Although the Northern Battle expanded the empire's territory, it also attracted unanimous condemnation from countries in the Western Continent for Ereponia.

Osborne was concerned about this and continued to advance his plan as always.

Northampulia's governance was entrusted to Governor Lufas by him. Recently, Mayor Regniz sent a document through a secret channel, and the prime minister seemed to intend to implement a concept called the eight metropolis of the Empire.

“Ha~”

Ryan sneered and threw the document on his desk, "Unified tax system and national legal system? Good idea, but unfortunately the possibility of realization in the short term is too low."

Due to the aristocratic system of the empire, there are very big differences in the tax systems across the country, and the tax systems in various places will be completely formulated by the local aristocrats themselves.

Take Lamar State ruled by Ryan as an example. It is not that he does not want to unify the tax system, but that due to different living standards in different places, there will naturally be some slight differences in the tax standards of the territory.

The wealthy nobles naturally had to bear more taxes. In the barren territory, Ryan appropriately relaxed the taxes that local lords and lords had to pay layer by layer.

Although after the establishment of the Discipline Inspection Commission, most of the nobles clamped their tails to formulate policies according to the tax guidance given by Ryan, it is impossible to completely unify the tax system for at least three years.

As for the legal system, these are all the four famous families that govern the territorial states that have worked hard and perfected after countless years of revisions. Prime Minister Osborne wanted to deny the hundreds of years of efforts of his predecessors in vernacular terms... It is not easy.

Miltio stretched out his finger and pointed his lips, and said thoughtfully, "Well~ The four major legislators and Closbels should not be able to unify the tax system according to the Prime Minister's idea. However, it was Zhulai and Northampulia..."

"Um."

Ryan nodded, "But I think it is obviously an irresponsible attitude to the locals to tax Julai and Northampulia according to the same tax system."

"After years of development, Zhulai Special Economic Zone not only restored its prosperity during the city and country period, but also even exceeded it. On the other hand, Northampulia..."

Earl Earl Eagle frowned and pondered, "Prime Minister Osborne is intended to emphasize the authority of the central government, use a unified ruler to measure taxes and green hair, so as to demonstrate the authority of the central government and weaken the influence of the nobles in the local area."

"According to normal circumstances, Northampulia cannot be taxed with the tax levels of DeShanghai Mdal and Zhulai, unless..."

"snort!"

Earl Ferremont snorted coldly, "Unless Governor Lufas levies a heavy tax, completely ignoring the lives of the people."

Ryan and Lixia looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads, "If it were someone else, I guess they wouldn't dare to do such things that are angry and resentful, but the noble son with a flawed personality... is hard to say."

"Forget it." Ryan knocked on the table and said, "Let's take care of our own affairs first. How is the progress of urban transformation? What about the resettlement of refugees?"

...

After the Battle of the North, the god Odin left Northampulia and returned to Ordis without knowing it.

The prime minister's intention of taking away the remains of the Salt Pile was still not revealed. After the remains were secretly transported back to the empire by the Intelligence Bureau, they were quickly handed over to the prime minister.

As for the subsequent whereabouts of the wreckage, the people sent by Ryan were unable to track down, so they could only be roughly sure that they should be in Heimdal.

After Lien was unconscious in Northampulia for excessive liberating the power of ghosts, he did not recover his consciousness for three days and three nights.

When he woke up, it was all over.

The rampage of the power of ghost seemed to have brought a lot of psychological shadows and confusion to Reen. He entrusted government personnel to transport Walima back to the Torz Technology Building, and he came to Ordis to seek solutions to his senior brother Ryan.

Ryan looked at Lien, who looked a little confused in front of him and sighed softly, "As you expected, my power is also in a crisis of out of control. According to Luo Sai's judgment, it should be related to the empire's gradually active spiritual veins and the increasing spiritual strength."

"Lien, listen to my advice."

Ryan solemnly looked at his junior brother and warned, "If you were not forced into a desperate situation in the future, don't use the power of ghosts anymore. Once the power is out of control... the power of ghosts you think you rely on may hurt your relatives and friends."

"It's true..."

Li En shook his head with a dark face, "I thought the power of ghosts could become a part of my own power, but I didn't expect..."

Ryan got up and walked to him, reached out and patted Lien on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't care, you can get to this point today, don't rely entirely on the power of ghosts, right?"

"I know you are still confused and confused about the situation in the empire and what he does, but you always have to walk your own path. The influence that 'he' can exert is limited, right?"

After rubbing the junior brother's hair, Ryan asked with a smile, "I heard that you haven't figured out what you will do after graduation?"

"Yeah." Li En said with a wry smile, "It's obviously not far from graduation, but I'm still hesitating."

There are basically no courses in the second half of the second academic year of Tolz. The time left is to allow students to choose their future path in advance and actively participate in related internships.

...Of course, there is also the last chance for re-examination for students who fail to get a science exam, but that has nothing to do with Li En, a good student.

"Mr. Toval has invited me, and becoming a guerrilla like the Philippines may be a good way out."

Ryan chuckled and said, "Indeed, Sarah and I taught you that was basically based on the guerrilla template. If you join the guerrilla association, you should be able to get on track as quickly as the Philippines."

"but……"

Ryan corrected his face, "Are you sure that being a guerrilla can realize your philosophy that you inherited from Olibat? Especially in this Erebonian Empire where guerrilla activities are restricted."

Reen sighed, "This is also where I hesitate. Guerrillas cannot participate in politics and military affairs, and are also restricted by Prime Minister Osborne in many ways."

"And... with the Philippines providing information about guerrillas, it seems a bit extravagant for me to join."

Ryan patted Reen's shoulder hard again, "Then, I'll give you another choice."

Seeing Lien's puzzled eyes, a gleam flashed through Ryan's eyes, "Do you want to come to Tolz Second Branch to serve as an instructor? Pass on the knowledge and ideas you learned from Tolz's school to the next generation of juniors... What's this idea?"

“Eh?”

Li En was stunned, and then he was excited, "Do you instructor... It sounds like it's very interesting."

Ryan knew that the junior brother was moved, and a successful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and continued to persuade him, "I promise you that although the Second Branch made some concessions to the prime minister when it was established, he still could not completely get rid of the imperial government's clampdown."

"But compared to the Tolz school, which will completely achieve militarization next year, this second branch built in Ribs can better inherit the true spirit of Tolz. How about it? Are you coming?"

Li En scratched his head and asked, "Senior brother, can I ask other instructor candidates? Also, who are the principal and chairman of the branch school?"

"Well..." Ryan smiled mysteriously. "Principal, I can tell you that he was the commander-in-chief of the noble alliance last year - Golden Rakshasa, Aurelia Leguien."
