In the empty palace, Empress Pars couldn't help but remove her ass from the throne and stood up. www.biquge.info She was wearing a crimson floor-length dress, the lines and patterns outlined by the golden silk threads made her look extravagant, and the exposed shoulders and collarbones outside the clothes made people inexplicably excited. With each step, the trembling chest made people afraid that their clothes would be torn and exposed.

The well-trimmed eyebrows were full of heroism, and Wren played a role in this, telling the Empress of Pars that she should trim her eyebrows, at least to make herself look more imposing. Empress Pars quickly accepted this suggestion, and changed her originally good-looking eyebrows into angular and angular, and also three points more heroic and sharp.

"How? did he agree?", Empress Pars's graceful voice echoed in the empty palace, her voice was full of majesty, giving people a very intuitive feeling that the owner of this voice must be in power and control the life and death of many people. She was a little nervous, and before she knew it, her fingers were clenched into fists.

Ganwen's solemn face made her a little nervous, and she didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Ganwen nodded. At Wren's coming-of-age ceremony, she had reached a preliminary consensus with Wren, and Gan Wen went to talk to Wren this time in order to refine the content of the transaction, but she was not at ease. Hell knows if that guy will pick on something else halfway. Fortunately, everything went as she had imagined, and Wren agreed.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and her mood became much better, and she personally walked down the steps and poured a glass of wine for Ganwen. The two sat on the sofas where the ministers sat and chatted.

"Did Wren make any unacceptable demands this time?", Empress Pars shook the wine glass in her hand, she had been under a lot of pressure lately, otherwise she would not have had a spring breeze with Wren that night. She needs to release her pressure, and love is obviously the most convenient one.

The amber drink reflected an intoxicating sheen, and Gamwen hesitated, "I'm not sure if this is an unacceptable request." ”

Empress Pars tilted her head to look at Gampon and raised her chin, "Tell me about it." ”

He made an argument that if he wanted to replace the death redemption with immunity, then the gold aristocracy and the royal family would have to be at the forefront. We will become the guide and example of the aristocratic class, and use our real cases and personal actions to dispel the hesitation of those nobles. He made a special point, that is, you must lead by example, otherwise it will be difficult for the nobles to believe that this immunity will be more meaningful to them than the ransom. ”

Empress Pars put down her glass in a daze, and fell into deep thought. Wren agreed so readily and gave such excellent advice that Queen Pars couldn't believe that the guy was really Wren and nothing else. Wren's suggestion was very pertinent, at least that was the first impression of Empress Pars, and Wren was a little too unusual this time. She tried to deduct something special from between the lines, line by line, but after reversing it upside down and thinking about it several times, she still didn't find anything further.

Could it be that Wren has changed sex?

No way!

He must have a deeper purpose, otherwise he would not have agreed so happily, after all, he was also one of the beneficiaries of the death redemption.

After thinking for a long time, Empress Pars asked solemnly, "Then what do you think, is he plotting something?"

Gan Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head, with an indescribable suspicion on his face, "This is exactly what I don't understand, maybe Count Rennes also senses that the aristocratic class has become a disaster." I thought about the advice he put forward, and it was not honest and to the point, if you and us gold nobles did not stand up and show their attitude first, those nobles would never change their position. ”

"The death ransom has been implemented for 373 years, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if you want to change it in a short period of time, you must not only have someone to play a guiding role, but also need a certain amount of encouragement. Ganwen said very sincerely, he was a very smart man, and he also knew the benefits of centralization, whether it was for himself or for posterity, he had to help Empress Pars accomplish this goal, even if it was at his own expense, he did not hesitate.

Sacrificing an old thing for him, his children will benefit from it, and in the future, as long as the empire does not perish, any emperor must give him and his family enough respect. Ganwen didn't expect any of his descendants to be able to carry his burden, he just hoped that the family would not disappear into the long river of history like the other four extinct families because of the passage of time.

Empress Pars nodded cautiously, "Where do you think this is the best place to start?"

Gan Wen's eyes lit up, and the answer blurted out: "Taxes!"

Because of the tax problem, Orlando II abandoned the sword and launched a protracted civil war, which was related to the finances of the empire, as well as local finances and construction issues.

