Arad's crooked savior

Celia put on a solemn black corset dress, her cold and beautiful face showed no expression, and she was reading a newspaper from Bellemare in an ordinary way.

Ye Lin had left half an hour ago, and the purpose of coming to the princess's residence seemed to be just to vent his arrogant desires.

"He can affect everything in this world. He is an unparalleled figure, but his weaknesses are also very obvious, which is a good thing for us." Celia spoke slightly hoarsely, looking up at Judy casually, "You don't have to feel any psychological burden. It's all allowed by me, but you have to forget it in your mind."

Celia needed someone to share her physical pressure, and the Three Prince Consorts had more endurance than horses.

Judy has a good figure and appearance, and has beautiful dark blond hair. Just because she wants to maintain her aura and reputation as a warden, Judy tries her best to cover up her femininity with masculine attire outside. Charm.

Heavy military uniforms and military caps covering their hair.

The Ringwood family to which Judy belongs was once the founding minister who opened up the Delos Empire with the founding emperor Heron Baden. However, because of previous serious crimes, the emperor sent the whole family to the second territory in the north of the empire. The border guards the imperial prison, and generations of people have been forced to leave the core area of ​​​​power, Vetalun.

Returning to the imperial capital of Vetalun and the "Imperial Parliament", the core of power, is the first goal that the entire Ringwood family is passionate about!

Now Judy has done it. Although the Ringwood family has not been able to return to the Imperial Parliament headed by Queen Josephine and the Royal Chamber, they have frequently had the opportunity to appear on formal and important occasions.

The punishment that the Ringwood family was not allowed to leave the territory near the Imperial Prison has also been revoked.

Everything that changed for the better was related to the eldest princess Celia, and everything about the eldest princess Celia was given by Ye Lin.

As long as the Ringwood family can return to the Imperial Parliament and regain the glory of the famous family, Judy, as the patriarch, does not mind making a certain amount of bloodshed.

Moreover, she didn't dislike this person, and even had some admiration for him, so she had no reason to refuse and went happily to Ye Lin's invitation.

Of course, there are only a handful of people who have the ability to achieve what she wants, considering the vast Delos Empire.

"He is just a tool used by the two of us to achieve our goals." Ye Lin has seen Celia's tough-tongued skills.

"Judy, ask the servants to throw away the carpet, the sofa cushions, my white breeches and top, burn them and replace them with new ones. Change your clothes too. I'm going to rest for a while."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Delos Empire, South, Torrent Province

The festival to celebrate the harvest ended yesterday, and a finger or so of green wheat sprouts sprouted from the soil in the fields.

In the past, Delos gave people a very bad impression, with everyone being cruel, conquering, and expanding... But among the fields, there were actually ordinary people who wanted a stable life and a good harvest.

The Third Princess and Cyrus were both aboveboard and secretive.

That is to say, Wei Talun knew that they had suppressed their feelings and came to the province to join in the harvest festival. However, the local high-ranking officials and imperial nobles had no idea where exactly the three emperors and their servants were. So that they can give a banquet and entertain them.

Cyrus still has a cool little face, and the bright red and violent magic lines are no longer on his forehead. His gray-white hair is roughly tied into a loose braid. The newspaper he is reading on his knees is also about the great voyage. description of.

"Sellers, I'm quite impressed with this place." The third princess sat cross-legged on the bed, rubbing a pillow in her arms. Although it was not dark outside, it was not normal for the princess to take a nap until around four o'clock in the afternoon. Well.

She and Cyrus were staying in a hotel, the best hotel in the area.

Although it is not as good as one-tenth of her bedroom, it is still clean and tidy, with no peculiar smell, the bed is comfortable, and the cleaning lady changes the flowers in the vase every day.

At first, the Third Princess wanted to stay in a civilian hotel. It was not that she had no money, she just wanted to experience civilian life.

