Proof of the Sun King

"Not only do all nobles have to pay, but no one dares to play tricks." Ryan said meaningfully: "This kind of tax is paid voluntarily by everyone, and it is compulsory."

Alfred thought for a moment. He first thought about the special culture of the Kingdom of Knights, and then thought about the difference between the Empire and Brittany, and soon came up with the answer in his heart: "Could it be... the Lady of the Lake Church? tithe?"

"Haha~ That's right, it's the tithe of the Lady's Church." Ryan nodded again and again with a smile, looking at the sky: "This tax, no one dares to discount or evade tax, everyone is paying the tax seriously. From the family of the Duke of Bastogne, the direct descendant of the first knight king Arthur, down to the small nobles in the most remote Carcassonne Mountains, they all pay tithes steadily, so whether the entire kingdom is prosperous or declining, madam Church revenue won't be affected much."

"The Witch of the Lake God will use this money to train the Prophet of the Lake God and pay the maintenance fee for the Holy Grail Knights, build new shrines and churches, and at the same time give some relief to the disaster victims, because this is the lady's money and Madam supervision, no one dares to deceive or play tricks on this matter, as much as you should." Lane said softly: "Therefore, the whole of Britannia can persist for a thousand years."

"No one person or one church in the empire can do this." Alfred also sighed: "Even Emperor Karl Franz and Archbishop Wikma can't do it."

No way, I have only the country here in Greater Brittany, Ryan and Callard smiled at each other, Brittany lags behind the Empire in many places, but it doesn't mean that the whole country has no place to be. .

As far as the collection of church tithes is concerned, the Church of the Fairy in the Lake truly makes all nobles become conscious of themselves.

Unconsciously, Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, can directly bypass the royal court and attack the nobles. Not only can she unilaterally declare the abolition of the title of nobles, she can even directly turn knights into frogs, or send Holy Grail knights. Rush into the noble territory and take people away directly.

Because of this, the nobles sometimes not only pay tithe steadily, but sometimes pay extra to ensure that there will be no problems.

The same goes for the businessmen. Businessmen doing business in Brittany now know that the Church of the Fairy in the Lake cannot be offended. For example, Oliver, a subordinate of Ryan, donated a lot to the Church of the Fairy in the Lake. Oliver took the lead, and the merchants I also understand that you need to earn money and donate money, otherwise the goddess will not reason with you.

After the donation was fully paid and the tithing was paid in full, Ryan managed to "convinced" Morgiana and wrote a sign for the Oliver Chamber of Commerce "Taxing Glory". With this sign, the Oliver Chamber of Commerce was more convenient to deal with the nobles in the Knight Kingdom. .

To a certain extent, this is a type of tax-inclusive system. Of course, Ryan knows that the tax-inclusive system has many drawbacks, but there is no way. Before the Fairy Church in the Lake trains officials responsible for tax collection, it can only be transitioned in this way.

With the supervision of the goddess, there is no need to worry about the nobles and rich people trying to evade taxes all day long, so Ryan never dared and would not touch the tithes of the fairies in the lake, which meant that he reached out to his most solid basic plate. , also means losing the support of the goddess, but also means that without the supervision of the goddess, the nobles of the entire kingdom will no longer pay taxes honestly.

"The annual tithe is now a grand event." Callard said with a rare smile, and he said happily: "Carloads of grain are brought into the church and given to trustworthy people. The Holy Grail Knight or the Prophet of the Lake God will take care of them, they will store these grains, and they will take the initiative to provide relief to the disaster victims whenever they are not available or encounter a famine, and the serfs are at least guaranteed their lives.”

"In addition, our dwarf friends, the engineers of the Angrond clan, have undertaken a large number of water conservancy projects and irrigation projects. The serfs no longer need to go to the river to fetch water. Sometimes I really admire those dwarves." Then he said: "There are also advanced agricultural tools, which make farming much faster."

"Oh? Our Holy Grail Knight Lord Callard will also go to the countryside to see how the serfs live?" Ryan joked.

