Broad World

After wearing the crown that symbolizes orthodoxy, Henry took the jewel cane that symbolizes power from Bishop Eugene, and then said with a smile: "Thank you for the blessing of the goddess, and thank you for coming here for your hard work to witness the birth of the kingdom. In order to pay my respect, I decided to donate 50,000 gold coins to the church, and at the same time mark a place at Baldur’s Gate to build the temple, hoping that the goddess can be satisfied."

He knew very well that the noble goddess Hienworth was so prosperous that there were only two points. One was to take a fancy to her strength, and the other was to expand her influence when a large number of new aristocrats were born. The two parties belonged to a close cooperative relationship. So don't mind giving a generous gift.

"Your Majesty, you are really a generous and benevolent monarch. I accept your kindness on behalf of the church. May our friendship last forever." Bishop Eugene replied with a blushing face.

Fifty thousand gold coins can be regarded as a large sum of money for any temple. Normally, only a prosperous city can receive a donation of more than four figures. Although he had expected that the other party would give a large sum of money, the fifty thousand gold coins still exceeded his expectation, so he seemed a little excited.

It is important to know that if all the money is turned in, then the status within the church will be greatly improved. For every pastor, this is a dream thing.

"I always agree with the doctrine of the noble goddess. Only under the stable rule of the royal power can a country be prosperous and stable, so ≦,ww∽w. Please don't worry about this." Henry did not hesitate to say even A nonsense that I don't believe in.

As there is a saying, the **** decides the head, since as a member of the feudal monarch. We must strive to maintain our own class interests. Although he knows there is a better system. But it will never let it take root within its own rule.

Bishop Eugene smiled and nodded: "I'm so glad to see that a young and promising king like you can agree with the doctrine of the goddess. Next, please officially canonize your wives, children, and those nobles who have been waiting for a long time. I will be here Witness their legitimacy here."

After speaking, he took a few steps back and stood aside, and waved his hand at the same time, indicating that the attendants would bring up a few smaller crowns and things that would be used in the ceremony.

Compared to the solemnity and solemnity just now, it seems a lot more casual now, at least Henry does not have to speak in a specific tone with a straight face.

I saw him pick up a sapphire crown and gently put it on his wife's head, and then announced loudly with a smile: "I am here to enshrine poem Cordy as a queen as a king!"

"Thank you... I swear I will always be loyal to you, my family, and my kingdom."

Shi Koudi kissed the back of her husband's hand in accordance with etiquette. But from the slightly trembling hands, she could be seen that she was very excited at the moment, her fair face showed a faint blush, and her big watery eyes made her look extraordinarily beautiful.

Although he is already an old husband and wife, Henry is still a little itchy after seeing this scene. During the hug, he inserted a hand into the skirt and stroked the smooth thigh, and licked it when he kissed the cheek. Earlobe, he lowered his voice and said, "My dear, you are so tempting today."

"Don't... please... don't be here! So many people are watching. You can return to the room as you like." Shikoudi subconsciously clamped his legs, and whispered in shame. .

But it can be seen from the rapid breathing. She obviously felt a strange stimulus, but she didn't dare to show it when she was photographed in the public.

But Henry obviously didn't intend to let his wife just like that. Instead, he moved the hand that was inserted into the skirt up a few times, only a few millimeters away from the "forbidden area", and then asked abusively: "Really? I haven't tried it before. All okay?"

Shikoudi bit her teeth, blushing and nodded: "Yes... as long as you don't stay here..."

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Henry drew out the hand of the culprit calmly and proceeded to the next step of the ceremony.

Normally, most of the royal coronations are carried out in the palace, and only the aristocrats are onlookers. However, considering that the West Hartland region has been divided for too long, it is necessary to strengthen the recognition of the common people to the kingdom, so I chose The purpose of this open-air event is to let everyone present know the ruling class of the country.

Don't underestimate the effect of this move. The noble lords of the entire Faerun Continent basically choose a time to patrol their territory every year, so that the residents have a general understanding of the object of allegiance, and strengthen their rule by implicit means. Authority to prevent the situation where rights are emptied.

In fact, in the ancient times of the earth, this method was often used, especially in the West. Various hunting, competitions, and banquets emerged in an endless stream. Even a farmer knew who his king and lord were.

As for the East, it is relatively special. In the pre-Qin period, the monarchs of various countries would often appear in the sight of ordinary people. The first emperor made five rounds of inspections in succession. The purpose is to let the ordinary people know that the previous country does not exist. Now Lao Tzu is you Object of allegiance.

But after the rise of Confucianism, everything was over. In order to achieve more power, they used various means to evade the monarch. The most important one was to do everything possible to prevent the emperor from directly contacting the outside world. In this way, the common people didn't even know what the emperor looked like, let alone any loyalty.

