Magic Tower Starry Sky

"In terms of deterrence, Juan's ability is enough. With the military strength of the kingdom, even those large multinational chambers of commerce will not choose to fight head-to-head. Give up a little interest appropriately to avoid greater damage and loss. Those businessmen But be smart, they can count better than anyone else."

After complimenting his old friend, ignoring the smug expression on that guy's face, Lin said again: "Of course, this policy is not as simple as it appears to be, and we still need some coordinating policies to exert the greatest effect. For example, how to protect those small businessmen and how to maintain fairness in the market. This is not to say that commercial competition is prohibited, but at least fraud must be eliminated. All these require the wisdom of management officials. There is also the most important policy of cooperation That is, all those who come to the market to trade, no matter what the business situation is, must stay in the city for one night, and then leave the next day."

"What is the purpose of doing this? Is it possible that the kingdom can receive taxes?" The crown prince, who had no sense of existence, asked triumphantly at this time. It was as if he had discovered some big loophole.

The queen glanced calmly at her second son, the king's eldest son. Can't tell whether the look in his eyes is appreciation or disappointment. The king didn't figure out the answer either, so he continued to wait for someone to answer. On the contrary, Juan and his wife looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, waiting like watching a show.

Lin did not show a look of contempt, but directly answered: "I believe that people who are willing to do some small business are not all residents living in the royal city. For foreign residents or even foreign residents, they have traveled thousands of miles and traveled long distances. When they arrive at Wangcheng and sell the goods they brought, or buy everything they need, they may not be able to go back sooner. They may even have problems on the way back due to exhaustion. It is very reasonable and considerate for them to stay for one night."

Queen Catherine said further: "And by doing this, people can spend more time seeing the royal city and feeling the prosperity in it. Compared with letting people walk around and leave after buying or selling things, there is more time to stay. It may be possible to make a few more businesses and show more of the beautiful life that belongs to Wangcheng. This will help people make up their minds to settle down. Your Excellency is thinking of this kind of direct-to-heart plan."

This interpretation is perfect. At least someone admitted that he didn't think that much when he thought about these words, and he just followed the practice of a certain Nobunaga in history. But at this moment, Lin just put on an inscrutable expression and nodded slowly.

The crown prince was scolded by his mother, but he didn't dare to show any resentment, just a teachable expression, accepting criticism humbly. However, he was still puzzled, so he asked again: "Even if the eldest brother can keep the place, but we haven't fought wars these years, we don't have a name to ask for special collection."

Lin laughed, and Juan laughed too. The king was a little disappointed, but the queen didn't change her face either.

But Lin still replied: "It's difficult to find a title to collect. The more remote villages and towns need money to build banks; in order to make everyone's journey smoother, they need to build roads, which also requires money; clear the forest outside the king's city. Opening up wasteland, finding open space, building houses, and building city walls all require money. There is nothing wrong with war being the best item for special collection, because the kingdom needs funds to recruit troops, equip armaments, and collect food and fodder, so as to protect the people of the kingdom. But in other names, as long as the money given to people is used on them in return, it is good for everyone, and will anyone resist strongly. At most, it is a question of getting more and getting less.”

At this moment, Juan sighed: "It's still people's hearts. Boy, you can do it. These names are all based on people's hearts."

"I don't have so many tricks. Politics is not just about doing things. In fact, it is about managing everyone's affairs. Only by conforming to what everyone thinks and guiding everyone's direction is a qualified lord. If you only know how to do things with your head down, it is best to do things Those things that have nothing to do with other people will not mess things up. As for me to figure out these things, isn’t it the question you asked. But I’m just talking, if you really want me to do things, you know best what I said before What is the college like. So don't ask me to do things."

The meaning of what someone said is of course to continue to push things out. Just bad ideas, don't ask me for help.

Seeing someone's cautious look, Juan also smiled. Said: "Friend, you don't forget to evade in three sentences, do you think we really dare to keep you?"

Lin said: "Let's explain your attitude first. To save you from making demands that I obviously don't want to do, and then everyone can't get off the stage, that would be so ugly. But from what you say, it seems that you didn't intend to do this from the beginning? "

Juan looked at someone with an innocent face, raised his eyebrows and asked back: "Although I know you don't use the forum to communicate with others, but you don't even read the news on the forum. Don't you know , your evaluation in the southwest peninsula, and what did that tower do?"

"Which tower? The Tower of the Great Sage? What did it do?" Lin asked repeatedly.

