The Nyusal Interior is a purgatory-level mess. If you want to describe the situation here in the simplest words, Dussander will use a witty quote that he has seen in TV dramas in his previous life.

The hell was so poor that thieves would have to cry and leave five pennies when they came in, and then wipe their tears to help them relock the door.

According to the ledger data ordered by Director Escobar, the entire Neusal internal situation was in fact bankrupt with two months to go until the current fiscal year.

All employees' wages must be paid in arrears for at least three months, which is no longer a "problem" but an "old rule" in the Nyusar domestic affairs situation. According to Escobar, the rule began before he took office.

Of the 1,100,000 gold pounds allocated annually by Olin to the Neusal Home Bureau, 550,000 gold pounds were to be issued directly in the form of a twenty-five year imperial war treasury.

These Imperial War Debts were an important measure for the maintenance of the Empire and the War of Alliances, as well as an important responsibility of the Interior Bureau as the executive branch of the Empire.

With 550,000 gold pounds in his hands on a 25-year war treasury bond, Escobar was at first a little worried about how he should live his life. But then he found out that at least his former director had paved a way for him to live in peace.

The war debt was used to pay two-thirds of the fixed salaries of all employees, and in order to compensate for the "self-sacrifice" of these headquarters employees, the Bureau of the Interior opened a free canteen to feed their families, and at the same time distributed coal directly to them for five months each year in preparation for the cold season.

The remaining war bonds, which amounted to about 200,000 gold pounds, were simply not acceptable, and were deposited in the treasury of the Interior Bureau.

You can't starve, you can't freeze. And a third of the income can go steadily into the pockets of employees, which makes the staff of the Internal Affairs Bureau endure it.

This forbearance is twenty years.

In the past two decades, the rules for the issuance of two-thirds of war bonds have remained unchanged, but the prices of coal and food have continued to rise. Twenty years ago, it wasn't too much to feed all the employees and their families across the globe. Five months of coal is also not too expensive. But now...... In order to maintain the purchase of canteens and heating coal, the Interior Bureau had to continue to borrow from the outside world and promised to repay it with the next year's allocation.

This is a solution to quench your thirst. But Director Escobar simply had no other choice. Compared to two decades ago, Olin has increased his allocation to the Neussal Interior by less than 15 percent, while the price of coal has quadrupled and the price of food has more than doubled. The huge increase in spending has made the domestic economy completely unsustainable.

Fortunately, the majesty of the executive branch is still there, and in another five years, the war bond will be cashed. Director Escobar borrowed from place to place with his nimble bottom-line financing, barely maintaining the status quo, but what more could he do...... I'm afraid it's impossible.

"That's what we're in." Chief Escobar wiped the sweat from his head with a handkerchief and muttered, "Mr. Lord, without a special appropriation from the House of Commons, the Home Affairs Bureau can only guarantee that we will not be completely bankrupt in five years." But any new tasks...... I'm afraid we won't be able to do it. ”

Dussander rolled his eyes, he really didn't expect that the internal political situation that looked so magnificent on the outside would be so poor. There was a huge pile of war bonds in the coffers, and even the bureaucrats had to deduct two-thirds of their salaries!

But you can't trust all the words from others, and Dussander himself has some doubts.

Of the 1,100,000 gold pounds, 550,000 gold pounds were war bonds, of which 250,000 gold pounds were paid to the employees as wages, so according to the calculation of two-thirds, there were probably more than 83,000 gold pounds paid in cash to the employees.

And what about the rest of the money? What about the remaining 460,000 gold pounds?

"We have spent a total of 160,000 gold pounds on our two welfare measures this year." Director Escobar said with a bitter face, "Then 40,000 gold pounds will be used to pay the interest on the previous loan, and this will only be 260,000 gold pounds." ”

Of the remaining 200,000 gold pounds, 58,000 gold pounds were allocated by the Home Affairs Bureau to the Church for charitable purposes. The charitable hospitals established by the Church are largely run on this fund.

The Home Office also spends 30,000 gold pounds a year on the maintenance of public roads and buildings, the maintenance of greenery for the area around the Upper Albin Starlanding Complex and the railway station, and pays the gas company for the gas required to light the gas street lights...... All in all, if it were not for the 550,000 gold pounds of gold for the war bonds, and for the good fortune of the year, the Home Affairs Bureau would have had a surplus of a few thousand gold pounds a year.

"We really don't have any money right now, my lord!" Speaking of sadness, Escobar even burst into tears, crying like a fat man of three hundred pounds, "My lord, I have done my best in this situation now, if you want to do any education and medical security on a large scale...... You, why don't you just take me to the heraldic office and kill me! ”

The fat man and the little boy looked at each other, and the air in the director's office was warm but scorching.

After a while, Dusand was about to say something to lighten the mood, but outside Escobar's office, a hoarse cry suddenly sounded.

"Master, master, please save my sister!"

Dussand's brow furrowed, and he quickly stood up and looked out the window, where a thin figure appeared downstairs. The figure raised his head, knelt on the ground and cried, "She's been sick for days, please, sir, see her sick!" ”

In his arms, there was a man who was dry and thin, almost almost skinny. Dussand's eyes narrowed, and then the glow of the gas lamps in the building, which happened to be periodically bright, saw the dry braids on the man's head.

It was a little girl.

Two goblins appeared on either side of the thin figure, and the high-level one directly stretched out his legs and was about to kick people, "Hurry up and get out, and don't look at what this place is!" ”

She probably wants to calm her fragile mind that is frightened, so she is ready to vent her anxiety by maintaining order through violence, which she is not good at.

As soon as the thick and short legs stretched out, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the director's office on the third floor. The crisp sound accompanied by the loud sound of glass shattering immediately retracted the thick leg in fright.

"Let's go down and have a look." Dussander withdrew his still smoking 52 pistol and walked towards the door without looking back, saying as he went, "You can still stretch your legs and prepare to kick the child who asks for help, that fat woman should change jobs." ”

Escobar, trembling with trembling legs, asked cautiously, "Do you think you should...... How to deal with it? ”

"Let's get her a boiler cleaner first. We'll see if we can continue to adjust. Dussand's face was ugly, and he walked quickly downstairs, feeling very uncomfortable.

The little girl who was held in her arms...... It looks like it's out of breath.
