Chapter 273

"He didn't hang it?"

Paul looked at Baden, whose foam fell down, asked.

After checking it carefully, the guard replied: "Adult, he hasn't died yet, he just fainted."

"Drag it out, don't stay here."

"yes!"

Paul narrowed his eyes and reflected the passage just now.

The punishment for Baden is a test to see what attitude of the representative figures of this landlord's gentry.

As a result, it was unexpectedly. The snake was fainted directly. In Paul's view, this shows that Baden knew that he could not fight against the punishment from the lord.

What was the situation a year ago, the pirate invaded, and the old leader was killed, and then the landlords of the ground were rampant and the traffic was obstructed.

If Paul's self -proclaimed at that time, he punished such a landlord, Baden would never scare this way, and even "bargain" with himself.

The pirates flattened in the northwestern bay, developed the strong financial resources of industry and commerce, dared to fight against the powerful Kette family, the battle of Bidorbul, northwest, and once again restored the authority of the Lord in Earl Alida.

This makes the landlords who have controlled rural power for generations have to be treated carefully when facing the order from the lord.

Land owners and taxistes like Baden are the de facto lords in their own site. In addition to contracting taxes, before the establishment of the farmers' association and military service station in Paul, all the lord's houses, military service, etc. The transaction must pass through their hands,

Baden's reaction gave Paul a further idea -comprehensively abolishing the taxpayer system under his rule. He already had this idea. At the end of the year last year, he wanted to abolish immediately, but was persuaded by the Ford.

Nympho

"You must do calmly, it's not appropriate to make such a decision now!"

When Paul was proposed again at the meeting, the Ford manager once again discouraged Paul.

"Why, Baden is also the landlord of Alida. The characters like this have succumbed to the right. Who else dares to disobey my decree?"

"That's because you are punished just Baden alone."

Ford's manager slowly analyzed the beard: "As the so -called trees are great, with Baden's family wealth, I do n’t know how many people are in secret. He is unlucky because of the criminals. Others will only clap their hands and say that The decree has abolished all the taxpayers. There is one less thing, otherwise it will give external enemies a chance. "

Paul dissatisfied: "Now the heavy soldiers of the lord's house are in control, do they dare to fight against? I think it can be shocked by only one battalion."

The chief of staff Schroe coughed, "Uh ... Lord Graman, in this matter ... forgive me, I think the current army is not very reliable ..."

"What does this mean, Schroord? You also see how good the army we trained."

Paul looked at the Chief of Staff straightforwardly. The Alda Army was his greatest pride. Except for the small setbacks of the pirates at the beginning of the establishment, he never disappointed him. Schroord's sentence was simply simply. Just pouring him a pot of cold water.

"Adult, I don't mean it is a combat effectiveness."

Chief of Staff said carefully: "Lord Graman, according to your requirements, when the Alida military officers were selected and promoted, he mastered the knowledge of an extremely important reference factor, and in our army ... those real civilian families The children almost did not even write their names before joining the army. They started to receive basic reading and writing education after joining the army. The children’s children are always more advantageous than the children of the poor. "

"So?" Paul had understood Schroder's meaning, and reality poured him a pot of cold water.

Schroord looked at him: "The bigger the family, the stronger the family concept. I think it is difficult for those grass -roots officers to guarantee your loyalty, the worst case in the abolition of taxpayers. I will do something irrational under the bewilding of the family. "

"In addition, I also want to remind you that the scrapped slave plan you have proposed before is also in this list.

Paul was a bit frustrated. Schroder was right. He also remembered a sentence in the previous life, "winning the same desire to win." Even if those officers would not directly resist him because of the rows of vow, would they still have the same life for him when facing the enemy. Can such a army still fight?

"Is there no other way?" Paul was very depressed. Since the successor, he feels that there are all kinds of constraints in everything. We must consider this and that. In fact, it seems that he hasn't done anything that can really be called social change since he passed through, which is really a prestige that damages the cross.

"Please wait at least until the officer of a civilian origin reaches a certain proportion, your reform plan, this ratio ... I suggest not less than three -fifths. But this takes time, considering that it is necessary to maintain the army's army. Fighting power, now we have to rely on the officers from the wealthy family, and the regular education of the Gelaiman Military Academy has just begun.

No mistakes, just read the content of the book in 6-9!

"I hope you will gradually increase the proportion of civilian children in the students in the future."

"Yes, sir, I will pay attention to this in the future. But I also want to say that it is not appropriate to let children from poor families take up all the positions. As a lord, you must maintain a good balance."

"I know this."

Then Paul asked the two about the next course of action. According to the established plan, the army will divert the attention of the Kent family, and then the navy's warships will go up the Weiss River to open up the "second battlefield". Now a riot has disrupted the plan.

Both Ford and Chief of Staff Schroeder suggested that the current focus should be on internal stability. No one can say whether there will be a second riot.

The final decision was that the two battalions commanded by Bryce would continue to be stationed in the newly occupied areas, and the troops still left in Alda and Bayerdin - including the navy and the army, would be stationed in various places, and immediately suppressed if there was any disturbance.

An efficient communication system must be established. The current system of relying on fast horses and birds to transmit urgent messages is neither timely nor reliable, which is not conducive to his control over the two earldoms.

Paul remembered the "Flag Signal Station" plan that he had shelved for a long time.
