King’s Kingdom - Chapter 305
Tambadri irritably held a glass of light wine and looked at the official document in front of him, which showed the mobilization of food and grass materials. Obviously, if his brows were so tightly wrinkled, the situation must not be optimistic.
One of his courtiers lowered his head tremblingly, not even daring to utter a breath. His majesty the king has become more and more brutal recently.
“You mean, the food mobilized now will only be enough for my army for two months?” Tambadri slapped the papyrus on the table with his eyes wide open.
“Yes…Yes, Your Majesty, I am very sorry…” The court official grimaced, and did not dare to look up at His Majesty the Emperor. He was full of fear for his monarch.
“Rice bucket! Waste! What are you all doing!” Tumbadri shouted angrily: “I pay you salary, but you use these things to perfunctory me! Two months! Two months is enough for what? You shameless rats! Did you steal all my food!”
Although Tambadri knew that the grain reserves in the warehouse had been reduced due to the famine last year, he never imagined that there would be such a shortage of grain.
Even if the army of more than 30,000 people is indeed not a small number, the warehouse has the grain of the past few years, and the warehouse of Carduoling also has a lot of grain reserves. It is not a problem for people to eat for a year.
But now it is only enough to feed 30,000 people for two months. Even an idiot knows how much difference there is.
“Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. We did not transfer the food received by Cardo, so it was not included in the calculation. We only calculated the number of food stored in the warehouse in the imperial capital and the food transferred from the south within two months. quantity!”
“Even if there is no food from Cardo, it can’t be enough for a month. There must be something wrong!” Tambadri pointed at the courtier with gnashing teeth, and said angrily.
“Your Majesty, I don’t know this, and you know that I’m not responsible for the management of the warehouse…”
“Of course I know! Of course I know! Do you think I’m an idiot? Get off the ground and let them tell me!” Tambadri suddenly threw the glass out, fell to the ground and shattered, the courtier was frightened With a shudder, he had to stand up respectfully and walked out of Tambadri’s study.
“Please explain to me why there is only so much grain left in my warehouse!” Tambadri stared wide, his nose turning red with anger.
The courtier was also terrified in the face of Tambadri’s questioning, and hurriedly fell to his knees on the ground, accidentally knocking down the fragments of the wine glass with his hands, causing him to feel a sharp pain, but he did not dare to make any sound.
“Your Majesty! I came with you! Before I took over those warehouses, there was nothing in them, and now there is still some food that I have faithfully saved for you and collected from those scumbags! “The court official said with an aggrieved look.
“You mean, this question has nothing to do with you, I have to ask someone else?” Tambadri frowned and said uncertainly. In all fairness, he trusted himself, this close minister from Cardo tie. of.
“Yes, Your Majesty, I have always been loyal to you, how could I do something unfavorable to you?” The close minister spread his hands and said sincerely.
Looking at this close minister who has followed him for many years, Tambadri also sighed. Over the years, he has been conscientious in his work and brought a lot of help to his career. Seeing that his hands are already dripping with blood , his tone was also softer.
“Give me a good job in the future! Just go down!” Tambadri waved his hand and said.
The close minister hurriedly bowed and saluted, then left the study.
After exiting the door of the study, the previous court minister hurriedly came up and asked nervously, “How is it? Is there any accident? He won’t find anything, will he?”
“Don’t worry, our majesty won’t find out! He already believes in me, after all, I’ve been with him for more than ten years! Who else can he trust if he doesn’t believe me?” said the close official proudly.
“That’s right, it’s up to you to make our fortune in the future!” Court Chen bowed down humbly and said flatteringly.
At this time, the imperial capital was already in chaos. Before that, those soldiers could only live outside the city, but more were scattered in various parts of the northern empire to clean up those pervasive monsters.
Now that the war is imminent, these people are naturally recruited back, and because of the war, Tambadri has to find a way to boost morale, so they have a leisure vacation before the war.
What to do if you have nothing to do when you are idle, then naturally you are hanging out in the imperial capital, and their military salaries are not too high, but the consumption in the imperial capital is quite high, and their military salaries are simply not available. What, so I can only use the most skilled skills of soldiers in this cold weapon era.
“Master, you haven’t given the money yet!” In the dimly lit tavern, there was only a little spark from the faint candlelight. The boss here nervously walked to the side of a group of soldiers who wanted to leave, rubbed his hands together and said.
“Money? For what?” A drunken soldier roughly pushed the tavern owner away, pulled out a long sword and put it on the owner’s nose, and said fiercely, “I’m giving my life to fight those monsters and protect the You guys didn’t ask you for money when you were in the bucket, what the **** are you qualified to ask me for money? Ah!”
“But… but Your Majesty won’t give you… a salary…”
Before the tavern owner could finish his sentence~www.mtlnovel.com~ the soldier gave out the long sword in his hand, and saw that the tavern owner’s neck was sprayed with heat like a fountain in an instant.
The tavern owner never thought that these soldiers would actually dare to kill people. He could only hold his neck tightly with his hands, hoping to prevent the blood from flowing out.
“Ho…” The tavern owner fell to the ground weakly, staring at the group of soldiers in a daze, his body gradually lost its temperature and fell on the ground motionless.
“what!”
“Murder!”
There was an uproar in the tavern, and no one thought that a simple drink could kill people. Everyone fled in panic, for fear that they would become the next target.
Seeing that the owner of the tavern was killed by himself, the soldier instantly woke up. He looked at his blood-filled hand in a panic, and then looked at the other comrades around him. He hurriedly retracted his long sword and quickly escaped from the tavern.
“How can this happen, how can this happen!” The soldier shouted frantically in his heart, he felt that he was afraid that he was going to be in a bad way.
