Data Wasteland - chapter 965

After returning from Aaliyah, Chen Xing suddenly remembered that the No. 89 Civic Cemetery where Su Xuefei was located was too dilapidated, and planned to let the finance allocate a sum of money to repair it.

Although he put all the responsibility on Ricardo in his mouth, he was actually very self-blame in his heart. I didn’t treat people well when I was alive, and what I do after death is a drop in the bucket, but I can do a little bit of calculation.

So he asked Lao K to call the Minister of Finance and ask the other party to transfer 10,000 gold coins.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was hesitant, “Mr. Prime Minister, we can give this money, but, but”

He hesitated, looking in a dilemma, Chen Xing couldn’t help frowning, and said a little unhappily, “It’s not so straightforward to allocate 10,000 gold coins, do you have such financial constraints?”

“No, it’s not.” The Chancellor of the Exchequer quickly waved his hand, but in the second half, he began to hesitate again, “It’s just, it’s just”

“Just what!” Chen Xing became impatient and raised his voice, “If you have any problem, just say it, don’t act like a woman!”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was trembling with fright, took out his handkerchief, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead repeatedly, “Lord Prime Minister, I, I” he held back for a long time, and finally, under Chen Xing’s increasingly dark face, finally said, “I am Servant of the Red Dragon Principality”

This sentence seems to be wrong, but Chen Xing immediately woke up.

He is the Prime Minister of the Northern Alliance, not the Prime Minister of the Red Dragon Principality.

The feudal system of feudalism has a famous saying: “The vassal of my vassals are not my vassals”. This means that although the Red Dragon Principality is a vassal of the Northern Alliance, Aaliyah, the lord of the Northern Alliance, has no authority over the officials of the vassal state, and can only issue orders through the Red Dragon Grand Duke.

Even Aaliyah does not have this power, and neither does Chen Xing, who is empowered by her.

Therefore, the Minister of Finance of the Red Dragon Principality has the right to refuse Chen Xing’s request. But after all, he is a superior. Even if he refuses, he would not dare to say it clearly, not to mention that 10,000 gold coins is not a large amount. It’s just that the teacher is unknown and cannot keep accounts.

Thinking a little deeper, Chen Xing suddenly realized that he had overlooked a very important thing.

That is, Aaliyah and Triris are in completely different situations.

Triris’ southern regime sits on the Ice Blue City, and there is also a directly-administered Jinfen Harbor. Although most of the financial revenue will be used to raise the Dragon Scale Guards and the Imperial City Guards, these two places are very rich, one is the Millennium Imperial Capital, and the other is the largest port of the kingdom, with huge taxes. Excluding military expenditures, there is more or less a surplus.

And Aaliyah’s Northern Alliance is a wandering government that has no territory at all and lives in a dependent country.

Although Trilis messed around and made the Binglan City into a haze, everyone was in danger. When Chen Xing took over, the government was in a state of semi-paralysis, and the economy was in a complete mess, but with the help of Aqiaomu’s black prison troops to purge the old powers and dignitaries, She collected a large amount of property and enriched her small treasury.

But Aaliyah can’t do this, even if she wants to kill the chickens and get the eggs, and clean up the powerful and powerful of the monitor lizard city, it is the Red Dragon Grand Duke who will do it, and the profit will go to the Maris family.

What’s more, the dignitaries in Monitor Lizard City are far less rich than the dignitaries in Ice Blue City. They are accumulating money in the center of power, and the wealth accumulated is not of the same rank at all.

By comparison, Aaliyah’s Northern Alliance was dingy poor. Although the vassal state pays tribute on a regular basis, it is now a time of war. The economies of all countries have been affected to varying degrees, tax revenue has dropped significantly, and she also expects the vassal state to send troops to fight for her. War burns money, so don’t expect much tribute from them.

“I’m sorry, it’s my lack of consideration, you go back first.” Chen Xing said while frowning. Even if he is the Prime Minister with one person under ten thousand people, he must admit that he has done something wrong, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public.

“Lord Prime Minister, in fact, it is no problem for us to contribute this money. Even if it is me who contributes the money or finds a few friends to make it together, there is no problem.” The Chancellor of the Exchequer said flatteringly.

Chen Xing waved his hand and refused, “Thank you for your kindness, I will solve it.”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer wanted to say something, but Chen Xing issued an expulsion order, “If there is a need in the future, I will find you. I still have things to do, you go back first.”

Although the other party is well-intentioned, as the Prime Minister of the Northern Alliance, he cannot owe favors for a mere 10,000 gold coins.

“Yes, yes.” The Chancellor of the Exchequer nodded and stepped out.

After the other party left, Chen Xing thought about it and found that the situation was worse than he expected. The entire Northern Alliance, not to mention that there are a bunch of bureaucrats available like the Ice Blue City, there are not many people at all.

Laixi and Yeyang Bailiu can only be counted as half.

In addition to being the chief guard of the Northern Alliance, Lacey is also the eldest princess of the Red Dragon Principality.

Yeyang Bailiu has two identities, one is the great priest of the Northern Alliance, and the other is the branch president of the Sisters of Steel.

