"Have all the five hundred apprentices of Noor decided to return to Britannia?" Ryan took Sulia's hand and said warmly: "I heard that Emilia said this.
, but I didn’t see the message.”
"If so, I must have told you long ago." Sulia smiled and leaned on Ryan's shoulder. The female knight's voice was very calm: "Emilia is almost here, and the five hundred students will follow Ai
When Amelia comes back together, you can ask her then. Amelia didn't send me a letter specifically about this matter, she just mentioned it."
"Well, these five hundred students who graduated from Nuer University are very important. They are the hope of our country's future." Ryan nodded slowly: "Emilia has done great things recently, and she is now famous all over the world.
Now, she has been hailed as 'the unifier of the empire', 'the great patriot', 'the savior from Nuer' and 'the coquettish bitch of Nuer (as the electors say)'. Her efforts successfully prevented the empire from splitting and
Falling into the Three Emperors Rebellion."
"Yes." Sulia didn't seem to be very interested in this topic, and the queen said meaningfully: "Emilia is now powerful, so she probably won't recognize me as her sister anymore, right?"
"That's not enough." Ryan smiled and held Sulia on his lap. In Theresa's envious eyes, the king hugged his queen and kissed her on the face: "Sulia,
Why are you worried about this?"
"Her direct-administered territory is fifty times the size of my territory and twice the size of yours." Sulia obviously resisted being too intimate with Ryan in front of Teresa, but her husband's arms were very
Strong, the queen struggled for a while and saw that Ryan was resolute, so she could only lean on Ryan a little nervously, and whispered: "Lian, if you married her in the first place, there wouldn't be so much trouble."
"Hahahahaha! My wife, you are testing me again." Ryan laughed. He stretched out his hand to scratch Sulia's delicate nose and said with a smile: "I really don't know Emily from beginning to end.
As for Asia’s true identity, at first I just guessed that she was the daughter of a great noble, or that she was in war, was in poverty, or escaped from persecution. Who knew that she would actually be the Duchess of Nour, the Elector of Brescia, and the Grand Duke of Wesenland?
The first claimant to the top title of the empire?"
"...Is this the reason why you came to approach me after you had Amelia?" Sulia also knew that she was a little unhappy for no reason. After all, her identity and status as a wife were unquestionable.
But the well-behaved little maid who used to be called Sister Sulia by Ryan's side and whom he had been in a deep relationship with for many years suddenly became the Imperial Baroness. She was extremely powerful, had countless elite troops under her command, and even owned the empire.
Military industrial center, academic center, and ownership of Nuer, an important southern town.
Then Emilia gave birth to a son, Frederic von Lebwitz-Bernardino.
"It's okay, Lidya Su, Amelia is not a mean-spirited person. When Theresa was unwell when she went on an adventure with me, Amelia took care of her. I was in the hotel with Theresa.
We have discussed this issue, am I right? Dear Theresa?" Ryan held his wife in his arms and said to the sorceress.
"Ah, well, yes, Emilia took care of me very hard at the beginning. She deliberately scolded me so that I wouldn't pay attention to her." Theresa smiled: "That's not the case.
What a good experience.”
"Ha, Emilia didn't trust anyone at that time." Ryan nodded, and he went on to chat with Sulia: "Madam, let me tell you, Emilia and I lived in Marienburg for a while.
At that time, this little maid..."
Talking about some interesting things in Marienburg, Sulia listened with interest and laughed when she heard the interesting parts. Ryan took the opportunity to rub oil on Sulia's beautiful legs and feet in stockings, enjoying her leisure time during the trip.
Teresa envied Sulia for being able to become Ryan's wife. She had thought about what would happen if she became Ryan's wife more than once, but although the sorceress was stubborn, she was not a fool. She knew that she could not be like Sulia.
He mounted his horse to manage the army and dismounted his horse to manage the people, keeping Lane's territory and palace in good order.
If she becomes Ryan's wife and gets a lot of resources, Teresa knows that her life will be a lot of magic experiments, potion refining, workshop production and meditation, and it will be great to accompany Ryan at most two or three days a week.
.
The sorceress remembered Aurora's instructions again about having a child.
Theresa knew in her heart that Aurora was not wrong. Aurora was not only thinking about herself and the witches under her command, but also truly thinking about Theresa, Theresa and Ryan.
The connection between them is actually very weak. It is just the relationship between the noble lord and the magic advisor, and at most the relationship between the personal female courtiers. If you use your head to imagine, you will know that this is not a strong relationship.
In terms of appearance, Teresa's appearance and figure are naturally top-notch, but who is Ryan now? If he hints that he wants a new maid or female courtier, the entire kingdom will mobilize quickly. In fact, there are already many knights.
