[West Fantasy] The noble lady who was divorced became rich

"Will those civilians who have received compensation stay here, or leave the royal city and live in remote areas?" Lucius knew that the land price in the royal city was rising year by year, and the south lost part of it due to Cantero's attack. Therefore, for the harmonious development of various regions, Obstar must drive some people from the north or the royal city to the south.

As for how the word "catch up" becomes euphemistic and elegant, it depends on the policy given by Marianne and the minimum compensation that these civilians living here can accept.

"If they are willing to live in the south, they can get compensation first, and they can also reduce taxes." Mariana and Lucius strolled on the freshly cleaned streets, explaining to the latter: "Of course, to ensure that they will definitely go to The South, instead of talking nonsense, defrauding me of my compensation. Here in Obstar King City will only give them a token of compensation and travel expenses, and they will get money and tax reduction applications after they settle down in the South."

"Well! This is also a method." Lucius agreed with Mariana's idea. After all, the south of Obstar is close to Cantero. If there are not enough residents, then the logistical support and the recruitment of the border army will become a problem. Historic big question.

As for whether Obstar King City will lose all its talents due to this policy...

Mariana can only say that she has never seen such troubles in a super-first-tier city in her previous life. Even if the naturalization procedures in first-tier cities are difficult every year, and local policies spend tens of billions to retain young adults, they can't stop talents from all over the world from swarming. to first-tier cities.

If the country does not have a housing policy or a population drainage policy, then within a few years, the first-tier cities will become places where local civilians can't get a foothold in their lives, and this is what Mariana is worried about.

"In addition to buying these commercial streets, I also plan to confiscate some of the nobles' private houses and limit the number of times they can buy houses." Although there are also good people among the nobles, like the Minister of the Seal and Mrs. Christina, who work hard for the people and do things hard, but there is no lack of followers. The villain who ran amok like the previous kingdom and ate up subsidies.

Even in the army that has the highest favorability with Mariana, there are also moths.However, when they were awarded the reward, Marianna asked Botis to distinguish who is a good person and who is a great villain, so they were cleared out at once while all was wasted.

"Then how do you plan to settle the nobles who were sent as hostages?" Just like Louis XIV in the sixteenth century forced all the nobles to live in the Palace of Versailles in order to ensure the stability of his kingship; In order to control the local daimyo, their wives and children were required to live in Edo.In Obstar, Odin, or Cantero, there are similar policies.

It's just that there are too many local nobles, and there must be no room in the palace, so there are so many local tyrants who build houses in the royal city or buy land around them.

Of course, in order to maintain his prestige in the royal city and not let others look down on him, the maintenance fee just spent on the private houses in the royal city is an astronomical sum, not to mention that some people have more than one or two luxury houses under their names, so here The above annual expenditure is even more maddening.

"Clear out Uncle's other private house! Then use the family as a unit to limit the number of properties they have in the royal city." Mariana knew very well that even Mrs. Christina couldn't stand the useless expenses spent on it, and those Not to mention families whose economic conditions are so poor that they only live with a noble title.This is why Prudence said in "La Traviata" that even if a duke has a super high annual income of 50 francs, he cannot afford to support his expenses in Paris.

"Destroy waste directly from the policy, and then give priority to those with small families or poor economic conditions to provide palace accommodation." When Mariana was about to return home, she suddenly saw a ragged child of unknown gender stumbled He ran over quickly, then stretched out his hands to Mariana, and said innocently, "Can I give you something?"

Lucius looked down at the bony face, a gleam of sympathy in his eyes.

"Little friend, where are your parents?" Facing the child with sunken cheeks, Mariana squatted down, not caring about the stains on the other's body, and directly grabbed the other's hand and said, "Did they abandon you?"

After all, Mariana took out a towel and wiped off the stains on the other person's face, and then Lucius also squatted down and handed a piece of bread to the child: "Let's eat something first!"

Under Marianna's gentle wiping, the originally gender-neutral child showed a delicate face, obviously a pretty little girl.

When she took the bread from Lucius, she looked back with some hesitation, as if she wanted to turn around and leave, but Marianne held her hand, and it was difficult to get her wish.

"Little friend, where are your parents?" Marianna, who noticed the other party's movements, looked in the direction where the little girl was looking back, and saw two adults pretending to be doing things looking here intentionally or unintentionally, and it was difficult to hide the eyebrows and eyes deep anxiety.

