Solomon reclined on the fur couch in the box, looking boredly at the posters on the wall waiting for the arrival.

Dealing with the Duke of Bourbon and his son almost wiped out the excitement and pleasure he had generated from the traffic blueprint in the past few days, and it was really uncomfortable.

However, for the time being, you still need to be patient and endure each other for the sake of the country, after all, the external environment in Asturias is not very friendly now, especially after falling out with the Church of Light.

If it weren't for Titania, it's hard to say whether the Church of Light would have directly intervened with arms after the failure of the comeback in Asturias, and where would it have given a few more years to develop.

If there is an opportunity to weaken the old aristocracy led by the third duke, Solomon does not mind, but it certainly cannot be used by military means.

So what is the most appropriate and effective way to weaken them, and perhaps the most appropriate and effective way is to weaken them economically.

However, after the coup d'état, although the kingdom's economy entered the capitalist period of rapid development, and industry and commerce had greater freedom than before, the old aristocracy was still quite conservative, they still controlled a lot of land, but not everyone was willing to get involved in industry.

Nobles like Count Philip actively invested in industry and magic research, he was more open-minded, and he had always been close to Solomon, and after Edward's death, during the period of William and Margritte, he was not too proud in politics, and was in idleness, until Solomon decided to overthrow Margaret, and only then did he ask for Yusuf through his connection with the Church of the God of War, which also brought Philip new opportunities in politics. Prior to that, Philip had not only opened two factories, but also invested privately. Hire some magicians to study what. It's just not coming out yet.

But aristocrats like the Third Duke were much more conservative. They also saw an opportunity for new industries to create wealth, but the old thinking made them habitually hold land instead of building factories on the land to make profits, and they were more obsessed with the previous model of xenoconquest and plunder, and from this point of view, they were also strong supporters of xenoplane colonization.

So the last time the church wanted to reclaim the land in the church property, Solomon took the opportunity to enclose the land for their idea. But the black cauldron was on the church and on Margaret's head, and they rejoiced.

At that time, it was a good way to win the situation, the old nobles and the new class took the opportunity to take a lot of land, and many of the land received by the old nobles were later resold to the new merchants to build industries, and everyone cooperated happily.

But the rapid growth of industry and commerce caused merchants to continue to covet the land in the hands of the old aristocracy, especially those outside Saint-Quentin.

The Medici, Bourbons, and Byron were most willing to invest in mining based on land, including the land after the conquest of the heterotopes, and they all wanted to get a monopoly on the concession land.

Mining is, of course, also part of industry. And it is the most basic and upstream supply chain, which is the most active industry that the three dukes have invested in outside of the land to date.

Commercially. They also like and look forward to exclusive business routes, as exemplified by the Liguria mentioned in the afternoon tea.

However, Solomon did not intend to destroy them by force, which would divide them and cause civil war, and the best way to do this was to destroy them economically and force them to convert themselves.

But the families of the three dukes are indeed very cautious, they do not lightly get involved in financial fields such as stocks, nor do they lightly borrow money, and the situation that Solomon has, they almost got involved in stocks is only the Bourbons seem to have the will to issue stocks, and now it seems that it is very likely that they want to form a larger expedition to conquer Liguria.

Anyway, he still has a lot of time, he can afford to wait, Solomon rubbed his temples, if there is a chance to pit the Bourbons, he doesn't mind pushing it, he still remembers that he was pitted by Kraussa once when he debuted, although it was a blessing in disguise, but this is by no means a reason for him to be grateful.

But soft means can only wait for opportunities, and there is no hurry.

He stopped thinking and looked at the pictorial on the wall, which showed Catherine in her disguise, and in her current costume.

After the defeat of the Times Theatre from Hayden, it was later taken over by a certain earl as its own property.

This earl was backstage at one of the two rival theaters that had almost knocked out Hayden, and of course he did not dare to do anything when Hayden had climbed the line of Solomon in the past. But then Hayden wanted to curry favor with William and provide a private place for William's tryst with his mistress, and although William's death was not to blame, it still caused him great trouble, and he was released after exhausting his family wealth.

And this made Solomon reluctant to shelter Hayden anymore, so the Count was able to take over Hayden's estate.

And the more invisible idea of the earl was to get close to the Prime Minister, so after taking over the operation of the theater, he repeatedly invited Solomon to visit.

Since Solomon became the queen's husband, he has restrained his voice, and he has rarely set foot in entertainment venues, and the industry in Shadow Animation has almost completely been taken care of by Lizzie, and Mikot has become another emerging leader in the film industry in recent years.

Today's film is co-produced by Solomon's Shadow Animation Company under the leadership of Lizzie and Mikot's company, and the reason why the new owner of the Times Theater invited Solomon to watch the premiere is because the script for this film was provided by Solomon.

Solomon wrote a lot of "famous" scripts when he started in the Free City, but then gradually faded out, and he never let go of the Shadow animation, because he had to master certain propaganda tools, but with the agent of Lizi, he could achieve the goal, and after coming to San Quentin, he wrote fewer and fewer scripts, only for Catherine and sometimes wrote it.

Before the coup, his latest script was a script outline for Micot's company to enter the film industry, which could not be strictly considered a script, because he only provided ideas, and asked for some beautification based on Micot's own experience, plus crazy, domineering, dazzling, and cool film names.

So although his name has always been thunderous and well-known among playwrights, it has honestly not been unique in recent years. There are quite a few playwrights who have written excellent new plays.

However, this time he wrote a script for Catherine, which opened up a new genre of film. Contemporary drama. That is, a story written in the context of the present or recent era.

