Gold coin is justice - Chapter 1317

The content of the letter should not be much. It will be read in a few seconds. But after reading, he held the letter tightly in his hand, as if to crush someone’s heart.

At that moment, the side hall, which should have been full of laughter, was immediately repressed by a very heavy atmosphere. Ministers, look at me and I look at you. Everyone didn’t speak, but everyone guessed in their hearts what kind of letter it was.

After such silence lasted for almost a full minute, the emperor finally recovered slowly, unfolded and folded the letter in his hand, stuffed it into the envelope and his pocket.

“You guys, all of you here are my confidants. I need you to give me advice on some things. Some of my decisions now need someone to help me judge and negotiate. ”

After this narration, the emperor’s face smiled again, as if the episode of the letter just now did not exist at all——

“Speaking of, it is now a new round of funding year. At the end of August, the last tax year ended, and then the settlement began. Up to now, almost the taxes of the whole empire have been collected. ”

“Well, of course I said that the party here today should be just chatting. Let’s relax and talk about the governance of our empire in the way of chatting. Carlton, how is the tax report you compiled for the previous year? ”

When people turned their eyes, they saw a young minister about 30 with a cautious smile on his face and said slowly: “if you avoid it, the tax collection in the empire is generally good. Except for a few areas suffering from disaster years and the disturbance of refugees, the current data can not be counted, But overall, this year’s tax revenue is still about five percentage points higher than last year. ”

The fierce wave patted his thigh and said with a smile, “does it look good? Our budget seems to have a better surplus this year! By the way, everyone, what do you think should be the main investment in this year’s tax? ”

For a moment, the ministers were confused about the emperor’s real thoughts. For a moment, no one spoke. They all looked left and right, waiting for who came first.

At this time, a count sitting in the corner now said, “Your Majesty, since this year’s surplus is good, I think maybe we should make more efforts to build weapons and armor. It coincides with the fact that our confrontation with the hunter Empire has entered a stalemate stage. Once there is a war, we must need a lot of armor. ”

Hearing this proposal, Prince Jinguo smiled, but did not speak.

“Although armor is very important, I think war horses are more important.”

It was another general who said this. The general looked at the majike elder with a smile on his face and said slowly——

“After entering the battlefield, although armor can play a certain role, the decisive factor must be mobility. Therefore, cultivating more war horses can undoubtedly directly enhance the overall strength of our empire. ”

At this time, another minister opened his mouth and said with a smile: “Alas, the reason why the hunter Empire has always been against us now is, in my opinion, because of their barbarism, rudeness and backwardness. Therefore, as a higher-level country and a more civilized country, we should fully educate them. Therefore, we should allocate more funds to the Holy See of light, and then let the Holy See of light go to the hunter Empire to preach. As long as the enemy’s soldiers believe in the God of light, we can even get each other’s soldiers, territories and armor without using a knife or a gun. It’s not much cheaper and more effective than any battle? ”

Priestly also glanced at the high priest Majik, who looked angry next to him, with a triumphant smile in his eyes.

It’s just

“Your Majesty, I think it’s better to invest all the money in the element machine.”

As soon as he said this, the others had nothing, but the elder majick of the magic association and the priestly priest of the Holy See of light shook their eyebrows and all looked at the direction of the voice.

No one else was talking. It was the Connor conservative teacher.

The dean of the old tengshu department did not show the slightest fear because there were two people staring at him, but said: “I think since the element machine can play such an efficient force in the border cities in the past year, it can certainly develop a more powerful effect by transferring it to our Hanhai city. Now is not the time to hesitate. It should be to increase efforts to make a new round of investment in the element machine. As long as the element machine can flourish, it will certainly create more resources. In this way, our people can enjoy better and cheaper materials, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and can pay more taxes. As long as the empire is richer, things such as armaments will naturally be brought up stably. ”

Hearing these words in Ariel’s ears, she was really moved.

She looked at her teacher gratefully and threw a grateful smile on his side face.

Although this gratitude is only for the teacher’s praise, it does not represent her interest in the proposal.

“Element machine…”

Obviously, the emperor had been waiting for this concept.

He touched his chin, thought about it, smiled, nodded and said——

“Caton, what’s the growth rate of Pelican city’s wealth?”

