ps2: I also thank "Feng Zhilin", "Stanner Xiaohuang", "Remaining Veteran Brigade" and "Romania Feiti" for the rewards, thank you very much!

The overall planning that Lane said is actually very simple, that is, after he ascends the throne, he will send bureaucrats to clear the land of the whole country, which are suitable for growing cash crops, which are suitable for growing food, and which are suitable for animal husbandry and orchards. Ensure that there is enough arable land to grow food.

Of course, he had to wait for him to become king before he could have this power.

"At the same time, I will also implement the regular open position system and set up storage warehouses all over the country. Usually, when the market price of grain is low, the grain price will be appropriately raised to carry out large-scale purchases, and when the market grain price will be high, the price will be appropriately lowered for sale. Ryan went on to say: "Everyone must have noticed recently that the price of food on the market is very high. That's because Wessen led a lot of losses in the Tamu Khan invasion. Therefore, we import food on a large scale from our side. You may wish to appropriate it." Sell ​​some stockpiles to the Empire."

Grain protection price and grain reserve system. After a brief description by Ryan, everyone will understand that the issue of grain is indeed an eternal topic. Previously, the subordination and private relationship between knight aristocrats and serfs determined the surplus of grain produced by serfs. All belong to the aristocracy. In this case, there is little relationship between grain and the market, but with the reform of Lane, the emergence of fixed tax and the conceivable contract system in the future means the emergence of commodity grain and the rise of commodity economy, so the old method Certainly no longer applicable, and the grain protection price and grain reserve system proposed by Ryan just solved this problem.

"As for everything else, I will also announce the abolition of the king's shield tax after I ascend the throne." Ryan calmly dropped another bombshell in the entire conference room.

"Wait, Ryan, you want to abolish... the king's shield tax?!" Francois opened his mouth in surprise: "Lane, do you know that as a king of knights, the most important thing is to pay for royal expenses and Curo Taxes on military expenses, do you plan to abolish the shield tax?"

"There is not much tax to be collected, and it doesn't matter if it is abolished. Also, the abolition of the shield tax I said is only for grain crops, cash crops, orchards, and animal husbandry is not among them." Lane said calmly: " To encourage grain planting, we must give some supportive policies. Historically, the king's shield tax has always been difficult to collect, and you must be aware of it."

Several dukes are a little embarrassed. This is the case with knights and nobles. The tithing of the fairies in the lake has always been paid in full or even more, but the king's shield tax is all kinds of prevarication, false reports, omissions, and tricks. When the matter was brought up, it was not convenient for everyone to answer.

François felt that he was happy in vain. The majority of his income in the Duchy of Winford was various cash crops, especially wine. As for the shield tax relief for food crops, he did not benefit much at all.

The old man can only recognize the benefits that Ryan's rise has brought to him.

"In the future, we will also have to unify tariffs and levy taxes in kind." Ryan continued: "But that will come later, and everything will be discussed after I am enthroned. For now, I can only say so much. What I want to stress is, Ladies and gentlemen, I have used many methods to ensure your interests and compensate for your losses, and please understand that the trend of the times and the course of history cannot be reversed."

"The empire on the opposite side of the mountain has completed its restructuring and has become the most powerful human kingdom in the old world. We, Britannia, must also follow in the footsteps, otherwise the end will be extinction. It is better to solve it from above than to overthrow it from below. The northern barbarians, chaos demons, greenskin tribes, beasts and undead are always coveting the land given to us by the goddess.

Several dukes nodded, this topic is a very sensitive topic, and it's enough to say it here.

"I also have a problem, Ryan, you know, the Duchy of Lyonnais is very difficult now, and we are not capable of implementing this policy." Now it was the Duke of Adaihad's turn, and the Duke of Lyonnais said anxiously: " The serfs will definitely not be able to buy this money now, and people in many places can’t get enough to eat or wear warm clothes, how can we promote this reform?”

"Don't worry, Adehad, we all know the situation of Leonace." Ryan quickly stopped Adehad's speech: "As we all know, the specific conditions of different principalities are different, we have to adapt to local conditions and combine local characteristics. Force it, forcefully plunder their property from the serfs."

