[West Fantasy] The noble lady who was divorced became rich

After Circe, Cassandra, and Lolo became Mariana's night watchmen, Lucian took two other elf maids to measure their height measurements, and then asked the aunts serving in the palace to rush to make a few sets Dirty maid clothes.

Because in order to repay the loans from the Principality of Britannia and the Principality of Aquique, Obstar directly gave up some of the domestic mining rights and pricing rights, so it is possible to get a glimpse of how big the treasury of Obstar is. null.

In the face of the chaos in Obstar, even though Mariana is a recognized rich woman, she can't show off her wealth and change three sets of clothes a day when the people of Obstar are saving money.So after becoming Queen Obsta, she also started to be frugal. Not only did she not need the service of nearly a hundred maids like Queen Polina, but she also encouraged the temporary court to give priority to hiring poor women and disabled women. The old man then expressed his rejection when the proposal to "rebuild the palace" was handed over to the Imperial Council.

"The money should not be spent here now." Mariana decided to use Queen Mary's residence in her later years as a new palace after the domestic situation stabilized, and then use her own money to build a free performance venue after the original palace ruins were cleaned up. .

"Why is it a performance venue?" The members of the imperial council were a little confused about the series of operations of the little queen after Marianna made a suggestion.

After all, Mariana, as the ruler of a country, has begun to practice frugality, and the nobles who support Mariana, it is not good to dress up like a beautiful peacock when the boss is wearing "plain" cotton skirts. So for a while, the nobles of Obstar also began to admire the beauty of simplicity.Even those aristocratic ladies and rich men who love to show off their wealth, put away their extravagant jewelry, trying not to make themselves stand out among their friends.

Under such circumstances, since the imperial council dared to come up with a proposal to "rebuild the palace", it was expected that Marianna would reject it on the spot, so they wanted to give the current queen a good name.It's a pity that they expected that Mariana would reject the proposal of "rebuilding the palace", but they didn't expect that Mariana would propose to build a performance venue.

"It's a charity performance venue." Faced with the confusion of the imperial council, Marianne explained in a prepared manner: "I personally funded the construction of a fully public performance venue on the site of the original palace. No matter who holds a performance there, everyone There is no venue fee, but you can’t charge spectators for tickets either.”

With such an explanation, half of the confusion in the Imperial Council dissipated immediately, but some people continued to ask: "Then who will pay for the follow-up maintenance costs?"

Considering that the ruins of the original palace are very large, and it is adjacent to a large square, it is also in the capital.If it is changed to a performance venue, it will definitely become the largest performance venue in the country with the largest capacity, so the cleaning and maintenance fees after the performance are not small figures.

"Take the private account of the royal family." Mariana remembered that in ancient Rome, big figures like Caesar, Antony, and Octavian would provide free performances to the public during holidays or when they were engaged in trouble, so as to gain their support.

It's like modern teat music, the best way to keep ordinary people from giving up on themselves and turning their anger on those in power.

Take Tiberius, the second emperor of Rome, a founding monarch of ancient Rome, the adopted son of the famous Octavian, for example.In fact, this person is a scumbag in his private life, but in terms of political actions, compared with the later emperors, he definitely does not have too many black spots.

Yet Roman citizens just didn't like Tiberius.

One is because people at the time believed that Tiberius, as Octavian's adopted son and stepson, poisoned Octavian's nephew and grandson to death in order to inherit the throne, that is, the heir to the throne who had been adopted by Octavian.

The second is because Tiberius banned a series of entertainment activities after he came to power, including the Colosseum and public performances.

And this also became the successor of Tiberius, that is, the famous tyrant Caligula, the means to win the hearts of the people.

Mariana knew very well how hopeless Obsta was now. Even as a ruler, she had the urge to pack up and run away the moment she saw the financial statements.Not to mention ordinary people who are struggling and trying to figure out how to get through today.

They don't have the identity of Mariana, and they are not like Mariana. No matter how desolate they are, there are still people to support her. Therefore, under such circumstances, people are prone to despair.

And after multiplying these desperate people by millions, there must be some people who jump over the wall in a hurry and want to pull others away.

In this regard, Mariana wanted to build a charitable performance venue on the site of the original palace, which is not so difficult to explain.

After all, how many people in modern life are motivated to play a game after get off work and chase their favorite stars.So in this world, exchanging the power of life for performances that can be paid for nothing is enough to rekindle the hope of life for some Obsidians.

And Mariana's operation is not just letting the public and even herself prostitute musicians for free.

Especially when a member of the Imperial Council asked: "What if no one wants to perform there", Mariana smiled quite confidently.

"No, there are bound to be performers vying for a place to play there, and I'm going to limit it to six times a year."

As soon as these words came out, the members of the imperial council showed the confused expressions just now.

After all, performers!To put it nicely, it is an artist, but to put it badly, it is an entertainer, an actor.Whether in modern times, ancient times, or in this fictional world of western fantasy, they all belong to the end of the three religions and nine streams.

Most of the people who can hold public performances go for money and fame.

As for charity...

It can only be said that entertainers in this world do not have the interest and opportunity to engage in character design. After all, the only way for the public to know them is performance.At present, when the media channels are relatively weak, the public does not have much interest in the private lives of entertainers, let alone pay attention to their personalities.

Therefore, if Mariana wants these entertainers, especially well-known entertainers to perform at their own expense, they can only start from their pursuit of mainstream recognition.

"What if I would take my family to see the performance in person?"

Just like modern entertainers are willing to go to mainstream channels for free, the opening performances of a certain sports in a certain country have to be paid for by the entertainers themselves, and they have to play a game before paying.

If the entertainers in this world, especially the entertainers in Obstar, know, Mariana, the queen of a country, would like to go to their performances.Not to mention letting them pay out of their own pockets, if you let them pay out of their own pockets and then give them a huge sum of money, they can break their heads for it.

For Mariana, watching a show will not lose a piece of meat, and she can also have a good talk with the people.
