The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

"And then there are the pensions for casualties and wounded soldiers who have been fighting in the past few years..."

"The reconstruction project in the elf province..."

Hearing this one by one, Luo Ji was sweating profusely as he sat there. This was just the expenditure over the past two years. He usually only cared about spending money, but now he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

The whole person unconsciously took two steps, and then helped Ye Qingxuan hold Ye Qingxuan's shoulders...

"Uh, Qingxuan, can't you spare a sum of money?"

In this regard, Ye Qingxuan moved her body and enjoyed Luo Ji's shoulder-squeezing service, while she pondered for a while, and then said quite simply...

"It's not impossible, but if you want to free up funds, I'm afraid you have to stop several ongoing projects."

Hearing this, Luo Ji thought about it for a while, but Ye Qingxuan was usually responsible for this job, and now he really couldn't think of which one to stop.

In the end, I had no choice but to throw the question back.

"So, Qingxuan, which one do you think is more appropriate to stop?"

Regarding this, Ye Qingxuan showed an expression of "I knew it" on her face, and then said again...

"How about temporarily stopping the construction of the Great Wall and the cities along the Yangtze River?"

While speaking, Ye Qingxuan unhurriedly flipped through a document and handed it to Luo Ji.

Stopping the movement of his hands, Luo Ji who took over the document quickly flipped through it.

The content inside is the expenditure report of the two major projects.

It is no exaggeration to say that basically every quarter, an astronomical amount has to be spent. The number is so long that Luo Jishu doesn't even want to count it.

Probably guessing what he was thinking, Ye Qingxuan who was sitting there said unhurriedly...

"After the start of the war, I have already reduced the funds for these two major projects three times, but you have also seen that even so, the expenditures for each quarter are still surprisingly high."

"The Great Wall has now crossed the entire western border, and is now being built to the northwest. There are many hills and mountains in that area, which makes construction more difficult and costs more. If you want to connect to the northern border, It’s probably impossible without a few years, so I don’t think it’s too urgent, it’s better to stop it first and move the funds to more important projects.”

Speaking of this, Ye Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to speak...

"The city construction project on the Yangtze River is similar. According to the size of the city, it will take ten years to start. Now the foundation has just been laid. If the construction continues, the fiscal expenditure figures every quarter will be quite large."

At this moment, Luo Ji had an idea in mind.

Regarding the Great Wall, he is actually quite urgent, after all, the effect bonus can be said to be quite attractive.

Considering his current situation, the sooner the Great Wall is built, the more at ease he will be.

So, after careful consideration, Luo Ji spoke resolutely...

"How about this, let the construction of the city on the Yangtze River be temporarily suspended, and on the Great Wall, after that, the quarterly funding will be reduced by one-fifth, and let them build slowly."

Chapter 1375, Respective Abacus

Starting from the next quarter, the temporary suspension of the construction project on the Yangtze River, coupled with the reduction of the construction project cost of the Great Wall, allowed Luo Ji to manage to set aside a very considerable amount of funds.

After that, Luo Ji found a time and called the three pillars of the Ordnance Research Department, Michelle Ye, Jiang Zhan, and Bart Wildhammer.

According to the talents of the three of them in the field of ordnance, as soon as the design drawing of the goblin steam mech was taken out, the three of them took a few glances, and they clearly realized the power and precision of this weapon!

For people like them, this blueprint is simply too precious.

Among them, Jiang Zhan, who is a goblin, is the most emotional. What they goblins are best at is developing such sophisticated instruments.

Michelle Ye's eyes were shining, while Bart Wildhammer's main attention was on the weapons and equipment of the goblin steam mech.

For these three people, Luo Ji almost showed his 12 points of patience.

After the three of them had read all the thick stack of design drawings, Luo Ji asked unhurriedly...

"How? Are you sure you can make it?"

Facing this question, it was Jiang Zhan, the deputy minister, who answered at this time.

After all, this is the special equipment of their goblin clan, and it is also his field of expertise, so he is naturally the one with the most say among the three.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, judging from the design drawing alone, there are many technical difficulties in it, but..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhan pondered for a while, and then spoke again...

"However, it's not the kind of difficulty that can't be overcome at all. Wei Chen already has a few preliminary ideas in his mind, and this design drawing can be said to be extremely detailed, which can definitely greatly improve the research and development efficiency and As for the success rate, as for the specific results, we will not know until we have done it.”

