Pirates are born to be king

As a king under the feudal system, there are countless benefits. For many things, Valbo only needs to use his words, and naturally there are people below to work hard. On the third day after the people from the shipyard arrived, in the Ciggu Castle, a brand new office dedicated to the king was opened. Has been completed.m.. The decoration style of the mobile terminal is as bold and luxurious as ever, with fur floors, gold and silver walls, and various decorations in a well-proportioned manner without appearing crowded. The large floor-to-ceiling windows characteristic of Cigu Castle still have the familiar winter style.

The room is huge. In addition to the desk and small conference table, behind a silk-like windshield, there is a space for him to take a nap. A large bed that can fit five of him is placed in the middle, beside the bed. There was good charcoal burning in the fireplace, a comfortable rocking chair, a few exquisite books, and the indispensable wine bottles and glasses. Almost everything he could think of was here, perfect...

Valpo was a man who wanted to be a wise king. He resisted the temptation and returned to the table to sit down. Jace waited respectfully, "Is your Majesty satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Valpo didn't bother to pretend to be noble. In his opinion, no matter how much material things a king of a country can enjoy, what's more, the decorations in this room are all from the castle treasury, and all the workers' fees are too high. He paid for it himself and did not harm the national interests at all. In this case, why should he look poor? Valpo leaned back in his chair and said, "Speak, my staff officer."

Since discovering the special characteristics of the alloy 'Sea Shadow', Valpo no longer talks about state affairs at breakfast. Now that he has a new office location, it is natural to talk about it here.

Jess handed over the document, "Your Majesty, the first document is the recent income and expenditure of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, and the second document is the first batch of rock house information and resident list of the Warm Winter Plan."

"Warm winter plan?" Valpo sat up straight. The plan promoted by him finally took the first step. He patiently looked at the income and expenditure report of the Drum Kingdom, various departments, and all kinds of complicated and trivial directories. One glance gave him the feeling of entering a maze.

Valpo, who had only charged meals and water and electricity bills at most, was not used to this.

However, the numbers are particularly important. Every wrong decimal point will cause a difference of ten times.

"Let me see, one, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, um... the cleaning fee spent by Big Horn Village in the first quarter is 5 beli."

Jess wiped his sweat in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... you calculated the wrong number, and... that's one month's expenses."

"Ah, haha, haha, right." Valpo laughed, counted it again, and nodded, "Sure enough, it's 50 beli. I'm talking about a village, plowing snow and cleaning up garbage. How come there are so few? Okay, next item, the surgical team of the medical department and the eye surgery class apply for medical equipment maintenance and upgrades. Well, this is a must. Sharpening the knife will not waste time chopping firewood. Only when the facilities are good can we earn more. Dobelli.”

Jess complimented, "Your Majesty is wise."

Valpo pointed at the last number with his finger this time and counted them one by one, "One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million! Billion! An ophthalmology class actually costs 9 million dollars." Come for maintenance and upgrade? Isn’t it a bit much? The start-up capital that this king gave to the shipyard is only 5 million beli.” He felt that there was corruption here, or maybe the ophthalmology department happened to need to buy new equipment?

The sweat on Jace's head flowed down like a waterfall. The office was so hot that he didn't even dare to raise his head. He just reminded him softly, "Your Majesty... Well, the people in the medical department are more rigorous. No, it's boring. I think it's boring." , they like to correct Bailey to two decimal places... Before the last two zeros, there is actually a very small '.'..."

"Yes, really." Valpo looked and saw that there was indeed one, just like the selling prices sometimes seen on Earth. The writing of this set of numbers was 9000000.00. When Valpo counted with his fingers, it just covered the small Click, "So it's 900 million Baileys, not 9 million." Valpo's face was cold, but he was roaring in his heart. They were all zero anyway. What's the point of being accurate to two decimal places?has no meaning? !Besides, Bailey doesn’t even have a few cents, okay?OK! !Do you want to make this king look embarrassed on purpose, you bastard!

Seeing that there were nearly hundreds of numbers that needed to be checked, he became cruel.