"I am also a person who has experienced the Holy Grail expedition, and it is not that I am ignorant of the suffering of the people." Callard shrugged with some dissatisfaction, he ignored his sleeves being wet by the rain, and emphasized: "I just don't know how to solve these problems. It has been thousands of years, and now you can appear, I am very happy, and I support you."

Ryan sighed softly, and looked at both sides of the Rick River: "What I did before was just to ease the contradiction between the nobles and the serfs, and I didn't fundamentally solve the kingdom's problems. "

"Well." Alfred agreed with this, and this is what the paladin and patriarch wanted to hear: "Good friend, tell me, how do you plan to completely solve the problem of serfdom in Brittany?"

"It is impossible to completely solve this." Ryan shook his head again and again, and he said helplessly: "Just like how to solve the problem of paying taxes for the rich, this is a problem in the world. Normally, as long as the wealth of the rich is With legal and reasonable income, there is no reason to force them to give their wealth to the poor, but at least I have figured out a way."

"What way?" Now both Alfred and Callard are interested.

"The serf household registration redemption system." Ryan raised his head.

"The serf household registration redemption system?" Alfred thought for a while: "You mean, serfs redeem their serf shares from their lords... by paying money to become free people?"

"It's basically like this." Ryan nodded, his watch did not change much: "Of course, I still need to discuss with Morgiana and the dukes on how to implement it, but this is necessary, and the only way is to let go. Only when the serfs ascend the stairs and ascend the channel can the productive forces be liberated.”

"At the same time, I'm going to promote knights from the old guards. In this battle of Noor, many old guards have made achievements. I plan to promote at least 30 old guards to become knights." Ryan stretched out his hand gently. Stroking the wooden railing wet by the rain, he said earnestly, "It's time, while this is the time, I want to set the rules as soon as possible."

"Well, the serfs participate in the conscription to become conscripts or semi-professional infantry, and then the soldiers are promoted to become sergeants, the elites are promoted to become old guards, and the outstanding ones of the old guards are promoted to be awarded the title of knight." With his goatee beard, he thought about it carefully and nodded again and again: "Good! Just because these soldiers have gone through hundreds of battles, the knights will not be particularly opposed. Your old guards have followed you in countless battles. You have a lot of achievements in battle, and you promote people from among them to become knights, and the opposition from the upper-class nobles of the kingdom will definitely not be loud, and you can also get the support of all the soldiers."

"You always think things through so well, good friend." Alfred thought about it carefully, and the paladin commander smiled brightly: "There is a way to join the nobles, and the serfs at least have pursuit."

"It's not that easy. I'll wait until I return to Musillon to hold the Duke Conference." Ryan shook his head: "By the way, Alfred, when are you going to marry that female Norsca?"

"Huh?!" Alfred was taken aback, and he said hesitantly: "Why suddenly... Suddenly speaking of this, Ingrid and I are innocent and nothing happened!"

"Nothing happened. You will always take her aside? And take her to see Archbishop Vicma?" Ryan joked with Alfred: "Don't lie to me, Alfred, I know you too well. already."

"Single means that I can reserve the right to pursue any type of lady." Alfred scratched his blond hair a little embarrassedly. , and look at it again after a while, his tangled look made Ryan and Callard both couldn't help laughing.

"And you, Callard!" Ryan immediately pointed his finger at Callard again: "The lady made you a Holy Grail Knight didn't make you a bachelor!"

"I'll go with the flow." Callard's smile froze on his face, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "After a series of things, it's hard for me to mention anything now."

"...But you're the only one left in your family's direct line. Someone must inherit your title, right?" Ryan only smiled bitterly after hearing this. Callard has indeed experienced a lot: "Let's not say anything else, Devoncie. You can't live without a godmother, can you?"

Callard can only agree: "I remember what Mr. Ryan said, and I will pay attention to it later."

"Well, that's good." Ryan could only persuade him like this, everyone was an adult.

"Go to rest early, Alfred, Callard."

"Yes!"

…………I am the dividing line of urging marriage…………

"Ryan Machado, kill, mine, God's Choice, champion! I can't bear it, I can't bear it!"