Juan smiled and said: "Oh, it seems that you really don't know. The president of Xijia District has changed two people since you left. The one when you left had an accident and passed away. The second formed Mixed legions, and launched an attack on the tower of the great sage. The result was a big failure. It didn't matter if the legion was completely wiped out. Wulian City in Xijia District was also counterattacked by the tower of the great sage, and the five magic towers were destroyed. This The failed president wanted to regroup for revenge and rebuild the Wulian City, but was deposed by all the magicians. The current president of Xijia District is the tower owner of the Tower of the Great Sage. It was recommended. The location of the headquarters of the division has also been changed to a town built around the tower of the great sage. I said that the ghost tower you transformed can be attacked from such a long distance. The magic being attacked The tower has no way to fight back, and it is impossible not to surrender."

A certain person was stunned and said in amazement: "Such a thing happened."

Juan shook his head and said, "Not only."

Lin asked suspiciously, "Then what else happened?"

"Do you know the queen of Frank Kingdom, Julia III? The country closest to the Great Sage's Tower."

After thinking about it for a while, Lin nodded. The queen was originally named Mills Lian. Together with her loyal retainers, she hid in the village outside the Great Sage's Tower to escape the usurper of the kingdom.

But after she returned to the country, she didn't contact her again.

In fact, during the period when the queen kept her anonymity and hid in the subsidiary village outside the Great Sage's Tower, she didn't have much contact with someone. At best, I know her, she knows me, and when we meet outside, no one can recognize anyone.

However, when Juan mentioned this, Lin still had an impression.

Juan continued: "This queen is married to the tower owner of the Tower of the Great Sage, and they have been expanding each other's power over the past few years. The Kingdom of Frank keeps recruiting nobles from abroad and encroaching on the territories of other countries. The scale of the war is controlled. In a very small area, there is no big fight. But with that magic tower overwhelming, no one would dare to make such a move if they want to fight."

Hearing such content, Lin frowned slightly and asked, "Has the calm been broken?"

Juan understood what someone said, and it was the peaceful state of Midi for nearly two hundred years. Since the end of the War of Religion, during the two hundred years or so, the borders of all the countries in Midi have not changed. At most, everyone is developing towards an unowned natural environment.

It is true that someone has shaken such a state, but it is far from the peace that someone thought was broken. So Juan said: "It's not a break of peace. After all, many lords choose to be loyal to the queen. Facing the pressure of monsters, when their lords can't provide effective protection, they will fight for their lords. People, choosing a more powerful asylum is a matter of course."

Midi's concept of nation is far inferior to that of Earth after the rise of nationalism. People here still put family first.

In particular, the development of the southwest peninsula took place in the past two hundred years. Everyone is said to be the descendant of the pioneers, and no one really has a noble and inviolable bloodline. The commonly spoken language is still Midicommon. Therefore, there is no sense of identity with each other, only the consideration of interests.

The so-called country is nothing more than a group of neighboring lords huddling together to keep warm, and the country may perish at any time because of a monster riot. This is why the countries in the southwest peninsula are very small.

So as long as someone shows enough strength and doesn't need to fight, someone will naturally turn to him for protection. Obviously, the Kingdom of Frank, with the Tower of the Great Sage as its backer, has become the thickest thigh in the Southwest Peninsula, and naturally there is no shortage of hugs.

As for those who resist, a small test of their skills in the Tower of the Great Sage can make them lose confidence. In the past, the practice of killing all of them as soon as they made a move was far inferior to the way that Queen Yulia and his wife played beautifully together.

In many cases, as long as there is a demonstration, the opponent can bow down and surrender.

"And,—" Juan's story is not finished yet~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is said that there are many tower owners of magic towers in Xijia District who have sworn allegiance. The weight of these people is even heavier than that of noble gentlemen. "

The southwest peninsula was developed late, and there are still many areas that are difficult for living people to penetrate. The biggest contributors to resisting the infestation of monsters and protecting the fire of civilization are the magic towers standing above the wilderness.

However, the arrogance of the magician and the strength of the magic tower as a fortress of war, it can be said that the tower owners are the most rebellious group of people. Even the presidents of all the branches of the Magicians Association have friendship with every tower owner and dare not easily turn against each other. Such people all swear allegiance to a kingdom unimaginable elsewhere.

However, if you think about it in your own shoes, you must know that the five-linked tower was blown up, which is an incredible thing for the magicians in the southwest peninsula. It is a joint building composed of a five-story pagoda at the level of a holy man and four four-story pagodas.

Among the magic towers in the southwestern peninsula of Midi, the Wulian Tower is definitely the number one war fortress. But under the majesty of the tower of the great sage, he couldn't even resist, and it became ruins.

Faced with such a record, which tower owner of the Magic Tower would dare to compete with the tower owner of the Tower of the Great Sage? Too long?

It can be said that the tower owner's oath of allegiance, this unprecedented event, has shaken the southwestern peninsula of Midi.