The lords were faced with the question of how much more they could take after the empire had pumped the taxes? The more they had sucked, the commoners in the territory would not swallow their anger, they would roll up their bunks and leave the territory directly, and emigrate to live in other territories with cheap taxes. In order to avoid a shortage of peasants and inhabitants in their own domains, most of the nobles imposed very little local taxes on their fiefs, occupying only one-tenth of the appearance, and in some places there was not even a tenth.

This is also one of the reasons why there are so many chambers of commerce in which the nobles participate, and even smuggle, especially those nobles who have no mineral deposits and resources in their fiefdoms, are smuggled to a crazy level. There are so many sea ships in Alexandria, and almost all of them are supported by nobles. If they don't, they won't be able to get more money to sustain themselves.

Yes, most of the nobles are very rich, but on the other hand, the richer the aristocracy, the more places they need to spend money. Especially those lords who have fiefs, the fiefs are their own, not the state, and in order to build their fiefs well, the annual investment in construction is a huge amount. Yes, the lack of various social resources in the fiefdom cannot attract enough people to settle down, and the common people are not stupid, they will still run when they should run.

So as soon as Gan Wen opened his mouth, it was a tax.

Taxation is indeed a big killer, and if you relax a little, it will attract many nobles to flock to it, and they will support the policies of the Empress Pars for the sake of taxes.

Empress Pars nodded and took a deep breath, "Then do as you say, how do you think it's best to adjust?"

"Let the proportion of nobles withheld be increased by another two percent!"

Early the next morning, the entire imperial capital became extraordinarily lively, and on the 15th, it was the day of the regular meeting of the Imperial Diet, which had a very special significance for the imperial capital and the entire empire. No one knows what a adopted policy and regulation will bring to the young empire. In particular, the appearance of civilian parliamentarians gave the Imperial Diet unprecedented attention.

Early in the morning, the news gatherers of various newspapers crowded outside the Parliament Hill, holding notebooks and pens, and "rounding up" any member of parliament as much as possible. The parliamentarians also liked these "journalists", at least for now, and they could use their pen and paper to convey their ideas to everyone in every class throughout the empire, and to seek more supporters.

There are other things involved, but it is not obvious at the moment, that the parliamentarians promote their ideas to attract businessmen.

Businessmen, both and without the United Party of Commerce and Industry, found that money played an equally important role in this sacred political center. They tend to throw money at policies that are critical to their cause, or bribe some legislators with money, to approve their proposals. At present, the empire has been aware of this, but there is no mature method to come out, so it can only be left alone.

The legislators were surrounded by groups of reporters, and it was very lively.

When a horse-drawn carriage with a golden family emblem slowly drove into Parliament Hill, most of the reporters scattered in a hurry and gathered around.

"Count Wren, I have heard that you support the proposal of the Party of Truth, can you tell us why you support the Party of Truth? Aren't you in an irresolvable contradiction with Randolph?", the reporter of the Reichsette rushed to the front, and a large paragraph passed through his mouth, and it took a short time to spit out all of it, and the words were very clear.

Jasmine and Blair stood by Wren's side, pushing the crowding reporters out of the way, leaving enough space for Wren to move forward. He raised his head slightly, he was really too lazy to talk to these reporters, who knows what they would write? This point, in fact, is inextricably linked to Wren himself, if it weren't for the original for Hellandorf, Wren made all kinds of out-of-context quotes, it would not have caused everyone to have a style of learning one by one.

"Count Wren, I heard you're a pedophile, right?"

"Count Wren, there is a folk saying that there is an ulterior secret between you and Baron Sarcomo, how do you want to explain it?"

Standing inside the gate of the Reichstag, Wren glanced back at the reporters who had dispersed in search of a new target, and said to Jasmine: "Check the reporters who asked me about my relationship with Sarcomo just now, and see who is behind them!"

The relationship between him and Sarcomo is not as complicated as the outside world thinks, and the two have always been a relationship of exploitation and willingness, and to put it bluntly, they are partners in a kind of transaction. It's nothing, but if you want to use it to make a fuss, it's not impossible. Even if it is not possible to attack Rennes politically, but in terms of public opinion, it can make Sarcomo passive.

There is no more exciting news that the leader of a party is a lackey of the aristocracy, and the ignorant commoners will enjoy the topic and cause rifts within the industrial and commercial party.

The purpose of these people is probably not sincere, and it is worth pondering.
