Demon King, you just need to conquer, and your husband will come up with the solution.

It may be a bit difficult to achieve this for the time being, and the current price of sweet potatoes is rising too fast, so we also need to take quick action to solve it.

We can temporarily control the price by purchasing in bulk at 4 magic crystals and selling at 5 magic crystals. This regulation is a mandatory decree, and we cannot allow those big leaf potato vendors to cross this red line. "

Engla nodded after hearing this, but then asked, "But what if some demons don't listen to this order and still raise the price on their own?"

"Don't listen?" At this time, Sophia, who had been silent, smiled contemptuously: "This rule is a decree. If you don't listen, it will be against the law!

Don't worry, I will take care of these stubborn guys when the time comes!"

Chapter 66: Sinner

After Irons worked overnight to come up with a decree to implement macro-control of the price of sweet potatoes, Margaret immediately began to implement it with the utmost initiative.

With the two demon lords, Engla and Sophia, personally pushing forward the process, the entire process of implementing the decree was quite smooth.

Of course, another reason is that because Irons discovered it relatively early, the price increase of sweet potato did not reach a particularly outrageous level, and the sweet potato dealers had not yet lost their minds because of the excessive profits.

In addition, the retail price of 5 magic crystals per pound was quite good for the big-leaf sweet potato vendors, so there was not much opposition.

This actually made Sophia a little disappointed. She was disappointed that these big-leaf sweet potato vendors were all too cowardly and not a single one of them had the courage to break the law.

At first, she was looking forward to seeing some stubborn guys breaking the law, so that she could pick up the gavel in her hand and execute them! Immediate execution!

For this reason, Sophia even complained a few words to Margaret and Irons.

Looking at the faint dark circles behind Sophia's glasses, Irons found her reaction a little difficult to understand. This is clearly reducing your workload, so why are you still unhappy?

Margaret was used to it. And when Margaret whispered to him, Irons learned that the warden of Sofia actually had a quirk.

As a succubus, Sophia's XP system is a bit... weird.

Succubi are basically creatures that are very loyal to their own xp systems, and will decisively woo any race they like.

They are also creatures that have an instinctive pursuit of pleasure, and they are motivated to do whatever makes them happy.

As a succubus, Sophia has only a general interest in normal love between men and women.

When a succubus shows this kind of situation, it can only be said that this succubus must have strayed from vulgar interests in terms of XP.

For example, the previous succubus warden had no interest in love affairs between men and women. What she loved most was holding a whip and wearing a leather jacket, performing some shameful and exciting plays in a dark dungeon.

But it is obvious that Sophia's taste is higher than that heavyweight. She is not interested in dungeon play. What really makes her feel pleasure is sentencing!

The heavier the sentence, the greater the pleasure Sophia feels!

When hearing this, everyone in Ains was dumbfounded. My goodness, could the succubus's XP system be so abstract?

If that's the case... then letting Sophia stand in court for trial is equivalent to asking Ziwei to do it?

Wow...the picture was so beautiful that Irons didn't even dare to think about it, so that his few impressions of Sophia collapsed completely.

For this purpose, Irons went to take a look at the new laws established by Sofia. Wow, Irons can only say wow, these laws are so strict that even Shang Yang would have to call him an expert.

However, Ains did not blame him for this. In troubled times, severe punishments are needed. As for the current situation in Demon King City, Sophia established such stricter laws to stabilize the chaos in Demon King City, which is also beneficial to the development of Demon King City.

Of course, it’s hard to say how much of Sophia’s personal “hobby” is mixed in…

Of course, another thing that happened soon allowed Sophia to release her personal hobbies to a certain extent.

During the process of Engla's control over the Demon King's City market, he keenly noticed that some individual soldiers in his beast-headed demon army seemed to have complaints about the new decree.

Engla was quite confused. It was just adjusting the retail price in the market, not the purchase price. What do you beast-headed demons in charge of the purchase have to complain about?

Engla, who noticed this, felt that something was wrong. Having once led an army of beasts to conquer the prairie, he was very sensitive to such subtle emotional changes among his subordinates.

He had to be insensitive, because it was because he was not sensitive enough to the emotions of his younger brothers that the conflicts between them became irreparable, and eventually the former brothers became enemies who turned against each other.

So Engla immediately arranged for his confidants to follow the clues to investigate why these beast-headed demon soldiers had complaints about the new decree.

Soon, the truth came to light, and even the reason why the retail price of sweet potatoes in the Demon King City market had soared was also investigated.

It turned out that at the beginning, due to the brutal and large-scale purchase of big-leaf potatoes by Demon Castle, the big-leaf potato dealers at that time basically sold all of them to the purchasing team without thinking.

Instead, it left nothing for the customers who came to buy big-leaf sweet potatoes, so much so that in the first few days, customers couldn't even buy big-leaf sweet potatoes in the market.

Some of the beast-headed demons in charge of purchasing and transportation sensed this opportunity and enriched themselves during the transportation, secretly swallowing up a batch of big-leaf potatoes.

