Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country! - Chapter 441 Attack on the Kingdom of Basel!

————

　　

　　 [The words written in the front:]

　　

　　In this chapter,

　　

　　 For some term explanations, from a rigorous academic point of view, there may be a little far-fetched suspicion.

　　

　　 But it can be considered as sentimental, and I suddenly wanted to write.

　　

so……

　　

　　 If there is something wrong with the writing, I hope everyone is correct!

　　

　　 It was just these few days that I suddenly realized that some things can be explained from another angle.

　　

　　————

　　

　　 The Kingdom of Basel in June can already be called a hot summer.

　　

but……

　　

　　 No matter how hot the weather and the environment are, it is far not as hot as the hearts of the Basel nobles.

　　

　　With the skyrocketing price of tulips,

　　

　　 When the time came to the end of June, the price of a tulip bulb was as high as nine gold coins!

　　

　　 six months!

　　

　　 only half a year,

　　

　　 Many of the Basel nobles have earned the money they have accumulated over the past ten years, even decades, through the ever-increasing tulip bulbs.

　　

　　 This also made their hearts seem to be hiding a burning bonfire, making the hearts of the entire Kingdom of Basel float.

　　

　　 The nobles of the Kingdom of Basel are no longer willing to let their serfs grow food.

　　

so……

　　

　　 A bunch of baby-like tulip bulbs were planted in the land originally used to grow wheat.

　　

　　 And the merchants in the Kingdom of Basel no longer bother to travel back and forth to sell merchandise.

　　

　　 After all... Compared with working **** the road, the tulip business is obviously much easier to do.

　　

　　 They do not need to worry about the risks on the road, nor do they have to worry about price fluctuations.

　　

　　 You only need to stock up on the tulips you bought in the warehouse, and your value will rise.

　　

　　 everyone,

　　

　　From nobles to merchants, to civilians with a little wealthier life...

　　

　　 The vast majority of them have been immersed in the atmosphere of skyrocketing tulips and have lost their own judgment.

　　

　　 Of course someone raised doubts,

　　

　　Of course, some people have strongly criticized this,

　　

But……

　　

　　 In communication, there is a phenomenon called... [silent spiral].

　　

in short,

　　

　　 When people are expressing their thoughts and opinions, if they see that the opinions they agree with are widely welcomed, they will actively participate in them and let such opinions be published and spread more boldly.

　　

But if no one or very few people pay attention to the voice you make, and sometimes you will encounter a group attack... Then even if you agree with it, you will already bury it deep in your heart. Keep silent in front of you.

　　

　　 Just like the previous life before Bruno crossed, the eyes on the Internet are dazzling,

　　

　　 But unfortunately...

　　

　　 After almost every entry related to policy measures, under every news that spreads positive energy, there will be a group of people who challenge and abuse all kinds of.

　　

　　They hate the country, they stab them, they preach gender antagonism everywhere, and they put all kinds of hats on people who disagree with them...

　　

Then,

　　

slowly……

　　

　　 Fewer people refuted them.

　　

　　 This does not mean that everyone agrees with their views, but it means that... the netizens who had dared to speak out of righteousness have fallen into a spiral of silence...

　　

　　 (The above explanation is a bit far-fetched, but I really can’t help it. I open hot search entries every day, all of which are a lot of comments that make my brain hurt. It’s so difficult to watch the news quietly...)

　　

　　 At this time, the public opinion of the Kingdom of Basel has a tendency to evolve in this direction.

　　

　　 just...

　　

　　In the Kingdom of Basel, it is no longer the majority of people who are awake, but a very small number of smart people.

　　

　　 They feel that behind the skyrocketing tulip, there may be a pair of invisible hands manipulating everything, making the price of tulips soar.

　　

But……

　　

　　 One is because they can’t produce evidence,

　　

　　Second, it’s because those nobles who are immersed in huge profits, how can they have the heart to listen to others to talk about these?

