Chapter 353: Totally Agreed
In the room, Nicole was the only one left.
Nicole knew that what Lan Xian'er said was not wrong, and she was not a fan of the authorities, but she didn't want to admit that the alchemy country that was loved by father and son would just have a disaster of Xiao Wall. If you weren't the princess of the Alchemy Kingdom, you wouldn't have to worry about that; If you don't have the strength and popularity, and you don't have the money system and business network established between the Alchemy Country and Fuxing City, you don't have to worry about it. But after all, he has paid so much for the Alchemy Country, and has brought huge wealth to the Alchemy Country, including three square towers, if he really wants to throw away nothing and go into exile, how can he be willing? Is the only way left for yourself is to reach the top?
But why did Lan Xian'er tell herself this? Didn't she come to seek the protection of Fuxing City from the Alchemy Country? Does this have anything to do with whether or not you want to inherit the throne?
……
"Princess! Princess! ……”
The maid's shout woke Nicole from her sleep and said angrily, "What is it called, let Princess Ben rest for a while!" ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, Princess Lan Xian'er said outside the store, you promised Her Royal Highness the Queen yesterday to see Your Majesty this morning, and now the morning dynasty is about to disperse, but the princess has not made a sound, so ......"
"What do you say, I slept for a day and a night?" Nicole then realized that she was lying on the bed, but the sky outside was no different from yesterday when the queen and the blue fairy were there.
"Yes, Your Highness Princess!" The maid said, "Princess Blue Fairy has been waiting outside for a long time!" ”
"You killed me, why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Nicole said angrily, got up immediately, and changed her clothes and makeup without the help of the maid.
"We also watch the princess work day and night, and we want the princess to rest a little more!"
……
"Nicole, I heard that you are not doing well in the money bank of the Alchemy Country, and if you want to promote paper money, there are many obstacles!" Sitting on the sleigh car, Blue Fairy and Nicole talked and laughed as if nothing had happened yesterday.
"The Alchemy Country is different from Fuxing City after all!" Nicole sighed and said, "Fuxing City was originally a white silk, on which it was easy to write and paint, the old model of financial management in the Alchemy Country is deeply rooted, whether it is the common people, or the aristocratic rich businessmen, they have been accustomed to the way of doing business for thousands of years, they feel that there is nothing wrong with it, and it is difficult to want them to accept new things and new knowledge!" Especially those nobles and wealthy merchants, who already have great wealth in their hands, in their opinion, there is no need to try these things in one more move, and when the time comes, it will be self-defeating and their wealth will be lost! ”
"Hehe, in the final analysis, it's still the state system of the Alchemy Country that is doing the trick, and the lack of trust in the royal family is doing the trick!" Lan Xian'er smiled.
"How is this going to be politically involved again?" Nicole said unhappily, "The state system and royal prestige of the Alchemy Country are so long, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it!" Isn't that the whole of Middle-earth? If the alchemy country can't be implemented, where else can it be implemented? ”
"It is precisely because such a state system has been used for thousands of years that people have formed a habit of not wanting to try or accept a new system!" Blue Fairy smiled, "Have you forgotten the Elven Codex?" The supremacy of royal power and the privilege system will hinder the implementation of such a mechanism! ”
"Do you want our Alchemy Kingdom to give up its royal power?" Nicole was taken aback and asked angrily, "How did our alchemy royal family offend you, and you want to fight the throne like this?" ”
"The Elven Codex did not give up the royal power, but only weakened and returned the government to the people!" Blue Fairy ignored Nicole's annoyance and continued, "The royal family and nobles have privileges, which has led to the distrust of the people, and this distrust has been used to you for thousands of years, so you don't feel it. In other words, if ordinary people can benefit from the money system, then they will fear that the part of the income will be confiscated by the aristocracy using their privileges, because the aristocracy, in order to maintain the overwhelming nature of their wealth, will not allow the people to be too rich and too stable. If everyone lives a prosperous and carefree life, no one will serve their aristocratic class, and their power is equivalent to being suppressed, which in the face of this state system, your money bank system is called perverse! And the royal family, which was originally the largest aristocratic group, in order to protect its own interests and facilitate its own exercise of power, it is impossible to allow the people to be too powerful! ”
"Our royal family has been working hard for thousands of years to enrich the country and the people, how did it come to your mouth and become such a selfish and shallow person?" Nicole said indignantly, "Which king of the alchemy country did not do his best for the country and the people, which of our royal family members, which one of them violated the laws of the country and harmed the country and the people?" ”
"That's because you're looking at this matter as a member of the royal family!" Lan Xian'er sneered: "The country is owned by the royal family, and the country is home to the royal family, your king has worked hard and conscientiously for his home, what is there to show off?" For the people? Hehe, the wealth of the people will naturally lead to the stability of the country, but the wealth of the people here must be within the control of the state or the royal family, and most of the rich businessmen are dependent on the aristocratic group, and they themselves serve the aristocratic group. Under this kind of state system, there are too many limitations for the country and the people! The laws of the country were originally formulated by your royal family and nobles, of course you will not violate them, and you will not allow others to violate them, because the whole set of laws was originally intended to allow your noble group to exercise privileges over the common people reasonably and legally, and to rule and ignore the common people reasonably and legally! Hmph, under such a state system, how is it possible that you want to fully implement your idea of a strong country? ”
"You want me to cancel the privileges of the nobility and the royal privileges?" Nicole said, "Like the Elven Codex? ”
"Who are you?" Lan Xian'er smiled, "What right do you have to cancel the privileges of the nobles, and why did you cancel your own privileges?" What you did was originally to make yourself and your country stronger, can you weaken your own interests for the sake of your own country's strength? ”
"I can!" Nicole said categorically, "For the sake of the strength of the country and the prosperity of the people, I would rather have nothing!" But in the end, you are still persuading me to ascend to the throne, because only by ascending to the throne can I become the rule-maker, and it is possible to change the law and eliminate privileges! ”
Lan Xian'er smiled, was silent, opened the curtain and looked out the window, and said for a long time, "I originally planned to stay in your alchemy country for a while to help you cultivate some financial talents, but even you didn't understand the meaning of the Jin Yuan Empire we established!" So I thought, no matter how much talent there is, there is no use! There is a financial management school in Fuxing City, and you can send people to study there, but if your royal power thinking cannot be changed, then your money bank system, pawnshop system, and your business network are just for your royal family and nobles to earn more wealth, and it may not change substantially for the people and the country! We're at the palace! After speaking, Lan Xian'er jumped off the sleigh.
