Don't expect too much from my magic, Wang.

Speaking of magic, shouldn't you ask the self-entry teacher?

Still, you can’t ask, Master!"

Having said that, Semirami passed the document in his hand to Lucifer.

Her tone is mostly ridiculous.

This is also the way they communicate when discussing things privately.

It has become a habit to laugh at each other.

Facing the Prime Minister's banter in front of him, Lucifer felt a little uncontrollable on his face.

This title is spoken from others, it seems really shameful.

"Ahem! Recent changes in France"

He symbolically took the initiative to put the topic on the document.

But the more I look at it, the more I feel that something is wrong.

``Because of the effects of the previous defeat and the war indemnities you have proposed, the interior of France has been unstable in the past two years.

Originally, France’s taxes were already high enough, but now that tax increases have triggered several rebellions, Piping, the dwarf, thought of this way in order to quickly calm the country."

Semiramis quietly talked about the internal problems of France.

The previous defeat caused France to pay a huge amount of war money, and the country would naturally have to recover this money from somewhere else.

Of course, there are many ways to take it back, such as ransacking the homes of some offending nobles, which Piping has already done.

Unfortunately, the effect is not very satisfactory, most of the money goes into the royal family's pockets instead of the treasury.

In order to make up for this part of the deficit, he chose the simplest and clearest approach.

Increase taxes! This approach can best... see the effect in a short time, but the impact may not be eliminated in a few years.

After all, for a country with an aristocratic system, tax increase may be... a word from the king, but tax reduction is to face the entire aristocratic system.

Naturally, the dwarf Piping's practice caused dissatisfaction among the lower classes, and many people who could not survive directly chose to rebel.

No accident, these people must have been suppressed in the end, but this also made the already shaken domestic situation even more shaken.

In order to calm the current turmoil, the dwarf Piping came up with another trick.

That is..."Well, what kind of ghost is it that separates some territories and establishes a religious field and declares that the Templar Church has become the national religion of France, the dwarf Pepin, so I don't worry about the theocracy over the royal power in the future?"

Lucifer let go of... the file, feeling that the brain of the guy on the other side was broken.

For a country, there is only so much power.

Once the nobles gain more power, the king will reduce his power.

Similarly, once the church is given some power, it means that some power in other places will be reduced.

From the current point of view, Peping's approach will undoubtedly weaken his kingship.

You may not be able to see it in a short time, but it will definitely end up in a long time.

This is exactly where Lucifer is strange.

His current practice in Britain is to centralize power, but the other party is decentralizing power.What the **** is that this kind of domestic problem has been solved, so that he has never heard of him as a devout believer before he even asked the church for help.

It is still said that he was crippled by the people from the church in his previous life. As a person who has heard the chronicles of the world, Lucifer can naturally predict the consequences of the unity of politics and church, and at the same time understand In this era, what is the most likely way to make Britain stronger.

So when he saw this, he subconsciously thought that Piping's brain was broken.

But think about it carefully, maybe it's just because the other party is controlled by the times, or because he believes too much in himself.

"Perhaps he wants to follow the same path as Ramses II of the Sun King of [Esiah], unity of church and state.

Put kingship and divine power into your hands together.

Even if you are as wise as you, you can't deny that the combination of kingship and divine power will give birth to extraordinary power.

Especially now, the internal turmoil in France, the more desperate, the more people yearn for a miracle or belief.

Not only that, but Peping's approach is undoubtedly pulling the temple church to his side.

It can be said that it will kill three birds with one stone."

Semiramis continued to analyze Piping's approach.

no.86 is this stuff funny? (Please ask for votes, ask for customization)

The introduction of the Templar Church can not only absorb the power of the church for use by France, but also use the power of religion to corrupt people's minds, so that they can be contented with suffering, their thoughts are broken, and they are regarded as doctrines, and they completely lose their ability to resist .

In this way, not only can the domestic situation be stabilized, but also the power of the church can be reaped, and even the royal power can be stabilized in a religious way in the future.

On the surface, there is simply no better way than this.

But... "Awesome."

Lucifer's comment on this is only these two words.

"what"

Semiramis was a little confused.

"Pray to God in a world without God, isn't it funny?"

"..."

"The combination of theocracy and kingship can indeed produce strong chemical changes, but it may also be too big.

The kingship is a man, and the religious power is a god.Man cannot become a god, and gods will not be degraded to be a person.The gods will eventually become obstacles that restrict the king's power.

Especially the churches that are secularized by the so-called priests. They themselves don't believe in the God in their hearts. Do you still expect them to sacrifice for God?"

