The autumn breeze blew, mixing a chill in the air, and crept through the window into a hut in the backyard of the palace of the Lampari Kingdom.

Sevini originally felt a little groggy in his head, but he was blown by this chilly breeze, but his body shook slightly, but he was much more energetic.

If it had been before, she would definitely feel that this wind had come at the right time, which could lift her spirits and continue to handle government affairs efficiently.

This time, however, she raised her head and looked out the window, staring at the fallen leaves falling by the breeze for a rare moment, then groaned slightly, got up and closed the window.

Returning to the table, Sevigny picked up the copy he had just put down, glanced at it, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face again.

This is a report of the Lampari Kingdom's financial statistics for the previous month.

From this statement, it is clear that the Lampari Kingdom's financial revenues have made great progress.

In just last month, in just one month, the total financial revenue from all parts of the Lampari Kingdom has exceeded 500,000 gold coins.

You must know that during the reign of Sevigny's father Lampari XIII and his brother King Eric, the financial income of the Lampari Kingdom for a whole year was only a million gold coins, and on average, it was only about 100,000 gold coins per month.

And Severny has been on the throne for less than two years, and the financial revenue of the entire kingdom has increased several times.

If the current trend continues, it is very likely that the annual fiscal revenue statistics will exceed the 5 million gold coin mark this year.

Severny knows. Five million gold coins are actually for many big chambers of commerce and big aristocratic families. It's not a big number.

But for the always poor kingdom of Lampari. This is already a remarkable achievement.

If the annual fiscal revenue can exceed five million gold coins, it can make the finances of the Lampari Kingdom much more generous than before, and allow Sevini to have money to do a lot of things.

Nowhere is this more evident than in military spending.

Before Sevigny ascended to the throne, the military budget of the Lampari Kingdom was at most 300,000 gold coins per year, and this was to deal with the threat of the Sark Kingdom, which was squeezed out of the already small financial revenue.

But now, as the Lampari Kingdom's financial revenues increased, Sevini immediately stepped up its military spending.

Last year. The Kingdom of Lampari has invested more than 800,000 gold coins in military spending.

Less than ten months have passed since the beginning of this year, and the Lampari Kingdom has already invested more than 1.5 million gold coins in military spending.

By the end of the year, this amount will most likely exceed two million gold coins.

This figure has even exceeded the financial income of the Lampari Kingdom for the whole year!

With such a generous military budget, the army of the Lampari Kingdom quickly improved significantly.

Taking the Zhenbei Army, which Severny values the most, as an example, now the Zhenbei Army not only has a complete set of weapons and equipment for each soldier, but also is equipped with a large number of military magic machines, which makes the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army qualitatively improved.

Since the second half of last year, the Zhenbei army has begun to counterattack the Kingdom of Sark under the instruction of Severny.

And from the first action, it has been a year now. The Zhenbei Army has made many sorties on the border between the two countries, and has fought several times with the Greedy Wolf Legion guarding the border of the Sark Kingdom. Every time it's a big win.

The Greedy Wolf Legion of the Sark Kingdom originally had more than 50,000 elite soldiers, but in these several battles, more than 10,000 were killed by the Zhenbei Army, and even the entire formation of an elite brigade under the Greedy Wolf Legion was brutally defeated.

Since the founding of the Lampari Kingdom, the Sal Kingdom has always had an absolute advantage over the Lampari Kingdom, and it has never been like now, and it has been bullied by the Lampari Kingdom to the point that it is powerless.

Because of the achievements of the Zhenbei Army, newspapers throughout the Lampari Kingdom have reported on it during the year.

For a time, all the people of the Lampari Kingdom were in high spirits, and some people had even shouted the slogan of directly marching into the Sark Kingdom, completely defeating the Sark Kingdom, and even occupying the Sark Kingdom.

However, Sevini is very clear that the reason why the army of the Lampari Kingdom was able to win successive battles was because of the large investment in military spending to improve the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army, and at the same time, there was a very important reason, that is, it was equipped with a large number of military magic machinery, and the Zhenbei Army had an absolute advantage in armaments and weapons.

Although this can make the Zhenbei army invincible on the battlefield, the war is not limited to the battle on the battlefield, but will also be affected by many other factors.

The most important thing that determines the final outcome of the war between two countries is to compete for the national strength of both sides.

Although the kingdom of Lampari has benefited greatly from the promotion of the magic industry after Sevigny's accession to the throne, the kingdom has grown a lot.

However, after all, the Lampari Kingdom has been weak for too long, and it is impossible to completely overwhelm the Sark Kingdom in just less than two years.

Sevini never thought that it would be so simple to completely defeat the Kingdom of Sark, and she knew very well that the most important thing for the Kingdom of Lampari now was to continue to maintain the momentum of rapid development and continue to accumulate national strength quickly.

When the Lampari Kingdom is really strong, it will be logical to want to defeat the Sark Kingdom at that time.

However, in order to achieve this, there is a very important premise, that is, to be able to get the full support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce all the time.

As Her Majesty the Queen, and as the person who has the deepest contact with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and can even be said to be the person who knows the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce the most in the entire kingdom, Sevigny knows better than anyone how terrifying the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or Xu Yi, contains.

