Da Mao Wang was sitting next to Wu Fu. After being baptized by the black abyss, she seemed very calm when she heard about this.
"That's right."
Wu Fu was a little helpless. Compared with military power, the royal power and the Senate had absolute ruling power and could easily deprive him of his official position. If he dared to object, someone would soon replace him.
With a clang, Su Xiao threw a dagger on the table in front of Wu Fu.
"Tell a lie, point a finger."
Su Xiao crossed her fingers and looked at Wu Fu with a smile.
Wulf hesitated for a moment and picked up the dagger on the table.
"wait……"
Poof!
A drop of blood splashed onto King Dumao's face.
The dagger sank into the wooden table, and blood spread on the wood grain. The pale Wolf let go of the dagger and picked up the little finger that was still bleeding on the table.
"It's 90%, sir. In addition to the frontier fortress, we can still maintain it. We can't bear it anymore. The weapons and armor are seriously worn out. The horses and war beasts also need to be replaced. Give us 20%. If you want, I will give you 20%."
I can give it to you."
Wu Fu didn't care about the bloody left hand, and the four army commanders all lowered their heads.
"Tomorrow morning, go to the Ministry of Finance to advance one year's military expenses."
Su Xiao tapped her fingers on the table, not caring about the smell of blood in the room.
"Then our share is 20%..."
Wulf spoke in a low voice and pushed away the guard who was about to bandage his wound.
"all."
Su Xiao's words made Wu Fu feel like he was struck by lightning.
"At least, give me 10%."
"..."
Su Xiao frowned. The level of corruption among imperial officials was beyond his expectation. People like Bloomer actually left only 10% of the military budget. The other party would definitely be corrupt, but it would not be exaggerated to that extent.
, As for the remaining share, do you even need to think about it? The remaining 15 elders are not easy to feed. The military can get 10% which is good. The year before last, the military only received 6% of the military expenditure. The corruption is far greater than people think.
Even scarier.
"I mean, all the military expenditures advanced this time will be invested in your side, 60% will be allocated to border fortresses, and 40% will be used to train new soldiers, replace armors, weapons, war beasts, solace money, etc.
If there is a problem, I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs."
Su Xiao raised her head outside the window, meaning that if there was a problem with the military budget, Wu Fu would be chopped into pieces and fed to the hounds in the courtyard.
Wu Fu and the four legion commanders looked at Su Xiao in astonishment, unable to recover for a while.
"Master Cuculin, are you writing an approval document? After all..."
Wu Fu seemed to be afraid that Su Xiao would regret it, so he actually asked for approval on the spot.
"The approval document has been sent to the Ministry of Finance. The Senate will hold its nose and guarantee that if there are no problems, the military funds will arrive in three to five days."
Although Su Xiao now needs money to buy connections, he will not start with the military. He has just taken over the military power. If he wants to convince these army commanders as quickly as possible, he must spread money downwards and use the power of money to defeat them.
These people.
Wu Fu was indeed knocked down by money, and the pain in his hand was no longer important. Facts have proved that the method of hitting a stick and giving sweet dates can be used everywhere.
"Sir, do you have some conflicts with Elder Bloomer?"
Wu Fu said in his heart that he didn't hate Su Xiao. That was a lie. Su Xiao's understatement took away one of his fingers. But now, he must not let Su Xiao be in danger, at least not until the military funds arrive, and not later.
No, if he can get full military expenditure for three consecutive years, he can beat the shit out of those barbarians on the border, and the sea people can step on the ground and rub them at will.
"how?"
Su Xiao was checking the intelligence fed back by Bubo Wang. When he heard Wufu's words, he closed the team communication channel.
"My subordinates want to garrison troops near this manor, 500 elite troops, no, 800! Look..."
"It's up to you. I'm in urgent need of hiring people recently. Help me get some capable people. Their character doesn't matter, but their background must be clean."
Su Xiao urgently needs someone who knows all the forces in the Holy City and a few thugs. The more capable they are, the better.
"Leave it to me. The garrison and the people you need will be here tomorrow morning at the latest."
Wu Fu whispered something to the guard behind him, and the guard nodded repeatedly.
Da Mao Wang glanced at the severed finger on the table, and then at Wu Fu, who was full of joy. She thought of her former courtiers for a moment, which made her a little doubtful about life. She was much fairer than Su Xiao at the beginning, but she
But was betrayed.
"That's all for today."
Su Xiao sat back on the seat. Commander Wu Fu and the four army commanders stood up and quickly left the manor.
…
In the Senate House, in a somewhat dark room, candlelight flickered.
"Bloomer, five commitments and two left."
A slightly hoarse voice came, and it sounded like a woman.
"There is only one time left. Help me get rid of Kuculin White Night, tonight."
Bloomer, who was wearing a loose purple nightgown and sitting in the dark, spoke. He had lost so miserably during the day, and of course he would not give up.
"Kukulin Baiye? Have you never heard of this person, the extraordinary being who is hostile to you?"
The husky woman was also sitting in the darkness. Looking at her figure, she was about 1.7 meters tall, with a medium to thin build. A silver earring flashed brilliantly in the darkness.
"Not an extraordinary person, but a royal family."
"Are you crazy? Kill the royal family?"
The husky woman was a little shocked, and suddenly she sat upright.
"Don't you dare? Are you afraid of the notorious Flesh Banquet?"
Bloomer chuckled. This was not the first time he had sent people to assassinate the royal family.
"Don't provoke me. After helping you do this, we won't owe each other anything. How is his strength?"
The husky woman snorted coldly. She had already thought that there would be trouble in owing favors to this old fox.
"I've told you, it's a royal family. Have you ever heard of a strong royal family except that crazy woman Sayato? Ken Lahan next to him is very troublesome. Just be careful with him."
"Indeed, but Ken Lahan is old. The affinity between the extraordinary and the eternal power will decrease rapidly with age. Even if he was once very strong, he is just a bad old man now. In one hour at the latest, I
Bringing the head of that royal family, the key is not to plot against me behind my back."
As soon as the hoarse woman finished speaking, the window of the room opened, the night wind blew the curtains, and she disappeared silently.
"Ken Lahan is old? I hope so."
Bloomer blew out the candle and the room became dark.
…
In the empty conference hall, Su Xiao's legs were resting on the long table, with a cigarette in his mouth. He was watching a live broadcast of a 'Love Ethics | Action Blockbuster' on his tablet. The male protagonist was Duke Yinyu, also
It is one of the four power seizers, and the heroine is the other person's biological sister, Maggie Willie.
Su Xiao felt that Duke Yinyu was a little suspicious. He had already had eight women between six o'clock and ten o'clock in the evening. He should not be called Duke Yinyu, but Duke Iron Shen.
Su Xiao closed the image on the tablet. So far, he had roughly understood the information of the three power grabbers. As for the last duke, the little guy was only nine years old. His father was once the most advantageous power grabber and was later assassinated.
In my bedroom.
Boom, boom. Boom.
There was a knock on the door, and a maid pushed a dining cart into the meeting hall. Su Xiao stretched out, and the person he was waiting for arrived.
