Above the Pirate King

Chapter 122 Position Transfer (Fifth Change)

Dawn breaks.

Kingdom of St. Martin, the palace hall!

Arthur sat on the throne.

"See His Majesty the King!" All the ministers knelt on one knee.

"Excuse me!" Arthur waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers stood up.

"What's the matter today?" Arthur said lightly.

"Report to Your Majesty, this year's financial report is out!" Ishihara Qiansaburo took a step forward, walked out of the crowd, and bowed to report.

"Is another year almost over?" Arthur sighed in his heart. Compared with previous years, the entire Kingdom of St. Martin has changed unbelievably.

"Say it!" Arthur said in a deep voice.

"Yes! Your Majesty." Ishihara Qiansaburo nodded, and said seriously: "This year's total national income is 93 billion St. Martin coins! Compared with last year, it has increased by more than 300%!"

"Among them, military expenditures include military wages, ordnance production, military logistics, military benefits, etc., which add up to about 20 billion St. Martin coins!"

Military expenditures have increased three times faster than last year. The main reason is that this year's large-scale refitting of the army and the establishment of the navy have caused these expenditures to skyrocket!
At present, the first army of the kingdom has been fully recruited, and the establishment of the second army is already under preparation, and all the warships of the navy's first fleet have also been built, and the ships of the navy's second fleet are being prepared.

"The expenditure of the Ministry of Industry, including infrastructure construction in various places, road repairs, and scientific research expenditures of the Academy of Sciences, etc., is about 15 billion St. Martin coins!"

With Meck's joining, the Kingdom has invested a lot of money in scientific research in order to study more things.

"The royal family's income is 530% of the country's total income, which is [-] million St. Martin coins!"

"To sum up, this year's total expenditure is 85 billion St. Maarten coins, with a surplus of 3000 million St. Maarten coins. Adding the surplus from previous years, the remaining money in the treasury is 300 billion St. Maarten coins , and there are 23 billion Bailey reserves!"

Although the surplus has increased, and the income of Blood Harbor Town is [-]%, the remaining money is less. The main reason is that Arthur recruited workers and talents after recruiting. After recruiting these people, factories and houses will be built. , to arrange everything for them, which cost ten tenths.

After all, more than 30 people have been recruited, which is not a small number. The cost of arranging for one person is not too much, but if multiplied by more than 30 times, it will be unbelievably large!
Now the kingdom's population has reached more than 83. Without the expansion of the territory, the current population is close to the limit that the kingdom can afford. If there is any more, it will be a drag on the development of the kingdom.

And the recruitment notice for recruiting workers has also been withdrawn, and now only the recruitment of talents is left. Naturally, more talents are better, and it is impossible to withdraw them in the future.

"En, good!" Arthur nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and let Ishihara Qiansaburo return to his seat.

Although the remaining money is less, the development of the country is still visible. Money is what is spent, and what is not spent is just waste paper.

"Then, I will announce some new job adjustments. If you have any objections or doubts, you can raise them and we will discuss them on the spot!" Arthur said seriously.

Hearing this, all the ministers concentrated and listened attentively.

"First, cancel the original position of Minister of Military Affairs and replace it with Minister of War and Minister of Navy!"

As soon as Arthur finished speaking, Ishihara Kensaburo frowned, walked out, and asked, "Your Majesty, what about the original military minister Shigekuni Yamamoto?"

"Yamamoto Shigekuni's position has been changed to the captain of the Gotei [-]th Team!" Arthur said in a deep voice.

"Gotei Thirteen Team?" Ishihara Kensaburo looked at Arthur in confusion.

"Yes, the Thirteenth Guarding Team!" Arthur thought for a while and explained, "The Thirteenth Guarding Team is a secret army newly formed by the kingdom. It is mainly responsible for the security of an important place. It will only be dispatched during the war!"

He can only explain it this way, you can't say that you can see the Goutei [-]th team after you die, right?
Doesn't that mean that Shigekuni Yamamoto is dead?
Well, although he is really dead, it seems that it is not good to say so!

"En!" Ishihara Qiansaburo nodded and returned to his seat. Although he was still a little puzzled, he kept it in his heart and asked Arthur when he stepped back. After all, he belonged to Arthur. Father-in-law, Arthur will explain this to him.

"Okay, if there's nothing wrong with it, then I'll continue?" Arthur scanned the hall, but no one raised any objections, so he continued,

"Bruce, the former commander of the First Army of the Army, was promoted to Minister of the Army, commanding the entire army. Joyce, the former commander of the First Division of the Army, was promoted to the commander of the First Army, the former First Army Corps"

"The former Commander of the First Fleet of the Navy, Rileys, was promoted to Minister of the Navy, commanding the entire Navy. Kenwa Uesugi, the former Commander of the First Division of the Navy, was promoted to Commander of the First Fleet, the First Regiment of the First Division of the Former First Fleet of the Navy. "

After finishing speaking, Arthur slowed down and took a closer look at the people in the hall. No one raised any objections, so he continued, "Next is the former captain of the Sky Island Security Team, Gan Foer, who was promoted to The Minister of Public Security, the former deputy captain of the Sky Island Security Team, Patton, has been promoted to the captain of the Sky Island Security Team!"

