other is the majesty of the Radiance Empire, neither of them can offend them. “Now you have to work hard to spread the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce to the entire Radiance Empire, you know?”

Allen is very concerned about this. After all, if he has a huge chamber of commerce, other things will be much more convenient.

“Yes, Archduke.” Rogner nodded.

Allen thought about “nine seventy” carefully, and there was nothing else. “Baskulih, I decided to expand the army.”

This Baskulih had no objection and nodded. “It should be true. The number of troops in the Kingdom of Ellen is too small, but it is only a few hundred thousand.” “The troops of other grand dukes are more than that. Now the Radiance Empire has migrated 80 million residents to the Kingdom of Ellen, and the number has recovered. A lot.” “Your Majesty, I suggest expanding directly to 10 million!” Baskulih looked at Alan.

“Cough cough cough!” Allen almost choked to death.

Ten million!

Afraid not to eat themselves poor!

“Baskulih, do you count how much gold they need to spend in total?”

“This, it shouldn’t exceed 10 million a month, plus the money sent to them, it will not exceed 20 million at most.” The kingdom’s annual tax revenue is about 10 billion, but although it is a lot, it spends There is also a lot of money.

And Allen has always agreed with the policy of elite soldiers, otherwise the number of troops will be useless.

According to Baskulih’s algorithm, it is still possible to raise 10 million troops with 20 million a month, but to follow Allen’s ideas, I am afraid that the treasury will not be spent. “It doesn’t have to be that many, it’s enough to recruit three million first, and the rest will serve as reserve troops.” “Your Majesty, what is the reserve army?” Baskulih looked confused.

Allen knew that there was no reservist in this continent, so he didn’t blame them and explained in detail.

“The reserve army is not a soldier now, and there is no salary.”

“As the army’s backup, they usually don’t need to train every day, but every seven days. Whether it’s a reserve army or other soldiers, they only need to pay four levels of taxes.”

Baskulih pinched his beard and thought carefully.

He soon discovered the genius of this.

“Yes, Your Majesty, this can relieve our pressure, and we can also replenish in time in case of war. It’s too…”

Baskulih didn’t know what to say, after all, the idea was too good, he couldn’t believe it. The Archduke looks so young and so smart.

Seeing the calm expressions on other people’s faces, Baskulih couldn’t help but think of what he said before.

Could it be that the King is really the son of the God of War? He didn’t believe it before, but when he thought about the reserve army, he also had some doubts.

Alan didn’t think much of it when he saw Baskulih’s strange look.

“By the way. The school I ran before also needs to be further expanded.”

“But Your Majesty, we don’t seem to have enough money at the moment.” Baskulih grimaced.

“Building a school also requires magicians, potions, and extraordinary knights. These are not a small expense.”

“And those buildings, the students’ room and board.”

“The main thing is that most of those students can’t pay tuition fees, which means we have almost no income.”

Alan also had no choice, he rubbed his forehead.

“If it really doesn’t work, we will start with the capital and continue to develop to other regions.”

“Also, we can vigorously develop primary schools first.”

“primary school?”

Baskulih said softly.

“Yes, it is to teach some basic knowledge. The strength of the teacher does not need to be too strong. If you find a guy with abnormal talent, you can recommend it to a more advanced school.”

“In this case, the cost should be greatly reduced.”

“Well, this is a way.” Baskulih thought for a while and agreed.

There is nothing to do next, and Alan said a few words to prepare for them to leave.

At this time, Bacchus, Minister of Agriculture, came out and said to Alan: “My lord, may I ask if there are other ways to get other earthworms. Now the land of Alan Kingdom needs to be improved…”

It was only then that Allen realized that there is no soil to improve the soil quality in the current land. I’m afraid Buster is not used to it.

But fortunately, I still have a lot of merit points left, and I’ll just continue to change some at that time.

“Well, don’t worry about this, I will provide you with another batch.”

Only then did Buster let out a sigh of relief. He was suffocated to death by this incident, and he never dared to say anything.

“That’s right.” Allen suddenly thought of one thing. It seemed that there was one more task he had not completed. “Buster, you said before that it can be cooked five times a year, and now a year is almost over. Have you finished it yet?”

A flash of panic flashed in Bast’s eyes in an instant, “Your Majesty, it has been cooked four times before, and now the fifth one should be still growing, and it is about to mature, and there should be news at that time. If the king is in a hurry , I’ll go back and have a look now.”

“Forget it.” Allen wasn’t in such a hurry either. His system would definitely know about it by then, so he didn’t need to worry.

But despite this, Buster still made up his mind and immediately sent someone back to take a look, and he had to pay more attention to the news of the Principality of Marco.

When Allen waited for them to go back, he saw that there were no outsiders around, and he went to the dragon’s nest.

The current Dragon Nest is not 1.7 because it is deserted because of the lack of a lot of small dragons, but it is more lively.

As for the reason, it was naturally because Allen exchanged ten dragons.

That’s right, ten dragons!

It cost him a lot of money, but it was worth it.

Taking into account the characteristics of the gem dragon, Allen only changed five gem dragons.

Now they are still cubs, only a few meters in size, chasing and fighting on the ground.

And Luka and the others naturally disdain to play with them, they all fly in the sky, and when they are tired, they lie on the top of the mountain.

And those cubs looked very envious, and made a squeak in their mouths.

Seeing Alan, they naturally felt intimacy and rushed over quickly.

Allen is naturally very happy, these are the high-end combat power of the Allen Kingdom. .
