My name is Ren

Chapter 413 Divorce is the oldest strategy, but it is also the most practical and effective strategy

In the empty palace, Queen Pars couldn't help but moved her butt from the throne and stood up.She was wearing a deep red floor-length dress. The textures and patterns outlined by the golden silk thread made her look regal, and the shoulders and collarbone exposed outside the clothes made people's heart beat inexplicably.Every step I take, the trembling chest makes people afraid that the clothes will be torn and exposed.

The manicured eyebrows, carefully trimmed, played a role in Wren, who told Queen Pars that she should at least give her a more dignified look.Queen Pars quickly accepted this suggestion, and made her original good-looking eyebrows sharp and angular, making her more heroic and sharp.

"How? Did he agree?", the charming voice of Queen Pars echoed in the empty palace, the voice was full of majesty, giving people a very intuitive feeling, the owner of this voice must be in control , controlling the life and death of many people.She was a little nervous, and unconsciously clenched her five fingers together into fists.

Gan Wen's dignified face made her a little nervous, and she was relieved until Gan Wen nodded.At Ren's coming-of-age ceremony, she had reached a preliminary consensus with Ren. Gan Wen went to talk with Ren this time to refine the content of the transaction, but she was not at ease.The ghost knows if that guy will drop the pick halfway and make other things happen.Fortunately, everything was as she imagined, and Ren agreed.

The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and her mood became much better. She walked down the steps herself and poured a glass of wine for Gan Wen.The two sat on the sofa where the ministers were sitting and chatted.

"Did Rennes make any unacceptable demands this time?" Queen Pars shook the wine glass in her hand. She was under a lot of pressure recently, otherwise she would not have had a good time with Rennes that night.She needs to release her stress, and love is obviously the most convenient one.

The amber wine reflected an intoxicating luster, Gan Wen hesitated, "I'm not sure if this is an unacceptable request."

Queen Pars tilted her head to look at Gan Wen, raised her chin, "Tell me."

"He made an opinion. He said that if immunity is to be used to replace the death warrant, then the gold aristocracy and the royal family must be at the forefront. We will be the guides and role models of the aristocracy, using our real cases and Take it personally, to dispel the hesitation of those nobles. He made a special point, that is, you must lead the way, otherwise the nobles will find it hard to believe that this immunity will be more meaningful to them than the death warrant."

Empress Pars put down her wine glass in a daze and fell into deep thought.Rennes agreed so readily and gave such excellent advice that Empress Pars couldn't believe that that guy was really Rennes and not someone else.Ren's suggestion is very pertinent, at least that's the first impression of Empress Pars, Ren is a bit too unusual this time.She tried to extract something special from the lines line by line, but after figuring it out over and over several times, she still didn't find anything further.

Has Ryan changed his gender?

impossible!
He must have a deeper purpose, otherwise he would not have agreed so happily, after all, he is also one of the beneficiaries of the death warrant.

After thinking for a long time, Queen Pars asked solemnly: "Then what do you think, is he plotting something?"

Gan Wen smiled wryly and shook his head, with unspeakable doubts on his face, "This is exactly what I don't understand. Maybe Earl Rennes also felt that the aristocratic class has become a disaster. His opinion I've thought about it all the way, and I'm sincerely to the point, if you and us gold nobles don't stand up and make a statement first, those nobles will definitely not change their positions."

"The death redemption order has been implemented for 370 years, and it has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If you want to change it in a short time, you need not only someone to guide you, but also a certain amount of encouragement." Gan Wen said very sincerely, he is a A very smart person also knows the benefits of centralization. Whether it is for himself or for future generations, he must help Queen Pars accomplish this goal, even if he is sacrificed by himself, he will not hesitate.

His children will benefit from sacrificing an old thing of his. In the future, as long as the empire does not perish, any emperor must give him and his family enough respect.Gan Wen doesn't expect any outstanding talents among his descendants to take on his burden. He only hopes that the family will not disappear in the long river of history like the other four extinct families because of the passage of time. .

Queen Pars nodded cautiously, "Where do you think is the best place to open this hole?"

Gan Wen's eyes lit up, and the answer blurted out: "Taxation!"

Because of tax issues, Orlando II abandoned his sword and launched a protracted civil war. Taxes are related to the finances of the empire, as well as local finances and construction issues.