No matter in terms of interests, feelings, and responsibilities, they cannot fully serve the Northern Alliance, so they can only be counted as half.

And then there’s the Princess Guard.

According to the memory of Chen Xing’s last life, the Princess Army is an idol group composed of a group of beautiful girls, and the viewing effect is greater than the actual combat effect.

To be young, beautiful, and to have a certain talent, these three conditions are already harsh enough, plus an administrative ability, it is estimated that no one will be recruited.

Facing the current situation of the Northern Alliance, Chen Xingchou couldn’t sleep well all night, so he woke up Margaris, the intern secretary of the Prime Minister’s Office, early in the morning, and rushed to the guard’s camp to convene a meeting.

“Margulies, from tomorrow onwards, you will stay at the guard’s office as an intern.” Chen Xing instructed halfway through.

“Master, why do you keep kicking me around!” Margulies said with some dissatisfaction, “I used to be an intern in the General Staff Department, yesterday I was an intern secretary at the Prime Minister’s Office, today I’m an intern in the Guards Department, and tomorrow I’m an intern again. Where are you going to kick me?”

“Isn’t this valuing you?” Chen Xing coaxed, “You are one of the people I trust the most. Wherever there is difficulty, I need you.”

“Really!” “When did Master lie to you?”

Under Chen Xing’s coaxing, Margulies was overjoyed and happily agreed to change departments.

Since Lexi went to Crow to take over the territory, and Ye Yang and Bai Liu were dealing with the internal affairs of the Great Holy Church, neither of them were there, so Ye Yang Qingyan, the head of the logistics guard, was in charge of receiving him.

After half a year, Ye Yangqingyan was a little awkward when she saw him again, her eyes flickered, and she didn’t dare to look directly into his eyes.

The other party had broken up with him before, and he also said a very classic saying “I didn’t expect you to be such a person”, it would be strange if it was embarrassing.

Chen Xing called Ye Yangqingyan in front of him, squinted and stared at her for a while, and said, “Let’s have a meeting today, and I’ll settle the account with you later.”

Ye Yangqingyan didn’t dare to look him in the eyes, lowered her head, nodded obediently, and then twisted her buttocks to inform the female officers at the guard’s office.

Since the guard office is a military camp, everyone lived here, and it didn’t take long for everyone to arrive.

All of them looked like they had just finished taking a shower, and their eyes were sparse and hazy. It seems that the guards are usually pampered, with more money and less living.

However, these female officials were very polite when they saw Chen Xing, saying “Good morning, Mr. Prime Minister”, with a 90-degree bow and a very enthusiastic attitude.

In the conference room, Chen Xing sat in the first place, followed by Ye Yangqingyan, the head of the logistics guard, Lan Xueqi, the messenger of the thousand candles, Ryoko Ito, the medical officer, the twins Shiraishi Hitomi and Shiraishi Ying, and the newly appointed guards intern. Margulies.

“Today, the cabinet meeting of the Northern Alliance is held to understand the organizational structure of the Northern Alliance and to arrange future work.” Chen Xing announced.

It’s probably because I’m used to it. Except for Margulies, the women in the guard’s office look at me and I look at you. They all look ignorant.

Seeing that several women didn’t understand, Chen Xing asked about the affairs they were usually responsible for.

The result is that I don’t know if I don’t ask, and I’m startled when I ask.

Baishitong and Baishiying were not officers, they were called to make up the numbers because they knew Chen Xing, so that the conference table would not look too spacey.

Ryoko Ito is a military doctor in the Guards Department. She usually adjusts her diet and does physical examinations for girls to ensure their health and beauty.

As a logistics officer, Ye Yangqingyan is even more extreme. In addition to playing with cars, he occasionally takes everyone out to eat, drink, and have fun, and he doesn’t know anything about politics.

Lan Xueqi is a little better, with a more stable personality, but the scope of her work is very small, just to convey the will for the princess of the north, and to put it bluntly, she is a messenger.

After a long time, it turned out to be a group of little girls who only cared about having fun, just like canaries raised in the royal garden. For the internal affairs of the Northern Alliance, it is even more ignorant.

If there is any merit to them, it is that they are generally young and beautiful, and have a strong publicity ability. What’s more, with the investment of the Northern Princess regardless of the cost, all kinds of precious materials can be said to be asking for anything, so all of them are very powerful.

But it’s a bit of a violation of this group of beautiful girls to go to the battlefield. Compared with the general army, the Princess Guard is more like a hatching pool for future powerhouses.

Perhaps in the near future, a group of sanctuary powerhouses and even legends will be born among them, but for now, it is a department that burns money and does not work.

Chen Xing asked how much money was left in the treasury of the Northern Alliance, but Ye Yangqingyan couldn’t tell, because the chief guard was in charge of the money.

According to the number of guards, Lacey gave her a fixed monthly fee, as well as evolution potions and undercurrent relics in the material warehouse, as well as various valuable vehicles and military supplies.

Ye Yangqingyan is a typical moonlight family, and every month’s budget will be exhausted. Chen Xing visited the garage and dormitory, and found that they were all luxury goods.

