Chapter 270 Terrible pension
ps: At the end of the month, ask for tickets, ask for subscription
After the city of Norwich was taken, the whole of England began to restore calm and peace, and the pockets of our king, the continuous flow of pounds sterling, also began to stop.
You must know that the local militiamen only serve the king for one month a year, and other than that, the rest of the salary is paid by the king.
On February 3, the good news from the northeast of England finally reached London. The nobles and commoners were not at all happy about the news of victory.
In fact, apart from His Majesty the King, no one else in England cared about these two riots at all.
"Your Majesty, according to the detailed reports of Marquis William and Cavalier Alexander, after one day's calculations by our Finance Department, here are the following figures!"
Edward reclined on his big seat, lazily opened his eyes, and listened to the report of Luna, the chief steward of the royal family and director of the royal family's finance department.
As the housekeeper, Luna can no longer be by Edward's side as before. The affairs of the royal family and court consume most of her time. Except for a few times a day, Edward hardly sees her. .
Edward squinted his eyes slightly, and carefully looked at the girl who grew up with him, feeling infinite emotion in his heart.
The girl is two years older than him, and has reached the age of sixteen. In this era when she started getting married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, she is relatively old!
Her long flaxen hair was held up by a red rope, revealing her smooth forehead. On top of her green eyes were two slightly thick eyebrows. A mature and stable atmosphere, even with a domineering feeling.
Of course, this is the feeling in the eyes of ordinary English men. John Bulls who are used to machismo will definitely not feel comfortable with this attitude of women over men!
Edward turned his eyes back and forth on her, and nodded with a smile.
Edward is very satisfied with this kind of powerful and beautiful Luna. In this society where women are dependent on men, it is difficult to see such a woman with a different temperament!
A pair of white and tender long legs stood upright, which was extremely alluring to a man.
"It's just that there are no stockings, alas, what a pity!" Edward sighed silently in his heart.
"Your Majesty, in the past three months, the total expenditure of the royal family has reached 160,000 pounds!"
Luna's red lips parted slightly, and she lifted a piece of paper with her fat white and tender fingers. She glanced sideways at the lazy young king with her beautiful eyes, rolled her eyes playfully, and then said softly.
"Among them, the Devonshire where Alexander Knight is located, spent a total of 60,000 pounds, which took up to two months, of which 30,000 pounds were spent on salaries, and 30,000 pounds were spent on food and weapons!"
"The army led by the Marquess of Pall spent 100,000 pounds, and the total number of troops assembled reached 20,000. It involved the six counties of East England and took as long as three months!"
"The total casualties of the militia are close to more than 6,000 people, and according to the regulations you promulgated, the total number of pensions for casualties and disabled soldiers has reached nearly 200,000 pounds!"
The pension regulations that Luna mentioned were issued during the establishment of the Guards. The standard of pensions was 10 pounds for minor injuries, 50 pounds for serious injuries and disabilities, and 100 pounds for the families of those who died. Received from Royal Bank.
For the militiamen, pensions and so on are just floating clouds, basically they have never seen or imagined such a thing.
Serving as a soldier to eat food and make money is the consensus of all ordinary soldiers in Europe and even the world at present. As for the king, England, etc., this word does not exist in the soldiers' minds at all!
Therefore, Edward has always been entangled in the pension of the militia.
Pensions! The number of militiamen who died is an astronomical figure. It can be said without hesitation that it can directly drag the royal family into bankruptcy.
However, if pensions are provided, there are many benefits.
First, it can win a lot of hearts for the royal family.
You must know that every militiaman has a large family behind him. If pensions are issued to 1,000 people, it can affect at least a few thousand people.
And this time, if pensions are issued to more than 6,000 casualties, at least 40,000 to 50,000 people can be affected.
And you must know that the total population of England and Wales is only three million at this time, which is not a small number.
So, after some consideration, Edward decided to issue pensions to the militia, but the standard was directly cut in half, so that the royal family could barely support it!
However, in this way, this number is also shocking, reaching two hundred thousand.
These two suppressions of civil riots directly cost as much as 360,000 yuan, which was almost the income of the royal family for a year.
If his cheap father Henry VIII encountered this incident, his first reaction would be to sell the land, and the second would be to borrow money.
Simply, last year's income was close to 300,000 pounds that had not been spent, and coupled with the income from pubs and liquor sales in the past few months, the pension could barely be fully paid out.
"Luna, send someone to the Marquis of Pall and Knight Alexander to register in detail, record the wounded and dead soldiers, and try not to miss them!"
Edward felt a little uneasy when he heard such a large number. He immediately sat up straight and ordered in a loud voice.
Such a huge number, if he doesn’t conduct a detailed investigation to confirm it, he won’t worry about the reports of those officials and military officers, and don’t underestimate anyone’s courage, especially plundering the money of those mud legs.
Don’t put the money for buying people’s hearts into other people’s pockets, wasting his painstaking efforts in vain.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone to follow up!"
Luna nodded lightly, and agreed. She was not at ease with such a large sum of money. Even if the king didn't say it, she would propose it to the king.
"Well, you can talk to Adler Todd, after all, the money still has to go through the Royal Bank, communicate in advance, and let him pay attention!"
"Okay, I understand!" Luna agreed smartly, and stuck out her pink tongue mischievously. The original dignified director of the financial department of the royal family became a lovely maid.
Immediately, she sat obediently next to the young king, massaging the king's shoulders with a rough palm, with a flattering look.
"You are so busy these days! I haven't seen you for a week?"
Edward fell back, his head lay directly on top of those huge breasts, soft and extremely comfortable.
