Chapter 210 The gradually changing Kingdom of Farmus
Spider Girl felt that Lord Yuto was playing a big game. Although he had said before that he did not want to become the king, in fact, Lord Yuto had already planned everything for how he could ascend to the throne without any resistance.
Saving the civilian mother and daughter and punishing the noble ministers were all Yuto-sama's intentional actions from the beginning.
As for saying that he doesn't want to be the new king of this kingdom, it may be because he wants to test them a few times.
Thinking the same as Spider Queen, there is also a warrior spirit who also likes to think about things.
Obviously, as a brain-feeding player who is also good at management, the other party's ideas are somewhat different from those of Spider Girl, but they are not far apart.
After understanding this, Spider Princess and Samurai Spirit looked at Yudou's back with admiration in their eyes.
At this time, Spider Princess and Samurai Spirit felt that their Master Yuto's wisdom was too vast, which was beyond their reach.
While they were still thinking about the conveniences that the position of the "King" would bring, Lord Yuto had even thought a few steps further than they did, and had started planning early.
Obviously, Yuu Dou, who was sitting on the dragon's head at this time, still didn't know what he had done so rashly, and now he was being fooled by two crazy monsters.
Otherwise, he should probably lament that after the flattering combination of Tian Xie Gui and Tu Bi, there appeared the ingenious combination of Spider Queen and Samurai Spirit.
Originally, Youto wanted to completely omit even the so-called enthronement ceremony, but he couldn't resist the advice of several of his subordinates.
For Spider Princess and the others, Youdou is the greatest existence. Now that he has become the king of a country, he must have the proper pomp and ceremony.
What was the fat king like before? Their Yuto-sama's pomp must be several times grander. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that Yuto-sama is not as good as the fat king before?
After the new king came to the throne, it was customary to say some inspiring words, but it was obvious that Yuto couldn't handle this at all, so he could only make the decision he had prepared before and said it here while there were many people.
.
First of all, because the former king Edmalis was extremely greedy and continued to increase taxes, the treasure house and wealth in the palace are now piling up.
Letting Edmalis survive was already an act of mercy outside the law. Naturally, it was impossible for the other party to pack up the treasure and take it away.
Afterwards, Yuto also asked the Samurai Spirit to calculate the treasures in the treasury, and found that the wealth gathered here, even if the Kingdom of Farmus had no revenue, would be enough to maintain the operation of the kingdom for three years.
Therefore, when Yuuto succeeded to the throne, he directly issued a three-year tax exemption.
Of course, only agricultural taxes are fully exempted. As for commercial taxes, they are not fully exempted. Instead, when the amount of revenue reaches a certain upper limit, a certain amount of tax will be levied. The more the amount exceeds, the higher the tax rate will be.
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 will not only prevent the vendors from being unable to afford food and clothing, but also allow the wealthy businessmen to make some money.
There is no doubt that when Yuto announced the decision to exempt taxes, the entire Malis City instantly became excited!
Although Yuto did not say some exciting words as soon as he took the throne like other kings, this new decision was undoubtedly the most exciting news for the lower-level people living in Malis.
The Kingdom of Farmus was originally a big commercial country. It increased taxes on the common people and did not collect much money, as long as the former king was too greedy.
According to the calculations of Samurai Spirit and Spider Girl, due to its geographical advantage, even if Farmus only collects commercial taxes and goods entering the city, it is completely enough to maintain the operation of the kingdom.
Moreover, the common people at the bottom were already very poor, and Edmalis, as the king, was still raking in the money. This is why the Kingdom of Farmus can only maintain its current scale.
The succession ceremony ended perfectly. Because of a series of decisions, although Yuto had just become the king of this kingdom, his popularity among the people reached its peak in an instant.
The residents of Malis City are now extremely satisfied with the young King. They even said that it would be better if Lord Yuto came to Malis City earlier.
After becoming the king, Yuto's reputation among the common people was at its peak, but among the nobles, there were not a few people who secretly cursed Yuto.
After a series of policies that benefit the common people, although the common people have benefited, as a group of nobles, their interests have definitely been weakened a lot.
