Lin Xingchen is a person without faith, or his faith is rather mixed and he believes in whoever works. But Hei Mei is a devout believer and will not be like him who makes promises beforehand and then forgets them afterwards.

The family studied and discussed Hei Mei's situation. Finally, Anna suggested that Hei Mei Windtalker follow Lin Xingchen to the royal capital so that they could be taken care of.

The magic butterflies flew very hard and arrived in just one day, a distance that they had planned to take three days. The speed, like a meteor chasing the moon, almost scared him to death.

The king had not yet had the luxury of covering the entire capital with a magic shield, he had merely surrounded the palace, and he was landing on the street.

When I came back to the capital again, I luckily remembered the original address. Although it was a little dark, there were still many pedestrians, so I stopped a carriage and finally got home.

The next morning, he asked the servants to harness the carriage and go straight to the palace. With the duke's seal from his grandfather, it was not difficult to enter the palace. When he saw Lydia again, she looked the same, but her temperament had changed a lot.

"Meet Her Majesty!"

"No need to be polite, Lin. I've been waiting for you for a long time and you're finally here." Lydia was very enthusiastic and the two had breakfast together.

During the conversation, they also talked about some things about the kingdom, and Lydia's meaning was very simple. The prime minister had a huge network of contacts and had not made any mistakes. It would make people feel unconvinced if he was removed rashly.

So Lydia came up with a new idea, which was to appoint Lin Xingchen as the kingdom's minister of reform, to devote himself to the kingdom's reform issues and reach an agreement with the prime minister. At that time, he would also fully support Lin Xingchen's reform of the Kurma Kingdom.

The Queen has already paved all the roads in advance and is just waiting for her to walk on them. She will naturally not miss such a good thing, and she has also settled some of the most important people, at least the Queen said so.

"Your Majesty, this is the letter my grandfather, Duke Green, asked me to bring to you." After saying that, he handed the letter to the Queen.

"The Queen smiled happily after reading the letter, and then handed it to Lin Xingchen." The content of the letter was very simple. Green formally proposed to pass the title of Duke to Lin Xingchen, hoping that the Queen would agree.

He had no objection to such things. After all, he was doing business in the royal capital. Although the Duke and the Duke's heir were sometimes similar, it would be troublesome to encounter some nitpickers.

"Tomorrow morning I will hold a formal ceremony for your succession to the Duke, and then I will announce your position. Prime Minister Frank and I have already discussed this. I don't know where you plan to start, so I'll let Prime Minister Frank and the others know in advance."

"Your Majesty, I just successfully developed a train a few days ago. Your Majesty may not understand it yet, but it won't be long before you all clearly realize the benefits of trains.

Speed ​​is a criterion for a country to thrive, the speed at which the poor become rich, the speed at which goods are manufactured, the speed at which they are transported, and the speed at which our orders are issued. A fast and perfect system will determine whether we can become a strong country or even a great power. "

“In the past, everyone only cared about the lives of the nobles and ignored the common people. As for the poor and slaves who had nothing, they didn’t even consider them.

If you really want me to start the reform, then I will first reform the existing system. The current system is too slow. It is so slow that many things that were originally good things end up becoming bad things.

The system is being reformed step by step. I won't give you too much time to familiarize yourself with it and study it. If possible, I hope to tell you tomorrow. Because it is too complicated, I can only tell you the general idea now. "

"Taxes and laws will be the most important things to be reformed. Taxes determine the country's finances, and laws determine the country's justice and fairness. The nobles are the backbone of this country, and after enjoying the country's privileges, they naturally need to pay for the country."

"In fact, these two points can be completely referred to Maple Leaf Territory. At least with my reforms, Maple Leaf Territory does not count as a commercial bonus in terms of security and taxation, and still has good tax revenue."

"Lin, you have research in this area, so I naturally believe in you, and you also have successful examples. I believe you can definitely make this country a new look. My confidence in you is even greater than your wife's trust in you." Lydia's support was just as she had promised at the beginning.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will build a framework for you, and then you will slowly add bricks and tiles to it. As for whether you can realize your most desired imperial dream, you will have to leave it to time!"

"Yes! Leave your dreams to time. Some people say that you are the best businessman, but I don't think so! In my opinion, I am the most suitable person for this title.

Lin, if you can promote me from queen to empress, I will give you a kingdom in return. I wonder what your Majesty, the future king, thinks of that." She raised the peanut milk in her hand.