They then make a profit by shipping it back to the market and selling it to customers at a higher price than the purchase price.

Then, something interesting happened. The big-leaf sweet potato vendors who had originally only handed the big-leaf sweet potatoes to the purchasing teams found that people would actually buy them even if they retailed them at a higher price.

So they calmed down and stopped selling all the big-leaf potatoes to the fleet. Instead, they raised the price and sold them retail to customers first, and then sold the rest to the fleet.

The sneaky and cunning operation of this group of beast-headed demons actually solved the problem of large-leafed sweet potatoes being unavailable in the market in the first few days.

Of course, the crime of embezzlement can be justified somewhat by this incident, but the subsequent malicious price increase of the big-leaf potato cannot be justified at all.

This group of beast-headed demon soldiers were not satisfied after tasting the sweetness and wanted to earn more, so they caused the price of big-leafed sweet potatoes to rise sharply in the market of Demon King's City.

After investigating this series of reasons, Engla reported them to Margaret.

And the order Margaret gave was very simple: catch!

Therefore, Sophia's law enforcement team immediately went out to capture the group of beast-headed demon soldiers who were disrupting the market, and these soldiers were eventually brought to the court of the Demon King's City.

The fate that awaited them was, of course, the sentence of "Death penalty! Execute immediately!" pronounced by the warden of Sofia himself.

This public trial was held in the Demon King's City Square in full view of the public. It not only served as a warning to those who were planning to do something shady in the bigleaf yam trade, but also demonstrated the determination of the Demon King's Castle to all residents of the Demon King's City.

Irons was also watching the trial, of course, his attention might be a little bit special...

Seeing Sophia's face flush slightly after she knocked down the wooden hammer, Irons remained silent.

Well, it seems that what Margaret said is right. This succubus warden is indeed... a little different from ordinary people...

And in that public trial, there was actually a special sinner, that was... Engla.

After finding out the reasons for everything, the old man almost immediately ran to the Demon King's Castle to apologize to Margaret.

However, Margaret was unwilling to punish him. After all, Engla did nothing wrong. It was his subordinate soldiers who were cheating and taking advantage of the situation. Engla had no control over this.

The fact that the truth of this matter was revealed was even possible because of Engla's sharpness, and he should not be punished in any way.

However, Engla doesn't think so. He believes that he is also responsible for his subordinates' execution errors and cannot escape blame.

This made Margaret feel troubled. At this time, it was Irons who spoke up and gave Engla a "punishment".

He walked up to Engla, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Mr. Engla, after the investigation, you came to report to Margaret as soon as possible. Obviously, you are very clear and do not intend to forgive yourself.

In this case, since you have shown enough sincerity, we will deal with the matter seriously. In the final analysis, the whole thing is actually due to your poor management of the army, Mr. Engla.

Since Engla has mismanaged the army, I will punish you...temporarily prohibit you from managing your own army, and transfer the management rights to someone else! Engla, do you accept this?"

When Ains gave this punishment, Margaret and Engla were shocked. Margaret wanted to ask who would command the beast-headed demon army without Engla, but seeing Ains's relaxed expression, she restrained her desire to speak.

As for Engla, although he was surprised, he still nodded and accepted the punishment: "I accept it."

Irons nodded and continued, "Very good. As for the person to be handed over, I will temporarily take over. Engla, do you accept it?"

"I accept!"

“Well, now, as the commander-in-chief of the Beast-Headed Demon Army, I have to make the following orders. First, I appoint you, Lord Engla, as the deputy commander of the Beast-Headed Demon Army.

Second, I require you to immediately reduce the bloated size of your troops.

Third, we will reorganize the beast-headed demon army after the repairs and reductions, and I will give you the reference specifications for the reorganization in a few days.

Fourth, carry out rectification of the discipline and concepts within the Beast-Headed Demon Army. The new army should establish a new atmosphere. As for the principles of rectification, they will be handed over to you in a few days.

five……"

As Ains, under the guise of punishment, gradually proposed the key points of the new army's reform, Engla was already in speechless shock.

Where is the punishment?

This is clearly teaching myself how to manage military discipline in the future and how to prevent the corresponding embezzlement from occurring in the army again!

After Ains finished speaking, he looked up at Engla and asked with a smile: "How about it, Engla, do you accept my punishment?"

Engla was completely speechless about the "punishment" given to him by Irons. All he could do was bow his head to Irons.

"I accept, Master Irons..."

Before this, Engla would only bow his head to the devil.

Chapter 67: Elders’ Urgency to Get Married

When everything was settled, Margaret, the two Demon Lords, and Ains gathered in the hall of the Demon King's Castle, eating the jam mochi baked by Ains himself and feeling a rare sense of leisure.

This gathering was not a formal parliament, but more of a casual gathering where a few people gathered together for afternoon tea, snacks and chatting.

Even the place where the four people sat was not the usual parliamentary round table, but a small square dining table near the window sill. They made some hot tea and put out a fruit basket and snacks. Everyone put aside the relationship between superiors and subordinates and relaxed.

