Become the city lord from today

It was a cloudy day. It was gloomy all day long. The sun was deeply hidden by the clouds. The color of the sky changed from the blue color before to become like a dirty rag soaked in water. similar color.

In the Silver Light City in the capital of Duke Man'er, Bella was dealing with some matters that had just come to the throne.

Ruian handed over a document and reported,"Your Majesty, this is the financial report on Yinguang City." There are a dozen thick documents, and the fox-eared lady stayed up late for several nights to sort them out.

Bella gently turned her wrist and gestured,"I'll probably give you a report."

"yes. Ruian nodded, opened the document and began to report,"The taxes in Silver Light City are very heavy. There are various taxes, and civilians have to turn in wheat four times every year."......"

Bella listened for more than half an hour and sipped her tea."It's a complete mess. Have you finished the new rules you asked me to draw up?"

Ryan nodded quickly, opened another document and said,"This is based on His Majesty's advice. New regulations compiled into a book"

"I listen."Bella nodded lightly and said

"Cancel all unreasonable taxes, such as city entry tax, book purchase tax, housing tax... and also halve the amount of wheat turned in every year......"Ruian opened the file and continued to report.

The fox-eared girl is happy to do these things. It is a comfortable thing to use wood roll charcoal pen on white paper to write new rules. It is better than the previous tiring work of parchment scrolls and quill pens.

Bella thought about it and ordered,"It's all well arranged. Let me make a few more copies and post them in the most crowded places in Silver Light City."

As the daughter of a duke, she has been staying with her father since she was a child. If you are influenced by what you hear and see, you will probably know how to govern a kingdom, even if you are trying to catch a duck.

Of course, the main example is Chang'an City. You can choose a good place to study.

"Yes, Your Majesty."Ryan responded immediately.

Bella saw that there were several documents in the fox-eared girl's hand and asked,"What else is there? Ruian quickly took out another document and reported,"Your Majesty, this one is about other cities. The nobles have given gifts to show their goodwill.""

"What did you give away? Bella asked curiously, and was a little surprised at the same time.

I thought it would take some time to make the entire nobles of the Man'er Principality surrender, but I didn't expect that a few days after taking the throne, they came to show their kindness, which saved a lot of trouble.

Ruian took out the lists one by one and said,"There are many war horses, draft horses, cattle, and sheep. The total adds up to about a thousand. Bella nodded with satisfaction. This amount is still acceptable, and continued to ask,"What else?""

"There are also more than a thousand pieces of fabric in total, and enough wheat to feed our knights for half a month." Ruian continued to report

"Yes, it's a good start. Then their city's policies should follow those of Silver Light City. Bella ordered.

Since those cities have taken the initiative to show their goodwill, this is an opportunity to implement the new regulations together. Even if the nobles do not agree, they will suppress their dissatisfaction. After all, this will hurt interests, but who will let them She has the power

"Yes, Your Majesty. Ruian recorded it on his notepad, and then sent out a document and said,"Your Majesty, this is a reply about Chang'an City.""

"read."Bella leaned back in her chair.

Ruianhui reported,"Weapons, armor and medicines will be sold to us according to a small portion of the list, but they refused to sell wheat to us."

Bella sighed helplessly and said,"I know, it seems that the violent storm in the past few days has also affected Chang'an City."

The typhoon did not have a great impact on Yinguang City. It only rained heavily for two or three days in a row, occasionally accompanied by strong winds. Because there was no reasonable drainage facilities, a lot of crops were flooded.

"It is said that the coastal cities have the greatest impact, so Chang'an City should support there first." Ryan guessed.

Bella understood and continued to ask,"What about setting up an airship field? Did Your Excellency Liu Feng agree? Ruian nodded excitedly and said with a smile,"Yes, Your Majesty, I have agreed.""

When she first came to the throne, Snake Girl made this request to Liu Feng and wanted to set up an airship field in the Principality of Man'er. Of course, the condition was that the price of saltpeter be reduced by 20% from before. The most important thing is , she sent 3,000 human knights to Liu Feng. I don’t know if they want to use them as slaves or for what purpose.

"Great, with the airship field, it will be much more convenient for Tisi to come here. The most important thing is that Silver City can also develop rapidly. Bella said excitedly.

Ruian adjusted his mood and continued,"Your Majesty, the king of the Han Dynasty said that he wants us to settle down first before he agrees to help us build an airship field.""

"It is true that I have just ascended the throne and everything is unstable, but since I agreed, it’s fine. Bella took a sip of water.

Ruian opened another document with a smile and said,"Your Majesty, Chang'an City has sent a congratulatory gift to congratulate you on becoming king." Bella smiled heartily for a while and asked,"What is it?""

"One hundred bottles of fine perfume, five hundred pieces of fabric, and five hundred jars of cans that can be stored for about three months...and finally some exquisite porcelain.……"Ryan looked at the document report

"Your Excellency Liu Feng is so generous. I would like to write a letter to express my gratitude. Bella said with satisfaction.

Seeing that Obi had finished reporting on the fox-eared girl, he took out a document and reported,"Your Majesty, this is information about the other two principalities."

"Are they starting to gather knights?"Bella guessed.

Obi nodded seriously and reported,"The Principality of Mullin has not made any moves yet. It's the Principality of Chama. They occupied five cities around us."

"snort! Bella snorted coldly and said in a deep voice,"The Principality of Chama wants to take advantage of the situation and sneak in.""

"Your Majesty, ask your subordinates to lead a group of knights to harass them and put some pressure on them."Obi said excitedly.

Bella shook her head and said,"No, we just took over the Principality of Man'er, and we still need to make some internal adjustments. We can't go through another war."

Obi looked puzzled and said anxiously,"Your Majesty, but they won't let us rest."

"They won't make any big moves for the time being. At most, they will harass the surrounding cities and test our current strength. They only need to send some knights to guard the surrounding areas without leaving the city." Bella analyzed

"yes."Obi responded.

Bella put down the cup and ordered,"Obi, please arrange some people to send those human knights to Chang'an City first. By the way, bring the saltpeter stored before, and then bring the medicines, weapons, etc. bring back"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Obi nodded quickly, took out a drawing and said,"Your Majesty, our flag has been designed, please take a look."

Bella's vertical eyes flickered. She took the drawing and began to browse it. After a moment, she said with satisfaction,"Very good, just this flag. After it is mass-produced, every city will have to put it on.""

The Snake Girl's flag is mainly green, with a giant python depicted in the middle, and then there are large swords tilted slightly outward on both sides, which look like a pair of wings. The overall look is very sturdy.

"clear."Obi said excitedly.
