Chapter 257: Interference

"Damn! It's another problem, it's up 5 percent today, 8 percent tomorrow, 10 percent the day after tomorrow...... Didn't I say that? Stabilize the price of cotton cloth, you pigs, can't you hear?"

At the Bandagarh Palace, in the early morning, Pavel's roar echoed through the gloomy office. The new king was so angry that his ministers bowed their heads and remained silent. Some of them were old ministers left over from the Ice Queen's time, while others were new ministers who had been promoted after the turmoil. The Ice Queen is rarely angry, she is ruthless, bloody and brutal, but she does rarely get angry. But the new king, Pavel, is often angry. No one dared to speak up, they were used to this kind of submissive environment.

"Speak, you shit!"

Pavel roared and slapped the table, but what he got was silence, the palace was like a pool of stagnant water, and after the wedding, there was no more noise.

"It's not their fault. ”

Outside the dark office, the queen's light voice sounded. Dennis walked in through the door, the crystal slipper clattering on the marble floor. Even without a wedding dress, she is still beautiful. A tight-fitting robe wrapped around her slender body, and on her shoulders hung an expensive embroidered gold cape. As soon as Dennis appeared, several ministers immediately turned around and saluted respectfully.

"Honey, why are you here? Didn't I tell me? I can handle these things myself. ”

Pavel hurriedly walked over and took Dennis by the hand.

"I care about you. It's almost noon, and you haven't come back yet, so I'll come over and have a look. ”

Dennis returned in a coquettish tone.

"Oh...... I've lost track of time......" Pavel quickly apologized, "By the way, you just said it wasn't their fault, if I heard me right, that's what you said?"

"Hmm...... My husband, my king, if I'm not mistaken, the cotton trade in Kislev has long been monopolized by the Bruce and Igna families, and the war has changed a lot, but there is also much that has not changed. ”

Dennis said, walking up to the ministers and looking at them with beautiful eyesβ€”

"My dear husband, my majesty the king, it is useless for you to accuse them, they also want to carry out your orders, stabilize prices, however, the control is not in their hands at all. ”

Dennis said, turning his head to look at Pavel.

Pavel came to his senses and immediately asked the ministers to step down first, and he had something to talk to the queen alone.

The door to the office was shut, and outside the door, a loyal Krem guard, no one was allowed to set foot in the foot. Only then did Dennis sit down and speak slowlyβ€”

"The price of cotton cloth is in the hands of these two families. Moreover, not only cotton, but other goods and commodities are also in the hands of these two large families, or in the hands of other families. Fortunately, these important materials have not been manipulated by grain and iron tools. At that time, although Caterina was brutal, the economic lifeline was still firmly in the hands of the royal family. ”

"Then I should take back control and let them let go of their power! Damn, who gave them the power to do such nonsense! ”

Pavel read indignantly.

"Aren't there some benefits that you promised them before?"

......

Dennis asked rhetorically, and Pavel was speechless. Indeed, at the beginning, in order to rebel against Katarina, Pavel, as a prince, had to rely on these aristocratic forces, and the nobles and nobles responded one after another, but this was just an exchange. It's just an exchange of interests. Now, the drawbacks are apparent. Of course, the problems encountered today are not so simple, Kislev's financially complicated family relationships are the result of decades of precipitation, and the two major families, Bruce and Igna, have been running the cotton business not for a day or two, but for decades. However, before the civil war, the exchange of interests exacerbated the situation.

"Honey, I'm not accusing you of anything......" chases Yo Literature

Dennis Bird was comforted.

"I know ......"

Pavel hung his head.

"I'll let them bring the price down! I promise! I won't let them mess with my kingdom!"

The king then shouted indignantly.

My king, it is useless to talk to them directly, they will perfunctory you, saying that they will do their best to keep the price down and give the people a warm winter. But in reality? They may ignore any of your arguments, they have so many excuses, that the market is not up to them, that they tried their best, and so on. Who will admit it, and who will dare to admit that they have manipulated the market? There are so many lies in the face of interests. Not to mention, they have their own army......"

Dennis guided step by step, and what she said was the truth, but unconsciously made Pavel think in some way......

"Army ......"

Pavel muttered to himself.

"This is a force that should not be underestimated, how they supported you in the beginning, it is possible to support others in the same way in the future. My Majesty, the inability to effectively issue and carry out orders has a lot to do with this force, does it?"

Dennis's words were like a spring breeze that blew into Pavel's heart. Indeed, no king would have allowed so many noble armies in his capital. Pavel was so desperate to prove himself that he wanted to show the whole Lady of Kithrie that he was a wise man, and the nobles were like hard rocks in front of him. By lowering prices, the people would be grateful to the king, but it would offend the interests of these families......

"Yes, yes, you're right, but what am I going to do? I can't kill them all, can I?"

Pavel's mood was a little agitated.

"Disband these armed forces, the war is over, we don't need so many 'militias' at all, what's more, these soldiers don't follow your orders at all, they only recognize their respective masters......"

Dennis went on to sayβ€”

"Dismiss them, and leave behind the knights who have sworn to you, the guards who truly belong to the king. There is no going to break the oath, is there no such thing? As for the militias, now, they are more useful in laying down their arms than in taking up them. ”

"However, Fergus and Igna, they are not fools, I want them to disband their troops, they will not obey. ”

"Then force them to comply. ”

Dennis said, with a mixture of coldness and harshness. She seems to have returned to her life in the magic academy, and if she is not tough, she will only be bullied and humiliated. Only the strong can survive on this land.

"The war is over, Kislev is at peace, and the nobles have no reason to support themselves. The city guards are strong enough to keep the city safe and stable, and the knights who are loyal to you can keep the palace and yours safe. Fergus: There's no reason for them to resist, can they?"

Dennis stared at the king in front of him, who was also his new husband, and said seriously and seriously.

"My king, my husband, rest assured, they dare not do anything, you have given them enough good, and if you are afraid of accidents, I will let the witches accompany you. It is urgent to gather power, otherwise, it will be difficult to do what you want to do in the future. ”

Dennis persuaded step by step, and Pavel was already moved...... He clenched his hands into a fist, confident again......
