After returning from Aliya, Chen Xing suddenly remembered that the No. 89 Citizen Cemetery where Su Xuefei is located was too dilapidated and planned to let the finance department allocate some funds to repair it.

Although he put all the responsibility on Ricardo, he actually felt very guilty in his heart. He did not treat others well when he was alive, and everything he did after death was a drop in the bucket, but he could do it a little bit...

So he asked Lao K to call the Minister of Finance and asked the other party to allocate 10,000 gold coins.

The Minister of Finance was a little hesitant, "Prime Minister, we can pay this money, but, but..."

He wanted to speak but stopped, looking embarrassed. Chen Xing couldn't help but frown and said with some displeasure, "It's so unrighteous to allocate 10,000 gold coins. Are your finances so tight?"

"No, no..." The Minister of Finance waved his hand quickly, but in the second half, he began to hesitate again, "Just, just..."

"Just something!" Chen Xing was a little impatient and raised his voice. "If you have any questions, just say, don't be like a woman!"

The Minister of Finance was so scared that he trembled all over. He took out his handkerchief and repeatedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. "Prime Minister, I, I..." He held it in for a long time, and finally said it under Chen Xing's increasingly dark face, "

I am a minister of the Red Dragon Principality…”

This sentence seems to be a bad person and answers the question that is not right, but Chen Xing immediately wakes up.

He is the Prime Minister of the Northern Alliance, not the Prime Minister of the Red Dragon Principality.

There is the most famous saying in the feudal feudal system: "My vassal is not my vassal." It means that although the Red Dragon Principality is a vassal state of the Northern Alliance, Aliya, as the lord of the Northern Alliance, has no right to govern the vassal state.

Officials can only issue orders through the Red Dragon Grand Duke.

Even Aliya doesn’t have this power, so Chen Xing, who was given power by her, naturally did not.

Therefore, the Minister of Finance of the Red Dragon Principal had the right to refuse Chen Xing's request. But after all, he was a superior, and even if he refused, he would not dare to say it openly. Moreover, ten thousand gold coins were not a large amount. It was just that the division was not well-known and could not keep accounts.

Thinking a little deeper, Chen Xing suddenly realized that he had overlooked a very important thing.

That is, Aliya and Cuilis have completely different situations.

Cuilis' southern regime owns Binglan City and also has a direct Jinfen Port. Although most of the fiscal revenue will be used to raise the Dragon Scale Guard and the Imperial City Imperial Guard, both of these places are very rich, one is

The thousand-year imperial capital, the other is the largest port in the kingdom, with abundant taxes. Excluding military expenses, there is more or less surplus.

And Aliya's Northern Alliance is a wandering government with no territory at all and resides in vassal states.

Although Cuilis made the Binglan City a mess and everyone was in danger. When Chen Xing took over, the government was in a semi-paralyzed state and the economy was also in a mess, but with A Qiaomu's black prison troops, the purge of the old power and powerful people,

She restrained a large amount of property and enriched her small vault.

But Aliya couldn't do this. Even if she wanted to kill the chicken to get eggs and clean up the powerful people in the Giant Lizard City, it would be the Grand Duke of Red Dragon, and the benefits would be from Maris's family.

What's more, the powerful people in Giant Lizard City are far less wealthy than those in Binglan City. They make money from the center of power, and the wealth accumulated is not of the same level at all.

In contrast, Aliya's Northern Alliance was so poor that she was very poor. Although the vassal states would pay regular tribute, it was a war period, and the economies of various countries were affected to varying degrees, tax revenues dropped significantly, and she also expected the vassal states to send troops.

The one who worked hard to fight for her. The money burned in the war, so we can't expect them to pay much tribute.

"Sorry, I'm not thinking about it, you go back first." Chen Xing said, rubbing his brows. Even if he is the prime minister who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, he must admit it if he makes a mistake, otherwise he will not be able to convince everyone.

"Prime Minister, it's okay to ask us to pay this money. Even if I invest in it or find a few friends to get together, it's okay." The Chancellor of the Finance Department said flatteringly.

