The king's change began with the big victory two months ago.The king not only drove himself to conquer, but even defeated the elite of the demons with a small number of elite soldiers.After that, the king's temperament changed drastically, not only with an extremely firm attitude, but also with extremely cruel means to eliminate the moths from the south.After that bloody night of bloodshed, the king established a strategic goal to regain the south.Zimutuo naturally supported it, and even worked without sleep for nearly a month to help the king reorganize the broken government.At that time, he was really happy and proud from the bottom of his heart. He even felt that the revival of the kingdom was about to begin!
Then not long after, Zimutuo realized that the changes in the king were not all good things.The first is to deal with the government affairs, no longer discussing with the ministers in a rational manner.Instead, he adopted the method of coercion and high pressure, and acted arbitrarily, which caused many ministers to complain.The second is the way of spending money, which has changed from the tight budgeting in the past to the current extravagance and waste.In the past, big meals and fine wines, which were only served when meeting foreign dignitaries, have become a daily staple.Dinner parties became frequent, many of them completely unnecessary.Originally, after announcing the scheduled war against the southern rebellion, the king was still a little worried at first. However, with the formation of the new king, the powerful combat power he showed made the king completely sure of the direction of the war, and he began to expand his territory. Soil idea.This ambition, after the arrival of the group of heroines, the king showed especially clearly.

Just as the minister of justice was struggling secretly, the king said something surprising again: "You two dear ministers, actually, I have asked you to hold this private meeting this time because there is an important matter, and I want to discuss it with the two important ministers of the kingdom in advance."

"Your Majesty, what is the important matter that needs to be kept secret?" Gronny asked with a frown.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please make it clear." Zimutuo, who came back to his senses, also bowed his head and saluted.

"I plan to move the capital to Tulum." The king said the heavy news in a flat tone.

The two ministers were shocked, especially Gronny, who opened his mouth even more.Cold sweat immediately broke out on the forehead of the minister of the monarchy, remembering that he was the one who made this suggestion in the court hall two months ago, he couldn't help but anxiously said: "Your Majesty, I did make this suggestion two months ago. But at that time, the king of the demon clan forced the pass, and the royal city might not be guaranteed! Now that the kingdom has won a great victory, the king of the demon race has also retreated, so there is no need to do this anymore! Your majesty!"

King Esther VI looked at Gronny with a scorched face, and said calmly, "Of course I know the situation. After all, I won this battle with my own hands!"

"Then why does His Majesty still want to move the capital?!" Geroni was a little confused.

Esther VI paused for a moment, looked at the four paintings on the table, and continued: "You two lovers, you should know that this king's capital was built after the demons destroyed the old king's capital. During the counter-offensive, the counter-offensive outpost established evolved, right?"

Gronny nodded, but was still confused.On the other hand, Zimutuo understood a little bit, and he said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean, the current royal city is not suitable to be the capital of the kingdom?!"

"That's exactly what I meant. Um, Chimeduo, you're still mistaken about one thing. That is, after several months of thinking, I think that since the establishment of the capital, the Wangcheng has been a mistake! Since the establishment of the Wangcheng, it has been It should not be used as a capital!"

Gronny frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, this is not right. In the era of the fourth generation, the Royal City was the best city in the world, no one! The public security and infrastructure construction back then are even more so than any other country. It can be achieved! I know that the royal city has been in decline over the years, but that is all due to the good deeds of those shameless southern rats! Now that the whole court is united, under your leadership, we will definitely be able to return to the peak of the past!"

Zimutuo was also a little worried. This plan might be a sudden whim of the king, so he had to advise: "Your Majesty, moving the capital is not a trivial matter, especially when the current situation of the war is stable, we must encourage people to move with the court. I'm afraid it will not be an easy task. Now that Fukou Pass has been taken back, it has also been repaired, and a reliable new monarch has settled in. Your Majesty, you really don't need to waste people and money to start this big project."

"Then if I don't move the capital, what should I do next?" Esther VI smiled lightly, looked at the two confidant ministers, spread his hands, and continued to ask: "Especially when I took the heads of those rebels, After completely taking the southern land into my hands, what will I do next? It will take two months to travel from the capital to the southernmost tip of the southern border, and even if it takes water, it will take almost a month, and it must be the windy season. What will I do? Really control the whole territory?"

"Uh, this..." Gronny originally wanted to make a prince, but when he thought that the king had no blood brothers, even the heirs were still young, especially the prince.The minister of the Junbu lost his mind and couldn't help looking at the minister of justice beside him. To his disappointment, the other party also frowned and said nothing.