It is no surprise that the person who proposed this proposal was Irons.

Even Margaret rarely took off her majestic side in front of the two demon kings. She put on loose casual clothes, sat relaxed and even lazily in a rocking chair, eating jam mochi.

As she ate, she couldn't help but sigh, "Ah... I never thought that just purchasing big-leafed sweet potatoes would cause so much trouble... The law is obviously good, but why are there always so many unexpected problems when it comes to implementation..."

Irons laughed and said, "Margaret, there is no perfect law in this world, and all reforms will have drawbacks that are difficult for us to discover.

What we need to do is to keep observing and make compensation and corrections for areas that have been neglected in the reform before the situation gets out of control and conflicts arise.

If the Demon King's City wants to progress and change, problems will arise in the process. This is just a foreplay, and there will be more problems waiting for you later. Don't take it lightly. "

Hearing what Ains said, Margaret took a deep breath in distress. As a demon king, Margaret had obviously taken the most difficult path.

She did not choose to use her powerful strength to intimidate and rule the Demon Realm, nor did she choose to blindly rely on her own strength to invade the human world.

Instead, he chose to calm down and seek development for the Demon King's City and a different future for the demon clan.

This was a road that had never been taken before, and Margaret was destined to walk a difficult path, but she also walked very firmly.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, Margaret will never give up, not to mention... she has the strongest support, Irons by her side.

Warden Sophia, who was also at the gathering, smiled disdainfully while holding a teacup, and said, "Don't worry, Lord Demon. I will take care of those who are up to no good and try to exploit loopholes in the law to disrupt the reform plan. I will give them all... the death penalty! Immediate execution!"

As she spoke, Sophia made a gesture of knocking a wooden hammer and knocked the teacup on the table, then she reached out, picked up a mochi, put it in her mouth and started eating.

Feeling the sweet fruity aroma of the jam mochi, the warden couldn't help but reveal a happy expression. It seems that the love for desserts is common to all women and has nothing to do with race.

However, regarding Sophia's obsession with the death penalty, Irons could only say awkwardly, "You might be a little too extreme..."

The atmosphere of the party was quite relaxed, but among the participants, there was one person who couldn't relax. There was a hint of shame on Engla's face, and it was obvious that he had not yet come to terms with the affairs of his own army.

Seeing this, Margaret sighed, waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "Engra, don't blame yourself anymore. Hasn't Ains already punished you accordingly? Relax and have some snacks."

"punish……"

Hearing this word, the shame on Engla's face increased instead of diminishing. The points raised by Ains were not a punishment at all. They were clearly giving him a chance to teach him how to command the army.

Engla was already sufficiently impressed by Ains' fairness and tolerance, and later, when Ains handed over the new method of reorganizing the army and the policy of military governance to him, he had nothing to say.

The ideas on military management provided by Ains really opened the door to a new world for Engla. It was the first time he discovered that the army could be managed in this way!

In fact, among the thirteen demon lords, Engla considered himself to be a demon lord who was more adept at commanding the army. After all, as the lord of the ferocious beasts who once led a group of ferocious beast brothers to dominate the Serir prairie, Engla naturally had his own skills in how to manage his subordinates.

But when faced with the new military management methods given to them by Irons, these two skills really became just two skills.

These days, Engla basically spent all his time on the military reorganization methods and military governance policies provided by Ains. The content was extremely exquisite, and every in-depth study allowed Engla to gain new insights.

Before, Engla might have just regarded Ains as a human who could be helpful to the Demon Realm and the husband of the new Demon King.

And now, Engla has completely put aside her contempt for Ains. All signs indicate that the Demon King's decision to choose this human to be her husband was an extremely wise and correct one!

The influence this human being can have on the Demon Realm in the future is immeasurable!

Therefore, Engla undoubtedly became the first member of the Wangfu faction among the Thirteen Demon Lords.

Of course, this does not mean that Engla despises the Demon King. As a veteran of four dynasties, Engla's loyalty to the Demon King is beyond doubt. However, in his opinion, the importance of Ains is also beyond doubt.

The Demon King and the Prince must be tied together tightly. Only in this way can the Demon Realm have the best future!

Therefore, this illustrious demon king, like an impatient father-in-law, did something very nagging... urging marriage.

"Sir Margaret, please forgive me for being blunt. Your Excellency the King's Husband has been waiting in the Demon King's Castle for more than half a month, but the arrangements for the wedding are still a little too slow in my opinion.

I think it is necessary to urge the Ape-Blood Queen to improve the efficiency of wedding-related matters.

Hmm... In addition, I think it is necessary to increase the scale of the wedding. Only in this way can we show the importance of His Excellency the King to the people of Demon King City..."

Engla said a lot to Margaret, and it can be summed up in four words: get married quickly!

Margaret was really surprised by the pressure of marriage from her subordinates, but after she came to her senses, she couldn't help laughing.
