The royal palace was covered in blood that day. The black magician did his name.
The kingdom was shaken as a result of the secret that he was a black magician until the age of 20 and the sudden rebellion in one day. The nobles were slaughtered one by one. There were countless deaths in one day.
Serious crimes were occurring, the deaths were not without reason. The exploitation of the king and the nobles to the people was banal, and in one day they all disappeared.
The only black magician appeared that day. The royal family was destroyed. Nobles were slaughtered. There was now a new emperor, a king whose arrival brought only blood and brutality. Everyone was hopeless, Amoli lost the pillars on which he was leaning. It was doomed to collapse.
After a series of attacks on the kingdom, Huajin made the decision to handle this job alone.
The power from his previous life also penetrated this body. He had more power than he could ever ask for.
The kingdom was undergoing change. Feng Lang agreed to become his assistant on one condition; would bring prosperity to the kingdom.
In the meantime, he managed to find the author. The author took great pleasure in this as he trembled on his knees before him. Therefore, he did not leave this woman with him. Whenever he was bored, it scared him. Obviously it was pretty fun.
It took a month for the kingdom to recover. Now it was better than before, the law was strict, and on top of that, none of the noble families dared to oppose the king or even supported him even if they wanted to. This noble power had no effect on the king.
The famous jester of the royal family became a feared ruthless king.
However, he found the job of ruling this kingdom fun. Of course he dumped all the paperwork on Afeng. After all, how can he say no to this kingdom when he is burning with love to serve it?
(Actually forced)
He made his mark as a ruthless king who was fond of fun and laziness. But no one could make a sound. His power for magic is beyond their imagination. The greatest wizard ever!
People were slowly noticing this person who would put their names in the history books. Even though it was a small kingdom, it was something they could no longer afford to provoke. Because this sorcerer had no mercy, and he was implementing the policy of 'get rid of every obstacle in his way' without an iota of conscience.
Amoli, who was now on the verge of collapsing at any moment, had managed to recover in just 1 month. Everyone was just staring at the black magician's hands. Their fate was up to their choice.
***
after 1 month.
"Tax rates have been reduced to the extent that the people can afford, it has been announced that no tax will be collected from any agricultural activities for 1 year since the new emperor came to the throne."
"Projects that benefit the kingdom will be supported by the emperor..."
"Extreme reduction of tax as promoted Maritime Trade..."
"Furthermore, it has been decided to pay taxes according to the status of each family. Of course, the nobles will pay more than the people."
There was a long silence after the new Emperor. There was no sound from the Emperor as the personnel clearances were taken care of by Afeng. This new proclamation was the emperor's second edict. The first, of course, was his accession to the throne and the removal of all tax debts as a celebration of this...
***
"Aren't you afraid to offend the nobles?" Afeng asked while wiping the glass of his glasses.
"I don't care" was creating a rather 'lazy' image as she slumped on the bed with her loose clothes and loose hair.
Anyway, the main character was his sidekick. Not to mention that she's stronger than the main character. Who dares to go against him, huh?
"However, the situation you suggested was advantageous for the people. Because of the taxes, the people never recovered. They were stuck in debt swamps as a result of the amounts that were many times over their budgets. One year is enough for them to recover." He looked at the lazy figure on the bed as he put on his glasses.
"What's your next step going to be?"
"I think to focus on profits in the long term, but short-term profits should be included in the meantime"
"Immediate long-term goals are the emphasis on education and awareness. There is enough money in the treasury, I plan to contribute to academies. Of course, this will not be an empty contribution, I should get the money's worth."
Slowly straightening up, he continued, looking at Afeng.
"What I want is for the academy to provide education under the conditions I want"
"You kind of want to be its manager? I don't think this will be taken easily. It can backfire if it's under pressure..." Afeng was confused.
"No, I'll start my own academy" Huajin shrugged carelessly.
There was silence for a while.
As he was rubbing the earring in his ear, something occurred to him that he had not thought of for a long time; gender.
This earring was forced on her when she was very young and she got used to being a boy for years. She had never returned to her life as a girl in her previous life. He continued his life as a man even in what is called the modern world.
And here it is, still going on like that. In fact, he was no stranger to this subject. On the contrary, he was so used to it that he could not even see a problem. Besides, being a girl at a time when gender was so restricted was only burdensome.
There was also the poison that would be released when the earring was removed. He wasn't an expert on poison and doesn't even know what kind of poison it is. For this reason, he decided not to remove it and put this issue in the background for a long time.
"Send word to the academy. As long as my requests are accepted without question, I will give them great support. The amount allocated to education will be increased from 3% to 30%"
Afeng stood up in shock.
"This is not a logical decision! There are higher priorities for education at the moment..."
"I know this, but in the long run, profit must be built already. Otherwise, there is no hope for this kingdom unless the foundations are solid. It is the people who keep the kingdom alive."
Afeng fell silent and shaking his head, nit began to fall on the paper.
"Then what ?"
"As I said, the priority is the people. Social events should be established and 'useful' skills should be gained as much as possible. The kingdom needs things..."
"There is also a lack of talent as well as a shortage of people. I am issuing an edict, announce it to the public. With the start of the new school year, the academies have to admit girls to the school as well. Those who oppose will be prosecuted for treason."
"This is too heavy. Pressure is not the solution..."
She was going to refuse, but the memory pressure from Huajin took her breath away.
"The kingdom must be radically changed and these ancient traditions buried in history. With this mindset, no one will gain for long." Purple eyes gleamed sharply.
"That's not what I meant. Immediate decisions will make it harder to adapt." With a sigh, Afeng felt he couldn't convey what he meant.
"Then let them get used to it. There will be more snapshots. The laws will be completely changed. Nothing will remain the same in the kingdom except the name."
"You're too hasty, you need to act without thinking..."
"Without thinking? Afeng you're wrong about that. I've been thinking about this for over 7 years." He waved his hand and said, "Shut up and follow orders."
"Finally, support the interaction of the people with the citizens of other countries through social activities etc."
They should see different perspectives.
"Start this by targeting the Raprace kingdom"
"Okay" Lian Feng left the room.
