Facing Xia Ping's words, Xu Qianya suddenly touched her tears, stood up, and saluted solemnly, saying softly: "Godmother, it is my luck that I can have a mother like you. I know what I should do."
"Qianya, you are such a good child." Xia Ping was relieved to see her like this.
"Godmother, I will not be wary of you in the future. I will be my best and be the king." Xu Qianya promised.
"Qianya, I believe in you." Xia Ping nodded vigorously.
"Godmother, do you think I can replace the palace manager now?" Xu Qianya asked.
"Because she said I was here to control you, how did you do it according to the church's will?" Xia Ping asked.
"Yeah!" Xu Qianya nodded.
"Then do you have your own ideas about some things?" Xia Ping asked.
"I...I think her heart is on me, but...but she obviously wants to use her current identity to obtain greater benefits. She knows that you cannot replace it, so she can only get apart, at least make me distrust you." Xu Qianyasi asked.
"Since you think she can be used for you, then use it. Everyone has their own ideas and some ideas, but the most important thing is that you have to control yourself and use everyone well. This is the key. After all, no one is perfect, everyone has shortcomings. Playing with strengths and avoiding weaknesses is something that must be done as a king in employed people. Of course, I am not qualified to tell you about this aspect, but at least this is my understanding." When Xia Ping spoke, she couldn't help but think of Lin Haoming. This is how the Demon Lord seems to use people.
"I understand, then what should you do when the current situation of Xu State? Xu State is too poor." Xu Qianya asked.
"What are your thoughts?" Xia Ping asked back.
"Although Xu's war horses are very good, they lack food, the land is barren, and the winter is too cold, but the church collects taxes and the nobles collects taxes. Xu's country is too short of money. I plan to reduce taxes but only reduce the aristocratic taxes. Those people are definitely unwilling. If the church is willing to take the lead in reducing taxes." Xu Qianya looked at Xia Ping, obviously hoping that Xia Ping would help.
Xia Ping looked at the little girl and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't you have your own ideas. Do you want the church to reduce taxes?"
"Yes, can Godmother be okay?" In fact, at the beginning, Xu Qianya deliberately acted coquettishly at Xia Ping, and she also wanted to get closer and hope for the other party to help. But she didn't expect that Xia Ping would say that completely touch her.
"Qianya, although you are young, you already have the potential to be an excellent king. Of course, this matter is possible. At least I can discuss it with the Archbishop to reduce the local church tax by a part of it." Xia Ping thought that Huang Feilong was a pragmatic and capable archbishop, and I believe that this matter would definitely be discussed. Moreover, the matter in Xu State is too big. Now it is a stable situation, I believe that the church will not be too harsh.
"Really, Godmother, thank you!" Xu Qianya was also overjoyed when she heard this. After all, the church has only had tax increases and had hardly heard of tax cuts.
"You child, you are actually much more mature than I thought. You will be a good queen!" Xia Ping praised again.
The next day, Xu Qianya met Huang Feilong with Xia Ping.
Huang Feilong also had plans for tax cuts. When he saw Xia Ping lobbying, Huang Feilong agreed, but it was impossible to reduce taxes for a long time, so he could only reduce part of the tax for ten years.
Although it was a little worse than what he wanted, Xu Qianya was quite satisfied.
After leaving, Xia Ping learned that the queen had summoned several of the most powerful nobles in Xu State.
The witches of July.
"Xu State really made a sixteen-year-old girl the queen. I don't know if it was the country's fortune of Xu State. The north of Chu State bordered Xu State, and the King of Chu has always coveted Xu State's war horses!" Zhou Qingyao talked about this matter at a meeting.
"That child is very unusual. She relies on the church as a support in exchange for the church's tax cuts, and then forced the nobles to reduce taxes. This way, it is hard to imagine that she is just a sixteen-year-old girl." Xia Ping thought about the past half month and felt more and more that Xu Qianya was really a king who could do anything.
"Oh! If this is the case, Xia Witch, I suggest you develop her into someone from our Demon Lord Club!" Zhou Qingyao signaled.
"It's still early now, there is no need for the time being. There is already a witch Xia there. Let's talk about it when it is necessary!" Lin Haoming spoke.
"Okay adult!" Xia Ping breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She didn't want to be controlled by this child. She wanted to see where the child could go.
"The chaos in Kang must be needed for war horses. Xia Witch, how about I send someone to Xu State to purchase war horses?" Dai Xiuying suddenly asked.
"Xu State also happens to need money, so it is of course the best. However, Chu State is worried that Xu State will grow bigger and has been restricting Xu State from going out of war horses. Moreover, Xu State from Kang State is long, so it is easy to get into trouble on the road." Xia Ping said with some concern.
"This is easy, Qiu Witch, we can cooperate. I will ensure the smooth flow of the country from Chu to Zhou." Zhou Qingyao took the initiative.
"Okay, I'll be responsible for transportation." Dai Xiuying promised.
The next day after the Witch Club ended, Dai Xiuying found Li Wei's daughter, Li Yuechan.
"My mother, what you said is true. Have you really opened up the horse transportation route from Xu State to our side?" Li Yuechan was a little surprised when she heard Dai Xiuying's words.
Li Yuechan is Li Wei's youngest daughter. She has good qualifications and high cultivation. Although she is not young, she is less than 600 years old and is already the peak of a second-level wizard. She also plays an important role in the Li family. Although she is much greater than Dai Xiuying, who made Dai Xiuying her stepmother?
As Li Wei's daughter, Li Yuechan looked down on her brothers very much, and each of them had no ability. If her father died, the Li family, as the richest businessman in Dai Kingdom, would have ended up. So she was more willing to inherit the family business by herself than others. Of course, it was not a good thing for a woman to inherit the family business, so she did not marry outside. Instead, she found an honest man to be a son-in-law.
The last time Dai Xiuying's business was asked to do it, and this time I came to her again.
Li Yuechan knew the business opportunities. If Xu, Chu and Zhou were able to operate, then half of the continent would be unobstructed, then the Li family would not be the richest man in Dai, but a wealthy family that could be counted in the mainland.
Thinking of this, Li Yuechan also wanted to take a try. Although she herself doubted why Dai Xiuying had such a way. Although she said that Marquis An was staying, she still doubted that such an opportunity was rare. If she missed it, she would not be willing to do so.
