Chapter 220 collects taxes
On August 32, the dawn flying fish number arrived in Silowas Islands. Altogether has spent for 17 days to the Silowas Islands range from the buffalo and cow horns bay, this is because first time runs this sea route, did not know about the sea sentiment, reason that for safety's sake the night shorten loses headway every day. Old Jake said that if other sailors ran ripe this road, from the buffalo and cow horns bay to Silowas Islands, at the dawn flying fish number speed, most only uses the flowered ten days.
Silowas Islands, is coast of Andinak Kingdom an only large-scale island, to the kingdom seacoast approximately 300 li (0.5km), the sea boat back and forth one requires day of time. If calculates by the island area that Silowas Islands may divide Count to get three Viscount collars, what what a pity is, Silowas Islands is a being unable to start mountain island, in the island two-thirds area are the volcano mountain range and forest, the sand beach, the wainable land are not many.
The material that accepts conferring rank and title of Second Highness transmits when according to Lorist, the Silowas Islands aborigine less than 5000, altogether has the small cities of three village and white-feathered bird town. Because is far away from the kingdom sea communication to be inconvenient, past Krissen Empire and present Andinak Kingdom Aristocrat(s) regard as the remote places Silowas Islands, even also had Aristocrat(s) to refuse to accept to be conferred the Silowas Islands Territory event.
After the Empire civil war ended, established the Andinak Kingdom three princes to be worried very much military exploit outstanding Second Highness will threaten to be good at administration the king of under main hall * the position of Chu, he did not want Andinak Kingdom to experience a time three Wang Zhengwei such Empire civil strife again, he has misplaced at the same time the entire situation, thinks that goes will not have the big war, splits major kingdom Dukedom that from Empire at peace in very long time, everybody needs the time to rest and build up strength, **** the wound of war.
Based on such judgment, three princes chose have handled matters the steady big prince to replace his throne in the future, has eliminated under the king * position of threatening Second Highness Chu the military authority to main hall, and to be incapable of maintaining the reasons of three big Legion to dismiss has supported Second Highness White Lion Legion, neutral strong winds Legion will dispatch plum Seine Dukedom assistance plum Seine Grand Duke(s) to resist the attack of Iberia Kingdom army Second Prince led.
Finally three princes confer entire Silowas Islands for the crown prince lead, as Second Highness hereditary Territory, making Second Highness go to Silowas Islands, has not obtained his summon not to leave, this was almost equal to exiling. It looks like in three princes, how has him to instruct under the main hall to handle the kingdom business personally, did not have the threat of Second Highness, his eldest son should in the future very smooth inheritance throne, guarantee the political situation stability of Andinak Kingdom.
But what three princes have not thought that he will encounter assassin plotting and sneak attacks of wave after wave the big prince and Second Prince send unexpectedly, virtually impossible to guard against under poison-tipped arrow, rescued with great difficulty came back actually to paralyze on the sickbed. But his so-called handles matters under the steady main hall the disposition extremely weak, was completely understood actual situation Andinak Kingdom Aristocrat(s) jointly rode the head, the unscrupulous suppression Andinak Royal Family, carved up royal family directly under Territory, the situation in kingdom becomes worse and worse, unstable.
But did not have Second Highness of military authority only to stay worries on Silowas Islands, was helpless facing the difficult position in situation and royal family in kingdom. In this time, Second Highness is obtaining the news, huge quantity of caravan enters in the kingdom, this caravan also has one formidable escorts the caravan armed forces strength. At present this caravan already confronted in azure wild original and Aristocrat(s) allied armies of kingdom.
Second Prince goes by boat to leave Silowas Islands at the same night, hopes that can rush to the battlefield is both sides that caravan and Aristocrat(s) this confronts carries on a mediation, and seeks an advantage for oneself. But what he has not thought that when he on the road, has still spread the news of azure wild original battle, the population differs 50% caravan armed forces completely routed that the Aristocrat(s) allied armies hit, but also along the way process participates in the Aristocrat(s) allied armies intention to take by force caravan Lord(s) to hang to death completely, Territory was razed......
The most important news is, the flag that this caravan holds is the Norton Family angry bear flag, it is said is Northern Land gets angry Xiong Jia zu caravan, cares for northbound to return to family Territory. But side Second Highness female Knight(s), his sweetheart named Norton. Chris Nha, from Norton Family. Therefore the Second Prince night enters the caravan big camp, uses standard equipment that the family kinship of oneself sweetheart and dismissed White Lion Legion leaves behind, succeeds convinced Charade and Potterfang that and the others leads north caravan to return, achieved has helped his superior the agreement, and has cleaned entire Andinak Kingdom Aristocrat(s) using formidable caravan armed forces, stood up from failure at one fell swoop.
