In this world, abilities and responsibilities are equal. The more you enjoy something, the more you have to bear the price. Everything has a price tag secretly, and the choice is just up to the individual.
A rich person may have a dazzling array of products in front of him, and he can afford a higher price, so he has more choices. A poor person, on the other hand, may only have a few choices in his life.
Becoming the emperor of a country can control powerful power, enjoy countless wealth, and have all kinds of beautiful women.
But similarly, becoming the emperor of an empire must also bear corresponding obligations. While enjoying it, he also needs to pay a certain price and shoulder some responsibilities that did not need to be reduced in the past.
At this moment, Lions II of the Lions Empire deeply felt the responsibility of an emperor: before he had time to enjoy himself, he had to work hard for the sustainable development of a country.
"Are you kidding! What do you mean the palace has no money to repair? This is how you used to prevaricate my father when he was in power last year, and now you are using the same reason to prevaricate me!" Above the main hall of the Lions Empire, Lions
The second one was roaring non-stop.
He was really angry because his ministers once again rejected his plan to increase the budget and build a new palace.
So he was very angry and felt that these ministers were making things difficult for him: "My palace has not been repaired in several years, and no furnishings have been added. Even the number of attendants and maids has been cut in half!"
Since he took the throne, he has spent nearly a billion dollars, but not a penny of it has been spent on the emperor's enjoyment.
The Lions Empire is making every effort to rebuild its fleet, and is also building coastal defenses and adding airports for jet fighters... and most of this money is borrowed.
That's right, borrowed! In fact, the Lions Empire did not have so much money to rearm itself. Lions II asked many merchants and nobles to borrow money, and the way to repay them was to sell their official titles and taxes from the areas under the jurisdiction of these nobles.
To put it bluntly, in order to revitalize national defense and quickly restore war capabilities, the Lions Empire overdrawn the economy in the next few decades...or, in other words, overdrawn the life of the country in the next few decades.
But after paying such a high price and relinquishing a lot of his power, Lions II found that he was still not qualified for pleasure - this was a great shame for an emperor who killed his father and came to power.
If he had known it was such a mess, why would he be so eager to "kill" his father, climb to this position, and then be bullied and laughed at?
It is precisely because he did not wait for the good days he expected, but instead was burdened by national affairs, that is why he was so out of control at this moment, shouting angrily at everyone: "Have you ever considered my feelings? I
He is the emperor of this empire! If he is so shabby, do we still need the majesty of this empire? Ah? Do we still need it?"
"Your Majesty, calm down! We have no choice but to purchase machine tools, equipment, and a new auto parts production factory from the Tang Empire. It has been finalized. This money was allocated by your personal order..." The newly appointed prime minister
He lowered his head and went out to persuade His Majesty the Emperor.
Lions II interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and did not follow the Prime Minister's behavior at all: "Don't scare me with this! I know this matter, the total value is 170 million, of course I know! In addition to this, there are also
have what?"
After hearing the emperor's question, the prime minister bravely introduced the country's expenses: "Seeing that spring has arrived, the country has begun to encourage farmers. This is the tradition of the empire, and it is also the good governance that began to emerge when we studied the system of the Tang Empire. The entire
In the spring, about 15 million yuan in farming subsidies will be distributed..."
"So much? Isn't it just farming? Why do we need to allocate so much money? Can't it be streamlined?" When mentioning this, Lions II began to feel pain. The equipment he agreed to purchase from the Tang Empire could not be
It is easy to change, but this policy of encouraging farmers can be discussed and discussed.
"Your Majesty! This must not be done! The reason why the Tang Empire was strong was because of its agricultural self-sufficiency. The annual food output was frighteningly high, so the population could grow..." Seeing that Lions II was trying to touch his own cake,
I mean, the Minister of Agriculture immediately came out to advise him, which is called a righteous and strict statement.
Lions II was not a fatuous emperor. After hearing what the minister said, he thought it made sense, so he ignored the agricultural expenses and continued to ask: "In addition to the agricultural allocation, other projects cannot be squeezed out."
Can you give me some money so that I can repair my palace?"
He felt that he was really miserable. After he ascended the throne, he didn't even have the money to build a new palace. His father had enjoyed the new palace for several years.
He was still young at that time, and his father was still the king of the Wright Empire. At that time, they moved their capital to Lanes and lived in the brand new palace built by the Datang Group for the new emperor.
To this day, he still remembers the feeling of happiness when he saw the new palace. It was really majestic and a beautiful palace that made people want to own it.
But now, more than ten years have passed. The exterior walls of the once magnificent palace have begun to peel off after being exposed to wind and rain. The furniture in the palace has begun to become outdated, and even the decoration style has lost its luster.
Popularity.
How does this fit in with his status as Emperor of the Lions Empire? How does this reflect his temperament as Emperor Lions II? He must renovate his palace, because this is the tradition for the new emperor to ascend the throne.
When the Lions Empire was still the Wright Kingdom, there was such a tradition! When a new king takes the throne, he must repair his palace to prove his wealth and demonstrate his control over the country.
As a result, it had been more than two months since he ascended the throne as Lions II and proclaimed himself emperor, but his idea of repairing the palace still could not be implemented.
The finance minister said he had no money, and the prime minister also blocked it, which directly led to the conflict between the imperial prime minister and the emperor. If it weren't for this reason, he would not risk the world's disapproval to assassinate the prime minister.
But after overcoming all the opponents, he found that he still did not have enough funds to squander and waste.
At that moment, he began to envy Tang Mo, the emperor of the Tang Empire: I heard that Tang Mo had almost inexhaustible funds to spend as he pleased.
I heard that the Forbidden City in the Tang Empire had funds for repairs every year, and that the Tang Emperor enjoyed most of the buildings alone. I heard that several of the palaces in the Tang Empire were so magnificent that everyone there was
The ornaments are all treasures, and they are divine items that cannot be bought outside.
