Lampari XIII sat quietly in the small garden in the backyard of the palace, covering her legs with a blanket. She slowly looked through a report in her hand against the rare warm sunshine in early winter.

This report was submitted by Wang **’s ministry two days ago. It was the third time he read it today, but he still read it very seriously.

Because this report is a summary report on the battle of the Murto Mountains, as the king who ascended the throne in the turmoil more than ten years ago, then calmed the turmoil under the most difficult situation, and held the throne firmly, the current king Lampari XIII knew and valued military affairs more than the previous few people.

He has been in power for more than ten years and knows that the conflict between the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sak in the North has been greatly affected by the entire Kingdom of Lampari.

Due to the suppression of the Sak Kingdom, the Lampari Kingdom was forced to spend huge gold coins on the Zhenbei Army every year, and the military headquarters spent almost half of the military expenditure divided every year on the Zhenbei Army, which barely blocked the offensive of the Sak Kingdom.

However, the Kingdom of Lampari is also deeply trapped in this quagmire and has to spend a lot of military spending every year, so it is impossible to escape.

In fact, Lampari XIII was also well aware of the strategy of the Sak Kingdom. The reason why the Sak Kingdom did not launch a real full-scale war and the victory or defeat of the Lampari Kingdom was that it wanted to rely on its national strength that was much stronger than the Lampari Kingdom and drag the Lampari Kingdom to death, and then take down the Lampari Kingdom without bloodshed.

On the contrary, if we really make a gamble and start a full-scale war, it may arouse the full resistance of the Kingdom of Lampari, and even if we can win, the Kingdom of Sak will be greatly damaged. Maybe it will be profitable by fishermen from other countries.

But knowing, the Kingdom of Lampari has no way to solve this problem, because the Kingdom of Sak is stronger than that of the Kingdom of Lampari and takes the absolute initiative. It would be great if the Kingdom of Lampari could barely hold on, so how could it be possible to find another way to counterattack?

This time, although the Sak Kingdom was in a fierce manner at the beginning and seemed to want to launch it in full swing, it actually only grabbed control of the Murto Mountains and did not continue to advance.

This move is actually clearly intended to further put pressure on the two countries of Lampari, forcing the Kingdom of Lampari to increase its investment in the Zhenbei Army, which made the finances of the Kingdom of Lampari, which were already overwhelmed.

However, the Kingdom of Saks never expected that the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari suddenly changed into brand new equipment and weapons, and was equipped with terrifying magic machinery such as magic trenchers. In addition, with the almost-free pure steel arrow branches, they snatched the Murto Mountains from them.

As a result, the Zhenbei Army now fully controls the control of the Murto Mountains, and the Sak Kingdom faces tremendous pressure and has to increase its investment in the Greedy Wolf Legion and the Tiger Legion to prevent the Zhenbei Army from counterattacking.

As for counterattacking the Murto Mountains... with the support of the extremely powerful military armament of the Zhenbei Army, it is simply unimaginable in the short term.

However, in this report submitted by King Lampari's tribe, it was abnormal that it was not to express his merits to His Majesty the King, but to seek help.

According to statistics from the military headquarters, although the Zhenbei Army showed bravery and regained control of the crucial Murto Mountains, the price paid by the military headquarters was a one-time investment of 170,000 gold coins, and the military headquarters almost emptied the military expenditure this year.

In order to maintain control of the Murto Mountains, Zhenbei Army currently spends more than 40,000 gold coins per month.

Not to mention anything else, the cost of transporting supplies exceeded 10,000 gold coins.

And this is a number saved by the military department and racking its brains to save.

In this report, the military command clearly listed all the data, and then clearly showed that the military command had no money now. If the kingdom's finances do not make additional funds, the military command could not support it at all. Corresponding to this, the Murto Mountains would definitely change hands again.

At first glance, this report seemed like a threat to force His Majesty the King to give money, but Lampari XIII knew very well that the military officials were all telling the truth.

Because he understands the finances of the kingdom more than anyone in the kingdom.

The kingdom has no money in finance, so the military department naturally has no money.

But this is another problem that must be solved, otherwise all the efforts made by Zhenbei Army will be in vain and the Kingdom of Lampari will be more passive.

However, if we find another way to increase military expenditure to the military headquarters, the result will be that the two countries of Lampa will further penetrate into this quagmire, worsening the kingdom's finances and forming a bad vicious cycle.

How to crack this dead loop?

Lampari XIII thought for a moment and picked up another report on the table beside him.

This report is the summary report on the Kingdom Autumn Harvest submitted by the Kingdom Agriculture Department some time ago.

In this report, Bonta City was placed in a very prominent position.

The reason is very simple, because in this year's autumn harvest, Bangta City achieved too outstanding results, far exceeding the performance of other cities in the kingdom.

