The Sun King's Evidence

…………The above is abbreviated…………

Imperial calendar year 2515, mid-May, north shore of Kislev Bay, Sea of ​​Claws.

An ordinary passenger ship was slowly heading north under the thick fog.

Our King of Knights woke up from his dream, and he immediately felt something pressing on him.

It was Morgiana. She hugged Ryan's neck tightly and refused to let go. Ryan tried to push, but found that he couldn't push, so he could only continue to lie down with a wry smile. Ryan himself was indeed a little tired. If it was He could still deal with Morgiana one-on-one, but the addition of the Lake Fairy gave him no time to breathe.

This was very difficult to handle. Thinking that he would have to deal with the goddess and her number one choice day and night at the same time, Ryan felt that his face was turning green.

"Ah, dear, are you awake?" Ryan felt that his legs were weak, his waist was numb, and the spiritual energy in his body was empty, a charming and gentle voice came from another place in the room.

I saw the fairy in the lake wearing a set of Isa's fantasy dress with pearls and silver accessories, a plush waistcoat on the outside, a full set of platinum jewelry given by the emperor, and plush fox cotton slippers under the dress. Beautiful feet wrapped in black velvet ultra-thin pantyhose.

The goddess's hands were burning with the spiritual fire that belonged to Ryan, and she was making breakfast with the flames easily.

Ryan noticed that she was making soft-boiled eggs. The goddess gently used psychic fire to boil the water, put in the eggs, and after boiling for a few minutes, picked up the eggs, then took out a knife, cracked the eggshells, and added With a little salt and pepper, delicious soft-boiled eggs are ready.

Several maple croissants spread with butter, three cups of hot Arabica coffee, three pieces of lamb tripe stuffed with meat and a few slices of grilled bacon, a jar of Ulthuan jam and mashed potatoes were already on the table. Finished.

"It smells so good." Ryan couldn't help but praise. The Gray Knight Primarch finally truly relaxed. He stretched out his arms to rest behind his head in enjoyment.

In the warm morning, there were still people making breakfast for him, there were no major military and political matters and there was no need to get up in a hurry, and with the warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms, Ryan thought to himself that the so-called life was nothing more than this.

"Get up when you wake up. I've prepared breakfast." The fairy in the lake smiled slyly: "Or are you too soft to stand up?"

"Don't underestimate me!" Sure enough, even though Ryan knew that Lilith was deliberately provoking, he still fell for it. After all, men really can't give in to this kind of thing. The King of Knights gently tried to push away the entanglement. Morgiana was in her body, but Morgiana was awakened by Ryan's action: "Ugh~ Is it morning? What time is it? Ryan?"

"I don't know either, but it's time to get up, Morgiana." Ryan patted the Lake God Witch on the shoulder.

"Hmm~" Morgiana actually wanted to be gentle with Ryan for a while longer. She only felt that the front was sore and numb, and the back was also sore and numb. Then she saw the smiling expression of the fairy in the lake and recalled some memories. She wished she could hide under the quilt and not come out.

"Get up, how long do you want to hang on to Ryan? Morgiana!" The Lake Fairy said angrily: "It's time to have breakfast, and then we still have many things to discuss."

"Yes." Morgiana could only struggle to get up.

Fifteen minutes later, the Lake God Witch put on a pleated dress with slightly see-through ties, paired with a pair of white pointe transparent pantyhose and a pair of pink bow-tie high heels. The three of them sat at the table to have breakfast together. .

"This trip to Dulong City is not in the official name." Ryan explained his plan to the Lake Fairy and the Lake God Witch: "If it is in the name of official trade, then the Queen can find a way to interfere with our trade. opportunity, because no matter what, Erengrad is still her territory in name, and if we use the official banner, then she can stand up to accuse and interfere in this exchange."

"So we can't visit in the name of the official and Erengrad. I can only spread the news to the whole city through the soldiers of Erengrad's Guards. Everyone knows that I went to negotiate with Dulong City. Only It can be like this." Ryan tasted the maple sugar croissant made by the Lake Fairy himself, and the King of Knights smiled helplessly: "There is no other way, we must be careful."

"Is this matter so troublesome?" Morgiana's whole body went limp. After listening to Ryan's words, the Lake God Witch gently tapped her plate with a spoon: "If everything is controlled by Katalin and her Romanov family, then what’s the point of us regaining Erengrad?”

"You can't say that." The fairy in the lake shook her head. The goddess just watched Ryan and Morgiana eat. She only ate a little fruit: "No matter how you say it, no matter how good Ryan is, he is still the King of Knights of Britannia. No matter how bad Katalin is, she is still Kislev's own czar. If Ryan wants to take over Erengrad or even Kislev as the King of Knights, even if he is fair, even if he has high prestige and is good at fighting. , there are still very few Mrs. Keesler who would agree with him as a ruler."

