In the castle of Bloodrock City, Don withdrew the magic that had escaped from his hand, and then a small but delicate gemstone necklace fell into his hand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's done."

Don pinched the jewel, then coaxed the arched Wienet in his arms, put the necklace on her, and then lightly touched his fingers on the necklace, only to see a change of light and shadow, and the devil's horns, wings, and tail on Wienet's body were all gone.

Covering up Vinet's devilish traits by keeping the necklace of Transfiguration is the only way Don can think of at the moment, otherwise if the people know that His Majesty Donn, whom they worship, has actually raised a devil's daughter, they are afraid that a coup will be in the minute.

"Looking at it this way, Wienet is still quite cute."

Aurelia looked at Venette in Donn's arms, and after hiding the devil's features, she had completely transformed into a cute little human girl, although her purple hair and pupils were a bit conspicuous, but it was not without this hair color and pupil color in humans, so she didn't have to worry too much.

"Then you take it back and raise it?"

"Just, don't want it!"

Aurelia blushed, turned her back, and snorted, "It's too much to suddenly let me be a mother or something without even talking about love!" ”

“……”

What kind of tsundere are you playing all of a sudden!

"Weenet's matter will be talked about later, let's get down to business first, the city lords of the remaining cities of Grace already have news, right?"

"Yes," Aurelia turned back and glanced at the arched Wienet, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes, "There are twenty-eight large cities in Grace, excluding the thirteen cities that you destroyed a while ago, and fifteen large cities, and these fifteen cities and the surrounding villages are concentrated in the lower areas of central and northern Grace, including seventy percent of Grace's population. ”

"If the lords of these fifteen cities declare their allegiance, it means that Grace has completely fallen under your control."

Tang En muttered, "It's quite refreshing for them to surrender." ”

"That's normal......"

Fiona complained, "Now there are rumors that Grace has angered you with Stanley, and as a result, you used legendary spells to destroy most of Grace in a fit of rage. Facing a peerless powerhouse who can use legendary spells, no matter how arrogant they are, it is impossible for them to be disobedient, right? ”

"What? I can't carry this pot! ”

It's obviously a good thing done by Horus, why did it become my back?

"I'm afraid you'll have to carry this pot."

Aurelia looked at Don with great sympathy: "As an emperor, it is not enough to be benevolent, it is not enough to be benevolent, but to make the people obey your rule, in the past, you were too accustomed to using the policy of softness, I am afraid that some people are not very obedient to you in their hearts, this time it is just right to extinguish those signs of restlessness in their hearts." ”

Venette dangled in front of Done, and Don pressed her head down hard: "Of course I know about this kind of thing......"

Aurelia said again: "What's more, even without the use of legendary spells, our military strength is already enough to crush them without pressure, only 50,000 of the 500,000 Grace army was killed by us, just this news has scared those guys enough, how can they still have the courage to resist your rule." ”

"Ollie is right."

Fiona agreed: "You don't need to show your personal strength, you can also become a solid backing for a stable country, what really makes us strong is the various powerful weapons and equipment you have developed, those weapons and equipment are too powerful, this is the real weapon of our unification of Plandal." ”

"Now, with the exception of Ronitant and the Wren Empire, the whole of Plandal can be said to have completely fallen into your hands."

Aurelia glanced at Don and asked, "Isn't your next target to be Ronitant?" ”

"Don't worry about it for now, just rebuilding Grace will be enough for us to keep us busy for a few years."

Don sighed, he didn't know what Aurelia thought, Ronitant's king Oscar, after all, is Olena's brother, that is, Aurelia's uncle, although the royal family has no family affection, but as long as it is not too stiff, there is still a little family affection after all, if Don wants to attack Ronitante, the biggest difficulty may be Olena.

"If you have a plan, don't worry about me and the queen mother, after all, we are well aware of your important mission."

"It's not that I don't care about you, in fact, Plandall is theoretically completely under my control now."