The nobles hinted, but they were blocked by Sulia. Ryan also made it clear that he was not interested, and the Gloria Council had the same idea.
In terms of strength, Teresa is still stuck at the peak of the legend, and Orica, Morgiana and Veronica beside Ryan are already strong in the sanctuary. When it comes to magic, Ryan no longer needs Teresa.
In the past two weeks at the Duke's Castle, the only role the sorceress can play is...
You understand.
Therefore, Teresa often doesn't know why Aurora is so anxious, but the caster's pregnancy has always been a small probability event. She has been with Ryan for a long time. She is in her forties this year. If there is no, there is no.
What solution?
Ice witches do have a special secret method, which can be frozen by ice magic and then activated by secret medicine, which can guarantee pregnancy relatively smoothly. This is why Kislev gradually became the leader of ice witches, and the czarina always
It is an important reason to be able to pass on the family line, but it must reach the strength of the Holy Realm, and Teresa is not enough at the moment.
"Teresa?"
What should I do? The sorceress was thinking wildly.
"Teresa?"
If you want to consolidate the situation as soon as possible and avoid being marginalized, you must have a child as soon as possible, but you must have the strength of the holy realm to use secret techniques and secret medicines, then... a very terrifying thought suddenly appeared in the sorceress's heart.
idea!
No, absolutely not!
"Ms. Teresa!" Ryan's voice became louder.
"Ah? What's the matter? Ryan." Teresa's thoughts were interrupted. She found that her face was very hot. The sorceress held down the hem of her skirt and put her beautiful legs together: "I'm thinking about something."
"I'm asking you, when will you set off and how long will it take?" Ryan looked at the scenery outside the window, and then turned his attention to the sorceress.
"The big gathering only lasts three to five days. My mother and I will leave in three days. Veronica will not be with us, she will teleport there by herself." Teresa nodded: "After the big gathering is over, we will be at the Skydome Castle.
If you stay for a week or two to deal with some follow-up matters, you will probably have to move."
"Okay, I understand." Ryan nodded.
The carriage drove for more than two hours, and the place arrived. Although Theresa was a little reluctant to leave, she still kissed Ryan goodbye, put on the mixed elf war horse, and headed to the Ice Wizard Tower.
In this way, Sulia and Ryan were suddenly left in the carriage. The female knight immediately felt that Ryan was looking at her with malicious eyes, and she quickly refused: "No! Ryan, you must not be here!"
"What are you talking about, Lidya Su, I just want to hug you." Ryan hugged his wife to prevent her from escaping: "Let me hug you~ I like to hug you."
Lidya Su nodded shyly. The female knight leaned on Ryan's chest. She thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Did Amelia say when she will arrive?"
"It should be just these two days." What Ryan likes most is to make his noble lady show shyness and a strange expression. The king puts his arms around his queen and lets her sit on his lap, smelling her golden hair.
The fragrance of iris flowers: "She made it clear that she doesn't want us to welcome her, and she doesn't want us to make any ostentation. Since she likes it, let her do it."
"What about your brother Fulgen?" Sulia nodded, and then asked.
"Forgan is not that fast, it will probably take a while." Ryan thought for a while: "I guess I will go to Bordello to greet him and his Ashes Army."
The two chatted for a while, discussing various recent internal affairs and trends in the kingdom, as well as diplomatic policies. Sulia felt that Ryan's hands were becoming more and more dishonest, and the female knight quickly reached out to stop her husband from causing mischief: "Wait...
...Wait! Ryan, you said that if it is true what Beria said, the situation in Kislev is already so bad, the country is in such turmoil, and the empire does not care about it? I remember that the empire has always supported Kislev.
Right? Why hasn’t it happened recently?”
"Karl-Franz has been in a lot of trouble recently because of internal strife. How can he have the energy and spare finances to provide support?" Ryan said casually: "The Osterland has always had a good relationship with Kislev. This time North
The Kadda Expedition also gave them a lot of wealth, so Kislev had better not fall. Although the situation of this kingdom has gone from bad to worse after the Great Holy War, in any case it is the first line of defense of the old world."
"Regardless of the recent financial difficulties of the empire, that is because Emperor Karl asked Gelt to rebuild the Sol Territory, so it spent a lot of money and energy. As long as the reconstruction of the Sol Territory is completed, the new trade tariffs and fiscal revenue will
With continuous subsidies to the empire's treasury, the empire will also get a new elite army. Generally speaking, this deal is a good deal." Ryan continued: "It's just that Emperor Karl has to overcome the current difficulties."
"So, Ryan, you said that the entire old world knows that we are currently the richest, will the emperor come to us for a loan?" Sulia was concerned about the next thing. The queen's political talent has been greatly improved in the past two years.
