Marr took a deep breath, Thorin was his proudest disciple, and even his successor. There must be a reason why he is so disregarded for his opposition. But Mal has come this far, and it will be difficult for him to retreat.

"Thorin, I've been planning for this for more than ten years, it's impossible to retreat, and it's unlikely that the old man in the Papal States will retreat. But I can try to avoid causing losses to Ortuno, and if I fail, you may have to provoke the war. ”

But Thorin said unappreciatively.

"Teacher, I'm ready, and I'm a second-level examiner, and no one in the party has a higher position than me except for the already advanced Dawan. ”

Instead of getting angry, Marl burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, if you have so much confidence, I'm relieved. ”

After dealing with the royal family, Wayne also breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there are no flies to bother me.

Moreover, the government of the imperial capital is also filled with his own cronies, and Wayne does not have to bow down to everything.

After catching his breath, Wayne was finally able to let go. Now Wayne is in power, and he can make a big difference. Of course, the aristocracy still can't get around the hurdle.

Imperial capital was the cultural, political, and economic center of Rune. The information here can spread throughout Rune extremely quickly, and other areas of Rune will also subconsciously imitate the imperial capital. It can be said that in many ways the imperial capital is the leader of the other cities of Rune.

And Nolan can be said to be run by Wayne himself, and his biggest advantage is the emerging pioneer ideas, and half a foot has not yet stepped into the industrial factory.

Now Wayne intends to break down the gap between the two cities, and he needs to quickly transform the imperial capital. Let it be the next Nolan. At the same time, the vast territory of Creon and Nils is also a chessboard that he can indulge in.

After thinking for a long time, Wayne played a chess game.

Tariff!

Merchants who did not pass through a city, whether they continued or stayed, had to pay a certain tax at the lord's palace according to the value of the goods.

Some are half into one, and some are one into one. This almost seriously deprived the businessman of his interests. Half of the ten here, one of the ten seems to be very little. But it refers to the value of the goods, not the profit. Thirty percent of the principal could have been earned, which is considered a great business. Wayne's steel is like that.

The government also has to take a 10%. Coupled with the risk of transporting goods, this tax rate is a serious blow to business.

Wayne had to reduce the tax rate first, and Nolan and Wasser's tax was almost only 0.3%. Wayne is going to make this way to the territory of Phuket to Creon and Nils.

But this is another question, with such a low tax, where can the money be used to support the government agencies, the city defense army, and the guard corps. There will be no money to hand over to the lord.

Wayne is not short of money, even Audrey plus the expenses of the palace he can support.

So the question is, where does the money come from for the other three parties?

Wayne's answer was that the central government was centrally controlled, and the salaries of the personnel of each government agency, the expenses of the city defense army, and the guard were all covered by the Creon family.

Of course, it seems to be a good thing, but at a glance, it can be seen that the castle lord has been deprived of his financial rights. On the other hand, if the city lord is gone, if he can't use taxes to enrich himself, he will lose his enthusiasm for governing the city.

This is also a good solution to the problem of taking advantage of the rise and fall of the position and the level of salary. Of course, there are better ways to do it, but it will take time.

In order to complete this plan, Wayne first had to propose this plan and apply it preliminarily.

Wayne wrote his thoughts down on the resignation letter to be handed over to Audrey.

After writing, Wayne greeted the representative from the family, his second Berniers Emerson.

"Wayne, you have to mourn, the death of the eldest brother is a big blow to us. Now that you are the leader of the family, you need to be stronger. ”

"Second uncle, please don't be sad, my father chose the way he hoped to die, and it is not a bad thing. ”

"That's right, it's a pity for Harun, Aaron. ”

But Emerson remembered the cause of their death and was speechless. It's worth a long sigh.

"I've done Harunn's funeral at home, and tomorrow I'm going to pay homage to my eldest brother and Aaron. ”

"Well, is the second uncle here for the management of the family territory?"

"Yes. ”

A big nobleman like Nils usually does not stay in the territory if it is not necessary, but will live in the imperial capital, on the one hand, to mediate politically, and on the other hand, to pay attention to the latest political trends.

But this is a bit far away from the family territory, and it is inconvenient to govern. So Nils would entrust one person, and while he was alive, he would entrust his younger brother. That is, Wayne's second uncle.

Although Emerson's ability is mediocre, he is fortunate to have no ambition and is loyal to his family. It's honest enough to describe him appropriately.

This kind of talent is the best person to manage the territory on his behalf.

And Wayne's second uncle is like that. As is customary, he will also be put into management. The family has already said hello, and now it needs the consent of the successor Wayne.

It stands to reason that Emerson is Wayne's elder, and it stands to reason that Wayne should be polite to him. But he still made a special trip to the imperial capital for this matter that could be explained in the letter.

Wayne certainly couldn't say no.

To Wayne's surprise, Emerson also took out a thick ledger from his suitcase.

"Wayne, it's not necessary, but I think I'd give you a look. This is the amount of income, expenditure, and, of course, inventory in the territory in recent years. Oh, I also brought 100,000 gold coins, the imperial capital has a lot of expenses, I'm afraid you won't have enough money. ”

Wayne.....

Now Wayne has no way to refuse the second uncle, no! Now if anyone says that the second uncle is not suitable to manage the family territory, Wayne will take out the forty-meter-long Italian bombardment tnd.

In the evening, Wayne was on his way to the palace again. Help Audrey review various resignations. After all, Audrey didn't have to work in government affairs, and she still needed Wayne's assistance.

Of course, Rune is a vast area with a large population. Although most of the area was governed by the aristocracy, there was still a lot of government affairs. All resignations will go through Wayne's improvised cabinet.

The members include scholars and city lords who have been promoted temporarily.

They sifted through all the resignations and submitted the ones that had important content.

So Wayne's resignation today, back to Wayne. Wayne looked at it and ticked it without hesitation.

"Wood, or you take care of it for me, come on. When I saw these resignations, I wanted to sleep, and I came home all night dizzy. You're mine now anyway. ”

After no one was in private, Audrey began to be 'presumptuous'.

"That's not good, if you don't even have this ability to suppress the people below. You haven't touched the more complex balancing tricks. ”

Audrey sneered.

"Oops, I'm sick of it. This emperor should give them to forget it, anyway, I don't bother to be. ”

Wayne smiled. Asked without a trace.

"How are you and Pete. ”

Audrey laughed.

"Hee-hee, you're jealous, this was your idea, no wonder me. ”

"So you guys?"

"Don't worry, he's honest. I glared at him and shuddered, sullen in the palace all day. It makes me feel a little guilty. ”

When Wayne heard this, he was inexplicably a little happy.

"Go back, give him some money, and let him have a good time. ”

Audrey nodded, and suddenly said inexplicably sad.

"Do you say that we are adulterers again?"

Of course, Wayne knew that Audrey was heartless, and she would be sad when her father died. If someone scolded her, she wanted to arrest that person, not beat her, of course. It's a dignified quarrel until the quarrel wins. So Audrey mostly looked panicked, and Chu Chu's pitiful appearance was mostly pretended.

Enhandway stretched out to Audrey and smiled wickedly.

"Hehe, or we'll be adulterers for a while tonight. ”

"You're so bad. ”