Only with the full support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can the Lampari Kingdom continue to develop the magic industry, and can it use the magic industry to drive the overall economy of the kingdom and rapidly increase its national strength.

However, it is not so easy to get the new flying chamber of commerce, or more precisely, to get Xu Yi's full support.

And to Sevigny's relief. Xu Yiruo simply considers the problem from the perspective of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Then there is actually no difference between the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Lampari to him. They are all objects that can be cooperated, and anyway, the new flying brand magic machines are just as popular wherever they are.

However, Xu Yi has always been a staunch supporter of Severny, and has never considered any possibility of cooperating with the Kingdom of Sark.

Therefore, in Sevigny's view, Xu Yi is not only his personal friend, but also the most important ally of the Lampari Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Sevigny touched his lower abdomen with his hand, and his expression became a little strange.

After a moment's pause, she shook her head slowly. sighed lightly, and was about to continue reading the official documents, but there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in. ”

Sevigny answered, and a moment later a maid walked in

"Your Majesty, Lord Duke Festarin and Lord Count Satsuma have arrived. ”

Looking at the maid's not so familiar face, Sevigny couldn't help but think of Betty and Carol who she gave to Xu Yi, and couldn't help but be stunned again.

After a pause, she smiled wryly and instructed the maid, "Let them in." ”

The maid took the order and departed.

Soon. Outside the door, two different frequencies sounded, but both were extremely heavy and powerful footsteps.

The door was opened. Duke Festarin, known as the "Eagle of Lampari", walked in with Count Satsuma, who had returned to Anvimar from Severny yesterday.

The two of them respectfully saluted Sevigny, and Duke Festarin asked in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty, may I ask why you have summoned us on purpose?"

Duke Festalin is sixty-seven years old this year, but he is in a sturdy body, his face is full of red, and he seems to be still in peak condition, both mentally and physically.

If it weren't for the dazzling trigger, at a glance, people would always mistakenly think that he was only in his forties this year.

Sevinj got up from his chair, walked around the table, invited Duke Ferstarin and Count Satsuma to sit down on the sofa next to him, then sat down opposite them, put on a chatting appearance, and asked: "Duke Ferstarin, you should be the person who knows the Sark Kingdom best in our Lampari Kingdom, can you tell me that with the current strength of our Lampari Kingdom, is it possible to completely defeat the Sark Kingdom?"

"No way. Duke Festarin shook his head without hesitation. "Your Majesty, although we have a certain advantage on the battlefield, it is all due to the use of the equipment advantage caused by the military magic machinery. Without these absolute superiority in equipment, our kingdom's army can barely hold the border at best. ”

"And what if we can maintain this advantage forever?" asked Sevigny again.

The Count of Satsuma on the side looked moved, glanced at Sevigny, and then quickly lowered his eyelids, as if he did not pay attention to the question.

"This advantage has always been there?" said Duke Festarin frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head again. "Still impossible. Your Majesty, a war between the two countries cannot be decided by the outcome of one or two battles or even a dozen battles. In many cases, it is only after hundreds or even thousands of battles that it is possible to decide the final victory. And on the most crucial logistical issue to ensure the victory of these hundreds or even thousands of battles, our Lampari Kingdom is still far inferior to the Sark Kingdom. ”

After a pause, Duke Festarin added: "Your Majesty, in fact, you have done a great job in the two years since you ascended the throne. I think that as long as we continue like this, it won't be many years before we can worry about the Kingdom of Sark at all. ”

Seeing the sincere expression on Duke Festarin's face, Sevinj smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Great, Duke Festarin, since even you have this idea, then I can rest assured." I hope you can make this point out to the public, don't you think?"

Duke Festarin was stunned for a moment, and after a little groaning, he immediately understood what Sevigny meant, and laughed loudly: "Okay! As long as it's for the kingdom, let me do anything!"

Sevigny gave Duke Festaline a sweet smile and turned to look at Count Satsuma.

"Count Satsuma, do you have an accurate number of all kinds of magical machines smuggled into the Sark Kingdom through Guò Sevini City in the past few years?"

Count Satsuma frowned, not understanding why Sevini had suddenly asked this question.

In fact, as early as when Lampari XIII was still alive, the smuggling of a large amount of magic machinery from the city of Guò Sevinj to the Sark Kingdom was already underway, and this was still the approval that Xu Yi personally obtained from Lampari XIII, which can be regarded as the "official smuggling" of the Lampari Kingdom.

In the past few years, whether King Eric and Sevigny have ascended to the throne, this has not changed, and it seems that this fact exists by default.

After all, through this kind of smuggling, the Lampari Kingdom has made a lot of profits from the Sark Kingdom, and no one will be idle and deliberately ban it.

Severny was well aware of this, and even hinted to the Earl of Satsuma in private that he could continue to increase the scale.

Now she suddenly asked this question, but why?

The Count of Satsuma pondered for a moment before replying, "Accurate numbers are hard to come by. However, according to private estimates, the total amount involved in this smuggling has exceeded 2 million gold coins this year alone. ”

"Two million gold coins?" Severny frowned and shook his head. "It's not much. ”

Both the Earl of Satsuma and the Duke of Festarin were stunned.

It's just smuggling, and the amount involved is more than two million gold coins, which is not much?

Her Majesty the Queen...... What the hell are you trying to do?(To be continued......)
