002 Revolution
Levi had to admit that there was nothing wrong with what Joseph said in the current environment.
Li Wei's investment in the first-line infantry regiment he created was entirely carried out in accordance with the current standards of the front-line professional standing army directly under the Royal Family of the Kingdom of France.
Now there is no war in the French Kingdom, and there are only tens of thousands of standing troops in such professional production!
Of course, this is not the sum of the army of the Kingdom of France. In every provincial and provincial city in the Kingdom of France, it has its own city guards and security forces. If all those with guns are included, there are still hundreds of thousands of people.
However, this type of troops is completely different from the professional standing army. They are typical office workers. Even the public security forces and city guards in many areas are very "part-time" office workers!
Unlike the first line infantry regiment created by Li Wei, all expenses are supported by the fiefdom of the Charles family.
It is not during wartime, and the proportion of expenditure in other aspects is still very large. Everything cannot be transferred to military use. It is obvious that Joseph is using this matter to smuggle Li Wei, making him give up on his investigation of his corruption.
Li Wei, who had been in contact with Joseph for half a year, also knew that if he had broken up with Joseph, he would definitely be scolded by the Earl's father in Paris, and even recalled him to Paris with a document!
Joseph served the Charles family for decades, and corruption of money could not make Li Wei's father ruthless.
Which of the bureaucrats and nobles in the French Kingdom is not greedy for money?
Those monks even took all the classes of the French Kingdom under the guise of God!
You should know that in the three strict hierarchies of the Kingdom of France, the monks of the church are the first ranks that stand on the heads of the nobles, which is the same as the identity of King Louis XVI!
"In recent years, France has had a severe drought and people are living in poverty. I created the first-line infantry regiment to protect the property of the Charles family.
If those civilians are about to starve to death, they will easily become mobs. I am not optimistic about the people in the public security office."
Joseph frowned slightly. If others dared to say bad things about the "uncle" in the public security office, Joseph would have some ways to unite the public security office to destroy his family, but Joseph really couldn't refute that when Levi said this.
After all, public security is oppressed... It is a good thing to shock the people. If they really go to the battlefield to fight, even Joseph will not have any confidence.
In peacetime, the security office and a very small number of castle guards were all composed of the force of the Charles family territory.
Because the living environment of the castle is too bad, the Charles family's castle has been abandoned for many years. The castle guard has transformed into a doorman security guard. The main responsibility is to prevent thieves from patrolling the ancestral castle of the Charles family, and to be responsible for the cleaning work. It is even more completely abandoned than a public security office!
Thinking of this, there seems to be no troops in the Charles family territory that can be fought...
"Young Master, almost all the sword nobles in the Kingdom of France are in this situation. Even those high-ranking and powerful dukes did not work hard to rectify the army like the young master."
The sword nobles mentioned by Joseph are the traditional feudal aristocrats of the French kingdom. They are all real powerful nobles with a large number of fiefs. Because they have the honor of sword honoring when entering the palace to meet the king, they are respected as sword nobles.
Correspondingly, the nobles in robe generally refer to those nobles who had no fiefdoms and were raised by King Louis XVI.
Because this kind of nobleman had no fiefdom, he relied more on King Louis XVI and often served as senior government officials of various levels.
Of course, the influence of the robe-wearing nobles and the sabers in the Kingdom of France is incomparable. Without the support of the king, the robe-wearing nobles are nothing.
Li Wei naturally understood what Joseph said. In the past six months, he has not just relied on the full-scale war system to train a line of infantry regiments, but is also constantly reading and absorbing the basic common sense of the Kingdom of France and neighboring countries.
However, the Duke of the Kingdom of France did not expand his army because he was worried about the taboos of the French royal family, rather than lack of money!
Aristocrats of that level would be submitted by the inspector to the document of King Louis XVI in minutes. On the contrary, a nobleman like Li Wei, who was not up or down and had no financial resources, would be fine to train a thousand,800 regular troops.
‘Anyway, my reputation is now rotten, I have a full-scale war system, and my reputation among the people is of no use to me.
If taxes are increased to force civil rebellion, maybe I can lead troops to suppress the rebellion and get the glory of the full war system!’
After thinking for a while, Li Wei said, "It's okay to increase taxes, but I want to check all the income and expenditure books for this quarter myself."
“That’s natural.”
Joseph bowed slightly to Li Wei, who was sitting with an elegant smile.
Making fake accounts is his unique skill!
After Joseph left, Levi leaned back in his seat and called out the total war system in his mind.
