It wasn't the first time Wren had seen Pars, he had seen it far away before. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Maybe those commoners will have some questions, relying solely on the day of birth to decide whether the crown prince will be too childish for the whole country, what if a fool is born, or what if a madman is born? In fact, this is all a misunderstanding of the common people about the royal family's way of selecting the crown prince, even if it is a fool and a madman, from the top education system of the empire, this fool and madman can have the ability to handle government affairs correctly.

The so-called elite education, to put it bluntly, is cramming teaching.

What happened on a certain day, what happened in such and such a year, what was the handling at that time, and what kind of consequences were brought. What is the right solution and what are the consequences?

Through cramming teaching, the real cases are constantly memorized until they are completely engraved into the depths of the crown prince's mind, like a lingering nightmare, which can be remembered anytime and anywhere. Even if you are a fool, when faced with the same situation, you can subconsciously make a correct enough judgment. As for other matters, the Imperial Prime Minister will take care of the small things that will not affect the fate of the country.

Conditioned reflex is the way of elite education of the royal family.

Pars has been in such an educational environment since she was born, reciting and learning year after year, without thinking about whether she understands and accepts, and first of all, she understands and how to solve these problems that have arisen. As for her personality and the concept of governance, that is something that can only be bred after she has been unanimously approved by everyone.

This time may be long, but it can also be extremely short.

Wren was so calm when confronted with the familiar stranger again that he didn't seem to take Pars's status and what she meant.

The gold aristocracy is essentially equal, no one is more noble, and no one is lower.

Now that Pars is the head of the royal family, she is on par with Wren.

"I've heard you're doing a good job in Ortrenburg. Almost everyone who meets with Wren will use this sentence as an opening statement. In addition to the fact that Wren is really doing well, it is also a means of chatting. Everyone likes to listen to nice words, and likes to be admired and praised for their proudest actions, and even the gods can't do without the praise of the choir, let alone a mortal?

Wren kept a polite smile, his arms tucked around his waist, and he bowed slightly, "You've complimented, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do." ”

Pars's appearance is not the kind of beauty that makes people stunned at first sight, it can only be said that she is middle-upper, but she has a temperament that other women will never have. The additional points brought by her identity and status made her only seventy points in appearance, and it jumped to eighty-five points. There is a pair of narrow eyes under the long eyebrows, which naturally narrow into a slit when he laughs, these eyes are not big, but they are extremely attentive. She looked at Wren and bowed slightly, "I'm just telling the truth, the franchise is very interested, including my father, me, and others. I would like to ask if it is appropriate for the royal family to take control of this franchise. ”

Unlike other politicians, but most likely deliberately, Pars didn't go around the bush and hit the nail on the head at the dinner table.

Wren began to pay close attention to the old emperor and prime minister from the time he created this franchise, and the funds of the imperial treasury basically came from taxes from all over the world, not including taxes from the territories that were divided. It can be said that the royal family, the largest aristocratic family in the empire, is no richer than other nobles. Not only did it cost a salary to each member of the imperial family, but it also had to spend a lot of money on some policies and construction of the entire empire.

The shortage of funds has always been a problem for the royal family, otherwise there would not have been a civil war that broke out because of tax resistance.

He pondered for a moment and said, "The royal family can take the lead, but you should know that the profits involved in this involve all kinds of interests, and if you don't want to go to war with all the noble groups, I suggest you slow down and start with the basics." ”

Pars put down the dishes, she had obviously lost interest in food, and she asked again: "Please tell me carefully, to be honest, I just ascended the throne, and I didn't know that the treasury was so tight before that, the whole empire is like a mess, it is difficult for me to clean up alone, I need everyone's help." "Especially you, Baron Wren, your actions have greatly eased your finances, how should I deal with this mess in my hands?"

Successive emperors did not have a good solution to the financial problems, and excessive taxation only led to contradictions between multiple classes, which eventually led to the outbreak of war. And to open up new sources of finance, the royal family has no good way, the royal family also has royal merchants, but the effect is not very good. If from the perspective of only one family, the profits brought by the imperial merchants are enough for the royal family to live a good life, but from the perspective of a country, that amount of money is far from enough.

The competition in business is also very fierce, especially the major aristocratic groups with the continuous advancement of centralization, has bred a sense of crisis, outside the imperial capital, the struggle between the imperial power and the aristocracy is almost everywhere. Squeezing the living space of the imperial merchants was only a trivial measure, and they increased the preferential treatment of the commoners under their rule, attracting more immigrants. Open up all kinds of trade routes and compete with the royal family.

