The Great Voyage: I'm Not a Pirate

Chapter 78 The Rich Man’s Poor Brother

"Damn it!"Lord Hani knew that the matter could not be delayed any longer, otherwise the angry residents would start to attack the army, so he decisively took the trumpet and loudly said to the forest:"Prince Elvis, we are treason. I'll arrest you. If you don't come out, we're going in."

"……"The music in the forest stops

"Master, what do you mean by this? Is there any hidden secret here?"Betty's sharp ears heard Luo An's soliloquy, and she suddenly asked with a gossipy look on her face.

"Don't ask, this is a typical palace battle drama. The complexity is unbelievable. It's very brain-burning. You won't like this kind of thing. Even if you tell me, you can't understand it, or not. Say it."Luo An shook his head, how do you talk about this kind of thing? Especially since Betty is a girl, she must be very fond of things like palace fights and dog-blood dramas. Once she really talks about it, Betty will definitely break the casserole and ask the truth. Instead of doing this , it’s better not to say it directly

"Oh fine."Betty didn't take it seriously either. She just thought that Luo An was doing it for her own good, so she stopped asking.

Although Luo An didn't say much, the eyes of the crowd were equally sharp. There were many smart people in the crowd. Major Willie was so close to How could the 'unfounded' reason be hidden from them? They immediately began to discuss it

"What is this? I think it is clear that the king wants to take back the ownership of Rainbow Island."

"Moreover, does our king believe what King Morosa says? Who are you trying to fool?"

"Even a child can't be fooled by this trick. The king has long been covetous of Rainbow Island's income, and he must be planning to rob it."

"This must be the case. The king is very extravagant. He has built two palaces within five years of taking the throne. Now that the national treasury is tight, he must have the idea of ​​​​Rainbow Island."

"Let me tell you, it is not impossible for Rainbow Island to become independent. Now the entire Feist Kingdom relies on the income of Rainbow Island to support itself."

"That's right. The other two islands can only be self-sufficient. All the money used for policies is produced by our Rainbow Island. Why?"

"……"

At the beginning, some people were still dissatisfied with Rainbow, but as they talked, everyone's resentment also increased. The reason why the Feist Kingdom has been able to have such a high level of happiness in recent years is all because of money, and Most of this money comes from Rainbow Island, which means that the kingdom is using Rainbow Island's income to support the entire country - if the residents of Rainbow Island can be happy, then they will be damned.

If all the money from Rainbow Island could be used to build Rainbow Island, they would have become the most developed island in the East China Sea, instead of being like this now. Although they are very popular, they are still far away from being the first in the East China Sea - I The money earned is not his own, but has to be divided equally between two poor brothers. And the two brothers don't have to do anything, just lie in bed every day, and they can get countless money. Why?

In such a relationship, even if there are three brothers in the family, the one who is responsible for making money will not be happy. I am afraid that he will complain to his father for being unfair, or even separate the family directly, not to mention that Rainbow Island is just a first One of the three islands in the kingdom, the relationship between it and the other two islands is not as good as that of brothers, let alone full brothers. Naturally, the residents of Rainbow Island would not be happy if they used their own money to support the people on the other two islands.

In fact, Rainbow Island has long been dissatisfied with the policies of the First Kingdom. This is tantamount to sucking the blood of Rainbow Island and supplementing the other two islands. As the side that has been sucked, some residents of Rainbow Island have not thought about leaving. The rule of the Feist Kingdom.

It's just that the First Kingdom also has its own countermeasures, that is, the garrison on Rainbow Island are from the other two islands, which causes these garrison patrols on Rainbow Island to be particularly diligent. In addition, they recruit people from Rainbow Island into the kingdom. This creates an overlapping of interests among the top management, thereby maintaining the stability of Rainbow Island. Coupled with their secret methods, even if ambitious people want to cause trouble, they often fail.

However, this situation changed five years ago. Five years ago, the old king of the Feste Kingdom died of illness. The old king had two children, but there was only one throne. He was succeeded by the eldest son who had grown up, which is now Oro. The third generation, but in order not to treat his youngest son Elvis unfairly, he made him the Earl of Rainbow and granted Rainbow Island to him as a fief.

This resulted in Rainbow Island having its own master, and the people here had a backbone. It also led to a sharp drop in the financial revenue of the First Kingdom, because all the tax revenue originally belonged to the country, and 70% had to be allocated to Earl Rainbow. That is to say, only 30% of the original income the country obtained from here is left. Although it can support the implementation of old policies, it has become quite difficult to issue new policies.

In addition, Oro III is a person who likes luxury. He has built two palaces in the past few years, which has made the already tight finances even more tight, because several domestic policies to benefit the people cannot be implemented. There have been complaints for a long time, and Auro III's reputation is almost ruined.

On the contrary, Prince Elvis spent 70% of his income on the construction of Rainbow Island. The residents of Rainbow Island were extremely happy. Coupled with the improved infrastructure, more businessmen were attracted to Rainbow Island. The development of the island in the past five years has exceeded that of the previous twenty years.

After the governance of Earl Rainbow, the original resentment of Rainbow Island residents has subsided, and the idea of ​​independence has disappeared. But how could Oro III allow such a thing to happen? Naturally, he wants to take back the ownership of Rainbow Island. Just since last year, Prince Elvis has lived a secluded life for some reasons and is obsessed with music creation. Naturally, Oro III will not let it go. Taking this opportunity, a city lord was immediately sent over, hoping to disgrace Prince Elvis and secretly control Rainbow Island.

But a year later, Lord Honey still failed to do it, and Elvis's reputation remained. King Oro III couldn't wait any longer, so he urged Honey to immediately make up a reason to arrest Elvis and forcibly seize control of Rainbow Island.

At this time, Lord Hani, who was standing at the front, also heard the discussions around him, and his expression suddenly changed, because the people's comments had actually guessed the truth... He secretly complained that the king was too hasty, and in the end, especially Hervey Prince Si did not capture him, but instead aroused public indignation. If Rainbow Island is really going to be separated, then the First Kingdom will really return to before liberation - relying on the two remaining islands. Without taxes, the people of the country may starve to death. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