After having the Andinak Kingdom ruling power, Second Highness recalled strong winds Legion, has reorganized imperial guard Legion, used the peaceful Narker huge quantity of refugee pits northbound caravan, flung refugee package to northbound caravan, oneself actually prepared for war, the stable kingdom situation, resumed the agricultural production.
Before that time northbound caravan, had powerful enemy to block off, latter was facing the food crisis, was stranded in the border cannot move, the situation was critical. If not for Lowes Stee rushes to northbound caravan, only feared that after a period of time caravan will separate to collapse, besides fills in a bloody road to have no way out with the battle scene.
After Lorist rushes to the caravan management general situation, saw through Second Highness to use the scheme of caravan, to win over Lorist, Second Highness conferred Lorist is Count, has promoted the Norton Family seat, and takes the ownership as sealing and compensation in own hereditary Territory Silowas Islands sealed to Lorist.
Lorist leads caravan armed forces to sneak across Shirasagiko, the night assault bread post military compound, sieges row to reach that fort castle, has made a connection with the northbound path, sweeps across Madras Dukedom, the wind snowy night occupies to subdue|grams to wrestle the city, finally met Northern Land northbound caravan. But Second Highness also and Lorist acts in harmony, compels to fall row to reach the iron of that fort castle to protect Legion, has seized Madras Dukedom Yungechandler Province.
After Lorist leads family caravan northbound, Second Highness constructed the mountain road fort achievement to defend the Yungechandler Province defense barrier, and caused the internal strife of Iberia Kingdom reinforcements Madras Grand Duke seamount Legion and Second Prince led using Madras Dukedom biggest commercial city Vanades City, making both sides attack brutally, has avoided both sides that succeeded by the danger of enemy.
Redlis Kingdom 70,000 armies who then in two palace subsets the military strength, the big prince of resistance invasion leads on a large scale, first is orders strong winds Legion to resist successively, makes the 70,000 armies of big prince lose by the serious casualties more than half, then has ambushed the big prince other more than 30,000 crack troops in running water Sichuan, in dire straits stiffly and eliminated these 30,000 armies, forcing the big prince to put on makeup the refugee to escape.
A running water Sichuan service offense and defense easy, Second Highness commands the army to counter-attack into Redlis Kingdom, compelling the big prince only to sign the treaty signed under coercion, cedes two provinces to give Andinak Kingdom. Returns to the armed forces later and Second Prince hits mutually wounded Madras Grand Duke to send for summing, cedes Yungechandler Province to Andinak Kingdom, after before making Andinak Kingdom becomes, Krissen Empire to split , the territory biggest kingdom, the strength increase, Second Highness also therefore becomes famous, is honored as the armed forces god of new generation.
Now five years pass by, Lorist has stabilized Northern Land finally, enabling family Territory to be developed very big development, this first time arrived at this to seal to give own new Territory, Silowas Islands.
The Silowas Islands wharf is located in the shore of its only cities white-feathered bird town, one somewhat curving wooden trestle thorough sea level about hundred meters, side is a pure white sand beach, the sea water is limpid.
Those who make Lorist somewhat surprised is, the two sides of wooden trestle are anchoring 78 sea boats, several decorations are magnificent, on the flag that on that ship flutters draws obviously is the badge of Aristocrat(s) aristocratic family, it seems like that this Silowas Islands not like legend is so remote and unusual person communicates.
Without the boat of piloting, seashore the arrival of cities flying fish number to dawn does not have the sound, even in front the joined mark runs the people who watches the fun not to appear.
Dawn flying fish number received white sails on three mast, only around closes right up against vertical sail slowly approaches when to the wooden trestle, several sailors who left similar is far to jump onto the wooden trestle, then caught the cable that threw, drew and near on the dawn flying fish number department's to wooden trestle blockhead block.
Lorist told: „Wilson, keeps 50% sailors to look at the ship, Doles, you make five Ballista archers keep on the ship to complete to defend first. I felt that this white-feathered bird town is a little strange, how a wharf person does not have. Other people go in cities to have a look with me what's the matter.”
Quick Lorist knew, in the white-feathered bird town is not nobody, but is all people are centralized in the plaza of cities, 2,000-3,000 people push solid not the big square, often exudes intermittent noise and protests.