"Not to mention the Boye nobles who have been favored by the Romanov family for generations." Ryan nodded. As soon as he picked up the coffee, the fairy in the lake personally gave him a sugar cube. The King of Knights smiled slightly and took it: "Actually We have given a lot of favors to civilians and refugees, but according to the survey, in addition to being grateful to us, the civilians still want to stay in their hometown... This is normal, after all, they are going to a completely different place. , the climate, environment, cultural customs, and eating habits all have to be restarted from scratch, and most people are unwilling to do so."

Ryan still has something to say, that is, in an economic sense, the forcible annexation of Erengrad is not worth the gain. It is very troublesome to explain this issue in detail. Here is a simple and general metaphor, that is, a territory has its benefits and benefits. In terms of management costs, for example, if the total revenue from a territory is 10 yuan and the administrative cost is 5 yuan, then there is no doubt that this piece of land should be absorbed.

If the income is 10 yuan, but the administrative cost is 10, 11, or 12 yuan, then considering its strategic position and border defense role, it is okay to extract some income from other profit-producing provinces to maintain its rule.

However, what if the administrative cost is 15 yuan, 20 yuan, 30 yuan or even 50 yuan?

At this time, in fact, this territory should be thrown away, because it will bring a heavy burden to the country. For Kislev, who has different nationalities, different cultures, and different beliefs, the management costs after Ryan takes over It will be pushed to a very high level, and it also involves a topic, that is, "national self-determination", which will not be discussed here.

So, why did Lao Zhu, the leader of the Ming Dynasty, create a bunch of "countries without conquest"? Instead of continuing to expand? Didn't Lao Zhu know that with the powerful army he led at that time, a large circle of countries around him could not possibly be their opponent?

You can win the battle, but so what? After the occupation, the extremely high administrative costs and pitifully low profits will only drain the finances. This is the way to subjugate the country. A typical example is Zhu Di establishing the Annan Chief Secretary. In more than ten years, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of millions of taels of silver have been lost. When I call in, I will throw it away if something small happens.

Then some people must say that it is not easy. I can enfeoff it and give it to my subordinates. They can take care of themselves. If they are a foreign country and have complete autonomy, I can be the leader and suzerain.

Brother, do you think you are playing a game? Playing Europa Universalis? You have complete autonomy, your financial, military, and personnel rights are all yours, so why should you listen to your central court? This kind of sealing based on personal loyalty generally cannot last for three generations. Even the King of Sai system created by Lao Zhu did not last for one generation! When Zhu Yunwen wanted to take back his autonomy, Zhu Di directly opposed it. They were still members of the same royal family.

Therefore, Lao Zhu’s tribute system was the most appropriate system at that time. For such a talented and resourceful person as Lao Zhu, was it because he was not up to par or because others were not up to par?

Therefore, for Ehrenglad, Ryan's idea is also relatively close. Ehrenglad is governed by Mrs. Keesler herself. I neither interfere in internal affairs nor make any appointments. I only guarantee my economic interests. This can Minimize local resistance.

But the limitation lies here. No matter how you say it, Erengrad is too far away from Britannia.

"Forgetting the Tsar means you have no conscience, and welcoming the Tsar back means you have no brains. This is the only way we can deal with Erlengrad's affairs for the time being." Ryan concluded.

"As long as you have an idea." The fairy in the lake nodded slightly. Morgiana didn't understand things like internal affairs, so she could only eat in silence.

The hearty breakfast was quickly finished, and the atmosphere in the room gradually began to become weird.

The fairy in the lake said to Ryan with a half-smile: "How is it, my dear, how about the breakfast I made?"

"It's very rich and delicious, my lady." Ryan took out a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "I like it very much."

"I like it very much? Is it true? You didn't lie to me?" The fairy in the lake picked up her flower fan. She glanced at Morgiana with a smile and became excited: "I know, Morgiana is also very good at it. Food, do you think it’s me who cooks better, or she who cooks better?”

"???!!" Morgiana immediately became excited when she heard this. She stopped drinking coffee and also set her sights on Ryan: "Yes, Ryan, you think my cooking is delicious, Or does the lady cook delicious food?”

"Who do you choose?" The goddess and her first choice pressed towards Ryan at the same time.

Why did this happen all of a sudden? Ryan's forehead suddenly became sweaty, and the King of Knights thought that this was wrong! Why are you suddenly targeting me?

