Chapter 375: Increase revenue and reduce expenditure

Chapter 375: Increase revenue and reduce expenditure

"You are a rude person. Even if you are a friend of His Highness Alice, you cannot treat His Highness like this."

Claire pulled out the sword from her waist and scolded the girl who shook her princess angrily.

"Ha, you bastard, don't you understand the current situation? Your country needs a great Red Devil like me to prevent you from falling into a miserable future of war. Now you actually dare to talk to me with this attitude?! ”

However, Megumin was not afraid at all. She ignored the threat of the sword, leaned over and started spitting at Claire.

The guard knight was sprayed back and forth, and the veins on his forehead seemed to be on the verge of exploding, causing Broly to look over with caution.

"Claire, put down the sword."

"But Your Highness..."

"I'm fine, Megumin won't hurt me."

Hearing her princess's words, Claire could only take back her sword, and Broly also stopped staring at her warily.

"Meihui, I also want to help in this regard, but I am just a princess, and the national finance is not something I can interfere with."

Little Princess Alice first explained, and then said: "However, I can take out my personal property."

"How many?"

Megumin asked directly.

"Two estates and one land."

Little Princess Alice replied.

"How much is that?"

Megumin was puzzled.

"It's probably worth more than 30 million Eris."

Lei Yin, the female magician who was also the guardian, answered this question.

"Hey, that's all?"

Megumin frowned.

"What's so little? This is already a lot!"

Claire was very dissatisfied.

"But Alice is the princess of the kingdom!"

Huihui didn't believe that the dignified princess of the kingdom only had so little oil and water.

"It doesn't matter if she's a princess. My princess doesn't have any food left. Don't you know that the kingdom's armament funds have been greatly reduced?

Now my princess has canceled her daily training, and even her favorite weapon [Dragon-Slaying Great Sword] has lowered its maintenance level.

The best anti-rust oil was replaced with a second-rate anti-rust oil, and the monthly Magic Craftsman care programs were also cancelled.

The reason is to help his father and brother and reduce the country's arms expenditure. ”

"Uh, but even so, isn't Alice eating some high-grade, expensive Warcraft meat?"

Huihui asked again.

"Expensive, that's for the market price, but the market simply can't consume too much high-grade Warcraft meat.

And the high-level monster meat that is hunted but cannot be sold is just some corruptible meat.

Why, you don’t think that all the monster meat that my princess eats is bought in the market, right?

No, those were monsters hunted by the kingdom's army during daily training, and the cost was only the manpower of the kingdom's army.

Only a small part of the monster meat hunted can be exchanged for Eris, and it is not enough to cover the training expenses of the kingdom's army! ”

Claire said in a strange tone.

"In addition, the two manors owned by my princess are also inheritances left to her by her mother. The land was awarded to me by His Majesty the King for his merits in the early years when he took the risk to defeat the dragon that broke into the royal capital. Her Royal Highness’s future dowry

And because of your words, my Highness has already given out everything he can, but you, this guy, still don't like it too little. What else do you want?

Should my princess sell all her weapons, armor, and equipment, or should she sell herself to raise money for you to become the Demon King? ”

Lei Yin said and glared at Hui Hui.

"Ah, I didn't mean that."

Huihui felt a little at a loss.

"Well, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, no matter what, Huihui will not let her friends donate the inheritance left by her mother and the dowry she earned."

Darkness stepped forward at this time, took Megumin's hand off the collar of little Princess Alice, and said this to Claire and Rein.

The Belzegu royal family is a model for the emperor to guard the country. The royal capital is very close to the frontline fortress. When the royal family of this country faced the Demon King's army, they tried their best to spend every penny. On the edge of the knife.

Even though the Demon King's Army has been disbanded for more than two years, this practice has become a habit of the Belzegu royal family.

Therefore, even if Alice is the little princess of the kingdom, she does not have any more money.

"No, Darkness, I won't mind. This is for the world and the future of countless people in our country!"

Little Princess Alice took a step forward and continued: "I think even my late mother would not blame me for donating the things she left to me to Huihui. All of this is for peace."

"Hey, what makes me have to wear sunglasses?"

After little Princess Alice finished speaking, Aqua took out a pair of sunglasses from somewhere and put them on the bridge of her nose.

"It is the glory, the glory of responsibility and consciousness!"

Eris answered her question.

"Should I say that I am truly worthy of being a member of the Belzegu royal family?!"

