Chapter 209 "Silver Dragon Law".
Chapter 209 "Silver Dragon Law".
"How much money is left in the port at the moment?"
Arden has a brain far more powerful than humans, but does not have the lazy nature of dragons.
After understanding the specific situation, he nodded.
He reached out and stuffed the roasted pork on the plate held by two dragon-like maids, who were nearly two meters tall, on his left hand side into his mouth.
While continuing to ask.
"this?"
Gorman was originally the chief secretary of the governor, a social animal, and a promoted commoner who rose to power by flattering others. He is smart but unprofessional.
Bitterness suddenly appeared on his face with a short and high hairline.
"Because, because the navy stationed by the Finks Kingdom withdrew, a large number of nobles withdrew their assets, and the Governor's Office paid off their previous debts."
"Before leaving, the navy forcibly looted the Governor's Mansion's treasury. So far, there are only 2,000 gold coins in the treasury."
Gorman said that the voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke further, and at the end it was as soft as a mosquito or fly, almost inaudible.
"Humph"
Arden snorted, not surprised by the situation.
Anything could happen to them in the future. How could these wealthy people be willing to accept it?
It was normal for the navy to extort money before leaving, and it was also normal for these people to escape.
Naturally, those who want to leave will leave, and those who want to escape will escape.
Those who have not left this port for several months are those who cannot leave.
The current state of disrepair and decay was also within his expectations.
But.
"Then, Bailinglin Island, all the nobles registered there, didn't they come to rescue after the chaos happened here?"
Arden sneered.
Afterwards, he understood just by looking at Gorman, who was hesitant and didn't say a word.
"Damn it, too."
Arden had already made up his mind.
My vassal's vassal is not my vassal.
In this unequal world where supernatural powers prevail, the upper nobles enjoy a high standard of living thanks to magical technology, while the people of the lower class cannot even get enough food.
Bailinglin Island, in theory, now belongs to Arden's territory.
The nobles here are now also his vassals.
The territory he can now govern, according to the rules among humans, is the territory that originally belonged only to the entire kingdom and the royal family.
Now Arden can manage it personally, and he cannot deprive other nobles of their titles unless there are any major problems.
Arden understood that the nobles near Lingang or even further away could choose to come to the rescue.
But they stood by and watched.
This is a warning to Arden!
There was a flash of coldness in Yaden's eyes, and he already had an idea in his mind about how to take revenge.
However, we must first solve the problem of how to restore order.
-------------------------------------
Arden transferred his housekeeper, Millie, who was also his personal maid, from Suning Island to here.
At this moment, he deeply felt his scarcity of talent in this area.
I have already come up with the idea of cultivating talents in this area.
After all, core talents in internal affairs can destroy the entire empire.
If we look for it from outside, Arden will not feel at ease.
Now one person can only do two things temporarily and be responsible for managing two aspects of the affairs.
The maid corps has now been gloriously expanded.
They were divided into three groups. One group was responsible for Arden's food and daily life, and were also affected by the dragonization to increase their lifespan and strengthen their loyalty.
The other two groups are responsible for Suning Island and Bailing Port respectively.
The summary is in the hands of Millie, the current chief steward.
Two thousand gold coins, not a lot.
But at least, we can ensure food and clothing.
Let all the people who have been displaced and have completely lost their stable jobs due to previous changes have food to fill their stomachs temporarily.
Then, under the supervision of the monster, these people began their normal work.
Gradually got back on track.
Faced with the large number of monsters that suddenly appeared in the city, whether it was the dragons flying in the sky, the centaurs galloping in the middle of the avenue, or those ugly goblins and ogres.
The residents of Bailing Port were very scared at first, but then they discovered that these creatures were very well-behaved.
Adapted to it.
During the month that Arden did nothing and waited quietly.
Humans gradually adapted to the situation in just one month.
"You can't catch me."
at the same time.
Arden is also in this month.
Successfully cleared out a large number of rats.
Those lords who are reluctant to give up their status, the so-called upper class of the entire Bailing Port.
Their active connivance and indulgence of the pirates' behavior has touched Arden's bottom line.
Whether it's just sitting there doing nothing or just standing by and doing nothing.
Each of these two points violates the bottom line of officials.
If a force wants to flourish, such pests must be few and far between.
Or take the initiative to hand over part of your property.
Or be kicked out by Arden.
No matter how they shouted, they could not change the monsters' behavior of breaking into their house and blasting them out.
It was too late for them to regret at this moment.
-------------------------------------
After doing all this.
Arden in January of the Modor calendar year.
Officially promulgated.
"Silver Dragon Fajin Cursive Script", and "New Tax Law".
To establish a stable order, especially the order that Arden needs and hopes for.
The simplest and quickest way is to legislate to clearly establish rules.
With absolute strength, Arden dominates the entire Bailingshu Island, as well as Suning Island, which he had ruled long ago and used as his back garden.
He began to formally implement the "Silver Dragon Legal Cursive Script" which he had initially created.
This action immediately caused an uproar on the entire Bailingshu Island.
In fact, there is not much difference between this set of laws and the laws issued by other kingdoms.
Eighty percent of the parts are exactly the same.
Arden is not one to stand out from the crowd.
It is enough as long as we adapt to the development of the times and stay at the forefront of the development of the times.
The only difference is that there are these few things that are particularly noteworthy.
1. The power to amend the law is only in the hands of the great Silver Dragon Lord.
Second, all rights of interpretation of the law are controlled by the Silver Dragon Lord.
These are the two most important ones established before any other laws.
Other legal provisions also focus more on the interests of the common people rather than the upper nobility. Unlike before, the nobility only had to pay a sum of cash.
Even if you kill someone, you have to pay a ransom to be forgiven, which is called redemption money.
Even if you are a noble, you must have a legitimate reason to kill someone.
Otherwise, you will not only be fined, but also face imprisonment.
This was undoubtedly unbearable for all the nobles.
But that would be fine, it's what gives them a headache.
It is the seemingly insignificant "New Tax Law" that came after the Silver Dragon Act.