After thinking about it, Ryan could only quickly say with a smile: "You guys, each has its own advantages. For example, the lady is better at making pastries, desserts and breakfast, while Morgiana is better at cooking dinners and traditional dishes. , each has its advantages, each has its advantages...hehehehe~"

"What do you mean, each has its own merits?" The fairy in the lake quit. The goddess put her hands on her hips and swayed her proud figure up and down with amazing momentum: "It sounds like I don't know how to cook dinner, and Morgiana doesn't seem like she knows how to make desserts. Same as breakfast? Come on, who do you think does it better?"

"That's right, Ryan, I've made breakfast for you so many times, have you forgotten?" Morgiana also stood up, she quickly pressed down on her skirt with some shyness, and also gathered momentum: "Of course , Madam, she did a good job, but I...but I didn’t do a bad job, right? No, you must give an answer today!"

"Uh..." Ryan was forced into a dilemma, and the King of Knights pretended that something was wrong: "Oh, I'm in a hurry, I need to go to the toilet!"

"Don't go!" The Lake Fairy and the Lake God Witch held Ryan's arms on the left and right, and pulled in the opposite direction at the same time. The goddess was menacing and a little embarrassed and threatening. Morgiana was a little guilty but full of expectations. Both women stared at Ryan, waiting for his answer: "You can't leave until you tell me!"

"If I don't tell you, don't even think about getting out of bed today!"

Being stared at by wolf-like eyes, Ryan knew that he couldn't run away today. The King of Knights turned green and could only use a delaying strategy: "Well, I need some time to think about it. Can you give me some time?"

"I'll give you two minutes, just think here and don't go anywhere!" The Lake Fairy held down Ryan, and Morgiana sat directly on Ryan's lap: "There must be an answer today, Ryan."

"Um..." Ryan thought about it, looking at the menacing look of the Lake Fairy and Morgiana's determined expression, he could only pretend to think, while at the same time he was running through countless thoughts in his mind, weighing the pros and cons.

"Well, I think..." Ryan finally said hesitantly: "I mean, I always eat more delicacies made by Morgiana, and less works by ladies... I mean, according to Judging from the experience we have so far, when it comes to cooking, it’s still... well, Morgiana can cook more dishes and make them richer, right?”

The goddess's face turned dark instantly, and the Lake Fairy really wanted to pour coffee directly on Ryan's face! As a god, a goddess worshiped and admired by countless people, she personally made breakfast for her husband, but the husband still thought that his first-in-law’s eldest daughter tasted better? Isn't this a slap in her face?

You should be extremely grateful that this goddess can cook for you personally, okay?

As for Morgiana, her cheeks suddenly flew away. The Lake God Witch felt bursts of sadness and joy in her heart. She spent several years studying and pondering cooking skills. Her persistence for more than ten years was not in vain. She hugged her excitedly. Ryan's neck was directly covered with a fiery kiss, blocking Ryan's mouth.

After finally giving an answer, the big-headed Knight King Ryan quickly said that he wanted to ask Little Thorgreen about Dulong City, and ran away on the spot. Only the Lake Fairy and the Lake God Witch were left in the room.

Morgiana's face turned red and she covered her chest with her hands, feeling full of happiness.

The Fairy in the Lake was filled with black energy behind her. She slapped the table and said rudely to Morgiana: "Morgiana, are you great? Have you forgotten something? Kneel down. !”

"Madam, I will always be grateful and will never forget what you have given me." Morgiana could only kneel down. She said unwillingly: "But, madam, it is obvious that I have been with Ryan longer! When I was injured, During that time, and for a long time after that, I was always with him, cooking for him, and I took care of him when he was injured. He thought I was better... and it was not unreasonable."

"Are you showing off to me?" The fairy in the lake was so angry that she put her hands on her hips: "If I hadn't been able to appear in the mortal world often, do you think you would have a chance? Do you know what you are doing? Mo Jaina, do you believe that I can take back your power and prevent you from seeing Ryan again in this life?"

"Um...ma'am, you can't do this!" Morgiana could only plead in a low voice: "You promised."

"Huh, yes, I promised you. You only dare to go against me because of Ryan's favor and my promise, right?" The fairy in the lake could only twitch her lips. She naturally knew that she couldn't really kill Moji. Anna is useless, and she doesn't want Ryan to be unhappy.

So how can we make Ryan happy and punish Morgiana at the same time? The goddess thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She took out a small jar of plaster and a small razor. The razor reflected bright light: "It seems that I have to carry out the necessary punishment! Let you know who is the master. .”

"No! Madam, you can't do this!" Morgiana's face instantly turned red when she saw Little Razor.

The fairy in the lake chanted magic directly to her first choice of god, and the light of the lake god illuminated the entire interior of the passenger ship.

"Well..." Morgiana was imprisoned by the magic of the Lake Fairy. She was blindfolded and her mouth was gagged.

"Don't you like to wear only pantyhose? Let me do you a little favor!"
