Chapter 951 The Girl's Past and the Dream Chaser
"Is this possible, Ms. Yossene? If he succeeds this time, he will definitely continue to follow the path of an alchemist, and he may never come back." After hearing this, Apolli frowned.
"Don't worry, little guy, the so-called nobleman your friend met doesn't understand the alchemy market at all. The alchemy products of the kingdom are basically concentrated in the central and southern cities, where there are enough alchemists and alchemy raw materials. Here in the king's city Nothing. If it is a small-scale alchemy studio, it can develop. The size of an alchemy workshop, well, the bigger it is, the more it will lose. Don't worry, little guy, it will take a few months In a short period of one and a half years, it will definitely not be able to last. At that time, if you try to persuade him, he will probably be able to calm down."
"That's it, um, what you said is indeed very reasonable. Thank you very much, oh, I should go, next time, I will come again~!" The girl stood up and said goodbye to Yossene and Jilin After a salute, he turned and left the hotel.
"What a silly girl, she's quite different from you." The hotel owner looked at the bartender, "Smart, alert, and polite. Speaking of which, don't you mention this junior?"
"Well, I used to be as kind and innocent as her... Tsk, I know you don't believe me!" Seeing Yoseni's expression of fooling me, Jilin said angrily, "She and I She is the shadow, I am the blade. However, with her crazy love, it is a pity not to be the blade."
It was evening, and Napoli Poliba was packing up the documents, planning to go to the bar to find his lover after the refund.However, the order from the palace made him have to go to face the saint.
In the palace, King Esser VI was talking with the minister of the monarchy, the minister of justice, and the newly appointed minister of finance——Raul von Uwenle Kasper, a veteran royal family nobleman.After a great purge, the king had to call in the long-retired man to reorganize the almost defunct treasury.
"Zimeduo, how is the investigation and interrogation of the traitors going? I remember you said that quite a lot of criminal evidence was found in their secret rooms and hidden vaults? The identification and arrangement of these evidences, How is it going?" The king first asked the Minister of Justice.
"Your Majesty, none of the thieves I captured was innocent. Most of them were bastards who deserved to be hanged. A few were scumbags who had to be punished with more cruel punishments. As for the evidence..." Qi Mo Duo hesitated, "Your Majesty, I still think this matter is fraudulent."
The Minister of Justice handed over several letters that the Minister of Justice was carrying to Sero, the servant, who handed them to the king.
"So many! En? Why, there is only one sender, but the recipients include most of the southern nobles and a small number of barbarians." The king took a rough look, and then motioned the minister to continue.
"Your Majesty, this is only a small amount of evidence for one of them. The evidence of other nobles is more complete than this. These moths have not only been uniting with the southern royal palace, but also entangled with those barbarians who have gradually become dangerous enemies. Unclear. The pickets found more than one piece of bloody property in their underground vault. Those were all from the hands of barbarians who plundered caravans and looted villages and towns. This group of people who should be destroyed even had a relationship with the North The demons are trading food!" The minister became more and more excited, for him, these people were no longer treason, but the heinous crime of betraying the entire human group!
"It's just that this investigation went too smoothly." Zimutuo calmed down, "Your Majesty, many of these documents and evidence are hidden in secret rooms or secret compartments. Normally, it will not be so fast. It was discovered, and may even be missed. However, in this search, the hidden doors found were basically destroyed and exposed, and a large number of hidden secret rooms were marked by some mentions, and even one secret room was directly marked with a red arrow Come out!"
"There is such a thing? No matter how stupid those villains are, they would not do such an unwise act. It must be done by someone else! Although my arrest is not secret, it is the fastest enough! Can be done in such a short time They must be very powerful and they are very familiar with the nobles in the royal city." Aesel VI was a little shocked, he thought it was just his subordinates who were able to do things well, only then did he know that there was a huge and secret He could not help being a little apprehensive, but also a little thankful that the infiltrated Ministry of Finance had not been wiped out in advance, and if the other party attacked first, the consequences would be serious.
"Your Majesty, I have shifted the focus of my work to this mysterious force. It's a pity that the investigation in this area has not been so smooth. I can only be sure that they are lurking again, and most of them may even have left the royal city. The subordinates found only a few abandoned strongholds. The few clues left there are not enough to support us to continue the investigation." Speaking of this matter, the Minister of Justice looked helpless. He felt that in this incident, he completely It was being led by the other side with a rope.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the training of the new monarch needs to be accelerated. At the same time, the defense of the kingdom between the north and the south must be stepped up. I feel that the moment of rebellion in the south may not be far away." Melancholy stepped forward to warn.