Seeing that the two had no advice, King Esther VI continued: "Actually, it's not just a matter of territory. The previous king had planned to move the capital to the south."

"Uh, Your Majesty, you know how the late king did things, and you don't have to follow him in everything, not to mention, the fourth patriarch did not move the capital." Chimedo mentioned the shortcomings of the late king somewhat cryptically, trying to make him The king refrained from following the example of the previous king.

"Hey~!" King Esther VI raised his right hand and shook it, "Of course I understand how the king behaved, but what I want to say is that since the ancestors came down, the king's city has been declining. , the overall financial resources, or the infrastructure in all aspects are far inferior to the original. Don't the two Qing family understand the reason for this?"

"This..." Gronny scratched his hair, a little at a loss. As a big boss with low internal affairs ability, this topic is beyond the outline for him.

Zimmerdo also fell silent. He is not yet 40 years old this year, but he is actually not very clear about the grand occasion of the year.It's just that since he became sensible, he really felt that all aspects of Wangcheng are obviously declining year by year.

Esther VI was a little disappointed, so he couldn't help tapping the table with his fingers a few times, and said loudly, "This is missing!"

The other two people in the hall immediately looked at the table, and couldn't help but say in unison: "Brave?!"

Esther VI nodded, and said: "Back then, there were millions of brave men who came to the world. Their combat power was indeed low, but they could help with the work, and they were willing to do any dirty work! And only a few If you are paid, you will be able to work hard without complaint, and earnestly complete the 'tasks' assigned to them! At the peak of Wangcheng, there were a full 300 million brave men settled in!"

"300 million! My two loves! From cleaning, cleaning up excrement, to planting crops, and product processing, they can work hard with just a little prestige and a little reward! And they don't need to provide housing, let alone They need pensions and overtime pay, they are simply the best workers!" Esther VI sighed.

"Actually, if those brave men can come to Wangcheng again, not to mention millions, even tens of thousands of people can reverse the signs of Wangcheng's decline. Two Qing families, you have lived in Wangcheng since childhood, Wangcheng The decline of the city should be obvious to all. After the disappearance of those brave men, at first, the factory couldn’t hold on anymore. They didn’t have cheap and abundant labor, and they couldn’t even start work. Then the surrounding crops began to shrink, and the land became more and more It is becoming less and less profitable, because the wages of long-term workers are high, and the landlords have no surplus food. As a result, these landlords have embroiled their property, sold their fields at a low price, and developed to the middle or even the south of the kingdom. After that, the food in Wangcheng will only be I can rely on various places to buy, and even the cities of Doport and Simika outside the customs have more than one escape due to lack of food, and finally completely declined before I ascended the throne. It should have been provided as the acropolis of the royal city Extra defenses end up being cumbersome."

Gronny nodded in agreement. The two cities of Dauperte and Simika were used as the vanguard bases of the Jinjun during the Jihad of the Fourth World.After the end of the war, it was established as a defensive fortress to resist the possible demon kings.However, with the decline of the royal city and even the entire kingdom, the population of these two cities has decreased year by year, and the city defenses have gradually become old and cannot be repaired.When the Demon King Maharaja attacked the city of Simika last time, the city wall even collapsed, leading to a rapid fall.

Originally, Geroni had planned to propose rebuilding the two cities after the end of the southern rebellion war. Seeing that the king even planned to lose the royal city, he couldn't help being anxious, and said, "Your Majesty, if the capital of the royal city is moved, So what about Fukou Pass? What about the land outside the pass? Should we just give up?!"

Esther VI shook his head and said with a regretful tone: "I know that you have the idea to rebuild the two cities destroyed by the demons. But, I officially tell you that I will not rebuild them, at least not in the near future After all, the king is gone, and they don't need to serve as the acropolis to help the king's city to share the pressure."

"But..." Gronny's heart tightened, and he wanted to speak eagerly, but he couldn't think of any words to refute.

Esther VI interrupted the speech of the minister of the monarchy: "After the relocation of the royal capital, the current royal city is completely qualified as a fortress established on the basis of Fukou Pass, and it can even greatly reduce the supply pressure of the kingdom as a whole! After all, the royal city There are not enough farmers in the surrounding area, and there is not enough food production, and there has not been a year in the ten years since I became the throne that I have not been anxious about this matter!"

Chimedo thought about it carefully, and felt that what the king said was very reasonable. The food in the royal city was increasing every year, but the tax revenue in the past was unchanged all the year round, and the annual income of the people was the same. Leading to the decline of the royal city.If the king hadn't cut off this vicious circle, Zimutuo even worried that it would be difficult for the throne of the Kingdom of Grande to be passed on to the next king smoothly.