Luo Ji was quite satisfied with this answer, at least it made him feel quite hopeful.

"Well, you can prepare slowly first. If you need any manpower, just ask. I'll ask the HR department to transfer it to you. As for the research funding, the Ministry of Finance will allocate it from the next quarter."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will never disappoint Your Majesty's expectations!"

After repeatedly responding, Michelle Ye, Jiang Zhan and Bart Wildhammer couldn't wait to go back and study the design.

Regarding this, Luo Ji didn't keep them any longer, everyone's time was precious, and after that, he also had other things to be busy with.

The research and development project of the goblin steam mecha undoubtedly accounted for a large part of the funds freed up, but not all of it was used.

For the remaining points, Luo Ji confirmed the ratio and transferred them to the Academy of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Agriculture respectively.

After all, after he unpacked this wave, the Institute of Science and Technology also had an additional "radar" research and development project, and the Ministry of Agriculture also had to allocate manpower to study the cultivation and planting of hybrid rice.

And during this period, every disbursement and transfer of all funds will be subject to the double supervision of the Ministry of Finance and the Department of Der Spiegel, and every single item must be recorded and registered.

In fact, it's been done this way before.

It's just that, after the previous corruption case, Luo Ji's investigation became more stringent, and Der Spiegel naturally kept a closer eye on it.

At the same time, on the other side, as the season officially entered winter, Luo Ji's reply was also sent to the big cannibal players and Raksha players on the same continent.

After reading the reply letter in his hand, holding the highlighted map, as one of the silver-ranked players of the Raksha Iron Wings, Ivan Vladimid, whose body can be called a burly man, had a bruise on his face. His expression seemed a little meaningful.

Although he looks like a character with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, but how simple can a person who can get into this rank be so simple?

The other party declined his invitation on the grounds that he needed a rest.

He can be said to be very clear about the minds of the players facing the Celestial Dynasty. The other party probably wants them to fight with the group of Europeans, while he stands by and watches the show.

Regarding this point, Luo Ji didn't want to hide it. Anyway, this meaning can't be hidden at all. As long as the other party is not stupid, they should be able to think of it.

Facts have proved that this is true, and Ivan Vladimid was not surprised by this, because he would do the same if it were him.

However, that Celestial Man clearly miscalculated their strength.

Although from the perspective of the entire player group, the Europa player group and the Tianchao player group are indeed larger than players from other countries.

But one by one to compete for strength, as an old player of the silver rank, Ivan Vladimid does not think that his strength will be weaker than Europa players.

Moreover, the other party probably doesn't know that on this continent, there are not only four of them in the player camp...

In addition to the Celestial Dynasty players, Europa players, Rakshasa players, and Dashi players, further north on this continent, there is also a player from the Great Qin camp, and that is Aetius Frank from the Imperial Alliance!

Now look at the pattern of this continent.

Luo Ji, who was beaten by three Europa players earlier, his Myriad Worlds civilization undoubtedly appeared in the central area of ​​this continent.

And through Luo Ji's 'friendship' reminder, Ivan Vladimir has confirmed that Raymond Southy and Robert Smith are in the north.

Under this premise, he and another big cannibal player occupied the east and west areas respectively.

Now let them do a simple exclusion method, Charlie Klumber is not in the north, not in the west, and not in the east, so it will only be in the south...

According to that position, with the territory of a Chinese player in the middle, it is impossible for Charlie Kelumbell to support Raymond Southey and Robert Smith.

Although the other party made it clear that they wanted to watch the show, considering the geographical location, the reality was that the other party had to help them block Charlie Klumber.

Thinking of this, Ivan Vladimid's mood suddenly became a little better.

After all, no one likes to have a bastard paddling next to them when they are fighting the enemy to death. Although that bastard may not be their ally, this situation is just annoying.

During this period, being able to leave some things for Luo Ji to do was really a happy thing.

However, Ivan Vladimid would never have imagined that Charlie Klumber was finished a few months ago in midsummer, and he committed suicide with a gun after being forced to the end...

Chapter 1376, Winter

This winter, Luo Ji's Myriad Worlds Civilization can be said to have lived quite comfortably. Together with Luo Ji himself, the whole person was quite relaxed.