The lords are all faced with a problem, after the empire has collected taxes, how much more can they collect?If they smoked too much, the civilians in the territory would not swallow their anger. They would pack up their bedding and leave the territory directly, immigrating to live in other territories with cheaper taxes.In order to avoid the lack of farmers and residents in their own territories, most nobles implemented very little local taxes on their fiefdoms, accounting for only one-tenth of them, or even not even one-tenth of them in some places.

This is also one of the reasons why nobles participate in so many chambers of commerce, and even smuggle, especially those nobles who do not have minerals and resources in their fiefs, smuggle to a crazy level.With so many seagoing ships in Alexandria, there are almost nobles behind them.If they don't do this, it will be difficult for them to obtain more funds to maintain their strength.

Yes, most of the nobles are very rich, but relatively, the richer the nobles, the more places they need to spend their money.Especially for those lords with fiefs, the fiefs belong to themselves, not to the country. In order to build their own fiefs well, they invest a huge amount of construction funds every year.Is it okay not to invest?Yes, a fief that lacks various social resources cannot attract enough people to settle down, and commoners are not fools, they will still run when they should.

So when Gan Wen opened his mouth, it was taxation.

Taxation is indeed a big killer, as long as it is relaxed a little, it will be enough to attract many nobles to flock here, and they will support Queen Pars' policies for taxation.

Queen Pars nodded, took a deep breath, "Then do as you said, how do you think the adjustment is best?"

"Let the proportion of nobles intercepted increase by [-]%!"

In the early morning of the next day, the entire imperial capital became extremely lively. No. 15 was the day when the regular meeting of the imperial parliament was held. This day had very special significance for the imperial capital and the entire empire.No one knows what kind of changes a policy or regulation that has been passed will bring to this young empire.In particular, the emergence of civilian councilors has brought unprecedented attention to the Imperial Parliament.

Early in the morning, newsgatherers from various newspapers crowded outside the Parliament Hill. They took notebooks and pens and "rounded up" any congressman as much as possible.Members of Parliament also like these "journalists" very much, at least so far, they can use the paper and pen of these reporters to convey their ideas to everyone in every class of the entire empire and seek more support By.

There are other things involved in this, but it is not obvious at present. Members of Parliament promote their ideas to attract businessmen.

Merchants, whether they belonged to the United Business Party or not, discovered that money played a pivotal role in this sacred political center.They often spend a lot of money on policies that are crucial to their careers, or bribe some congressmen with money to approve their proposals.At present, the empire has noticed this, but there is no mature way to introduce it, so it can only be left alone.

Members of Congress were surrounded by groups of reporters, and it was very lively.

When a carriage inlaid with a golden family emblem slowly drove into the Parliament Hill, most of the reporters scattered and surrounded them.

"Count Wren, I heard that you support the proposal of the Truth Party this time, right? Can you talk about why you support the Truth Party? Don't you have an irresolvable conflict with Randolph?", Imperial Daily The reporter rushed to the front, and a large paragraph passed through his mouth, and it took a short time to spit it out, and the words were very clear.

Jasmine and Blair guarded Rennes, pushing away the reporters who squeezed in, leaving enough space for Rennes to move forward.He slightly raised his head, really too lazy to chat with these reporters, who knows what they will write?This point, in fact, has an inseparable connection with Ren himself. If it hadn't been for Herandorf, Ren made all kinds of out of context, and everyone would not have a learning style.

"Count Rennes, I heard that you are a pedophile?"

"Count Wren, there is a folk saying that there is an unspeakable secret between you and Baron Salcomo, how do you want to explain it?"

Standing inside the gate of the Imperial Parliament Building, Ren turned his head and glanced at the reporters who had dispersed to find a new target, and said to Jasmine: "Look up the reporters who asked about my relationship with Salcomo just now, and see who is here Support them behind the scenes!"

The relationship between him and Salcomo is actually not as complicated as the outside world imagined. The two have always been using and willing to be used. To put it bluntly, they are partners in a transaction.This is nothing, but if you want to use this matter to make a fuss, it is not impossible.Even if Rennes cannot be attacked politically, Salcomo can become passive in terms of public opinion.

There is no better news that a party leader is a running dog of the nobility. The ignorant commoners will love this topic and cause a rift in the Industrial and Commercial Party.

The purpose of these people is probably very worth pondering.
