Give Me the Name of God

The concept of vagueness is not as simple as erasing numbers. Manda wants a clear result for everything, which in itself is contrary to the vague divinity.

Horna is right, you should celebrate when you have a child.

Even if it's not for the children, it's still time to celebrate. The people of Qixing Mountain have suffered so much, and they need a carnival.

Even if there is no reason, partying is a good thing!

Manda immediately ordered that the happiest day in August is the Seven Stars Festival.

He entrusted the festival to Silva and told him not to mind the expenses and to prepare a grand celebration for Qixing Mountain.

But which day is the happiest day? Even Silva, who doesn't pay much attention to details, was confused.

"You might as well just set a date. This is not easy to deal with."

"What's wrong with it? Just choose a day! The happiest one, remember, want the happiest one!"

Silva thought hard for several days and came to the conclusion that the happiest day should be the last day of August. On this day, one can not only enjoy the joy of harvest, but also receive the blessing of the Goddess of Stove and Fire. These two goddesses are the opposite of each other. The friendliest god to mortals.

Manda accepted Silva's suggestion and designated the last day of August as the Festival of the Seven Stars. On the day of the festival, the people first offered sacrifices to the two goddesses Demeter and Hestia, and then began a grand carnival.

The women wore gorgeous clothes and sang and danced to their heart's content, while the men brought out the wine jars and drank to their heart's content.

The Claudesay family still follows the old rules, and the whole family gathers together to eat hot pot.

As they were enjoying eating and drinking, Manda felt disappointed: "The reason for this carnival was because a couple had a child..."

Halfway through the words, the women lowered their heads in shame. Manda drank the wine in the glass and said nothing. However, she heard the Sphinx say from the side: "If I can give you a son, how will you repay me?" I?"

Horna opened her eyes wide and said, "Are you kidding me? That's my man!"

Sphinx said: "So what? You are not the only woman he has, but I am the only one. Are you going to suffer a loss?"

Horna said: "But you are my god!"

"This way you won't be at a disadvantage," Sphinx pinched Horna's cheek, "I gave birth to a child for you to raise, just like your own child."

Eudora spat, and Roma gestured in sign language: Shameless.

Sphinx looked at Manda and said, "Do you want a son? Give me a happy word!"

Manda ticked her teeth and said, "I want my son, but you won't help me in vain. It won't be too late to discuss this matter after we have negotiated the price."

Circe smiled and said: "Brother Lover, her terms and price are definitely not low. You might as well choose me. I am sincere to you."

Manda said with disdain: "Will you give birth to a son?"

Circe said softly: "I am better at giving birth to daughters."

Manda hugged Medusa and said, "When she said she could give me a litter, she was just bragging. The same goes for you. We'll wait until the price is negotiated."

At dawn the next day, Manda was going to the mortal world to handle government affairs, and Guatel insisted on going with him.

"I have received a message from the oracle that my god wants to see me on earth."

Can the oracle be received even within the barrier? Is Hephaestus so capable?

Manda didn't want to ask further, and there was no need for him to doubt Guatel. There was nothing wrong with taking him around the capital, but he didn't expect that Horna would also go with him.

"I want to go to the mortal world to relax and spend more time giving birth to your child."

Manda pointed at Guatel and said, "He went to the mortal world to do serious things!"

"Isn't it decent to give birth to your child?"

"One more person and there will be a lot of trouble."

“How different can one person be from two people?”

There is a big difference between one person and two people. Manda had a lot of truths that he wanted to tell Horna, but he couldn't tell them. If he told them, it would not be in line with the vague divinity.

Manda took the two of them to the royal capital. In the royal palace, the ministers were quarreling. The one-year period had come, and they were arguing over whether to resume taxation.

Some ministers believe that there is no need to resume taxation for the time being. The gold mines in the royal capital are enough to support expenses for hundreds of years.

But other ministers don't think so. Taxes must be collected, not only from the royal capital, but also from the lords in various places. Their lives are not easy.

Rungersen took a neutral stance. He knew that resuming taxation now would cause a lot of trouble, but without taxation, the kingdom would not be able to maintain its operations.

At a time of anxiety, Manda came back.

