While Solomon was visiting the Commodity Exchange, King Edward was receiving his new Chancellor, Regina, at the Perth Palace, the royal palace of St. Quentin.

The throne was silent before it, and Regina didn't speak, just stood quietly to the side.

Edward was looking intently at what he had presented, the book of construction that Solomon had written.

The kings of Asturias' generation do not seem to have the appearance of a hegemon, far from his ancestor Charles, the founding emperor, on the contrary, he seems a little elegant.

He has a pair of slightly melancholy eyes, the kind of eyes that can make women throb at a glance, a thin and pointed chin, and a somewhat thin body.

If he hadn't known his identity and had seen him in Perth Palace, he might have been more like a bard with a harp in his hand.

In fact, Edward is also in line with this, this majesty is not very close to the ancestor Charles, and there is only one queen in his life, on the contrary, his current queen is already the third, and there may be more ** behind his back.

"Loosen restrictions on merchants and open them to the right to trade freely between planes. ”

"Valuing commerce, checkpoints are no longer allowed on highways across the country. ”

"Give the merchants power and opportunity, and even allow them to go into the councils of the nobility to discuss taxes. ”

Edward looked at Solomon's writing, and from time to time read out the key points in it.

It was as if Regina had become a piece of wood, and he had not heard anything.

Before Edward read it and gave his opinion, he was only a listener, although he reviewed the book before presenting it.

"Hehe, he's really generous, and if he asks for so much for the merchants, what can he give? Let me see, what else did he say? Well, and it is not a trivial matter to establish a tax office that belongs directly to the kingdom and is collected on behalf of the royal family. ”

"Your Majesty, the establishment of the tax office, even if you allow it, will be a long-term task. Regina ended the silence and finally spoke.

"I know. Edward nodded, and continued to look at the paper in his hand, there were many words behind it, in addition to the explanations for Edward's various constructions, as well as the explanation of the construction matters, Solomon even mentioned the order of implementation of these constructions at the end.

"Sir Reginal, what's his name?" said Edward's expression at the last part, "I mean the author of the piece of music you presented.

"His name was Solomon, and he came from the Free City, which was just part of the kingdom's territory, and was the companion who accompanied him to St. Quentin as a proton. Regina replied.

"So he was just a wild mage not long ago, and he became a member of the Academy of Magic?" Edward frowned.

After receiving Regina's affirmative reply, Edward was surprised: "Then I have to admit that this guy is a bit powerful. ”

He raised the paper in his hand, "These things written are very thoughtful, and there are many of them that I have never thought of, well, you will definitely not think of them." The most rare thing is that he can not only come up with these ideas, but also give me a more complete analysis at the end, not only does not tell the meaning of each construction, but also points out the order of implementation. ”

Regina nodded, the text at the end is also very important, and it shows Solomon's ability even more.

"I see what he means, that's good. Edward complimented, "I need most of them, and I'm ready to implement most of them." If you do what you say, you can indeed reduce the royal family's dependence on the big nobles, as he said. However, in the short term, there seems to be a little less of a means in it, only by opening up the merchant's plane trade to get taxes, and how can the merchants teleport through the guò plane? Including the debt that was still bothering me the day before yesterday, Regina, do you think you can do it?"

In his book, Solomon only systematically expounds his ideas, and does not mention some details, such as how the royal family's debt is about to turn into a scandal.

The short-term way to obtain funds in the book is to immediately open up the various rights and interests of the heterogeneous plane, including the right to trade freedom open to merchants, and even boldly propose that the coordinates of the heterotopic plane can be auctioned, and then the royal family will grant various qualifications to obtain funds, such as privateer licenses, and risk qualifications, for which Solomon also requested the kingdom to set up a special commercial bureau, requiring every qualified merchant to form a trading company like Solomon's company, register the information and capital in detail, and formulate relevant management laws and laws, and prepare for a long-term court。

Asturias is customary law, there was no long-term court in the past, it was ruled by the lords according to customary law, if you appeal to Edward, but this is actually impossible, because the complaint is not so simple, the rednecks can't even recognize the road, not to mention that there can be a few people in this Perth Palace who can walk in casually, as for outside the palace, who can know Edward's whereabouts?

"Your Majesty, there is a solution to that debt, which is also this Solomon. Regina verbally stated the solution proposed by Solomon that day, and then said, "And he has already gone to visit the merchants of the commodity exchange today, and if it goes well, I will return in a moment, and there will be good news." ”

"Well, it seems that I am the most disadvantaged here? This Solomon is really bold enough to offer the royal family's interests in the Mithril Mine as collateral. ”

"But I can't think of a better way at the moment. Regina reminded.

"Well, then according to what he said, in short, this debt must be extended. Edward had a headache, he had great power, he was the king of the country, but this small debt made him helpless.