There was a soft knock at the door, and a slender figure slipped into the best box in the grand theater like a ghost.

Catherine threw herself into Solomon's arms, her soft buttocks sitting directly on his lap, and she greedily began to kiss.

Solomon put his arms around her, and the two of them intertwined their tongues until they were a little out of breath.

"You should have come to me dressed in a pictorial dress. Solomon put his arm around her and jokingly pointed to the pictorial on the wall with the other.

In the pictorial on the wall, Catherine plays a woman standing in the fog in a dark blue bodycon dress, her full breasts that seem to tear her clothes. She carried the basket and looked at a blurred back in the distance, sad with determination and hope.

"I don't want Her Majesty to tear me apart. Catherine laughed, but her smile involuntarily flashed unnatural.

Solomon didn't want to mention this topic either, with his current status, if he needed a mistress, he would have a lot of them, including the third duke, who might not mind his family daughter becoming his mistress, but Solomon didn't have the heart or energy to have fun.

However, some of the previous women, he is not easy to abandon.

He is now among three lovers. The most worry-free is the Black Rock dwarf Nia, who has few requirements for herself. It's just that sometimes he will curry favors in front of Solomon for the sake of the country of Fist of Stone and his brother.

Solomon had moved her from the Blackstone Fortress to Asturias and bought her a villa in the Free City, where she lived. Solomon spent the least amount of time with her in recent years, only going once every six months, and every time he was happy with her, he always felt guilty about bullying young girls.

She always served Solomon with all her heart, with little complaint, and only occasionally showed concern for Solomon. Solomon gave her a faint apology, which led him to grant her a request to allow the nobles of the Kingdom of Stonefist to travel to and from Asturias on visas.

Compared to the Land of Fist of Stone, Asturias is a complete paradise.

In the past, when Solomon's status was not high enough, he needed to block the situation of the Kingdom of Stone Fist so that no one would covet it, but with his current status, he was no longer afraid of this, and the origin of Black Rock was not unique to the Black Rock plane.

Then there is Catherine in front of her, the meeting between the two is quarterly, Solomon is busy, not to mention the queen's husband, more attention than before, Catherine is getting more and more popular, and the film premiering today is more likely to be a new milestone in her career.

The pictorial on the wall, next to Catherine, is printed with the name of the film, Gone with the Wind.

This time, Solomon borrowed from Mitchell's work, but the background of the Civil War period in the United States was just before and after the brief civil war in Asturias and the coup d'état in St. Quentin, and even the names of the characters were copied.

Catherine plays Scarlett, a cat-like woman, she is young, headstrong, but brave, dares to love and hate, she spends most of her time in love with Ashley without reciprocation, and Rhett loves her.

Solomon did not change these relationships, but transplanted them to the previous years, when the church made a comeback and shocked Asturian society, leaving some small and medium-sized nobles and manor owners in the family to fall overnight because they had to return their religious property.

So the people rose up and eventually formed the Aldrich rebel army that overthrew Magritte, and by the way, the Duke of Aldrich, who had succeeded in political speculation, was rewarded with his satisfaction after the fact, not only successfully entered the House of Lords, but also served as the deputy speaker.

In the film, after pursuing Scarlett to no avail, Rhett participated in the Battle of St. Quentin and survived, and after the war, Scarlett married her, but still obsessively loved Ashley, until Rhett decided to leave completely after the death of her daughter, and realized that what she needed was Rhett.

Solomon used this film to bring the final justice of the overthrow of Magritte, which is exactly the purpose of his propaganda tools.

But Catherine's performance in it will also give her a new take-off, and when Solomon decided to write this script and decide on the heroine, it was very intuitive that Catherine was also a cat-like woman.

Now the cat had stripped naked, lifted its skirt, sat on top of him, and began to gallop.

She gasped and shouted merrily, "I am now riding the man of Her Majesty's Majesty." ”

Solomon's response was to slap her plump buttocks hard, slapping her soft, and she couldn't help but lie on top of Solomon.

The most intimate parts of their bodies were still tightly together, and Catherine moaned, her eyes like silk.

Only in the bottom of her eyes and in the deepest part of her heart did she have a trace of remorse.

She is actually doing well now, except that she can't be casual in terms of voice and color, because although only a few people know about her relationship with Solomon, the high-level of Lizzie, Obier, and Micot know, plus her own qualifications and hard work, are enough for her to live freely and pursue her acting career wholeheartedly.

Of course, this qiē is due to the influence of the man who is now under her crotch, under his aura, she can not only be sheltered, but he can also make her worship in the career she pursues, just like this Gone with the Wind.

It's just that she can't help but wonder if she didn't insist on pursuing her career when she was in Freedom City, but was willing to be the woman behind him, would it be better than now.

When this thought popped up involuntarily, she moved even more frantically.

Outside the box, the big white curtain on the floor below, Gone with the Wind has begun to be screened, but the two people in the box are enthusiastic and have no intention of watching.

And just so, and so well, Catherine threw aside a trace of remorse for the past in extreme joy, and collapsed on Solomon's body.

Solomon gently rubbed her hair and extremely elastic back and hips, and the negative feelings caused by the Bourbon father and son were swept away after the intimate encounter with Catherine.

Although Catherine is a bit like Scarlett in Gone with the Wind, she doesn't bother him too much yet.

Of all his women, the one most likely to cause him trouble was Agatha.

Fortunately, Solomon sparked her interest in the study of magic guidance, and she has been honest in the magic research institute for the past few years, only every ten days and a half months will she take the initiative to find Solomon crazy once like this. (To be continued......)