With a 'pop', he threw the piece on the table casually, "Jace..." Valpo said in a low voice, looking at the chief of staff whom he regarded as his confidant.

"My lord, my lord is here." Jace bowed.

"You... won't tell anyone about what happened today." A king, who still wanted to be a good king and a wise king, counted the numbers twice, but made mistakes twice in a row. The error rate was as high as 100%. This thing was too... I'm so embarrassed and can't let anyone know, not even Jess!Valpo was thinking about asking the other party to do something scandalous as a threat, dance?If it doesn't work, let the other party crawl around?It hurts your self-esteem too much. Why don't you write a letter of approval?Do you have any stories you have to tell about Dalton and Chromamon?Well, this idea works...

Fortunately, Jace's performance made Valpo very pleased. He looked confused, "What's the matter? The veteran just came in. Didn't he just report to His Majesty the kingdom's income and expenditure for this quarter?"

Really good at being a good person, Valpo glanced at the other person with admiration, and temporarily put down his plans, "Let's talk about it, uh... Just tell me that the income and expenditure situation is good." Too many figures already gave him a headache.

"As you command, Your Majesty." Jess breathed a secret breath and turned to the last page of the report. "In general, the development of the Drum Kingdom is stable. In the first two months, the revenue increased by 2%. This month, due to the need to support the food subsidy program and the warm winter Plan, as well as support for medical technology and the restart of shipyards, the income has declined somewhat, but it is generally under control, and there is no negative growth. If the situation does not change significantly, the net income can still be 5 million beli per month."

"5 million beli." Valpo thought for a while, "Does that mean 60 billion a year?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the other part of Bailey needs to be used to purchase and make medicines, which will be used as heavenly gold and handed over to the World Government for processing."

"Tianjin..." Valpo recalled, and information about Tianjin came to mind. Tianjin means that the world government's participating countries must contribute a portion of their treasures to the Draconians and the World Government every year.

It is not a specific thing, but it has a specific value. It can be gold, cloth, or of course Bailey. The amount shared by each kingdom is also different. As a major medical country, the Drum Kingdom will receive one every year. For a drug list, the number of drugs specified in the list can be paid as a daily fee. Most of them are trauma drugs used by the navy, and can be combined with a wide variety of other drugs.

Medicines only count as cost to the Drum Kingdom, and are counted as selling price when paid. This method of heavenly gold allows his kingdom to have room for the extra expenses, and it does not reach the point of breaking the bones. It can be considered that, It also requires nearly 10 billion beli in 'protection fees' every year.

"Tsk." Valpo pursed his lips. Since he wanted to enjoy the benefits of joining the country, the money must be paid. He nodded, "Okay, I understand."

At the same time, another question emerged in his mind. In the past few years, there should have been a huge wealth of nearly 50 billion Beili every year, but where did this large amount of Beili go?

"Jace." He was about to ask the chief of staff when the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows came into view.

They are three villages located in the cold winter: Big Horn Village, Cocowit Village, and Kesda Village. It is noon, and the citizens preparing lunch are rising in smoke from their homes, and the streets are like thin lines. There are pedestrians coming and going. At the dock next to Cigu Island, several sea ships are dancing with the waves. Porters are carrying boxes of food into the warehouse. From the castle, they look like hard-working ants.The cableway crisscrosses the mountain peaks and connects to every corner of Cigu Island, including the national hospital, shipyard, leather processing factory, and military camp.

The isolated island that should have been covered in snow is dotted with traces of human perseverance, and the winter when everything is dead cannot stop their yearning for beauty.

He thought he knew where those Baileys had gone in previous years...

As for Bailey after he ascended the throne, the extremely luxurious appearance of Drum Castle has given the answer.

Fortunately, all this is a thing of the past...

In the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, there is a black and gray color that is particularly eye-catching. It is the trace he left - the rock house.

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions." Jace looked at His Majesty the King.

"It's okay, I just want to compliment you." Valpo continued to read the second document, and a name in the resident directory caught his attention, "Huh? Dasji?"
