The light of the early morning was clean and peaceful, with the afterglow of the night, spreading the entire royal capital of Garcia.

It snowed overnight, and by this time, the rooftops of the streets of the entire city were covered with snow. The thick snow covered all traces and the hustle and bustle of last night.

At this moment, the king is too quiet, there is no one in sight, and even the people who usually get up in the morning market have disappeared.

After a night of noise, slaves, commoners, and nobles knew what was going on. It's just that they all chose to turn a blind eye to this dispute and were unwilling to get involved. To be precise, it's the fear of being involved.

Therefore, even if the sun is shining, no one wants to go out of their own home, waiting for a result.

The splendid royal palace is no longer alive in the past. The glorious palace, the courtiers are quiet.

The third prince, Lei Suo, sat on the throne where the old king sat in the past, wearing a crown on his head, brocade clothes and armor, as if he was a generation of kings.

Young, strong and ambitious!

This is the first and only impression of the new king by the great nobles below.

In the past, most of the Rayso appearances were brave warriors and wise commanders. But he didn't expect that the vigorous ambition hidden under his appearance would make this royal capital change color overnight.

Last night, Princess Anna wept bitterly and begged Reso to spare Siga's life, which made everyone still feel palpitated. For the great nobles, it didn't matter who sat on the throne, they were all members of the Toledo family anyway. But where will the new king take them?

Lei Suo used thunder to control this royal capital and gain the right to rule. But he couldn't do the same to make the country prosperous.

Turmoil may be coming, and after the coronation ceremony, there are many people in the palace who think so.

But Lei Suo didn't have the heart to pay attention to what this great nobleman thought, and as soon as he arrived, he hurried back to his office room.

It is a south-facing, two-story house with dense materials and drawings. The sun shines through the window and into the house, warm.

Resso casually put down the robe he was wearing outside, sat on the chair, looked at Will standing in front of him, and said, "I didn't expect you to really be able to catch Sancho." ”

Will smiled and said, "What does Your Majesty plan to do with him?"

"He is the crown prince of the Duchy of León, and presumably they will come to the royal capital soon. I'm going to give it to them, but before I do, I'm going to blackmail them a bit. ”

Resso was born in the military, but the words used are very vulgar, even if he is a king now, he has no intention of changing.

"Has Your Majesty ever thought of his other identity?"

"You mean?"

"The Brotherhood! This vast Assassin organization hidden in the South is only now revealing the tip of the iceberg. Sancho holds the Brotherhood and controls vital resources of the organization, and they will not sit idly by and watch it be caught. It won't be long before someone comes to his rescue. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Along the way!" Will said with a smile.

"If you want to do it, do it!" Reso did not approve or deny, but in an indifferent tone.

Obviously, the new king did not have much interest in this matter.

"You've been reading these materials for a long time, how about it?"

Rayso asked, holding the information in his hand.

"I've already seen it!" Will nodded, focusing his attention on the materials. He picked up a piece of parchment and said, "According to my statistics last night, Navarre's fiscal revenues, including customs duties, minerals, fisheries, and poll taxes, should be negative now!"

"Negative?" Resso stood up in surprise, took the parchment in Will's hand, looked at it carefully, and then sat down dejectedly, "How can it be negative?

"Shall I take a look?" Will picked up another piece of parchment, looked at the record on it, and said: "Military spending, public facilities construction accounts for a quarter, the royal family accounts for a third, the salaries of officials account for a quarter, and the rest should be embezzled!"

"Corruption?

"Up and down, the big head should belong to the Spark family. ”

"Damn! Rayso banged on the table angrily and said angrily.

"That's not what I'm worried about. Because even if this part is removed, Nawal's fiscal books are still a large deficit. Aside from military spending and salaries, only a small part of Navarre's public facilities were built, and most of them were used by the royal family. ”

"So what to do?"

"Save money on the royal family and put more money into public facilities. ”

"No problem!"

Rayso waved his hand and held out two fingers. For him, the extravagant life of the royal family is actually not important. "But I want to expand the strength of the two legions first. ”

Will took the parchment in the column of military expenditure, and said: "Now that there are three legions in the whole of Navarre, you have just succeeded to the throne, and if you expand two more legions, the cost of military spending will increase by nearly half in vain." When the time comes, the entire fiscal system will collapse. ”

"Is there anything you can do?"

"Confiscate the Sparks family's finances and put them into the treasury. However, this can only solve the temporary problem. If the fundamental problem is to be solved, the only way is to increase fiscal revenue. ”

"How?" Reso is an expert at marching and fighting, but an outsider at finance.

"On this continent, there are people with great wealth, which one do you think it is?"

"Magician, you want me to collect taxes from them?" said Rayso, surprised.

"Unless you don't want to be the king!" Will said disdainfully. He had never heard of a king who dared to collect taxes from a magician.

"And what do you mean?"

As long as Your Majesty has enough red salt resources, you will be able to attract more magicians to the royal capital of Garcia. Wizards are a group of people with great spending potential, and as long as they settle in the royal capital of Garcia, they will definitely be able to stimulate commerce and thus increase their financial income. ”

"It's good, but the red salt resources in the hands of the royal family have already been allocated, where can I find more red salt?"

Rayso hesitated, and inadvertently glanced at Will, and found that the other party was showing a smile on his face, a very treacherous smile.

"What do you mean..."

"That's right, I have quite a lot of red salt resources in my hands, which can be provided to Your Majesty at the market price, but..."

Looking at Will's smile, Reso shuddered inexplicably.
