Magic Industry Empire

Vol 3 Chapter 164: Traffic jam

When I left the city government, it was close to noon. {

Xu also glanced at the sky and thought that he had just returned. Today’s lunch said that he would return to the Stars Manor to enjoy it with Steele. Then the rest of the time is not enough to visit some of the scheduled people. Had to go to the carriage and go to the Stars Manor.

As the body swayed back and forth along the road with the carriage, Xu also thought about the answer he had just received from Severini.

In theory, the private army owned by a nobleman can be infinite, because the Royal Parliament and the Royal Aristocratic Parliament have never had any special restrictions on this aspect.

Because if you carefully analyze the structure of the Kingdom of Lampari, you will find that the entire Kingdom of Lampari is actually composed of a large aristocracy.

The royal family is actually the most powerful aristocratic family in the kingdom.

The army owned by the royal family is also the strongest and strongest in the kingdom, so the royal family can always control the greatest power in the kingdom. The patriarch of the royal family can be the king of the kingdom.

If one day the royal family can't maintain this absolute advantage, then it is very likely that it will be overthrown by other big aristocratic families, thus changing the regime.

It should be said that this is not unusual in the history of the earth, but it is not as naked as it is in the Kingdom of Lampari.

On the entire Sainz continent, except for some small principalities and ultra-small kingdoms, all other countries, including the Candela Empire and the Marlow Empire, are basically this kind of political system, so Xu’s problem lies in It seems that Sevigny is not a problem at all.

Of course, the infinite aristocratic private army can only exist in theory.

First of all. It is also the most important issue. It is the cost investment.

I want to form my own private army. Of course, it is impossible to say that if you just want to get together and build a group of people, you can be considered a private army.

For the army, there is no fighting power, and that is the rabble.

If you want to have combat power, the first one must have enough quality soldiers.

The population of the Kingdom of Lampari has not been much, and the living conditions have not been very good. Therefore, the physical quality is qualified, and the number of candidates who can serve as soldiers is not sufficient, resulting in a small number of troops in the Kingdom of Lampari. Even the most powerful town of the Northern Army, it is only more than 30,000 people.

The second one is adequate logistics.

In addition to their own qualities, a qualified soldier must possess weapons and equipment to form combat effectiveness.

And to ensure that this soldier has such combat power, must also have the corresponding supply, at least let the soldier can eat full stomach.

The investment cost on this is undoubtedly very scary.

The current kings of the Lampari Kingdom are only about 50,000 in total, but each year the kingdom's financial investment in military spending must be at least 300,000 gold coins.

And such investment is still extremely low.

Not only is it far less than the Sark Kingdom, but even a few small countries around. For example, the Principality of Drake is very different.

No way, the Kingdom of Lampari was so poor before.

so. To have an unlimited private army, you must first have unlimited capital investment.

This is of course impossible. Therefore, even in the Kingdom of Lampari, even the most powerful Stark family except the royal family, the private army on the bright side is only 3,000 people.

Of course, in fact, there are not many accurate answers to the number of private soldiers in the Stark family.

But even if you make the most daring calculations, it is about 5,000.

Because even if the Stark family is willing to invest, it will also involve another very important issue besides the cost input, that is, the suppression from the royal family.

Since the political system of the Kingdom of Lampari determines that the royal family must be the most powerful family, then in order to maintain this advantage, the royal family will of course strictly limit the private army owned by other nobles in the kingdom.

Despite being limited to the unwritten agreement between the nobility and the traditions of the Sains continent, the royal family could not force the aristocratic parliament to pass a resolution that clearly defined the private army owned by the nobility in the kingdom, but as the family that holds the greatest power in the kingdom. The royal family certainly has countless ways to do this.

For example, Lampari XIII once issued an order to protect the kingdom and asked the major aristocrats in the kingdom to send a certain proportion of private troops under their own name to the Zhenbei Army to fight against the Sark Kingdom.

The proportion of casualties in the Zhenbei Army is very high. If the private army is sent in proportion, then obviously the more private troops, the greater the losses suffered by their families.

Then, in conjunction with the other series of restrictions of the royal family, the nobility in the Kingdom of Lampari gradually stabilized the number of private troops under his name.

A large family of three thousand, like the Stark family, is already the highest standard in the kingdom.

The famous big family in other kingdoms, the private army is probably about two thousand.

And the viscount of such a district like Xu...

Want to have a private army? Are you crazy?

