Chapter 211 The gradually changing Farmus Kingdom
Spider Fairy felt that Lord Youdou was playing a big game of chess. Although she said before that she didn't want to be the king, in fact, Master Youdou had already planned everything for her superior position that would not be contradicted.
Rescuing the mothers and daughters of common people and punishing those noble ministers were all intentional actions of Mr. Yudou at the beginning.
As for saying that he does not want to be the new king of this kingdom, it may be out of consideration that he wants to test a few of them.
Like Spider Fairy, there is also the spirit of the warrior who also likes to brainstorm.
Obviously, as a brain-filling player who is also good at management, the opponent's thinking is somewhat different from Spider Ji's, but the difference is not far away.
After thinking about this point, Spider Princess and Warrior Spirit will look at Youdou's back with admiration.
At this time, the feeling of Spider Girl and Warrior Spirit is that the wisdom of their Master Youdou is too vast, which is beyond their reach.
When they were still thinking about the convenience that the position of "King" could bring, Master Yudou was already many steps ahead of them, and started planning early.
Obviously, You Dou, who was sitting on the dragon's head at this time, didn't know what he was doing rashly, and now he was being so awesome by two brain-filling monsters.
Otherwise, he should have sighed again, that is, after the sycophant combination of Tianxiegui and Tubi, there appeared the brain-supplement combination of Spider Fairy and Warrior Spirit.
Originally Yuto wanted to completely omit the so-called enthronement ceremony, but he couldn't resist the advice of several of his subordinates.
For Zhu Ji and the others, You Dou is the greatest existence, and now he has become the king of a country, so there must be some pomp and pomp.
What kind of fat king was that before, their Yudou-sama must be several times grander, otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that Yudou-sama is not as good as the previous fat king?
After the new king ascended the throne, it is customary to say some exciting words, but obviously Yuto can't play with this kind of thing at all, so he can only make the decision he had prepared before, and take advantage of the crowd here, and say it by the way .
First of all, because the former king Edmalis was extremely greedy and kept increasing taxes, the treasure house in the palace today can be said to be piled up with wealth.
Letting Ed Malis live was already an extrajudicial favor. Naturally, it was impossible for the other party to pack up the treasures and take them away.
Afterwards, Yuto also asked the warrior spirit to calculate the treasures in the treasury, and found that the wealth gathered here, even if the Farmus Kingdom had no revenue, could maintain the operation of the kingdom for three years.
So when Yuto succeeded to the throne, he directly issued a decision of tax exemption for three years.
Of course, only the agricultural tax is fully exempt. As for the commercial tax, it is not completely exempt, but when the amount of revenue reaches a certain upper limit, a certain amount of tax must be collected.
As they come from modern society, they naturally know that businessmen in this era are the most profitable.
The decision to collect taxes in this way, since it keeps those peddlers from having enough food and clothing, it also allows those wealthy businessmen to shed some blood.
Undoubtedly, when Yuuto announced the decision to exempt taxes, the entire Maris City boiled instantly!
Although Youdou didn't say some exciting words when he took the throne like other kings, this new decision is undoubtedly the most exciting news for the low-level people living in Maris.
The Kingdom of Farmus was originally a large commercial country, and the taxation of those commoners was increased, and the collection was not much, as long as it was because the former king was too greedy.
According to the calculations of Warrior Spirit and Spider Fairy, because of its geographical location, even if Farmus only collects commercial taxes and city entry taxes for goods, it is completely enough to maintain the operation of the kingdom.
Besides, the common people at the bottom are already poor, and Edmalis, as the king, is still collecting money. This is why the Farmus Kingdom can only maintain its current scale.
The succession ceremony ended perfectly. Because of a series of decisions, although Youdou had just become the king of this kingdom, his popularity among the people reached its peak in an instant.
The residents of Maris City are now so satisfied with the young King His Majesty, they even expressed that it would be nice if Mr. Yudou came to Maris City sooner.
After becoming king, Yuuto's reputation among the common people can be said to be in full swing, but among the nobles, there are not a few people who secretly curse Yuuto.
After a series of policies that benefit the common people, although the common people have benefited, as a group of nobles, their interests must have been weakened a lot.
Especially the so-called new business tax. As a noble in Maris City, that noble family does not have a huge industry.