"Groni, what do you mean, the black hand behind the scenes exposed the black material of the south to the court, and wanted to completely force against the southern forces?" After a little thought, the king realized the terrifying conspiracy of the black hand.
"That's right, Your Majesty. Since the late King's Central Appointment Act was resisted by the idiots in the South, the late King V had no choice but to acquiesce in the actual independence of the South. For decades, the South has long been an independent country under the name of a kingdom." They only pay a small number of tax items, and secretly conduct a large amount of smuggling and illegal goods trading. The kingdom tolerated it before because there were infiltrations of southern nobles in the court, and at the same time, the demons in the north were also aggressive. At the same time, to resist the possible arrival of the demon king."
At this point, the minister of the monarchy sighed slightly, shook his head and said: "The northern central court, which is mainly supported by the royal palace, and the southern aristocratic faction who oppose the central court, the conflict between the two sides has been going on since the failure of the fifth emperor's reform. There is destined to be a decisive battle. Your Majesty, since you took the throne, you have always had the idea of taking the southern region back to the territory of the kingdom. It’s just that the time has not come yet, and now, it has reached the stage where we have to prepare for battle.”
"I have realized this matter. As the heir, I have the responsibility to eradicate the evil fruits planted by the previous king! Sir Casper, how is the reorganization of the Ministry of Finance?"
"Very bad, Your Majesty." The old man is 73 years old this year, and he has been working overtime for the past few days. He is too old to bear it.
"Your Majesty, the former Minister of Finance, that shameful traitor. He appointed a large number of moths in the south, and the accounts of the entire department were changed into a mess. A large amount of the kingdom's property was shared by these rats, and a large amount of private taxes were concealed by them. Carve up. Ah, thanks to the great help of Zimmerdo and his staff, it is finally sorted out now, and the young man of the Faris family is also very neat. You can consider letting him take my place in the future... "The old minister responded wearily, and gradually changed the subject.
"So, how is the state of the treasury now? Also, have you arranged for officials to store the reserves of the treasury and the grain depot? These few things are related to the future destiny of the kingdom!" King Esther VI had to fight Cut off the old man's self-talk and self-drawing, and asked about the most concerned things.
"Sorry, Your Majesty~" The old man who came back to his senses was a little embarrassed, and cleared his throat: "Here are two bad news to tell Your Majesty:
First, from the hands of various moths, the Kingdom confiscated about 20 quintals in total, and a small amount of gold coins from other countries, whose value is estimated to be [-] quintals.At the same time, there are still a large amount of real estate and other expensive properties, such as famous paintings and jewelry, which have not been estimated, and the total price is estimated to be no less than [-] quintals.Such a huge amount of assets brings about a serious problem, that is, it is difficult to use them directly in the short term. In that case, the current market will be quickly destroyed.
Second, a large amount of food that was corrupted by the Mexican state treasury was recovered, and the secret granary that the Ministry of Justice searched for was also full of smuggled food.What is more puzzling is that these basically come from the principality on the sea, tsk, the food in that place is not sufficient enough to be exported.Although in the short term, the people in the north, including the future kings, don't need to worry about food.However, I am very worried that once war breaks out and grain sales are banned in the south, it will be difficult for us to hold out for long. "
After hearing this, the king became even more anxious.Fortunately, at this time, the servant told him that the young monarch had arrived at the palace.
Naples entered the front hall and paid homage to King Ace VI.
"Excuse me, get up. Everyone, this is the new commander-in-chief of the royal city, Naples. You know the few people here, Groni, and the other two, one is the Minister of Justice, Zimmerdo, the other The first one is Baron Raul, currently acting as the Minister of Finance." The king briefly introduced the situation of the ministers present.
Finance Minister Raul looked at the young man for a while, and said in an appreciative tone: "Your Majesty, this is the young man from Sisko Island. Heh, he is indeed a good young man. No wonder Groni has always praised him. However, you let him Is it a bit inappropriate to be in charge of reorganizing the new monarch? I have seen his resume, and his performance is good, but, in the final analysis, he is only the commander of the artillery battalion. It is a bit too heavy to entrust him with such a big responsibility."
"This is a decision I made after discussing with Geroni. After all, after Lord Tiewei was annihilated, there are not many people available in the king. Except for those scum officers and soldiers infiltrated by the Southern faction, the others are either lack of ability or Too little seniority." The king looked helpless, "Originally, Gronny should be in charge of this matter, but the current court cannot do without him."
