Chapter 305: Imperial Council

Long Yi left early, and the emperor was in a meeting with the ministers in the royal chamber.

This is a weekly meeting, and usually the emperor handles government affairs in small meetings, but today it is a meeting dedicated to discussing important matters.

As soon as he heard that the dragon was coming, the emperor immediately let him go directly to the venue to observe.

"Everyone!

The emperor got up first, stretched out his hand, and introduced Long Yi to everyone. Although Long Yi is famous, there are still many people who have not seen Long Yi in person. When people finally saw Ryuichi with their own eyes, they all exclaimed in admiration.

Although the ministers have worked hard for the White Dragon Empire for many years, the credit of Long Yi may not be under them!

The applause suddenly rang out, and Rao Yi Yilongyi's face was thick, and he also felt that his face warmed up slightly. He scratched his head and sat down, everyone smiling. Before this, everyone who had never seen Ryuichi thought that Ryuichi was a three-headed, six-armed ogre. But I didn't expect that this time it turned out to be a big guy with an honest face, and he would be shy!

That's a lot of fun.

Is this person really the one who just blew up the Undead Warrior Factory in the Black Dragon Empire?

Some people have a reverence for Ryuichi, while others are completely unimpressed. Obviously, they thought that Ryuichi's merits were exaggerated, and of course Ryuichi also saw those eyes that were not friendly enough.

Obviously, these people are either jealous or spies.

Ryuichi thought happily.

The meeting continued.

In this kind of large-scale meeting, the emperor sits in the center, and the five ministers of the empire sit around the emperor. On the periphery, according to the official ranks, a group of more than 300 members sat near and far at a time.

The dragon is a dragon knight and gets a position close to the middle. Not out of respect. Rather, the official there happened to be on leave because of illness.

Obviously, the officials around Long Yi showed extreme dissatisfaction with Long Yi's doing here. Especially the person on the right frowned. This is a place of extreme importance, and every step forward means a step forward in the ranks. And Long Yi is just an ordinary dragon knight student, he is not even a professional soldier! Apparently too unconscious.

Long Yi didn't react to the eyes of the people around him, do you like it or not, what does it have to do with me? You didn't let me sit here!

The topics of the meeting were put forward one by one. The emperor and the ministers put forward their opinions separately, and it was relatively free here, and even the small official beside Long Yi had the opportunity to speak.

Ryuichi watched as Crane had a heated debate with the ministers and parliamentarians, and the two sides argued with each other. Even in the face of the emperor, he did not back down. This is the governance philosophy of the White Dragon Empire for many years.

Many years ago, a certain extremely wise White Dragon Emperor realized that the wisdom of one person is limited no matter what, while the wisdom of many people is infinite. Therefore, the emperor decisively established a parliamentary system that included officials large and small. It's not open enough for anyone to visit, but it's a big step forward.

This tradition continues to this day, and the system has been reformed several times and has developed extremely well. That's why. The White Dragon Empire has only now developed and has become the world's largest economic and cultural power.

If it is purely about the degree of economy. The two Black Dragon Empires were no match at all. But the advantage of the Black Dragon Empire is that it is a centralized empire. The power of the emperor is enormous, and the economy of the empire is completely in the hands of the imperial family, and the treasury is completely a copy of the emperor's private treasury. This means that the emperor can mobilize a huge amount of money at any time to invest in what he wants to do. For example, the Undead Warrior project, which was established by the Emperor single-handedly, took only two days from the decision to the official implementation.

This kind of thing is more troublesome in the White Dragon Empire, no matter what project needs to be established, filed, reviewed, or applied for, it is always very troublesome. This maximum decentralization, while beneficial to national development in the long run, lacks a degree of flexibility. Moreover, a large amount of money is actually in the private sector, and there are many super-rich people in the White Dragon Empire, and there are even three or two people who are rich enough to rival the country.

The White Dragon Empire has adopted a completely encouraging policy for these super-rich people, allowing them to make more money. Of course, they are also heavily taxed. However, these rich people are willing to stay in the White Dragon even if they pay heavy taxes, after all, the Black Dragon Empire once confiscated the property of the rich, which made the Black Dragon Empire a place for the rich to avoid.

And when it comes to the rich, there are several sitting here.

One of them had been looking at Long Yi since Long Yi came in, and Long Yi felt very uncomfortable being stared at so directly. Looking back, it was a familiar face, no, it should be said that it was a pair of familiar eyes.

The man looked to be in his forties, slightly wealthy. The face is not large, but the eyes are large, with slightly protruding sockets.

Could it be Wesley's father?

Ryuichi had been to Wesley's house, but had never met Wesley's father. Several times his father went to other places, and even talked about business in foreign countries. That man bears a slight resemblance to Wesley, so it can only be.

