Flower Fairy's Tribulation

The elves have still been at war with each other in the spring between the Holy Spirit Empire and the West Sea Empire. The West Sea Empire was crushed by the power of the Holy Spirit Empire and retreated steadily. By the end of the year, it had lost the territory of five provinces and regions, and a total of nearly one-tenth of the country had fallen. The Holy Spirit Army has invaded more than [-] miles into the West Sea Empire and is still unstoppable.

The West Sea Empire frequently asked for help from major empires, but the East Sea Empire was beyond its reach. The North Sea and South Sea Empires stood still and waited, but the West Sea Empire received moral and financial assistance.

The West Sea Empire sent envoys to Green City one after another to communicate, hoping that the Southern Navy would terminate the treaty with the Holy Spirit Empire and launch an attack to rescue the West Sea Empire in crisis.

Hua Yueying believed that the West Sea Empire was far from reaching the critical moment of life and death when its national power was exhausted and could no longer be sustained, so she used various reasons to shirk it.

The South China Sea Empire was struggling externally and internally tight. Governments at all levels vigorously implemented preferential tax policies to encourage the resumption of industry, commerce and trade, and had government troops escort the caravans; they encouraged farmers to reclaim land, increase the area of ​​cultivated land, and reduce tenant rents; they encouraged the birth of the population and increased the number of tenants. The government will reward a cow or a horse for a boy, and a sheep or two piglets for a girl. It limits the power of government officials, especially financial and taxation officials, and prohibits arbitrary apportionment, taxation, and disguised increases in the people's corvee. Without the approval of the regional governor, each country Governments at all levels are not allowed to issue prohibitions other than the prohibitions confirmed by the Longjiao Code; build water conservancy projects, increase the area of ​​irrigation areas, carry out large-scale construction in rural areas, build roads and bridges, and develop transportation; build centralized housing, village and community housing, and use work as relief. Solve the housing and work problems of ordinary people; provide high salaries to government officials to maintain integrity, implement the most stringent anti-corruption laws, and severely punish corruption; improve the military and streamline administration to a certain extent, limit the number of government officials, and emphasize the use of efficiency to maximize the advantage of numbers. 17 years old in the military Below, ordinary soldiers over 50 years old and old, weak, sick and paralyzed soldiers will all be given land and cash rewards based on military merit and service period, so that they can be discharged and return to their fields to live and work in peace and contentment. Vigorously develop public medical care, free education, and orphanages to provide support for the surviving elderly and children whose families were destroyed by the war, restore people's confidence in the government, and attract exiled people to return.

Huge military and financial expenditures require an astronomical amount of funds to support. The funds carried by Jiang Youyou from the original Wusheng State's treasury have long been exhausted. The existing commercial and agricultural taxes cannot balance the finances. The South China Sea Empire The Ministry of Mining was established under the Central Government, and professional talents were recruited to establish numerous mining mining institutions. Minerals such as gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, zinc, tin, and mercury were mined on a large scale in the name of the government across the country. After smelting, they were exported abroad in exchange for much-needed funds and food. The golden areas were armed with The town area is mountainous and sparsely populated, but it is rich in mineral resources and has become the main source of financial funds for the Nanhai government.

Far away from the border, where there are no urgent war preparation tasks, the garrison must train at the station while reclaiming wasteland for farming. They can provide enough food and clothing by themselves, which solves part of the supply problem and greatly reduces the financial burden of the local government.

At the same time, governments at all levels pursue a work style that increases revenue and reduces expenditure, eliminates all extravagance and waste, and makes full use of old government office facilities from the Holy Spirit Empire. It is prohibited to build luxury offices for governments at all levels without the approval of the regional governor.

The Imperial Palace Bureau took the lead in demonstrating: there are 82 concubines of all levels in the harem, including the two queens. The imperial concubines are equipped with 4 serving maids, and the lower levels can be equipped with 2-3 serving maids. The entire inner palace includes the master and external servants. The number of people is basically controlled below 350. This number is not comparable to the harems of the other three empires, which often have tens of thousands of people, and is even less than the staffing of an ordinary prince's palace. It also stipulates the appropriate number of new clothes that concubines of different grades can make every year. Concubines are not allowed to wear too many luxury jewelry before specific festivals, even the gold and silver jewelry from their natal families.

The consequence of tightening one's belt and being extremely frugal is that the burden of fiscal expenditures is significantly reduced. The money saved can be spent on people's livelihood and well-being. After a few years of recuperation, the country's economy, which is riddled with holes, has been restored to a certain extent. After recovery, the population began to grow positively, people's living standards generally improved significantly, and the problem of extreme poverty was effectively curbed.

Both the government and the people of Nanhai State respect the Dragon Horn Code, a law that is very loose for the people and strictly restricts government officials. It clarifies its own code of conduct. It knows what can and cannot be done, and the behavior has guidelines, which stabilizes people's hearts and the situation will naturally be stable. Afterwards, a series of policies achieved immediate results. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the Lin family royal family gradually won the praise of the people.

Zhao Yunxiao, who was among them, realized from the social environment the real reason why the gentleman Chen Jitong turned his back and defected to the Southern Navy regardless of the criticism of the world. He also calmed down to run the operation of the Royal Elf Warrior School.