Chen Xing waved his hand and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, I will solve it."

The Minister of Finance wanted to say something, but Chen Xing issued an order to expel guests, "If there is a need in the future, I will find you. I still have something to do, so you can go back first."

Although the other party had good intentions, as the Prime Minister of the Northern Alliance, he could not owe anyone a favor for a mere 10,000 gold coins.

"Yes, yes." The Chancellor nodded and retreated.

After the other party left, Chen Xing thought about it carefully and found that the situation was worse than he expected. Not to mention that there were a bunch of bureaucrats like Binglan City, there were not many people at all.

Lacey and Ye Yang Bailiu can only count half of it.

In addition to being the chief guard of the Northern Alliance, Lacey is also the eldest princess of the Red Dragon Principality.

Ye Yang Bailiu has two identities: one is the great priest of the Northern Alliance and the other is the president of the branch of the Iron Sisters.

They cannot fully serve the Northern Alliance in terms of interests, emotions, and responsibilities, so they can only be considered half.

Then there is the Princess Guard.

According to Chen Xing's memory in his previous life, the Princess Army was an idol group composed of a group of beautiful girls, and the ornamental effect was greater than the actual effect.

To be young, to be beautiful, and to have certain talents, these three conditions are already harsh enough, and with an administrative ability, it is probably impossible to recruit people.

Faced with the current situation of the Northern Alliance, Chen Xing was so worried that he did not sleep well all night. He woke up Margarice, the intern secretary of the Prime Minister's Office, and rushed to the guards' camp to convene a meeting.

"Margarice, from tomorrow, you will stay in the guard office as an intern." Chen Xing ordered halfway.

"Master, why do you keep kicking me around?" Margarice said coquettishly with some dissatisfaction, "I was an intern at the General Staff Department, yesterday was an intern at the Prime Minister's Office, today was an intern at the Guard Department, tomorrow again

Where are you going to kick me?"

"Didn't this value you~" Chen Xing coaxed, "You are one of the people I trust the most. You need wherever there are difficulties."

"Really!" "When did Master deceive you?"

Under Chen Xing's coaxing, Margarice was very excited and happily agreed to change the department.

Since Lacey went to the Raven Xu's receiving territory and Ye Yang Bailiu was dealing with internal affairs of the Great Hall, neither of them was there, so Ye Yang Qingyan, the head of logistics guard, was responsible for receiving him.

After half a year of separation, when he saw him again, Ye Yang Qingyan acted a little hesitant, her eyes flashed, and she did not dare to look directly into his eyes.

The other party had broken up with him before and said a very classic saying, "I didn't expect you to be such a person." It would be strange if you were embarrassed.

Chen Xing called Ye Yangqingyan to her, squinted her eyes and stared at her for a while, and said, "I will have a meeting today and I will settle the score with you later."

Ye Yang Qingyan didn't dare to look at his eyes, lowered her head, nodded obediently and obediently, then twisted her butt and went to inform the female officials in the guard office.

Since the guard office is of a military camp, everyone lives here and it is not long before everyone arrives.

They all looked like they had just finished washing up and their eyes were loose and hazy. It seemed that the guard office was usually a pampered person who was generous and had more money and less money to live.

However, these female officials were very polite when they saw Chen Xing, saying "Good morning, Prime Minister~" and bowed 90 degrees with a very enthusiastic attitude.

In the conference room, Chen Xing sat in the first place, with logistics guard commander Ye Yang Qingyan, Qianzhu envoy Lan Xueqi, medical officer Ryoko Ito, as well as the twins of Shiraishi Tong, Shiraishi Ying, and the newly appointed intern of the Guard Department.

Margarice.

"The cabinet meeting of the Northern Alliance was held today to understand the organizational structure of the Northern Alliance and arrange future work." Chen Xing announced.

Maybe I am used to being idle. Except for Margarice, the women in the guard office looked at me and I looked at you, and they all looked ignorant.

Seeing that several women didn't understand, Chen Xing asked about the affairs they were usually responsible for.