Even Margulies, who was a noble lady, was a little surprised that some things were better than hers.

Not to mention all kinds of top luxury cars in the garage, not to mention seven or eight sets of custom-made military uniforms, shoes, and accessories from world famous brands per person, not to mention the skin care products customized by Sifes Pharmaceuticals. Even the usual mouthwash cups, toothbrushes, and even sanitary napkins are custom-made by famous brands, with the small logo of the guard’s office printed on them, which can be described as extremely extravagant.

Compared with the rustling grass in Su Xuefei’s cemetery, there is really a smell of red wine and meat, and the road feels like frozen bones.

There was no way, there was no one in charge of this group of people, so Chen Xing had to ask them to bring the holographic projector to the conference room and let Lacey also participate in the meeting.

When asked about the economic situation of the Northern Alliance, Laixi spread her hands and said, “No money!”

The reason is that all the offerings from various countries are used to raise the Princess Guard, and there is not a single surplus in the treasury. Chen Xing estimated that Lacey was corrupt. No matter how extravagant the Princess Guard was, there were only more than 200 people.

Nine times out of ten, Lacey used the money to help her Red Dragon Second Army. In addition, Yeyang Bailiu may also participate in it, share a piece of the pie, and help his steel sisters.

But he still can’t do anything about these two big corrupt officials, they are not like A Qiaomu, they can grab each other’s pigtails and scrape the oil hard. They are not only the important ministers of the Northern Alliance, but also have their own forces behind them, unlike Aqiaomu who can only rely on Triris. Once it loses power, it can only be slaughtered by others.

After some rhetoric, Chen Xing learned that the Northern Alliance currently has only two sources of income.

One is the offering of the vassal, but as Lacey said, they are all used to raise the Princess Guard.

Another is to ask Aaliyah to go hunting in Zone Zero to help make up for the expenses. Last time, because the Red Dragon 3rd Army Group failed to attack Chiyan and had a heavy pension on her back, Aaliyah had to find a way to solve it by herself.

But the last time I came back, Aaliyah was injured. Although it was not serious, it was just some skin injuries, but it took some time for her to recover.

Because of the conservation of energy, Yeyang Bailiu’s great healing technique was a little stretched on Alia, as if raindrops fell into the arid desert and were absorbed in an instant. During this period, if there is a king war, the consequences will be disastrous.

“Because of my own lack of ability, it is really the sin of the courtier to let the master take risks.”

“The Prime Minister is sitting on one city and one port, so the small treasury should be quite substantial, right?”

Inside and outside of Lacey’s words, she was implying that Chen Xing would use the funds of the southern government to help him.

But this is absolutely impossible. Although Chen Xing is playing chess on both sides, the Chu and Han borders still need to be clearly distinguished. Taking one woman’s money to help make up for another woman, he can’t do this kind of scumbag behavior.

When financial problems arise, it is necessary to increase income and reduce expenditure.

The problem of throttling seems to be a bit difficult. It is not so easy for Laixi or Ye Yangqingyan to dig money out of a woman’s fingers.

Since throttling is not enough, start with open source.

Chen Xing thought about it for a long time, looked at Zhang Jiao’s good face, and suddenly had an idea.

“You all sing, dance, and perform shows, right?” Chen Xing asked.

The girls looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what melons the Prime Minister was selling in the gourd, but they all nodded.

Women are born actors, the more beautiful they are, the more they are.

“In this way, I think of a good way to make money.” Then, Chen Xing expressed his thoughts one by one.

“concert tour!”

After listening to his description, Ye Yang Qingyan covered her mouth and looked at him in shock.

“To be precise, it’s a tour of the Super Girl Group.” Chen Xing added.

Not to mention anything else, more than 200 beauties stood on the stage, and the tickets were received softly. They may not be able to do anything else, but pouting and selling sweets, but the guards are good at it.

“Wow, it seems very exciting!” “Shiraishi Hitomi, don’t make a fuss!” The two Shiraishi sisters shouted.

“Where to perform?” Lan Xueqi asked calmly. Now that all places are in a state of war, who is still in the mood to watch the show?

“Ten city-states!” Chen Xingyi designated Jiangshan, and everyone fell into thinking. In the Red Civil War, the ten city-states stayed out of the way and were in peacetime.

In the end, even Lacey admitted that the plan was feasible.

Raising a group of beautiful girls with such a large expense, it is indeed unreasonable to have no income.

Next, the beauties expressed their opinions and discussed the specific implementation plan of the tour.

After a few hours, the meeting ended. Before the meeting, Chen Xing thought about the repairing of the cemetery again, and was about to talk to Ye Yangqingyan, but when he looked at the big eyes of the other party’s flowing water and rippling stars, he suddenly couldn’t say anything.

He could be sure that if he dared to let the other party pay to repair Su Xuefei’s purpose, it is estimated that the other party would overturn the vinegar jar on the spot and turn his face with him regardless.

So this matter, in the end, he can only pay for it himself.

Back at the Prime Minister’s Office, he transferred 10,000 gold coins to Lao K and asked the other party to do this. The repair of the cemetery has come to an end.
