Chapter 348 Timeline Leaping Technique
After dealing with the affairs of the Unohana family, Arthur found time to meet Toshiro Hitsugaya again!
This Hitsugaya Toshiro is completely different from the one in his memory!
The one in my memory, who has always been called a genius boy, always shows a calm and calm look in front of outsiders!
And this Hitsugaya Toshiro, perhaps because he has been ill before and rarely sees outsiders, his appearance in front of Arthur always makes people feel a little timid!
Of course, both have similarities.

That means he is quite serious, and judging from the eyes he secretly looked at Arthur with all his bare eyes, he also has excellent observation skills.

In general, Arthur is very satisfied with Toshirō Hitsugaya!

As for his timid appearance, Arthur felt that as long as he could get in touch with people more and go out and walk around more, it should be fine! ——
St. Martin's Palace Study.

"This year's total national revenue is 190 billion St. Maarten coins, an increase of more than 300% compared to last year!"

"Among them, military expenditures, including military wages, ordnance production, military logistics, military welfare, etc. add up to about 40 billion St. Maarten coins, which has tripled compared to last year!"

"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 45 billion St. Martin coins, which is a full three-fold increase from last year!"

"."

"The royal family's income is 19% of the country's total income, which is 330 billion St. Martin coins!"

"To sum up, this year's total expenditure is 170 billion St. Maarten coins, with a surplus of 3000 billion St. Maarten coins. Adding the surplus from previous years, the remaining money in the treasury is 20 billion St. Maarten coins , and there are 300 billion Bailey reserves!"

Arthur murmured, writing down this year's financial statement!

From this year's financial statement, he can see a lot of things!
For example, although the kingdom's annual income this year has only increased by [-]% compared to last year, not as much as the [-]% increase last year, but after careful calculation, it can be seen that the actual increase is more than last year!
If we count the previous year, last year, and this year together, the previous year’s income was taken as the base, and last year’s increase was 200%, that is, last year’s income was [-], and this year’s increase was more than [-]%. In other words, this year's income is six!

One, three, six, compare the three, and it will be clear at a glance!

In the same way, although this year's military expenditure has only doubled, it is a little more than three times last year!
This year, the Second Army of the Army was established, and the refitting, wages, benefits, etc. are a lot of money. In addition, the construction of the Navy's Second Fleet, which is under preparation, requires a lot of new ships. It's not a small amount of money, and when it's added up, a [-]% increase is pretty normal!
Simply put, most of the several kingdoms dealt with this year are based on brains, and the losses are very small, otherwise the military expenditure this year is estimated to be even higher!
The biggest increase this year is undoubtedly the Ministry of Industry!

It tripled last year and tripled this year!
The reason for such a large increase, in addition to the normal construction of bridges and roads and digging subways after the expansion of the site, the main reason is the expenditure on scientific research!

This year, whether it's the doctors dug from the Magnetic Drum Kingdom or the biological data from the Tik Kingdom, it's all about scientific research. Therefore, this year's scientific research expenditure has skyrocketed, bringing up the expenditure increase of the entire Ministry of Industry in one fell swoop!
"call--"

After reading it, Arthur took a deep breath, put down the financial statement in his hand, and showed a satisfied expression!
In general, the development of the Kingdom of St. Maarten this year is quite in line with his expectations.

"This year's goals have basically been achieved, so we must work hard to achieve the goals next year!" Arthur murmured with a smile after expressing emotion, "However, let's prepare for the New Year first, this year the number of family members has increased a lot what!"

The night of NO.30 in December [-] of the Haiyuan calendar.

Inside the San Martin Palace.

A long oval table was placed in the center of the hall, and this table was filled with all kinds of exquisite dishes!

In addition to the rare delicacies, there are hot pots, dumplings, glutinous rice balls, rice cakes, wontons, long noodles, fish, etc., which are necessary for Arthur’s past life for the Chinese New Year.

At this time, all Arthur's family members were gathered around this long table, having a reunion dinner in full swing!
Compared with previous years, their family has added a lot of people this year, Lucia, Deanne, Unohana, Unohana Yachiryu, Perona, and LeBlanc and Shameless who insisted on staying in the palace. Miss Stone Jing who has been marinated thoroughly.

In addition, Arthur also called Yamamoto Motoyanagi Shigekuni and Unohana Kidomaru. It can be said that the number of Arthur's family this year has nearly doubled compared to previous years!

"Come and eat this!"

"Mom, I want to eat that!"

"Dad, I want to eat that, give me a pinch!"

"Come on, father, you try this!"

"Brother Arthur, ah—"

The family enjoyed the reunion dinner in a harmonious atmosphere.

And this meal lasted for several hours, until the time came to eleven o'clock, everyone put down their chopsticks, went back to their rooms at the same time, and tidied up their clothes!

Until 55:[-], the family gathered again on the palace wall of St. Martin's Palace!
"Dad, when will it start?" Artoria asked Arthur in a childish voice.

Arthur smiled and said to Arturia who was held in his arms, "Baby, it will start right away, and it will be here in 5 minutes!"

"There are still 5 minutes? But I want to watch it now!" Artoria pouted and said a little unhappy.

"Then we'll be optimistic now!" Arthur said, rubbing her head.

"Really?" Arturia asked in surprise.

"real!"

After Arthur nodded with a smile, he stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

The sound of snapping fingers was not loud, but it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, the next moment!
"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

Fireworks burst into the sky, piercing the night sky.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

And when they flew to a certain level, they all exploded one by one, exploding colorful and splendid fireworks in the dark night sky, and these fireworks also illuminated the entire city of St. The colors are so colorful, it looks like a fairyland on earth!

Watching this scene, Arthur looked into the distance and murmured, "The new year is here!"

As if yesterday reappeared, Arthur standing on the tower looked into the distance, looked at the splendid fireworks, and murmured, "The new year is here!"
