In the capital of the Star Country, a group of ministers with important official positions stood in twos and threes below, whispering to each other about something.

At this moment, the sound of the drum sounded, and those who heard the drum closed their mouths and did not speak, waiting for the arrival of the Lord.

A man dressed in armor with a cloak of golden stripes on his back walked to the main seat with steady steps, and then sat down, and the civil and military officials below bent down to the king and said in unison: "Long live my king, long live my king." ”

William IV waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then his majestic demeanor collapsed, revealing the appearance of a lazy uncle, and said angrily: "The weather is so good today, what important things do you want to mention?" ”

The civil and military officials were also accustomed to it, and no one stood up to speak.

"By the way, bring the food."

When the governor standing next to him heard this, he immediately explained the matter, and the guards immediately brought the food, and when the table of the king and the civil and military officials was full of food, William IV picked up the wine glass, and the ministers also picked up the wine glass, and then everyone drank it all, and after eating for a while, the prime minister Zuo Cheng tenon first spoke: "The food is getting richer and richer, I don't know what His Majesty the King thinks?" ”

"That's a good thing! To continue to increase imports of food, especially this food (energy bars), it is necessary to increase the volume of imports. ”

"Your Majesty, we don't have much money at our disposal, and the price of a new product like energy bars is high, and if we buy a large amount, we won't have enough money unless we curtail the procurement of other projects."

Hearing that the procurement of other projects was going to be reduced, at this time, Prime Minister Youyuan put down the energy bar in his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "If you want me to say, you should reduce the procurement of ordinary grain!" ”

So the two guys quarreled, one was in charge of money and food, the other was in charge of the military, and the so-called reduction of other items was obviously aimed at arms procurement, especially the procurement of high-grade weapons, which was particularly costly, and it was also the weapons and equipment needed by the ministers present, and these accounted for more than 50% of the total expenditure!

And then subtract infrastructure, education, public security projects, etc., less than 30% of the funds fall into food procurement, these grains are the quota food for public officials, and the reduction of ordinary food is to reduce the quota food for grassroots public officials, which also has an impact on the ministers here, because they also need to train grassroots public officials, only a sufficient food supply can cultivate more powerful subordinates, and energy-rich food, indeed the rations of masters, only in this way can they continue to grow stronger energy needs.

And weapons and equipment are also particularly important, if you lose this, you will be able to fight with your bare hands, and your lethality and defense will be much weaker.

In short, whatever it is, none of the ministers present want to cut back on purchases.

As for the two prime ministers quarreling, no other minister dares to persuade the problem, it is very simple and rude, that is, these two are both beginner-level saint crystal level bulls, and the other ministers present are still hovering at the strength of the purple gold level, the strength of the two can be described as worlds apart, in this world, the strength and identity of individuals are highly overlapped, and powerful people basically have corresponding high positions, and it is rare to be able to leapfrog the upper position by virtue of the relationship, unless there is an extremely bull X person standing behind you, then you can cross a level, But the seat is not very stable, and people who are stronger than you will not really give in.

And William IV, who is firmly on the throne, has the strength of the mid-level Saint Crystal level, and has also inherited the treasures handed down from the generations of the Star Kingdom.

After equipping a treasure-level weapon and equipment, his strength was even more exaggerated, and it was not at all comparable to ordinary Saint Crystal masters.

The comparison between the two prime ministers and William IV is like the gap between Dick Si and a local tyrant, and they are completely in a state of being crushed and beaten.

Because their Saint Crystal weapons and equipment are not complete, only one piece of armor in the left prime minister's tenon is a Saint Crystal level thorn armor, and the other weapons and equipment are still amethyst-level, and the right prime minister traces back to the source There is only one Saint Crystal level treasure, that is, the Saint Crystal Weeping Blood Long Knife, and the other equipment that is also the amethyst level is used to make do.

And the other ministers are also masters of the amethyst level, none of them are weak, they are all the heads of a big force, and they rarely show up, that is, William IV has something to say, so they all summoned.

Eating and drinking in the court is just to balance the daily consumption of the body, there is no way, they are too powerful, and the energy consumption is too large, and they need a lot of supplements.

William IV watched the two prime ministers quarrel with great interest, not in a hurry at all, the two prime ministers were very uncomfortable being stared at, so they stopped arguing, and they all looked at the king to see what the king said?

"What you say is very reasonable, but these should not be changed, if we want to solve the problem, we still have to find a solution from the outside."

"Yes, we are now strong, we have destroyed several neighboring countries, and the corresponding development is also going well, and after a while, the production will grow explosively, Your Majesty, we need more time,"

"Oh! But our new neighbors are also growing faster, and they are not going to stagnate and wait for us to develop slowly. According to my intelligence department, the new neighbors are not what they seem, they are very strong, we really have to fight with them, the outcome is unpredictable, and the other thing is that many of their products are not possible for us to mass-produce, and now we are a little too dependent on them. If there is really a war, have you thought of any contingency measures? ”

"But... We're not ready yet. ”

。。。。。

。。。。

"Okay, time is pressing, integrate all the resources as soon as possible, mobilize all the forces, and contact all the forces on the Night Moon Continent to show how powerful the heretical forces are here, and persuade them that it is best for them to send a large number of masters to participate in and eliminate him together.!"

"Traceability, you are responsible for the integration of resources in the country and deal with the logistics problems."

"Tenon, you are in charge of the mobilization of your country and prepare for war."

"As for the other countries in the Night Moon Continent, I will notify the diplomats stationed in those countries and let them negotiate, do you still have any questions?"

The ministers had no objections, and since the king had made up his mind, then as courtiers, they could only work hard.

After Wilhelm IV gave the general policy, he announced his retreat from the court.
