ps2: Thank you also for the rewards of "Fengzhilin", "Stanner Xiaohuang", "Remaining in the Veteran Brigade" and "Romania Feti", thank you very much!

The overall planning mentioned by Ryan is actually very simple, that is, after he takes the throne, he will send bureaucrats to clear the country's land, which is suitable for growing cash crops, which is suitable for growing food, and which is suitable for livestock and orchards, he will investigate clearly, and Ensure that there is enough arable land to grow food.

Of course, one must wait for him to become king before he can have this power.

"At the same time, I will also implement a constant-level warehouse system, build storage warehouses across the country, and usually increase the price of grain for large-scale purchases when the market price of grain is low, and appropriately reduce the price for sale when the market price of grain is high. "Ryan continued: "Everyone must have noticed recently that the price of food on the market is high. That's because Wesson has lost a lot in the invasion of the Tamu Khan. Therefore, we are importing large-scale food from our side. You may as well. Sell ​​some stocks to the empire."

The protection price of grain and the reserve grain system. Ryan has a little description of it and everyone understands that the issue of grain is indeed an eternal topic. The subordination and private relationship between the knight nobles and serfs before determines that the surplus of grain produced by serfs is basically All belong to the nobility. In this case, food has little relationship with the market. However, with the reform of Lane, the emergence of fixed taxes and the conceivable contracting system in the future means the emergence of commodity grain and the rise of the commodity economy, so old methods Definitely no longer applicable, the food protection price and grain reserve system proposed by Ryan has just solved this problem.

"As for other things, after I take the throne, I will also announce the abolition of the king's shield tax." Ryan calmly dropped another blockbuster throughout the conference room.

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

"Initially, there is not much tax collected, and it does not matter if it is abolished. Also, the abolition of shield tax I said is only for food crops, cash crops, orchards, and animal husbandry." Lane said calmly: " To encourage food planting, it is necessary to give some supporting policies appropriately. Historically, the King’s shield tax has been difficult to levy, and you must be aware of it."

Several dukes are a little embarrassed. The knight nobles are like this. The tithes of the fairies in the lake have always been paid in full or even overpaid, but the king’s shield tax is a variety of excuses and false reports, underreporting, and slippery. Ryan took this When the matter was brought up, it was not convenient for everyone to answer the conversation.

François felt that he was in vain. The bulk of his Winford Principality's income was various cash crops, especially wine. As for the shield tax reduction on food crops, he did not benefit much at all.

The old man can only recognize the benefits of Ryan's rise to him.

"In the future, we must also unify tariffs and levy taxes in kind." Ryan continued: "But that's something later, and everything will be discussed after I become the throne. At present, I can only say so much. What I want to emphasize is, Everyone, I have adopted many methods to ensure your interests and compensate you for your losses. Please also understand that the trend of the times and the course of history cannot be reversed."

"The empire across the mountain has completed its restructuring and has become the most powerful human kingdom in the old world. We in Brittany must also keep up, otherwise the end will be perish. It is better to solve it from the top than to overturn it from below. The northern barbarians, chaotic demons, green-skinned tribes, beasts and undead covet the land given to us by the goddess all the time. Only by self-reliance, self-reform and self-renewal, can we complete salvation in this dark age."

Several dukes nodded. This topic is a very sensitive topic, and that's it.

"I also have a problem, Ryan, you know, the Principality of Lyonasse is very difficult now, and we are not able to implement this policy." Now it is the turn of the Duke of Adehad, the Duke of Lyonese also said anxiously: " The serfs will definitely not be able to use the money to redeem them now. People in many places can’t get enough to eat and don’t wear warm clothes. How are we going to advance this reform?"

"Don't worry, Adehad, we all know about the situation of Leona." Ryan quickly prevented Adehad from speaking: "As we all know, the specific conditions of different principalities are different. We have to adapt to local conditions and combine local characteristics. Forcibly implement it, forcibly plundering their property from the serfs."

