Did Cervantes make it clear that he was on the side of the localists?

Of course not!

The maid didn't speak, it was useless for him to say anything, and he just applauded because he felt funny, because of the courage of the nobleman, and in fact he did say it?

As for the impact of his applause and admiration?

How could Cervantes bother with these things, he was a black dragon!

Viscount Evaz was stunned on the spot, he looked around blankly, but found that all the nobles who had a 'good relationship' with him turned their heads and did not dare to meet his gaze.

In just half a minute, he felt cold all over his body, and even his body couldn't help shaking, and his teeth were chattering.

The courage and pride that had been gained from the attention of the Duke of the Black Dragon were all gone at this moment, and all that was left was boundless cold and fear.

This reminded him of his former coquettish attitude and the hypocrisy of those nobles, his brain was empty, and his stomach seemed to be tumbling.

"Hmm......"

The filth rushed up his throat and into his nose, and he covered his mouth and nose in time, swallowed the bitter, sour stomach acid, and wiped away the filthy liquid that flowed from his nose with his hands.

Viscount Evaz had a gloomy face and said in a dull voice: "No, Your Majesty, I don't have any opinion, what you said is right, this decaying country really needs to change. ”

The corners of Krylov III's mouth curled slightly, and he said softly to Viscount Evads, who was still standing: "Sir Evads, now you can sit down." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Until Viscount Evaz slowly sat down, none of the local nobles dared to make any noise.

It's not because they don't have any guilt for 'betraying' Viscount Evatz, it's that they 'don't want' to bear that 'crime' and 'don't dare' to be put on that 'hat'!

Greenlandch is the stronghold of the Royalists, which has been built into an impregnable fortress, and the court is a top priority, the heralds and clerks are all Royalists, and if these nobles say anything bad here, then the commoners outside may know it all within ten minutes.

These nobles need a good reputation, even the lords who levy heavy taxes in their territories will find reasons to collect taxes, otherwise if all the commoners under their rule run out, where will they find money?

No matter how extravagant their lives were, they would not make a name for themselves, and even if the serfs could not escape, what about the freedmen? The freedmen were the bulk of their taxes.

No one dared to carry this black cauldron, not even the local nobles, so no one dared to speak.

The Congress, which focused on 'discussion', mainly 'discussion', is now only drafting decrees, and there is still a lot of room for manoeuvre, so that there is no need to make Krylov III put a black pot on their heads.

"Any other suggestions or comments?"

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Krylov III said: "Congress is a place where you can speak freely, put forward various suggestions or opinions and discuss them, the kingdom is not my own decision, and I need your help to make the kingdom develop better." So you don't have to scruple about it, whether you have any suggestions for policies or any opinions about me personally, I won't hold a grudge even if you speak, because you can only grow by constantly overcoming your shortcomings, as you did when you were a child, and even more so when you become an adult. Come on, guys, I hope to hear more suggestions or comments!"

The nobles looked at each other, what else could they say now? The big nobles didn't say a word, and the other nobles naturally didn't dare to speak.

A quick-witted local nobleman raised his hand and stood up, "Your Majesty, I propose to learn the Sorrowful Wind Leader. ”

Krylov III smiled meaningfully, "This is a good proposal, if you distinguish all taxes clearly, it will not only be much more convenient for lords to collect taxes or civilians to pay taxes, but also to avoid overcharging taxes and collecting taxes wrongly." ”

In that place, the nobles were annoyed that they had not only failed to provoke a conflict between the king and the 'Grand Duke of the Sorrowful Wind', but also had Krylov III make such a proposal.

Originally, he thought that Krylov III would not know this, but he didn't expect that in addition to he, the lord of the territory around the Sad Wind Territory, he also knew a little about the affairs of the Sad Wind Territory, and Krylov III, as the king, also knew so much about the affairs of the Sad Wind Territory.

"But in this way, the problem of tax evasion will probably be solved!" said Krylov III with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, many nobles' eyes lit up, even if their tax officials were serious enough, but the reasons for tax evasion still often appeared, and every time they counted them, they would wonder if their tax officials were corrupt, but every time they couldn't find out the big problem.

This problem has been bothering them for a long time, can it be solved now?

They're not sure, but there's a good chance it's possible!

Krylov III smiled, because everything was under his control, although the Duke of Sorrow had not yet made a clear statement, but if 'that problem' had not been mentioned, the local nobles would not have been too obstructed, because they also knew that he wanted to reform the country now, and if he did so, it would be good for them.

Of course, this is only if it does not affect their interests, they will let him do it.

But as long as he tries not to touch their interests, isn't that okay?

He had already planned that they would not stand in his way if he did not touch the interests of the great nobles at first, and then when it came time to talk about 'that question' they would definitely oppose it vehemently, but then their opposition would be meaningless.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion as well. ”

Krylov III's smile froze on his face, and he looked at the 'chief maid' in disbelief, followed by the other nobles.

The audience was stunned!

If, they heard it right...... Did the head maid say that?

The graceful maid slowly stood up, and it was only then that the nobles confirmed that the words were indeed said by the 'chief maid'.

Krylov III was also a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and nodded, "Lady Serena, please speak." ”

The maid appears here as a duchess, and the title 'Grand Duchess' is slightly disrespectful to Krylov III and the royal family, and is not allowed to be used in formal settings.

"I suggest that you let your tax officer go to the knowledge church to learn new bookkeeping methods and calculations. The maid smiled slightly, "I'm sure that will be very helpful to you." ”

"Baron Isaac knows something about this...... "Krylov III asked, "are you right?

"Yes, my majesty!"

Baron Isaac stood up, bowed and said, "Since returning to Greenland, I have always been interested in the administrative model of the Grimwind Territory, including the tax method and tax classification. After research, I found that the tax method of the Sad Wind Collar is more advanced, more advanced than any other tax method on the mainland, not only convenient, but also very clear, it is difficult to make small moves in the accounts, so that no matter who is corrupt, it can be easily detected, and all this is based on a new way of keeping accounts. ”

"This way of bookkeeping is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say, you are all mages, so you naturally know the difficulties of multiplication and division. ”

Baron Isaac paused when he said this, and the nobles nodded in agreement, no matter what, they were still mages, so they naturally understood the difficulties in calculating the formula.

"But whether 'multiplication' or 'division' is a manifestation of a law, just a statistical rule, but Lady Serena has introduced a new way of multiplication and division, just like the 'ninety-nine multiplication table', this is a coined word that you may not have heard of, but I have to admit that even as an extraordinary mage, I felt a little amazed when I saw it for the first time. Because it's a 'formula table', it's so catchy that even a child can easily learn 'multiplication and division'!"

"In addition to this, there are new ways of calculating such as 'systems of equations', 'binary equations', and 'fractional equations', and although Lady Serena says that she is only the discoverer, it is definitely a surprising discovery!

With that, Baron Isaac bowed respectfully to the maid to show his inner excitement.

"You're welcome. The maid smiled and nodded.

Krylov III was the first to applaud, and then the applause resounded throughout the room.

The maid smiled and nodded her head in the round, calmly accepting the applause.