Don raised his hand and slowly clenched his fist, and then a fat little hand began to break his fingers, Don En's face stiffened, and the serious atmosphere collapsed instantly, he had to continue to play with Wienet, and then continued: "To control Brandal, it is not necessary to form a unity in the actual sense, as long as the entire Brandal people and resources can operate according to my will, and the entire social civilization can develop in my established direction, it is enough." ”

"As you said, although the Wren Empire and Ronitant have not yet been unified by me, but don't forget, now Testro looks like a brainless fan of the Tang Chamber of Commerce, the Wren Empire has been completely opened up by the Tang Chamber of Commerce from top to bottom, their food, clothing, and housing are all the products of the Tang Chamber of Commerce, and even their work to support their families is provided by the Tang Chamber of Commerce, and now the economic lifeline of the Wren Empire has been completely controlled by us, separated from the Tang Chamber of Commerce, They would return from civilization to primitive society again, so it would be impossible for them to rebel again. ”

"Although Ronitant has not yet fallen into that situation, it is because of Ronitante's policy restrictions, but with the last negotiation and the opening of treaty ports for duty-free import and export trade, our products will also accelerate into Ronnitante's market, quickly conquer thousands of households, and make them loyal users of the Datang Chamber of Commerce."

"And the next step, what we have to do is to use the influence of the Datang Chamber of Commerce to subtly change their thinking, so that they subconsciously recognize that Illuth and Ronitant are an inseparable whole, and at the same time, we can also help build some schools, factories, etc., to carry out 'correct' history education in a small area."

"If the army and weapons are our weapons to conquer the world on the surface, then the Datang Chamber of Commerce is our magic weapon to control the world secretly, you know, in a civilized society, mastering the economic lifeline of a country is equivalent to mastering the country."

"So, as long as my brother-in-law doesn't block me, I don't bother to care about him so much, let him continue to be his free king."

Speaking of this, Tang En shrugged: "Then again, if it is really necessary to let Ronny Tante return, I just need to treat the products of the Datang Chamber of Commerce differently, only provide them to the domestic market, and prohibit foreign exports, especially some of the more sensitive. Something important and important, so that the people can take the initiative to create a desire to return to the Empire of Ilrus, and I am worried that once the situation develops to this extent, my brother-in-law will be mad......"

Donn's words made Aurelia and Fiona stunned, but when they thought about it, they realized that what he said made sense.

What is the purpose of ruling a country?

Power?

Wrong, in fact, to put it bluntly, in the final analysis, it is not for wealth!

Because power makes money!

The king controls all the resources of a country and has the power to allocate them as he pleases, so he can maximize the benefits of wealth.

But if all the wealth that a king values most is earned by another person, then what does it mean for him to be a king?

Take Ronitant as an example, the reason why Ronitant was able to thrive in Prandal was because they had been promoting commerce and trade, and their economy was very vibrant, so the people's living standards were generally high, and their support for the king was also very high.

But if the Ilrus Empire inserts a lever and imports a large number of high-quality and low-cost advanced products, sweeping away all the wealth that originally belonged to Ronitant, then Ronitant's economic level will drop significantly.

How to deal with this situation?

Unless the country's products are better and more competitive, and at the same time the tariffs on imported products are raised to protect the country's industries - but the emergence of duty-free treaty ports has destroyed this possibility, and at the same time, the industrial products of the magic reform have the characteristics of Ronitant that cannot be simply copied, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of Ronnitant's overtaking in production.

Then it was further that the Datang Chamber of Commerce and Ronitant became an interdependent whole, and the government of Ronitante, who could not obtain wealth from other means, began to rely on the tax revenue provided by the Datang Chamber of Commerce, making the relationship between the two sides more inseparable.

At this point, the Datang Chamber of Commerce can actually control Ronitant's economic market, which means that it is impossible for Ronnitant to get rid of the shadow of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, and Tang En has achieved the goal of actually controlling Ronnitant.

The situation of the Wren Empire is more similar to that of Ronitant, but it is more exaggerated, as the Wren Empire is now in debt, and the current construction work is all paid for through overdrafts, and strictly speaking, the Wren Empire has now become a vassal of the Ilrus Empire.

But the inhabitants of the Wren Empire are still happy.

Why?

Their lives have changed for the better!

Because for the people, they don't care who the ruler really is, as long as life gets better, they are satisfied.

In this way, step by step, sooner or later, the whole of Plandal will become a whole.

And now, Grace is a key turning point.

A few days later, the Grace lords were taken to Bloodrock by the messengers, and Don showed them the castle's cats.

Then, without saying a word, these city lords all knelt on the ground and swore allegiance to Tang En.
