Chapter 803: On the eve of the ceremony
For five days, Stephanie remained at the palace, and Duke Sánchez and Emperor Bhasin unreservedly passed on their years of experience to Stephanie.
In the face of Bhasin's careful teaching, Stephanie temporarily put aside her hatred, studied modestly, and carefully recorded it, she knew that these things taught by Bhasin could not be learned from books, this is the experience accumulated by a politician for many years, so Stephanie listened very carefully.
When everyone was busy, Wang Yong was shaking with Shadow Dance and Light Spirit Mandi, the defense of the palace had been taken over by Lane, and the defense of the palace by 20,000 heavily armed soldiers was unbreakable, so Wang Yong was not worried about what tricks Bhain would play or be bad for Stephanie.
After Emperor Bhasin had passed the throne to Stephanie and had become an ally of the Lawson Empire, the imperial capital returned to its former prosperity, and Wang Yong's plan to buy cheap stores in large quantities was terminated.
The merchants, nobles, and commoners who had fled the capital quickly returned to the capital upon hearing the news, but those who had sold their possessions and houses would have to pay a much higher price if they wanted to buy back their former property. In just a few days, the wealth of the merchants or nobles who fled the imperial capital was greatly reduced by Wang Yong and other speculators, and some retired merchants or craftsmen had to go out again to start tedious small businesses or find new jobs to make up for the losses.
The seaside province has purchased a total of 28 shops in the most prosperous commercial street in the imperial capital, including 10 ready-to-wear stores, 2 restaurants, 5 fur shops, and a number of grocery stores, jewelry stores, etc. And what makes Qingling happiest is that at the mention of Qingling, he also acquired a candy store, and at the moment of successful acquisition, Qingling unceremoniously collected a large number of candies given to Wang Yong by the original shopkeeper Bai into the Lingxu Ring, and the candy store owner was stunned for a while.
Of course, except for these shops that were purchased by the seaside province on the surface. The Haibin Province has also purchased some small shops and some mansions in remote areas in the name of some imaginary individuals, and Wang Yong does not intend to sell these properties, but keeps them as secret contact points for the Haibin Province in the imperial capital, and Tie Mian has sent people to arrange corresponding personnel in some of these places, always paying attention to the form of the imperial capital.
Near the walls of the imperial capital, all the soldiers of the Aier Empire have learned that the future empress has reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the Losen Empire, so the army of the Losen Empire will not attack the imperial capital again, and will even return the fallen provinces of Liech, Berni and Braxing, so the soldiers are full of confidence in the future of the upcoming empress and the empire. There are hearty smiles on their faces.
The soldiers on duty stood on the tall city walls and stood straight, while those who were not on duty gathered in twos and threes, talking about the empress's appearance, her origins, and other things that they were most concerned about.
The soldiers were talking happily about the future empress, and the officers were surprisingly not stopping, but telling the gossip about the gossip of the soldiers, even the most disciplined royal troops.
These so-called gossip was actually deliberately spread by Wang Yong and others after discussion, so that these soldiers and officers could support Stephanie and would not be provoked by a certain person or force.
These are the gossip. These soldiers were most interested in reforming the army, for example, Princess Stephanie would reorganize the armies of various places when she ascended the throne. The number of troops has been expanded from 2,000 men per legion to 10,000 per legion, and each legion will also be different according to the environment of the place where it is stationed. Equip the appropriate class.
Also, the Empire will allocate a large amount of money to build a teleportation network for the military first, so that it can be. In case of emergency, the soldiers no longer have to travel long distances, they only need to ride the teleportation array.
Also, Princess Stephanie wants to buy a large number of high-end military equipment in the coastal province, it is said that the armor produced in the coastal province has extremely high defensive power, which is several times stronger than ordinary armor, and the various weapons produced in the seashore are also extremely sharp, which can easily cut the iron sword. Moreover, under the deliberate arrangement of Wang Yong and others, Lane, Mu Sen, Chris and others, who were also soldiers, had a lot of contact with the officers of the imperial capital troops, and also gave a batch of weapons and equipment produced on the seashore.
The officers who had been given steel armor and weapons did not hide their secrets, and showed these high-quality equipment on the seashore to the soldiers under them, which made these ironclad soldiers who were still extremely heavily dressed and had a few grades of defensive strength in envy.
The soldiers who have seen such excellent equipment produced on the seashore are all looking forward to the Empire being able to equip these high-end goods as soon as possible, in that case, even if they go to the battlefield and fight the enemy, these high-quality equipment will definitely greatly improve their chances of survival, and of course, relatively speaking, their chances of establishing military merit will also be greatly increased.
Finally, there is another news that attracts all soldiers the most, that is, in the near future, the empire will improve the treatment of soldiers, increase various benefits and holidays, increase pensions and salaries, so as to ensure that each soldier can support his family, so that soldiers have no worries.
After getting the news, almost all the soldiers were boiling, for a long time, they suffered the most, the most dangerous, one went to lose his life without paying attention, but what they got was far less than what they paid, but the soldiers had no other way but to make do with life.
And now, these oppressed ordinary soldiers are all grateful to learn that the future empress has given them so many benefits and generous treatment, and some of the emotional soldiers are even more crying, venting the grievances and unwillingness that have accumulated in their hearts for many years. For a time, Stephanie had not yet succeeded to the throne, but she was already quite prestigious in the army, even more so than the emperor Bazin.
Everyone else is busy with their respective work around Stephanie's enthronement ceremony, while Wang Yong is idly wandering around the street with two beauties, tasting anything delicious when he sees it, and buying it under the premise of 'economic ability' when he sees something interesting, just a few days, Wang Yong, Shadow Dance and Qingling have managed to accumulate dozens of gold coins of private money have been spent.
Wang Yong went shopping on the street regardless of grade, regardless of scale, and saw that there were people who bought things to join in the fun, these days, the harvest is also quite good, not only found some natural condiments such as local rare peppers, cumin, peppercorns, etc., but also bought a sauce recipe with a unique taste of Oh Duo Zhong.
And what made Wang Yong happiest was that when he was in the slave market, he actually found a beekeeper with a group of more than 20 people. Wang Yong didn't say a word, asked Qingling to go back and get the money, and then bought all these beekeepers and sent them directly back to the island of the territory to be handed over to the administrator Luo Wen, so that he could arrange the development of beekeeping.
The reason why these beekeepers were sent to the island was because there was a large meadow not far from the rubber grove of the island, and the meadow was full of all kinds of wildflowers, and the abundance was quite large, which was just right for bee breeding. (To be continued......)