After Sky Island was subdued, the original god, Gamfur, and Chief Barton of Sandia served as the principal and deputy captains of the Sky Island Security Team respectively.

Originally, Barton was supposed to be the captain, but he refused and insisted on letting Ganfur take the role, so Ganfur became the captain.

The security team bears the responsibility of the police in the Kingdom, but there have always been security teams in various places, such as St. Maarten Island has a security team in St. Maarten Island, and Blood Harbor Town has a security team in Blood Harbor Town. They do not belong to each other. .

Now, Arthur appoints Gan Fall as the Minister of Public Security, which is to command all the security teams in the kingdom!

There is also a reason for choosing Gan Foer. The security team is undoubtedly the official who has the most contact with the civilians. In addition to maintaining law and order and arresting criminals, they are also responsible for reconciling conflicts among civilians.

For this reason, it is necessary to choose a person who has certain strength, has a sense of responsibility, and handles things fairly and justly. Gan Foer is undoubtedly the best choice.

Gan Fore, who came to the St. Martin Kingdom's meeting for the first time, froze in place after hearing Arthur's words. He really didn't expect that he would be promoted to be the Minister of Public Security.

After all, in terms of merit, Patton is the best candidate to become Minister of Public Security. If he becomes Minister of Public Security, what does Patton think?
He immediately stood up and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, please take back your order. How can I take on such a heavy responsibility?"

"Hehe!" Arthur smiled and said, "Do you think Barton will be angry if you become Minister of Public Security? Don't worry, I have carefully asked Barton's opinion before the appointment. Sky Island, protect your tribe! He also recommended you to me!"

"This..." Gan Fall was momentarily at a loss for words. He didn't expect that it was Barton who recommended him.

"This king asks you, do you have the confidence to be the Minister of Public Security?" Arthur stared at Ganfur and asked in a deep voice.

"This minister, have confidence!" In the end Ganfur accepted the appointment.

Arthur still has confidence in Ganfur being the Minister of Security. After all, Ganfur was once a god, and later became the captain of the Sky Island Security Team. He has both experience and strength!
"Okay, the next thing is the Kingdom's Procuratorate. The former Kingdom's Chief Prosecutor retired three days ago, and the former Kingdom's Deputy Prosecutor Kazusuke Takahashi has been appointed as the Chief Prosecutor!"

The procuratorate is mainly responsible for the investigation and arrest of officials within the kingdom. When the kingdom develops rapidly, there will inevitably be some greedy and corrupt officials, and the procuratorate is to find out the existence of these officials.

"The former kingdom's chief judge died of illness a month ago, and now the former first-level judge of the kingdom, Pendragon Rafael, has been promoted to the chief judge!"

Next, Arthur announced a series of promotions and transfers for similar positions. After discussing with the ministers, the meeting did not end until the evening.

"Okay, that's the end of today's meeting. I have asked someone to prepare a dinner in the side hall. You should go back after eating!" Arthur said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers said respectfully in unison, and then they gathered together in twos and threes, and went to eat while discussing.

And Arthur also turned to leave.

At this moment, Ishihara Qiansaburo stopped him.

"Arthur, I have something to ask you!" Ishihara Kensaburo said with a frown.

Now the meeting was over, so he started calling Arthur by his first name.

Arthur knew what Ishihara Qiansaburo was going to ask, and it was nothing more than his grandfather's business, so he said with a smile: "Father-in-law, let's go to my study, it happens that we haven't had dinner together for a long time, I'll ask someone to pass over the whole hot pot , we talked while eating in the study!"

"En! Good!" Ishihara Qiansaburo nodded.

Soon, the two came to the study, and a boiling hot pot was placed in front of them.

Ishihara Kensaburo couldn't wait to ask: "Arthur, what's going on with the Gotei [-]th Team? Uncle Yamamoto, I haven't seen him for a while. How is he?"

Arthur unhurriedly picked up the sake on the side, poured a glass for Ishihara Sensaburo, and then slowly said: "The thing is like this."

Arthur carefully explained to Ishihara Kensaburo about Seireitei, Gotei [-]th Team, and Shigekuni Yamamoto.

After hearing this, Ishihara Kensaburo was stunned, but after a while, he suddenly woke up and said in disbelief: "So, Uncle Yamamoto is dead?"

"En!" Arthur nodded solemnly.

For a moment, Ishihara Qiansaburo was completely entangled. Like Arthur before, he didn't know what kind of emotion he should use to face this matter. If he was sad, his soul was still alive!If you are happy, the body is dead!
Arthur looked at the ever-changing expression on Ishihara Sensaburo's face, and didn't try to enlighten him, after all, Arthur himself was still struggling.

After a meal, Ishihara Qiansaburo ate absent-mindedly, really confused by these news.

After eating, Arthur sent Ishihara Sensaburo out of the palace, and gave him the life-prolonging potion by the way.

After all, Yamamoto Motoyanagi Shigekuni died, so he couldn't use it anymore, so he gave it to him.

After sending them off, Arthur looked at the moon in the sky and murmured: "After the Chinese New Year, the Three Kingdoms should also come to an end, let's get rid of them before going to the World Congress!"
