Chapter 16 Troubles of the Parties

"Why don't we send you a Devil Fruit in the Navy, and then let Akainu apologize to you. How about I punish him again after you let him back? Sengoku's tone was full of hope.

"Are you sure you want to give me a priceless Devil Fruit?" Shen Ming felt a little funny. This kind of lack of what comes from what, the thing of drowsiness touching the pillow is really cool!

Warring States didn't know that all this was Shen Ming's routine, and he felt that everything was back in his control: "It's just a devil fruit, it's just a small compensation for your intimidation." ”

"In that case, then I'm not going to accept it politely, right?" Shen Ming added: "Don't just take a garbage fruit to make up the number." ”

"Of course, I will definitely give you a Devil Fruit with great abilities." Sengoku said, "Take the phone to Akainu, and I'll talk to him." ”

Shen Ming: "Smack! After throwing the phone on Akainu's face, the scolding of the Warring States split his head and covered his face faintly reached Shen Ming's ears.

After a while, Akainu said with a blue face: "I understand, goodbye marshal." ”

Shen Ming picked up the phone, and the Warring States said very politely: "Then I will immediately send the nearest warship to the Great Sui Dynasty with the Devil Fruit." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." After hanging up the phone, Shen Ming looked at the red dog with a smile.

Akainu reluctantly turned his head away, and said weakly: "Honorable King of the Great Sui, I'm very sorry......"

Shen Ming didn't care whether Akaiu apologized or not, only the substantive interests were what he cared about and cared about.

"Until the Devil Fruit of Sengoku is delivered, you can stay here obediently." Shen Ming lightly put down a sentence and left the cell with Klockdahl.

On the way out of the Kingdom Prison, Klockdahl thought about what had just happened, and a very unreal feeling lingered in his heart for a long time: Shen Ming actually blackmailed the Admiral without a word, and asked the Admiral to abandon his dignity and apologize? It's incredible!

called the two girls who were resting and waiting outside the prison, and Shen Ming and his party returned to the palace.

The ministers in the council hall had already dispersed, but Terumi didn't say anything, but Tsunade remembered his previous experience in the council chamber, and said to Shen Ming angrily: "Why are your subordinates so doggy? I couldn't see anything but the beauty of me and Mizukage. Looking at their expressions at that time, not only did they look down on the two of us, but even you were afraid that they looked down on you. With their disapproving demeanor, I'm afraid they won't do their best. ”

Shen Ming pursed his lips: "Who called you two so beautiful?" They can't see your beauty, so it's not normal. Don't do your best, do your best? ”

Shen Ming glanced back at Klockdahl and said with a smile, "Isn't there a Shadow Guard led by the Seven Martial Sea Sand Crocodiles?" Otherwise, what use do I want him? ”

Klockdahl was a little confused, so Shen Ming ordered: "Send a few credible agents, give them the token of the Shadow Guard, and let them monitor and find the person in charge of gathering orphans, building a navy, and a hospital." If they do anything wrong, cut corners, or pervert the law for bribes, they will be punished and reported to me. ”

"Understood." Lockdale Road.

……

In the center of Rape Blossom, in a delicate three-story building, a white and chubby aristocrat is lying comfortably on a luxurious leather sofa.

Suddenly, the phone beeped.

He asked the gauzy-clad maid to carry the phone bug over, and heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

The mayor of Rape Blossom, who is in the capital city of Albana, is his cousin. Now his cousin is solemnly telling him Shen Ming's plan for a naval base, so he must do it with his heart.

After he lazily agreed, he asked the maid to take the phone bug back, and left the matter behind him nonchalantly, admiring the dancing of the three bewitching dancers in front of him with relish...... Being in a high position and accompanied by a beautiful woman, those troubles will be talked about later!

Albana, the capital, the residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

The tall and thin old finance minister was holding the account book, calculating the accounts with a sad face.

