Chapter 135: Your Majesty, there is no money!
Chapter 135 Your Majesty, I'm out of money!
In this way, after two days of continuous rotation, Edward finally finished the general content of the central government and judicial reform. The next specific results will depend on the actual situation.
Breathed out lightly, Edward was tired inside at this moment.
He is not worried about the reform of the Privy Council, mainly judicial reform, which is the real key.
But there is no need to worry too much, the judicial power has always been in the hands of the king, and there is no possibility of any mistakes!
In general, Edward now just needs to wait.
Thinking again and again, Edward closed his eyes comfortably, lying on the recliner with his body relaxed, enjoying the rare sunshine.
Who knew, Edward, who had just squinted for a while, felt that the sun had disappeared, and the warm smell on his body had left again.
Opened a crack slightly, he felt a person in front of him, then he closed his eyes again, and started the journey of rest.
"Your Majesty, wake up! Your Majesty—" Luna's gentle voice sounded in his ears, and he also smelled a girl's unique fragrance in his nose, which was particularly pleasing, and Edward couldn't help sniffing it lightly again.
The girl's voice was gentle, and her movements were also gentle. She gently shook Edward's shoulders, her blond hair was scattered, and a few strands of hair dangled around Edward's nose from time to time.
Edward couldn't bear it anymore, this itching was the most uncomfortable.
"Ah cut—" Edward suddenly jumped forward, and there was a burst of thunder.
"Puff—Your Majesty, I knew you were pretending to be asleep, come on, get up!"
The girl couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud, but she held it back afterwards because she knew she couldn't embarrass His Majesty the King.
Edward was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't see anything except his face was a little rosy.
"Ahem, Luna, what can I do for you?" Edward said calmly, trying his best to ignore what happened just now.
Since Edward came to the throne, Luna can be said to be the chief housekeeper of the palace. She is usually busy and manages Edward's account books, which is difficult for her.
Luna flicked the long golden hair that floated to her forehead, and Qingrou's body straightened a little, but the bulge in front became more obvious.
Looking at the little maid whose temperament has been sublimated, Edward is very moved. She has grown up and shouldered more and more responsibilities for herself, and the European school in front has become more and more large-scale, and the girls are growing fast.
Edward didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, but Luna looked at it and felt that there was something, yes, wretched.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to pay attention to the royal family's income!"
Although Lucy felt something was wrong, she still said that it was her duty.
"Oh! Yes, yes, how about the royal family?" Edward's gaze finally passed over the girl's body and shifted to her face.
Luna suddenly felt her body relaxed a lot, and her beautiful eyebrows relaxed for a while.
Immediately, he seemed to think of the report in his hand again, and Lao Gao frowned again.
"Your Majesty, the royal family has recently added a lot of expenditure due to the expansion of the Guards and government reform. The Minister of Royal Affairs has communicated with him, and he has no money!"
"However, the monthly income brought by the fire wine and the tavern to the royal family has become increasingly stable, only about 10,000 pounds!"
"And there are 3,000 troops stationed in Scotland, and the monthly cost is close to 5,000 pounds!"
"Government staff salaries, as well as guard salaries, if you add the extra staff salaries after your reform, three months later, the royal family will face a situation of no money!"
Luna said earnestly, as if imagining the embarrassment of having no money three months later, and the blue and lovely eyes lost their former water spirit.
"Really? Money wasted so fast! It's such a sad thing!"
Edward held his forehead with his right hand, his face was very surprised, with an expression of not being hurt.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you don't know how hard you spend money!"
Looking at Edward with a hurt expression, instead of comforting him, Luna raised her fingers and counted them one by one.
"A few months ago, you drew a thousand pounds to make paper and said it would be of great use!"
"And then you spend a few hundred pounds to buy the theater, plus your usual rewards, this is not a small expense!"
"And we have to transfuse blood for the Dark Blade, which costs nearly a thousand pounds a month!"
………
So, with Luna's explanations one by one, Edward finally found that the money he had saved in the past few years was almost used up, especially for the army. The monthly salary alone consumes 10,000 pounds, plus food and drink. , firearms and ammunition, clothes, this is a bottomless pit.
It’s no wonder that few kings established a standing army in the past. The parliament and the nobles are the same. I am afraid that lack of money is the most important thing.
This is because of Edward’s savings. During his father Henry VIII’s lifetime, he spent more than a thousand pounds on clothes every month, and there were constant hunting parties. The royal family was almost in deficit every month.
"Okay, got it!" Just as Luna was talking dry, Edward finally interrupted her.
Edward stopped Luna's financial report. He felt that his ears couldn't bear it, just like dozens of sparrows, and it was annoying.
Luna is good at everything, but she is long-winded, and she can't stop talking. If you don't stop her, she can keep talking all afternoon.
"Okay, I see, someone will send money over after a while!"
Edward stopped Luna's question about coming out with an affirmative tone.
He patted the chair and motioned for Luna to sit down. What mood would a girl who could be anxious sit down? She could only blink her beautiful eyes, waiting for Edward to speak next.
Edward was a little puzzled by Luna, making him look like a liar.
"Didn't I meet a Hanseatic merchant last time?"
Seeing that Luna nodded, Edward continued.
"He said that he would buy 500,000 pounds of sea salt from us in the future, at six shillings per pound!"
"In this way, we will have an income of 250,000 pounds, which I think will be enough for us for a while!"
Edward's somewhat pale face revealed a trace of complacency, this is indeed a delicacy delivered.
"I think no one dares to deceive the King of England!"
"Oh! This is really great. Then, Your Majesty, I will first inform Sir John and ask him to give orders. It is time to start preparations for the manors everywhere!"
Luna's face was filled with joy, she bowed to Edward, and walked away with light steps.
"This—" I haven't met Luna in detail for a long time, and Edward is ready to communicate with her. Who knew this girl would run so fast.
Edward sighed helplessly in his heart.