"Yes, Adaihad, my suggestion to you is to reduce taxes, encourage serfs to go out and recover lost lands, send troops appropriately to recover those unclaimed lands, and eliminate bandits and rebel serfs." Francois also nodded. : "Don't think about serf redemption now. You have neither the conditions nor the foundation. You can't just see that we have gained a lot and want to keep up with it immediately."

"Okay, very good, you've always been like this, it's always been like this, when I took over Leonathay, the treasury and granary were empty enough to keep mice." Here, looking at the reforms and redemptions you are making, all of them are making a fortune. What about me? I can only watch! Francois, you let me cut taxes? You let me send the army? Where's the money? What about food? It's easy to say!"

"...Well, we all know the difficulties of Leonathay, and it's not that we didn't send someone to help you." Lawn took the initiative to speak, and the Kingdom Regent persuaded: "If Sirruf was here, he wouldn't either. In doing so, you and your Principality need to rest and not be forced to follow in our footsteps."

"..." Adaihad sighed lightly, and his voice was full of powerlessness: "I hope that Leonace will be able to reproduce a glorious day."

"Let's talk about it today." Ryan made a conclusion for the Duke's meeting: "Please go back and determine the amount of redemption according to the actual situation of your duchy. You must be careful about this number. Remember, the amount is too low. It will make it too easy for the serfs, and your interests will also be damaged. If the setting is too high, the serfs cannot afford so much money, which is equivalent to fooling them."

At the end of the duke meeting, a grand banquet was held in Ryan's duke castle that day. The dukes who had come from afar were entertained and toasted to a certain degree of consensus. With their support, plus Hubald, Duke of Carcassonne, and the dukes of Brittany finally had more than half of their support. Coupled with the Church of the Fairy in the Lake headed by Morgiana, Ryan has been able to truly master the country after he ascended the throne. .

After the banquet, Ryan, who had a few more drinks, sneaked into the castle's Surya courtyard.

There was no snow at night, and the winter night was very quiet. There were many kinds of irises and plucked pine trees in the courtyard of Surya. Ryan was walking alone in the courtyard of the castle. Looking up, the sky was full of stars, like pearls. Like handfuls of broken gold scattered on the black jade plate, it is so quiet and peaceful at the moment, the leaves are rustling.

Ryan suddenly felt tired.

Maybe no one understands how difficult it is to carry out a top-down reform in this world, in this world where there are true gods and evil gods. It is very likely that the entire kingdom will be buried.

Nobles, churches, businessmen, wizards, Ryan has done everything he can to achieve his ideals. Even so, he has spent more than ten years before he has a foundation sufficient for reform. Now he must carefully advance these , Compared to him being alone more than ten years ago, now he has a family, has his own power, and has a large group of subordinates.

Frigid, lonely, lonely, weak magic lights illuminate the paved road in the courtyard, where there is a statue of Suria, as well as a statue of Richter, her favorite mount, Lane. Slowly walking to the statue, looking at his wife's serious and glamorous figure holding a lance, she smiled warmly.

He now understands why many middle-aged men in the past gave people a "greasy" feeling. It was because these men had become smooth and sophisticated. They had too many burdens. They had families to support and relatives to support. Gu, there are friends to help, there are too many things to stop them from blood, stop them from acting impulsively, stop them from resisting and escaping.

Middle-aged greasy men can only endure, they can only keep their breaths low, they can only swallow their anger. This is something that young people cannot tolerate and cannot understand. After all, anyone can type on the keyboard, follow the coax, and follow the trend. The barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes. Dare to bully me ? I will kill your whole family!

The anger of a single man, blood splattered for five steps is like this. This is a practice that Shuangwen has read too much without considering any consequences. He only wants to be happy for a while, and it will cause endless troubles. It is irrational, but it is especially popular because he does Do what everyone wants to do but dare not do.

When the old King Richard took office, he was very beautiful. At that time, he liked to enter the mountains and forests to hunt tigers alone. The first thing after he ascended the throne was to join hands with Imric, the high elf Prince Caledor, to defeat the beastman frenzy near Curona. , Richard at that time was also so high-spirited and felt that he could do something for the kingdom, but when Ryan came to Britannia more than 20 years later, Richard had become that stubborn and refusal to change, The man who suppressed Ryan.

