So what if I was reincarnated as a horse girl trainer!

It's very strange, she seems to have quite a lot of power.

"Guess?" Eclipse gave him a playful look.

"You are the horse girl who once became the queen?"

"Guess again?"

“Are you the one who actually holds power in Europe?”

"Guess again?"

Lin Sheng rolled his eyes at her. With her mysterious identity, how could he possibly guess it?

"Hmm." Eclipse pinched his chin and thought. If he wasn't thinking about how to make up a story, he was wondering whether to confess.

"You just said that you gave the Queen's land to her? Since it's British land, it should still belong to the Queen, right?"

"That's true. According to the ancient saying, anyone who owns land is equivalent to a landlord. Western nobles can collect taxes on the land they manage." Eclipse began to talk slowly.

"But land didn't just come out of thin air. Even the emperor had to conquer it with his troops."

"I realised the value of land a few years ago and bought some, so now I own a lot of land."

"The UK is considered one of the earliest countries to launch the horse racing girl movement. Every year, the revenue from horse racing accounts for half of the country's national income, and I am the manager. Do you think I own half of the UK?"

After hearing what Eclipse said, Lin Sheng was quite surprised. If the amount was so huge, it was really not a small sum.

According to Eclipse, she is the highest administrator of the Uma Musume Association, so the assets she owns are truly enough to support a country.

Rather, it is better to say that the whole of Britain depends on her for survival.

The Queen of England really needs to think carefully about her attitude towards her. Not having a solar eclipse is equivalent to losing half of her kingdom.

"Shouldn't horse racing in the UK be managed by the royal family?" Mr. Lin asked again.

"Yes, I'm a member of the royal family. I'm just focusing on my Uma Musume business now. Some of the profits go into the national treasury, right? Of course, all that money goes into the city's development and construction. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to this."

"How could you disagree? It's the same here as in Japan. We don't have to pay it into the national treasury, right?"

"In the early years, we didn't use it, just like in Japan, but you can't stop others from being jealous. I used 10% of the profits for city construction, and the rest for field maintenance and tournament prize money. This way, I didn't have any income, so no one said anything."

"Hearing you say that, I still think things are a bit outrageous here in the UK."

Should we say that this place is worthy of being the birthplace of horse racing?

The high income may be related to the fact that there are generally royal aristocrats here.

"I'd also like to ask, are all the Uma Musume Associations around the world under your control?"

"Yes." Eclipse nodded directly. "Even if other countries want to hold competitions or establish associations, they must first obtain my approval. The reason... cannot be explained."

"Are you talking about global revenue, or just the UK?"

"It's a bit far-fetched to say it's just the UK. It also includes some overseas income, but the main focus is on the UK. After all, it's their own country. I won't use money from other countries to pay taxes to the UK. That's unreasonable."

After a moment of thought, Eclipse continued, "In the UK, the royal family primarily funds the maintenance of sports venues and school education, so it's not unreasonable for them to collect a portion of the tax. As long as the prize money for the tournaments can be used normally, that's fine."

If you put it that way, Lin Sheng could understand.

In fact, it is equivalent to the UK organizing a competition with its own money and collecting the money itself.

If this tax is not paid, everyone will just play for themselves, and Eclipse will still have to spend its own money on maintaining the venue and school management and education.

You may earn more money, but you will not get royal support. For example, the cost of repairing Chantilly starts at 100 million, which is a lot of expenses.

"And France?"

"Just like in the UK, a portion of the proceeds will be handed over to the government. It's similar in other countries. The Japanese horse racing industry still needs to develop to avoid paying taxes. I'll still give some in the future. You should understand the relationship building process."

Lin Sheng did understand, but he felt something was wrong because he didn't pay taxes. The only company that dared not to pay taxes was Saima Musume.

Since the government has received money, it will naturally be more willing to allow the horse racing industry to develop.

Chapter 885: She is the father of ten thousand horses?

Japan actually does pay taxes, which are deducted from the bonuses earned by Ma Musume, but it is only a small amount, which is far from the half of the country's total income in the UK.

It turns out that the development of Japan's horse racing industry depends entirely on the sentiment of winning the Arc de Triomphe, while the development of the West still depends on money.

As a British citizen, it is understandable that she helps Britain make money, but I think she is being too selfless.

Did she really not make a penny from it?

Dubai is funded by the royal family, and they don’t make a penny from it. There is no entrance fee, registration fee, parking fee... everything is free.

So there is no money to be made from the solar eclipse.

Maybe rich people like to say things like “I regard money as dirt”.

Lin Sheng had no idea how rich she was, but he estimated that Eclipse had enough money to buy the whole of Britain.

"Where does your money come from?"

"Didn't I just say that? I bought a lot of land a few years ago, and all the money I earned over the years was used to buy land."

Eclipse pointed to a villa and said, "See that place? The Royal Court Mansion, where the nobles gather."

She pointed at herself again, "Mine, this is the annual income."

She held up five fingers, wanting Lin Sheng to guess whether it was 50 million or 5 billion.

Mr. Lin was eating silently. Do you want me to guess?

Suddenly, he felt that being just a viscount was no longer enough.

The land around Buckingham Palace is yours?

The place called the King's Land, you say it's yours?

Well, Britain is really different now. In the past, British land belonged to Britain, but now even the Queen may not have the money to buy a piece of land.

If the royal family wants money nowadays, they can only earn it themselves. It is said that the Queen has also started paying taxes after being criticized by the public.

