When York IV came back from a long period of thought, he found Andriy standing quietly in place, not leaving.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what Your Majesty is going to do when the brave man comes?" Seeing that York IV finished thinking, Andriy asked cautiously with a humble smile on his face.

"Huh?" York IV was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he was talking about, "You are asking about the reward of 500,000 gold coins for the person who killed the demon king at the beginning, right?"

The person who kills the demon king can be rewarded with 500,000 gold coins, which is the earliest announcement of York IV in the country, at first to attract the strong people hidden by the people to help the country through the difficulties, but there are many people who have never really killed the demon king. Those warriors who really went to crusade against the demon king often died on the road, and those who went to the imperial capital to find the king's reward were all daring liars, so no one could take the 500,000 gold coins away.

500,000 gold coins is not much, for York IV it is less than a tenth of the tax revenue of that year, but it is already a large number now, not only for an ordinary person, but also for the king of York IV. The perennial war has left the people living in misery, people have tightened their belts to get by, and taxes have risen every year, but they have been transferred out again before they have been warmed up in the treasury.

All the resources are inclined to the war, not only money but also food, daily necessities, rich people can rely on the past to live better, those ordinary people were poor households ten years ago, even the king of York IV has not seen meat for half a year.

"500,000, where can I get so much money for him?" sighed York IV, he was not the kind of person who broke his word and got fat, although he could tell himself in his heart that it was a last resort for the development of the country, but he did not want to do it.

As for the idea of a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey, it is even more impossible, the power of the brave has been seen by him as early as three years ago, and there is no one in the imperial capital who can help the brave, and if you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, you have to see if you have the ability to tear down the bridge. And the Poison Curse is nothing to fear under the power of Excalibur Duvarranka.

Therefore, it is impossible to use any conspiracy and trickery to repay the debt, and it is even more impossible to let the brave give up by himself, York IV clearly remembers the various performances of the brave three years ago, he is not the kind of noble person who regards money as dung, nor is he the kind of person who has no bottom line to help others without thinking about himself.

"Andri, you are the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and you are better at finance than me, do you have any high opinions?"

"Your Majesty, now not only is the treasury empty, but ordinary people have also been burdened by war for a long time, and they have long been overwhelmed, if you ask for taxes again, I am afraid that the country will collapse first without the Demon King calling!" said Andri, who looked like he was serving the country and the people.

"Did I say I want to raise taxes?" King York IV glared at Andri dissatisfied, he knew much more about the country than Andrie now, of course, he knew that blindly raising taxes would only accelerate the collapse of the country, whether you raised taxes for selfish desires or to resist foreign enemies, the people's ability to bear it was limited after all.

"It is the dereliction of duty of His Majesty that he failed to understand His Majesty's intentions, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him. Andri's voice lowered his head in fear, a smile on his face.

"Hmph, you won't think about anything other than raising taxes? Do you, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, only have taxes on his mind?" King York IV scolded a few more words, sat down on the throne and calmed the anger in his chest, he was more than half a hundred years old, and his body was not as good as before, and now he felt that his body could not bear it if he did a little strenuous exercise.

"That'...... can only be moved by emotion and reason to the brave man and persuade him to give up the reward of 500,000 gold coins. Andri, as if he had been scolded and out of proportion, hesitated for a moment before saying this.

"Convince him, are you coming?" asked York IV with a sneer.

"This ......," Andriy said as if he had lost his mind for a moment, his eyes rolling wildly, "although we can't make the brave man give up the 500,000 completely, we can persuade him not to let us pay it immediately." ”

"Oh?" said the king, who was interested, motioned for him to continue.

"The current situation of the country must be obvious to all, although it is a little different from the brave in our usual cognition, but the brave is essentially a good person who thinks about the common people in the world, as long as we explain to him that we do not want to get rid of the bonus, but to postpone it for a period of time, I think it is not impossible to convince success. Andriy looked a little weak when he spoke, he didn't have absolute confidence in convincing the brave, but he was still a little sure of it.

"Delay time, how long, how to delay? The brave is not the kind of person who is very patient. "York IV rested his right hand on the armrest of the throne with his head propped up.

"This ...... I haven't thought about it yet, why don't you wait for me to go back and think about it, or discuss it with other colleagues, and write a complete plan for your Majesty to see?" Andriy smiled a little embarrassed and embarrassed, he had some ideas about this improvised plan, but not to the point where he could immediately give a detailed and specific way to do it.

"Then you should go back and think about it first. York IV frowned and waved his hand, motioning for him to stand down.

Andriy bowed and turned to exit the hall, and although he had encountered some problems, he was still slowly advancing towards his goal, so he was in a good mood.

"Brave, when you are trapped in the imperial capital, entangled in all kinds of trivial chores every day, you will be unconsciously bound by the big net of this world, trapped in it and can no longer do whatever you want, at that time I will let you know how powerful I am......" Andri thought silently, and he came back to his eyes after he was beaten by the brave three years ago, he went home and wanted to ask his parents to help him get angry, but he was led by his father to the door of the victim's house and knelt down all morning, and was watched by the people of the entire imperial capital.

In the main hall, King York IV slowly stood up, he looked at Andri's brisk back and remembered the former Chancellor of the Exchequer who was tired of his post: "Whatever your original purpose is, this is indeed a good way for the current country, I just hope you don't make it self-defeating in the end, otherwise don't blame me for throwing you out of the blame." ”
