"Uh." Everyone was stunned by Xiao Jie's remark. It was okay at first, and they were all ways to deal with those rebels. Although it was a bit strange, it was still acceptable. But when it came to training those girls, everyone's eyes on Xiao Jie changed, and they all guessed what he meant. I can only think in my heart and dare not speak out. But in the end, when Xiao Jie talked about how to deal with those young women, everyone was stunned. At that time, Western thinking was very open, and most of them advocated free love, but now Xiao Jie uses this method to persecute those women, which is somewhat immoral. In fact, Xiao Jie also has his own unique insights. The soldiers in the army are all young men in their twenties, and all of them are full of vigor. Needs in that area are always inevitable, and they cannot always be solved by themselves. , holding back is also prone to accidents. On the other hand, because the soldiers of the 88th Legion are all from France, it is inevitable that they will feel homesick, but if they marry an Iberian wife, it will be easy, and they can be regarded as taking root here. Of course, the 88th Army Corps plus the newly formed 3rd and 4th Divisions have a total of 150,000 to 60,000 people, and there are not many women who meet the conditions. Of course, there must be some who are unwilling to do so, so Xiao Jie will continue It is also planned to mobilize soldiers to choose Iberian women to marry to enrich the population here. At present, there are only about 10 million people in Iberia in total. The war has killed adult men and caused a serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women. Xiao Jie did this to ease this situation. And those girls who are trained will receive a comprehensive brainwashing education, and develop in all aspects according to their individual potential, so as to serve the future development of Iberia.
These methods of Xiao Jie made the civil servants feel a little baffled, but the soldiers cheered, especially the many unmarried officers. You must know that these are all noble women, and most of the noble women are still very good-looking.
"Hey, Your Royal Highness, what should we do if those young women are already married?" The person who asked this question was the Minister of Justice, Caroyute, who was also an aristocrat with the title of Earl. Work in the Spanish legal system. But this time he was lucky and did not participate in the rebellion, so he was reused this time.
"If this happens, all their previous marriages will be invalidated. The reason is very simple. If they are willing to abandon their marriages this time in order to avoid punishment, then their previous marriages will no longer be necessary." Xiao Jie's solution Somewhat unreasonable, but also very reasonable.
"Then, everyone has no objection to the way these rebels are handled." Xiao Jie looked at the crowd and said,
"One more question, Your Royal Highness. Among the people who participated in the rebellion, some belonged to the church. How should we deal with them? How should we deal with the property of the church?" Prime Minister Forbeck asked. Everyone looked at Xiao Jie to see how he would deal with this problem.
This is indeed a very difficult issue. The church still has great influence among the people. In Iberia, 95% of the people believe in Catholicism. If it is not handled properly, it may cause bad Influence. Theocracy and monarchy have been in great conflict over the years. In the Middle Ages, the power of the Christian Church ran rampant throughout Europe. If someone else came to deal with this issue, they might compromise, but Xiao Jie is different, he doesn't believe in religion at all, this is probably the result of the influence of atheism in later generations, as for his uncle Napoleon, it is even more so. Awesome, among the European monarchs, the only one who doesn't take the Pope seriously, can even threaten him with a sword against the Pope's neck, so that the Pope deprived him of the right to enter the church to pray for life, but he has nothing to do with it I don't care. Because of this, Xiao Jie will not be soft on those church members who participated in the rebellion. One of the main reasons is that they have a lot of wealth and land in their hands, and these are what Xiao Jie covets now. "For those church members, those who deserve to be killed, those who should be punished, will not be lenient. In addition, all the property of the church members who participated in the rebellion, including the property belonging to the church, will be confiscated. If anyone dares to use this matter If there is trouble, it will be treated as rebellion. I want everyone to know: Anyone who opposes the country will not end well."
"Hiss." All the people gasped like this. They didn't expect him to be so tough, but no one dared to express any objection. They were all thinking in their hearts: It seems that the Bonaparte family is really a group The bull in the eyes.