　　

so……

　　

　　 The way the nobles treated similar speeches was very simple.

　　

　　 If the person who speaks is a commoner, then get fattened; if it is a nobleman, then go to the door to debate and reason with others.

　　

　　 Anyway...

　　

　　As more and more people join the army of advocating the value of tulips, almost everyone regards the skyrocketing price of tulips as a matter of reason.

　　

　　 This phenomenon is actually called "Me in the Mirror", which is still a communication term.

　　

in short,

　　

　　 People's knowledge of themselves is mainly formed through social interaction with others.

　　

how to say?

　　

for example……

　　

　　 And still take Bruno's previous life as an example.

　　

at that time,

　　

　　 A large number of foreigners have an inexplicable prejudice against us.

　　

　　For example...

　　

　　A brand that can be returned within 30 days in most countries and regions, even in our land, refuses to let us return.

　　

　　 They claim the values ​​they believe in as the only correct values.

　　

　　 They do everything they can to belittle us and vilify us...

　　

　　Do they really not know the changes that have taken place in this land where we live?

　　

　　Do they really know that they are actually the offspring of robbers, with ugly and sinful blood flowing in their bodies?

　　

the answer is……

　　

　　 Those ordinary people may really not know.

　　

　　Because from beginning to end, what they know about us in the Western media has never been what we really are.

　　

But……

　　

　　 They have always lived in that environment, and all the feedback they receive is full of malice and prejudice against us.

　　

　　 This is me in the mirror.

　　

　　 In their false public opinion atmosphere, they think what they hear is true, and they think they are the right one.

　　

　　 just like the nobles of this age,

　　

　　 Their views on the Principality of Idar have always been desolate, remote, poor and backward.

　　

　　 Even if the Principality of Idar let the Odin Empire escape, even if the Principality of Idar let the refugees rush to go,

　　

　　 But in the hearts of the nobles...

　　

　　 The Principality of Idar is still the Principality of Idar, and it is still the Principality of Idar, which is poor and backward.

　　

　　 This is a stereotype that has long been formed.

　　

　　 Even some sober nobles have witnessed the changes in the Principality of Idar, but in the atmosphere of the Principality of Idar that is generally believed to be poor... they will gradually become a member of the [Spiral of Silence].

　　

　　 And in the Kingdom of Basel today,

　　

　　The nobles of the Kingdom of Basel have stubbornly determined that tulips will definitely rise! Will definitely continue to rise!

　　

so……

　　

　　 Even at this moment, the King of Basel stood up and said that the tulip would plummet, and no one would believe such a statement.

　　

This,

　　

　　 is what Bruno wants to see!

　　

Because……

　　

　　As the cardinal Camus Blanchard mentioned...

　　

　　 As the price of tulips continues to rise, the Kingdom of Basel has expanded!

　　

　　……

　　

　　 Palace of Basel.

　　

　　 The sober King of Basel Clark Poulsen was lowering his head, lying on the desk in front of him, carefully counting the numbers on the parchment scroll.

　　

　　 Since he became the king, the King of Basel, who is obsessed with alcohol and can't help himself, has never been so sober as he is now!

　　

　　 And all of this is derived from the tulip that is in skyrocketing!

　　

　　 Clark Poulsen’s wealth is changing every moment, and the royal family’s wealth is growing every day, which makes him feel for the first time...that he is such a wise monarch!

　　

so……

　　

　　 His mentality has changed.

　　

　　 In the past period of time, the Church of Illumination has been running in series on the land of the Kingdom of Basel, hoping that the Kingdom of Basel can raise troops to attack the Duchy of Idar in the north.

　　

But……

　　

　　 Before this,

　　

　　 Even though the dumping of Idar's goods caused great losses to many nobles, including the royal family, the King of Basel dared not start the war lightly.

　　 But now, they dare!

　　

　　 Because they have tulips in their hands that can continue to appreciate!

