Sugar-coated wine continued: "If you want to save people, you must have more financial support. Whether it is magic, the Holy See, or medicine, all actions require financial support. There may be benevolent doctors who do not charge fees.

, but that will definitely not be the norm. His Highness’s country needs funds to maintain, rather than relying purely on some illusory beliefs. In order to help His Highness get the funds he needs, I don’t mind getting my hands dirty.”

After a crash, Meng Lang waved his hand, faced the floor-to-ceiling windows at the back, and said slowly: "No matter what, this is not the right path! I can't tolerate so many people dying every year for this reason, let alone taking Du.

People with Lengjia will be unable to work for a long period of time, which in itself is a loss of our national strength. I order you to gradually reduce the supply and manufacturing of Lengjia from now on, and strive to increase the supply and manufacturing of Lengjia within the next three years.

Reduce production to less than one-third of the current level. This isn’t too much of a request, right?”

Tangyijiu raised his head, with a look of regret on his face.

"In addition, I would also like to formulate a special law to classify Demerol as a drug that only special medical or clergy personnel need to issue a special prescription and can be purchased at a specific place of purchase.

Unless a qualified pharmacist prescribes a prescription according to a certain disease, no one is allowed to buy this drug at will. We strive to completely control this drug to a minimum in the next ten years and only give it to those who need it most.

use."

In response to Meng Lang's current request, Tang Yijiu breathed out a little. After a moment, he shook his head gently and said slowly -

"Your Highness, I wonder if you know something? The Orion Empire... is coming."

Originally they were still discussing Du Lengjia, but now they have turned to the invasion of the Ora Empire, which surprised Meng Lang. He turned his head and looked at the kneeling old man. After thinking for a moment, he said: "How did you know that?

news?"

Tangyijiu lowered his head, smiled slightly, and said: "It doesn't take much energy to investigate. As long as you pay more attention to the war on the border and place more spies, it will not be difficult. I believe that Your Highness should have his own way to know this.

It’s a matter of course.”

"Hmph! Those damn diplomatic agencies. I will evacuate them all sooner or later!"

Menglang returned to his seat, picked up a briefing on the border war from the side, glanced at it, and said——

"So what? You are a member of the Pharmacists Association, and the military is not something you should be concerned about."

"Your Highness, I really have nothing to say about the military. I just want to provide some data for your reference."

Tangyijiu smiled and continued calmly——

"Your Highness, you must have been working hard to incorporate those small guilds during this time, right? In fact, His Highness's actions are indeed very effective. At present, the recruitment behavior has entered the deep water area and is in a very difficult state, but I believe

The results will definitely be achieved at some time in the future.”

"But Your Highness, any reform needs to pay a price. Your act of integrating guilds must have caused great or small damage to those guilds. I think... this price has already taken shape. This time

When faced with the attack of the Hunter Empire, how many guilds are still willing to continue to serve the empire at the same price as before? And how many of the Hunter Empire are because they have realized that many guilds in our country will not

Why do you want to attack our country by using your strength at this time?"

With a snap, Meng Lang slapped his hand heavily on the table and said coldly: "They are the people of the Blue Bay Empire, and it is their duty to serve the empire! They are protected by the Blue Bay Empire, so they should

Serve the royal family!”

Tangyijiu continued to smile and nodded, and said slowly: "Of course, this is correct. Of course, the royal family you represent, Your Highness, will always be the central force of the Blue Bay Empire. However, while being loyal to the royal family, those adventurers also

They need to eat, visit brothels, and have a normal life to satisfy their desires."

"But due to your highness's reforms, their income has begun to decrease. And it will cost a lot of money to draw all these adventurers into the royal army. Which area does your highness want to dig out this money from?"

What? Especially now that you want to cut off 10% of our country’s tax revenue? Well...I may be a bit rebellious to say this here, but I still think of a place where we can cut expenses."

Meng Lang looked sideways at the pharmacist. After waiting for a moment, he finally said, "Go ahead and I'll forgive you."

Tangyijiu smiled and said slowly: "Thank you for the gift, Your Highness. In my opinion, the construction of His Majesty's mausoleum...maybe stopped."

