On May 4, 1113 in the continental calendar, which is the Youth Day of another world, Richard took his early generals and guards back safely to Nord City.

Just after returning to Nord City, Treasurer Wal-Koma found Richard. He held the scroll with the written text in his hand. He bowed respectfully before saying: "Your Majesty Caesar, this year's tax It has been put in storage. This is the bill record. Please check it out."

"Bill records?" Richard then remembered that the tax was paid in the spring, so he took the bill from Wal-Mart and checked it carefully.

This year’s tax revenue is not much different from the estimated number in the system. There are 24,300 silver taylors. In addition, because of the custom of taxation on goods in the Middle Ages, many things have been collected and have not been changed. Cheng Yin Taylor. Some of the more than 24,000 silver taylors were received directly from the royal family, and some were handed in from other nobles. Not only that, the tribute of the Principality of Western Connakhta and the indemnity of the Ramirez Kingdom are also on the way. According to the ceasefire agreement a few years ago, the Kingdom of Ramirez had to pay 20% of its national income every year for a period of ten years. Now only three years have passed, and there are still seven years to wait for the money.

While Richard was looking at the bill, Walcoma seemed hesitant to say something. He thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, it was agreed with the Kingdom of Lavana before, with Stephanie after the wedding. I don’t know when you plan to start the Queen’s trip."

"What?" Richard stagnated, he raised his head and focused on Walkoma's body. It took a while before he showed a suddenly realized expression, and said: "How can I forget about this? Anything can start. After the end of the war with the Pravia Kingdom, there is nothing more important." "Then, I will send someone to discuss with Your Excellency Glass, Ravana's financial director." Walcoma Said.

"You are responsible for this." Richard said, focusing on the bill again, and then he added: "Don't spend too much money, the kingdom's silver coins cannot be wasted."

"Follow your will, Your Majesty." After Walcoma finished speaking, he left.

...

After half a month, after the joint organization of the two governments, Richard and Stephanie returned to Kuban Island again, starting from Kuban Island for a parade, accompanied by not only the cabinet members of the two countries, but also Richard's subordinates. Elite Guards Brigade (the newly formed Guards of the Kingdom of Ravana was originally prepared to accompany, but in the end Stephanie stayed in the capital, and instead only allowed a dozen court knights to accompany it). After staying in Brandenburg on the Königsberg on Kuban for a night, the parade first walked around Nuremberg and then walked between the six towns along the paved avenue. Richard rode his beloved The war horse walked at the forefront of the team, and the civilians met along the way saw them and quickly stood by the side of the road, taking off their hats to pay their respects.

The cruise on Kuban Island only lasted for one day (this is also because the area of ​​Kuban Island is not large), the team drove to the port town that night, and after a rest there, they took a boat to the port of Bell and started The journey of the Kingdom of Ravana.

It is worth mentioning that Port Bell was forcibly controlled by Richard during the Ravana Civil War, and the officials inside were replaced by Richard’s. However, after the war was over so long, the local officials remained the same. That batch was replaced by Stephanie, who had not been taken over.

Richard wondered, is it because Stephanie trusts herself too much, so she also trusts the people she appoints? He didn't know, and he didn't intend to ask.

Nothing has changed much in Port Bell. A year ago, part of the wall stacks that were demolished to add artillery to the city wall during the offensive and defensive battle of Bell Port were also repaired a long time ago, and it is impossible to see the traces of the war from the naked eye.

The city’s port is still so prosperous. Every day there are a large number of merchant ships loaded with commodities coming in and out, berthed, and bare-chested laborers are working hard to carry heavy goods, sweating for a day’s wages, and the streets are full of people every day. You can see all kinds of people contributing their own pockets to the taxation of the city.

I forgot to mention that although the textile workshop that Douglas' brother Osrita gave to Richard eight years ago was no longer able to provide Richard with that much money, it could still give Richard at least eight or nine thousand per year. Of silver coins (the money is not counted in Richard’s national tax revenue, in a sense, the money is privately owned by Richard).

This is also no way. It would be good if you have a boss who doesn't care about things like Richard, and it's not bad if you don't decline to the point of bankruptcy. Don't think about going further.

After two days of cruising in the Bell Territory, the team marched towards the Royal Lavana. On the way, the team passed the ruins of Theos Manor, where Richard defeated Bandak and Jutian’s The coalition forces, and personally ordered the artillery to shoot and kill the two usurpers. Now it is indeed mixed feelings to revisit the old place ~lightnovelpub.net~.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion. Everyone has a feeling that the plants growing here are more luxuriant and brighter in color than those in other places. Especially the red flowers dotted in the grass are very coquettish, just like using blood. Dip the same.

After staying for a while in front of the ruins of Theos Manor, the team set off again and finally arrived in the city of Lavana that afternoon. In this ancient capital, Richard and Stephanie met the warmest welcome. The citizens of Vannes are not only welcoming their beautiful queen, but also the former Lord Protector who saved the kingdom from distress, today’s King Richard.

When the army entered the city, as Richard and Stephanie showed up, the whole city was filled with cheers. This was something Richard could not predict. He never thought that he could be outside of Kuban. The place is warmly welcomed by the residents, especially these residents are the natives of this world, ordinary natives without systematic loyalty and blessings.

For a time, a feeling of popular support came into his heart. The flow of people moved with Richard’s team to the inside of the city. At this time, Richard observed the buildings on both sides of the street. The traces of the war have been completely erased, and the location in his memory that was destroyed by the catapult was rebuilt. The new houses can be seen directly, because those newly built houses are more eye-catching than the surrounding houses, and there is no sense of the passage of time on them.

After being sent to the Fabrizi River, the crowd had to stop because ordinary civilians were not allowed to enter the noble area, even today this special day will not change, so the citizens gathered on the riverside to watch and watch. The Imperial Guard escorted the two kings into the gate of the noble quarter, and then the gate slowly closed, completely blocking their sight.
