"I know that many people don't believe me, and I don't like to prove themselves by saying big words. Let time test whether it is true or false, but what I want to say is that as subjects of the Magic Kingdom, all you have to do is surrender to your king. This is your task, and my task is to ensure that you will live and be loyal to the Magic Kingdom!"

Listening to Zhang Fan's powerful words, the people below were somewhat confused.

Compared to the kind and kind Sorcerer King, this person's personality is more like a ruthless soldier.

"Long live the Magic Kingdom!"

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and then people began to echo.

"Long live!"

"Long live the Magic Kingdom!"

“Will you really protect us?”

"Will the Magic Kingdom really go to war with other countries for us?"

......

"Ao Lunsang, your speaking skills are much better than mine. I didn't know what to say when I was there just now."

When Zhang Fan returned to his seat, Fei Shi hurriedly said in a low voice.

"I also tried to hold it in, and it looked pretty good." Zhang Fan was also filled with luck at this time. He actually performed on the spot just now, and the manuscript he had memorized had long forgotten all the time.

Fortunately, I have seen a lot of brainwashing publicity in my previous life, otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to write it out even if I wanted to.

The ceremony continued in an orderly manner, first with a gift, then with a series of things such as announcing policies, giving speeches, and accepting blessings from foreign envoys.

It is worth mentioning that only the empire sent people from the outside world, and there was no movement in other countries.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. After all, the Magic Kingdom has not yet formed a certain scale, so it is naturally not taken seriously by people. Most people's attention is probably still focused on the division of the kingdom, so there is no time to pay attention to a small country that has just been established.

After a long while, the complicated ceremony finally ended. Zhang Fan originally thought it would be enough to just say a few words, but the subsequent events were somewhat beyond his expectations.

The ruling class generally likes to show their differences from civilians through different means, so it is a carnival for civilians during the day, but some people with self-identities are naturally unwilling to do so, so he has to force himself to attend a banquet at night.

The initiator of the banquet was a man named Soduen Lech Balotos. According to the information provided by Dimigos, his profession should be a businessman, but his business was not very big, and most of his main business was in the royal city. Now that the royal city is in turmoil, most of his property is also destroyed in this war, and eventually fled to the Magic Kingdom like a stray dog.

The banquet was in the best restaurant in Jelandtierri. Although it was much worse than the royal city, it was already considered a ceiling-level luxury in Jelandtierri.

The invitation to the banquet was delivered to him after the ceremony. Zhang Fan didn't know what the other party was thinking, but from a normal mindset, it was extremely impolite to invite others on the banquet.

So Zhang Fan refused almost without thinking at that time, but unexpectedly, the other party handed over not only an invitation, but also a letter in the invitation.

The content of the letter was the main reason that prompted him to agree.

"Sometimes wars may not require force to resolve. At some point, money is easier to win people's hearts than force. If you don't dislike it, please ask the Regent to come and have a sigh tonight. I promise that you can definitely see a different war. Although there is no blood, the degree of cruelty is much higher than that of force!"

Looking at the content of the letter, Zhang Fan couldn't help swallowing the words he wanted to refuse directly, and he felt a little curious.

He doesn't understand business matters, but he still knows some about economic wars. Sometimes when the two countries fight, you may have lost before you go to the battlefield.

Although Zhang Fan didn't like it very much, he didn't mind seeing it. After all, in the future, all parts of the country will have to use money, so they can't always let them subsidize them.

As the griffin car stopped, Zhang Fan, wearing a melanin suit, slowly walked out of it. Although this outfit was not as dazzling as the daytime item, it gave people a sense of powerlessness without anger.

Originally, Zhang Fan wanted to call Feishe, but when the other party learned the specific situation, he pushed it to him directly, with the reason that he was invited by the letter, and he would be inappropriate in the past.

Zhang Fan was really unable to complain about this reason, but he also understood that Feishe actually hated scenes like banquets during the game, especially when they were strangers, it would be better to kill him than to let him participate.

After discussing for a long time, Zhang Fan had no choice but to attend in person. He also thought about letting Xiao Di attend on his own, but he was afraid that if there would be any misunderstandings during the economic war, Xiao Di would think more and more so that he and Fei Shi could no longer keep up with the rhythm, it would be really funny at that time.

So for the sake of safety and protection of the dignity of the ruler, he has to go there no matter what.

Zhang Fan walked forward and slowly opened the door. When the door was pushed open, a hall that seemed to be made of gold and various jewelry appeared in front of him.