Meng Lang's eyes widened: "What did you say?!"

In this regard, Tangyijiu did not show any fear and continued: "The construction of His Majesty's mausoleum began ten years ago. The design drawings have been revised again and again. The total number of laborers employed has exceeded 100,000.

The gold coins spent are estimated to have exceeded one million. In contrast, His Majesty's mausoleum contains a variety of rare and exotic animals, exotic flowers and plants. Fire monsters and ice monsters were also specially bred to make the tomb feel like spring all year round.

.A huge musical theater was even built for this purpose as an entertainment for His Majesty when he will be at the mercy of the God of Light in the future.”

"However, the cost of this project is indeed too huge, and I believe His Highness has noticed it during the two years he has been in power. Since this project is so costly, how about stopping it and saving the money to subsidize military affairs?

"

From the past to the present, no one has ever dared to say anything about His Majesty's mausoleum.

When everyone saw the mausoleum that had been built for ten years, the only words they could express were "magnificent", "spectacular", "breathtaking" and other adjectives.

Has anyone ever said that a mausoleum should not be built?

Especially when His Majesty's condition has worsened in the past two years, who has the courage to say "stop construction"?

The mausoleum was built on the order of Meng Lang's father.

The only person who can order to stop the construction is His Majesty the Emperor, who is currently bedridden. Apart from that, no one has the qualifications to stop the project, not even the crown prince Meng Lang!

Tang Yijiu saw the expression on Meng Lang's face and knew what the crown prince was thinking, but he could only sigh and said: "Your Highness, since you have difficulties in this area, let me tell you about it.

That’s what I’m worried about.”

"You said that Du Lengjia may cause sudden death and may weaken the will of the person who takes the medicine. In fact, His Majesty already knew about this when he was still healthy. However, Your Majesty still has not stopped selling this medicine."

"I believe that on the one hand, it is because the economic value of Du Lengjia is too high, and our empire cannot give up such a large amount of revenue. On the other hand, it is precisely because of Du Lengjia that our border can

It is so stable that the war with the Ora Empire can maintain such a balance."

Menglang glanced at the pharmacist, and even felt a little bored with the old man. At that moment, he waved his hand and asked him to leave without waiting for Tangyijiu to finish his words. And Tangyijiu also knew that his words had now been

It worked. The most important thing now is for the crown prince to figure it out silently.

At that moment, he smiled confidently, stood up, saluted the royal family, and then left.

In the office, only Meng Lang was left thinking carefully.

He returned to his desk and looked at the pile of documents in front of him, looking a little anxious.

Here are documents about Du Lengjia's serious poisonous nature.

But on the other side, there are urgent reports about the war.

Fierce waves have been on the battlefield.

We played once before ten years ago, and coincidentally it was against the Hunter Empire.

He knew very well how tragic the situation on the battlefield was. He watched his comrades around him fall one after another, and then the two sides continued to kill each other. There were no laws, no rules, only the most primitive instincts of killing.

.

But on the battlefield, he didn't have to think so much.

He only needs to think about how to kill the enemy, how to lead his comrades, and how to lead his troops to victory.

Not like now...

Now he is sitting here, looking at the financial report and budget table in front of him, and he has begun to calculate the economic gains and losses of this war.

Economy...economy?

If there really is a full-scale war with the Orion Empire, how long can the Blue Bay Empire's economy be sustained?

How much will be gained if this war is won? What will be lost if it is lost?

In previous battlefields, as a soldier, Meng Lang constantly complained about why there was no support from the rear.

But now, as the actual commander of the entire empire, he forced himself to start thinking about whether to send troops to reinforce the border? Should he think about whether he should abandon those soldiers who were still fighting on the front line to avoid greater losses?

If the self from ten years ago were to meet the current self, I guess the warrior Meng Lang at that time would definitely beat up the current crown prince Meng Lang.

Dong-dong-dong——

"Your Highness, President of the Light of Heaven, Paladin Light of Light seeks to see you."

Hearing this name, Meng Lang immediately seemed to have found a bright light in the darkness and said quickly: "Please come in quickly!"

The soldier outside the door paused for a moment, then opened the office door and let the president in.
Chapter completed!
