360 Shift
The dark clouds that hung over the whole of Neustria, the Demon King who had crossed over from the other world, did not pay much attention to the fate of her (nominally) stepmother, she did not even go to the scene of the execution to watch, nor did she ask the prison to report to her her stepmother's last words - she had more and more important things to do, and the death of a former countess who had lost power, whether she died unjustly or not, could not be a reason to disturb the queen of all things.
Although Adair is full of blood and does deserve to die, and Lady Helena did die unjustly this time, so what?
Adair took the initiative to defect to her, and she also tried her best to accept him at that time, because of this alone, she must not blame the past, otherwise how will she recruit the enemy next time? What's more, he is indeed very useful in balancing Francis and helping her cultivate the navy, his own tribe is small in number, and he is not a native Neustrian, and the possibility of making waves in Neustria is much lower than Francis, so the Great Demon King actually knows Lady Helena's accusations, but his first reaction is to stuff her to Emily, who has a father's fighting style in law enforcement, and after finding that her accusation has not attracted anyone's attention, Simply and quickly executed her.
Anyway, when Adair is about to rebel one day, the church can immediately find a few "eyewitnesses" who have no worries for her, so that she can "suddenly realize", and then raise the banner of "killing her father and hating the sky" to crusade, if they can't even do this, they are not worthy of "eating by mouth"! So Luo Yi didn't mean to save the life of this titular stepmother at all, she was too worthless, just her funny conspiracy. He didn't even have the qualifications to be sent to the Eternal City as an enemy pig teammate, so why waste food alive?
The first step in the political arena is not the imperial examination, nor the inheritance of blood, but the scumbag who bribed the big devil to buy officials. has been upgraded to the level of the queen of all Neustria, and she will not be unable to eat and sleep at all because she has wronged her vicious stepmother. I'm not afraid of the unjust ghost knocking on the door in the middle of the night, I don't even have this awareness, what kind of political arena am I mixed in! It's better to go home early and have a baby!
In fact, she is more afraid that her subordinates will come to slam the door in the middle of the night, which either means that the enemy is coming, or it means that there is a leak in her policy and she needs to go out to wipe her ass...... God, even with so many busy official duties, it is not easy to sleep peacefully in an office with more and more clutter and more and more crowded...... Thankfully, these are a thing of the past!
After the inauguration of the National Cathedral. Her new palace has also broken ground!
The palace where Luo Yi lives now is still "received" by her from the previous dynasty, and at that time, she even took the furniture and chopsticks in the palace to fill in the common use, so let alone renovate, even the painting was not served, and she lived in it after cleaning. Later, the wives and children of Adair and others were stuffed into her palace as hostages, and the result was that the poor Great Demon King could only sleep in the office.
Even without these prerequisites, the palace itself does not meet the expectations of the Great Demon King.
Aronael is known as the "capital" of Neustria. The geographical location is also very superior, the transportation is convenient, the products are abundant, and the population is large, which is why the Great Demon King did not continue to live in Turnest, but relocated the court and people to Aronael. But. Aronael's "capital" is actually quite substantial, it was the capital of Neustria during the ancient empire, after the collapse of the ancient empire......
It is different from the general perception of the "imperial court" in Chinese. The Archdemon King was the orthodox royal family before Neutria, whose royal court moved irregularly between the four major cities of Neutria. Aronael, like Tournest, is nothing more than one of the four cities. Annually. The royal court would come to Aronael, collect tribute, hear the people's pleas and make rulings, and hunt in the nearby hunting grounds, the difference between a visit to Tournest was probably the length of time? Oh and Aronael is the archbishop's diocese?
The royal court moved back and forth like this, not for any romantic reason, but on the basis of very real interests.
In the first place, the roads in the various regions of Neustria were extremely bad thanks to the aristocrats who were so active in "collecting taxes according to law" as Baron Brad, that is, digging holes in the roads waiting for the merchants' wagons to overturn. Secondly, the agriculture of the regions of Neustria is no different from the wild plants, thanks to the active efforts of the nobles to attack each other. Finally, these nobles could not read and write, and they lacked any sense of respect for kings, bishops, and even the gods of heaven.
These reasons converged into one result, that is, if the royal court stayed in one place, I am afraid that all of them would starve to death...... Nearby agriculture is not enough to feed so many people who are out of production, and other places to send tribute? Sima Qian said in "The Biography of Historical Records and Colonies", "You don't sell wood for a hundred miles, and you don't sell for thousands of miles", why? Cost issues! However, Sima Qian probably couldn't imagine that some local nobles would "dig pits and collect taxes according to law" and destroy good roads to the point that they could not be used, otherwise he would probably write "a hundred miles do not sell money".
Because the cost of transporting tribute under the existing conditions is too staggering, the royal family has to adopt a relatively small cost method, that is, "if the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain", and if the tribute cannot be delivered, I will go to the place where the tribute is produced to eat!
For example, someone took the records of a certain estate in the Middle Ages and swore that there was no marriage tax in the Middle Ages, but they didn't know that even if it was a British island, the rules were completely different from place to place. The Middle Ages lasted for a thousand years, and there were countless large and small countries horizontally, with many sects and more ethnic customs, and it must not be generalized.
The royal family of Nyustria's neighbor Kolomna did not have the trouble of traveling all year round, because half of Kolomna's land was turned into a wilderness by the raids of the Rakkadian and Karamans, and the other nearly half of the country, the ruling nobles did not bother to eat at the court, so the scale of the court was very small, and it was enough to travel between the various estates directly under the royal family, and it was enough to rely on the production of those estates. On the contrary, there were enough products in the vicinity of the Eternal City, and more pilgrims volunteered to send tribute, and the Pope would not be able to travel around the world with the Holy See.
Since Aronael's palace is actually just a palace, its size and scale can be imagined, and it definitely does not meet Luo Yi's expectations, to be honest, it is not as grand as the cathedral left by the missionary saints next to it, Luo Yi had a very good intention to grab a room with the archbishop at first, but after breaking his fingers and calculating which one is more profitable, the big demon king who is a fan of wealth has to hum and curl up and sleep in the office.
Now, when the National Cathedral is completed, the construction of a new royal palace with a large number of bedrooms to use has finally begun under her false public beneficial! (To be continued......)
