Chapter 151: The Broken King's Banner

When Zhang Xun came again, it was a cloudy day.

Perhaps because of the frequent arrivals, Luke's physical condition also had some problems.

Like, weakness.

"Your Majesty, you don't seem to be in good spirits today. Lancôme said earnestly.

She has always taken taking care of Luke as her lifelong pursuit, and her demeanor is very solemn at this time.

Zhang Xun sighed, fooled around with the excuse of insomnia again, and then said, "Okay, go and help me get some eagle flags." ”

Another quirky order.

Lancôme has recently begun to get used to these quirky orders.

So she didn't ask why, but did what she was asked to do.

A moment later, a bunch of eagle flags appeared in front of Zhang Xun.

The flag of the Eagle Raise is red on the background, and an iron eagle wearing a crown is painted in the center.

Zhang Xun felt that it was ugly, but the aesthetic standards of people in this world were obviously inferior to him, so he didn't have the idea of changing the flag.

He's going to do something else.

When talking to leisure about cultivating patriotism, Zhang Xun was inspired a lot.

Many of the examples in the discussion are not suitable for Yingyang's current national conditions, nor are they suitable for Zhang Xun's position, but some other inexplicable ideas frequently appear in Zhang Xun's mind.

The one in front of you is one of them.

"Okay, send a message to the auxiliary ministers of the military department, that group of children have arrived in the royal capital, right, let him do the plan I arranged a few days ago. ”

After a pause, Zhang Xun reached out and grabbed the red background of the Wang Qi, and said, "I'll go to the study first, and when they arrange it, then call me, remember to do it as soon as possible." ”

With that, he strode away.

Lancôme was puzzled and had to do as usual.

During the preparations, the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer came to visit.

Zhang Xun met with the two ministers in his study.

The prime minister first made a report, mainly about agriculture, because Yingyang does not have an agricultural department, so this part of the affairs can only be handed over to the capable and old prime minister for the time being.

"A new batch of farm tools has arrived at the bridgehead, and the people there are stepping up their familiarization, and the irrigation plan and planting plan have also been handed over to special people to be in charge of implementing it before spring sowing. ”

Zhang Xun nodded, and then suddenly asked, "How are the original residents of the bridgehead feeling now?"

It's been a while since the last hype, and it stands to reason that the effect should be visible.

Speaking of this, Levi said with some excitement: "Unexpectedly smooth! According to your instructions, we have set up a home in the bridgehead for some soldiers of the army with planting experience, assimilated the bridgehead people, and at the same time, the church of the church is also in the bridgehead has been completed, and as far as I know, about one-tenth of the population of the bridgehead has been absorbed by the church to become believers in the creator god. ”

"Very well, it seems that the people in the church are not bad. Zhang Xun nodded, this progress is very good.

If you have a tenth of the population, you can basically guarantee that there will be no serious revolts.

"The most surprising thing is the impact on the internal affairs of the Western Frontiers, the talk of the abandonment of the god of war is very popular, and the hearts of the people of the Western Frontiers are shaken, especially the soldiers of the Western Army, and the morale is even lower. However, the King of the Western Realm has ordered that the theory of divine renunciation be strictly guarded, and anyone who dares to spread this theory will be imprisoned, so we can't continue to increase the propaganda at this time. ”

Zhang Xun nodded and said with satisfaction: "It's already very good, it's good to have this effect." ”

Levi's report was complete, and the next step was the Chancellor's report.

When the minister spoke, Zhang Xun's face suddenly became bitter.

In fact, almost every time he talks to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Zhang Xun's mood is not beautiful.

It is entirely fair to say that any department of Eagle Yang can bring good news, but only the financial department.

The Chancellor's report had only one enduring theme, which was to cry poverty.

The war is over, and the war-torn homeland needs money to restore it.

Soldiers who died in battle needed large sums of money.

Whoever overcomes shall also be rewarded with money according to his merits.

Damaged weapons need to be replaced with new ones......

And so on and so forth.

This is only the cost of the military department, as for the other departments, the annual expenditure is even more innumerable.

A war has made already poor finances even worse.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer tries his best every day to allocate resources and fill them back and forth, so to speak, among all the ministers, the prime minister is the hardest worker, and the most painful is the Chancellor.

"Okay, okay, after the implementation of the new metallurgical plan, hasn't the mine output increased significantly, and the income of this piece has increased anyway. ”

Zhang Xun rubbed his head and said helplessly.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer cried: "But this year's expenses have also been great! For example, the recent batch of farm tools has been ......."

Zhang Xun lowered his head and finally calmed down the chattering finance minister.

Then he tried to change the subject: "Okay, after finishing business, it just so happens that you two don't leave first, I have ordered those orphans in the war to be brought into the palace, and when there is an event, you can all participate together." ”

The prime minister wondered: "Your Majesty, I have also heard about this matter, I don't know how you plan to settle them? Although the fate of these children is tragic, if they are raised by the treasury, it will not be ......."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer immediately pricked up his ears as well.

Zhang Xun knew their concerns, sighed, and said, "I have my own arrangements, but I won't talk about the resettlement issue today." ”

"What's that for?"

Suddenly, a guard from outside came to report that the placement had been completed.

Zhang Xun got up and said: "Today, I want to give a speech, you all have to listen to it together, some of the things I made today, you will promote it nationwide later." ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was shocked: "Do you have something new...... Solution?"

Zhang Xun was silent and walked out.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Prime Minister looked at each other, and the two turned and followed.

When these big men left, Lancôme came with a few maids to clean up.

"Sister Lancôme, those children...... Did you really bring it all to the Imperial Garden?"

"Hmm. ”

"That'...... The reason why His Majesty ordered the area of the Imperial Garden to be bulldozed and turned into a playground, and then a flagpole was erected, was also for them?" asked another maid.

Lancôme bit her lip, her eyes full of confusion, and said in an uncertain tone, "Probably...... Yes, in short, Your Majesty has his own ideas. ”

Suddenly, the maid Wei Annie ran over with some broken eagle flags and said, "Ah, look, why are these flags broken?"

Lancôme was stunned, took it and took a look, and was surprised to find that the national flags she had just found for Zhang Xun in the morning were really damaged.

The red flag seems to have been cut and has been torn apart......
