As soon as the three lords Alice, Fengzi and Mira stepped into the door of the lord's mansion, they all frowned, thinking why the great lord's mansion was so shabby. There was no New Year's atmosphere in the mansion at all, and this great lord was too

Are you stingy? In the past, when Christine was in office, the mansion would be renovated every year, and even the big trees would be wrapped in red cloth.

Those groups from handicrafts, commerce, education and agriculture were moved to tears as soon as they entered the mansion. When Alice and others asked them why, they wiped away their tears and said: "The great lord spends money on us like water, and his eyes are blind."

Blink, you are so harsh on yourself."

Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, Meiyi played cards with Ilia, Ai Qilu, and Meluke until two in the morning last night. This morning, she was pulled up by Evelin to go to the temple to worship Emily.

Goddess Ya, I went to the commercial street, residential areas and agriculture to see it again. I was exhausted when I returned to the mansion, and then there was another group visit.

When Meiyi met with the lord and the county governor, after saying a few polite words, he took out their work reports and questioned them one by one about the problematic areas. He spoke very quickly and did not give any questions at all.

People have the opportunity to think and organize their language. Once they find any contradiction, they immediately ask questions, which makes the other lords and princesses sweat.

Mei Yi's face turned cold, and everyone noticed his dissatisfaction.

Mei Yi was a little disappointed and said: "It seems that everyone is not clear about the functions and power boundaries of the lord and the county guard. This cannot be blamed on everyone. In the past, the lord was almost the king of the fiefdom and could do whatever he wanted. It can't be done now. I have

The civil law, criminal law, commercial law and administrative law of Black Crystal City were signed and will be implemented next month."

"Also, considering the actual situation, Minister of the Interior Ze Jin proposed to train all lords and county guards in batches to better adapt to the needs of Black Crystal City governance. The lords meeting has approved it. Please go to Ze Jin for implementation of the specific plan.

Check it out...don't forget to go to the Minister of Justice and take back the legal regulations and a brief reading guide."

Next is the Merchant Guild.

The representative of the commercial guild said: "Your Highness, you lowered the business tax when you first arrived in Black Crystal City. We finally got through the most uncomfortable moment. The kingdom has always focused on agriculture and neglected business, and has suppressed businessmen a lot.

Awesome, after you came here, we finally have a relatively stable business environment. If there is anything we can do to help, please feel free to ask."

Meiyi smiled and said: "There are two things I hope you can help me with. First, don't hoard things in Black Crystal City. If I find out, I won't deal with you through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but will ask the Minister of Security to let you go directly."

Disappear completely. Second, if you want to win my respect, then sell Sombra City's products to all parts of the kingdom."

The representative of the commercial guild wiped the sweat from his head and said in awe: "Lord, don't worry. We also despise those scum who wantonly raised the prices of seeds and grains during the floods, and we also agree with the big lord to directly sacrifice them."

To the River God. As citizens of Black Crystal City, we will definitely work hard to sell the products in the area."

Meiyi added: "Don't be resentful about the policy of focusing on agriculture and neglecting business. How much grain, cloth, and medicine does the kingdom produce every year? If you hoard it, will the people still live? What is hateful is that civil strife broke out in the kingdom, and some businessmen speculated indiscriminately.

Openly support the rebels... In Sombra City, businessmen are not allowed to interfere in government affairs, otherwise they will bear the consequences."

Representatives from the commercial guild nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Meiyi had finished speaking, Kalinlina added: "The great lord has lowered the tax rate in the consular district, but some businessmen are not only ungrateful, but also wantonly evaded taxes. Black Crystal City has lost a lot of tax revenue."

“Starting from next month, the Ministry of Finance and Taxation will inspect merchants. Once tax evasion is discovered, in addition to being punished according to law, it will also be regarded as disloyal to the lord and deprived of the shops rented from the lord and the land allocated to it.

The great lord has sworn to protect the trade routes with his sword, but I don’t want the sword used to protect you to fall on you.”

When people from the agricultural group saw the business association, lords, and county guards coming out dripping with sweat, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts: Isn't the great lord very kind? Why do they look like roosters when they go in, and look like roosters when they come out?

Quail?

They walked into the lord's mansion uneasily, and found that the great lord was still talking and laughing with them as usual. Their tense mood finally relaxed.

Meiyi chatted with them for a while and then said: "We survived the famine last year and had a bumper harvest in autumn. We finally got through the difficulties. But there is a particularly serious problem. Our food crops, wheat, rice, millet

The output is too small and we lack sufficient grain reserves. If another famine occurs, we will have difficulty coping."

A farmer said: "Lord, you told us about this issue last time, and you also talked to us about seed selection and breeding. We are already doing this. What we hope for most now is the blessing of the goddess.

Don’t let any major floods happen this year.”

Meiyi said: "When I went to Zhenling to report my work this time, I walked along the Luoshui River. I have basically figured out the cause of the flood, but it is difficult to solve it. Now that the Luoshui River is in dry season, Walter and the others will organize

Manpower is dredging the river, and the mansion will work hard to solve this problem before the flood season arrives."

Another farmer said in embarrassment: "Lord, I'm sorry, but the farmers have never heard of the potato you mentioned, and they dare not grow it..."

Mei Yi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's understandable. I've already asked people to plant it on the lord's land. Let's wait until it succeeds." At this point, Mei Yi's face turned cold. "I heard that many farmers are not willing to plant it on the lord's land."

Children, especially girls, are sent to school, right?”

"This... Great Lord, forget about boys. What's the point of studying for a girl from a commoner family? She will get married in the future..." When he said this, he saw that the faces of the female ministers present turned cold and shut up in fear.

On the mouth.

"Nonsense!"

When Mei Yi heard this, she felt angry. She slapped the table hard, stood up, and said sternly, "I can't control other parts of the kingdom. In short, it can't be done in Black Crystal City! No matter as a member of Black Crystal City,

Residents and the mothers of the future generation of the kingdom must not be without knowledge and culture. My subjects cannot be looked down upon by anyone when they go out! If you can't do that, get out of Sombra City!"

When those peasant groups suddenly saw the great lord getting so angry, they were all trembling with fear and did not dare to express their anger. They walked out of the great lord's mansion with sweat dripping down their faces and their legs and feet were weak.

In the living room, Meiyi chatted with the ministers for a while, and then said: "Okay, the group visit is over, and the holiday will follow. Each department has arranged the personnel on duty, and everyone can enjoy the holiday."

After walking out of the door, Mei Yi suddenly noticed that heavy snowflakes were falling in the sky. Among the dense snowflakes, several green heads came towards her and said to Mei Yi with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, we are back..."

Mei Yi looked at Die Ai, Sui Feng and Feng Yuan and said excitedly and surprised: "You... you are not..."

Feng Yuan whispered softly: "Lord Lord, we have gone back and made it clear to our mistress that we have decided to leave the Northern Fairy Forest. We are out of touch with the life in the Fairy Forest. I'm sorry for not telling you in advance, because we don't want to tell you in advance either.

Knowing that I can be allowed..."

"Needless to say, welcome back and happy New Year."
