Stunned!

Everyone was stunned, both members of the royal family and ministers who were entitled to visit here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even if the king did wake up, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed and walk around now. You must know that the king was dying before, and it is really possible that he will not be able to hang up in one breath.

But now, the king was wearing a thin underwear, and he had no shoes on his feet, so he went out into the courtyard.

What is he going to do, is he warming up? What was he going to do to warm up?

It's just that no one stopped it. The royal power of the Kingdom of Odin is supreme, and neither the ministers nor the royal family are qualified to dictate to the king. Moreover, King Odin had to be a tough guy at all times, and they understood that the king was showing his prowess and downplaying the negative effects of this drunken fall and coma for twenty-one days.

Feeling his body warm, the king said to a member of the Praetorian Guard next to him, "You, give me a sword." ”

The king hadn't paid attention to it before, and when he looked at the Praetorian Guards, he realized that the equipment on their bodies had changed, and it was not what he remembered. Could it be that the Praetorian Guard has changed to new equipment during this time, why don't I know about it?

Could it be that the Minister of War is short of money to spend, and he is making money in the name of replacing ordnance, well, this guy is becoming more and more dishonest, and he has to be beaten.

Thinking about it, the old king wandered, and when the guard handed him the sword, the sudden weight made his wrist sink, and he shook his body without looking, and almost fell down.

This sword is so heavy!

This was the king's first reaction.

The people of the kingdom of Odin are sturdy and large in the Western world, and they also prefer heavy weapons, such as giant swords, heavy battle axes, flails, giant hammers, maces, etc.

However, the weapon in his hand, which is a circle smaller than the conventional greatsword, weighs more than twice as much as the conventional greatsword, what kind of weapon is this?

With doubts in his heart, the old king began to dance, originally wanted to pretend to show his bravery, but this sword was too heavy, and a set of swordsmanship was out of breath before half of the practice, and the advantages were unsustainable.

So he hurriedly returned the weapon to the guard, and praised: "Good weapon, the Minister of War has a lot of credit!" ”

It is indeed a good weapon, but where does the Minister of War dare to take credit, he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, it is not an old minister. All of this was donated by His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince free of charge. ”

The old king was surprised for a moment, but said casually: "Xiao Jiu, I remember that your mansion is not rich, just keep any good things for yourself, so a few weapons are not enough for the guards in your mansion, so don't send them to the palace." ”

The Minister of War almost choked on his own saliva. A few weapons, Your Majesty, you didn't look around.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince donated not a few weapons, but ......"

"How many, is it dozens? Okay, don't ask for credit for him, go back and calculate how much these weapons are worth, and let the Chancellor of Finance settle it. ”

The old king thought in his heart that his son has filial piety, but his son can't take advantage of his son as a father. Besides, because of the healing technique, he looked at the Nine Princes very pleasing to the eye, and was thinking about how to reward them, this little money was just an appetizer, so that everyone could understand his attitude towards the Nine Princes.

However, the old king did not expect that when he continued to say a word, the Chancellor of the Exchequer fell to his knees directly, hugged his thighs and cried: "Your Majesty, please take back your will, our finances are tight, if we settle this payment, this year-no, it should be that we will not be able to pay the military salary in the next life." ”

The old king was so angry that his beard curled, "The treasury has no money, you dare to say that our Odin Kingdom is financially tight, and say, is it that you old goods are used to support a lover." ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer bumped, how could he blame himself, "Your Majesty, do you know how much this batch of equipment on the Praetorian Guard is worth?" ”

"How much? Even if this outfit is all gold and worth a few dollars, I still don't believe that I can't afford it! ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer silently said a number, and over there, the old king stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Scandi helped him from the side.

"4 billion gold coins! What equipment can be so expensive. The old king almost roared.

Scandi coughed, and he was aggrieved for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, "Father, let me tell you." Our Royal City Praetorian Guards have a total of 30,000, plus spare equipment, even if it is 40,000 sets. ”

The old king vaguely understood what the problem was, and it turned out that instead of ten or eight sets, he sent 40,000 sets.

"Armor includes helmets, cuirasses, shoulder pads, hand guards, shin guards, belts, boots; Weapons include long knives, greatswords, battle axes, and armor-piercing cones; All of the above are included in a set of equipment. In addition, there are some bows, shields, waistcoats, etc. Even if it's just the cost price, a set of infantry equipment is nearly 100,000 gold coins, and 40,000 sets is 4 billion. ”

Puff ......

This time the old king did not lie down, but sat down. Hearing this number, he can no longer maintain the image of a tough guy king.

Poor all his life, every time the Chancellor of the Exchequer reported to him that the balance of gold coins for this year exceeded one million, he was so happy that he wished to lock himself up in the treasury and sleep on this million gold coins every day. Faced with the huge astronomical figure of four billion, his mind was blank, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

If I remember correctly, the cost of the Odin Kingdom last year for the whole year was more than eight million gold coins, four billion, which is almost the cost of the Odin Kingdom for five hundred years. Five hundred years.

Such a large sum of money, wherever it is invested, is shocking, if any king dares to spend such a sum of money on armaments, he will definitely be scolded by the people as a poor soldier.

However, this money did not come from the kingdom's finances, and it was donated free of charge, so after knowing this matter, everyone would only admire the generosity of the ninth prince, who had not yet become a king and spent so much money, if he became a king, how generous should he be.

It is absolutely impossible for such a tyrant to raise taxes for all kinds of boring reasons--the purest thoughts of the ordinary people.

"Help me up, I want to take a break."

At this moment, the old king's legs were weak, and he didn't know whether he was scared or excited, anyway, he couldn't walk well, if it wasn't for the help of Scandi, he would have to walk for half an hour from the yard to the bed for a distance of several hundred meters.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling a long breath, the old king said to the people around him, "Stand down, what you have to do, I'm tired, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

When everyone was gone, the old king said as if to himself, "Shadow, come out." ”