Lucifer leaned back, he leaned on the chair, his eyes looked at the ceiling.

Lucifer at this moment couldn't help but think of the previous world.

Representatives of spreading fire, representatives of extinguishing fire, representatives of capturing fire, and a bunch of messy churches.On the surface, those guys produced many scriptures that sounded very beautiful, but in fact they were just greedily yearning for the power of the initial fire.

In contrast, for the continuation of the times, the Great King Ge Wen, who took the initiative to burn himself, is more like a believer.

Although he is only for the country he created, his approach is indeed a martyr.

``It's true that Ramses II is also the supreme leader of religion as a king, but France now has a king, but there is still a pope.

This may really cause problems, but it is too exaggerated to say that theocratic power is above the royal power."

"The dwarf Piping may know what he is, but if he dies, it is hard to say whether his son knows what he is doing.

Since he wants to play, let's help him."

With a good idea in mind, Lucifer sat back.

There was a pleasant smile at the corner of his mouth.

"how do you want to do it"

"such......"

After a while, Semiramis could not help but begin to sympathize with France's situation after hearing Lucifer's words.

The summary of his words is very simple, that is...using the deviation between theocracy and the kingship to divide the whole of France.

"You have so many bad ideas.

I will send someone to do it.

However, Wang.

Maybe you don't think it is necessary, but you should almost have your own dark organization, otherwise it would be weird to put the intelligence organization in my hands under the king-dominated system."

"In fact, I am already forming.

It's just that I still can't find a co-star.

Before that, I can only rely on you a lot, I am beautiful and reliable"

"Don't think that I am the little girl in your harem. If someone compliments me, I will obediently let you do things."

"Then... the Prime Minister who is beautiful, generous, understanding, and talented is just three sentences."

Having said this, Lucifer also teased the previous smile.

"...Haha, all right! All right! Being your prime minister is not yet easy."

"Sorry, only you, the beautiful and reliable Prime Minister, can make jokes in this relaxed tone in business."

Yes, to say that the only person who can make jokes like this in public affairs is only Semiramis.

No matter whether they are active or passive, other people will maintain a kind of respect for Lucifer during business hours, that is, look up.

It is basically unrealistic to expect them to make such a small joke.

However, it is very interesting that because of the way Lucifer and Semiramis get along, there was a period of time among the people that Lucifer was actually a puppet king, and the person in power was the prime minister.

Their biggest evidence is...Semiramis had a lot of black hands in the court.

Lucifer just smiled at this kind of obvious provocative remarks.

He even openly joked with Semiramis at the Imperial Conference.

After that, they basically did nothing, and the rumors disappeared automatically.

"Wang is too humble, I now admire Wang's farsightedness very much.

Your move to accept the French sisters as concubines is undoubtedly a very wise move for Britain to conquer France in the future."

Having said that, Semiramis changed the subject.

She talked about Joan of Arc and the others.

At this time, Lucifer followed her words and thought of something.

"Wise..., you mean, I marry Joan and they will make ordinary Britons gradually accept the French"

Thinking about it carefully, what I did was...in a sense of unintentional interruption.

"Not only that, when the news reaches France, ordinary people in France will also think that Britain can accept France.

Once a large-scale attack on France in the future can minimize the resistance of the French occupied area, it may even make them feel that the King of Britain actually likes the French people.

As long as they have this, they will not resist.

However, you will ask, don’t you think about it before.”

Semiramis quietly talked about political considerations, and his words looked at Lucifer a little unexpectedly.

"have not thought."

Lucifer responded frankly.

"..."

"At that time, I just wanted to bring them back, and coupled with the dragon, I didn't have time to think about that much.

You should understand me, I am not the kind of...the one who likes to be fat in one bite.

Before Britain’s national power is fully formed, and the diplomatic issues between Ross and Rome have not been resolved, I will not consider a complete war with France for the time being."

Lucifer was not unexpected in this arrangement, but he didn't think about it so long now.

The situation between countries has changed too much.

He will only come up with a general strategic policy, such as conquering the hearts of the people after defeating France.

But how to subdue the hearts of the people...details, he won't think about it for now.

After all, Britain's national power has not fully recovered.

After five years of hard work, the domestic problems should be solved first.

"Really surprised."

"Hey! Don't think of me as a omnipotent person, my prime minister.

Not long ago, the true omnipotent person was still complaining to me not to treat her as omnipotent.

The same is true for me. Although I will not make mistakes in the general direction, I am really not as thoughtful as you in terms of details.
