Chapter 264: The New Aristocracy Movement (2)
Everyone looked at Ze Jin and listened to her carefully, and the dinner time was postponed.
Ze Jin said: "Yesterday morning, the latest population statistics of the Melovi Kingdom came out, and I received the statistical report. The total population is about one million, of which there are about 150,000 immigrants from the subhuman kingdom, about 800,000 immigrants from the elves, goblins and human kingdoms, and 30,000 newborns. ”
"I said to Queen Agiro that it wasn't Melovi who saved the Elven Kingdom at all, but the Elven Kingdom who saved itself. The money consumed by Melovi for disaster relief is about five or six billion gold coins, but except for some of the dowries of the three queens, this money is basically the tax paid by the immigrants of the Elven Kingdom and the income from investment in the Elven Kingdom. What would have happened if Her Majesty had been reluctant to let her people go to Melove? ”
In the chamber, the sons of the nobility looked at each other—they had never thought about it.
Ze Jin straightened his somewhat messy hair and said, "Next, I'll talk about some things that may be hard for everyone to believe." First, such a large-scale delivery of emergency supplies to the Elven Kingdom is opposed by ordinary people in the Cabinet Ministers, including me standing in front of you. ”
Everyone was in an uproar and looked at Ze Jin in disbelief.
Ze Jin smiled: "It's hard to believe, but this is indeed the truth." At that time, I thought that the population of Melovi was increasing day by day, and the demand for food was also increasing, and if such assistance continued, Melovia's grain reserves would be emptied, and if any disaster occurred in the territory, the consequences would be unimaginable. In addition, the immigrants of the Elven Kingdom generally came to Melovi because they were oppressed by the aristocracy, and frankly, they did not have a very good impression of their homeland. ”
Some of the audience members were sweating from their palms.
Ze Jin smiled: "However, later, we still did it for many reasons, the most important reason is what King Meiyi said - we need the Elven Kingdom, far more than the Elven Kingdom needs us." A prosperous, stable, and peaceful elven kingdom is in the best interests of Melove, and this is a business matter. There are many teachers, classmates, friends, relatives and lords in the Elven Kingdom, which is a private affair. ”
Ze Jin said: "Also, the nobles of the Elven Kingdom are not doing nothing. Before Mei Luowei entered, some nobles opened warehouses to release grain for relief to the victims. Some nobles even mortgaged their mining rights, houses, land and other ancestral properties to buy grain at high prices from those nobles who hoarded grain, and used it to help the people. Some nobles sent money to Melove, expressing their uneasiness, hoping to make up for some of Melove's losses. ”
The crowd had never heard of this before, and it was very new.
Zejin said: "Just when Melovi was gambling with the hoarding nobles to see who would collapse first, Queen Avelu, together with other members of the royal family, pressed all the assets on Melovë's side, which finally crushed those nobles. You don't really think that those aristocrats have to give up when they see that some disaster areas have started to put disaster relief materials on the market and think that the materials are still very sufficient? The aristocracy is not a fool, they can't afford it. ”
There was a roar of amazement in the conference hall.
Ze Jin smiled: "Now, you also know, right? The disaster relief operation was originally a joint operation between Melovi and the Elven Kingdom. On the surface, it is just disaster relief, but behind it is a life-and-death struggle. Once those nobles are victorious, the country is bound to change again, bloody and bloody, and in the end the people will suffer. Those nobles will not let Melovi go, and will cut off all our contacts with the elven kingdom, and frankly, we can't afford that price at the moment. ”
Ze Jin sighed: "Thinking about it now, I really have to thank King Ai Qi and Queen Mother Elsa for having the courage to find a human governess for the princess." If it weren't for the strong trust between the two, our king would not have dared to do this. Pushing it further, I have to thank Provost Hua Jin for having the strength to hire a human teacher. Further on, I would like to thank Principal Shiro for his patience and tolerance, Archbishop Loloki for his kindness, and Master Esther for his determination. They're all aristocrats! ”
Speaking of this, Ze Jin smiled and said, "So, everyone, please carry forward the aristocratic spirit of justice, bravery, temperance, humility, and mercy, and start from the things around each of you to reshape the character of the elven kingdom and make it more open, inclusive, peaceful, and safe." Your teacher is still talking about Melovi that if you weren't so reckless at that time, you can be a teacher in the Elven Kingdom. As your own citizens, you don't love the elven kingdom as much as a foreign king. Okay, I'm done, I'm going to delay everyone's dinner. ”
The room erupted in laughter.
Indeed, Teacher Meiyi is the person who loves the Elven Kingdom the most.
After the meeting, Ze Jin and the children of the nobles who had the meeting went to the dining room of the True Spirit Academy for dinner, and there were many acquaintances of Ze Jin in the academy, and they saw Ze Jin, who was a staff member of the palace of the Melovi Kingdom and Minister of the Interior, ordered two sandwiches and a bottle of Coke, and when she sat among her classmates to eat, she said to herself: Why is she more unparticular than in the past?
