Office of the Near Minister, Senator, Vladimir & Sons, Boris ......

In the empty hall of the palace, Dennis sat on a stone bench in the center, thinking. To be exact, it's missing...... Yes, she remembered Boris again......

Although there were only a few meetings, she was fascinated by the charm that the man exuded. That's what you really like, right? Dennis asked himself. But there was no answer, and the palace hall was silent, except for the white sunlight streaming in through the high-walled windows, so quiet that you could see the dust in the air.

That's not right!

Dennis forced himself not to think about him, but the more he did, the more he missed him. She would fantasize about the day when she could go out on a trip with Boris, playing freely in the green meadows and chasing in the warm sun...... However, this is a fantasy after all......

Sometimes, she dreams of him. In the dream, Boris was right next to him, even in the same bed as himself. However, when I woke up, it was a different face. Of course, it's not that Pavel doesn't love it at all...... Sometimes, Dennis also appears in her dreams, but most of them are calm and bland. There is not a trace of inner turmoil.

Boris, on the other hand, gave her a strong and passionate feeling. Like a moth to a fire, blazing hot and wild.

Unfortunately, you can't have both. In fact, if he had met Boris earlier, Dennis would not have married the prince. But what is so perfect in the world? Or does Boris give himself the impression that it is just impulsive? is it just fresh? If they are really together, will they be as plain as water as Pavel after a long time? Dennis does not know...... The only thing she knows is that she misses Boris and misses him...... Uncontrollable thoughts. Moreover, knowing that it is wrong and should not be, it still does it in that direction. For example, the choice of military minister, Vladimir is certainly a very good candidate, but his son Boris really should not enter the office of the minister...... However, Dennis wanted to meet her so that he could have more time and opportunity to meet him......

On the stone bench, Dennis's eyes were misty. She didn't know how her father would react if he found out about it, and as far back as she could remember, he never scolded herself, never scolded her loudly. However, this thing is different, it is so wrong that it should not be ......

Whew......

Outside the hall, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps. Dennis sat upright, knowing that her close servants were coming. Eighteen members of parliament who had been selected for the first time came. And the king didn't even care about it......

Well, leave the king alone. Pavel may be having a private ball in his bedchamber at the moment, or hunting in the royal hunting grounds. Anyway, she told him, however, he didn't come. My husband has always trusted him so much...... Thinking of this, Dennis couldn't help but worry again, Pavel trusted himself so much, and he had another person in his heart...... Alas, there is no time to think about it anymore. Outside the door, the ministers had already entered the hall.

They are in charge of various departments in Kislev, the Minister of the Exchequer Torichka, the Minister of the Interior Antonovich, the military parliamentarian Vladimir, the head of urban works Vitalyevich...... Dennis chose them because of their position...... To say that the public is selfless, it is not like this. After all, it's hard in human nature to be truly selfless. It's just nice wording. As long as they follow their own schedule, Dennis thought.

"Today is the first day of the official work of the Office of the Ministers, and all of you present here are my old friends and teachers. I won't say much about those courtesies and polite words. ”

"The Office of the Ministers is to better serve His Majesty the Tsar and the people of Kislev. Therefore, what we are studying and discussing is also absolutely realistic. People's livelihood, economy, military, health, etc. I hope that everyone can work together for the revitalization of Kislev. ”

"Rest assured, here, you can speak freely. I don't get angry with anyone because of any verbal excesses. Tsar Pavel is above, he will look at us. ”

"Now, let's get started. ”

Dennis sat on a stone bench in the center of the hall and spoke in a clear voice. The whole book

Immediately after that, everyone walked to the long table and took their seats in turn. There is no noise, no flattery, there is, only seriousness and seriousness. Although this is the first time Dennis has presided over the meeting. But as she said, these people are not the first time they have seen each other, and many of them are old people from the past. Even as early as the reign of the bloody queen Katarina, there were intersections.

"First of all, the land leveling and sewerage works for the Grand Theater have been completed. However, the problems caused by the demolition of the houses have not been resolved. For three months, the civilians whose houses had been expropriated have been living in tents in slums outside the city. This is not a trivial matter, and if we don't give these people an account, how will the whole Kislev people feel about us?"

Sitting in the center of the long table, Dennis picked up the manuscript that had been prepared and read it. The big and small affairs passed through her hands, and the ones she took out to discuss with her close ministers were all thorny issues.

"Also, the long-term residence of refugees outside the city is a safety hazard, with makeshift thrift markets cluttered and unmanaged, flammable goods piled up everywhere and moldy food everywhere. Some orphans and the elderly even grab this spoiled food on the ground to eat. Hygiene is a big issue, and so is firefighting. Once a fire breaks out, the tents made of broken canvas will be powerless at all, and will even connect the flames, and these civilians will quickly be surrounded by fire, and the fire brigade in the city will not be able to get out of the city in time. By the time they left the city, the slum had already been reduced to a sea of fire. Moreover, the scattered and impoverished areas are all next to the city walls, and if the fire endangers the city walls, the consequences will be unimaginable. We don't have the capacity to do the task of repairing the walls now. ”

After Dennis finished speaking, he immediately saw the resentful eyes of some people, and they dared not speak angrily. Dennis knows what some people are trying to say – who will bear the consequences. But the truth is, there is no way to investigate it thoroughly. The aristocratic officials who had forcibly expropriated private houses had been demoted. However, if the investigation is carried out according to the standards, the scope of investigation is too wide, and the large and small aristocratic officials will definitely try their best to prevent the investigation in order to protect themselves, and the difficulties will be much greater than imagined.

Even if it is found out, it is useless, Dennis knows that every noble official above and below Kislev has more or less stains, and if he gets serious, I am afraid that when the time comes, everyone's work at hand will have to stop, and it is unrealistic to replace every position with a new official. After all, there are people who, despite their bad qualities, can maintain the stability of a certain position. When Kislev was rebuilt, Dennis knew it was not a big deal. Many things need to be done slowly.

"My suggestion is to clear the rubble on both sides of Steel Street and use it as a temporary resettlement site. Your Majesty, these refugees were not refugees in the first place, but for various reasons. Since, because of us, we have to be responsible. Iron Street was originally a blacksmith shop and a market for various ironsmiths. During the siege of Kislev, he was trampled by the undead and reduced to rubble. We can clean it up and rebuild the houses to house the civilians. This is originally the city, and the security and fire problems will be solved. ”

In the silence of the crowd, Vladimir spoke.

"Rebuild, then, who's going to rebuild? The engineering team doesn't have time to do this. ”

Kislev's head of engineering, Vitalyevich, asked indignantly.

"Let the soldiers do it. ”

Vladimir smiled and returned -

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Snow Eagle Legion are more than enough for this task. I fought against your father, and I was impressed by the Northern Army, especially the soldiers of Blackhammer Fort, who were not only warriors, but also engineers, who were proficient in building fortifications, digging canals, building houses and roads. Later, I asked the soldiers to learn this technique. Although it can't be compared to Duke Rhodes's elite army, it still has the ability to build infrastructure. Now, Kislev is up and down for a brief period of peace, and the soldiers are not at war and can be called together to take on the job. ”

"They're not going to do it unconditionally, are they?"

Dennis asked, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, indeed. However, as long as they are paid a little, many people are willing. It is the regular engineering team that is willing to pay less than half of the salary. I know them well and know what they're thinking. As long as there are brothels and taverns next to the construction site. ”

Vladimir said bluntly.

Dennis nodded, she looked at the young man next to the old general, Boris Boka, the son of Vladimir, only to see that the other party was also looking at her...... Dennis's heart trembled a little, forcing himself to look away and return to the venue.
