The royal court, the palace of the king.

Under the awe-inspiring gaze of the ministers, Evan ascended to the Sun Throne refreshed. Then he turned around and sat down facing the seat of the council:

"The reason why this demon hunting war has achieved such a great success is not only the desperate service of the soldiers, but also the concerted efforts of the ministers and bureaucrats to maintain political stability, and to coordinate logistics, pensions, and reconstruction. Everybody has merit, who gave me an idea, how to reward it?"

"Your Majesty!"

Senid, the new chief officer of the Precept Academy, immediately stood up, bowed his back, and said loudly: "Your Majesty's success in fighting the demonic plague can be a happy event for both the country and the people, and it is worth celebrating. Every year on this day, a celebration is held to distribute food and cloth to show His Majesty's kindness and merits. ”

"Good, good, good!"

Evan smiled when he heard this, and then forced himself to calm down, and after thinking about it carefully, he still chose to excuse himself:

"Seni Deqing's method is good, and I like it, but it is not suitable for now. The demon disaster has not been extinguished, it is just a trough, the origin of those demon summoning monuments, the mystery of the number of monsters, we haven't figured it out yet, and the celebration will be avoided. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his hand and motioned for Senid to sit down, and then turned his gaze to the new chief officer of the Accounting and Investigation Academy, Sekaitobu:

"Although this war has been successful, the losses are also very large, and I cannot let the families of the victims shed tears in vain. After the war, the matter of rewards and pensions must not be delayed, how are the arrangements made by your side?"

"Back to Your Majesty!"

Secketto stood up sweating profusely, took out his handkerchief and wiped his face, and replied in a trembling voice:

"After His Majesty's reform, the income of the Accounting and Investigation Institute has increased greatly during this time, but the mobilization of the Demon Hunting War is very large, and most of the money of the Accounting and Investigation Institute has flowed to the army logistics, and now there is no money in the account. ”

Speaking of this, he subconsciously lowered his head and continued nervously: "However, I got a lot of money from the fiefdom of the rebel family, and this money was sealed in the Royal Bank by the cabinet...... His Majesty believed that the money should be transferred to the Planning and Inspection Yuan, and if the money was used, it might be able to barely close the gap in rewards and pensions and ease the financial pressure. ”

"Recently, I patronized the Demon Hunting War, and I almost forgot about these rebels!"

Ivan clenched his hands into fists and slammed them on the armrests on both sides of the throne, his anger erupting like a volcano:

"Taking advantage of the emptiness of the royal court to plot to usurp the throne, and to make trouble with the monsters, the depth of the crime is the common enemy of mankind, and it is cheaper to hang this group of scourges! ”

"Your Majesty!

Senator Ptolemy saw the opportunity to stand up and said in detail:

"The six families have been in business for hundreds of years, with deep roots, with 30 million debens in gold, silver and precious metals alone, 4 million acres of cultivated land, 93 cities in fiefdoms, countless antique paintings, and a large number of mansions under their names. Not to mention the rewards and pensions, even if you add the post-disaster reconstruction and the training of the new army, it is more than enough, and it cannot all be handed over to the Planning and Investigation Institute!"

"These people are so rich!?" Ivan was stunned for a moment, and quickly became relieved again.

After all, it is a super wealthy family that monopolizes the imperial administrative system and can be 'divided into three families' at any time, and he can make a lot of money just by relying on his official position. Coupled with the business opportunities created by the use of administrative power, the merchants who came with it, and the fiefdoms that have been in business for hundreds of years, it is indeed not too strange to have so much money.

"The specific wealth of the six families is liquidated and disposed of by the cabinet and the auditor's court. Knowing that the amount of money was huge, Seketobu was deliberately vague, saying that it could only barely cover the financial deficit. It must have moved the mind of greedy ink, and I hope that Your Majesty will punish you!" said Ptolemy in a loud and convincing voice.

"It's not a loss to the adjutant brought out by Madame Dinie!"

Evan glared at Sekaito fiercely: "You won't help me share your worries, it's quite good to cheat money, what's the use of asking a chief official like you, go home and farm!"

"Go home...... Farming!?" Seketo looked up at the Sun Throne with a shudder, his face full of confusion, as if he hadn't figured out the meaning of the sentence.

