Cruz-Fernando was absent-minded by the huge round table in the royal conference room, looking at the magnificent chandelier on the ceiling, and listening to the Empire State Finance Minister Luke reading a big article about the Empire ’s tax revenue for the whole year last year, but he thought in his heart Lian Pian.

Cruz-Fernando was crowned at the age of twenty and became Fernando XIII in order, which is the tenth year so far. Over the years, the dynasty of the empire has been almost controlled by the Minister of Finance of the Empire, Luke, and the Minister of Government of the State, Chad. In many cases, he was just a symbol of a country.

This kind of day made it difficult for the ambitious Fernando XIII to accept. Fortunately, his father, Fernando XII, left General Orlando for him. Although this devout holy knight married Luke ’s eldest daughter, he did Loyal and loyal, and with the blessing of the **** of war and the trust of His Majesty, he became the supreme military chief of the imperial capital and commanded the most powerful army of the empire, the Royal Knights. This powerful cavalry force has not failed since its establishment two hundred years ago.

The Minister of Finance of the Empire, Luke, and the Minister of Government of the Empire, Chad, mutually restrained each other, and the head of the Royal Knights, Orlando, and the highest military chief of the imperial capital. The empire has been in a good mood for ten years. All were shot by Orlando.

But in the heart of the young Fernando XIII, he always held his breath. He claimed to be healthy, energetic, and had the time and ability to restore the glory of his ancestors, fulfilling Fernando ’s unfulfilled wish: "Conquer the orc tribe in the north To completely solve the orcs ’southward invasion; the south devoured the various lords and no longer allowed them to break up," so that the sacred alliance empire established by Fernando I became an empire that truly unified the entire continent.

So, after several years of preparation, Fernando XIII began a series of plans. First, he selected the strong people from the Royal Athletic Competition and reused them, and then let the Royal Academy secretly train himself for the needs of governing the country. Talents from all walks of life are slowly promoted and hired. At the end of last year, Fernando XIII seized the opportunity to use a disguised excuse to abolish the empire finance minister Luke, promote all the talents he trained in the past few years, and take over the empire tax collection. .

In the eyes of the young Fernando XIII, everything needs to be rich at the beginning, as long as you control the source of the economy, you can show your hand. He has even made a comprehensive and huge plan, ready to start one by one in the next few years, hoping that this plan can reach his wish within ten years.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Fernando XIII was distracted by his huge plan, and he felt his sleeves ruffled. He recovered and saw the royal magician Catherine Randy sitting beside him. Gently pulling on his sleeve, Fernando XIII looked at her with interrogative eyes, and heard Luke's slightly displeased voice say, "Your Majesty, you're gone!"

Fernando XIII's face was red. During this time, he was a bit smug. He often immersed himself in his beautiful design. There have been many such ecstasy.

"Master Luke, Your Majesty has been busy in government affairs these days, and you have some rest. Please forgive me." Catherine Randy, appointed by Fernando XIII as her magic advisor, whispered to Luke to resolve this embarrassment. atmosphere.

Luke frowned slightly, and then untied. Although he knew that Catherine Randy was only unraveling for Fernando XIII, he was facing the ruler of the empire after all. , Too heavy. So Luke picked up the wooden cup in front of him and took a sip of the water. In the huge plan of Fernando XIII's plan to save money, saving money is a very important part, including the fact that he can only drink clean water during the Royal Conference. .Mobile phone watch

Luke took a few seconds of rest by drinking water, and gave Fernando XIII time to adjust his mind, and then said: "Your Majesty, I just remembered the income situation last year. The tax in the imperial capital was 9 million the previous year. Last year it was 8 million; the previous year's sunrise city tax was 8 million, last year's 6 million; the previous year's Haifeng City's tax was 18 million, and last year's 15 million; the previous year, the total tax of the chambers of commerce and business alliances in the cities headed by Free Paradise in the south was 22 million, which was only 19 million last year. The tax revenue of lords around the world was 12 million the previous year. Last year it was, um, less than 1 million. Among them, Seck City had just recovered it without any taxes and an additional 350,000.

Luke didn't pronounce a set of numbers, and Fernando XIII's face was a lot greener. After Luke finished reading all the taxes of the empire last year, Fernando XIII asked in blunt words: "What was the total tax last year? ? "

Luke hesitated slightly, and read a number: "49 million."

