Proof of the Sun King

…………Slightly above…………

Imperial calendar 2515, mid-May, north shore of Kislev Bay, Sharp Claw Sea.

An ordinary passenger ship was slowly advancing towards the north under the thick fog.

Our king of knights woke up from his dream, and he immediately felt two **** of softness pressing down on him.

It was Morgiana. She hugged Ryan's neck tightly, but refused to let go. Ryan tried to push, but found that he couldn't push it, so he could only lie down with a wry smile. Ryan was indeed a little tired himself. One-on-one he could still deal with Morgiana, but the addition of the Fairy of the Lake gave him no time to catch his breath.

This is very difficult to do. Thinking that he will have to deal with the goddess and her first choice day and night at the same time, Ryan only feels that his face is green.

"Ah, dear, are you awake?" Ryan only felt that his legs were weak, his waist was numb, and when the spiritual energy in his body was empty, a charming and gentle voice came from another part of the room.

I saw the fairy in the lake wearing a set of Isa's fantasy dress with pearl inlaid silver accessories, with a fluffy waistcoat on the outside, and a full set of platinum jewelry bestowed by the emperor on her body. Feet in ultra-thin black velvet tights.

The goddess's hands were burning with the psionic fire that belonged to Ryan, and she was making breakfast with the flames with ease.

Ryan noticed that she was making soft-hearted eggs. The goddess gently used psychic fire to boil the water, put in the eggs, and after a few minutes of boiling, picked up the eggs, then took out the knife, cracked the eggshells, and added A pinch of salt and pepper, and a delicious soft-hearted egg is ready.

A few buttered maple croissants, three hot Arabica coffees, three haggis and a few slices of roasted bacon have been laid out on the table, a jar of Osuan jam, and mashed potatoes are already on the table. Finished.

"It smells so good." Ryan couldn't help but praised. The Grey Knight Primarch finally relaxed, and he stretched out his arms to rest on the back of his head in enjoyment.

In the warm morning, there are people who make breakfast for themselves. There is no need to hurry up without all kinds of military and political events, and with warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms, Ryan thought that the so-called life is nothing more than this.

"Get up when you wake up, I've made breakfast." The fairy in the lake smiled slyly: "Or are you too soft to get up?"

"Don't underestimate me!" Sure enough, although Ryan knew that Lilith was deliberately provocative, he still got the trick. After all, men really can't admit to this kind of thing, and the King of Knights gently wanted to push away the entanglement. Mogiana on her body, but Mogiana was woken up by Ryan's action: "Wu~ is it morning? What time is it? Ryan?"

"I don't know either, but it should be up, Morgiana." Ryan patted the Lake God Witch on the shoulder.

"Hmm~" Morgiana actually wanted to be with Ryan for a while longer. She only felt that the front was sour and numb, and the back was also sour and numb. When she saw the half-smiling expression of the fairy in the lake, she recalled some Things, she can't wait to hide under the quilt and not come out.

"Get up, how long do you want to stay with Ryan? Morgiana!" The fairy in the lake said angrily, "Breakfast, and then we still have a lot of things to discuss."

"Yes." Morgiana could only struggle.

Fifteen minutes later, the witch of the lake **** changed into a set of pleated dress with a feathered tie, a pair of white toe transparent pantyhose and a pair of pink bow-tie high-heeled shoes, and the three sat at the table together for breakfast. .

"I didn't use the official name for this trip to Dulong City." Ryan explained his plan to the lake fairy and the lake **** witch: "If it is in the name of official trade, then it is just so that the queen tsar can find interference in our trade. because Erlengrad is still nominally her domain, and if we use the official banner, then she can stand up to criticize and interfere in this exchange.”

"So we can't visit in the name of the official and Erlengrad. I spread the news to the whole city through the soldiers of the Guards. Everyone knew that I went to negotiate with Dulong City. That's the only way." Ryan tasted Looking at the maple sugar eulogy made by the fairy in the lake, the king of knights smiled helplessly: "There is no way, we must be careful."

"Is this so troublesome?" Morgiana's body was limp, and after hearing Ryan's words, Lake God Witch gently tapped the spoon on her plate: "If everything is subject to Catalin and her The Romanov family, then what's the point of us recovering Erengrad?"

"You can't say that." The fairy in the lake shook her head, the goddess just watched Ryan and Morgiana eat, she only ate a little fruit: "No matter what, no matter how good Ryan is, he is the king of knights in Britannia, No matter how bad Katarin is, he is also Kislev's own tsar. If Ryan wants to rule Erengrad or even Kislev as the king of knights, even if he is fair, even if he has a high prestige and can fight well , there are still very few Mrs Keesler who will identify with him as ruler."

