Magic Industry Empire

Eric stared at the documents in his hand and his brow was locked.

After a long time, he was long sighed, put down the file, closed his eyes, pinched his nose and squeezed himself a little.

I have been reviewing the entire afternoon’s papers. In addition to having a restroom, he does not have any rest time. Naturally, he feels very tired.

Looking at the files that are still stacked on the table, Eric can’t help it.

Before he reached the throne, he had been imagining that if he really became the king of the kingdom, it must be something satisfying and pleasant.

But when he really got on the throne, he only had a good time in the first few days. After nearly half a year, he was always entangled in annoying work, and he couldn’t have been a little idle.

Too busy and stressful life made him involuntarily remember the time when he was a Prince.

At that time, he did not need to consider so many messy state affairs, he wanted to eat and eat, he wanted to sleep and slept, and he wanted to play how to play.

However, after becoming a king, because he was too busy, he not only slept badly, but even his meal was hard to squeeze out every day, and he was not free at all.

As for playing? Even when he was dreaming, he was reviewing the official documents!

Before he saw the busy appearance of his father’s review of the official document, he didn’t care much, but when he did it himself, he completely understood that being a king was really not a comfortable thing.

In fact, he is very clear that he always feels tired because he is not satisfied.

Why do you want to be a king? Of course it is because the king has the greatest power in this kingdom.

But after he became a king, he found that he did not have any strength control for the kingdom.

No matter what is said or the next order, no one will care, then what is the significance of this king?

“笃笃-“

The door was suddenly knocked, and before I opened the Eric, it was already pushed open, and an unusually familiar silhouette came in.

Looking at this, I always took an unusually steady pace. Every step seemed to be a middle-aged man accurately measured with a ruler. Slowly, Eric barely squeezed a smile.

“Duke Stark, is there something?”

Stark Earl bent over and bent, and it was a gift to Eric.

“Your Majesty, now to bother you, is for the military budget meeting to be held three days later.”

Stark Earl was calm, without a trace of undulation, and then heard Eric’s ears, but let his heart jerk.

After a long silence, Eric asked: “Duke Stark, do you have any comments on this?”

“Yes.” Duke Stark nodded. “I heard that His Majesty intends to raise the budget of the military this year, especially to raise the budget of the Northern Guard Regiment, is it?”

Eric frowned, thinking that he only slightly revealed the tone, this Duke Stark will find the door, really do not give yourself any space.

However, he only thinks about it in his heart. On the surface, he still maintains with a slight smile: “Well, I have this plan. According to the information, Sakk Kingdom seems to be moving again. In order to prevent the invasion of Sakk Kingdom, properly raise the army. The budget of the ministry is also necessary. And without any surprise, the fiscal revenue of the kingdom this year is still quite good, and adding some budgets should not be a problem.”

Stark Earl was slightly addicted and asked: “Your Majesty, have you ever thought about a very important question?”

“what is the problem?”

“A year after next year, your loan to many nobles in the kingdom will expire. If you don’t come out with this arrears, I am afraid you will lose a lot of important supporters.”

“Arrears?” Eric frowned.

This so-called arrears is actually the various inputs of the aristocrats in the kingdom who supported him before he boarded the throne.

Only the former guys called this a donation, and when he got on the throne, he immediately counted the donations as debt and asked Eric to repay the debt.

The ten Chamber of Commerce designated by the Magic Industry Management Agency are actually these guys standing behind.

Eric has always been watching the Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce. In this name, not only has the Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce been rectified, but it can also be used as a replacement for the arrears. For him, it is one move, two Gains.

And letting those technologies not only be in the hands of the Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce is also very beneficial to the entire kingdom.

So Eric has been indulging in the Magic Industry Management Agency’s various small moves for the Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce. The main purpose is to steal the benefits of the Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce.

But now the time is still short, and the impact of the 10 Chamber of Commerce on the market is still far less than the Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce, so there will be too much benefit from this one and a half. The arrears that the nobility said are still a very headache for Eric.

“But if the funds are repaid from the kingdom, the kingdom will be very nervous in all aspects next year.” Eric is quite helpless.

In the past six months since I was on the throne, Eric found that he is more like a businessman than a king.

Because every day, almost all the time, he is worrying about money, even for a gold coin a gold coin, a small amount of hair that he would not have been in mind before.

Only when he truly became a king did he understand how embarrassing the current Lanpali Kingdom is.