Even at the end of spring, the Alchemy Country is still very cold, and Skana City is in ice and snow for a long time except for the real summer when the ice and snow melt completely for three months.
The guards led Nicole and Blue Fairy to the harem queen's residence, where the king of the alchemy kingdom, Ainsai and the queen, were already waiting.
Ainsai looked unhappy and said, "Hmph, it's getting more and more unusual, let this king wait for you here!" ”
The queen smiled and said, "Didn't you just arrive?" ”
"Father, don't blame my sister, it's me who got up late!" Nicole smiled awkwardly, "My daughter slept until now, if my sister hadn't woken me up, I would still be sleeping here!" ”
"It's not breakfast yet!" The queen said angrily, "Look at those subordinates in your princess's mansion, they are all spoiled by you, you entered the palace today, don't they know?" ”
"They also see that their daughter is tired and want their daughter to sleep more!" Nicole laughed.
"I didn't eat it, I scalded a pot of wine!" Ainsey smiled, "Nicole, you go and order the kitchen to bring some food, and you can accompany the king to drink some!" ”
"Father is not in good health, is he still drinking like this?" Nicole asked, surprised.
The queen smiled and said, "Your father is very happy that you are here, and his complexion has improved a lot these days!" If you have another meal with him, he will be pleased, so go! ”
Lan Xian'er said with a smile: "Your Majesty, since you are so happy today, and it is almost noon time to eat, why don't I cook it myself, cook a few simple dishes, and a few of us will have a good drink, eat and chat!" ”
The queen smiled and said: "It's not easy for you to go back to the alchemy country, and it's rare to enter the palace, so you can accompany Your Majesty and me more, and let the people do those things in the kitchen!" ”
Lan Xian'er said with a smile: "Your Majesty and the queen can rest assured, I came back this time to accompany you, and I have time!" ”
"Good!" Ainsey smiled, "It's rare for Blue Fairy to have this filial piety, go ahead!" ”
"I'm going to help too!" Nicole said.
"We're both gone, who will talk to Your Majesty and the Queen?" Lan Xian'er smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be alone!" ”
Watching Lan Xian'er leave the distance, Ainsai began to ask Nicole, "What is the purpose of Lan Xian'er's return this time?" ”
Before Nicole could answer, the queen said angrily: "What do you have to say, can't you ask Lan Xian'er in person, do you have to talk about it behind people's backs?" Could she really come back to see us? ”
Ainsey said with a smile: "Blue Fairy took the initiative to leave, just to let this king and Nicole have space to talk alone!" ”
"My sister came back this time to ask for help!" Nicole said, "Fuxing City now borders on Arad's strength, and Arad may destroy Fuxing City at any time!" Therefore, Sister Lan Xian'er asked Fuxing City to help, and informed the ambassadors of various countries that the Alchemy Country recognized the neutral status of Fuxing City, and promised that to fight with Fuxing City was to declare war on the Alchemy Country! ”
Ainsey didn't seem surprised, and asked Nicole with a smile, "What do you think about it?" ”
"I don't think there's a problem in acknowledging the neutrality of Fuxing City!" Nicole said, "If you ignore the safety of the alchemy country, intervene in other countries' civil wars, and may even send troops, waste people and money, and lose troops and generals, of course I can't agree to such a thing!" ”
Ainsey was silent, noncommittal to Nicole's answer, as if he was thinking about how to deal with Blue Fairy's question.
Nicole continued: "Father, our Alchemy Kingdom is located in an extremely cold land, it is not comparable to Alasia, and we have no ambition to dominate, so we can't drag the Alchemy Kingdom into the war because we have some interests in Fuxing City!" If my sister insists on forcing us to do this, we will have to withdraw from Fuxing City! ”
"I agree to recognize the neutral status of Fuxing City!" Ainsey said, "It's no problem to tie the safety of Fuxing City to the safety of the Alchemy Kingdom, but there is one condition, Blue Fairy must agree!" ”
"What?" Nicole was taken aback, "Father completely agrees with Blue Fairy's request?" ”
