Chapter 65 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

"What an amazing trick!" Kaku was practicing his favorite kicking skills. Augustine taught him a way to practice leg skills. He practiced walking on the edge of a light bamboo basket. As long as he could run on it like flying and the bamboo basket was not moving for a moment, he was considered to be the first.

......

"I hope you can further control your own strength," Augustine made his own request to the six people. "Don't just focus on the power of Tao. No matter how powerful it is, it will have no effect if it can't hit people."

The six people thought about it and then went to think about their own things.

A whole month later, Augustine finally received news from An Lao that three countries had entered the pockets of the Jotireo family.

"It's almost done. Let's go to the Kingdom of Sponel."

"Yes!" Everyone almost cheered when they heard that they could finally leave this place where the birds were not shit. It was really too small and boring. They were almost renovating the warship three times.

Since they are already their own vassal states, Augustine doesn't want them to be destroyed too badly. In that case, the heavenly gold he gets will also decrease every year.

"Finally arrived, a good place!" When Augustine got off the ship, she saw the kings and nobles who were looking forward to the harbor. After receiving the news that the general came to suppress the rebels, they finally put their hearts in their stomachs and summoned everyone to welcome them.

The Kingdom of Sponil has three large cities, ten small towns, and dozens of villages densely covered with stars. However, the nobles of this country were too greedy and forced the farmers and the poor to rebel.

Augustine didn't want to be an executioner, so the first thing he did when he came to the Kingdom of Sponel was to change the nobles' blood.

"In the name of the Dragon, as a vassal state of my Jotireo family, the royal family of the Kingdom of Sponel was not able to help the master protect and govern this country well. I convict you."

"Joe...Joty Leo family? Lord Tianlong!" King Sponil VII sat on the ground. He only knew that a general was coming. Unexpectedly, this general was a Dinosaur, and he was also the new master of the Kingdom of Sponil. Then he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, shouting, "Sir... Lord, please give me another chance, please... please don't..."

"It's so noisy, let him be quiet."

Following Augustine's plain command, Kaku kicked Sponel VII on the back of the head, knocking him out, and kicked him into the sea with another kick.

"In August 1517, King Sponel VII was assassinated by revolutionary assassins and unfortunately died," Augustine said, not forgetting to complain, "What a poor guy, he's a grand funeral."

“…”

"You are so kind, sir."

"Sir, wise!"

"Damn revolutionary army, please lead us to destroy them!"

Augustine looked at the faces of these nobles and thought that she had really underestimated the bottom line of these guys. She was completely unconventional. He raised his hand and the nobles below immediately calmed down.

"I believe that the poor in the Kingdom of Sponel are all cute. Because they are forced by the state's tyrants and taxes, they will rebel with the revolutionary army. What we need to do now is not to send troops to attack them, but to give them a way out.

"Ah?" Hearing Augustine's words, the nobles looked at each other. This was too far from what they imagined. A radical noble immediately raised objections and said, "Sir, those unlucky guys who are not grateful to him...they..."

"What's your name?" Augustine turned his head and looked at him and asked.

"Tel Gesolo, I am the hereditary duke of the Tel family."

"Do you have a son?" Augustine asked a question that made him feel inexplicable.

"No...no?" Tel Gersolo shook his head.

"Do you have brothers?"

"I have a younger brother, he is..."

Before he could finish his words, Gabra suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed his head, and pressed hard on the hard ground.

"Click!"

"Poor guy, but since you have a younger brother, he can inherit the hereditary duke of the Tyre family." Augustine never looked at him again. He glanced around all the nobles' faces. When he saw one of his eyes, he lowered his head in fear, fearing that he would become the next "poor guy".

"Is anyone else having any questions?"

The nobles shook their heads quickly.

Seeing that no one objected, Augustine nodded all over the ground: "That's right, I am the most democratic. If you make better suggestions, of course I will adopt them."

"That's strange!" The people present complained in their hearts. Of course, they were still extremely respectful and obedient on the surface, and did not dare to express even a slight dissatisfaction.

"Then, if you finish these things for me within a month, you won't have to come back to see me if you can't finish them. Go out to sea to be a pirate."

Augustine's words made the nobles feel astonished. If they didn't do things well, they would have a way out except being a pirate.

"First, agricultural tax is abolished, and farmers do not need to pay any taxes in any form in sowing their own land. If they are hired farmers, the rent shall not be higher than one-tenth of the harvest." If it were not for the shock just now, the nobles would inevitably object again when they heard this.

Augustine continued with the reform policy prepared in advance, saying, "Secondly, merchants in the Kingdom of Sponel are required to pay the most basic transaction tax to engage in business activities. Foreign merchants come to Sponel to do business only to pay transaction taxes and prescribed tariffs to abolish the messy taxes you originally set. Listen, this is the gateway country of the North Sea. It's really embarrassing to see what your business has become. The gold tribute paid last year was not as good as some small countries with a size of half yours."

The nobles bowed their heads and said nothing, not knowing whether they were ashamed or angry.

"The third point and most important thing is that whether it is to rebel voluntarily or be coerced by the revolutionary army to join the rebellion, all rebels who put down their weapons can be treated leniently, and the Kingdom of Sponel will not hold them accountable."

"And those first night rights, buying life rights..." Augustine looked at the nobles with a gloomy look, "Don't let me know that you have similar cruelty..."