"This Solomon is very good. After hearing that the troublesome debt could be resolved, Edward's evaluation of Solomon rose even more, "Regina, we need more people like this, maybe you can consider using him?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I was just thinking of building a book to you, and I think that this book alone should grant him the status of a kingdom mage. Regina said.

"I agree, I will have the Lord of the Seals affix my royal seal to this edict and confer on him the status of a kingdom mage. ”

"Actually, if you want more people to see your determination, I mean use Solomon as a positive example to motivate more merchants and small and medium-sized nobles to follow the royal family, and you can grant him the status of a baron after he helps settle that debt. Reginati said.

"Baron?" Edward's face changed slightly, it was out of his mind, but he had always trusted Regina.

But Edward never doubted the old mage's loyalty to him, and he had served as the monarch of Asturias for more than two generations, from King Bruce to Edward.

Regina was a lonely old man, and his family was devoid of people, as if he had only one nephew.

His family's connections make it impossible for him to become a duke, and the continuation of a duke's family does not require a lot of blood, only an heir.

But at the beginning of the birth of the Duke's family, it needed to have enough financial resources and connections to support it, otherwise, just like Duke Aldrich, it would not be worthy of the name, because the Asturian army was outdated, judged the situation, and surrendered in time.

The reason why Regina has been trusted by the royal family for generations is that he is a solitary vassal, and his family power is unlikely to help him form a new duke-level power, even if he gets this title.

Much of his current connections and the financial resources at his disposal are based on the fact that he is part of the power of the royal family.

Just like this promotion to Chancellor of the Exchequer, it seems to be very glamorous, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is taking over a mess.

The problem is that his predecessor Eggberg did not leave him much treasury money, and what he needed to spend increased dramatically.

The former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Egbert, was also loyal to the royal family, but as Chancellor of the Exchequer he did not come up with any effective measures, but he was able to barely maintain the income and expenditure of the ordinary year, and the beginning of the plane conquest led to an imbalance in the income and expenditure.

Solomon was able to get the attention of Regina and Edward precisely because he was at the right time.

"It's not impossible, baron, but we'll wait until he's settled the debt. Edward's tone was less affirmative.

In his opinion, the identity of a kingdom mage should be, which can already make Solomon a person with status, as for the baron, it seems a bit radical, but Regina's reason is also very reasonable, although Edward has not heard of the story of buying horse bones, but the reason is the same.

So he didn't completely refuse, and added: "Then see if the effects in his book that can be implemented first are really so good, and if they can be satisfied, then grant him a knighthood." ”

Regina nodded in agreement, and Edward breathed a sigh of relief and casually put the book aside.

"But, to be honest, his means of being able to share my worries in the short term are really a little weaker. Well, he doesn't know how the latest situation affects the kingdom and me. It's all the church, it's too eccentric. Edward said with some anger.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" Regina already knew the cause of Edward's anger, and a deep worry appeared on his face.

This has to start with this holy war, the current situation is not in the favor of Asturias, in Jugudral and Farusion, it was originally decided that Asturian should fight alone.

However, Saxon and Aurora soon found a reason to join in under the pretext that the Roput Order might summon Agareth, the demon god of purgatory, and that Asturias would be fighting alone and not an opponent.

After the emergence of various rare mineral deposits, the two countries will not withdraw, and they have also increased their troops.

And several countries of the Eugudrar plane, such as Agsteria, Izsark, Dorakia, Lansta, Vildan, etc., who had originally fought with Asturias against the Grumbel and Roput Order, also defected when their allies who had come under the banner of defending the faith in the heavenly realm were looting, and the most terrible thing was that after occupying the territory, they planned not to leave for the sake of the mineral deposits in it.

As a result, Yugudral was caught in a scuffle, and as Regina said to Solomon, if Edward was not willing to give up his great interests in Yugudral, he would have to increase his troops.

Now there is only a stalemate, and the existing army of Asturias can only hold part of the occupied territory there.

Edward came back this time, first of all, to accept the mediation of the Church of Light, hoping that Saxon and Aurora would give up the war in Yugudral, because it was originally agreed that the plane was the main responsibility of Asturias.

However, Edward was very dissatisfied with the outcome of the Church of Light's mediation, and Sasunk and Aurora insisted on fighting to defend the Celestial Faith, and should not be too careful, so they insisted on refusing to quit.

Asturias stepped back and demanded that it was okay if it did not withdraw, but that the countries should agree on the current occupied territories and not encroach on each other.

Saxon was ambiguous and did not directly oppose it, but Aurora ignored it, claiming that it was all for the holy war, and that each should rely on his strength, and as for the gains, it depends on his own luck and God's favor.

And the Church of Light agrees with this statement and is not on the side of Asturias.
