Chapter 520 You are not playing me, are you?
While Yang Yiyi was dealing with the water element, Viola seemed to be much more relaxed at the same time.
By taking over the City of Silver, Viola had essentially met the conditions for restoring her country, but she neither sent troops to pursue the defeated Enwei Demon Kingdom army, nor did she clear out the remaining forces of the Four-Nation Alliance on her own territory, nor was she in a hurry to become king.
During this period, Viola has been doing administrative work, and she has been so busy that she has broken several quills.
After the war, there was the aftermath to be dealt with, rewards to be given according to merit, and attention to dealing with the surrendering nobles in the city. Also, we had to find a way to get the government, which had killed too many officials, running again.
The administrative work alone was enough to keep her busy, and there were other things that gave Viola even more headaches.
The Demon Kingdom of Avarus is a feudal country. Except for the Demon King's direct jurisdiction and several cities directly managed by the royal palace, most of the territories are divided among the noble lords.
Compared with centralization, this approach is indeed easier to reassure people's hearts. Moreover, the Avarus Demon Kingdom has been conquered for so long and has never surrendered, which is inseparable from the tenacious resistance of these lords.
But the problem is that every lord wants to take more and occupy more, and the intensity of party struggles is no better than that of the Ming Dynasty.
Because of their contributions to the enthronement, the nobles who followed Viola into the City of Silver began to become dishonest and tried to expand their power at a time when everything was in ruins.
During this period, Viola also had to take time out to talk to the nobles, understand their demands, and balance the relationships between them. To be honest, this was much more tiring than administrative work.
Viola was born in the palace. Even if she didn't want to know these things, she should understand them through osmosis. But understanding doesn't mean she is willing to do it.
She formed the Knights Guard in order to avoid getting involved in political exchanges and prevent the domestic nobles from targeting her.
——Of course, also to avoid wearing high heels to the dance.
But at that time she was a princess, with her father and brother around, so it didn't matter if she had some freedom. Now the situation is different, she is the only direct descendant of Avarus.
Theoretically, Oldie also has the right of inheritance. If she is reliable, it is not impossible for Viola to push Oldie to be the demon king.
But look at it, is Alde reliable?
If she became a demon king, she would probably not think about handling government affairs for more than ten years. The few times she met with ministers, she would definitely ask the national treasury for money to meet her research expenses...
There was no other choice but Viola to bear all the responsibilities.
Although it is troublesome, there is still some good news.
Li Chengxi has been paying more attention to Yang Yiyi recently, and he didn't notice that the number of gold coins in the column has been increasing rapidly since Viola entered the Silver City.
Moreover, Viola planned to send troops after dealing with domestic issues. Not to mention attacking all the four countries that had invaded Avarus, at least she would make them pay a large amount of war reparations.
After all, Avarus is now seriously damaged. If it doesn't ask for money to rebuild now when the four countries are busy, there will be no chance later.
Gold coins will no longer be a big problem, and since the Silver City was once breached, some people ran away, some were killed, and some surrendered nobles are now seized by Viola.
After a few days of inventory, Viola managed to find a large piece of land at her disposal in the center of the capital, where every inch of land is valuable.
As for what to do with this piece of land...
Viola signed and stamped a document, then handed it to Zora who was waiting beside her:
"Send it to Kaimen City and ask the architects working there to design a plan for the Great Temple based on the size of the land. There is no upper limit on the budget, so feel free to do whatever you want. I only want the best."
Several months had passed, and less than one-tenth of the temple in Kaimen City had been built. The country had just met the conditions for restoration, and Viola was about to build a bigger one.
If there were a cabinet to assist Viola in governing the country now, someone would definitely report to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the wonders are ruining the country."
But Zora was also a believer with full piety. He took the document from Viola and planned to carry it out without saying a word.
There is no plan to rebuild the original wooden wind temple in the Leon territory. It represents the starting point and has quite important symbolic significance, so just maintain the status quo.
But the temple in the capital must be big, must be magnificent, must be the kind that you can tell at a glance that it is a wonder of the world. Construction funds? Don't talk to me about the cost, that's not important. Viola believes that the belief in the Demon King God will spread, and she wants to build the capital's great temple into the largest and best temple in the entire plane, so that believers from the entire plane can come to make a pilgrimage.
Although it is a bit irrational, it is not completely unreasonable.
The most important affairs of a country are sacrifice and war...
Regardless of how long it will take to complete the construction of this great temple, as long as Avarus exists, he will continue to repair it until he is satisfied.
Prior to this, Viola had requisitioned some unused scattered shops or mansions of surrendered nobles to be used as temples for priests to preach. In just a few days, more than a dozen statues had been erected, shocking the civilians of the City of Silver with a wave of Demon King God.
Zora hurriedly left the office with the documents, just in time to meet Oldie who came in.
"Viola, I think..."
"No, you don't want to."
Viola didn't even raise her head. As soon as she heard Olde's voice, she knew what she was going to do.
"If you are free, please help me deal with those nobles. I am almost too busy to eat, but you are just hanging around all day."
"But the Demon King's Ring is very important to Your Majesty."
"Of course I know its importance, but do you have accurate information? The Lord specifically told me not to rashly go looking for the Demon King's Ring."
"I have great confidence..."
“But not sure.”
"Well, it's not certain."
Very little information from the mythological era remains until now, and it is extremely difficult to confirm the location of the Demon King's Ring. Alde has been referring to ancient documents to search for it, but it has always been just guesswork and there is no accurate information.
The last time she took the initiative to go to the territory of the Demon Kingdom of Tandron to look for the Demon King's Ring was just a coincidence. She happened to run into it, but it is impossible for her to be so lucky every time.
Now the four countries are in chaos, and the two speculated Demon King's rings are within the four countries.
It would be fine to go there in peacetime, but if she went there now, if anything went wrong, Oldie would become a hostage threatening Viola.
Viola raised her head slightly from the documents, glanced at Olde's almost expressionless face, and couldn't help but sigh.
After all, Viola knew her cousin's character very well. She was reluctant to say anything too final, so she tried to compromise and said:
"What's the name of that intelligence dealer..."
"Theresa?"
"Yes, haven't I already entrusted her to investigate? If she has accurate information, I will support you in selecting someone to take the Demon King's Ring."
"I knew you would say that. What a coincidence! Theresa is outside."
"..."
Was she playing me just now?
Viola, very skeptical.
