The Great Voyage: I'm Not a Pirate

Chapter 33 Monlasen Kingdom

Monlasen Kingdom is located northwest of Freifans. Because there are no very distinctive products in the country, the country is relatively weak and mainly relies on agriculture. Lord, even the nobles live very poor lives, not to mention the lives of ordinary people. If they don't starve to death, it means the king has managed it well.

But precisely because of this, the domestic folk customs are strong. In the ten years after the Age of Discovery, tens of thousands of people chose to become pirates, and as many as dozens of pirate groups were established. The famous pirate country in the North Sea.

And it is precisely because it is too poor that the entire Monlasen Kingdom covets its wealthy neighbor Freifans. It can even be said to be envious and jealous, and almost breaks up with them.

It's just that Freifans is not a weakling. Because of the platinum and lead trade, Freifans' entire country's economy is extremely developed. Money means strength, so their military strength is also extremely strong. Coupled with the powerful weapons made of platinum and lead, basically no one dares to provoke it. The Monlasen Kingdom is weak, so naturally it does not dare to provoke Freifans.

But although he didn't dare to provoke him, as a poor neighbor of a rich man, Monglassen has always coveted Frevans' wealth. It can be said that whenever Frevans shows a little flaw, as long as there is a little chance, Monlassen He would immediately pounce on him without hesitation and bite off a piece of fat.

And luckily for them, this opportunity came soon. Ten years ago, the platinum lead disease broke out in Frevans, which made the Monlasen Kingdom see an opportunity. Based on the interests of Freifans and the fear of platinum-lead disease, coupled with the instigation of the world's ax and the special promise of not dividing the spoils in order to silence them, all the gains in Freifans belong to themselves. , King Menglasen at that time united the four countries around Freifans and blocked Freifans together.

But although Freifans had an outbreak of platinum-lead disease, it was still not easy to mess with. Although King Freifans took away all the elite troops, their combat effectiveness was still strong because of the platinum-lead weapons. As a result, although the Five-Nation Alliance finally defeated Freifans' resistance, they themselves suffered heavy losses. So out of revenge and at the same time to eliminate the so-called 'source of infection', with the tacit approval of the world, they The Allied Forces of the Five Nations carried out an inhuman massacre of Freifans...

After the massacre, not only the people of Freifans were wiped out, but the Allied Forces of the Five Nations also gained huge benefits and divided up the entire property of Freifans. After all, the royal family retreated too quickly at that time. At most, they took away the assets in the national treasury. The private money was not taken away yet. This was a property that far exceeded the national treasury several times. In the end, all the money was five times cheaper. Allied Forces.

It was with that harvest that the Monglasin Kingdom became fat in one breath. With this money, the entire country entered into rapid development. Today, Monglasin has become a well-known country in the surrounding area. Various handmade supplies produced in the country are very popular with foreign countries, and the entire country is said to have entered the fast lane of development.

Of course, the ones who benefit the most from this are actually the kingdoms. They account for only one ten thousandth of the country's population, but they have almost divided up 90% of the benefits. Only less than 10% are left to the common people, but it is this 10%. , but it brought the entire Monlasen Kingdom to a new peak. It can be seen how much benefits the Monlasen Kingdom Freifans gained at that time, and it also proved the wealth and prosperity of Freifans from the side.

However, from today on, the Mori Kingdom will cease to exist because Luo An took action.

Today is the court meeting at the beginning of the month. King Monglassen is receiving ministers and listening to their reports on the domestic situation.

"Your Majesty, last month we reached a new trade contract with the Kingdom of Russ. According to calculations, if this contract is completed, our revenue this year will increase by ten percent."

"Your Majesty, the number of crimes nationwide reached a record low last month, with less than ten cases. This is all due to your wise leadership."

"Your Majesty, the total amount of platinum-lead ore we dug and refined from Frevans this month reached 3,000 tons. However, in the process of competing for the mining area with the Kingdom of Lassen, more than a dozen miners were killed and injured."

"Your Majesty, there were three waves of pirate groups attacking our coast last month, but they were all repelled by our army. During this period, we lost 300 soldiers and are in urgent need of pensions."

"……"

The things reported by the nobles and ministers are basically happy events. It's not that they report good news but not bad news. They are a group of sycophants who only know how to flatter their superiors and bully their subordinates. In fact, these ministers are quite qualified, and their abilities are also very poor. As is customary, the problem is that the king is unwilling to listen - the king at this time, Guis III, is the king who led the massacre of Freifans ten years ago, and it was he who brought Monlasen to the current situation.

But people will change. No matter how wise the king is, he will become dim over time. Giss III had to be said to be wise enough before, but it is a pity that he may have been lying on the credit book for too long. Forgetting the poverty of the past, he gradually became arrogant, thinking that he was wise and mighty, that he had brought the Monlasen Kingdom to today, and that he was the god of the Monlasen Kingdom.

As a result, Gis III became more and more cruel, so much so that he could no longer hear any bad news about the country. From losing his temper at the beginning, to punishing him, and then killing people who reported bad news to him. In this way, Gith III changed from a king respected by everyone to the current tyrant Gith.

The ministers no longer dared to report any bad news, but tried their best to collect good news. As for the bad news, they were all resolved privately. Those who could not be resolved were reported to Giuseppe III in as tactful a way as possible. Put forward - for example, the three hundred soldiers who died in the battle were indeed all killed in the battle, but not all of them died in the battle with the pirates, some of them died in quelling the rebellion in the country.

However, there was obviously a rebellion in the country that could not be discussed with King Giese III, so the Minister of Military Affairs added the names of the soldiers who died in the battle to repel the pirates, in order to beg for these soldiers. Compensation. Otherwise, once Guis III knew that there was a rebellion in the country, he, the Minister of Military Affairs, and related officials would probably lose their lives, and they would not even want the pensions of the soldiers who died in the battle. ps: Many thanks to 'Sui Yuan' and rmme for the generous reward.
