The Sun Never Sets In Spain

The trial is just the beginning. Many nobles who have been sentenced to exile, ransacking, imprisoning and other punishments want to escape.

But Alfonso anticipated all this in advance and arranged the "Progressive Guard" to supervise the jurisdiction.

After a few days of execution of the judgment, only a few nobles escaped, and almost no property was brought out.

These nobles all escaped by bribing members of the guards, and these weak-willed players were eventually punished reasonably.

In short, the punishment this time was barely acceptable to the nobles at home and abroad. Although the sentence was harsher, the prisoners did indeed conspiracy to kill the king, and it was excusable.

After a few days, Enrique walked with wind, and his laughter almost never stopped, who was always more serious.

The family of the former governor alone, the Agramont family, copied more than 2 million pounds.

This is still based on the fact that Alfonso did not rush to kill, leaving some of their property and exile.

The total has not been calculated, but it will not be less than 10 million pounds.

"So we don't need to issue public bonds anymore. The original issuance plan was indefinitely shelved." At a small meeting, Enrique reported that with a smile, he still fulfilled his dream.

Alfonso shook his head. With the funds, there is no need to borrow again, but the 500,000 yuan of the Bourbon royal family will still be credited to the account on time.

The property of the nobles is mainly factories, manors, gold, jewelry, antique calligraphy and painting.

Gold was sent to Catalan vaults, and currency reforms will be implemented when enough gold is saved in the future.

Spain’s current gold and silver back-to-standard system is trapped by wars and import and export trade. The ratio of gold and silver exchanges fluctuates greatly, and there has been a serious phenomenon of bad money driving out good money.

The reform of the gold standard must be put on the agenda, and the lame standard must be implemented at the last time.

In addition to the fact that the gold cannot be moved at will, the factories and estates have to be kept in operation, and a large amount of money cannot be exchanged in a short period of time.

As for those luxury items, it may take several years to convert them into money, so Catalonia is still short of cash, and the Ministry of Finance is already planning to issue some additional currencies.

"Well, after we have the money, we will fight the army first. This time the Aragonese offense revealed that our problem is very serious." Alfonso said a little solemnly.

The surrounding Campos and even Enrique and others showed serious expressions.

The results of this local conflict are all in their eyes.

Since Catalonia was not in combat readiness before, soldiers, especially border soldiers that Garcia could not see, had neglected training to a serious extent.

Coupled with the lack of advanced weapons and artillery, there is no complete combat plan.

In just two and a half days of conflict, there was a 600 to 200 exchange ratio, which is 6 in Catalonia.

Everyone recognizes the crisis.

If it weren't for this time it was just a feint, the Carlos faction hadn't planned to break Catalonia, maybe the opponent had already hit outside the city.

Campos spoke to the crowd and said: "The checks and balances of the Prim government alone are extremely unstable, and our military strength must be raised.

The Armstrong guns will arrive in a few days, and the military can hurry up to sign rifle orders with France. "

This time it was Garcia’s deputy who came here for a small meeting, and the other side saluted:

"Guaranteed to complete the task."

Seeing that the atmosphere is dull because of military issues, he said

"Please rest assured, as long as the equipment problem is solved, our military will soon become stronger.

Through this trial, not only the rebellious nobles but also the source of troops were resolved.

Originally, the sources of soldiers were mainly workers and ordinary citizens, but now tenants can also be recruited at will. "

Alfonso nodded in agreement. With Catalan's industry, terrain, and location, as long as there is no interference from internal forces, the military potential will not be weak.

The population is slightly short, but the impact of the population on the industrialized countries is not particularly large.

The U.S. Army has been equipping Gatling this year, and it can go back and purchase a batch.

"I don't know what the manor is going to do? Is it distributed to the nobles of the Progressive Party? Or is it handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture?"

At this time, Minister of Agriculture Fidel interrupted his thinking.

Alfonso chuckled, "What do you think?"

"From a personal point of view, I naturally hope to divide it..." Fidel hesitated: "But it is better to manage it in a unified way.

A large part of the confiscated manor is in the Ebro River valley, all of which are connected to a large plain. "

Many of the people present at the meeting squirmed their lips twice, seeming to want to say something.

No one does not want to increase their wealth, and Alfonso does not blame them.

After all, generally speaking, in Europe, the property of such nobles who betrayed the monarch was divided between the monarch and the nobles who supported him.

Without giving them a chance to speak, Alfonso waved his hand: "Just do what you said, count them, and hand them over to the Ministry of Agriculture for unified management.

Just follow the model we planned before, hiring farmers and abolishing tenants.

In this way, we can make better use of manpower for farming during busy periods and working during idle periods. "

He originally planned to gradually abolish the tenants, but this is a lot more convenient.

…

During this time, the changes in Catalonia have spread throughout Europe, not only the Bonaparte family sent several letters to greet him about his situation.

Even Rudolf, who was as far away as Vienna, sent out his condolences and once again invited him to visit Vienna as a guest.

After thinking about it, the supermarket financing negotiations have been delayed for a long time.

It's time to go back to France.
