Struggle to build a country in the world of pirates

After the Ministry of Industry spoke, the Minister of Rites, Polly Jane (female) stood up and spoke: "I am mainly responsible for education. The population has grown rapidly in recent years, and the Royal College is no longer enough, so three more universities have been established. , respectively in Bocheng, Yancheng, and Huacheng in the south. Education on local islands still invites famous local gentlemen to provide basic teaching. Professional and technical schools are held in nearby major cities, and universities are more professional and academic. , scientific and artistic research and further education, professors and teachers are also hired with experienced and knowledgeable personnel.”

Lei Luo said: "The significance of education itself is to improve the quality of the people and build the motherland better, so we also need to add a lesson of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, education from an early age, and strengthened ideological education courses. The Ministry of Rites has also begun to subdivide it into education The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will discuss it with the ministers after the meeting."

The Minister of Rites said yes, and then the Minister of Finance, Lynn Henry, stood up and said with a smile: "After everyone's unremitting efforts in the past few years, our country has finally become rich, with annual tax revenue exceeding the trillion mark, and Villages in other countries have submitted 1.2 trillion yuan in protection fees. Banks, insurance, and national industries have earned nearly 2.8 trillion yuan in profit. Of course, the expenses are also quite large. All departments have invested, with the Ministry of Industry and the military being the most important. Now go out. In terms of spending, last year’s net savings were 1.6 trillion beli.”

After hearing this, everyone was talking quietly below. They all knew that they were rich, but they didn't know that they were so rich. Various departments were getting ready to make some moves. It seems that they will expand their budgets next year.

Lei Luo also smiled and said: "This is a good thing. Now that you have money, everyone's treatment will be improved, especially the army. There has been no adjustment in the past five years. Then show me the army's expenses and I will reformulate it. The treatment of soldiers and officers. The other two ministers will consult with the other five ministries to improve the treatment and welfare of our cadres. It cannot be said that ordinary people have become rich and it has suffered for our own people, right?"

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere at the venue suddenly became more joyful.

At this time, a man stood up and broke the happy atmosphere, Ministry of War——(Deputy Minister) Oliver.

Oliver smiled and said: "Your Highness, as the deputy minister of the Ministry of War, I should share your worries for Your Highness. Leave it to me to increase the salary budget!"

After saying this, the venue became quiet again, and even breathing could be heard. Lei Luo also looked up at his father's uncle.

This man is in his thirties, of medium height, with a fat head and big ears, a beard, and is wearing a black dress.

Lei Luo looked a little cold at this time, staring at Oliver without saying a word, which made Oliver a little nervous. After a while, Lei Luo said: "You are the princess's brother, that is, my father's uncle. Logically speaking, you should be my elder, but this is a national meeting. How did you choose your deputy minister of war? ?”

Oliver adjusted himself and said: "Back to Your Highness, I have gone on adventures at sea before, and I have also fought against pirates. I have some experience in management. When Your Highness went to sea, there was no chief officer in the army, so His Majesty the King ordered me to temporarily act as deputy. "

"My army cannot be managed by anyone. Without absolute strength, it is impossible to manage the unruly generals. If you have absolute strength, you can be on par with the generals around me. I can handle your previous mistakes." How about letting bygones be bygones, and you can continue to be the deputy minister, Mr. Oliver." Lei Luo said playfully.

Oliver was covered in cold sweat, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I know very well that I can't fight against the general."

"I mentioned that the squadron leader who made the mistake was promoted through your relationship? I never leave military affairs to others, because I am afraid that if someone does not handle it well, it will fundamentally undermine the stability of the country. Everyone We all know what the prosperity and peace in front of us are based on.”

"It is a strong military strength. We have no territory to seize and no population to seize. We are afraid of pirates on the sea and will run away when they see the flag of Hanas. Only then will other countries and regions be willing to pay us money." , not even the world government dares to offend us easily."

"So, I will never allow incompetent people to get involved in the army, understand?" After saying this, his domineering look began to show.

Oliver nodded hurriedly, and Lei Luo began to change his smile: "Deputy Minister Oliver, voluntarily resigns from his post. The best thing is that I will no longer pursue the previous matters. After that, my father, the princess, and the princess will go to sea." , when visiting countries around the East China Sea, you will be responsible for accompanying him, and you will be responsible for safety."

Oliver bowed and thanked him as if he had been given a new lease of life.

Lei Luo said: "In the military, while the salary is improved, the assessment cannot be relaxed, instructor George."

George stood up, saluted, and said, "Subordinate, here."

"During my absence, all those who are promoted, whether they are sergeants, lieutenants, or school officers, must go back to school for assessment. Those who pass the assessment will continue to serve. Those who fail will have to find out the situation and deal with it seriously."

George: "Yes, Your Highness."

Lei Luo: "In the future, I will reform the existing military system, and everyone's positions will also be readjusted. Meiya, notify Hanas mainland, and all cadres above lieutenant officer will hold a meeting in the conference room in three days."

Meiya: "Yes!"

"Commander Bryant, you are my father's old subordinate. This time my father goes to sea for a visit, I have troubled you to organize the escort."

Bryant replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will protect His Majesty the King and Princess Chris to the death."

"Okay, it's nothing. Let's adjourn the meeting. We can discuss the details later. It's up to you."

Then Lei Luo left and returned to his office, accompanied by three beauties, Meiya, Nancy, and Amy. Lei Luo said to Meiya: "Meiya, take out all the devil fruits we have and sort them out. "

Although Lei Luo has devil fruits in the exchange office, no one has enough points to redeem them after so many years. The points obtained are basically enough for promotion and training.

Lei Luo looked at the Devil Fruits that Meiya took out, including the [Ancient Giant Crocodile], [Retrograde Fruit], [Swamp Fruit], [Cement Fruit], [Grizzly Bear Fruit], and four unknown Devil Fruits.

This time I got [Animal-type Cheetah Fruit], [Animal-type Jackal Fruit], [Superman-type Bubble Fruit], [Animal-type Phantom Beast Species - Black Turtle Fruit] in the Grand Line (unknown to be determined)

Lei Luo looked at these Devil Fruits and was worried about how to distribute them. He took out the [Regression Fruit] and [Superman Bubble Fruit] and said to the three girls: "You three are all people around me, but the time is different. , Meiya, you are the first to follow me, these two Devil Fruits are very suitable for women, do you want to eat them?"

Meiya hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, do you know what abilities they have, how should I choose?"

"[Superman Regression Fruit] can make people and animals go back in time. It can be said to be a time-type Superman fruit. It is very rare. It can make people rejuvenate and directly turn into babies. However, it is unknown whether it is permanent. You need to develop it yourself. .”

"[Superman Bubble Fruit] can produce bubbles, bubbles and other attack methods, which can make women's skin smoother, and their abilities can also be developed more."

Not only Meiya is a little moved, but even Amy and Nancy want it, but they know that they have only been with His Highness for a short time, and His Highness doesn't fully trust them yet, and they are embarrassed to ask for it.

Meiya thought about it for a while, but was still confused. The two fruits had their own merits, and finally decided to choose the [Superman Retrograde Fruit], which could complement each other with her sister's [Growth Fruit].

Meiya ate the devil fruit. The taste was really special and the texture was astringent. Meiya ate the whole fruit.
