At night, in the palace of the main city of humans, the new king Anthony looked at the report he just sent. To be honest, Anthony really had a headache. Although he knew that his brother would cause trouble, he didn't expect that he would cause trouble. On the first day of his term of office, Anthony here received a report from his intelligence department. Because his brother Huailin was useless, he directly took a lot of people from the Second Legion to help him work.

When Anthony saw this report, the first thing he thought of was not how illegal this method was, but how to mix it up. If the ministers below knew about this report, they would definitely bombard Li Huailin, and maybe even say things like how to rebel. Anthony has known these ministers in the past few days, and in order to combat political enemies, he can talk about any small matter.

Thinking about it, I also have a responsibility here. Li Huailin took over the area of ​​Filmt, and all his subordinates were cut down. I didn’t expect that there was no civil servant to send him a question of the manpower. However, Li Huailin is really doing this. No one doesn’t know if he wants some of it with him...

But since it has happened, Anthony here waved his hand and hid the information. Anyway, it has been like this. Let the people from the Second Legion do it first. Anyway, the Second Legion is also from Li Huailin.

I thought there would be no problem after dealing with this matter, but a few days later, something happened to Lancaster over there, which was even more exaggerated this time. Even Anthony was shocked to see it.

"70%?" When Anthony received the report, it was almost time for the tax to end. Seeing the 70% tax rate, Anthony took a breath. What courage did he dare to collect 70% tax? Are you really not afraid of the civilians below rebelling?

"What should I do now..." Anthony, who was sitting in the office, pinched his nose. This time it was really impossible to hide it, because according to the information, many ministers already knew about this situation and were preparing to bombard Li Huailin tomorrow. As for why the ministers knew, it was mainly because some little lords of Lancaster reported Li Huailin. They did not expect that the tax could be collected. But the result was that more than they imagined, all the villagers paid the tax happily, and as a result, the warehouse was filled with a lot of food, and gold coins were collected in boxes by box, but this had nothing to do with them. All these things had to be handed over. Seeing this situation, many people became jealous, so they stabbed the matter to the ministers they knew in the City of God's Blessing.

"Your Highness, it's already very late, aren't you still resting?" When the door opened, Queen Marina slowly walked in.

Seeing Marina's appearance, Anthony's eyes lit up. The more they got along, the more they felt that Marina was indeed a natural queen. She was very compatible with her and had very strong abilities. She could talk to her no matter what questions she asked her. Now she was having a headache. She happened to discuss it with Marina.

"A 70% tax rate? Are you not kidding?" When he heard Anthony say, Marina here was also shocked. The 70% tax rate is really not a joke.

"My brother is really not kidding." Anthony said with a wry smile, "What should I do now?"

"If it is not handled well, there will be chaos in the north." Ma Linna said immediately.

"Don't worry about this. I don't know why, according to the information sent back, the local residents paid taxes..." Anthony said here.

"Ha? How did this happen?" Marina looked surprised. The new duke was so desperate that he was not doing anything?

"I don't know. Anyway, Huailin always has his own way, and he has not made any mistakes yet. I believe he always has his own considerations, but the problem is that the ministers will definitely attack him tomorrow... What should I do?" Anthony said.

"Your Highness means that you will also protect the Duke of Aquitaine this time?" asked Malina.

"Of course, I'm just such a brother." Anthony said immediately.

"Theoretically, since the Lancaster region has been granted to the Duke of Aquitaine, it doesn't matter how much tax the other party collects in his territory. Since all the residents have paid the tax, as long as there is no trouble in the people, the empire will not find a direct reason to punish him. As long as your highness grasps this, there should be no problem." Marina thought for a while and said.

"What if there is chaos?" Anthony asked.

"That's a problem. If the lord cannot manage the land that was enfeoffed to him, the king has the power to take back the map. If there is a real chaos in the people, the ministers will definitely ask His Highness the King to take back Lancaster." Marina said.

"It seems that the key is still on Huailin's side." Anthony said, "Since that's the case, I'll use this reason to drag it out tomorrow, and then find a way when there is a real chaos in the people."

"The Duke of Aquitaine is really... 70% of the taxes. What is he using for suddenly asking for so much money..." Marina here suddenly complained.

"Yes..." Anthony here also said, "No matter what, 70% is too much. Huailin is really doing something that everyone can't understand."