Although there were taxes in the past, they were able to completely omit this part of the tax through their own relationship, or increase the tax of the citizens to fill this gap.
But now, the kingdom has changed its ruler, and their relationship is no longer useful. What they will face in the future is taxes that are several times higher than before.
The newly appointed His Majesty the King, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he belongs to the category of being close to the people, and he is not at all the same as the noble groups like them.
And they also heard before that many ministers were directly slaughtered by the young king because they had gone too far in the past.
Although the opponent is young, he will not be lenient in his attack. Now the nobles of Maris City are also very uneasy, worrying that after Yuuto kills the minister, he will be ready to take them.
It’s not that the nobles didn’t think about running away, but the entire Maris City has been under lockdown recently. Unless they are willing to give up all their wealth and leave the city disguised as civilians, it is almost impossible.
Of course, in addition to the method of escape, they can also try to resist, but they obviously don't have the guts now.
Just kidding, the 50,000 army of the Farmus Kingdom, together with Fulken and Razan, were defeated by each other in just a few hours. Although these nobles have some strength in their hands, they are better than the 50,000 army. force?
These days, the civilians in Maris City have been celebrating every day, because they found that His Majesty the new king really did not break his promise, and the people who went to the streets to collect taxes every day really did not show up.
Being able to eat and drink enough is already quite satisfying for the common people at the bottom.
However, compared to the commoners who felt like a holiday every day, the nobles in the city finally welcomed the Farmus soldiers who came to visit after many days of restlessness.
At the beginning, when these nobles saw the soldiers coming to their door, they thought in despair that the new king really extended his butcher knife to them.
But just when these nobles were about to kill each other, an unusually beautiful woman in a maid uniform walked out of the soldiers and handed out an invitation to the heads of the families of the nobles.
"Our lord, Yuto-sama, the new king of Farmus, is hosting a banquet at the palace tonight. I hope you all will be honored to attend."
Such invitations appeared in almost all noble families in Maris, and those who came to deliver the invitations were ten monsters summoned by Youto.
The people in Maris City are no longer the stunned young people who didn't know anything before.
Don't look at the person who sent the invitation, either in sackcloth or a maid uniform, but those who received the invitation did not dare to neglect them at all.
Because they all know that because a large number of former ministers were purged, each of the ten monsters summoned by the young king now holds quite important positions.
Especially the extremely beautiful woman in maid uniform in front of her, whose current position is the so-called "Minister of Internal Affairs".
Excluding the king himself, the opponent's power can be called the second in command of the kingdom!
Because Yuuto's own magic essence is still quite sufficient, Spider Princess and the others are temporarily left by Yuuto in this world to help.
There is no way, he became the king of a country for no reason, and he killed all the former ministers, Yudou is now basically in an embarrassing state where no one is available.
Thus, the ten youkai summoned by Yuuto are currently taking over the affairs of those noble ministers in the Kingdom of Farmus.
Among them, Spider Fairy's current position is "Minister of Internal Affairs", handling all affairs of the kingdom.
The position of the samurai spirit is the original "Minister of Finance", responsible for the management of taxation and treasury, and the crochet girl also acts as a deputy as his assistant.
As for the others, most of them joined the army, taking the place of Fulken and Razan.
Among them, Mao began to train assassination troops again, mainly responsible for assassination and intelligence work.
Hand Xiegui and Tianxiegui replaced the original position of Falken Knight Commander, and the other became the old line of the law enforcement team.
Tu Bi became the Minister of Defense, responsible for the city's fortifications and other security measures.
In short, the people of Maris City have become completely accustomed to the relationship between humans and monsters living in the same city in just a few days.
Many residents even think that these monsters are simply cute compared to the previous domineering trio of traversers.
Powerful monsters are much stronger than the previous manpower in terms of construction and transportation.
Even now, many merchants entering and leaving Maris City will hire these powerful monsters for transportation.
The huge demon spider is not only much better than ordinary carriages in terms of transportation, but even because of its powerful magic essence, it is enough to deter many uneasy and kind robbers and monsters, saving these businessmen a lot of hiring risks the cost of the recipient.
And everyone living in Maris City can also clearly feel that since You Dou became the new king, their living standards have indeed increased significantly.