Although the overall financial revenue of Lanpali Kingdom has been in a sustained and substantial growth in the past two years, according to statistics, this year’s fiscal revenue may not break through 3 million gold coins.

If you put the money in a city, it’s pretty good, but if you put it in the country, it’s just a pity.

Do not say anything else, only military expenses.

Based on the financial statistics of Eric’s previous Commander Northern Guard Regiment and Sakk Kingdom, the average daily cost was between 50,000 and 70,000 gold coins.

The war with Sakk Kingdom lasted for less than a month and it took more than a million gold coins.

These battles are still not very fierce. If it is really a full-scale war, the military expenditure is only doubling.

Of course, in order to create a momentum for Eric, the aristocrats who supported him in the kingdom invested heavily in the Northern Guard Regiment, far more than the military expenses of the previous Northern Guard Regiment.

However, even in accordance with the previous military consuming standards of Northern Guard Regiment, at least one year in non-wartime, it is necessary to guarantee a military fee of more than a hundred thousand coins.

Coupled with the other armies in the kingdom, the military budget of the 300,000 gold coin in the previous year was simply stretched.

Eric personally went to the battlefield and saw the fierceness of the soldiers in Sakk Kingdom. It is natural to understand that the strength of the Northern Guard Regiment must be enhanced to ensure the safety of the Lanpali Kingdom.

But the problem is… money.

The Kingdom’s annual fiscal revenue is calculated according to three million gold coins, aside from the basic administrative expenses of one million gold coin, plus various preferential subsidies for the nobility, and it costs nearly one million gold coin.

With one million gold coins left, it is necessary to come up with some of the infrastructure used to build the kingdom.

For example, a few days ago, the Agriculture Department proposed to rectify some farmland in the Kingdom before Bunta City, and the initial cost is expected to be 200,000 gold coin.

Counting other messy things, there are no more gold coins left.

I want to squeeze out the military expenses of the lowest five hundred gold coin that Eric thinks, and ease said than done.

“Your Majesty, I understand your worries.” Seeing the embarrassing expression on Eric’s face, Duke Stark said with a slight smile: “It is certainly necessary to give priority to the kingdom’s military power. But you don’t really need to increase it. Is the military budget to increase military power?”

Eric said: “How can the military strength be improved without raising military expenses? I have stayed in the Northern Guard Regiment. I understand that if there is no money, the soldiers will not even have enough food, how can they have What combat power?”

“It’s true to say this. But your Majesty, have you ever thought that the military’s military expenses are limited and difficult to upgrade? Then instead of using a limited military expenditure to support a large army, the actual combat power of these troops is simply not available. As for the protection, it is better to streamline the number of troops and take the elite route. It is easier to improve the combat effectiveness,” Duke Stark said.

“Simplify the army?” Eric brows. “Duke Stark, there are currently less than 50,000 troops in our kingdom. This number is very difficult to defend the entire kingdom. If it is reduced, isn’t there a loophole everywhere? Even if it can prevent How can I do with Sakk Kingdom?”

“It’s very simple.” Duke Stark is obviously prepared, and smiles: “The kingdom army is only responsible for the main defense targets. As for the secondary defense missions, the nobles like me naturally have the obligation to assist in defense.”

Eric groaned: “What do you mean by this?”

“The example is based on the northwestern province where the Northern Guard Regiment is mainly stationed. In order to guard against the invasion of the Sakk Kingdom, the Northern Guard Regiment is not only stationed in the northern border of the entire kingdom, but also in the northwestern province. It seems completely unnecessary in my opinion. The northwestern province currently has a total of seven private aristocratic territories, so the seven aristocratic families have the responsibility of defending the territory, and they can fully assist the defensive tasks.”

Eric shook the head: “That’s how it works. This is the duty of the kingdom army. The aristocratic private guards are only responsible for defending their private territory, how can they involve the defense of the kingdom’s territory.”

“Your Majesty, when you led the Northern Guard Regiment to counter the Sakk Kingdom, you also got the help of the private guards sent by many nobles. Now why don’t you allow them to do their part?” See Eric In hesitation, Duke Stark added a sentence. “The most important thing is that all the expenses of these noble private guards are solved by the nobles themselves, and the kingdom finances are not responsible. Can this save a lot of military expenses?”

Eric Frosts, fell into meditation.

After a long time, his right hand unconsciously pats on the table, gently said: “This… seems to be a way too…” (to be continued.)