Pats the shoulder of man a front 40-50 -year-old sailor has dressed up, Lorist asks: „Can friend, tell here what happened?”
The man has not turned head, having some resentment to scold: „Also can have any matter, Yaaz Viscount that dog * mother * raises ran over to collect taxes......”
„Collects taxes?” Lorist has gawked, this Silowas Islands is not Norton Family new Territory, how will some people run over to collect taxes?
„You explained the lemon spot! Who comes to here to collect taxes? Does he collect taxes for whom?” Relates to collect taxes, relates to money, Charade already violent anger, this is Norton Family Territory, the family is five years of nobody handles, now discovered that some people collect taxes unexpectedly here, this solely is not affronts Norton Family to be so simple, this almost in the palm of the hand of fan Norton Family! He holds the man who the front that sailor dresses up, draws to front directly.
That man just wants to shout abuse, but has turned around to see that family Imperial Guard of Lorist several wear service pattern armor kept silent immediately, sees the man of world one to understand, these people are not, lowers the head to ask for mercy hastily, so long as he who annoy knows certainly overall tells the truth, does not conceal.
„Is this, today Yaaz Viscount brought squad soldier(s) to collect taxes, our mayor Hugo father has rejected he unreasonable additional tax request, Yaaz Viscount became angry out of shame, must hang oneself to hit 50 whips Hugo father in the square unexpectedly. The garrison of white-feathered bird town sent out, but this time Yaaz Viscount brought Golden Rank Knight(s) to come, although the garrison population were many, did not have one to be able to match, now two Fang Jiangchi lived. We are hear the news to catch up, hopes that rescued Hugo father......” man to explain in the square to gather the reasons of these many people quickly.
„This isn't Silowas Islands Norton Family Territory? That did Viscount that called Yaaz why collect taxes?” Schwartz asked.
The men do not have, because Schwartz has profaned him young, explained: „This Yaaz Viscount came to collect taxes by the request of our kingdom prince regent Second Highness.”
„Request?” Asking that Charade ablazes with anger: „This is Norton Family Territory, why does Second Highness also send for collecting taxes?”
„This, this I am not clear, but I hear for five years ago when Yaaz Viscount first time comes only collects 10% what tax, then second year coming time must receive 20%, said that Second Highness raised the tax rate, but must collect the poll tax. The third year comes to receive 30%, said that was Second Highness must expand manpower the army to enhance 10%, had the liquor water rates besides the poll tax, the pierage wait / etc.. The year before last and last year came to collect 50% taxes, the real estate tax, the transit duty, the wooded mountain tax and fishing boat tax, it is said these were the duplicate national taxes, is......” man who to unify and to revive Krissen Empire received recalls.
„My date!” Charade air/Qi must manifest suddenly, has collects taxes like this? Like this collects taxes that also to seal nonsense Territory!
„What name that does he collect taxes and increased today? Why does that mayor reject?” Lorist asked.
„This, this I not am quite clear. However listened to the front rumor a moment ago, probably was said that this had not seen the person's shadow has not come Silowas Islands Territory Norton Family also to have family Territory in Northern Land. Because is distanced too far, therefore that family Territory tax revenue did not have on gives Second Highness. Yaaz Viscount decision makes up the tax revenue that uneven past years Norton Family has not delivered from here. Words that such one calculates, in our white-feathered bird town public treasury on all the belongings of accumulation returns insufficiently, each families have also owed a large amount debt, listening to them saying that everyone must deliver above three gold fordes to pay off, therefore everybody gathered one to save the mayor here \; second, to indicate to protest that......” sailor man muttered said.
„He He, he he......” Lorist has been mad happily, is very good, including coming out that such collecting taxes name also thinks, really grew in experience. Is widely separated by the thousand li(500 km) like Northern Land by the enemy separation and kingdom not connected Territory, the kingdom, not only cannot collect taxes, generally must give the subsidy, to commend loyal and chastity behavior.
Lorist is angry, he does not know that this is Second Highness independently deciding of inciting that Yaaz Viscount. Had not come to handle new Territory, that Second Highness does not need to send for collecting the what tax specially, can criticize the tax revenue of accumulated debts in account superior Lord(s) to new Territory first again, this is the convention between Aristocrat(s). Lorist can believe that Second Highness does not know the circumstances of the matter, then this Yaaz Viscount must have the suffering to eat.
„Plays our bugle, revealed that our banners, we must all on Silowas Islands to know that Norton Family came, their Lord(s) came!” Lorist turns around to say to oneself behind Imperial Guard instruction.
„Yes, Lord(s)!”