The result is that I don’t know if I ask, and I’m shocked when I ask.

Bai Shitong Bai Shiying and the other two were either officers, but because they knew Chen Xing, they were called to make up the numbers so that the conference table would not look like space.

Ryoko Ito is a military doctor in the guard office. She usually adjusts her diet and gives girls a physical examination to ensure their health and beauty.

As a logistics officer, Ye Yang Qingyan was even more overdoing. Apart from playing with cars, she occasionally took everyone out to eat, drink and have no idea about politics.

Lan Xueqi is a little better, has a more stable personality, but her work scope is very small. She is just to convey the will for the princess in the north. To put it bluntly, she is a messenger.

After a long time, it turned out to be a group of little girls who only care about fun, just like the canary raised in the Royal Garden. I was even more unaware of the internal affairs of the Northern Alliance.

If there is anything else they can do, it is that they are generally young and beautiful, with strong publicity capabilities. Also, with the investment of the northern princess at all costs, all kinds of precious materials can be said to be taken and so they are all strong

Not bad.

But it is a bit inconsistent to ask these delicate and beautiful girls to go to the battlefield. Compared to ordinary troops, the Princess Guard is more like an incubation pool for future strong men.

Perhaps in the near future, a group of powerful people in the Holy Land, or even legends, will be born among them, but for now, it is a department that costs money and does not work.

Chen Xing asked how much money there was in the treasury of the Northern Alliance. Ye Yang and Qingyan couldn't explain clearly, and the person in charge of the money was the Chief of the Guards.

Lacey gave her a fixed monthly expense according to the number of people in the guard office, as well as evolutionary potions and undercurrent relics in the material warehouse, as well as various precious vehicles and military supplies.

Ye Yang Qingyan is a typical moonlight clan and she runs out of her budget every month. Chen Xing visited the garage and dormitory and found that they were all luxury goods.

Even Margarice, who was born as a noble lady, was a little amazed, and some things were used better than hers.

I won’t talk about the various top luxury cars in the garage. I won’t talk about seven or eight sets of world-famous brand-made military uniforms, shoes, and accessories. I won’t talk about the skin care products specially designed by West African Pharmaceutical.

Even the commonly used mouthwash cups, toothbrushes, and even sanitary napkins are customized by famous brands, with small logos printed on the guard office, which is extremely luxurious.

Compared to the weeds in Su Xuefei’s cemetery, it really makes you feel like you are a stinking smell of wine and meat in the house, and you feel like you are frozen to death on the road.

There was no way, and there was no one in charge of this group of people, so Chen Xing had to ask them to take the holographic projector to the conference room and let Lace participate in the meeting.

When asked about the economic situation of the North Alliance of Lace, Lace spread her hands and said, "No money!"

The reason is that the tributes from all countries have been used to raise the Princess Guard, and there is no surplus in the national treasury. Chen Xing estimated that Lacey was corrupt, and the Princess Guard was just extravagant, with only more than 200 people. It is impossible.

The offerings of the four principalities of the red dragon, black feathers, silver claws, and water ferrets.

Lacey probably used this money to help supplement his Red Dragon Second Army. In addition, Ye Yang Bailiu may also participate in it, get a share of the pie and help supplement his Steel Sisters.

But he still has no choice but to use these two corrupt officials. They are not like A Qiaomu, who can pull each other's braids and scrape oil hard. They are not only important officials of the Northern Alliance, but also have their own power behind them. Unlike A Qiaomu, they can only

Relying on Cuilis. Once you lose power, you can only be slaughtered by others.

After a while, Chen Xing learned that the Northern Alliance currently has only two sources of income.

One is the vassal state tribute, but as Lacey said, they were all taken to maintain the Princess Guard.

Another one is to let Aliya go to the zero-district hunting to help make up for the expenses. Last time, because the Third Red Dragon Army failed to attack Chiyan, he had to take a heavy pension, so Aliya had to find a way to solve the problem by herself.

But last time I came back, Aliya was injured. Although she was not very serious, she had only had some skin trauma, but she had been recuperating for a while.
