Chapter 12 The Pain of the Empire

Three hundred years ago, Rez

After Fabir established the Wind Empire, his relatives naturally ascended to heaven with the chickens and dogs.

A generation of geniuses understand that these people are mostly people who have failed to do anything and have enough trouble, but they just have a title for them to be idle and do not do anything.

At first these guys are only twenty or thirty, but they can give birth and have offspring.

Although the fertility of the new humans is very low, the number of beauties around the nobles is too amazing.

The prolific result is naturally more. The sons and grandsons give birth to great-grandsons, the direct descendants, the aunts and aunts, all of them came to the emperor to cheat for a title and make a living.

As time goes by, the three golden dragons change shifts one after another. These guys who only eat imperial grain but don’t do things are like snowballs. In order to support them, they spend a lot of rice and grain from the empire.

Rez

Fabir was very foresighted, worried that these descendants would not succeed and would lose their family business. It stipulated that the children of the royal family would not be awarded titles without military merit.

After Rez's death, his smart descendants tried every means to send their children into the army to contribute to the country.

Therefore, the Imperial Dragon Knights, which had the best treatment and the strongest combat effectiveness, became the ladder for these Eight Banners children to be promoted, and the Imperial Dragon Knights also became a noble knights.

Although emperors of all dynasties have been considerate of these royal relatives, the subsidies given to them are too small, which is not enough to allow the royal relatives to live a life of rich life and prosperity.

As the descendant of the greatest dragon warrior in the world, we can't live a life as frugal as a civilian, right?

In order not to let others say that the descendants of the Bill family lived too stingy and lost the face of a generation of geniuses. The nobles were forced to borrow some money from the people and make some money. These measures are really necessary and necessary. It must be done.

Therefore, in the past, one person in the empire paid an average of three gold coins a year, but now it is different. You have to pay a stove tax when you eat, dust tax when you walk, bed tax when you sleep, and even those who die at home have to pay a death tax.

But the royal relatives' expenses are too great. It is not enough to borrow money from the people. Besides, we must leave a way out for them. We cannot scrape too hard to avoid public anger.

For this reason, the nobles learned to do business

In order to support aristocrats of all sizes and increase domestic fiscal revenue, the emperor set up a lot of taxation checks in the country

For example, a truckload of wine from Gregorian Highlands, which produces good wine in the south, is only more than 400 miles away, but there are twelve checkpoints on the way and pay twelve tariffs. After entering Fengdu City, the price has increased by seven times.

According to the principle, excessive tariffs do not have a great impact on profiteers who are based on the principle of being merciless. According to the principle that wool comes from sheep, it is only necessary to pass on taxes to the final consumers.

But in order to let everyone drink cheap wine, they severely attacked these civilian-born businessmen

All the nobles of all sizes use their close relationship with the Imperial Dragon Knights to let the caravans' trucks put on military seals and cross the border in the name of military supplies, without any obstacles along the way, avoiding wasting time and money on the road, saving time and money, and subsidizing the household income of the vast number of nobles and reducing the burden on civilians. They can kill all kinds of things. Why not do such a good thing?

This approach has come to the seventh emperor of the empire, Aola, who is famous for his good male style.

Fabir's hands are getting worse, which leads to the bankruptcy of a large number of small and medium-sized merchants. The originally wealthy living standards of the imperial civilians have also declined greatly. In recent years, the empire has been full of complaints.

I am not very good at brewing skills, but I am thankful for the empire's heavy taxes. I secretly brew private wine and have earned a lot of money in the past few years.

Although my father was a famous Duke, there were too many women.

You know, if a woman is more expensive, she will also spend more, and he doesn't know how to borrow money from the people and the country, so he did not leave much inheritance for his poor son.

The aristocratic bureaucrats' smuggling activities through the army seriously undermined the economic order of the empire and even affected the normal operation of the country. This is what Master Mancini said about the pain of the empire.

A genius Rez

The Empire State Building, which Fabill spent his whole life building, is being corroded little by little by little by little by little by little.

※※※※ Long live the empire (tax)! I said

Ten thousand taxes? You can think of it? Master Mancini couldn't help laughing. What do you think about this? He asked

The emperor is fifty-one years old. When Princess Ruyue inherits the throne, everything will be fine. I said, in fact, this is also what most people in the empire think.

The emperor has no sons, only two daughters, and Princess Ruyue is his heir

No matter what, Princess Ruyue is much more enlightened than his foolish father

Is this really going to happen? The high priest shook his head, not seeming to agree with my point of view, then he turned his head and looked at Bordeaux

I don't know anything? I don't know what you are talking about? My old friend waved his hand and made a gesture that he couldn't understand anything.