The economic minister was a little stunned. After a little thought, he said: “I dare not deceive your majesty, but now I just remember the fiscal revenue of each province. The data of specific towns may not be very clear. All I know is that in the whole year of last year, the tax revenue of the entire marginal province directly increased by almost 300%. ”

As soon as this number came out, everyone in the whole side hall immediately made a noise! Everyone looked at Ariel sitting there with shocked and unbelievable eyes. It was also at this time that even those who would no longer be at the helm immediately understood the real idea of the new emperor.

It doesn’t matter whether the emperor covets the beauty of his brother’s mistress, or really appreciates her talents, or whether the Emperor just uses such a woman as a white glove to manipulate (harmony) behind his back. The only important thing is that the emperor’s goal seems to be this emerging thing – element machine!

“Your majesty! That’s a demon prop! A bad word — ”

Of course, elder majike was aware of the problem and immediately wanted to speak, but the fierce wave quickly raised his hand to block him and said to the economic minister: “the effect of the element machine is indeed remarkable! If we let the element machine enter the capital and then arrange the land and construction, we should need a lot of money. But the money is sure to come back soon. HMM… well, starting tomorrow, I will set up a new element department. I will appoint someone as the minister, and then take charge of the element machines in the whole empire, so as to spread the machines made with element machines as soon as possible! ”

The elder of the magic association was really anxious now. He even got up directly from his sofa and said, “your majesty! Element opportunity explosion can happen anyway! Even if there is no explosion in the past year, no one can guarantee that there will be no explosion in the next time! Those things haven’t gone through strict safety inspection at all! Unlike magic, every magic created needs to be reviewed and investigated by many other magicians to ensure that there is no unknown danger. But that demon machine is not like this! ”

Elder Majik’s voice seemed sharp and noisy. Such noise made fierce waves frown a little.

Seeing this, the priestly priest beside him quickly stretched out his hand and pulled him back to his seat, shaking his head gently at him.

Seeing the Holy See, Meng Lang smiled and said, “besides, the magic association, ah. As for you, you should have made a lot of money last year? Of course, I don’t object to you making money. Making money is right for anyone. Besides, your method of making money is so fast that I feel itchy. In addition to the element machine, you can also teach our economic ministers to see what policies can be made to use your method to make money. Ah, I’m serious! I’m not kidding. ”

Majick’s mouth twitched slightly and could only nod.

Meng Lang closed his hand and said with a smile: “but besides ~ ~ ~ since you can make money, now all aspects of the Empire are short of funds and need to be filled. In this way, your share of funds for the next year will be reduced by 25% each. ”

Elder majike was stunned and his face turned red for a moment! But in front of so many people, he was pressed by the priestly priest next to him, which didn’t happen.

Seeing that the priestly priest was so tolerant, the fierce wave couldn’t help thinking that the Holy See couldn’t even do so little things in the past ten days. It had to rely on its own non staff personnel to solve the problem perfectly. For a moment, he was angry, and then smiled and said, “ah, yes, prest. The income of Guangming Holy See should also be good? The number of believers is so large that they give a lot every day? ”

At this moment, it was puliste’s turn, and the whole man began to tremble a little: “Your Majesty…?”

“I think you should cut it by 10 percent first.”

“This… This! Well… Yes, it’s a pleasure, your majesty… ”

Seeing that the high priest could not jump out, menglang had a little confidence in his suppression. However, in order to avoid future trouble, he added, “I think the money saved by your two families should be diverted to the element department at that time. However, you also have the obligation to supervise the element department. If there is anything wrong with the element department, you will be responsible for the aftermath. At that time, it’s up to you to test whether the element machine is a qualified tool. If those things still can’t replace magic and even cause great damage, then you’ll consider the problem of funds. ”

Hearing this, Ariel understood.

The emperor completely regarded the element machine as a crowbar to weaken the Holy See and the association! In turn, let the two old men transfer all their hatred to the element machine, so as to get rid of their responsibilities!

But whether this approach can work depends on the next action. However, the cause of the disaster has finally stood up.

Sure enough, as soon as the elders and priests over there heard that they still had the right to supervise, their dissatisfaction immediately weakened a little, and they turned their heads and stared at Ariel here.

