Chapter 328 [The first from the lower left! 】(2/2)
! Is it the annual income of a province!! One million? The Ministry of Finance does not have it now!! This year’s snow disaster in the south has already spent two million! There is also the snow disaster in the south, which has affected the income of several provinces! The losses are now
It hasn’t been fully estimated yet!!! Moreover, the spring drill has just passed, and military spending has already exceeded the standard! Now you want to expand the army again!! You want to use troops and directly reorganize those local garrison!!"
Military boss Hughes became furious when he was told: "Nonsense! What I want is the main battle army! What's the use of those local garrison forces! Don't you know what the situation is in the north now! You..."
"How come I don't know!!" The finance minister stiffened his neck: "You said the garrison is useless! If it is useless, why spend so much military expenditure every year to maintain it! If it is useless, then withdraw it! After withdrawing it, I will naturally have money.
I'm going to get your main battle legion for you!! Damn it...don't you know how tight the empire's finances are now!!!"
Seeing the two important ministers of the empire quarreling with their sleeves folded and fists drawn, Du Wei couldn't help but be stunned. How could these two have the majesty of big bosses and ministers now?
However, Camisillo had some friendship with Du Wei after all. When he saw Du Wei come in, he pulled him gently, smiled kindly, and said in a low voice: "Don't be surprised, I am in the imperial capital with this kind of scene... But every time
How many times do we see each other every month? These two big guys have been quarreling all their lives... We have long been used to it."
The regent glanced at Du Wei. His pursed lips finally relaxed a little. He stared at Du Wei and cleared his throat. As soon as he coughed, the two old guys who were quarreling quickly closed their mouths and started talking to each other.
Take a step back.
"Du Wei, you are finally here." The regent smiled like a spring breeze: "Come on, come on, this is your first time to participate in such a meeting. Sit down, I'm just going to hear what you mean.
"
After saying that, he shouted: "Someone, bring a chair to Grand Duke Tulip."
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned!
There were already good chairs in this hall, but under the throne of the Prince Regent, there were many empty seats on both sides.
But now that the regent had spoken, a waiter naturally came in immediately. In a moment, he brought in an extremely exquisite and luxurious chair and was about to put it down...
The regent smiled: "Move closer to me."
The four waiters worked hard to move the chairs higher.
"Come closer, why are you so far away from me?"
The regent seemed a little dissatisfied.
The four waiters immediately understood and hurriedly moved the chairs up. Finally, the regent showed a satisfied smile: "Okay, let's go here. Du Wei, sit down quickly and listen to this matter with me."
As he spoke, he pointed to the chair...
The whole place was silent!
Because, the position of this chair...
Although Du Wei is a Duke and the lord of a northwest province, in terms of seniority and age, he is definitely not at the forefront among the people in this palace.
But the position of this chair...
Originally, the current prime minister of the empire, Rob Schell, sat in the first seat on the left. But just now, at the request of the regent, Du Wei's chair was moved to the front of the old prime minister!
The first position on the lower left!
According to the empire's long-standing tradition...this is the position of prime minister?!
Facing the regent's smile, Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He smiled bitterly in his heart and looked at the chair, as if there was a nail standing on the chair at the moment.
Then, under the attention of everyone, Du Wei took a deep breath, bravely walked over, and then slowly sat down as if he was carrying Qian Jun's weight.
But at this moment, the old Prime Minister Robschel, who was sitting next to Du Wei, suddenly opened his squinted eyes. He looked at Du Wei carefully, and a ray of light flashed in his muddy old eyes.
The strange color disappeared immediately, and he squinted his eyes again, returning to the old, half-asleep look he had before.
Everyone looked at Du Wei and then at the regent. Everyone seemed a little weird for a while. On the other hand, the regent, Prince Chen, seemed to have a relaxed face, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning in everyone's eyes, and smiled slightly:
"Go on, um, Chancellor of the Finance, and Old General Hughes, please continue. But when you two speak, don't speak too loudly, otherwise, our prime minister will be shaken from his sleep.
I woke up."
He seemed to have told a joke, but at this moment, who dared to laugh?
Everyone was as silent as a chill. Even the Chancellor of Finance and Old General Hughes shrank their heads, stepped back obediently, and looked at Prince Chen.