It should be known that on the continent of Faerun, if a lord or king has not shown up for two years, rumors of being imprisoned or assassinated will be heard immediately. At that time, there will be countless adventurers who will be hired to investigate. This shows that the ruler How important is it to show up in public.

In the next hour or so, Henry first canonized his son Alan as the crown prince, followed by canonized his daughters Liv and Elena as princesses, and put three small crowns on the little guys. head on.

The elf loli obviously didn't expect that she had a share, her eyes flushed with excitement, and she almost cried. Because this move meant that she officially became Henry's adopted daughter, and was no longer a poor orphan.

The last family member to accept the canonization is Lily, who has become a grandmother, after all, as a woman in her early forties. She is not old in most people's eyes. It is even possible to remarry. Although she herself did not show any intentions in this regard, she must show her as a son, so a wealthy manor and noble title are necessary.

As a man with a modern soul, Henry is quite open to such things as his mother’s remarriage. He neither supports nor opposes it. He was given a duchy title and a large manor on Angome Island, which is also regarded as repaying the other side’s upbringing. Grace.

He knew very well how difficult it is for a woman to pull the two children to grow up, especially when he remembered that she got up before dawn and started to bake bread, and then hurried to various hotels and taverns while she was warm. That hard work is definitely not what a normal person can imagine. Although after nearly ten years of recuperation, there are still calluses left over from that period on his hands.

When Lily stepped aside with satisfaction and pride, Henry began to canonize his opponents again, especially those who followed him from the beginning have been promoted, and even Cagan, who has been hiding in the mine, is not ironing. fall.

Hawke and Corey were appointed as prime ministers and generals, and were awarded the title of earl. The orc chief Fugner was awarded the title of viscount, and the other nobles were promoted to a higher level, which can be said to be a joy to everyone.

The only thing that caused a slight commotion was the canonization of Solaufen, after all, the reputation of the dark elves on the surface was really bad. However, when his achievements were announced, the angry people also stopped opposing.

no doubt. A guy who can help a stranger in such a dangerous environment is certainly not bad, and it also represents how generous the royal family is to those who have helped it. It also means that others can get rich if they contribute. The remuneration, so this storm passed easily.

Seeing the indifferent eyes of the people in the audience, Solofen secretly vowed to try to reverse everyone’s prejudice against him. Anyway, he still has five to six hundred years of life, and maybe two generations later, some young people will be accepted. And identification.

After the last local nobleman retreated with the branches and soil symbolizing the land, the whole canonization ceremony was over. All the people who came to watch the ceremony erupted with great cheers, and the nobles from neighboring countries smiled with restraint. Applause, the atmosphere was lifted to the climax for a while.

Just when Bishop Eugene was about to announce the end of the ceremony, Henry suddenly sat over to stop him and said in a low voice: "Please wait a few more minutes. I want to take this opportunity to announce something."

"Okay, but please hurry up, it's noon now, and all of our stomachs are groaning." Bishop Eugene teased in a half-joking tone, and then stepped aside.

"Quiet Please!"

This sentence, which was amplified countless times by magic, instantly spread to the entire square, causing everyone to subconsciously stop and stare at the center of the square.

Henry nodded in satisfaction, then raised his hands and shouted: "Subjects! Today is a great day. It is extraordinary for me, this country, or you, because West Hartland is in After a long period of division, we are finally moving towards unity. I promise that in a few years we will become the most powerful kingdom on the entire West Coast, and everyone can share the benefits of this process."

Speaking of this, he stopped and took out a few pieces of parchment from his arms: "In order to show my sincerity, I decided to tell you good news in advance. Not long ago, the kingdom passed a resolution to officially abolish two taxes from this year! Head tax and Entrance tax! And it will take effect from this moment! Cheers now, I promise that your life will get better and better!"

As soon as the voice fell, the quiet crowd boiled again, crazier than a few minutes ago, and slogans such as "Long live the king!" could be heard almost everywhere. Even the guards could not control the scene. Up.

You must know that this is about everyone's vital interests~www.ltnovel.com~ It is a tangible and tangible benefit, and it also means that the circulation of goods is faster, and the business will usher in a high speed in a short time. Growth, the whole country will prosper soon.

"This is really an incredible decision. I hope your financial situation will not go bankrupt because of this." Bishop Eugene, who stood by, shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, I have enough trade to fill this hole. And I got the support of all the civilians as quickly as possible, right?" Henry said that the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

Bishop Eugene nodded dumbfoundingly: "Yes, but I believe that no matter the lord announces the abolition of these two taxes, he can instantly win the support of all the people. After all, that is a lot of money. Forget it, anyway. You have made a decision, let us go to the banquet now."

A few minutes later, under the protection of the guards, all the nobles rushed into the hall of the Ducal Palace. There was ample food and wine for them to enjoy. As for the civilians outside, there were also plenty of bacon and bread...
