Chapter 1388 (1/2)
To compensate the city people who had suffered the damage caused by the scum army, they emptied all their baggage.
If we only talk to the people of Orleans about the national and national interests, and try to use these two kinds of interests to arouse the people's fighting spirit and let the people participate in the upcoming city defense war, there is a real opportunity to raise the fighting spirit of some hot-blooded people in Orleans.
But it will only arouse a small number of hot-blooded people.
Relying solely on the illusory things of national and national righteousness, there is no way to stimulate the fighting spirit of most of the citizens of Orleans and make them willing to sacrifice their lives to accompany you to live and die together.
If you want to arouse their fighting spirit, the best way is to talk to them about money.
As long as enough money is given, countless city people will be willing to turn into brave soldiers who are not afraid of death and fight the britannians until they die.
But now the question arises - where does the money come from?
In order to compensate the citizens who were cheated by the corrupt army last year, they have emptied all their money from their luggage.
If there is no money, it is impossible to rely on money to arouse the fighting spirit of the city people and let the city people help them defend the city.
If you directly ask the central government for money, whether the central government is willing to give this money or not is another matter. After all, the person in power at present is Bella.
Even if you are willing to give this sum of money, when the money is approved, I don't know when it will come.
In order to get the money quickly, Denis sent three of his guards to his home in Tuli last night.
His three guards have only one task - to sell all the valuable things in his family.
Including all the honors and rewards he received in his military life in recent decades, such as the medal of honor he received when he was young, such as the sword given to him by the former Emperor.
These honorary gifts are the most valuable things in Denis's family. Tulido are rich and aristocrats who are interested in this rare thing.
So don't worry about the seller.
These are the honors that Denis has won through his blood, sweat and tears for decades.
Just - sell them like this - Denny naturally doesn't give up in every way.
But he had to sell.
Because Denny had calculated that he had to sell the most valuable honors in his family in order to get enough money.
Tuli was very close to Orleans. Before the British army came to the city, the three close guards of Denis came back with the money from selling all his family property - this should still be possible.
When he learned that Denis was going to sell all his property to raise money, Rocher immediately expressed his opposition.
Although Rochelle is the eldest son of Duke valoa, he is still not in charge of the family. The current Duke of valoa has a strict family education and will not spoil Rochelle and give Rochelle too much money because Rochelle is the eldest son.
So Rocher doesn't have much valuable personal belongings.
But after all, he is also a general with a long military service. If he takes out the military pay he has saved for many years and sells some valuable personal items, he can still get a certain amount of money.
When Rochelle suggested that he also wanted to sell his family property to reduce the pressure on Denis, Denis smiled and patted Rochelle on the shoulder:
”You are still young. There are still many places where you need money in the future. Keep your property.”
No matter what Rocher said or advised, Denis was unmoved and insisted that he should be responsible for raising all the money and not let everyone including Rocher help.
......
......
Denise looked at Rochelle, who was holding his hands tightly, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
”It's just some trivial things. It's not a sacrifice.”