The first thing Pars had to deal with when he came to power was money. She wants to sit firmly on the throne under her ass, and the first thing is to take out the interests of her hand to balance the conflicts that arise due to conflicting interests. Otherwise, she can only be like a puppet, and she doesn't even have the capital to display her political ambitions.

Wren hesitated for a moment, and decided to get some dry stuff out of it, as it was said, that the interests of the gold nobles were aligned, at least until there was no greater conflict. Of course, this did not prevent him from digging a small hole for the royal family.

"You can make something exclusive to the royal family, like some luxury, some special gems, or whatever. These things can only be enjoyed by the royal family, and only with the permission of the royal family, the nobles and wealthy merchants can use them to a limited extent. In this way, the royal family has monopoly power over certain goods, and you should understand that the greatest profit will always come from the monopoly. As long as these goods are monopolized, whether they are exported to other countries or authorized monopolies within the empire, a large amount of money can be raised for the national treasury. ”

This pit is dug to a very good level, if you want to give a score, ten out of ten points, Wren gave a full score for his little digging skills. It seems that this plan is perfect, and there are plenty of reasons and excuses, and in order to reflect the dignity and extraordinariness of the royal family, there is certainly a reason to make something exclusive to the royal family. And the steps will not be too big, and it will suddenly involve the interests of the nobles of the entire empire, and at the same time leave room for continued operations. But on the other hand, what will happen to the aristocrats and merchants who rely on these things for profit and suddenly lose their biggest income?

The first is to hate the policy of the royal family, after all, it is the royal family that takes these profits. The second is to consider how to use this new policy to its own advantage and profit.

There is an old Chinese saying that as long as Pars decides to use Wren's idea, the royal family is doomed to have conflicts with a small group of people. These contradictions are not usually apparent, just like the calm waters of a lake. But once it erupts, thunder and lightning are not enough to describe what if.

Pars thought seriously about Wren's suggestion. This is fundamentally the same as a franchise, but it is a better excuse and a better way to show the majesty and dignity of the royal family at all levels. She even extended the idea of using monopoly power to gather a group of forces loyal to the royal family, and these forces would be closely united by interests around the group headed by Empress Pars, forming a community of interests, a new aristocratic group, so as to counter other aristocratic groups.

As for the disputes and contradictions arising from this, it is not in her eyes, she only needs to choose those goods that will not create too much conflict. Besides, Rennes, a person who doesn't have much strength, can play the bells and whistles of monopoly management in Ortlenburg, why should she, the emperor of the empire, need to worry about so many things?

I have to say that a queen like Pars, whether it is her heart or mind, is closer to men, and even better than some men. She weighed the pros and cons in an instant, and her opinion of Wren was constantly improving.

She bowed her head reservedly, "Your suggestion is very pertinent, and it also has the possibility of practical action, I only represent myself, thank you for your support to the royal family." ”

"You've won the prize, that's what I should do as part of the Empire. ”

Pars changed the subject and turned to the privateer, "Baron Wren, I have also learned about the permission to plunder, how do you restrain these permitted armed forces from expanding indefinitely and thus affecting your rule? ”

Wren smiled, Pars, the empress, was very bold and smart enough. She saw the benefits of privateering, but she was also worried about it, and it was normal. The gap between information and the times has made people in this world not have as broad their horizons as Wren, and many things cannot be figured out.

Just like privateers, in fact, what restricts these plundering teams is not strength, but a kind of righteousness, a different kind of interest. Yes, once these armed forces become stronger, they may ignore Wren, but on the other hand, if Wren, the person who issued the plunder license, vetoes the righteousness of their existence and denies their contribution to Ortlenburg and the Empire, then in the end they are a group of bandits, a group of bandits.

When they are recognized, they hold the righteousness in their hands, and people will cooperate with them. When they lose their righteousness, people will only reject them according to the prevailing values.

The empire is so powerful, can it still be afraid of a group of robbers with roots?

No kidding, a provincial governor is enough to suppress these people, let alone an empire?

Moreover, the armed forces have plundered the materiel and always need to be cashed in. If they can't cash it in, what's the point of them guarding things that they can't eat, drink, or consume? What is the difference between things that can't be consumed and stones?

The one who always takes the initiative is the one who gives this power - Wren.

As long as the initiative is grasped, the armed forces are nothing more than playthings in the palm of their hands.