"Not to mention the Boyer nobles who have been favored by the Romanov family for generations." Ryan nodded, and just as he picked up the coffee, the fairy in the lake personally brought him sugar cubes, and the king of knights took it with a smile: "Actually In the past, we have given the civilians and refugees a large degree of favor, but according to the survey, the civilians, in addition to being grateful to us, still want to stay in their hometown... This is also normal, after all, going to a completely different place , the climate environment, cultural customs, and eating habits have to be all over again, and most people are unwilling."

Ryan has nothing to say, that is, from an economic point of view, forcibly annexing Erlengrad is not worth the loss. It is very troublesome to explain this issue in detail. Here is a simple and general analogy, that is, a territory has its benefits and benefits. In terms of management costs, for example, if the total revenue of a piece of land is 10 yuan and the administrative cost is 5 yuan, then there is no doubt that this piece of land should be swallowed.

If the revenue is 10 yuan, but the administrative cost is 10, 11, and 12 yuan, then considering its strategic position and border defense role, it is also possible to draw some revenue from other revenue provinces to maintain the rule.

However, what if the administrative cost is $15, $20, $30 or even $50?

At this time, in fact, this territory should be thrown away, because it will bring a heavy burden to the country. For Kislev of different ethnic groups, cultures and beliefs, the management cost after Lane's entry It will be pushed to a very high level, and there is also a topic involved, that is, "national self-determination", which will not be discussed here.

So, why did Lao Zhu, who brought Ming Ming, come out with a bunch of "non-conquering countries"? instead of continuing to expand? Doesn't Lao Zhu know that with the strong army he led at that time, there is no way that a large circle of countries can be their opponents?

To win is to win, so what? After the occupation, the super high administrative cost and the pitifully low income will only drain the finances. This is the way to subjugate the country. A typical example is the establishment of the Chief Secretary of Annan by Zhu Di. For more than ten years, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of millions of taels of silver Hit it in, and if something goes wrong, just throw it away.

Then some people must say that it is not easy. I will seal it out, and I will actually seal it to my subordinates, and I will manage myself. If the country is sealed abroad, it will be completely autonomous, and I will be the leader of the alliance and the suzerain.

Brother, do you think it's a game? Play Europa Universalis? People are fully autonomous, financial, military, and personnel are their own, so why should they listen to your central court? This kind of real seal relying on personal loyalty generally cannot be maintained for three generations, and even Lao Zhu's self-created King of Sai system has not lasted enough for one generation! When Zhu Yunwen wanted to take back the autonomy, Zhu Di turned against it, and they were still the royal family of the same clan.

Therefore, Lao Zhu's tribute system was the most suitable system at that time. Lao Zhu, such a talented person, is not at his level or is it not at the level of others?

Therefore, for Erlengrad, Lane's ideas are also relatively close. Erlengrad is self-governed by Mrs. Keisler. I neither interfere in internal affairs nor engage in any appointments. I only guarantee my economic interests. Minimize resistance from locals.

But that's where the limitations are. In any case, Erlengrad is too far from Brittany.

"Forgetting the tsar is unconscionable, and welcoming the tsar is mindless. We can only deal with Erlengrad's affairs in this way for the time being." Ryan finally made a conclusion.

"Just know what you have in mind." The fairy in the lake nodded slightly, and Morgiana didn't know anything about internal affairs, so she could only eat silently.

A hearty breakfast was quickly eaten, and the atmosphere in the house gradually began to become weird.

The fairy in the lake said to Ryan with a half-smile, "How about it, dear, how is my breakfast?"

"It's very rich and delicious, my lady." Ryan took out a napkin and wiped his mouth, smirking: "I like it very much."

"I really like it? Is it true, you didn't lie to me?" The fairy in the lake picked up her flower fan, she smiled and glanced at Morgianna, excited: "I know, she is also very good at making Morgianna. Cai, what do you think, am I doing a good job in cooking, or is she doing a good job in cooking?"

"??!!" Mogiana was instantly excited when she heard this, she stopped drinking coffee, and also set her eyes on Ryan: "Yes, Ryan, do you think my cooking is delicious, Or is the lady cooking delicious?"

"Who do you choose?" The goddess and her first divine choice pressed towards Ryan at the same time.

Why did this come out all of a sudden? Ryan suddenly sweated on his forehead, and the King of Knights thought this was wrong! Why did it suddenly target me?