And the little girl who was asked didn't expect Mariana's operation, so under the urging of Lucius, she gobbled up the bread while shaking her head and said, "I dare not say."

Although children don't have so many eyesight, they can also be keenly aware of danger.Especially when her parents are not far away, she knows what she can say and what she can do.

"If you can't say anything, let the nuns from the temple come and pick her up." Mariana knew very well that if she took the little girl to the palace, her parents would come to ask for money, so she could only let the nuns from the temple come. pick up.

Fortunately, after Mariana succeeded to the throne, the originally suppressed temple compensation was also distributed as promised, so the current economic situation of the temple is not so tense. Even when Mariana revisited the old place, she was so busy buying new clothes for the children. Then disassemble the old clothes into rags and make mops or small toys.

"Take her away!" Mariana rubbed the little girl's head, motioning for Lucian to lead her down.

And the two adults who were watching from a distance seemed to want to take their daughter back, but because Marianne was here, they temporarily suppressed this impulse.

"At this time, I am very fortunate that I have a mother who is still responsible." Regardless of how strong the desire for power is, the Grand Duke Aquiquie, even when Mariana was a child, she was exchanged as a pawn in the power game .But from the limited perspective of this era, is the Grand Duchess Aquique a good mother?

of course.

Because she has at least assumed the responsibility of childbearing, even if she is not close to her own children, she has never disliked them or denied their full value, but has devoted herself to cultivating them.Even Marianne and Lucius couldn't deny this, and even felt that the Grand Duchess Aquique was already a model of a good mother in a sense.

It's just that for the Grand Duchess Aquique, being a good mother is not the main goal in life. Even Marianne and Lucius are not qualified to make the Grand Duchess Aquique compromise.

"Being a parent doesn't have to take the test. This is undoubtedly the greatest tragedy." Mariana watched Lucian coax the little girl into the car, and began to think about children's rights and abandoned babies.

As we all know, the temple also has the function of a nursery, and it is backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade. It is almost half a nationally certified charity, so those who are born but not raised always like to abandon their babies at the gate of the temple.

It would be fine if it were a temple in a big city, or summer and autumn.If it is placed in a small place or in winter, it will often receive a mutilated baby corpse or a frozen baby corpse due to insufficient manpower in the temple or the infestation of wild animals. The personnel also left a shadow in their hearts, and even self-harmed because of it.

Although all countries have established a crime of abandonment, and the Cantero people have also established a moral inspection team for this purpose, this has not improved the status quo of child abandonment.

More reference is the adoption system of the Grand Duchy of Aquique.

The Grand Duchess Aquique announced that as long as someone is willing to pay to "adopt" those abandoned children, or donate a certain amount of materials to the temple, they can get a convenient way to climb up, or encouragement from the Papal State.

However, from Mariana's point of view, this policy is only useful temporarily, and it cannot last for a long time.

As for the one-size-fits-all abstinence like Cantero.

It can only be said that Mariana does not want to receive rotten eggs from the people.

"You said that if I legalize the contraceptive pill and abortion, the Pope will not directly remove me from power." After returning to the palace, Mariana closed the door and said something nonsensical to Abigail.

And Abigail, who had stepped on the trap in this regard before, said unceremoniously: "You will not be removed from power by the Papal State, but will be directly assassinated by conservative civil organizations."

Although the religious atmosphere in Obstar's country is not as serious as Cantero's, contraceptive pills and abortions are the minefields that must not be stepped on.

I remember that when the Northern Alliance sold contraceptives to some industries and civilians in order to reduce subsidies, members of the royal family and senior government officials from Transia to Zeeland were all attacked by civil organizations.

As for the Papal State, it was even a small fight with the Northern Alliance for three days, and a big fight for five days.

But even so, has the Papal State ever said that it would completely break with the Northern Alliance?

I believe those viewers know it well.

Facing Abigail's answer, Mariana brushed the broken hair on her forehead, and fell silent in a rare embarrassment.

"Maybe I'm too impatient."

Mariana knew very well that she could not fall out with the Papal States yet.Just letting those parents who do nothing to abandon their children is not the answer, so there must be a series of operations to protect the rights and interests of the children.