"He killed me too!"

"It's all your fault, it's all yours! If you hadn't sent Ku-Gaz to mess up my plan, I would have succeeded!"

"Shut up! It's all your fault!"

"I think what he did was pleasant, and the defeat was really interesting, especially when you idiots blame each other, tsk tsk, it's really intoxicating, let's do it a few more times, oh **** ho ho~"

"Go away, you junkie!"

In the chaotic realm, a fierce quarrel is breaking out.

Just like the never-ending battle in the realm of chaos, at this moment, Khorne's blood and fire demon army is attacking the strange crystal labyrinth under the leadership of Khorne's first big demon Kabanha, because the strange demon The army is attacking Nurgle's Rotten Garden under the leadership of Sassoril, the Eternal Watch of the Great Demon, and Nurgle's Rotten Garden is less powerful at this time because Nurgle's rotten plague army is attacking Slaanesh's rampant fortress. The army of Nie, led by the keeper of the secrets of Slaanesh, was fighting for a long time with the army of Nurgle in the Valley of Creation, with countless casualties on both sides.

And just when the subordinates were fighting, the four gods of chaos were discussing what to do next.

"Ryan Machado is a huge threat, we must eliminate this threat!"

"We should jointly bless an eternal god, let him lead our army to destroy the world!"

"Best, best wishes? This is so exciting!"

"Archaon? No, he is, indeed, a great champion, but he is not yet, reassuringly, and lacking, one thing." From Nurgle's realm, spewed spout after spout. Thick Mist: "I propose that my new God-chosen champion, Plague Doctor, Festus, come and take on this important task."

"No! Never! You can't even think about it!" A furious voice kept roaring: "I think Valkia has to do this important task! Only she can accomplish this great task!"

"Valkiya? Gou, who doesn't know she is your wife? The wife of the blood god?" A piercing scream shrieked: "I think it can only be chosen by my god, Cha-Zan. Ike can bring these foolish and cowardly southerners to the end!"

"Hmm~ It's really interesting, then I also propose that my God's Chosen Champion, Prince Sigwald, will be happy to accept this task, hee hee hee~"

After arguing for a long time in the Chaos Realm, the four voices have never been able to reach an agreement. Each of them recommends their own believers, their own divine choice, and disdain for other people's divine choice.

At this moment, the snarky voice suddenly realized something: "What?!"

"It's the pale queen! That coward!" The mature and charming voice with a strange tone is not surprising: "That coward can only do this all the time, sneak in sneakily~www.wuxiamtl.com~ steal a or two before I can react. The soul of an elf, and then run away like a lost dog, what a vile thief!"

"Humph!"

The voices of the quarrel in the chaotic space continued, and their voices gradually went away, away, and then it was a complete darkness, falling violently, falling madly in the endless space, covered with all twisted and crazy warp creations. end of sight.

"Huh!" The dark elf Olika woke up suddenly from her sleep. She was gasping for breath. Ryan's post maid only felt that her heart was beating very fast, and she still had a breath of air even when she was desperately breathing. A feeling of suffocation: "Hu~ha, huhu~huhu~"

Olika took a few deep breaths before she recovered her strength. She found herself lying on a soft big bed, wearing a white nightdress and a pair of white velvet suspenders on her legs. The elf's black hair dangled from his shoulders and back, and the dark elf found that his back was wet with sweat.

The amber eyes circled in the cabin, and the dark elf wondered where he was?

Gradually, memories came up, and she remembered that her master was already on her way back to Brittany. She was now in the cabin on the passenger ship, and she would arrive at Mousillon in about two weeks.

"Olica, what's the matter?" The awakening of the dark elf caught Ryan's attention. He hurried over, put his coat on Orika's delicate and smooth shoulders, put her in his arms, and caressed her lightly. Her back: "It's okay, with me here, is it a nightmare?"

"Master~" The dark elf leaned on Ryan's chest with some attachment, she took a deep breath to calm her heartbeat, and then quickly said: "No, master, what you have done has attracted the attention of the four gods of chaos. !"

"You're being watched!"