“Ah, and then… It’s the question about being an ambassador to the constellation of the hunter that I said before.”

The emperor leaned back on his seat. With one hand, he picked a grape from the table and put it into his mouth. With the other hand, he gently squeezed the letter in his pocket and said slowly——

“To tell you the truth, I was going to let Garcia go.”

People’s eyes once again focused on Ariel here.

“As you can see, although Garcia is a woman, hunter is also a queen. I think it’s not a good thing for gentlemen to salute the queen of a hostile country after all? So I secretly decided it was Garcia. ”

“But later, I think it makes sense to be conservative. Anyway, Garcia was also a maid. If you go to hunter as a special envoy from such a background, it is likely that hunter will think that we are humiliating each other and directly kill the envoy to break with us. ”

“So I’d like to ask your opinions. At the same time, I also want to know what kind of person you are willing to recommend to be sent to hunter? ”

The emperor’s words are already obvious. It is obvious that he wants to finalize the identity of the messenger at today’s party!

As for why he suddenly became so anxious… Ariel estimated that there should be a great connection with the letter he just received.

“Your Majesty.”

Prince Jinguo touched his wrist slightly and said slowly——

“I have always advocated not to make peace with that disgusting country. As long as we continue to expand our army and let me lead the team, I believe we can easily wipe out this evil neighbor! From then on, we will never have such trouble again! ”

The Duke’s daughter is the wife of his own brother, and the daughter of a baron who lives in his house is now his Majesty’s wife and queen!

Therefore, what he said has enough power. It’s difficult for others to have any other opinions. I’m afraid there’s only agreement left

Ariel breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, don’t let her go to hunter, so whatever.

“Your Majesty, I think it’s a good idea for Baron Garcia to continue his mission.”

But at this time, the priestly priest, who had hardly spoken since the beginning, opened his mouth.

This sentence surprised Ariel, who was already relieved to get through this garbage time, and Connor, who was just sitting there as a companion!

Majick also turned his head and looked at the former enemy, looking a little confused.

The high priest continued: “the entanglement between us and hunter has lasted for almost decades. I believe both we and the other party know that it is impossible to completely defeat our opponent in a short time. In this case, it is necessary to find a compromise between each other. In this case, sending ambassadors to negotiate is obviously a necessary choice. ”

“Just as your majesty just said, the hunter is now a queen in power. Whether the queen is in vain or really in power, if we send male envoys, if we have an advantage in the confrontation with each other, we will inevitably be marked by later historians as insulting ladies and not decent enough. If the other party’s Queen’s ruling is just a name and secretly instructed, it is likely to become an excuse for the other party to launch another war against us and encourage the hunter’s soldiers and people to continue to persecute us. ”

“But if our messengers are at a disadvantage in the process of confrontation, they will certainly be labeled as a waste image inferior to women. In addition to increasing humiliation, it will only make Hunter look down on our blue bay. ”

“Therefore, in order to avoid such a dilemma, it is obviously the best solution for us to send a female ambassador. Now, looking at China, I’m afraid there are few women in the blue bay Empire who can match the eloquence of the Baron Garcia. ”

The fierce wave supported his chin and waited silently for the high priest to finish. Then he waved his hand and said, “I know and understand these words. I believe everyone here will have no doubt about the ability of Baron Garcia. But you still didn’t answer my previous question. The identity of Garcia Baron is really not qualified. What can I do? ”

The high priest smiled slightly and said, “Your Majesty, the birth of Baron Garcia is really low. In that case, I am here to give your majesty a suggestion. ”

He turned his head, glanced at Ariel from the corner of his eye, and continued——

“The Baron’s status is really a little low. It is hard not to doubt that it is indeed an insult to go to see the queen of a country in such an identity. If so… Let your majesty promote Baron Garcia one more level without adding. In this way, it should offset the inferiority of her birth? ”

Hearing this sentence, Meng Lang’s eyes, which had seemed a little confused, suddenly brightened up! He clapped his hand, nodded and said with a smile, “yes! Ariel, you are now a baron, which is really too cheap. How about I raise your title one more level? In that case, would you like to go to the hunter Empire? “
