The Sun King's Evidence

The Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition yielded a total of one million dwarf gold coins, five thousand sets of dwarf finely crafted vibranium rune plate armor (which can be used by humans with a few modifications), twenty boxes of rare treasures, ancient books and a large number of precious cultural relics. It even includes human records from 2,500 years ago in the empire’s history, including more than ten tons of vibranium, several tons of mithril, and several tons of meteorite!

Everyone was coveting this wealth, and Lane did not disappoint everyone. After a brief welcome and banquet, Lane immediately ordered all the Dukes to gather in the conference hall of Bordeaux Castle and start dividing the wealth.

The total of one million dwarf gold coins converted into human gold coins is approximately 2.57 million gold crowns, which Ryan divided.

Four hundred and eighty-eight thousand, seven hundred and thirty-one-five gold crowns will be used to repay the Bafengshan National Debt. The Bafengshan National Debt has been sold for five issues. The first issue has been repaid. Ryan must pay out the subsequent issues. Part of the money is used to repay the national debt, and these are military expenses, which have been spent on the road.

A small part should also be allocated for post-war rewards and pensions. This expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountains suffered heavy losses, not counting Belega's army, plus the reinforcements after Francois, the Eight Peaks Mountains Great Expedition to Britta A total of 50,000 people, including the Knights of Nia army and various mercenaries, participated in the Great Expedition. Only about 20,000 people were able to return to Britannia alive. The rewards for 20,000 people and the rewards for 30,000 people were Pensions must be paid on time.

Then, the dukes will also share the profits according to the proportion of troops they send. Ryan will pay them a total of about 520,000 war bonuses. Among them, Francois's Duchy of Winford sends the most troops and is the most elite. and personally led troops to participate in the war and got the highest share, followed by the Duchy of Bastogne, which dispatched a whole team of Holy Grail Knights, and the Duchy of Bordeaux, which let his legitimate son lead the army to participate, and the one who got the lowest share of profit was Le-Angou. In the Principality of Lang, since Duke Taubot did not agree with this great expedition, the troops sent would be relatively small, and he received the least.

Ryan said that about half of the money will be sent out first, and the remaining part will be saved by the king for you first, and deposited in the Royal Bank of Britannia that will be established soon. Large deposits will earn interest.

The remaining approximately 1.15 million gold crowns are directly controlled by Ryan. In theory, this money is the kingdom's money, but Ryan obviously has the right to control the money, and he also plans to deposit the money in the royal family first. In the bank, we were discussing how to spend it.

Of course, the pension must be paid in full, but the king also suggested that you can make an appropriate deposit. As for the reward, you should save it first. The king said that you can receive it at any time. The army previously captured Skarsnik's treasure house and the headhunter Quick's treasure house. Collecting, everyone got a lot of seizures, and the final reward was not that important.

On this point, everyone agrees that investing so much money into the market at once can easily cause hyperinflation. Appropriate inflation is conducive to stimulating consumption and improving national living standards. Hyperinflation can easily trigger a series of social problems. question.

Ryan also divided about one-third of the 5,000 sets of dwarf finely crafted vibranium rune plate armor, promising to give it to the dwarf rune master Deron Feinson for transformation, and distribute it to the Dukes according to the proportion of troops and their eliteness. .

Twenty boxes of rare treasures, ancient books and a large number of precious cultural relics are not shared by everyone. Ryan has to put these things away and study them himself.

At the meeting site, everyone was smiling. The dukes had gained substantial profits from this war, and military expenses and pensions were borne by the kingdom. Therefore, every noble present showed a satisfied smile.

But there is no free lunch in the world. After Ryan profited from the Great Expedition and brought huge dividends, the king immediately issued a new reform order.

The king requested to reform the court system. The King of Knights will take over the local legal interpretation and judicial power to himself. The Church of the Fairy of the Lake will cooperate with the Church of Valenna, the goddess of justice, to send circuit judges and establish a new principality court. The Dukes are now They can only provide opinions as moderator and jury, but can no longer conduct trials themselves.

At the same time, the king also demanded the unification of tariffs and the establishment of a new currency tax system. Local dukes must unify tariffs and abolish various privately imposed exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and gradually establish a new currency tax system.

The king also requested that the privileges of the nobility be revoked. Lane ordered that if a knight family failed to provide knights for the kingdom and ladies for more than four generations or send enough troops to participate in the battle to defend the country, unless there were special reasons, they would be uniformly confiscated and confiscated. The title of noble is reduced to freemen. They still have a chance to regain the title of knight in one generation. If they still can't, they will always be freemen.

Being incompetent and occupying the country's resources in vain to support a group of losers is a crime and you are not worthy of being a noble.

The king's announcement caused shock among the Britannian nobles in the entire conference room. This was obviously a sign that Ryan was going to further take over power. But now the king's prestige was at its peak, and every word he spoke was absolute authority. The Dukes simply did not care. Dare to fall out with him, even many Dukes know in their hearts, let alone falling out, they don't even have the ability to resist.