"You were deposed. ”

Evan skimmed his face, couldn't stand his stupidity, and waved his hand vigorously:

"Take it, take it, drag it out!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The two Corona Knights immediately walked to their seats, reached out and grabbed Seketo's shoulder blades, lifted him up like a rabbit, and dragged him out with a gagged mouth.

"Woooo

Seketo didn't dare to struggle when he was caught, but begged for forgiveness loudly in shame, but unfortunately his mouth was gagged and could only emit a series of meaningless noises.

After watching Seketo step out of the palace of the king, the space instantly returned to silence, and a cold current seemed to rise between the Sun Throne and the council seat, as if they were isolated from each other.

"Ptolemy, you have done a good job. ”

Ivan broke the short silence with his words, and also made the ministers' eyes turn to the other party: "Since you have also participated in the work of checking the property, and the level of planning is not low, it is up to you to replace the vacancy of Sekaitobu." The Cabinet is preparing an edict, and Senator Ptolemy is also the chief officer of the Accounting Yuan, and I will seal it in a moment. ”

"Yes. The senators of the Cabinet led in unison.

"In addition to material rewards and pensions, promotions should not be sloppy, and the Royal Court should be cautious about this. Ivan glanced at the other party meaningfully.

"Obey, obey! Your Majesty will do your best, and if there is a mistake, let Your Majesty deal with it!" Andyèb, the chief official of the French Royal Court, hurriedly got up and made a promise with an oath - he would not be a monkey if he was not cautious in killing chickens.

"Do a good job, I won't treat you badly. ”

Ivan nodded in satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to the seat of the Expeditionary Academy:

"In addition to the reward and pension, I have one more thing I would like to discuss with your ministers. Through this demon hunting war, although the empire has achieved a phased victory, it has also exposed many shortcomings in command and dispatch. I think the imperial military system should be reformed to deal with possible crises in the future, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Everyone at the council table, including the chief officer of the Imperial Palace, stood up and expressed their approval in the most reverent tone.

In the face of such an unprecedentedly powerful monarch, all the conservative forces have no way at all, after all, the six major families who have the ability and dare to put it into action have completely cooled. The end was miserable, and all the nobles will feel their scalps tingle when they recall it.

And with this expedition, the new king has traveled all over the empire, spreading his majesty and power throughout the country—even in the most savage and ignorant frontiers, no one dares to oppose such a living god.

Evan made so many preparations, and what he wanted was this effect, and he immediately announced his plan: "Since all the ministers agree with me, then let's talk about it, starting with the military branch......

One by one, one by one

The discussion lasted from day to evening, and was as follows:

First, in addition to the original infantry corps, the imperial army added the air force and navy, the preset aviation corps, the mechanized corps, and the army added tank regiments, artillery regiments, rocket regiments and other mechanized corps, and gradually replaced the original cold weapons with guns. Military academies have been set up in each branch of the armed forces, and all officers must take turns to enter the academy for further study, and future officers must obtain graduation certificates before they can take up their posts. Those soldiers and officers who have been eliminated are transferred to the military cantonment, and their salaries and positions remain unchanged, and they are distributed to the land (limited to this generation) after retirement.

Second, in cooperation with the work of the people, after two years, all young men and women who have reached the age of twenty in the empire must perform military service. The duration is three years, salaries are paid during the period of service, and families are given tax-free incentives for three years.

Third, the establishment of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, to oversee the defense of the armed forces of the whole country and govern the major military regions, with the Sun King himself as the commander-in-chief of the five armies. All positions in the Governor's Office of the Five Armies are open only to officers, and the chief officer of the Expeditionary Yuan has the post of deputy, and all commands and transfers are not carried out by the Cabinet and the Sixth Academy.

This series of reforms established the Governorate of the Five Armies as the highest military command and leadership body in the empire, separated the military from the administrative system, stripped the military privileges of the nobles, and laid a solid foundation for the modernization of the military system.

Of course, due to the Empire's financial problems, many of the reforms were still preconceived and had to be filled in over time.