"Yes, Adehad, my suggestion to you is to reduce taxes, encourage serfs to go out to regain lost land, appropriately send troops to regain those unowned lands, as well as eradicate bandits and rebel serfs." Francois also nodded. "You don’t think about doing any serf ransom purchase 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 immediately."

"Okay, very good. You have always been like this. It's always the same. When I took over the Honasai, the treasury and granary were empty enough to raise rats." Adehad said angrily: Here, looking at what reforms you have done, what redemption you have, all of you have made money. What about me? I can only watch! Francois, you let me reduce taxes? You let me send an army? What about the money? Where's the food? It's easy to say!"

"...Well, we all know the difficulties of Lyonace, we are not without someone to help you." Lawn took the initiative to speak, the Kingdom Regent persuaded: "If Silluf is here, he will not In doing so, what you and your principality need is to recuperate, not to forcefully follow our steps."

"..." Adehad sighed lightly, a sense of powerlessness in his voice: "I hope Lyonace will have another glorious day."

"Let’s talk about it today." Ryan made the conclusion of the Duke’s meeting: "Please go back and determine the amount of the redemption according to the actual conditions of your Principality. This number must be cautious. Remember, the gold rate is too low. It will make the serfs find it too easy and your interests will suffer. If you set too high, the serfs cannot afford so much money, which is tantamount to fooling them."

The meeting of dukes ended, and a grand banquet was held in Ryan’s dukes’ castle that day. The dukes who had come from afar feasted and toasted and rejoiced in order to reach a certain degree of consensus. With their support, plus Hubald, Duke of Carcassonne, and the support of the dukes of Brittany finally exceeded half. With the addition of the Church of the Fairy in the Lake headed by Mogiana, Ryan has been able to master the country in a true sense after he ascended the throne. .

After the banquet was over, Ryan, who had drunk a few more glasses, sneaked into the Suria courtyard of the castle.

There is no snow at night, and the winter night is very quiet. There are many irises and plucked pine trees in Suria’s courtyard. Ryan walks alone in the castle courtyard, looking up, the sky is full of stars, like pearls. Like a handful of broken gold, scattered on the black jade plate, it is so peaceful and serene at the moment, the leaves are rustling.

Ryan suddenly felt very tired.

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

Nobles, churches, merchants, wizards, Ryan has been able to achieve his ideals by all means. Even so, he has spent more than ten years before he has a basis for reforms. Now he must carefully advance these. Compared to a decade ago, he was alone. Now he has a family, has his own power, and has a large group of subordinates. The expansion of power also means that he has to be more and more cautious and more difficult.

The cold, lonely, and lonely, faint magic lamp illuminates the stone-paved road in the courtyard. Inside the courtyard is a statue of Suria, and the statue of her favorite mount Richter is also among them, Ryan Slowly walked to the statue, looked at his wife's serious, beautiful posture with a gun in her hand, and smiled warmly.

He now understands why many middle-aged men felt "greasy" before. That's because these men have become sleek and sophisticated. They are burdened too much. Gu, there are friends who want to help. There are too many things to stop them from getting on their heads, stop them from acting impulsively, and stop their resistance and escape.

Middle-aged greasy men can only endure, they can only keep their breath, they can only swallow their anger, this is something young people cannot tolerate and cannot understand. After all, anyone can knock on the keyboard, follow the booze, and follow the trend. The barefooted are not afraid of wearing shoes and dare to bully me. ? I will kill your whole family!

The Five Steps of Piff’s Wrath is like this. This is how Shuangwen reads too much and does not consider any consequences. It only tries to be refreshed for a while, has endless troubles and is irrational, but it is especially liked by everyone because he does it. What everyone wants to do but dare not do.

When the old king Richard took office, the scenery was infinite. When he was still in his prime, he liked to go into the mountains and hunt tigers alone. The first thing after he became king was to join forces with the high elf Prince Imric to defeat the wild orc frenzy near Curona. At that time, Richard was so spirited and felt that he could do something for the kingdom, but when Ryan came to Brittania more than 20 years later, Richard had become the one who was stubborn and refused to change. The people who suppressed Ryan.