As long as they dare to oppose the king's decision, they will be in chaos without waiting for Ryan's suppression. Ryan's reforms have benefited everyone from the nobles to the serfs. The knights, nobles and serf infantry regiments under their command have regarded Ryan as The object of surrender for the great man sent from heaven and all the people, are you trying to object now?

Without Ryan opening his mouth, they would be overthrown by his men first.

"I think His Majesty the King's decision is a good one! I think everyone knows that Britannia's laws are often artificially misinterpreted or deliberately tampered with to serve the interests of some people. This is wrong and incompatible. The lady’s expectations are just right. You must have faced many headaches and judgments and meaningless time-wasting trials. In this case, why not just leave it to the king and the lady, as well as the Church of the Just Lady, how about it?" Francois was the first to stand up to support his son-in-law. His father-in-law had a clear stance: "I agree, and the Principality of Winford will support the king's will."

"And I, the Principality of Bastogne will support the king's will!" Then the Red Dragon Duke Bohemond also stood up immediately. Bohemond was already tired of these things. He was really not good at it. Participate in trials or adjudicate some disputes. When he heard the news, the Duke was overjoyed. He thought that someone finally helped me deal with these troubles. Coupled with a series of good relationships with Ryan, he immediately stood on Ryan's side. .

"Agreed." Duke Bodrick also responded quickly, but he said to Ryan: "Your Majesty the King, I have a suggestion."

"Say." Ryan nodded slightly. The king's aura was astonishing. With the power of victory in the Great Expedition, he must take this opportunity to set the rules.

“I think it is important not only for the participation of the Ladies’ Church and the Church of Goddess of Justice, but also the participation of local churches, such as the Church of Justice in Montfort, the Church of the Goddess of War in Carcassonne, the Poseidon Church in Bordeaux, and the Church of Guiso. Leox's Church of the God of Nature." Bodrick suggested: "As for everything else, we are willing to abide by His Majesty's will."

"Okay." Ryan thought for a while and thought it was feasible.

"I agree." The kingdom's regent, Duke Lawn of Connet, also agreed.

Later, Duke Adehad of Lyonnaise and Duke Hagen of Gisoleaux also agreed. The remaining Dukes had no choice but to look to the Lake God Witch Morgiana for help, but Morgiana was obviously not thinking about it. On this matter, she naturally agreed.

Furthermore, the dividends brought by the Great Expedition are really great. On the market, a set of dwarf finely crafted runic vibranium armor is worth about five thousand gold crowns. How much is a five thousand set worth? How much did the knights and nobles who could get one-third actually get?

They couldn't even voice their objections.

Finally, the king's resolution was passed.

In this way, Ryan declared that his own powerful kingship had come. In Britannia and the Kingdom of Knights, no one had the ability to oppose him.

After a ducal meeting, the king who returned from the expedition was actually a little tired, but he certainly couldn't say hello like his chief female courtier Veronica and then run into the guest room and fall asleep. There are still a series of things to do next.

Sulia made her son Devon Hill happy and handed it over to Angron. Angron took his nephew and said that he would take him out to sea to fish and let his nephew see how his uncle used a harpoon to stab tuna. , little Devin Hill clapped his hands happily, saying he wanted to see it, and then followed Angron on Bordeaux's large fishing boat and went out to sea.

Both Ryan and Sulia are happy to see this scene. Little Devon Hill is the closest to Angron. Both Ryan and Sulia are happy to see the little guy have more contact with the outside world and see more about what the whole world is like. As for safety issues, Angron is here, so there is no need to worry.

Immediately after giving large rewards to the dukes, Ryan also gave rewards to the nobles under his command.

Although the German High Baron Hex, who has been recognized many times before, did not perform particularly well in this great expedition, he relied on his steady tactics and never retreated in the battle at the Valaya Gate. His performance in resisting the ogre army in the great battle was sufficiently recognized, and Ryan officially named him Earl of Devon, adding fifteen more village fiefs.

The Baron Lops of Oise who died in the battle was succeeded by his eldest son Thierry. Lane greatly compensated for this and promised to erect a monument for Lops' sacrifice.

Baron Richard Olivier, who died in the war, was succeeded by his eldest son Paul, born to Baroness Jennifer, and received the same treatment as Lops.

The title of Grand Baron of Juan Carlos-Sungazer Gabiocali was added to a portion of the fiefdom, and Ryan also granted him the remaining land on Orphan Hill.

All the other nobles who participated in the war were given rewards. Ryan added three more baron titles, and granted the important towns on the edge of the Principality of Mousilon to his subordinates, while the core territory was controlled by himself.

As for Lucien, Baron of the Spire Palace, who hopes to transfer the title of Three Guards of the Badlands, Ryan has not thought about it yet and will hold a meeting to discuss it when he returns to his territory.

After completing a series of simple rewards, the king sat in the VIP suite of Bordeaux Castle for a short rest. As soon as he came back, he was dizzy with a series of things. He had been driving for five hours continuously since landing. meeting.