According to the information sent back by the elf druids, Raymond Southey and Robert Smith have been extremely busy in recent months.

At the same time, he has successfully mastered the specific positions of the cannibal player and the Raksha player.

This kind of thing is very simple for the civilization of the world.

It is only necessary to send a few elf druids to follow up quietly when the scout on the opposite side withdraws with his reply letter.

Although the other party walked around a few times decently in order to hide their whereabouts, and at the same time showed considerable vigilance, but for the elf druid who had mastered the aerial vision, that approach really didn't make much sense.

Of course, more detailed information has to be inquired slowly, and there is no rush. Now it is only necessary to mark the map locations of the two players on the map.

And during this time, as the three of the Brotherhood who shared the map with him.

The three of them who had just stepped into this battlefield were naturally busy sending out scouts to open their sights.

Song Hui and Ke Xiuwen were lucky, they were randomly thrown to the same continent by the system.

On that continent, two foreign players have already been marked by them. However, no players from Europa have been found. It is impossible to fight in that continent in a short time.

In comparison, as the third person, Liang Cheng was a little sad, but this was also because of the particularity of his own territory, he turned out to be an island country.

The entire territory is directly an archipelago, and the sea power should be good. In the past few months, they have been busy clearing the sea vision, and there is no trace of other players for the time being.

It is indeed very efficient for multiple players to start at the same time and open up their field of vision.

However, for Luo Ji, the peripheral field of vision is not very meaningful.

On the one hand, he generally doesn't need to go there, and on the other hand, according to his current situation, it is the right thing to focus on building battleships and explosive troops, and it is impossible to go outside to mess around.

In this way, now let us temporarily turn our perspective back to the civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms.

Now on this continent, the entire empire of Charlie Klumber has been officially taken over by Luo Ji.

As Charlie Klumber's accumulated arms inventory for decades, it was naturally all cheaper than Luo Ji.

At the same time, Luo Ji's Myriad Realms civilization gained a large population and cheap labor.

In addition, the ready-made arsenals, production lines, and resource collection factories within the empire are undoubtedly extremely valuable gains.

Of course, there are actually a lot of troubles...

At this moment, in a certain city of the Southern Empire, the situation was in chaos, and dense gunshots echoed on the streets.

A group of Europa men in shabby clothes and rifles in their hands kept shooting at a group of southern border soldiers who were patrolling in the distance.

"Damn it, it's these bastards again!"

As a soldier of the regular army, after realizing that he was attacked, he found the bunker almost immediately.

A firefight on the street was like something out of a movie.

Amidst the dense gunshots, a flying arrow directly pierced the throat of one of the Europas.

Looking at the fallen corpse, the other Europa people were startled, and then shouted...

"Retreat! Quickly retreat! The reinforcements on the opposite side are here!!"

Hearing this, the group of Europas broke into pieces in an instant, and rushed into the surrounding alleys.

At that time, the Windrunner troops who were hiding in the buildings on both sides of the street launched a pursuit immediately.

Relying on his swift agility, Owen leaped between the buildings.

Seeing an opportunity, the galloping Owen quickly bent his bow and set his arrow. However, at the moment when the sharp arrow was about to leave the string, Owen stopped his movements, and the expression on his face showed a trace of annoyed.

The target he was chasing down just now passed through a short alley and rushed into the crowd in the next street...

Similar things have been repeated in various imperial cities in the past few months.

The livability of cities that have experienced the baptism of war has dropped significantly. Coupled with the death of Charlie Klumber and the defeat of the empire, the internal situation has become somewhat turbulent. Coupled with the scarcity of supplies in the empire area, prices have risen.

Now in many cities, rebels have popped up, commonly known as troublemakers.

According to the strength of the regular army of the Southern Territory Army, it is naturally easy to defeat these gangsters, but the trouble is that it is difficult to eradicate them. They are mixed with tens of millions of people in every city.

After all, the troops from the southern border are newcomers, and their control over these cities is still very limited for the time being. They can't be expected to conduct interrogations one by one, can they?

Because of this, Luo Ji also had quite a headache.

The people from the Mingjing Department are already on their way. This time, he sent Luo Jindu out, intending to let him stay in the southern border temporarily.