But when she saw solidified black syrup on the floor of the room, cigarette butts in the corner, dust on the window sills, and a strange smell in the air, and even saw arrogant bedbugs under the bed, she suddenly felt horrified. , admitted that he was used to living a "pampered" life.

The third princess recalled and said unconvincingly: "It was probably when she was about ten years old? I can't remember the time clearly. My father and Duke Conard gave the four of us a task, how to solve the financial crisis in the southern part of the empire. , that is, the province of Fluxus.”

In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Delos Empire, the annual tax revenue collected here has been the lowest among all parts of the empire. It is not even comparable to the gray desert in the north. The local lords and officials have no good solution even if they think of it.

Restricted geographical environment means that farming can only provide food and clothing, navigation and trade are not feasible, and there are few resources such as metal ores. There are huge waves and whirlpools in the rapids area, and merchant ships do not dare to take risks.

Economic lag leads to backward infrastructure and serious population outflow, thus creating a vicious cycle.

"Then." Cyrus looked away from the newspaper. Since she and the Third Princess had talked about everything since they were young, she had an impression of this incident, but she couldn't remember the specific details clearly.

I vaguely remember that the eldest princess Celia gave the perfect answer, the eldest prince Fann and the second princess Nosadia were at the passing level, and my own princess took a different approach and gave an idea that exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Then..."

Speaking of interesting things from her childhood, the Third Princess also missed the four people who had a good relationship at that time. Now...

Brother Fan En was sent to the frontier. The eldest sister always had a smile on her face, giving people a special sense of strangeness. The second sister worked at the Royal Academy and did not return to the palace very often.

The answer given by the eldest princess was very standardized. The empire allocated funds to strengthen infrastructure, build roads, build schools, improve crop varieties, find cash crops suitable for large-scale planting in the local environment, etc.

Use ten or twenty years of infrastructure construction in exchange for abundant talents and tax revenue in the future.

"Then, I forgot who it was, Fann or Nosadia, who proposed to set up more tax projects and collect taxes in advance." The third princess scratched her head, that is, to collect next year's taxes this year first.

Because the topic is about how to increase tax revenue and solve the problem of insufficient local fiscal revenue, it does not mention whether there should be a virtuous cycle.

So if future taxes are collected in advance, for example, two or three taxes a year, wouldn’t this year’s tax figure be higher?

"Isabella, your answer is...?"

Normally, when there are no outsiders, Cyrus would call the Third Princess by her name affectionately. This is also the Third Princess's own request.

"I replied...if they have no money, why should they take money from them? It's from rich people."

Huh……?

A startling sound came from the corner of the room. The two of them heard the sound and looked at it at the same time. Cyrus's eyes flashed coldly, and the God-killing Sword was about to take action. He broke into the princess's residence without mercy and killed her without mercy.

But after seeing clearly who that person was, Cyrus snorted and sat back down.

"Oh my, my good consort is here." The third princess smiled brightly, jumped out of bed with a pair of strong legs, then grabbed his collar and threw him over her shoulder, hitting the bed heavily. , twisting one of his arms from behind.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "You actually went to so many interesting worlds without taking me with you."

"It hurts, it hurts." Ye Lin said helplessly, the little witch's bears can beat you better.

The answer that Isabella recalled just now seemed to show off her wealth, but from another perspective, it was clearly one of the monarchs' favorite policies to show their greatness and wisdom, cutting taxes!

And, the prototype of the dual tax law that does not tax people based on their population, but taxes based on assets.

If taxes are reduced, the lives of the local people will become easier, thereby catching the outflow of people, the people's pockets will be bulging, and the demand for business will increase, which is equivalent to collecting taxes in a different way.

Secondly, preferential policies can also attract immigrants from outside and businesses to settle in.

Celia's method was to recruit foreign aid, while the Third Princess's method was to "train herself", even though she herself might not have thought that far ahead at the time...

Moreover, the three princesses can still remember most of the details after so many years. No wonder Celia commented that she may not seem serious, but she always has special intelligence and is very threatening.