Xu is certainly not crazy, and Servini naturally does not think so.

She is very clear about the meaning of Xu's hidden question. So after giving Xu a detailed analysis of the situation of the aristocratic private army in the Kingdom of Lampari, he gave him a suggestion.

It is best not to declare directly that you want to have a private army, but at most you can recruit hundreds of guards in the name of the territorial guards.

Although this will still attract the attention of countless people, but at the very least, it can be regarded as the usual practice of many aristocrats in the kingdom.

Xu also readily accepted the proposal of Servini, but only a few hundred people are not enough in his opinion.

When it’s really necessary, hundreds of people can’t do anything at all.

Moreover, the new Feishang Chamber does not need to worry about the cost of many aristocratic headaches, plus the arms of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce can be assets, so in fact Xu can fully support a private army far beyond hundreds of people.

And to avoid the suppression of the royal family, in fact, there are also many solutions.

Of course, these do not need to talk to Sevigny.

Not long after the carriage drove out of the Xicheng Gate in the old city of Bangta City, it suddenly stopped slowing down.

“Is there anything?” Xu also asked the driver who drove in front.

"The president is an adult, there is a traffic jam."

"Car jam?" Hearing this familiar term on the earth, he came to the world but was very strange, Xu Yi suddenly stopped.

When I opened the front curtain of the carriage, I looked forward and found that the road ahead was blocked.

Originally, the road was eight meters wide enough to accommodate four carriages side by side, but now it is doped with some medium-sized magic passenger cars and several medium-sized cargo magic locomotives that should go to the rainy valley, which makes the road crowded. less.

There seemed to be an accident in the front. It was far from the sight that two carriages fell across the ground and heard loud noises coming from the front.

Seeing the anxious expressions of people waiting for traffic jams around, and hearing the opinions of the surrounding people, Xu also could not help but laugh.

This scene is really too much for him to miss.

"Bell, old man, is there a traffic jam here?" Xu asked his own private coachman.

"There was not much in the past, and there will be more in the second half of this year." Bell, the old man answered, suddenly stunned Xu Yi. "The president, adults, to be honest, is only after the magic locomotives of our Chamber of Commerce began to sell, and then often traffic jams, many people are smashing us when they are in traffic jams."

Xu Yi haha ​​laughed: "They will adapt to this situation sooner or later."

Looked up and looked at the situation in front of it did not seem to improve, then look at the more and more blocked cars behind, and even has to extend to the distant city gate, Xu also remembered that the world can be sent without traffic police to maintain Order to ensure traffic.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu also added a wind-proof technique to himself, flying over the top of the blocked carriage and the magic locomotive.

At the sight of the accident flying to the front, it was found that there should be a collision between a medium-sized cargo magic locomotive and two carriages.

Both carriages fell to the ground at this time, and one of them, even a pair of images that were about to fall apart, was obviously not hit.

The medium-sized cargo magic locomotive was completely set up on the side without any trace of damage.

The eyes swept over a few people who were arguing, and Xu also found an acquaintance.

"Sacchi, old man, you, what is going on?"

Sakchi always looked at Xu Yi who had fallen from the sky, and his face passed a trace of joy.

"Hui Huichang, how come you came? I just came back from the city of Karamay. You see, this car is still the goods of your new flying business association. It is going to be transported to the rainy valley. I didn't expect to go. Here, it happened to be hit by them."

Xu Yishun looked in the direction of Sakchi's old man's fingers, recognizing that these arguing with the old Sakchi are all small aristocrats in Bangta City. It is no wonder that they can have a private carriage that looks good.

Seeing Xu also looked at the eyes of the consultation, several small aristocrats immediately screamed.

"Hui Huichang, you don't listen to him nonsense! We obviously walked on the road well, and he just ran into it. You see, our carriages are almost smashed! We have been affected by several others. Is it hurt, can this be our fault?"

"It's not your fault. Who is going to make your carriage run and twist, and run so fast on this road. I see if your horse is crazy?" Sergeant Sergeant immediately retorted.

A few little nobles looked at each other, but they still yelled at the neck: "I see you are crazy! Our horse and carriage are used at home for more than ten years. How could it not come out this year without you? What magic locomotive is easy to use? You..."

When a few small aristocrats spoke, it was only when Xu thought that they were right next to them. They dared to say the bad things about the magic locomotive in the face of Xu Yi. Isn’t that looking for death?

Turning his head and seeing Xu also his face sinking, several people suddenly felt horrified. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