　　

　　 As early as a week ago, special envoys sent by the Kingdom of Basel appeared in the mercenary market across the mainland.

　　

　　 The Kingdom of Basel has not only hired a well-known and extremely well-known mercenary army including the Moon of the Evil, the Fang of Nightmare, and the Sidon Resistance Army, etc., but it has also begun to seriously consider the proposal from the Church of Light.

　　

Yes,

　　

　　 Many Basel nobles, including the Basel royal family, have already made their decisions with practical actions.

　　

beat!

　　

　　 If you don't fight at this time, then I'm afraid there won't be such a suitable time again!

　　

　　 these days,

　　

　　 Many ministers under King Basel met in the palace almost every day to discuss how to launch an offensive against the Duchy of Idar.

　　

after all……

　　

　　 The long-range weapon possessed by the Idars, the magic rifle, is no longer a secret.

　　

　　 In order to defend against the weapons possessed by the Idar army, the Kingdom of Basel has begun to build a "shield car" made of thick wooden boards.

　　

　　Although they don’t know the true power of the magic rifle, nor have they seen the power of the magic rifle with their own eyes, the smug Basel nobles have convinced themselves...

　　

　　 This kind of "ingenious workmanship"-like sturdy armor can definitely make the Idar's magic rifle useless.

　　

　　The advantage is in me!

　　

　　 The Idars must have never imagined that they would launch an offensive against them!

　　

　　 Even in the mind of King Clark Poulsen of Basel, he has begun to imagine the praise he would get after he defeated Idar's army.

　　

By the time,

　　

　　The Kingdom of Basel will inevitably have the same production efficiency as the Duchy of Idar, with a larger population, and the territory ruled by the Basel royal family will inevitably expand to what it looked like two hundred years ago!

　　

　　 (The eastern part of the empire was once the territory of the Kingdom of Basel)

　　

　　 When I think of this,

　　

　　 Clark Poulsen’s mouth came out.

　　

after all……

　　

　　 This is a magnificent foundation that even my parents could not complete!

　　

　　 "Let’s let people order them down, order all the Basel nobles with territories to start preparing for this coming war!"

　　

　　 Hearing the words, the ministers present couldn't help but moved slightly, but they still replied very cleverly: "Yes..."

　　

　　……

　　

　　How did the nobles prepare for this war?

　　

　　 The answer is simple, provide soldiers, food and knights.

　　

in this era,

　　

　　 There is a very clear relationship between rights and obligations between lords and vassals.

　　

　　The lord grants land to the vassal, and the vassal loyal to the lord.

　　

　　 The vassal followed the lord to fight and help the lord to rule. The lord guaranteed the vassal's land rights and family rights.

　　

　　 When fighting, it is also the duty of the vassals of this era to provide soldiers and food to the lord according to the rank of the title, the size of the territory and the size of the population.

　　

　　 Soldiers have never been a problem, after all...If there are not enough private soldiers, it is perfectly fine to tie a bunch of serfs to the heads.

　　

so……

　　

　　The biggest problem is food!

　　

　　When the King of Basel proposed to enlist the nobles to join the war, why did the ministers in the palace look slightly changed?

　　

　　 Because of the skyrocketing tulip, a large part of the nobles are encouraged to use the surplus fields to grow flowers!

　　

　　 Including the dear ministers in the court!

　　

　　 And this means...

　　

　　 The food that the nobles will have at the harvest time is at most to meet the needs of their own territory, and they can't come up with excess food to support this war!

　　

　　 This also makes them have to pay for the grain and grass they have to buy out of their own pockets!

　　

　　 At least half of the nobles have almost put most of the money in their hands on the tulips!

　　

therefore……

　　

　　 They can only sell a drop of tulips in their hands to buy food and grass.

　　

　　 Although these tulips account for very little in their inventory...

　　

　　The price of tulips is rising every day after all. If they are sold at this time, they will naturally feel very heartache!