"I really hope I can become the king. Of course, I also hope to sit here and enjoy breakfast with Her Majesty the Queen again."

After coming back, Lin Xingchen locked himself in the study room and kept scribbling on the paper with the charcoal pencil in his hand. Fortunately, he had a lot of knowledge about this kind of thing in his mind. Lin Xingchen once again thanked the brother who distributed the turntable.

For a magician like him, not sleeping for a night was child's play. After drinking a bottle of potion to restore his energy, he dressed up and got into the carriage today.

Many nobles received the news last night, and everyone came to the palace auditorium early to watch the ceremony.

Lydia read Green's letter with Prime Minister Frank as a witness, and then the ceremony began. When Lydia handed the seal of the Duke of Maple Leaf Territory to Lin Xingchen, from that moment on everyone called him the Duke.

After the applause, Lydia announced Lin Xingchen's position. Many people were already prepared because the news came out shortly after Lydia ascended the throne.

After that it was his own performance time. It was impossible to be so comprehensive in one night, but he still had the ability to come up with a simple framework and fill it with things while explaining it.

From big to small and from inside to outside, and then start to explain from the most detailed aspects. This way many people may not be able to hear it all, but the advantage is that it allows people to understand the aspects that interest them.

The entire institutional framework is based on the three provinces and six ministries system, with some modifications to the nouns and departments, so as to help the queen monopolize power.

This was a test to see if this system could survive in this place. After all, it would be too tiring to talk to these nobles about peace and equality right away. He was not ready to go against all the nobles on the continent for the time being.

Even though he had so much fun in Maple Leaf Territory, he only played behind closed doors. If it really affected the life and death of other lords, it would be strange if they didn't fight you to the death.

For the queen's real rights, he naturally cannot let the nobles suffer any losses. After all, he is now a party with vested interests and naturally cannot dig a hole to bury himself.

In short, a system that has changed in flavor but is generally problem-free has emerged, which has strengthened everyone's overall demands for their positions, improved the channels for common people to rise, and naturally the privileges of the nobility have also been retained.

The military was strengthened, and the private armies of each noble were retained, but everyone's responsibilities were also determined. When something happens, everyone shares it together, and when there is happiness, everyone shares it together.

There is no absolutely fair system in the world, only relatively fair conditions. However, it still brings huge benefits to the common people. Taxes are reduced and unpaid labor is eliminated every year. The nobles must seek help from the common people by hiring them.

Although he wanted to ban slavery, everyone present disagreed with the proposal. Finally, after negotiation, the living standards of slaves were improved. We must treat a life as a human being and give them the most basic human rights. This is the system that a civilized society should have.

From morning till afternoon, everyone had lunch in the auditorium. Although there were many despicable nobles, most of them were responsible.

Besides, except for the nobles, more than 99% of the common people are illiterate. You cannot expect an illiterate person to understand the meaning of your letter or document.

Therefore, the nobility is indispensable as the backbone of the system, but there must be some basic bottom line, and we cannot cram everything into the system.

This point was agreed by those in power. A truly visionary noble would rarely fall. After all, in this era when family honor is more important than life, only those who have no hope would fall.

This plan is also a firewall to prevent the corruption of one's own children. Those who are uneducated and unskilled will have no chance of entering the national system, and those nobles who enter the system will be tacitly regarded as garbage by everyone.

On this day, Lin Xingchen was not only explaining but also answering questions. He poured water into his mouth cup after cup. The person who was explaining was attentive and the people who were listening were also attentive.

In Lin Xingchen's words, the country will naturally cease to exist without nobles like you. After all, other countries will not recognize you as nobles.

This point resonated with everyone. Only when the country is stronger can the privileges of these nobles be more powerful. The empire looks down on the kingdom, and the kingdom also looks down on the principality. People will always find some existences weaker than themselves to make themselves happy.

It was impossible to finish talking about everything in one day. Looking at Lin Xingchen's expression, Queen Lydia asked to end the talk. Although Lin Xingchen was talking with saliva flying all over the place, he felt his throat a little dry after he stopped.

Everyone needs to digest what he said today, so the Queen scheduled the next discussion meeting for three days later, so that everyone can study it carefully and think about some of the key points today that may be beneficial to them.

Lin Xingchen readily accepted the advice. It was naturally a good thing to have someone thinking about you.