After thinking about it, Ryan could only quickly smile and say: "You guys, each has its own advantages. For example, ladies are better at making pastries, desserts and breakfasts, while Morgiana is better at cooking dinners and traditional dishes. , each has its own advantages, each has its own advantages...hehehehe~"

"What do you mean by each having their own advantages?" The fairy in the lake quit, the goddess put her hands on her hips, her proud figure swayed up and down, and her aura was astonishing: "It sounds like I can't cook dinner, and Morgiana doesn't seem to know how to make desserts. Same as breakfast? Come on, who do you think does it better?"

"That's right, Ryan, I've made breakfast for you so many times, have you forgotten?" Morgiana also stood up, she shyly pressed down on her skirt, and also raised her momentum: "Of course. , Madam, she did a good job, but I... But I'm not bad, right? No, you have to give an answer today!"

"Uh..." Ryan was forced into a dilemma, and the king of knights pretended to be in trouble: "Oh, I'm in a hurry, I need to go to the toilet!"

"Don't go!" The fairy in the lake and the witch of the lake **** held Ryan's arms from left to right, and pulled in the opposite direction at the same time. The goddess was a little embarrassed and threatened. The eyes of the two women were fixed on Ryan, waiting for his answer: "You can go only if you say it!"

"Don't say you don't want to get out of bed today!"

Staring at him like a wolf like a tiger, Ryan knew that he couldn't run away today. The king of knights turned green and could only use the strategy of slowing down: "Well, I need a little time to think about it. Can you give me some time?"

"Give you two minutes, just think here, and don't go anywhere!" The fairy in the lake held Ryan down, and Morgiana sat directly on Ryan's lap: "There must be an answer today, Ryan."

"Uh..." Ryan thought about it, looking at the aggressive look of the fairy in the lake and Mogiana's determined expression, he could only pretend to think, and at the same time, he frantically turned countless thoughts in his heart, weighing the pros and cons.

"Well, I think..." Ryan finally said hesitantly: "I mean, I've always eaten more of Morgiana's food, and less of the lady's work... I mean, according to Judging from the current experience, when it comes to cooking, it’s still… that, or Morgianna will have more dishes and make them richer, right?”

The face of the goddess instantly turned black, and the fairy in the lake really wanted to pour coffee directly on Ryan's face! As a goddess, a goddess worshipped and admired by countless people, she made breakfast for her husband by herself, but her husband still thinks that his maid of the whole room is more delicious? Isn't that hitting her in the face?

You should be grateful that this goddess can cook for you in person, okay?

Mogiana, on the other hand, fluttered her cheeks instantly. The witch of the lake **** only felt a burst of sadness and relief in her heart. She spent several years studying and pondering cooking skills carefully. Her persistence for more than ten years was not in vain, and she hugged her excitedly. Ryan's neck was just a fiery kiss, blocking Ryan's mouth.

After finally giving an answer, the big head Ryan quickly said that he wanted to ask little Solgreen about Dulong City, and slipped away on the spot, leaving only the fairy in the lake and the witch of the lake **** in the room.

Morgiana's face was flushed, and her hands were on her chest, which was full of happiness.

The fairy in the lake was full of black energy behind her. She slapped the table and said to Mo Gianna bluntly: "Mo Gianna, aren't you amazing? Did you forget something? Kneel down for me. !"

"I am forever grateful and will never forget what you have given me, ma'am~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Morgiana could only kneel down, and she said unwillingly: "But, ma'am, it is obvious that I have been with Ryan longer. ! During the time when I was injured, and for a long time after that, I was with him, cooking for him. I also took care of him when he was injured. He felt that I was better... not without reason. "

"Are you showing off to me?" The fairy in the lake was so angry that she put her hands on her hips: "If it wasn't for me not being able to appear often in the mortal world, do you think you would have a chance? Do you know what you are doing? Jaina, do you believe that I can take back your power and make you never see Ryan again in this life?"

"Well... ma'am, you can't do this!" Morgiana could only plead in a low voice, "You promised."

"Hmph, that's right, I promised. You dared to fight against me because of Ryan's favor and my promise?" The fairy in the lake could only twitch the corners of her mouth, she naturally knew that she couldn't really kill Moji. Anna was dead, and she didn't want Ryan to be unhappy.

So how can Ryan be happy and punish Morgiana at the same time? The goddess thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, she took out a small pot of plaster and a small razor, the razor reflected bright light: "It seems that I have to carry out the necessary punishment! Let you know who is the master ."

"No! Madam, you can't do this!" Morgiana's face instantly turned red when she saw Little Razor.

The fairy in the lake directly sang magic to her first divine choice, and the light of the lake **** illuminated the entire interior of the passenger ship.

"Well..." Morgiana was imprisoned by the magic of the fairy in the lake. She was blindfolded and her mouth was gagged.

"Don't you like wearing only pantyhose? Let me do you a little favor!"