Long Yi nodded to him as a salute, and the man smiled slightly and turned his head.

The process was not fast, because the debate was intense. Until noon, the councillors went to eat, and Long Yi ran to have dinner with Crane.

"Didn't you say you were going to have two days off, why did you come here in just one day?" asked Crane.

"Because everything that needs to be thought out is thought out, and it is a waste of time to continue to rest. The dragon said, holding the plate. This is a buffet served by the royal family, and the emperor's ministers dine with the parliamentarians.

"You mean, the mad demon plane?" the Emperor lowered his voice.

"yes, I already have a clue. Let's break this down into two steps, the first step is to solve the vaccine problem first. If the vaccine problem is not solved, it is not fun to consider everything else. Long Yi said.

"Well, I've sent someone to keep an eye on the Zephyr Plains recently, and the energy state near that crack last time has been unstable, so it should be an opportunity. The emperor said.

"No matter what you do, you have to be fast, especially since the Zephyr Plain is located at the junction of several countries, if it weren't for the perennial monsters, it is estimated that everyone would never let go of this area. We must keep this matter extremely secret, and we must not let others realize what we are doing, and it is better to solve it quickly. ”

"If it's just a big demon, it shouldn't be too difficult for the dragon knight. The Emperor said thoughtfully.

"The problem is that once the passage is breached, it may not just be a big demon that will pour in. Long Yi said.

"This is the most troublesome ......," the emperor also fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, the dragon smiled.

"Wouldn't it be better if it wasn't one?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then smiled as well.

"Yes, we won't have to worry about running out of crystal nuclei!"

In the afternoon, the meeting resumed. At first, it went well, but soon, one topic sparked a massive discussion.

The White Dragon Empire's most famous think tank, the White Dragon Eye, has made a proposal.

The White Dragon Empire, an all-out war against the Black Dragon Empire.

The Eye of the White Dragon formulated a three-year war plan, and the entire plan was seventy pages thick, densely filled with reasons for war and a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides.

The abridged version of the plan was distributed on the spot, and even Long Yi was given a copy. The handwriting is neat and well-founded, and it seems very convincing at a glance.

"You can have your say. Crane said.

"I agree with the White Dragon's Eye's proposal. It was the councilor next to Ryuichi who spoke. “

The reasons are as follows: First of all, after years of development, the economy of our White Dragon Empire has reached twice that of the Black Dragon, and under the guarantee of sufficient funds, there is no problem with logistics at all. Secondly, our dragon knights have won battles one after another, and their morale is booming. We should take advantage of the victory and pursue and destroy the Black Dragon Empire in one fell swoop. Third, the Black Dragon Empire suffered setbacks one after another, and it was a period of low morale and rapid decay. And their Protector Dragon Knights were lost one after another, and their strength was insufficient. Based on the above three points, I think it is possible to go to war. ”

The emperor listened and nodded: "That's right, it makes sense." So, who else has any point of view?"

"I object, Your Majesty. "It was the councillor to the left of Long Yi who spoke, and they were separated by a Long Yi, but they were not together. "Although our economy is high, because we have rich wealth in the people, our own treasury is not very full. Second, although our side has won one battle after another. But don't forget, the first victory was due to the fact that Elsa the Dragon Knight of the Protector first killed the opponent's nine Protector Dragoons, and then the Dragon One killed Jacques Black. The opponent's super protector dragon knight who lost ten nine dragon marks in a row would flee in a hurry when his morale was low. To put it mildly, it is not by virtue of the true skills of our dragon knights! Moreover, although the other party has lost dragon knights one after another. But their dragon knights' own strength is not weak, especially the opponent's secret dragon breath reincarnation can double their strength. Although I am a staunch patriot, with all due respect, on the frontal battlefield, the strength of our dragon knight and the opponent's dragon knight is probably still inferior. Moreover, I don't know if this councilor knows that the Black Dragon Empire has been creating undead warriors for a long time. Once it is fully launched, if the other party has no scruples about using undead warriors. Under the attack of these undead plague spreaders, it won't be long before our army soldiers may all become undead warriors of the Black Dragon Empire!"

"What nonsense!" the councilor to the right of Ryuichi shouted, "Are you putting all the credit for the soldiers on the battlefield on the head of the man named Ryuichi! Even if you are an admirer of Ryuichi, you won't be so shameless to brag, right?"

Even if I'm an admirer of Ryuichi and I'm not ashamed, if you can do something like Ryuyi, I can become your admirer. The congressman on the left said disdainfully.

"Hey, you two, the dragon in your mouth is still standing here. Long Yi watched helplessly at the two of them, but the content was himself. (To be continued......)