Especially the so-called new business tax. As a noble of Malice City, that noble family does not have a huge industry.
Although there were taxes in the past, through their own connections, they were able to completely omit this part of the tax, or increase the taxes on the residents to fill this gap.
But now, the kingdom has changed its leader, and their relationship is no longer working. In the future, they will face taxes that are many times higher than before.
The nobles are undoubtedly disgusted with this new king, but unfortunately now they can only grit their teeth and bear it. Even at this time, most of the nobles feel extremely panicked.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the new King, His Majesty, is pro-people and is not at all the same type of person as these aristocratic groups.
They had also heard before that many ministers were directly killed by His Majesty the young King because they had gone too far in the past.
Although the other party is young, he will not be lenient at all in his attacks. Now the nobles of Malis City are also very uneasy, worried that after Yudou kills the minister, he will prepare to attack them next.
It's not that the nobles haven't thought about running away, but the entire city of Malice has been under lockdown recently. Unless they are willing to give up all their wealth and disguise themselves as civilians and leave the city, it is almost impossible.
Of course, in addition to escaping, they can also try to resist, but they obviously don't have the courage now.
Just kidding, the 50,000-strong army of Farmus Kingdom, plus Falcon and Razan, were all defeated in the hands of the opponent in just a few hours. Although these nobles have some strength, they are better than the 50,000-strong army.
force?
These days, the common people in Malis City feel like they are celebrating a festival every day, because they discovered that the new King really kept 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 a very satisfying thing for the common people at the bottom.
However, compared to the common people who lived like a festival every day, the nobles in the city finally received the Farmus soldiers who came to visit them after being uneasy for many days.
At first, when these nobles saw the soldiers coming to their door, they thought in despair that the new king had indeed extended his butcher knife to them.
But just when these nobles were about to kill them all, an extremely beautiful woman wearing a maid uniform walked out from the soldiers in the aisle and handed out an invitation to the head of each noble family.
"Our lord, Lord Yuto, the new king of Farmus, is hosting a banquet in the palace tonight. I hope you can attend it."
Such invitations appeared in almost all the noble families in Malis, and those who came to deliver the invitations were ten monsters summoned by Yuto.
The people in Malis City now are not the stupid people who didn't understand anything before.
Although the person who sent the invitation was either wearing linen or a maid uniform, those who received the invitation did not dare to neglect them at all.
Because they all know that due to the purge of a large number of former ministers, the ten monsters summoned by the young king now hold very important positions.
Especially the extremely beautiful woman in front of me who is wearing a maid uniform. Her current position is the so-called "Minister of the Interior."
Excluding the king himself, the other party’s power can be called the second-in-command of the kingdom!
Because Yuto's own magic power was still quite sufficient, Spider Princess and the others were temporarily left in this world by Yuto to help.
He had no choice but to become the king of a country inexplicably, and he also killed all the previous ministers. Now Yuto is basically in an awkward situation with no one available to him.
Therefore, the ten monsters summoned by Yuto are currently taking over the affairs of the original noble ministers in the Kingdom of Farmus.
Among them, Spider Girl's current position is "Minister of Internal Affairs", handling all affairs of the kingdom.
The position of the Samurai Spirit is the original "Secretary of Finance", responsible for managing tax matters and the treasury, and the Crochet Girl also serves as his deputy.
As for the others, most of them joined the army, taking the original positions of Falcon and Razan.
Among them, Mao Mao began to train assassination troops, mainly responsible for assassinations and intelligence work.
One of Hand Wash Ghost and Tian Xie Ghost took over the original position of Knight Commander of Falcon, and the other took up the job 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 Malis 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 domineering trio of time-travelers before.
The powerful monsters are infinitely stronger than the previous manpower in terms of construction, transportation and other aspects.
Even now, many merchants entering and leaving Malis City will hire these powerful monsters for transportation.
The huge magic spider is not only much better than ordinary carriages in terms of transportation, but its powerful magic power is also enough to deter many uneasy bandits and monsters, allowing these businessmen to save a lot of money in hiring risks.
the person’s fees.
Everyone living in Malis City can also clearly feel that since Yudou became the new king, their living standards have indeed increased significantly.
