Chapter 121： Position transfer (1/2)
? The dawn breaks.
The Kingdom of Saint Martin, the palace hall!
Arthur sat on the throne.
”See His Majesty the King!” The ministers knelt on one knee.
”Free!” Arthur waved his hand.
”Thank you!” The ministers got up.
”What's the matter today?” Arthur said lightly.
”Your Majesty, this year's financial report is out!” Ishihara Ken Saburo took a step forward, walked out of the crowd, and bowed to report.
”Is another year going by?” Arthur sighed inwardly. Compared with previous years, the entire Kingdom of St. Martin has changed incredible.
”Say it!” Arthur said solemnly.
”Yes! Your Majesty” Senzaburo Ishihara nodded and said sternly, ”This year's total national income is 9.353 billion Saint Martins Saint Martins! Compared with last year, it has increased by more than 300%. !”
”Among them, military expenditures, including army salaries, ordnance production, army logistics, army welfare, etc., add up to about 2 billion Saint Martins!”
Military expenditures have risen three times faster than last year. The main reason is that this year's large-scale refurbishment of the army and the establishment of the navy have caused these expenditures to soar!
At present, the Kingdom’s first army has been fully recruited, and preparations for the establishment of the second army are already under way. Moreover, all the warships of the first navy fleet have been built, and the ships of the second navy fleet are being prepared.
”The expenditure of the Ministry of Industry, including infrastructure construction in various places, road repairs, and scientific research expenditures of the Academy of Sciences, etc., is about 1.5 billion Saint Martins!”
With Mei Ke's joining, the Kingdom invested a lot of financial resources in scientific research in order to study more things.
”The royal family's income is 10% of the country's total income, which is 933,300,000 Saint Martins!”
”To sum up, the total expenditure this year is 8.53 billion St. Martins, with a surplus of 823 million St. Martins, plus the surplus from previous years. Now the remaining money in the treasury is 23. Seventy million St. Martin's coins, and fifty-nine billion Pele reserves!”
Although the surplus has increased and the income of Bloodport Town is very large, the remaining money is less. The main reason is that Arthur's recruitment notice for recruiting workers and talents. After these people are recruited, factories and houses will be built. , Arrange everything for them, which cost a lot.
After all, more than 300,000 people have been enrolled. This is not a small number. It is not too much to arrange for one person, but if it is multiplied by more than 300,000 times, it is incredible!
The population of the kingdom has now reached more than 830,000. Without the expansion of the territory, the current population is close to the limit that the kingdom can bear. If there is more, it will be a drag on the development of the kingdom.
The recruitment notice for recruiting workers has also been withdrawn. Currently, only recruiting talents is left. Naturally, the more talents are the better, and it is impossible to withdraw them in the future.
”En, good!” Arthur nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and let Ishihara Kensaburo return to his position.
Although the remaining money is less, the development of the country is still visible. Money is what is spent, and what is not spent is just waste paper.
”Next, I will announce some new job adjustments. If you have any objections or doubts, you can raise them, and let's discuss them on the spot!” Arthur said seriously.
Upon hearing this, all the ministers were attentive and listened.
”First, abolish the original military ministerial post and change to the secretary of the army and the minister of the navy!”
As soon as Arthur's voice fell, Ishihara Kensaburo frowned, walked out and asked, ”Your Majesty, where is the original military minister Shigekuni Yamamoto?”
”The position of Shigekuni Yamamoto was changed to the captain of the Gotei 13th team!” Arthur said in a deep voice.
”Gotei 13th team?” Ishihara Ken Saburo looked at Arthur with some confusion.
”Yes, Gotei Thirteen Team!” Arthur thought for a while, and explained, ”Gotei Thirteen Team is a secret army newly formed in the kingdom. It is mainly responsible for the safety of an important place. It will not be dispatched in normal times, only It will only be dispatched during the war!”
He can only explain this, he can't say that you can see Gotei 13 after you die, right?
Doesn't that mean that Shigekuni Yamamoto is dead?
Well, although he is really dead, it doesn't seem very good to say that!
”En!” Ishihara Kensaburo nodded and returned to his position. Although he was still a little puzzled, he was pressed down in his heart. When he stepped back, he would ask Arthur again. After all, he belongs to Arthur. Father-in-law, Arthur will explain this to him. 35xs
”Well, if there is nothing wrong, then I will continue?” Arthur scanned the inside of the hall, and no one raised objections, so he continued.
”Bruce, the former commander of the First Army of the Army, was promoted to Secretary of the Army, commanding the entire army. The former Commander of the First Division of the Army, Joyce, was promoted to Commander of the First Army, the former First Army Corps.”
”Former Navy First Fleet Commander Lelis was promoted to Minister of the Navy and commanded the entire navy. The former Navy First Division Commander Uesugi Kenka was promoted to First Fleet Commander, the former Navy First Fleet First Division First Regiment”
After speaking, Arthur slowed down and took a closer look at the people in the hall. No one raised any objections, so he continued, ”Next is the former Sora Island Security Team Captain Gan Fuer, who is promoted to Security. The Minister, the former Deputy Captain of the Sky Island Security Team, Barton, was promoted to the Captain of the Sky Island Security Team!”