In this report, the Agriculture Department praised the current lord of Bonta City Earl Stark, calling him the first hero of Bonta City to achieve such a good result in this autumn harvest. He should have given the highest reward. He also said that if every city in the kingdom can have such a strong grain output, then the Kingdom of Lampari will completely get rid of the troubles of food in the next few years and make all people no longer troubled by famine.

After carefully reading the report, Lampari XIII suddenly blew out of his nostrils, and a cold smile flashed across his face. He picked up another report and read it for a while, then the corners of his mouth slightly raised and the smile on his face turned to comfort.

This report is a secret report, thick and composed of as many as dozens of sheets of paper.

If Xu Yi was here, he would be shocked.

Because the thick report is all about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Regarding this report, Lampari XIII actually read more carefully than the previous reports of the Military Affairs Department and the Agricultural Administration. Many times he would stop and think for a while before continuing to read it.

After nearly an hour of reading the full report, Lampari XIII put down the report, leaned against the back of the chair, closed his eyes in the warm sunlight, as if he was planning to take a break, but from his tight brows and the corners of his mouth that were squirming from time to time, it clearly showed that he was actually in deep thought.

After a while, a slight sound of footsteps stepped into the garden, awakening Lampari XIII from her contemplation.

Without opening his eyes, he knew that his favorite little daughter, Sewini, must have arrived.

"Father, can you actually take your time to rest today?" The footsteps stopped in front of you, and then Sevini's voice with a hint of surprise rang out.

Lampari XIII opened his eyes, showed a gentle smile to Sevini, pointed to a chair diagonally opposite, and signaled Sevini to sit down.

"Tell me." After Sewini sat down, Lampary XIII said briefly.

Knowing that his father did not like wasting time, Sevini nodded and handed a document to Lampary XIII in his hand.

"Is it about that guy Xu Yi again?" Lampary XIII did not reach out to answer, but instead asked Sevini with a joking smile.

Hearing the slightest joking in his tone, Sevini's pretty face turned slightly red, and he handed the documents in his hand to Lampary XIII a little.

"You'll know if you look."

Lampari XIII smiled. After taking the document and glanced at it, his expression immediately became solemn, and he sat up straight.

After he carefully looked through the complete report, he pondered for a moment and asked Sevini seriously, "How sure are you?"

Sewini thought for a while and replied, "From my understanding of Xu Yi, since he said so and solemnly made this suggestion to you, I think at least more than half of it."

"Okay, it's worth doing half of the confidence."

Lampari XIII looked down at the report in his hand again and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Hey, I didn't expect that the things I had been worried about for more than ten years fell into the hands of this boy, but they were solved so easily. He actually thought of setting up his mind to the Principality of Stantin. Although I had also understood that the land of the Principality of Stantin could produce a lot of food, I really didn't have the strength to fight it, so I had to give up this idea."

Sewini smiled slightly: "Father, Xu Yi said that in fact, many things in this world can be solved with money, without using force. In addition, he also said that things that can be solved with money are not a big deal."

Lampari XIII couldn't help but glared: "This kid said it easily. Their New Flying Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money. Of course he could say such big talk, but how could our kingdom finance be as abundant as their chamber of commerce? If he had the ability, he would make the entire Lampari Kingdom the same money as ours?"

Sevini narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Father, what if Xu Yi really has a way to make the entire kingdom rich?"

Lampari XIII was stunned and frowned and looked at Sevini: "Severi, I know you have always admired Xu Yi very much. I also agree that the magic industry led by their New Flying Chamber of Commerce has indeed changed the appearance of the entire Bonta City. But a country and a chamber of commerce and a city are different after all, and it is not that simple."

"How can you know if you don't try it." Sevini shook his head. "Father, our Kingdom of Lampari has been on the road before for hundreds of years, but has not improved at all. Now there is finally a slight possibility of change. Why are you just unwilling to make up your mind to try it?"

Lampari XIII stared at Sevini for a long time and sighed: "How come I don't understand these things? But Sevini, there are many things in the kingdom, and even I can't make it easy."

"I understand." Sewini nodded slightly. "I don't want you to make a huge change, I just hope you can give this change more help."

Lampari XIII smiled and said, "I knew that you came here again for that kid. If he hadn't been married, I really doubt if you were planning to marry him."

Sewini's face turned red, but he didn't refute anything, but stared at Lampary XIII: "Father, I'm serious. Xu Yi was still considering our entire kingdom when he was treated like this by Earl of Stark. If we don't give him some support, it will definitely disappoint him. I think we can't lose him and the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce anyway."

"I don't disagree, but you didn't say what good you were going to ask for him this time, and how did I agree?" Lampari XIII smiled. "If you still ask for territory, then don't say it. I can't agree. The last time I gave the boy a piece of territory, the noble council would be quarrel. If I give him another one, I will be annoyed to death."

Sevini paused and replied seriously: "I hope you can give the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce free trade rights."

Lampari XIII was stunned for a moment, then sternly said: "This is impossible!" (To be continued...)