"Damn it!" Fernando XIII stood up gaily, and slammed the table with his hands. "Luke! As an empire finance minister, how can you explain this thing? 49 million? This is not enough money The normal expenditure of the empire, what else to talk about 'conquer the orcs, integrate the south'? "

Luke closed his mouth tightly without answering. Chad, who was sitting on the side, didn't change his face, but he laughed in his heart. His old counterpart Luke was reprimanded by His Majesty face to face, which was always a happy thing. The royal magician Catherine Randy participated in such a meeting because of Fernando XIII's favor. She was very self-knowledge and basically could not listen from beginning to end. As for the dozen other officials present, the status of identity theory is not as good as that of Luke and Chad. When they saw the anger of His Majesty, they all buried their heads deeply, lest His Majesty suddenly get angry on himself.

Fernando XIII didn't care about other people's behavior. He fixed his eyes on Luke. He was even more annoyed to see Luke deal with himself with this uncooperative attitude. His shouts echoed in the empty royal meeting room: "It is 20 million fewer than the previous year, 20 million, enough to build another Royal Knights! What is going on? Ah, I understand , It must be corruption, damn, these greedy guys who ca n’t be killed, I will let people thoroughly investigate this matter! Luke, I know that many of your tax officials are not clean, you must give me an explanation! "

There was a flash of anger in Luke's eyes, but he was immediately suppressed by him. In the face of the supreme ruler of the empire, Luke's regenerative energy will also remain rational. Luke slowly stood up and adjusted his mood. After Luke stood up, he calmly said to the angry Fernando XIII: "If you want me to give you an account. , Please remove my post as the Minister of Finance of the Empire. As for the tax officers under my staff, maybe they are a little greedy, but I can guarantee that they will not corrupt more than one million at most every year. "

"Very good!" Fernando XIII gritted his teeth and pointed to Luke's nose. "Luke, you admit that you are corrupt, very good! Do you think I dare not kill you?"

"Your Majesty, as the supreme ruler of the empire, you can kill anyone you want to kill." Luke faced the accusation of Fernando XIII and calmly replied: "But I must remind you, first, I just I admit that I have embezzled corruption, not that I have embezzled myself; second, last year's taxes were not collected by me and my men. "

As soon as Luke's words fell, the entire royal meeting room was quiet. Even the furious Fernando XIII closed his mouth. That's right, it was this Fernando XIII who surrendered Luke last year and took away the power to collect taxes that were originally within the responsibility of the finance minister, which led to the current situation. No matter how unreasonable Fernando XIII is, there is no way to punish Luke with this matter.

"Anyway, the imperial tax has shrunk dramatically, and you, as the imperial finance minister, have an inescapable responsibility!" How could the young and victorious Fernando XIII be in front of his genius, the public admitted that his impatience caused this This kind of serious consequence, at the same time, he also had some anger in his heart. If Luke conceded himself and accepted his reprimand with humility, he satisfied Fernando XIII's vanity of power. Maybe this matter will be slowly remedied, but now Luke even hit himself with a low-key tone, so Fernando XIII said: "Now I announce that I will be removed from the position of Luke Empire Finance Minister, and I will take on the role of myself!"

"As you wish! Your Majesty." Luke calmly accepted the order of Fernando XIII. He did not change his face, slowly stood up, bowed slightly to Fernando XIII, and then said: "Follow you I will become a civilian now and have no right to appear in the Royal Conference Room. Please allow me to resign. "

After saying this, Luke took a deep look at Fernando XIII and turned and walked out.

Fernando XIII looked at Luke with a sullen face. He did not expect such an order. The other party could also accept it so calmly. In order to crack down on Luke, Fernando XIII turned his mind and added another command: "In view of the substantial reduction in imperial tax last year, from tomorrow, Victor will no longer be the Royal Chief Magician and no longer teach at the Royal Academy of Magic. Empire will give Victor a monthly subsidy of 250,000 gold coins and 150,000 magic materials. Subsidy cancellation! "

This sentence made Luke's body tremble slightly at the door. With the thrill of revenge, Fernando XIII raised his head high and looked at Luke from top to bottom. He even Hope to see Luke begging for his expression. But Luke just paused, did not look back, and continued to walk out of the royal meeting room.

Fernando XIII watched Luke walk out of the room, and then turned his attention to Chad, who was sitting at the round table. The latter looked at Fernando XIII with great respect. This action made Fernando XIII ’s vanity unprecedented. Satisfied, from now on, he expelled Luke, and thus used to conquer Chad. After that, the real rule of the entire empire will officially belong to him.

Fernando XIII looked around and said in a majestic voice: "Now, let's discuss how to deal with this financial crisis. I think ..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

There was no discussion and no objection. Fernando XIII made a series of plans as he wished, and the other personnel in the Royal Conference Room either buried their heads lower, or looked like Chad and showed them on his face. A respectful look.