Xiao Jie's handling was highly praised by Napoleon, saying that he deserved to be his nephew and heir to France. Pope Pius VII strongly condemned Xiao Jie's "barbaric" behavior and called on the majority of believers to rise up against his cruel rule. After a pause, he was speechless. In the whole of Europe, only the United Kingdom issued a statement in support of the Pope's actions. Other countries may have some criticisms, but they all kept their mouths shut so as not to cause unwarranted disasters. And in various parts of Iberia, under the instigation of people with good intentions, riots against Xiao Jie's rule did break out, but for this, Xiao Jie took a severe suppression, and after killing many leaders, the rest of the people knew what to do. Some of them hid at home and never dared to participate in the riot again. Of course, these are things for later.
After discussing how to deal with these rebels, the rest are the prisoners of war. For these people, it is a waste of food to keep them for nothing, and they are afraid of causing social unrest, especially if there are 20,000 British people among them, and no one knows what to do. So, the method of handling this was handed over to Xiao Jie to decide.
Xiao Jie thought for a while: "This is easy to handle. For those prisoners of war, we can let them work in exchange for the food they need every day. Aren't we going to build a lot of railways? Then they are ready-made free labor. It can save a lot of cost. For those who work hard, after working for a period of time, they can be released as appropriate, and those who are passive and lazy will be given severe punishment. In addition, those British people are not included, they only need Just do some light labor. I’m still waiting for the British government to redeem people. The construction of Iberia still needs a lot of money, so of course it can’t be wasted. This matter is up to His Excellency Gregor (Minister of Foreign Affairs) Let’s deal with it, remember one thing, you can ask for one more franc is one franc, and this time we must hit the British hard.”
"His Royal Highness, what if our asking price is too high and they don't accept it?" Gregor asked a bit embarrassed.
"That's very simple, just tell their negotiating representatives, if we don't agree, we will let those British prisoners of war do high-intensity labor to redeem themselves, of course, the wages are lower than the lowest level in society. I think they I will not refuse. Otherwise, the angry people in their country will definitely tear them apart." Xiao Jie smiled evilly.
Almost everyone's contempt for Xiao Jie deepened.
On March 1, after many days of statistics, the total property of those rebels was finally counted. Of course, the people engaged in the statistical work were all transferred from the staff department, and no government personnel participated in it. This is Xiao Jay asked for it.
"Your Highness, all the assets have been counted, including cash, gold, jewelry and antiques, etc. After discounting, the total is 3.254 billion francs, and the cultivated land is not included, a total of 15 million hectares ( This number is not certain, it was deduced by Xiaoyu based on the current 23 million hectares of Iberia’s total arable land, I can’t find the correct information, sorry!)” Eke reported to Xiao Jiehui.
After hearing this figure, Xiao Jie was secretly stunned. He never thought that those nobles were so rich. After hundreds of years of accumulation, it was not built up. It was more than twice the GDP of the whole of France. I know how rich the families of the nobles in France are~www.mtlnovel.com~ and cultivated land, which actually accounted for two-thirds of the total.
"Eck, the total should be 2.254 billion francs, understand? In addition, don't move those cultivated land, I have other uses." Xiao Jie said.
Eke was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood Xiao Jie's meaning, and quickly said: "I see, I will take care of it."
"Well, very good. Let the soldiers share the other 200 million odds. As a reward for this war, you generals can take care of it. In addition, don't report this matter. It's only a matter of time if you can hide it. I will arrange the use of the money as soon as possible." Xiao Jie said. Even if you eat meat yourself, you have to gnaw some bones for your subordinates, right? More than 200 million is still a fraction. I don't know what Napoleon, who is struggling with war funds, will think when he finds out.
"Okay, I see. Your Royal Highness." Eke said with a smile on his face. As the third in command of the army, of course he can get a lot of it. In fact, when they participated in the statistics, they had already reaped a lot of benefits. Of course, this must not be compared with Xiao Jie. This is probably the difference between the monarch and his subordinates.