Maybe it was the high priest smile, that kind of smile, very strange

The carriage calmed down for a while, and I felt a little bored and decided to get off the car

I'm leaving, do a favor? I said to Xuezhi

What's the matter? She looked at me with her watery eyes open

Don't tell Kama that I saved her, and don't say that I am the Dragon Warrior. I'm not only saying this to Xuezhi, but also to everyone in the carriage.

Why, boss, isn't Her saves beauty very good? Bordeaux looked at the man who was about to wake up and said to me in a daze, but to be honest, the unconscious Kama looks a bit more feminine, and can deceive a large number of men with unknown witch names

Then what should I say if she asks me who saved her? Xuezhi asked

Just say it was him! I pointed my hand at Bordeaux

What?

Bordeaux was surprised by the good things that fell from the sky. However, as the best friend I have worked with for many years and have been playing with big games, Bordeaux quickly understood what I meant. At first, he was stunned for a moment, then pretended to give in, and finally, under my encouragement and begging, he accepted it reluctantly.

You guys, I really can't understand what you are doing? Lans, who is still a child, opened her beautiful big eyes and looked at us with strange actions in confusion.

The carriage stopped, I pushed open the car door and jumped down, wait a moment, Master Mancini, the son of Keith, stopped me, I have something to say to you

His left hand climbed on the edge of the door, stuck his head out of the car door and said to me, Young man, grasp everything you have now, don't let them lose a lot of things. Once you lose it, even if you dominate the world, you can't make up for the whole world. He said to me seriously

Why do you all speak strangely and always love to play puzzles with others? Is this how to show your ability? At this time, I was very proud of myself for successfully bringing disasters to the east, and I didn't care much about the advice of the master

Remember my words, many things are only once in a lifetime. Once you lose them, you can't make up for the whole world even if you have them. Master Mancini said as he looked at me deeply with a solemn look. That look seemed to have seen my soul all at once, making me feel a little shivered. He seemed to see my future

The car door closed, and the carriage carried the empire's high priest towards the palace

What does this mean? Why do Xingjians speak in the same tone? They always like to say a little word?

I touched my big head and didn't quite understand what the master said

Forget it, ignore him, while Kama is away, go and date Hira first. Don't think about something you can't figure it out, I told myself

I took a strong breath of air and looked up at the sky. The sunshine today is very bright, the air is very fresh, there are no worries, it's good to be young.

In the following days, my life was divided into two halves, and the days passed in a mess.

My friend, after more than a month, the power of the Jade Dragon in his body awakened. Soon he was named the emperor as an earl and became the descendant of the Jade Dragon recognized by the empire.

This kid, tempted and encouraged by me, pestered that hateful man and woman all day long

Although Kama has a ruthless and sharp mouth and fast fist, her old friend has a thicker skin and high martial arts skills, which makes her dizzy, which clears a lot of obstacles for my date with Sheila.

Although it seems very immoral to have two women at the same time, I, who is only eighteen years old, care about these things.

Besides, the wars in the empire have always been like a lot of men and women, and it is not too much for husband and wife. If you really want to insist on monogamy, I believe that many beauties in the empire will be single for the rest of their lives. I will do this for their own good.

When my body was against Sheila's shoulders and smelled the fragrance of lilies on her body, I couldn't help but think so

Like me, Sheila also has the blood of a demon, and she also has the power of transforming the fallen angel.

Two years ago, when I accidentally met her, her beautiful and holy temperament deeply attracted my heart

In order to pursue her, I found the tree piano I threw away from the utility room at home. I practiced it hard for a long time so that I could get close to her who likes music very much

In terms of physicality, Xuezhi's enthusiastic connections, in terms of relationships, in terms of thick skin, and a mouth that specifically deceives girls, as well as the reaction caused by Kama's disruption caused by external pressure, I finally successfully won her heart.

However, for some reason, it's not just because I especially like the feeling of being in tune with each other

Although the temperature of our relationship has been rising sharply, I have never taken advantage of Sheila. At most, I just took her jade hand and touched her shoulders. I didn't even kiss her mouth. Maybe it was because her temperament was too similar to a saint, which made me unable to bear to destroy her holiness.

Once, I had the courage to tell her that I was willing to make any sacrifices for her

You are so thick-skinned. Sheila smiled and pointed it at my nose with her fingers.

I love you more than a hundred billion times to die! I said in a very serious and pious tone

What can be proved? She asked me

I grabbed Sheila's crystal-clear fingers and kissed her gently. Sheila immediately blushed. This was also the closest contact between us.

If you encounter danger, as long as you call my name, even if I am far away from the end of the world, I will fight to come back to save you!

This is my promise! I patted my chest and said
