Chapter 106 (1/2)
”My king, this matter has seriously affected the future development of the Manyu wrestling industry. If it is not careful, it will cause a fatal blow to the whole industry. The slave industry has been seriously affected. If the fighting industry is affected again, our fiscal deficit will be further enlarged, and the whole military leader will be in danger.”
He was a middle-aged man with gray temples. His body shape was polarized with Duke bog. He was very tall and thin. He was like a bamboo pole in clothes, which could be blown away by a gust of wind.
This man, named mingweilang, is the chancellor of the exchequer of Duke bog. He has been following him for more than ten years, just in his early 40s. He looks like a little old man in his fifties and sixties.
In other territories, the chancellor of the exchequer has always been a fat man. On the contrary, this is a big steamer, and everyone who goes up there is grilled on the fire.
The serious fiscal deficit is a problem left to him by Duke Borg's father, and Duke bog himself is not the owner of wealth. In the first few years, he did not fill in the vacancy, but became bigger. In a few years, he was replaced by four or five finance ministers.
Mingweilang is the longest in office and the most capable. It took less than 10 years to fill the huge fiscal deficit, which has turned a young man into a little old man.
Because of his hard work, he won the trust of Duke Borg.
If we continue to develop in accordance with the original momentum, in three or two years' time, we will be able to make up for the deficit completely and breathe a sigh of relief.
However, in an eastern expedition, a big fire in Bastille made a pot of porridge for the whole leader of the army of Manyu. What turned into porridge together was the financial affairs of the leader.
The financial recession caused by the war, the deadly slave industry, the war funds All this made mingweilang in a mess.
Patriam was not the real driving force behind the trade with the Legion. Although he was in Bastille, he was still controlled by the generals directly appointed by the Duke of bog. He did not have such great power and courage to conduct large-scale trade with the enemy.
In the Manyu army, the only one who dared to do this and could do it was Duke Borg.
The biggest promoter of the establishment of commercial road was the tall and thin man, the finance minister of Manyu army leader, Ming Weilang.
Ming Wei Lang is a firm supporter of economic theory. What does a military leader rely on?
Army?
No, it's a big mistake.
It's money. It's finance.
If you don't have enough money, how can you support so many people? How to recruit so many troops? How to equip so many troops?
No matter how powerful an army is, without financial support and logistical supplies, a dragon must become a snake.
The two pillar industries, the slave trade, suffered a fatal impact. The whole territory was in a mess of gruel, and the wrestling industry fell into depression. Most of the territory was in semi desert and semi Gobi, neither suitable for planting in the plain area of Asia Minor, nor rich in minerals like the kart hills.
The only thing that can make up one's mind is the Andes mountains. At this time, the eternal night army comes forward, which is hard to get. What's more, the other side really has good things in their hands.
In the face of the deficit crisis of the military leader and the threat of retirement from the chancellor of the exchequer, even if the Duke of bog was no longer willing to bow his head and be soft, and to have contact with the eternal night legion, who had just made a hole in his own pocket, could only recognize it with his nose.
With the new business road, together with the patchwork of the eastern wall and the mending of the wall, it was not easy for Duke bog to calm down the civil strife in the territory, and the fighting competition was held again, which attracted many lords and nobles from other territories. The new capital injection made Ming Weilang's life a little better.
However, in less than three days, a single moth appeared in the wrestling industry. Some radicals and conservatives were created. The two sides were in a state of irreconcilable quarrel, which almost blew up the finance minister Ming Weilang, leader of Manyu army.
In the future of the fighting industry, it's the Duke of Borg's business to decide what the leaders of their slave owners do. What they need to do is to maintain the stability and prosperity of the industry and create more wealth and taxes. This is the best choice for them and for the territory.
What makes mingweilang even more angry is that Duke Borg has already got the news, but he doesn't intervene.
”Don't be impatient! Don't be impatient! Don't be impatient! Angry body, who is in charge of my finance? The fiscal deficit is not terrible. What's terrible is that if you don't have your honor, please come and bring a chair for Mr. Ming Wei Lang
The Duke of Borg was not stingy in his respect for the loyal minister who devoted himself to his territory.
”No, I'm fine standing like this!”
The chancellor of the exchequer, Ming Wei Lang, was not relieved. He was the only one who dared to speak to Duke bog in this tone.
”When you're recovering from a serious illness, you'd better take a rest and sit down!”
Duke Borg was not annoyed, but he still ordered a stool to be moved.
”Thank you, my Lord.”
Ming Wei Lang just took the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction. He didn't really fight with Duke Borg. He realized that many years ago, otherwise he would not have been in this seat for so many years.Don't take yourself seriously.
Ming Wei Lang never thought that he was irreplaceable in Manyu army leader. When he did, he was not far away from the grave.
”I know what you are worried about. Don't worry. The situation will not deteriorate to that extent for a while and a half.”
Duke Borg looked like a wise pearl in his hand. ”Haven't you noticed that the financial revenue has soared recently? In particular, it's about the draw in the contest
”It's a 20% increase compared to the previous period.”
A lot of financial figures were made by him and sent to Duke bog. Mingweilang knew everything about finance.
”However, it is not advisable to kill the chicken and get the egg.”
Duke Borg quickly let the fat hide a pair of small eyes flash through a fierce light, waved his hand.
”It doesn't matter. We will enter the finals in a few more rounds. This year's wrestling competition can be concluded perfectly. Let them jump for a few more days. After the fight is over, we will clean them up. At that time, we will let them know who is the real ruler of the Manyu army.”
Obviously, the supreme ruler of Manyu army leader didn't respond to the incident, instead, he directly stabbed his lung tube.
One of the two pillar industries led by Manyu's army has been broken. He will never allow another accident to happen again. Regardless of the radical or the conservative, they are both disasters in his eyes, and they have become the moths in the fighting industry and must be cleaned up.
The reason why he forbearance now is that he doesn't want to destroy the holding of the wrestling contest. When the contest is over, it is also the moment when Manyu army leads the wrestling industry into a big cleaning up.
The list in his hands will be the focus of his cleansing.
”Your Majesty knows the best. I'm worried about it.”
Hearing the speech, mingweilang's face suddenly looked much better. As long as Duke Borg didn't give up his hand completely, although there was a crisis in the wrestling industry, it was far from imminent.
And the next few rounds will be the most exciting and hot one this year. He is not interested in the duels, but he is interested in the large amount of taxes generated by the hot competitions.