Enough exercise.
"It's possible." Ryan was not surprised by this: "If he comes in person, we might as well borrow some, and the return will definitely be greater."
"Yeah." Lidya Su nodded first, and then tentatively said: "By the way, as for the new tax director, I tend to let Sylvia's father Vincent be the new tax manager. Mr. Vincent is an upright person and works hard with all his heart.
, he is Sylvia’s father again, trustworthy enough, what do you think?”
"My wife has said so, what else can I do besides agree? OK, I will appoint Mr. Vincent as the new tax controller when I go back. Gasparton has been working for me for nearly twenty years, so that's fine.
Retired." Ryan nodded.
Even if this decision was passed, Ryan suddenly thought of the tax system in his mind. He was not only a little emotional, but neither he nor the empire had encountered the most difficult tax system problem in this world.
What didn't he encounter?
He did not encounter the "gentle treatment" that was so famous in the late Chinese dynasty.
Since the reorganization of the empire by Ludwig, both civilians and military nobles have had the obligation to pay taxes.
In Britannia, the great nobles actually have to pay taxes, including the king's shield tax and the tithe of the Church of the Lady of the Lake. Every noble has to pay, among which no noble has paid the tithe of the Lady of the Lake.
Anyone who dares not to pay, and Ryan's close relationship with the Lady of the Lake and the Witch of the Lake is destined to have direct access to the astonishing wealth of the Lady of the Lake Church.
Due to Ryan's strength, the entire kingdom is now paying the King's Shield Tax, except for the Principality of Carcassonne. The Principality of Carcassonne was exempted from the tax specifically by Ryan, because as long as it can block the invasion from the south, it is the greatest contribution to the kingdom.
All classes are paying taxes, which has greatly alleviated the country's financial pressure and ensured the strength of Ryan's administration. With the full support of the Fairy of the Lake Church and his personal prestige, the king's orders to the dukes
I dare not not listen, I have to listen, and it will not be like Guo Jia was extremely poor at the end of Dameng, and the local gentry was so rich that they also enjoyed preferential treatment by the gentry. Land tax? Sorry, this is an ancestral system! Commercial tax? Sorry, we focus on agriculture.
Suppress business!
To some extent, Ryan cheated.
Of course, if he doesn't cheat, he will take action. The country cannot continue to rot like this.
This is the problem in Kislev, the boyars don't pay taxes, and neither do the great nobles.
"Lidya Su, let me ask you something." Ryan thought of this and asked: "Did Lilith say a specific time?"
"Time? Yes." Sulia's sea-blue eyes showed a playful look: "Can't wait, my husband?"
"Hehehe~ Didn't you make an agreement with Lilith?" Ryan kissed his wife on her lips and said, "Tell me."
"The lady said that on this year's Lake Fairy's Day, she will consummate your marriage with you in the tower." Sulia blushed: "The lady also said that I will also attend and do it for you and the lady.
A testimony.”
"Well, I understand."
…………I am the dividing line between the gentry and the invincible treatment in the world……
A few hours later, Ryan returned to his Duke's Castle. He pulled Sulia's hand out of the carriage. The couple looked at each other and smiled, but found Angron squatting in the corner of the castle gate and laughing loudly: "Hahahahaha
!”
"Brother, what are you laughing at?" Ryan asked Angron curiously: "What is so funny?"
"Hahahahaha~" Angron couldn't help but cover his face with laughter. The World Eater Primarch pointed his thumb at the door and kept laughing: "Ah hahaha~"
"???" Ryan quickly stepped forward and listened.
There were two children arguing inside.
"My dad is the most powerful dad in the world!"
"My dad too!"
"No, my dad is the one, he is the most powerful!"
"Nonsense, my father is the strongest!"
"No, my dad is the strongest. My dad is a great hero!"
"My dad too!"
"Hmph! Let me tell you, my father is very powerful, he dares to eat Xiang!"
"My dad dares too!"
"My dad dares to sun the cactus!"
"My dad can do it too! He not only dares to kill a cactus, but also dares to stuff it into the barrel of Hawk's gun. Can your dad do it?"
"Of course my dad can do it! He can also stick his head into Nurgle's soup and stir it up! Can your dad do it?"
"My dad can not only stir, but he can also drink!"
Ryan frowned as he listened. He thought, where did the two naughty kids come from to quarrel here? Are they so arrogant?
The king hurriedly walked towards the castle.
If you look carefully, you can see that little Devonshire and little Frederick were arguing together with two toys. The quarrel was fierce. Not far away, the Imperial Dame was sitting next to her, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.
.
Ryan suddenly felt that all the blood in his body was rushing to his head, and the veins on his head were exposed.