Has the times changed? No, no, times have not changed.

So why exactly?

you know.

Ryan has many shares, and he is the champion of the God's Choice hand-picked by the fairy in the lake. He has gone through untold hardships to finally take the first step of reform. He really has to sigh: I am too difficult, I have been under pressure recently. very large.

Just as Ryan was thinking about the statue of his wife, he felt footsteps coming from behind him: "Lane, what's the matter, why are you here, we are all looking for you."

It's Suria, today's female knight is wearing a classic black lace-up dress with ginger, sugar, wood grain and brown fragrance, wrapped in black velvet pantyhose, a pair of slender and well-proportioned black silk legs, and a pair of over-the-knee high-heeled boots. , the heroic and sassy temperament, and the faint smile and water-like gentleness on her delicate face, and her shining golden long curly hair shawls down.

As it was fourteen years ago, in Curona's rose garden.

The Duchess approached from behind, she gently hugged Ryan from behind, and wrapped her arms around Ryan's neck tenderly: "Lane, my husband, you have done enough, my father was still complimenting me just now. You, say that you have successfully accomplished what he never dared to imagine, and Lord Lawn also said that all they can do is to moderate the contradiction and try to be as fair as possible, only you have come up with a solution that can be accepted by everyone, you A miracle that the lady bestowed on Brittany."

"You're amazing, my husband, I'm so proud of you." Surya's voice was like a spring, flowing in Ryan's heart, nourishing his will, the Duchess's sea blue eyes were full of deep : "Don't push yourself too hard."

"Three to five generations." Ryan only felt that his chamber was filled with Suria's, and he turned around and embraced his wife.

"Huh?" Suria obviously didn't understand.

"My reforms can only benefit three to five generations at most, and then the whole society will gradually become silent again." Ryan sighed, he hugged his wife with a princess, and the couple sat in the courtyard. On the bench: "Just like the empire, the reforms of the savior Ludwig made the empire prosperous and ushered in the most glorious era, but one hundred and sixty years have passed, and wealth and land have passed through a short period of time. Circulation has returned to the hands of the nobles. The newly cultivated land cannot stop the plundering and expansion of the nobles. Neither Karl-Franz nor I can only suppress this trend by relying on royal power and personal prestige, but not May change, only reform again."

"What the lady said, Ryan, the kingship in this world is not eternal." After listening to Suria, she didn't care: "You have done everything you can do, and this is enough, you can bring the kingdom a hundred or two hundred years. Prosperity is already a great king."

"Hehe, yes, but you really don't need to think about what happens after three or five generations~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Ryan suddenly thought of something, and nodded in approval: "Thank you, Sulia, you have enlightened again. I. "

"I'm your wife, thank you." Surya leaned on her husband's shoulder, and the female knight suddenly felt that she had the whole world.

This is happiness.

The husband and wife kept quiet for a few minutes, and seeing that Ryan had recovered from fatigue and depression, Suria said in a low voice, "Lane, you have rested well recently, and prepared for the enthronement, and you also Take the time to see Ms. Veronica and see how she is doing, she has been in retreat for almost a year."

Unexpectedly, it is reasonable that the relationship between Sulia and Veronica is not bad. This is mainly because of Sulia's generosity and gentleness, and the result of Veronica's careful management. Teresa, who is not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, often avoids Suria, Veronica has always been very good at maintaining her relationship with Suria, and sometimes tries to get some rare gifts for the Duchess. If the two sides meet , Veronica, who is about to turn 40 this year, always obediently calls Surya in her early thirties "sister" or "madam", so the relationship between the two has always been good.

Only Ryan knows that Veronica has a clear position on herself. If Ryan is a tree in the sky, Veronica is a vine on the branch. She does not dare to lose Ryan's support and protection now. The shrewd Jialan The witch knows how to protect her own interests. As long as she serves Ryan well and makes Suria happy, she will be invincible, and no one can move her.

"In this way, I will go and see Veronica in a few days to see how she is doing." Ryan thought for a moment and agreed: "As for Teresa and Aurora...Suria, I need you to do me a favor."

"you say."