"After three years of civil war and drought, except for the import and export trade of the rape flower market, all other production and commerce in China were abandoned. Military expenses and pensions for soldiers who died in war are also a huge expense. He looked at the pen and paper, and his heart was heavy: "In wartime, the pressure is on the officers of the Kingdom Guard. Now that peace has been restored in the country, the burden is on the shoulders of an old man. ”

"The country is in a state of ruin, and there are countless places where money is needed. In this difficult and difficult period, the new king still wants to build a new hospital and naval army base that I don't know what to do, and he also has to gather all the orphans from all over the country for them to eat and shelter? The Chancellor of Finance smashed the ledger on the ground at once, and said angrily: "It's nonsense! Wang was still too young, too whimsical, and thought everything too simply. If this is the case, all the money in the treasury will have to be smashed on it, and it may not be enough. What about the army's military expenses, officials' salaries, and other places in the country where money needs to be used? ”

When he was very bored, the phone next to him rang.

The Home Secretary called him and said that the hospital near the capital Albana, as well as the naval base in Rape Flower City, needed a billion Baileys in the early stage. The main reason why so much money is needed is that this is not a small project, but a large project at the national level, and the cost of money is not at the same level as the cost of planning a hospital or military district in a city. The scary thing is that after the construction of the follow-up project begins, a steady stream of funds will be needed to keep up. In addition, after the army gathered the orphans in the country, the daily food expenses were also a huge expense...... After all, domestic grain can only be imported at present, and the domestic grain stocks have almost been exhausted due to the three-year drought.

"Is there any money?" The Home Secretary said on the other end of the phone: "The work can only start when the funds are there." ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer scolded: "Money, there is! But after the pensions were given to the martyrs, where was the money needed for post-war reconstruction, wasteland reclamation, trade in various cities, and so on? Give all the money to your Ministry of Internal Affairs, and in the next few years, our country will not have a penny! What about the military expenses, salaries, and all kinds of miscellaneous places that need money at that time? ”

The Home Secretary replied unhappily: "What are you throwing at me?" If you want to lose your temper, go to the king and send it! If it weren't for his lust and being hooked by those two fox spirits, where would we have so many troubles? ”

"You dare?" The Chancellor of the Exchequer was a little helpless: "Even the Seven Martial Seas' Klockdal has been subdued by the king, who will be the king's opponent?" Besides, his new king, who would dare to touch his moldy head at this time? ”

……

Far away on the sea, the Golden Merry sails.

After crying for a long time with the rain, Weiwei Lihua finally lay on the bed, her eyes were red and swollen and she couldn't help crying and stopped.

Nami patted her on the back in distress, laid her on the bed, tired and groggy, and covered her with the quilt.

Luffy squatted beside Vivi's bed like a child who had done something wrong, and said with great self-reproach, "Nami, I'm sorry." If I had known this would happen, I would have ......"

Sanji slapped Luffy on the head and said viciously, "Damn, if it weren't for you, how could Princess Vivi cry so badly!" ”

"What's wrong with her? Crying so fiercely. Zoro had already finished his workout, and was now leaning against the doorframe, asking worriedly.

Usopp didn't speak, but took the newspaper that Vivi had clutched tightly, gently pulled it out of her sleeping hand, and handed it to Zoro.

When Zoro saw the news in the newspaper, he was shocked and said, "No wonder she cries so hard, something so big has happened in Alabastan!" ”

"Nami-chan, what should I do? How can I apologize to Vivi when she wakes up? "Luffy, who has a tendon, doesn't vaguely know what he's done until now. But his thinking is obviously not on the same channel as everyone, and he thought that it was because of himself that Weiwei would cry so fiercely. It made him feel guilty.

Nami shook her head lightly and sighed, "Luffy, don't blame yourself, I don't blame you for this." ”

Luffy felt even more incomprehensible, and Nami didn't know how to explain it to Luffy. Why did the change of the name of the Kingdom of Alabastan to the Great Sui Dynasty have such a big impact on Weiwei, I am afraid, only Usopp and Nami, two people with online IQs, can quickly understand.

"Now, the only thing we can do is get to Alabastan as soon as possible." Nami clenched her small fists, her eyes full of determination: "Then defeat Klokdal, rescue Princess Vivi's brother Shen Ming, and return control of the Kingdom of Alabastan to the Nafirutari clan!" ”
