Queen and Her Duke

For the next six months, Wen Lin has been running around in Yinhe Village and the parish, gradually realizing her plans and ideas.

Vicia would come out in disguise to find her when she was free, and the two would go out together to inspect the territory and talk about the upcoming situation and arrangements.

On both sides of the road is the golden yellow wheat that hangs down heavily. When the wind blows, the boundless golden wheat waves are surging.

When she was on the road just now, Wen Lin estimated that the average crop-to-income ratio per mu of land could reach about 1:35, that is, if 1 catty of grain is planted, 35 catties of grain can be harvested.

Compared with the modern crop yield of Huaguo, it must still be a bit short. After all, it is limited by the local climate and the variety of crops.

But compared with the original Golan's 1:6 or even lower seed-to-reap ratio, this year's harvest can be called a miracle.

Of course, it wasn't just that the crops on Wen Lin's territory were growing so well. For all the nobles who bought farm tools, Wen Lin sent someone to guide the cultivation.

There are those who listen and those who don't, the difference is now realized by the nobles.

Seeing the harvests doubled in other people's territories, the nobles who didn't listen were all regretful.

However, there are more than one obvious changes. The Fangtingsi slum area, which was originally the most dilapidated in the royal city, has newly built a commercial area.

The term business district is very new to the people of Golan, but its explanation is easy to understand, an area that is only used for business.

Following the queen's decree to encourage free people to do business, the busiest area in the royal city is now the Fangtings business district.

At first the nobles resolutely opposed it, and they entered the palace many times to ask to see the queen. The reason for the investigation was nothing more than affecting their own interests.

The free people in the territory began to travel and do business, which affected the taxes they collected on agriculture.

Visia avoided seeing her a few times before, but then simply convened a parliament to draft a unified commercial tax, and at the same time encouraged nobles to participate in business.

Nobles are always interested in profit, and when they found out that using the agricultural tools bought from Wen Lin could save people and time, and harvest more crops, they all shut their mouths wisely.

At the same time, Wen Lin also signed cooperation contracts with several nobles, and they would provide Wen Lin with first-class raw materials, while Wen Lin would carry out industrial upgrading, process them into finished products or semi-finished products, and then sell them.

This will allow Wen Lin to allocate manpower and field resources to new experiments as much as possible.

Latimer and Brown followed them on the same horse, and the personal servants were already familiar with Vicia and Wen Lin's intimate behavior from time to time.

It can only be regarded as the Queen's special favor for Her Excellency Wen Lin, who is also a woman. After all, Wen Lin's current talent is beyond the reach of others.

The queen's overt and secret preference is taken for granted and cannot be questioned.

Latimer seemed the most excited. He had grown a lot taller. Looking at the servant who was tending the wheat field in the distance, his voice couldn't hide his excitement.

Latimer recognized them. They used to be poor people with nothing in the Fontanes slum. He looked into the distance for a while, and then asked Wen Lin with great interest.

"Teacher, this is what you call cash for work."

With a smile, Wen Lin didn't hold back her praise, "Yes, Your Highness, this is work for relief."

After thinking for a while, Wen Lin continued, "His Royal Highness, you have to be clear that for the monarch of a country, kindness and charity that do not solve the problem at the root are actually meaningless, and a good and stable job is the only way to solve the problem." What they really need."

Latimer is still young, and now he spends most of his time in Inn River Village. What he often hears is the kindness and generosity of the villagers.

As a child, his mind is not yet fully mature, and he looks at things one-sidedly. Wen Lin has seen him give alms to beggars or refugees many times.

Wen Lin did not interfere with his actions. For the children of the royal family, it was not easy for them to be able to come into contact with the lowest living conditions and maintain goodwill when they were young.

When he gets older, maybe this kindness will slowly disappear.

Wen Lin's words were stern, showing her usual lecture attitude.

Latimer, who was originally relaxed, sat up straight for an instant, and nodded uncontrollably, his eyes full of admiration for Wen Lin.

Looking at Visia's smiling expression on the side, Brown secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help feeling that Her Majesty Visia would only be so indulgent when facing Her Excellency Wen Lin.

And His Excellency Wen Lin was extraordinarily indulgent in front of His Majesty, even daring to severely discipline the royal family's children in front of His Majesty, if anyone else dared to do this, they would definitely be charged with disrespect to the royal family.

Brown has been serving Wen Lin during this time, accompanying her to meet nobles and deal with matters large and small.

Brown felt strange. When His Excellency Wen Lin received other nobles, he moved forward and retreated with a certain amount of time. Why did he come to His Majesty...

Sighing quietly, Brown didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

How long can the monarch's trust be maintained?Brown, who had already tied his wealth and life to Wen Lin, only hoped that His Majesty Vicia would trust His Excellency Wen Lin for a longer period of time.

Now the entire Golan already knows that the most trusted and beloved minister of His Majesty Vicia is Wen Lin.

There were only a lot of invitations floating into Tuva Road No. 18 like grass, and Wen Lin began to choose some banquets to attend.

Many of them threw themselves into the arms of the banquet again, without exception, they were all rejected by Wen Lin mercilessly.

In just over half a year, Wen Lin's accumulated wealth has already made many people salivate.

But due to the army held in Wen Lin's hands and Vicia's trust, no one dared to do anything for the time being.

