"The guards are ready to leave for Wiener tomorrow morning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info "Elena tossed her hand, and the torn powdered banknotes flew all over the sky, like wedding petals, fluttering down. In the midst of the sequins, Elena gently lifted her skirt and walked away, leaving behind an unmistakable edict: "I said I wouldn't look for him again." The next time we meet, I am the king, he is a minister, life and death have a fate, and everyone obeys the will of God. ”

Lily froze in place, looking at His Majesty's distant back, turning her head to ask for help, but saw Philia staring down at her toes, her beautiful steel boots kicking the carpet, and telling Lily in a complicated mood: "Frederick is good at arguing with the people, and will be welcomed by the Republican Party, and will probably become the enemy of His Majesty Elena in the future." Lily, you need to keep silent about this. ”

"I obviously like each other, and I want to have fun together, why do I become enemies unconsciously?" Lily pulled her sleeves and tore them, tearing them with tears in her eyes: "Why did you become an enemy?"

"People who have nothing will always take back what belongs to them. Filia gently stroked Lily's smooth bare back and explained softly, "And Her Majesty Elena is the king who possesses everything. Governance and suppression are her divine vocation. Just as struggle and rebellion are the destiny of the proletarians. ”

Lily felt that Filia's words were all too familiar, like the proverbs that the elven hermit had given to the royal family seven years earlier:

The supreme monarch looks out at the rising sun in the wilderness;

The republican flag was broken in the middle of a pool of blood.

The elegy of the remnant sword, the sound of the dynasty;

The rising sun of the thin hills,

Reflects the glow of gold coins.

It was seven years ago, when Habs III brazenly broke the treaty and recaptured the noble princess Elena from the Ten Elven Kingdoms. Since then, the royal family and the elves have broken off their friendship. The wheel of history began to spin out of control, and an elven hermit left behind the prophecy of the five elements, and then drifted away.

The old elf told Elena that there would be war. Thus began the War of the Seven Years of Succession.

The old elf said to the old emperor, "You will sink." As a result, the world was declining, gold power was in power, corruption and collusion, the dragoons won every battle, and the royal family still lost the whole war.

The old elves say to everyone that history will destroy you and give birth to new sprouts. The Grand Duke of Bafaria mysteriously disappeared and the Seven Years' War was defeated, followed by Count Frederick's return to the country, where he rebuilt his homeland with a thunderous hand.

The elven prophecy tells people that the supreme monarch, the bloody banner of the republic, and the golden power of the rising sun, these three magnificent images will eventually brew into a battle between heaven and earth. Everybody knows it, they just don't want to see it.

And Filia's meaning is to ask Lily not to interfere in the government and not to create unnecessary burdens on Elena.

No matter how stupid Lily was, she understood Filia's kindness, so she had to lower her head and bite her lip, suppress her worry and excitement, and lower her eyebrows to clean up the documents for His Majesty.

Filia bit her lip and pressed her chest, and somehow she felt the urge to ride alone to Fort William, grab Frederick by the collar and wake him up, telling him how miserable the betrayal of the central bank was, telling him how dangerous the trip to Wiener was, and telling him how difficult it was for Elena to choose.

Elena was destined to be chained to the throne in shackles. Frederick was turning against her dynasty, and Elena couldn't hold back her hand, so she could only watch Frederick go away. And all this, Filia knows clearly. She tried to grab Frederick and beat him and tell him that there was a girl on the throne in the distance whose heart was broken.

But when you think about it, isn't that eventful?

The chief knight walked out of the mansion, stretched out his hand to shield himself from the dazzling sun, squinted his beautiful eyes and looked around, although he was a little reluctant, he still instructed the officer: "Ba the village, load the tent, and in the early hours of tomorrow morning, Her Majesty Elena will leave for Wiener, and the dragoons will escort the whole team." ”

"Yes, Chief Knight. ”

――――――――――

"Preliminary census results: 80% of farms outside Mingxing City have resumed farming. Half of the city's mills, weaving and small crafts resumed production. Two blacksmiths and steelmaking furnaces were also re-ignited and began to output parts and crude ingots. Replenished with raw materials, War Workshop 1 recalled Technicians and Apprentices and began producing new sword and shield weapons to replace defective items. However, the other three war workshops were unable to operate due to a lack of crude steel ingots and coal. Lancelot held the thick ledger and followed behind Frederick to report in detail, "Fort William has 1,012 gold coins left, and the market has 2,630 thalers in circulation, and there is still a risk of credit bankruptcy. ”

"But the food and weaving are on the right track, and the war workshop can be used to replenish the armament, and the Knights will slowly regain their large-scale combat capability, which is the foundation. Secondly, the recovery of productivity will allow us to develop trade with the iron treasury, and reserve 'Taylor' as good foreign exchange to facilitate the purchase of other urgently needed materials. Frederick and Walter walked side by side and solemnly concluded: "As long as our credit is strong, a virtuous circle has begun, and if we slowly accumulate enough gold coins, we will not be afraid of credit bankruptcy." ”

"Yes, as long as the credit is strong enough. Lancelot admits that "the current expectation of weekly income is 2 golds and 50 silvers. The weekly expenditure is two taylors, and it is in a state of slow accumulation of wealth. ”

"Don't forget, if the people don't come to exchange the gold coins, then Thaler is nothing more than a distant debt. You can think of it as earning 2 gold and 50 silver per week while the payout is zero. Walter smugly nodded to Lancelot. "When the machine is in place, you can print the thaler yourself. ”

Lancelot was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that Fort William was so rich, and had the illusion that he was rich and rivaled the country.

"Lancelot, keep a tight lid on the circulation of Teller. Printing the thaler in excess will bring about a second inflation. That's a chicken-and-egg looting. We are not robbers. Frederick warned.

"A thief and a robber are just the difference between raising and slaughtering. Not much difference. Walter shrugged his shoulders and muttered, then smiled and rubbed his hands and looked at Lancelot: "The chief knight is exhausted from being in charge of military affairs, and Fort William's accounts are piling up, so it is better to leave it to me to take care of it." I believe that Count Frederick is in great need of a sufficiently shrewd Chancellor of the Exchequer right now. ”

After a second of silence, Walter suddenly changed his words: "Oh, it's the treasurer." ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is the head of an independent Ministry of Finance, which can only be set up and appointed by the Habs. If Frederick appointed Walter as Chancellor of the Exchequer, it meant that he had the heart to stand on his own feet and stand up to the royal family.

Walter uttered the words "Chancellor of the Exchequer" in a speech, caught a glimpse of Frederick's frowning eyebrows, and figured out his mentality, before temporarily changing his words to "Treasurer".

Lancelot glanced warily at the fat-headed Walter, and cautiously refused: "In the name of divine grace, I have enough physical strength for my current work and sleep. Fort William's accounting and military affairs are closely related to each other, and I am very familiar with them, so thank you for your concern. ”