There are two long tables arranged in the wide hall, filled with various delicacies. Judging from the decoration, the other party seems to have lost money.

But he was the only one in the hall at this time, which surprised him a little.

"Soduen Lech Barlotus see His Highness the Regent!"

Just as Zhang Fan was a little surprised at the scene where there was no one in front of him, a magnetic male voice suddenly rang out on the stage.

As the sound rang out, a man in a slim black robe slowly walked out of it.

The man has conspicuous short red hair, fair skin as delicate as a woman, and his eyes are small and slightly raised. It makes people think of the word shrewd at first glance.

"To be honest, I have to admit one thing, you are very brave, you only invited me for the whole banquet, right?"

The moment he saw the man, Zhang Fan seemed to understand something.

He knew about this restaurant and had been here before. It would not be like this now. Judging from the decoration of the hall today, this guy probably paid for the money to renovate the place once.

Such a huge project could naturally not be completed in one or two days. At that time, when he was decorating, it was probably that the empire had not sent anyone to him, but this person had already started the renovation plan.

You know, most of his property has been lost in the kingdom. Judging from the momentum, the other party may have smashed all his money in the end, but what Zhang Fan didn't understand was what actually made this guy suppress his entire life?

"The villain dares not deceive the Regent. Yes, you are the only guest at this banquet!" Soduen said after kneeling on one knee and giving a big gift to Zhang Fan.

"You'd better give me a reasonable statement, otherwise I wouldn't recommend an extra body in the Hanging Square."

Hearing this, Zhang Fan pulled a chair and went up. His shape and manner were filled with a murderous aura.

This man is really brave and dares to tease him like this.

You should know that going to a banquet and going to a meeting are completely different things. The former is to give face to someone, while the latter is to give face to someone.

Under normal circumstances, he should have come to visit him. As a result, this guy dared to set up a plan to bring him to the country. Fortunately, Dimiugos did not send him to the city today, otherwise this guy might have been sent to Happy Ranch before he could even say anything.

It’s also a blessing that I don’t value this rule, otherwise any king would definitely not be able to tolerate this matter.

"Please calm down the anger of the Regent. The villain knows that this time he is too reckless, but since you can come, it means you agree with my ideas, right?"

Seeing Zhang Fan getting angry, Soduen immediately changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees and lowered his head and begged for mercy.

Looking at Soduen who was kneeling on the ground, Zhang Fan just silently took out a stick of incense from the inventory.

Bang!

As Zhang Fan snapped his fingers, a little spark suddenly appeared between his fingers and ignited the fragrance.

"If you haven't convinced me before this incense is burned, then I can only ask you to die."

After saying that, Zhang Fan inserted the incense stick into the wooden table with a little force.

Hearing this, Soduen immediately raised his head and looked at Zhang Fan, then glanced at the burning incense stick with his eyes. The fear in his eyes finally subsided.

He bet right, the Regent's temper was not as terrified as he thought.

In fact, he knew that this was very risky, but at this time he had no other choice. His property and his family had disappeared with the turmoil in the royal city. If he hadn't had a batch of treasures hidden outside the city, he would probably have lived as a homeless man.

"It has been more than two months since the villain came to Yelantire. During these days I am watching you implement those bills bit by bit. You first confiscate the land and then distribute it to the farmers. You will collect 10% of the tax on the harvest for the subsequent harvest to be used as city taxes.

This policy actually looks nothing wrong at first glance, but if you break it down carefully, it seems that there are too many uncontrollable factors."

Listening to Soduen's words, Zhang Fan's originally casual eyes had a look of interest.

"Not to mention other unexpected factors, just one thing is that your tax is too single, and there are too many loopholes to exploit, such as what is the standard for taxation grain? The prices of bad grain and refined grain can be divided by two to three times. If the harvest is real, farmers can actually use inferior grain as good ones.

If it is too much, there may even be cases of exchanging old grain for new grain. You should know that you gave them the big head. If the smarter farmers left some of the grain from last year to use it as a replacement for the second year, although it is not illegal, the old grain will naturally be far inferior to the old grain when it is preserved.

In fact, it would be fine if it was just like this, but you should know that if food is kept improperly, it is very easy to get moldy and deteriorate. If some people cause food to become moldy due to improper storage, and happen to be collecting taxes, do you think they will use these moldy grains to mix good grains for you, or will they deal with it themselves?"

Listening to Soduen's analysis, Zhang Fan's mouth couldn't help but raise a little.

Interesting, he had never thought of such a thing before.
Chapter completed!