Have the times changed? No, it is not, the times have not changed.

So why exactly?

you know.

Ryan has multiple shares, and I am the champion of the Lake Fairy selected by the Lake Fairy. He actually took the first step of reform after all the hardships. He really has to sigh: I am too difficult, and I have been under pressure recently. Very big.

Just as Ryan looked at his wife’s statue in a crazy way, he felt footsteps coming from behind him: "Ryan, what's the matter, why did you come here? We are all looking for you."

It’s Su Liya. Today’s female knight is wearing a **** sugar wood grain brown fragrant classic black lace-up dress, wrapped in black velvet tights, a pair of slender black silk legs, wearing a pair of knee-high high-heeled boots. , Her heroic temperament, and the faint smile on her delicate face and the gentleness of water, a cape of shining golden long curly hair descended.

As it was fourteen years ago, in the Rose Garden of Curona.

The Duchess approached from behind. She gently hugged Ryan from behind, and gently embraced Ryan's neck with her arms: "Ryan, my husband, you have done well enough, and my father was still complimenting me just now. You said that you successfully accomplished something he never dared to imagine. His Excellency Lawn also said that all they can do is to ease the contradiction and try to be fair. Only you have proposed a solution that can be accepted by everyone. You It is a miracle that the lady bestowed on Britania."

"You are amazing, my husband, I am proud of you." Su Liya's voice was like a stream of spring water, flowing over Ryan's heart, moisturizing his will, and the duchess' sea-blue eyes were deep in her eyes. : "Don't force yourself too much."

"Three generations to five generations." Ryan only felt that his chamber was filled with Su Liya's. He turned around and hugged his wife.

"Huh?" Su Liya obviously didn't understand.

"My reforms can only benefit from three to five generations at most, and then the whole society will gradually fall silent again." Ryan sighed. He embraced a princess and picked up his wife. The couple sat in the courtyard. "Just like the empire, the reform of the savior Ludwig made the empire prosper and ushered in its most glorious era. But one hundred and sixty years have passed. Wealth and land have gone through a short period of time. Circulation has returned to the hands of the nobles. The newly reclaimed land cannot prevent the looting and expansion of the nobles. Whether it is Karl Franz or me, this trend can only be suppressed by the royal power and personal prestige, but not It may change, only to reform again."

"What the lady said, Ryan, there is no eternal kingship in this world." After hearing this, Su Liya didn't take it seriously: "You have done everything you can do. This is enough. You can bring the kingdom to the kingdom for one or two hundred years. Prosperity is already a great king."

"Hahaha, yes, you really don't have to think about things after three or five generations." Ryan suddenly thought of something and nodded in approval: "Thank you, Su Liya, you enlightened me again."

"I'm your wife, what do we say thank you." Su Liya leaned on her husband's shoulder, and the female knight suddenly felt that she had the world.

This is happiness.

The husband and wife stayed warm for a few minutes. Seeing that Ryan had recovered from fatigue and depression, Su Liya whispered: "Ryan, during this period of time you have taken a good rest and are ready for the throne, and you too. Take the time to see Ms. Veronica and see how she is going. She has been in retreat for almost a year."

Unexpectedly, it is reasonable that the relationship between Sulia and Veronica is pretty good. 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 the relationship with Suria. From time to time, she tries to get some rare gifts for the Duchess. If the two parties meet , Veronica, who is about to be forty years old this year, has always obediently called Suria's "sister" or "madam" in her early thirties, so the relationship between the two has always been good.

Only Ryan knows that Veronica has a clear position for herself. If Ryan is a big tree in the sky, Veronica is the vine on the branch. She now dares not lose Ryan’s support and protection, 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 take a look at Veronica in a few days to see how she is doing." Ryan thought for a while and agreed: "As for Teresa and Aurora...Suria, I need you to do me a favor."

"you say."