The courtiers breathed a sigh of relief. Manda still had to make a decision on this matter.

Manda listened to the suggestions from both parties and thought for a long time: "Is there any difference between accepting it or not?"

What's going on?

This sentence is too profound!

How could there be no difference between collecting and not collecting?

Manda also felt that this statement was inappropriate, so he added two more sentences: "Taxes must be paid, but there is no need to embarrass farmers and craftsmen. We can collect them from other people or other places."

The Finance Minister thought for a moment and said, "You mean to increase business taxes?"

Manda didn't answer. In fact, he didn't know what to say at all. In order to implement the vague idea, he kept talking nonsense and knew that he was talking nonsense.

Taxes must be collected. This is the basis of the economy. As a transitional period for self-cultivation, the tax rate can be lowered. According to Manda's expectation, the tax rate was reduced from the previous 30% to 10%. This is enough to maintain the expenditure of the royal capital and the nobles in various places. , allowing them to live a prosperous but less luxurious life.

No more nonsense, Manda realized that he was deceiving himself. He had serious resistance to vague thinking, and important decisions could not tolerate any ambiguity.

Manda adjusted her state and was about to speak when she heard Longgesen say: "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean."

you understood? Even I don’t understand it myself, how could you possibly understand it?

"When the kingdom was first established, the Romulu people never paid taxes. Everything we needed came from neighboring countries," said Longson.

After the words fell, the faces of the ministers all changed. Most of the ministers kept shaking their heads, and the eyes of a small number of ministers shone.

Manda's nose twitched, and he smelled blood.

Lungerson suggested to Manda that he should start a war.

The Romulu country started by looting, and the initial happiness of the Romulu people was built on the path of the conquerors.

Is this good?

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

Manda immediately ordered to suspend the resumption of taxation, issued a message to the lords in the western part of the kingdom, and ordered the assembly of troops.

Beyond the western border is the Canglang Kingdom. Longgesen said: "Your Majesty, you want to start with the Canglang people?"

Manda nodded and said: "Autumn has passed, and it's time for the werewolves to fight the autumn wind. After being robbed by him for so many years, it's almost time for them to vomit out a little bit."

Longgesen smiled and led people to write a message.

The ministers were dumbfounded and came forward to advise, especially the Minister of Foreign Affairs who was the most nervous: "Your Majesty, the Canglang Kingdom is funded by the Holy Kingdom of Heaven, with a full treasury and strong troops. It is definitely not a wise move to declare war with it rashly!"

Manda glanced at the Minister of Foreign Affairs: "Wait until he reaches the door, and then I will organize an army to fight. Is this wise?"

The newly appointed adjudicator (equivalent to the chief judge) stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, there are some things that I should not interfere with, but in fact the Wolfmen have already arrived at the door. Since the beginning of the year, a large number of Wolf Cavalry have been wandering around the border. A whole town was looted, and a month ago, the lords of Gray Iron Castle and Red Gorge Town rose up in resistance, and all the men from the two families were driven out and killed, and their heads are still hanging on the necks of the werewolf horses!"

Manda frowned and said, "Why don't I know about this?"

No wonder Longgesen suddenly had the idea of ​​​​war. It turned out that he encountered foreign aggression.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs explained: "Your Majesty, the journey to the west is far away. I have just received the news and am about to discuss countermeasures with the general. There are many herdsmen in Canglang Country. In order to survive the winter, they raid the border every autumn. It is not surprising. ."

The adjudicator shook his head repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, it is impossible for an ordinary shepherd to annihilate the two viscounts. This is definitely the army of the Canglang Kingdom!"

The Foreign Minister glared at the adjudicator: "This is not within your authority, please do not interfere."

"I don't want to interfere. The families of the two viscounts have come to the royal capital and want to seek justice from me. I can't get this justice, so I can only tell His Majesty the truth."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs quickly explained: "This time, what they did is truly unforgivable. I immediately asked someone to send a letter and asked the Blue Wolf King to send an envoy to apologize to us!"

"Has the letter been sent?"

"Not yet, I'll write it right away!"

Manda grabbed the Foreign Minister: "Don't bother, letters written in ink are useless, they must be written in blood!"