As for the army, Evan is ready to invest a huge amount of money to pull out an army at the level of Blue Star World War II and the Cold War as soon as possible to enrich the national defense force. Anyway, this kind of equipment is very cheap, and the training is relatively simple, and when the funds are abundant in the future, it will be slowly upgraded.

......

After leaving the Palace of the King of Power, Evan came to the Space Fortress non-stop to discuss the latest ideas with Xiaoxi.

Due to the special electromagnetic wave factor of Hyperion, many industrial facilities could not be started, so he decided to adopt the cross-era floating island model to build military facilities one by one - this mode is not only convenient for him to 'enchant', but also can directly install space-based weapons for accurate ground bombing.

After calculation, Xiaoxi also felt that this model was most suitable for the current Hyperion Star, and said very strongly that although she was a funny artist, she could also act as an operating terminal for space-based weapons - as long as the space-based weapons were connected to her local area network, she could control these devices to strike on the ground anytime and anywhere.

In that case, what are you waiting for?

Relying on the huge amount of money obtained by confiscating the six major families, Evan immediately contacted a group of floating island construction teams remotely through the Hebolion Development Consortium, negotiated the price, and asked them to drive their own spaceships to Menes for the construction of floating islands.

In addition to this, he purchased a batch of fully automated factories for the production of weapons in batches. These factories are all automated factories, but all weapons are weapons before the information age - whether they are powerful or not is secondary, whether they can be used in the environment of Hyperion is the key.

One by one, one by one

After all this, it was already late at night, and after returning to the royal court, Evan went straight to the study, only to find that the light was still on in the bedroom of the dormitory.

"You haven't slept at two o'clock in the morning?" he thought of this, and walked out of the study, to the dormitory, and went straight into the bedroom, where he found Eru Lomei sitting on the couch flipping through a book.

"Welcome back, Your Majesty. Hearing his footsteps, Eru Lomme quickly got up from the chair in front of her desk, lifted the skirt of her dressing gown and curtsied.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" he asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

"My husband is still busy, how can my wife sleep peacefully?" she replied with a smile.

"Whether it's true or not, I'm glad to hear it. ”

With his hands behind his back, Evan paced to the couch, glanced at the book in her hand, and found that it was a classical romance by Menes:

"I don't remember you liking this kind of thing. ”

"Just pass the time of boredom. She replied without thinking.

"Hmm...... All right. Ivan nodded nondeniably.

"Your Majesty, you are tired, no one understands your feelings better than I do. Eru Romei walked up to him, helped him sit down on the sofa, and then stretched out her slender hands and gently pressed her shoulders for him:

"So...... I think you need me a lot right now...... Need me to help you relieve your stress. ”

Feeling a pair of delicate and soft hands pounding on his body, Ivan squinted his eyes comfortably, and there was an indescribable feeling, crispy and itchy in his heart, so he simply attributed this feeling to "itching".

“......”

After noticing that he was enjoying himself, Eru Rome's eyes turned and she swallowed back what she was about to say. After a while of hammering and kneading, she suddenly left the place.

Evan opened his eyes and found that she had walked into the bath, and then walked back with a basin of water, a glass of medicine, and a towel.

"What do you mean?"

"Do your wife's duty and help you relax. ”

At this time, Eru Lomei's voice was thin and soft, as sweet as sugar water, and she reached out to help Evan lie down, and then covered his face with a warm towel, including his eyes.

"Relax, I know how to get you back up. ”

As she spoke, she opened the medicine, and the scent of ointment suddenly filled the air. Then I dipped a little bit with my fingertips, and then applied it to the temporal area above the outer corner line of Ivan's eye, and the slender and delicate fingers stayed there, pressing it up lightly and heavily.

“......”

Evan only felt that his temples were being gently squeezed, and a warm fragrance came from the other party's fingertips, indescribably relaxed and comfortable, and it was simply fluttering.

Eru Lomei massaged it very seriously, pressing from her temples to her eyebrows, and then gently pulled up the towel. Dip two drops of potion and place them above the opponent's eyebrows. Then I soaked the towel in the water to soften, wrung it out vigorously, and reapplied it to Ivan's face, pressing it through the towel.

As the warm and fragrant medicinal power continued to spread, he felt his whole body relaxed, as if he was soaking in a hot spring, as if he was in heaven.