After eating, Hua Jin and Ze Jin walked around the campus. Hua Jin sighed: "At that time, Sombra City came to the True Spirit Academy to recruit people, and you just went if you didn't want to, everyone thought you would be buried there. Who would have thought that you would suddenly become the most powerful minister in Melove? ”
Ze Jin said: "Teacher Huajin, don't say that, what is the power and not the power?" In the words of our king, power is to do things. By the way, Mr. Hanajin, there's one thing I'm curious about......"
"Huh?"
"When our Queen Kira was at your house, it is said that she went to speak a few words to the old King Ezel, but she refused to tell us. Surely you know, right? Can you tell me? I've been holding it for days. ”
Hua Jin smiled: "Then you can continue to hold it." Your queen has written to us, and I guess you will ask my family, and I have kept it a secret. Anyway, it's better if you don't know, I was so scared that I was about to have a heart attack, and then I knew that Kira was not a simple person. You are in a high position at a young age, so don't look down on this human queen. ”
Ze Jin hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Teacher Hua Jin." Queen Kira has helped me a lot, and I respect all three queens. I wouldn't do that. ”
Hua Jin said: "When are you going back to Melovey?" ”
Ze Jin said: "I won't go back for the time being, the king gave me two weeks off." In the first week, I planned to spend time with my family, and in the second week, I had already made an appointment with Brigitte and her family to go on vacation to Yue'er Lake in Melovey. In the summer, there are many festivals on the shores of Yue'er Lake. ”
Hua Jin said: "It seems that you have adapted to the life of Melovia. ”
Ze Jin said: "Well, it's a little busy, but it's simple and pure. Living in the palace, it is very quiet, you can eat in the palace, Pelti is very good at talking. The salary is also very high, and when he is not busy, he can make an appointment with the queen, other ministers and friends to go shopping. Seeing that what she did could really change the relationship between Melovêve and the two countries, I felt that what I had learned in school had not been in vain. ”
Hua Jin said: "I hope that Mei Luowei will not break out like the Elven Kingdom, and the battle for the heir will break out." Al Ain and King Ayer fought for decades, bringing great disasters to the kingdom, with two coups d'état and several man-made Warcraft invasions nearly destroying the kingdom. Good thing he's not here now. I hope Mei Yi will not be confused about this matter in the future, and his three wives have been made queens, which complicates the issue of inheritance. ”
Ze Jin smiled and said, "Teacher Hua Jin, you are thinking too far, the future king is still wrapped in diapers." ”
Hua Jin smiled: "Well, I'm too worried." It's not something I can control. ”
When he walked to the gate of the college, Ze Jin said, "Teacher Hua Jin, how did you think about King Meiyi's invitation to be the president of Melovi University?" Does the second lady still have a pimple in her heart? ”
Hua Jin glanced up at the brilliant starlight in the sky, and said lightly: "There is still it, but it is much better." Kira probably came to do her work for a long time, I don't know what they said, but Hanabi has already agreed to be a part-time lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Melove, so I plan to go to the University of Melovême as well. As for whether to take over the post of president of the University of Melovêve, it is still a matter of words. ”
Ze Jin smiled: "This is really good news. Don't hide it, and tell me what the Queen said to King Ezel. ”
Hua Jin pushed Zejin into the carriage and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go, good night, Zejin, say hello to your parents and two sisters on my behalf." ”
Sitting in the carriage, Ze Jin looked at the bustling crowd on Zhenling Street, and sighed: "When I ran to Sombra City, not to mention the snobs in the family, even my mother and sister, who have always supported me the most, thought I was crazy. Now, he has become the chief of staff of the royal palace and the Minister of the Interior of Melovêvi...... Not to mention that others are snobbish, in fact, I quite enjoy this feeling myself. ”
Feng Lingdao, the Minister of Industry and Innovation who accompanied Zejin on his visit to the Elven Kingdom, said: "Like you, I also like the feeling of fulfillment now, and I know that everything we are doing now has great significance, far beyond our imagination. ”
Ze Jin said: "Feng Zero, I'm going home to start my vacation, what about you?" ”
Feng Ling said: "I'm going to the Land of the Wind to see the Great Lord and his wife." Xiao Mei loved to ask for the blond grandmother, and the young lady asked me to go back and discuss with Madame if I could take her to live with Mei Luowei for a while. ”
Ze Jin said: "Oh, I was going to invite you to my house to have a look." ”
Feng Ling smiled, "Next time." ”
Near the palace, the two parted ways, and Ze Jin took a carriage for more than an hour to a manor in the northeastern suburbs of Zhenling, where her sisters Ze Yin, Ze Ling and her mother were preparing dinner in the kitchen. When the family saw each other, they hugged each other and were very happy. Ze Jin's mother smiled and smiled, her face suddenly turned cold, and she threw out a sentence hard:
"Zejin, I heard that you were accepted into the harem by King Meiyi?"