Taxes do not belong to the Queen either. The money in the treasury has always been used to prepare for natural disasters, wars, or urban development.

"So what is your status in Europe?"

Soon, several maids brought out the prepared meal. The dishes were very rich. Lin Sheng was quite satisfied and started eating quickly after taking the bowl.

The guards and maids here seemed to dislike talking and always had stern faces, much like Miura Bourbon in her usual state.

Maybe it's what Eclipse said, you can't speak casually in the royal family, you only speak when they ask questions.

"I'm a former royal family, I guess. I don't have any real power, but they all have to respect me. The implicit power is greater than the actual power."

"understood."

Bored while eating, Lin Sheng asked again, "Didn't you get a title or official position?"

At this time, he thought of a profession, Bi Ma Wen.

A job that helps the Jade Emperor raise horses.

However, Eclipse is a bit strong. If this is a world of horse girls, then she is the highest administrator of this world of horse girls.

The King of Umamusume? The Father of Ten Thousand Horses?

"I don't need it. It's not like they ask me to manage Uma Musume, and they can't control me. I have a relatively hidden identity and don't accept any public rewards or honors from the royal family. Generally speaking, few people know of my existence."

Why does this sound familiar?

Just like what a certain bad guy said.

Indeed, she was not working for anyone, and since she had no official position, she was not bound by any royal constraints.

"Because I have connections with countries all over the world, no country can control me."

After talking for a long time, Lin Sheng just felt that she was very awesome and respected her a lot, but he still didn't know what her status was.

The God of this world?

She is the great-granddaughter of a certain Triple Goddess, so it seems reasonable to say that she is a god.

After a while, Eclipse reminded Lin Sheng, "The title of nobility is very important in Britain. Commoners consider it an honor to stand up and make their own decisions. Furthermore, the laws of the British nobility are different from those of commoners. The nobility have their own set of small courts. If you come into contact with them, you will understand. Generally speaking, the higher-ups have the final say, and the situation is just like a family dispute."

Eclipse talked to himself, occasionally picking up his chopsticks to eat something.

From what she said, nobles usually settle crimes privately because they don't want the scandal to be public, and they may pay money to settle the matter.

The law is of no use to them, and civilians have no place to seek redress for their grievances even if they do not want to pay.

Of course, they have paid the money and apologized, but if you still want them to obey the law, then you are really asking for trouble.

The common people themselves cannot defeat the nobles, so how can they be made to obey the law?

If the situation is serious and harmful, the Queen will also deal with it.

For example, the Queen would deprive the other person of his title and rights and demote him to a commoner, so that he could enjoy the people's law.

But in modern times, information is almost always public, and no noble would do that unless they are a fool.

Even the queen is denounced by the common people, let alone the nobles.

There is indeed a vivid example in history where the queen's son, who was most likely to inherit the throne, was expelled from the royal family.

However, that was many years later, when the queen was about to pass away. It was too early to talk about this now, and Lin Sheng didn't want to meddle in the royal family's affairs.

I guess the same is true for Eclipse. Even if they know the history of the royal family, they would not want to come into contact with the royal family.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Sheng was full and satisfied. "Not bad. I think I've overcome the problem of acclimatization."

Eclipse chuckled and said, "Come on, this is the imperial palace, of course it's different. You can't just stay here forever."

"Haha, I understand. Can you prepare some for Huanhuan and the others as well?"

"Don't worry! Someone has already delivered it. If you're full, I can take you around. This is Buckingham Palace, there are many places to visit. Or you can go back and rest first."

Because Lin Sheng had just arrived and had been on a flight for a day and a night, Eclipse didn't want to force him.

Lin Sheng didn’t feel that tired, he just disappeared when he arrived, it would be bad to go back late, he had to go back.

"Go back and rest first, then go out for a walk in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll take you back."

-

When he returned to the gate of the mansion, Lin Sheng saw that the two guards who helped them with their luggage were still there, standing guard at the door like wooden stakes.

"What is this?" Lin Sheng pointed at the two guards and looked at Eclipse.

Is this surveillance or protection?

Eclipse just waved at him, and then they were gone.

"Oh, you don't know, the imperial city is different from the common people. You may encounter danger at any time."

"Ah? Is there danger here too?" Lin Sheng asked in confusion.

"Of course, the Queen has been assassinated more than once or twice. That's just how the royal family is. Whether the ruler is wise or not, there will always be danger. Those people might want to overthrow the monarchy. In short, this place is not completely safe."

"Then you should call them back." After hearing that the queen would also be assassinated, Lin Sheng didn't want to stay here any longer.

Chapter 886: It turns out that the reason for not being able to run is that you ate too much.

"Oh, don't worry about that. You're not a target, and there are guards patrolling here frequently, so nothing will happen."

"It better be this way."

Although I am still a little worried, I can't be too pessimistic.

Even if there was an assassin, he wouldn't be able to appear in the palace.

Because, unlike previous emperors, the queen often patrols the streets, and the best time to strike is when she is out, not now.

The palace is heavily guarded, and with the solar eclipse present, it is basically impossible for anything to happen.

"Okay, I'll go back first and come see you later."

"it is good."

Eclipse did not follow Lin Sheng into the house. He stood at the door and watched Lin Sheng go in before leaving.

-

The mansion where they were temporarily staying was very large and spacious, and the interior was also quite luxurious.

The golden wall is brilliant under the illumination of the wall lamp.