"I always think that the Duke of Aquitaine is too capable of causing trouble. Even if this matter is over, I don't know if there will be any other major things happening later." Marina here said worriedly.

"There's no way. If he doesn't make trouble, he won't be Huailin..." Anthony on this side smiled bitterly, "Forget it, Malina, let's go and rest."

"Yes." Malina didn't say anything further and nodded.

It was soon the morning court time of the next day. It was the founding stage and there were a lot of things, so it was basically one day. It was less than eight o'clock in the morning. Anthony here was ready to start handling official duties. I heard that the ministers came very early today, and you could tell at a glance what it was for.

"Is there anything wrong, everyone?" Anthony looked at the ministers below and said.

"Your Highness! Yesterday we received a report that in the Lancaster region, the new lord Duke of Aquitaine actually imposed a tax rate of 70% on his territory. This is really terrifying." A minister immediately came out and said.

"It's true." Anthony nodded, and then said, "Oh, I've heard of this, but it's said that the local residents didn't object."

"Your Highness!" Prime Minister Mah suddenly stepped forward, "This matter is a very serious behavior. If it is not done well, it will shake the foundation of the country. Our new empire was just established, and it was time to clean up the people's hearts, but the actions of the Duke of Aquitaine suddenly put us in the opposite direction of the people."

"Yes, Your Highness, this is really no joke." Another minister said, "Another minister came out.

As expected, seeing that Prime Minister Mah had come out, the ministers here stood up and said to Anthony.

"What do you think you should do?" Anthony asked in a sigh.

"What else can I do? The Duke of Aquitaine actually did such a thing and must be rewarded!" The person who was thinking about it here immediately said.

"I also think Huailin did it a little...wait...what did you say?" Anthony was still following Mach's meaning, but suddenly felt something was wrong. What was the matter with the award.

"I said he must be rewarded." Maher said here.

"Commendation? Are you right?" Anthony asked strangely.

"Your Highness the King, the Duke of Aquitaine has collected a tax rate of 70%. Doing such a complaint about the world is a big deal in the development of the Impression Empire. If the lords from all over the country imitate the Duke of Aquitaine, then the newly established empire would not have a big problem. Shouldn't you be rewarded for such behavior?" Mah, who was on the side, took a step forward and said strongly.

"Ahem... are you sure?" Anthony was choked by Maher.

"Your Highness, what else can you hesitate about? If you don't reward him well, it's impossible to correct the country's laws if you don't give him good advice. Although I know that he has a close friendship with His Highness, I still hope that His Highness will not be favored and reward him hard." After Mah said that, he raised his hand and bowed.

"I'm going to reconsider!" the minister next to him also said immediately.

"You also agree to reward him?" Anthony said in surprise.

"Your Highness, that is necessary," said a minister next to Mah. "The actions of the Duke of Aquitaine have hindered the development of the new empire, and rewarded him is necessary."

"Huh..." Anthony exhaled heavily, then held his forehead, "What's going on with this..."

"Your Highness, you can't hesitate." Mah here immediately stepped forward and said when he saw Anthony's delay in ordering, "If you don't reward the Duke of Aquitaine, what's the people's hearts? What's the majesty of the empire?"

"Wait... Let me think about what's going on first? I can't figure it out yet..." Anthony said with his forehead.

"Please make a decision quickly!" Mach on this side said directly kneeling.

"Please make a decision quickly!" The ministers next to them immediately knelt on the ground and shouted.

"What's this going on? Why?" To be honest, Anthony originally wanted to protect Li Huailin, but in fact Anthony had made plans. Even if all the ministers accused Li Huailin, he would have to save him. But the situation is too strange now. Why are all the ministers standing on Li Huailin's side? It feels like he is the only one who wants to trouble Li Huailin.

"Huilin...what did you do..." Anthony smiled bitterly, otherwise he would have saved a lot of trouble in this way.

"Since that's the case, I will follow everyone's opinions and reward..."

Anthony just wanted to issue an edict, but the commander of the First Legion at the door, Wilham, who had just been promoted to the rank of marshal, suddenly rushed in.

"Your Highness, something is not good." Wilham said hurriedly.

"What's the matter?" Anthony here was shocked when he saw Willham come in. It was definitely a matter of the army, and it must be a big deal.

"The Duchy of Lancaster, Lord Aquitaine, declares war on our ally Elf Kingdom." Wilham said immediately.

"Ha?" Anthony's face was stunned.
