The strongest prince in the fairy tale world

Chapter 90 Preparations Before Birthday
In the next few days, Izzy took Cinderella, Anne and Charlie around Yorkshire. They visited twelve farms and six shops for investigation.

With Yize's royal status and the soldier armor worn by the two guards behind him, all the visits went smoothly, and the farmer and businessman respected Yize very much.

After the visit, Izer had a preliminary understanding of the overall development of agriculture and commerce in Yorkshire.

As a county near the capital, tax evasion in Yorkshire is not serious. Generally speaking, the farther away from the capital, the greater the problem of tax evasion.

Eze knew the crux of the problem, the main reason was that the local power was too strong and there was no good supervision mechanism, which led to the accumulation of a large amount of funds among the farmers and slave owners.

In addition to the tax issue, the agriculture of the Cabel Principality is also relatively backward, but this problem is not a big one. In the future, Ize can slowly promote the advanced agricultural technology on the earth.

In today's situation, we must first weaken or even disintegrate the strength and capital of farmers and slave owners, and then integrate national funds through the royal family, centralize power, and distribute funds reasonably. Only in this way can we weaken the gap between the rich and the poor and allow the central government to funds to develop various industries.

Izer believes that the implementation of real centralization is the best way to replace the feudal slavery system at present.

But in order to achieve the goal of centralization, the royal family must attach importance to the strength of the army and firmly hold military power in their own hands.

Power grows out of the barrel of a gun!Only a strong military power can manage and deter the group of landlords, slave owners, and nobles with entrusted territories.

100% control of military power is the prerequisite for efficient governance of the country in the future.

But none of this should be rushed, lest it cause domestic unrest.

……

A few days later, Izer returned to Danube Castle.

It will be his birthday in two days, and he promised his father and mother that he will come back early.

"My dear son, are you having fun in Yorkshire?" Juliet knew that her son was coming back today, and had been waiting in Eze's castle.

"I had a great time, Queen Mother, this is the special snack I brought to you and your father --- white cheese cake, please try it soon." Ize handed Juliet a box of white cheese cake.

After taking a sip, Juliet nodded in satisfaction: "Mmm! It's delicious, why don't you make this kind of flavor for your birthday cake."

"I listen to you, Queen Mother." Ize said with a smile.

After that, Juliet discussed with Izzy about his preferences at the birthday party, and Robert spent a lot of money preparing for Izzy's coming-of-age ceremony.

Izzy's 18th birthday party will be the most luxurious coming-of-age ceremony for all the princes and princesses of the Principality of Cabel.

Two days before Ize's birthday, nearly a hundred entourages and servants began to get busy inside and outside the Danube Castle.

Starting tomorrow, invited guests from other countries will arrive one after another.

After the queen left, Izzy came to Snow White's room on the second floor.

"Shirley, are you there?"

"Come in," said Snow White.

Izzy held a white cheesecake in his hand and put it on the table, "Are you feeling better?"

Snow White nodded, "It's much better."

Ize breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Snow White's complexion was indeed better.

"You didn't go out with us this time, I'll take you there in the spring of next year." Ize smiled softly.

"Well, good!" Snow White smiled and nodded, "Did you go out and have fun this time?"

"Not bad, the snow scene is very beautiful, and I have some good news for you, I have broken through to six stars!"

"Really! You are simply amazing, Prince Ize. In the entire history of mankind, I have never heard of a magician who rose to six stars at the age of 18!" Snow White was sincerely happy for Ize.

"When you recover, I'll use the flying carpet to take you around our Cabel City!" Ize said with a smile.

He picked up the white cheese cake on the table and handed it to Snow White, "Although you didn't get to go to Yorkshire this time, I bought the most delicious cake there, try it."

After taking a sip, Snow White said pleasantly, "Well, it's really delicious, thank you."

At this time, Cinderella and Annie came over from the door, "Sister Shirley, Sister Cinderella and I have come to see you."

"Come in." Snow White said.

Annie has a lively personality and is very cute, so they got acquainted quickly.

"Sister Shirley, it's a pity that you didn't go to Yorkshire with us this time. The snow there is very heavy and beautiful!"

"Little Annie, if it snows over there, it will also snow here."

Snow White covered her mouth and said with a smile.

"Oh, I thought it only snowed in Yorkshire!"

Everyone was also amused by Anne's innocence.

Unconvinced, Annie puffed up her cheeks and said, "But we still build snowmen and have snowball fights with Brother Prince!"

Snow White couldn't help pinching her bulging face, "Okay, next time I will definitely go play with you."

Annie smiled happily, "But sister Shirley, don't be sad, sister Cinderella and I have prepared a gift for you."

"Oh? I still have presents."

"Clang clang clang clang! Sister Shirley, look." Annie mysteriously took out a wooden box from behind.

Snow White opened the box, but there was nothing in it, only wet.

"What is this?" Snow White looked at Annie suspiciously.

Annie poked her head out to look, and said in surprise, "Ah, why is my little snowman missing?"

Ize smiled and said, "Annie, it's so warm in the castle, of course the snowman will melt. I asked you what gift you prepared and you still refused to tell me."

Annie looked at the puddle of snow, coaxing her eyes with some sadness, tears kept rolling, and even cried "wow" after listening to Ize's words.

"Wuuuuuuuuu... This is the snowman I brought back from Yorkshire. It's a gift for Sister Shirley. How can it be melted away..."

Snow White quickly comforted, "Little Annie, don't cry, it's okay, it's hot in the castle, and it's normal for the snowman to melt."

Annie bit her lip: "But I made it out of Yorkshire snow. I brought you the snowman over there because I thought you couldn't go to play..."

"You can still think of my sister when you are playing outside. My sister is very happy, don't be sad." Snow White continued to comfort her.

Ize also rubbed Annie's hair, and said gently: "Don't cry, Annie, let's build a super big snowman for Sister Shirley later."

"Really?" Annie couldn't hold back her crying.

"real."

Cinderella wiped the tears off Anne's face with a handkerchief, then took out a sachet and handed it to Snow White.

"Shirley, I bought this at a store. It smells really good. I hope you like it."

"Yes, this is super fragrant. Sister Cinderella and I both have one." Annie was immediately attracted to the sachet.

Seeing that the three of them got along very well, Yize felt a lot more relaxed.

Suddenly a guard came to the door, bowed, and respectfully said to Yi Ze:
"Your Highness Ize, there are three people outside the castle who want to see you. They are two women and a man. The older woman said her name is Merlin."