Visia and Wen Lin are obviously more worried about the investigation of the Holy Court than the coveting in Golan, but let them

It was Tilia who was relieved to send a letter, stating that the Holy Court would not have the energy to trouble Sutherland again within two years.

The price is that Visia has to secretly borrow troops and money to her, and when she needs it, Wen Lin has to go to Madrid for medical treatment.

Wen Lin had no shortage of money, and it happened that the navy lacked actual combat training, so the two agreed without too much hesitation.

As for the envoys accompanying Prince Philip, they were guarded and locked in a courtyard outside the king.

Everything is already on the right track, now it just needs to develop dormantly and wait for the time.

The relationship between Weissia and Wen Lin has become more and more tacit, and often they can understand what the other is thinking with just a look.

One of the most surprising changes came from the Holy See. Lucchese’s sermons were no longer about emptiness and lofty theology. He began to discuss with the believers the true goodness and justice, and what constitutes a true pious believer.

At first, he was denounced by the stubborn priests as being tempted by the devil, falling from the altar, and becoming a shameful heresy.

After witnessing the transformation in Sol parish with their own eyes, they kept their mouths shut.

The emancipation of the mind brings about the emancipation of the labor force. Many people's lives are no longer confined to the land, their lives are getting better, and the choices they leave for themselves and future generations are also better.

The school opened by Wen Lin has received great praise.

Children who come out of school can find a good job by virtue of what they have learned in Wangcheng, especially in arithmetic. Their brains are more flexible and their thinking is quicker. Many of them are hired by the city as assistants to housekeepers.

However, nothing can be broken and nothing can be established. The concentration of royal power will inevitably affect the vested interests of the nobles.

During this time, the nobles of the old school and the new school have begun to meet and discuss in private.

Vicia came out of the royal court today to accompany Wen Lin to resolve this matter, but Wen Lin was unexpectedly stubborn. She didn't want Vicia to get involved, so she took her own initiative and took her to the outskirts of Yinhe Village until the end of the day. Hei personally sent the man back to the royal court before turning around and rushing to the place agreed with the nobles.

This is a dark and narrow manor, it seems that it has not been repaired for a long time, but in the hall of the manor, nearly twenty nobles are sitting upright, looking in the direction of the door at the same time.

A fire was lit in the dilapidated fireplace, and candles were lit on the table. The letter sent by Wen Lin was placed on the table.

The letter just told them to wait, but did not say when they would come.

Seeing that it was already dark, Wen Lin was not even a shadow. Several nobles who felt offended cursed angrily,

"It's just a foreigner, is it possible that she can still be so arrogant?"

Soon someone came out to retort, "Maybe she can? Otherwise, why would so many of us be willing to wait here? Isn't it just to let her get some benefits out of her fingers?"

As soon as these words came out, the nobles sitting around the table fell silent. They looked at each other, and no one knew what to say for a while.

His Majesty Vicia's attitude towards government affairs has become increasingly tough recently, and the role of the parliament is being drastically reduced. If left unchecked, the parliament may become a complete display.

They couldn't let this situation go unchecked, and Wen Lin was obviously the only breakthrough.

Your Majesty is short of money, Wen Lin has a lot of ways to make money, and His Majesty lacks an army capable of actual combat, so she started to train soldiers. I heard that she is planning to recruit new soldiers recently, not to mention her growing reputation and popular support...

The muscles on the faces of the nobles were twitching, and they had endless headaches. There was only one way in front of them, and that was to win over Wen Lin and drive a wedge between her and Her Majesty Vicia.

When Wen Lin appeared, there was a moment of silence in the hall.

Immediately afterwards, the nobles put on smiles on their faces and began to argue with Wen Linxu.

Wen Lin was much more straightforward. She returned a gentle smile, but her words were not so polite, "Everyone, I will leave in three quarters of an hour. You need to say what you want to say as soon as possible."

Several people's mouths opened and closed, they were stunned for a while, and their faces slowly turned red. They were all distinguished nobles in the royal city, and it was the first time that they came to their door and were unhappy by a woman.

"Your Excellency Wen Lin, we want to negotiate with you, not only on government cooperation, but also on our business cooperation."

Wen Lin sat down calmly, listening patiently.

As she had guessed, these people saw that Wen Lin seemed to be softening, and they made their demands very clear. They all opened their mouths, not only wanting Wen Lin to teach the technology for free, but also wanting Wen Lin to give them a factory building as a gift. .

The most naive is to provoke the relationship between her and Vicia.

Indeed, it is difficult for a monarch and his subjects to stay together consistently for decades, but the relationship between her and Vicia is not just a relationship between the monarch and his subjects.

Wen Lin couldn't help laughing out loud, watching them persuading with righteous indignation, it was ridiculous but also interesting at the same time,

"Everyone, forgive me, you are not qualified to negotiate with me. When it comes to power, armies, and wealth, who of you can compete with me? All the scum that stands in front of me will be crushed. Dead scum."

Wen Lin was obviously smiling, but the cold tone with no ups and downs made everyone shudder.

The author has something to say: I Wen: I haven’t finished the story, it should be

"All the dregs standing in front of Her Majesty Vicia and me will be crushed!"

The last chapter came out alone. I don’t know if there will be a list next week, because it doesn’t matter if it’s locked or not. Let me explain it slowly~ Try to keep the most authentic scumbag.

Explain, Wen Lin is not floating, but attracting firepower!The contradiction between royal power and nobles is difficult to reconcile, and someone must charge in the game!