"Ryan, are you tired?" Ryan's Queen Sulia sat next to Ryan and provided him with a knee pillow service. She smiled softly and used her fingers to help her husband relieve his fatigue. The female knight was wearing the Britannia Palace dress today. A crystal-clear milky white Xibei black thread hooked tiered skirt. Under the skirt is a pair of beautiful long legs wrapped in black velvet diamond luster pantyhose. The pantyhose are embroidered with a golden iris flower pattern, and the black silk feet are covered with A pair of shallow suede stiletto heels. Seeing her husband so tired, Lidya Su was very distressed: "Why don't I help you put down the next thing? Do you have a good rest?"

"No, I'll just rest for a few minutes." Ryan enjoyed the knee pillow and massage service of the female knight. Sulia had already taken off the queen's crown. Even she didn't like to move with a heavy crown, like a waterfall. The bright golden long hair exuded the strong fragrance of iris. The female knight's exquisite and noble face and bright sea-blue eyes looked at her husband, feeling proud of herself, and said jokingly: "You really don't need it?"

"Politics is the mother body of war, and war is the continuation of politics, my lady." Ryan nodded, and the king squinted his eyes slightly. He said softly: "Madam, it has been more than a year, how are you? Is there nothing going on in the territory? ?”

"With Uncle Angron and Her Majesty Morgiana here, what else can happen? Madam, she often comes to accompany me." Sulia nodded slightly, her face flushed: "It's just a little bit occasionally..."

"Do you miss me occasionally?" Ryan smiled.

"If I say I don't miss you, it must be a lie." Lidya Su motioned for Ryan to turn over, and at the same time, a little embarrassed, she stretched out her hand to pull up the hem of the skirt a little so that her husband could rest on her long black stocking legs. : "In fact, it's only been three months and I already regret it. I should have gone with you."

"No, this is a war. My dear, this war is really dangerous. How can I let you go with me? Besides, there are people at home." Ryan quickly shook his head: "You are the greatest support for me. , Sulia.”

"But... I always feel that I have been thrown away by you now." The female knight said a little unwillingly: "Don't forget, Ryan, before I was your wife and queen, I was a female knight."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, Sulia, I'm back, and you have plenty of opportunities to be a 'knight'." Ryan teased.

"You...you guy!" Lidya Su immediately understood what her husband meant, but she did not refuse, but just blushed: "Why, isn't it enough for you to bring Veronica and Orica together?"

"Uh... Madam, if you say that, we can't talk anymore." Ryan was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He turned over and sat up, hugged Sulia, and whispered: "When we return to the territory, let's go to Jean's together. How about taking a bath in the hot springs at the Noble Sanatorium?"

"Then do you plan to bring others with you?" Sulia said with a half-smile: "Us? It sounds like it's not just you and me?"

"Well..." The king could only laugh in the end. Sulia had it done, and Morgiana was waiting for him.

The country's affairs are difficult.

After a brief rest for a few minutes, Ryan stood up again and prepared to handle the next official duties. Sulia did not embarrass him anymore. The female knight adjusted her skirt and sat next to Ryan, signaling that she could continue.

The next person who came in was the kingdom's regent Lawn-Leo Cornwall, as well as the newly arrived head of MI7, the ice-type sacred witch Aurora and the legendary ice-type sorceress Theresa. Apparently she hadn't seen Ryan for a long time. Her eyes lit up when she saw Ryan back. Ryan also smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello to her, indicating that they should talk about business first.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Baroness Emmanuel has officially sent us a diplomatic note and wants to come here for a long and private visit." Raun held a large stack of documents, and the Kingdom Regent took out one and handed it to Ryan: "Given our series of cooperation and good relationship with Noor, we have verbally agreed to this request."

"No problem. The Duke's Castle is very big. It doesn't matter if there are more people living there." Ryan nodded. He hadn't seen Emilia and her two children for a long time, so it was a good time to reunite.

"Ryan, there is very bad news from the empire!" Aurora wore gold-rimmed glasses with butterfly patterns. She did not call His Majesty but called Ryan by his first name. This made Sulia raise her head and glance at her. Seeing Aurora's urgent tone, she didn't say anything.

"What's wrong?" Ryan could tell that it was important, and he immediately motioned for Aurora and Theresa to sit down.

"There is civil strife in the empire. His Majesty the Archbishop of the Church of Justice, Vic Ma, and the Bishop of the White Wolf Church, Wismond, broke out in a fight outside Brunswick! Nearly two thousand people were killed and injured!" Aurora immediately took out the weapon. A document, the Holy Witch's face looked a little anxious: "Now, the White Wolf Elector Boris is leading the Midden army to attack Kronburg, and is confronting the Rick army across the river!"

"If this continues, a full-scale civil war in the empire is about to break out!" Aurora was obviously anxious about this situation: "Ryan, what are you going to do?"

"what happened?!"
