ps: At the end of the month, ask for tickets, ask for subscriptions

After Norwich City was taken, the whole of England began to return to calm and tranquility, and the pockets of our king, the pound sterling, which was constantly flowing outward, began to stop.

You know, the local militia only serves the king for one month a year, and the rest of the salary is paid by the king.

On the 3rd of February, the good news from the north-east of England finally reached London, and the nobles and commoners did not rejoice in the news of the victory.

In fact, with the exception of His Majesty the King, the rest of England showed no interest in these two riots.

"Your Majesty, according to the detailed report of Marquis William and Knight Alexander, our financial department has calculated for a day, and this is the following data!"

Edward reclined in his large chair and lazily opened his eyes as he listened to the report of Luna, the chief butler of the royal family and the director of the royal treasury.

As the Grand Butler, Luna could no longer be by Edward's side as often as she used to, as the affairs of the royal family and court consumed most of her time, and Edward could hardly see her except for a limited few hours a day.

Edward squinted his eyes slightly, and carefully looked at the girl who grew up with him, and the infinite emotion in his heart.

The girl was two years older than him, and she was sixteen years old, and in this era when she began to marry at the age of thirteen or fourteen, she was already relatively old!

A long flaxen-colored hair, pulled up by a red rope, revealing her smooth forehead, on the turquoise eyes, are two slightly thick long eyebrows, underneath, is a slightly tall nose, giving people a mature and steady atmosphere, and even with a sense of domineering.

Of course, this is the feeling in the eyes of ordinary English men, and John Bulls, who are accustomed to machismo, will definitely not be comfortable with this attitude of women over men!

Edward's gaze flickered back and forth over her, and he smiled and nodded.

For this kind of tough and beautiful Luna, Edward expressed his satisfaction, in this society where women are attached to men, it is difficult to see a woman with such a different temperament!

A pair of white and tender long legs stand upright, which is extremely tempting for men.

"It's just that there are no stockings, alas, it's a pity!" Edward sighed silently.

"Your Majesty, in the past three months, the total expenditure of the royal family has reached 160,000 pounds!"

Luna's red lips opened slightly, her white and tender fingers lifted a piece of paper, and her beautiful eyes glanced at the lazy young king, and rolled her eyes playfully, and then whispered.

"Among them, Devon, where the Alexander knight is located, spent a total of 60,000 pounds, which took two months, including 30,000 pounds for salary, and 30,000 pounds for food and weapons!"

"The army led by the Marquis of Parr cost 100,000 pounds, and the total number of troops gathered reached 20,000, involving the six counties of East England, and it took three months!"

"The militia has suffered nearly six thousand casualties this time, and if you follow the regulations you have promulgated, the total amount of pensions for the wounded and wounded soldiers and disabled soldiers is close to two hundred thousand pounds!"

The pension regulations that Luna refers to are those issued during the establishment of the Guard, which are ten pounds for minor injuries, fifty pounds for serious injuries and disability, and one hundred pounds for the families of those who die, all from the Royal Bank.

As for the militia, the bereavement is a floating cloud, and basically I have never seen or imagined such a thing.

Being a soldier eats food and makes money, this is the consensus of all ordinary soldiers in Europe and even in the world, as for the king, for England or something, the word does not exist in the minds of soldiers at all!

Therefore, Edward has always been entangled in the pension of the militia.

Let's take care of it! The number of dead militia is astronomical, and it can be said without hesitation that it can directly drag the royal family into bankruptcy.

However, if the pension is carried out, there are many benefits.

First, it can win a lot of popular support for the royal family.

You know, every militia has a large family of people behind them, and if a pension is given to a thousand people, then it can affect at least a few thousand people.

And this time, if more than 6,000 casualties are given pensions, at least 40,000 or 50,000 people will be affected.

And you know, England and Wales, at this time, the total population is only three million, which is not a small number.

Therefore, Edward considered it and decided to issue a pension to the militia as well, but the standard was directly cut in half, so that the royal family could barely support it!

However, in this way, the number is equally shocking, reaching 200,000.

These two suppression of civil riots directly cost as much as 360,000, which is almost the annual income of the royal family in the past.

If it was his cheap daddy Henry VIII who encountered this, his first reaction was to sell the land, and the second was to borrow money.

In short, last year's income was still close to 300,000 pounds unspent, and with the income from the tavern and the sale of liquor in the past few months, the pension could barely be fully distributed.

"Luna, you send someone to the Marquis of Parr and the Knight of Alexandria to register in detail, and record the wounded and dead soldiers, and try not to miss anything!"

When Edward heard such a large number, his heart was also a little unsettled, and he immediately sat up straight and commanded in a heavy voice.

Such a huge number, without a detailed investigation, is really determined, he is not worried about the number of reports of those officials and officers, do not underestimate anyone's courage, especially to plunder the money of those mud legs.

Don't let the money that buys people's hearts go into other people's pockets and waste all his hard work in vain.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone to follow up!"

Luna nodded slightly, and agreed, she was not at ease with such a large sum of money, even if the king didn't say it, she would propose it to the king.

"Well, you're with Adler. Todd said, after all, the money still has to go through the Royal Bank, communicate in advance, let him pay attention! ”

"Okay, I see!" Luna readily agreed, and spat out her little pink tongue mischievously, and the dignified director of the royal treasury became a cute maid.

Immediately, she sat down obediently beside the young king, with a hint of rough palm massaging the king's shoulder, with a flattering look.

"You're so busy these days! I haven't seen you for a week? ”

Edward fell back, his head lying directly on top of his huge breasts, soft and comfortable.