　　

no way,

　　

　　 Heartaches have to pay, after all...this is their obligation.

　　

　　 But what all the nobles don’t know is...

　　

　　 Don't say it's themselves,

　　

　　 There is no extra food for sale in the entire Kingdom of Basel today!

　　

　　……

　　

　　 Several years later,

　　

　　 Whenever I think back to the scene when the Kingdom of Basel attacked the Duchy of Idar,

　　

　　 Bruno would be frightened by the rigorous sense of secrecy of the Basel nobles.

　　

Because,

　　

　　 Almost after the King of Basel decided to accept the proposal of the Church of Illumination, a month later the news of the raid on the Principality of Idar reached the ears of the nobles...

　　

　　 The news that the Kingdom of Basel decided to send troops began to spread widely in this piece of land located in the southeast of the mainland.

　　

　　From serfs to civilians, from taverns to farmland, everyone has heard the news of the coming war.

　　

so……

　　

　　 Tulips are beginning to appreciate again!

　　

after all,

　　

at this time,

　　

　　 Is there a "currency" that is more value-preserving than the tulip that is rising every day?

　　

No!

　　

　　 War is full of uncertainty, but tulips will always keep their value!

　　

　　 Therefore, even if a part of the nobles sold a small amount of tulips, but...the market only produced a small amount of slight fluctuations.

　　

　　 And for such market fluctuations, the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel have long been used to it!

　　

　　 The fluctuation is temporary, and the appreciation is indeed eternal!

　　

　　 just...

　　

　　 Here comes the question!

　　

　　Since it was mentioned earlier that the Kingdom of Basel has no surplus food to start wars, where should the nobles buy food?

　　

　　 The answer is still very simple.

　　

　　 In fact,

　　

　　 Even if the Kingdom of Basel now has no food to start wars, but in the Kingdom of Basel, the price of food is still extremely stable, and a warehouse of food is still everywhere!

　　

　　Because these grains are not produced in the Kingdom of Basel at all!

　　

　　 They come from merchants walking around, and standing behind these merchants is the Principality of Idar!

　　

Yes,

　　

　　 When the news of the coming war spread wildly on the land of the Kingdom of Basel, the Principality of Idar, which has a huge intelligence system, naturally learned the detailed information related to it for the first time.

　　

so……

　　

　　 Bruno Stuart, the Duke of Idar, naturally acted as an "enemy".

　　

　　Business! Not ashamed!

　　

　　If there is insufficient food in the market, then the "wisdom" little heads of the Basel nobles might really realize the fact that everyone is planting tulips!

　　

　　 And this will undoubtedly have a bad effect on the price increase of tulips ~www.novelbuddy.com~.

　　

so……

　　

　　 In order to allow the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel to continue to blow bubbles, and to prevent the Kingdom of Basel from easily dispelling the decision to attack the Duchy of Idar...

　　

　　 A ship of grain was transported to the territory of Duke Stein by sea, and then sold to the hands of the nobles of Basel through the hands of Duke Stein and numerous caravans.

　　

after all……

　　

　　 Bruno is an outstanding young man in the new era who has a sense of morality and justice, and is willing to make selfless dedication and realize his dreams for others!

　　

　　How could he bear to watch the Basel nobles' dream of conquering the Principality of Idar be pierced so easily?

　　

　　 At least let the Kingdom of Basel fight for a wave, and then have a little friction with yourself, provide yourself with an excuse to capture the Kingdom of Basel?

　　

　　 Anyway, the Kingdom of Basel has not hesitated to entrust its economic lifeline (tulip) to the hands of the Principality of Idar, presumably...

　　

　　 would not mind sending his own food lifeline frankly into the hands of the Principality of Idar.

　　

what is this?

　　

　　 This is the true, self-sacrificing chivalry spirit!

　　

　　 While this chivalry spirit gradually turned into a vain name, the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel really did it!