【Name: Levi Charles
Building points: 0
Glory value: 0
Already owned system functional building: Charles Town Training Camp
Training arms templates have been enabled: Basic Line Infantry
The army with complete training: the first line infantry regiment (1,000 people in the first phase of the Charles Town Training Camp)
Mission: Capture Rennes, the capital city of Brittany, and rewards are random.
Evaluation: If a weak local snake without aristocratic status, at most he will be the leader of a group of bandits.]
“This systematic review is still as unpleasant as ever.
It seems that this glory value can only be obtained through war. I have never succeeded in trying it in the past six months. It should be more difficult to obtain building points than glory value.
However, I don’t need the construction points yet. There is a newcomer gift package given by the Total War System, which comes with the Charles Town Training Camp, which is enough for me to build a team.
Unfortunately, there is only a little glory value in the newcomer gift package, and the brainwashing effect can only be started for one month in the training camp.
One month is just the lowest training cycle for basic troops in the training camp.
Fortunately, the brainwashing effect was unexpectedly good. The soldiers looked at me like they were looking at God, haha.”
In the next few days, Li Wei handled simple official duties as before, not to defeat Joseph. The Charles family territory was full of Joseph's followers. If Li Wei had not had his identity there, he would not have been able to interfere in the affairs of the Charles family territory.
In addition, Joseph has the support of Li Wei's father behind him, so he can be said to be invincible.
Therefore, Li Wei handled government affairs just to train himself. After all, before traveling through time, he was just an ordinary person who had not graduated from a third-rate university, and he was not studying in the management department!
Since he has come across time and has a full-scale war system, Li Wei is naturally unwilling to continue to be a salted fish. Even if he really wants to be a salted fish, he still has to strive for a safe high position and wait until no one threatens his life before lying down to be a salted fish...
In addition to handling daily government affairs and enjoying personal services from 14-year-old Anne every night, Levi also occasionally leads troops to patrol the Charles family territory to understand the people's conditions.
After walking around the Charles family territory for a few times, Li Wei felt that the opportunity to win honor values might be coming soon.
The residents in the town are fine, but the farmers in the countryside look at them even Li Wei, who has little social experience, can feel naked malice and hatred!
A strong and 1.8-meter tall young man looked at Li Wei who was patrolling and leaving the village and forced himself to suppress his desire to kill in his heart.
He is Henry, an ordinary lumberjack, who hates the nobles because of his childhood experiences!
Today's inspection made Li Wei feel a little uneasy because he received an urgent report from Paris when he was handling official duties in the morning.
The Paris Revolution broke out!
The political prison, which symbolizes the authority of the three major hierarchies in France, and the Paris Municipal Government, have all fallen. A group of mob armed forces have surrounded the Palace of Versailles, the palace of King Louis XVI!
Dang~Dang~~
"Warning bell?"
Li Wei turned his head suspiciously at the village he had just left. It was the village closest to Charles Town and the most populous village within a radius of thousands of miles.
After Li Wei stopped, all the officers and soldiers around stopped and looked at Li Wei.
The eyes were full of fanaticism!
At the same time, Henry and his companions were ringing the alarm bell in the village and summoning everyone. The original tax collectors and security officers in the village were knocked down by Henry and others and tied to the ground like pigs and dogs.
The village chief, the elder in the village, did not receive this treatment because he and Henry and his group were together.
After most of the people in the village gathered, Henry shouted loudly to everyone: "The great revolution has broken out in Paris. We should not continue to be exploited and oppressed by the nobles. Freedom, equality and fraternity are the pursuit of us French people!
Let us unite, break the castles of the corrupt nobles, take away the land deeds and loan contracts that oppress and enslave us, and we will be free people from now on!
For freedom, equality, fraternity, defeat the nobles!”
"Freedom! Equality! Fraternity!
Destroy the contract!”
Many insensitive farmers' eyes suddenly became brighter when they heard that they wanted to destroy the loan and the land acre contract.
In today's French Kingdom, nobles and monks are not only the largest landlords, but also the largest creditors!
Most ordinary farmers owe a lot of usury to nobles or monks.
After all, natural disasters and man-made disasters can easily lead to poor harvests. In order to survive, farmers who have no surplus grain can only borrow money from their own landlords, that is, nobles or church monks.
If this continues, the debt father dies and the son passes down from generation to generation. Even if these farmers work hard for the 18 generations of ancestors, they will not be able to get rid of their debts!
This has turned many farmers into walking dead laborers, and they really work just to live.
However, now that the great revolution broke out in Paris, they could openly seize and destroy their debt contracts from the nobles, even terminate their contractual relationships, regain those land deeds, and own their own land!
Chapter completed!
