Chapter 101: Fiscal Crisis

Whether it is straightforward or disguised, between the lines, the desire for profit of these people is revealed everywhere, and Wei Gong thought to himself, this world is really cruel.

Fortunately, he has his own judgment, otherwise he would not have been fooled.

It took Wei Gong more than three hours to finally read the thousands of messages one by one, and lay on the bed with his eyes closed, enjoying his face.

Seriously, it feels really good to be patted and sought after, but there is a piece of news from Chongjian Country that makes him a little concerned-

A sincere invitation from Lord Jia Shengsijia, the head of the Heavenly Machine Department of the Chongjian Country.

"Wei Gong, I'm Jia Shengsi from the Heavenly Machine of the Chongjian Kingdom, you don't have to doubt my identity, do you remember the last time you used a strange spell on me in the sewers of the Imperial City? What I want to say is that I don't mind your rude actions to me, on the contrary, I think that your sword-forging talent should be put to good use, and if you choose to leave your country because you are afraid of the Dark Palace, or because you are afraid of my affairs, then I can only say that it is a matter of more than worth the loss for you and me. Because you didn't do anything wrong, I know that you were forced into the Dark Palace by His Highness Qi Chen, and besides, the cause of His Highness Qi Chen's death has nothing to do with you, and you haven't done anything that endangers national security, so I hope you can consider coming back and returning to the Sword Kingdom, after all, this is the place where you were raised. I, Jia Shengsi, are true to my word, with my guarantee, you will be safe and sound in the Chongjian Country, and I am willing to sponsor you to become the honorary swordsmith of the royal family, and I can also make you a new six-star Chongjian. ”

What this news said should be true, because he clearly mentioned what happened in the sewers at that time, and Wei Gong used the ability of the Devil's Pupil to bewitch Jia Shengsi before he was able to retreat.

The reasons given by Jia Shengsi are very good and convincing, think about it carefully, it is true that Wei Gong did not do anything wrong, he was forced to participate in the competition of the Dark Palace, Qi Chen died, although he didn't know the reason, but it had nothing to do with him, at most he put Jia Shengsi together when he ran away.

If he doesn't pursue it, Emiya will be a very fucking clean citizen.

"I'm a very fucking clean citizen!" Thinking of this, Emiya couldn't sleep at all, and looked at the ceiling with a pair of eyes puffing open.

Moreover, the promise he mentioned at the end was also very tempting, the head of the Heavenly Machine Division didn't know how much power he had, even if he couldn't succeed in becoming a new six-star swordsmith, then at least it would not be a problem to mix up an honorary swordsmith.

Emiya sat up from the bed suddenly, his heart pounding.

He pressed his hand against his chest, as if he were weighing a thousand pounds of weight on it.

No, to be precise, it is a scale, one end of which is the condition given by Jia Shengsi of the Sword Country, and the other side is the sword Rin Sakura.

……

Huo Jing, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs of Mengjian, looked at the treasury revenue and expenditure data that had been counted this month, couldn't help but close his eyes, and stretched out his hand to pinch his eyebrows with a headache.

In addition to the normal consumption of armaments, the consumption of construction and the daily consumption of state-owned industries, public security and human resources...... In addition to the total consumption of 22.3 billion, the eastern coast was hit by a huge typhoon last month, destroying 61 houses, killing 314 people, injuring 1,201 people, and losing an estimated 11.6 billion yuan in property.

Reconstruction efforts are urgent, estimated at least $5 billion.

Due to the lack of sword-casting technology, Mengjian cannot obtain high profits in terms of exports, mainly based on sea salt, rubber and some seafood and shellfish sword-casting materials, and a small amount of income is tourism, and the annual financial income is only about 200 billion.

After the pirate infestation, this income will drop a lot.

As the department that manages the income and expenditure of money, Huo Jing said that he is under a lot of pressure, and he has not been able to sleep every night recently.

He quickly pulled out a painkiller and swallowed it in his mouth, and after a few moments, the headache was slightly relieved.

Perhaps the previous proposal of Feng Rui, the king of the South China Sea, to His Majesty to let each jurisdiction be autonomous and take care of its own profits and losses may be a good way.

No, no, no, Huo Jing hurriedly shook his head, Feng Rui, an old fox, has ill intentions, on the surface, he is thinking about the country, but in fact he just wants to expand his power, if the door of autonomy is opened, I am afraid that the entire Dream Sword Country will become fragmented.

Huo Jing knocked his head hard and scolded, "Huo Jing, Huo Jing, you are really an old fool!" ”

"Lord Huo is shrewd, how can he be confused, otherwise it would be impossible to sit in the position of Hubu Shangshu for more than twenty years."

The sudden sound startled Huo Jing.

His Royal Highness Sword Rin Sakura appeared in his office in a bright yellow dress at some point.

Huo Jing quickly stood up and saluted her.

"Your Highness."

"Lord Huo doesn't have to be polite."

Kenrin Sakura hurriedly helped him up.

Because the monarch of the Dream Sword Country has no heirs, he has been cultivating Jian Rin Sakura as an heir since a few years ago, and she will be brought with her for state consultations, military deployments, and money scheduling, and give her all the power to intervene.

During this time, after His Majesty's personal conquest, the entire palace was basically managed by Kenrin Sakura.

"My lord," Jian Rin Sakura sat and looked at him precariously, and said seriously, "I have seen last month's financial data, I'm afraid that with our country's income, it is not enough for the expenses of these few months, so the treasury must be very empty, right?" ”

Huo Jing saw that she was straight to the point, and it was not easy to hide it, so he had to nod, "There is not much left, if you can't turn losses into profits, I'm afraid that there will be a displacement of disaster victims at the end of the year." ”

"That's dangerous." Jian Rin Sakura bit her lower lip with a solemn expression.

After a while, she raised her head, "In this way, I still have more than 500 million in my own personal life, this money will first fill the treasury for you to solve your urgent needs, and then next month, won't I go to the Heavenly Sword Country to participate in the sword sacrifice ceremony, and then I will see if I can talk about some business and come back." ”

"Your Highness......"

When Huo Jing heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, even if others thought that the royal family of Mengjian Country was just a paper tiger and a cowardly royal family, but in his opinion, no country's royal family could compare to them, how could a royal family who could dedicate everything to their own people, and even do not hesitate to become a flattering actor in the eyes of others, how could they be cowardly?

"His Royal Highness Xie is sympathetic to the people's feelings, Huo Jing is here to thank the emperor!"

Huo Jing knelt directly from the chair to the ground and made a big salute to the sword Rin Sakura.
