It was cloudy, gloomy all day, the sun was deeply hidden by the clouds, and the color of the sky changed from its previous azure face to a color that looked like it had been soaked in water by a dirty rag.

In the Silver Light City of the Duke of Man's capital, Bella is dealing with some matters that have just ascended the throne.

Ryan handed over a document and reported, "Your Majesty, this is the financial report about Silver Light City. "

There are a dozen thick documents, which were sorted out by the fox ear lady who stayed up late for several nights.

Bella gently turned her wrist and gestured, "Probably report it." "

"Yes."

Ryan nodded, opened the document and began to report, "The taxes in Silver Light City are very heavy, there are various taxes, and civilians have to hand over wheat four times a year..."

Bella listened for most of the hour, and took a sip of tea, "It's a mess, have you done the new rules you drafted?" "

Ryan quickly nodded, opened another document and said, "This is a new rule that has been compiled into a book according to His Majesty's opinion. "

"I'll listen." Bella nodded lightly.

"All unreasonable taxes are abolished, the entry tax, the book tax, the housing tax... And the amount of wheat handed in every year is halved..." Ryan opened the document and continued to report.

The fox-eared lady is happy to do these things, and it is a comfortable thing to write the new rules with a charcoal pen on white paper, which is always better than the previous parchment roll and quill pen, which is tiring work.

Bella thought about it and ordered, "It's all well arranged, let people copy a few more copies, and paste them in the crowded places of Silver Light City." "

As the daughter of a duke, she has been staying by her father's side since she was a child, and even if she is driving ducks on the shelves, she probably knows how to govern a kingdom.

Of course, there is mainly the example of Chang'an City, and you can pick a good place to learn.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ryan immediately answered.

Bella looked at the fox-eared lady with several documents in her hand and asked, "What else?" "

Ryan quickly pulled out another document and reported, "Your Majesty, this one is about other cities, and the nobles are all offering gifts. "

"What did you send?" Bella wondered, and at the same time a little surprised.

I thought that it would take some time to make the nobles of the entire Man'er Duchy submit, but I didn't expect that a few days after taking the throne, I took the initiative to come to the door to show favor, but it saved a lot of trouble.

Ryan took out the list and said, "There are many war horses, horses, cattle, and sheep, and the total number is about a thousand." "

Bella nodded in satisfaction, this amount is still okay, and continued to ask, "And what?" "

"And the total number of fabrics is more than a thousand, and there is wheat that can feed our knights for half a month." Ryan continued to report.

"Not bad, it's a good start, then the policies of their city are all in accordance with Silver Light City." Bella ordered.

Since those cities took the initiative to show favor, this opportunity to implement new rules together, even if the nobles do not agree, they will also press I down on dissatisfaction, after all, this will hurt interests, but who let her use force.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ryan recorded in the notepad, and then a document outside, said, "Your Majesty, this is a reply letter about Chang'an City. "

"Read." Bella leaned back in her chair.

Ryan reported, "Weapons, armor, and medicines will be sold to us according to a small part of the list, but refuse to sell us wheat." "

Bella sighed helplessly and said, "I know, it seems that the storm a few days ago also affected Chang'an City. "

The typhoon did not have a great impact on this side of Silver Light City, but it rained heavily for two or three days, occasionally accompanied by some strong winds, because there was no reasonable drainage facilities, and the crops were flooded a lot.

"It is said that the seaside city has the most influence, and Chang'an City should support it first." Ryan guessed.

Bella understood and continued to ask, "What about the establishment of the airship yard?" Did His Excellency Liu Feng agree? "

Ryan nodded excitedly and said with a smile, "Yes, Your Majesty, I have agreed." "

When she first ascended the throne, the snake woman made this request to Liu Feng, wanting to set up an airship field in the Duchy of Man'er. Of course, the condition is that the price of saltpeter is 20% lower than before.

The most important thing is that she sent Liu Feng three thousand Terran knights, as for whether the other party wanted to take it as a slave, I don't know why.

"Great, with the airship field, it will be much more convenient for Tice to come over, and the most important thing is that Silver Light City can also develop rapidly." Bella excited.

Ryan adjusted his mood and continued, "Your Majesty, but the king of the Han Dynasty said that he wanted us to settle down before agreeing to help us build the airship yard. "

"It's true that I just took the throne, and everything is unstable, but since I agreed." Bella took a long sip of water.

Ryan opened another document with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, Chang'an City has sent a congratulatory gift to congratulate you on your accession to the throne. "

Bella smiled heartily for a while and asked, "What is it?" "

"A hundred bottles of fine perfume, 500 horses of fabric, and 500 cans that can be stored for about three months... Finally, some fine porcelain...," Ryan reported as he looked at the document.

"Your Excellency Liu Feng is really generous, write a letter to thank you well." Bella said with satisfaction.

Seeing that the fox lady had finished reporting, Obi took out a document and reported, "Your Majesty, this is intelligence about the other two principalities. "

"Did they start gathering knights?" Bella guessed.

Obi nodded solemnly and reported, "The Duchy of Mullin has not made any moves. It was the principality of Chama, and they occupied five cities around us. "

"Hmph!"

Bella snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "The Principality of Chama wants to take advantage of the void. "

"Your Majesty, let your subordinates lead a team of knights to harass them and put a little pressure on them." Obi said excitedly.

Bella shook her head and said, "No, we just took the Duchy of Maner, and we still need to adjust it internally, and we can't go through war anymore." "

Obi looked puzzled and said eagerly, "Your Majesty, but they won't let us rest." "

"They won't make any big moves for the time being, at most, they will disturb the surrounding cities, and if they want to test our current strength, as long as they send some knights to garrison the surrounding areas, they don't go out of the city." Bella analyzed.

"Yes." Obi replied.

Bella put down her cup and ordered, "Obie, you arrange some people to send those Terran knights to Chang'an City first, by the way, bring the saltpeter stored before, and then bring back the medicines and weapons." "

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Obi quickly nodded, took out a drawing, and said, "Your Majesty, our flag has been designed, take a look." "

Bella's vertical pupils flickered, took the drawing and began to browse, and after a moment said with satisfaction, "Very good, just this flag, let people put it on every city after mass production." "

The flag of the snake woman is mainly green, with a giant python depicted in the middle, and then there are large swords slightly tilted to the outside on both sides, which look like a pair of wings, and the overall look is very fierce.

"Understood." Obi said excitedly.
