Chapter 204: Darkness Chen Cang

The puppet was furious, and blood splattered five steps. Not to mention the king?

Brun Seth's good mood has been ruined by the ministers of civil affairs, and once the king is in a bad mood, it means that someone has to be unlucky, otherwise he will not be able to calm the king's anger.

The ministers of civil affairs became the unlucky ones, each of whom was fined a confession and 10,000 gold coins by Bren Seth, and Garcia, the secretary of state who was late for the lead, was fined even more harshly, fined 200,000 gold coins.

This amount of money is not a small amount, equivalent to a year's income of Duke Garcia's fief. Although it is not enough to hurt the muscles and bones, a little pain in the flesh is still needed.

Confessions of all were to be posted at the door of the House of Parliament as a reminder to all ministers to keep the time.

"Abner Aiqing, the tulip manor outside the royal city will belong to you, and I will have the title deed delivered to you after the retreat. ”

Home Minister Garcia was fined 200,000 gold coins, and Law Minister Ebner was rewarded with a manor estate outside the royal city by Brun Seth.

Tulip Manor was originally a royal manor, in which a variety of flowers were planted, no matter what the season, people can feel the fragrance of the flowers, itself is worth nearly 50,000 gold coins, and there are more than 3,000 gold coins every year just by relying on the income from the sale of flowers.

It was a place with a great view and a great place to recuperate, and to be able to give it to Ebner as a reward was a testament to the fact that Brun Seth had given full recognition to the self-disciplined minister.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Abner hurriedly saluted.

Augsig shook his head, his eyes tight. Look at the people of Abner, just because he got up early, came early, and then was rewarded with a very beautiful manor out of thin air, this is just a small thing, the important thing is the honor.

This is equivalent to putting a title of "punctuality and noble character" on the head.

It is conceivable that EBNER's status will be further improved in the future, and there will be faint signs of becoming the head of the four ministers.

Bryn Seth had sharp eyes and saw that the Minister of War and Political Affairs Augsg was shaking his head there, so he asked: "Augsge, I see you shaking your head, can you tell me why you are shaking your head?"

Augsig's body stiffened, he didn't expect that one of his subconscious actions would be seen by Brun Seth, and now Bren Seth asked a question, and he had to answer.

But the question of how to answer is whether he can say: "Your Majesty, the minister is very jealous of Abner. ”?

That's what a fool would say!

Fortunately, Augsig was still a little anxious, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister just thinks that it is really not worth it to occupy the time of the early dynasty for no reason because of the late arrival of the courtier, and the minister still has important work to report." ”

In one sentence, the early dynasty, which had been a little deviated, was pulled back to work, and Augsegg not only answered Brunse's question perfectly, but also gave people the feeling of being dedicated to work.

Bren Seth laughed and said, "Augsig, you workaholic look the same as always." Well, since you said that you need to report to me on your important work, then you can talk about it, and let everyone listen to it by the way, to see if your important work is important. ”

"Yes. Augsig immediately reported the latest battle situation, the most important of which was of course the excavation of the tunnel in the Hengduan Mountains.

“...... Just yesterday, I received the latest situation from the front line, the tunnel of the Hengduan Mountain Range has been fully penetrated, and the seven legions of the kingdom have successfully entered the hinterland of the elves, and they have not yet encountered the resistance of the elven army," he paused, and glanced around at everyone present, "Although the elves have not yet discovered that we have opened the tunnel, and have not been blocked by the elven army, it is the elven hinterland after all, and we are about to encounter the biggest battle since the start of the war." In the away battle, whether it is terrain or other aspects, we will inevitably be at a disadvantage, and we hope that other departments can give our military department the greatest support, and the logistics must not be interrupted. ”

"The military has managed to open the tunnel?"

"It can't be fake, right? How did we not know about it?"

“...... It seems that it is out of secrecy, and our staff is not very clear......"

“...... I didn't expect it, I thought that the previous few big victories were already the real strength of the military department, but who knows that there are still reservations, but now there is a big ......"

There was a lot of discussion in the court, no matter which aspect of the minister, after hearing the news, they were all shocked, even the ministers of military and political affairs.

Only King Bullon Seth and Minister of War Augske remained calm on the field, and the plan was made by the two of them, and the news had already been received.

Brun Seth waved at the royal guards standing beneath the pillars, preventing them from coming up and announcing a ban on the noise.

The news was so shocking that it took a while for the ministers to digest the sudden revelation.

"Augsig, are you sure what you say is true?" said Chancellor of the Exchequer Grandet glared at Augsger.

"Of course I'm sure. Augsig nodded affirmatively, he knew very well why Grandet had asked him with such an expression.

Wars burn money, and where does the money come from? Finance. As soon as the army is mobilized, it will be like flowing water, and the financial and civil affairs logistics will have to keep up.

The opening of the Hengduan Mountain Tunnel means that a very large-scale battle will break out between the two tribes.

The Minister of Military Affairs, Augsig, and the Minister of Civil Affairs, Garcia, will soon be demanding money from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Grandet.

Money, money, money!

Grandet could already imagine the rapid reduction in the number of his treasury reserves.

"Why didn't I know about such a big thing as you digging tunnels?, and where did you get the money to dig tunnels?" asked Grandet again.

Augsig shrugged his shoulders and said, "This matter is really important for the success or failure of this war in the kingdom, and we can't afford to leak it at all, so only His Majesty the King and I know." Don't say it's you, even my own people in the military and political areas don't know. ”

Augsig's words are to tell Grandet, I haven't even told my own people, so you don't have to be psychologically unbalanced.

"Then where did you get your money? I remember every financial expenditure of the kingdom clearly, and absolutely no money was used to dig tunnels!"

Grandet was almost hysterical, and he didn't know that there was a financial expenditure!

A playful smile appeared on Augsgo's face.

"Lord Grande, I don't know if you remember the incident when you asked me why I asked for money again......"