The old devil sighed a little. As a former opponent and enemy, he still had respect for the royal family of the ancient kingdom of Belze.

Because the leader of this country is not the type who talks behind his back and lets his subordinates work hard at the front while he enjoys himself at the back.

Instead, they will put on heavy armor and carry a big sword and go to the battlefield together, leading their own soldiers to fight against the Demon King's army with real swords and real spears.

Counting upwards, there are quite a few members of the Belzegu royal family who died in battle and were wrapped in horse leather in order to resist the invasion of the Demon King's army.

During the time when the old devil was in charge of the devil's army, the last king of the ancient kingdom of Belze and the previous king died on the battlefield.

The old devil's impression of the Belzegu royal family was based on hard bones. Perhaps it was precisely because the bones were too hard that it led to the emergence of war in the future.

Otherwise, if the Belzegu royal family can be ruthless and carry out disarmament by force, such as squeezing the rabbit and cooking the dog, and hiding the bird with the slingshot, it may be difficult for war to occur in the future.

The old devil was right. Political coercion from the other two kingdoms was actually only half responsible for the future war. The other half was the royal family of the ancient Kingdom of Belze. The characters of His Majesty the King and his successors were too tough. for the sake of.

If they were asked to make the wrong decision to live and die with their own soldiers, they might as well just flip the table and lead their own army to go to war with the other two kingdoms.

But things like war are out of control when they are fought.

Once upon a time, the old demon king didn't really want to invade the human world, but the problem is that the monster troops below don't think so, and the brave men who keep coming to this world don't think so either. He is also being held up by his subordinates and coerced by external forces. , playing the role of the strongest demon king who is wise and powerful in the face of the general trend.

Megumin, the Yakuza-like future demon king, was reduced to a bastard state by Princess Alice's brilliant speech.

She blushed a little and apologized to Princess Alice, but Princess Alice refused and wanted to donate the start-up funds for the new Demon King's army to her.

Fortunately, after some persuasion from Youyou, the establishment of the new Demon King Army requires stable financial resources, which cannot be supported by one or two donations.

"If you want to build a new Demon King's Army, you have to make money. If you want to make money, you can only consider two aspects.

The first is to open source and find stable financial resources.

The second is to reduce expenditures and reduce the financial consumption required to maintain the existence of the New Demon King's Army..."

Everyone sat down to discuss again, and regarding open source issues, they quickly came up with two more useful methods. "We can learn from the old devil's methods and recruit a group of wise monsters to open up wasteland, farm, breed, and engage in production work."

Darkness said.

"But I'm not familiar with monsters. When I met monsters in the past, the only diplomatic method was to use explosion magic to blow them up..."

Huihui was a little embarrassed.

"You are not familiar with me, but there are people who are familiar with me, such as this old devil king."

Soquet pointed at the old man with a white beard next to him and said.

Old Devil: "..."

He really doesn’t want to be re-employed by the New Demon King’s Army!

"Another example is Miss Aqua's sect, the Archbishop of the Axis Cult. The other party has superb mating, ahem, and communication skills with monsters that directly point to one's nature."

After coughing twice, Miss Fortune Teller quickly corrected her statement.

"Hey, you're talking about mating, I heard it. He's not a serious guy, is he?!"

Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!

Megumin asked with a dark face.

"It's not serious at all, but in my prediction, Axisism became the world's number one religion in troubled times because of the development of the other party."

Well, the New Demon King's army has already chosen a monster diplomat. As for whether the other party is willing, with Aqua, the goddess of water who is believed in, there will be no problem. As a fanatical believer of the Axis Cult, To such an extent, I'm afraid it only needs an oracle to solve it.

"In addition to recruiting monsters and letting them engage in production, I think it would be a good idea for you, Megumi, to ask people in the kingdom for money."

Darkness said again.

"Hey, didn't you say you won't be forced to donate?"

Huihui was a little stunned.

"I'm not asking you to ask for money from Alice, but I'm asking you to ask for money from the three kingdoms."

Darkness quickly explained.

"Ah, how is it possible to get this?"

Yoyo's eyes widened.

"No, get it."

Megumin's eyes lit up.

"As long as the threat from the New Demon King's Army is terrifying enough, then we will get it."

Huihui had many thoughts at this moment.

"Let's talk about cutting costs again, but you have to talk to those in your village who are willing to help you form the Red Devils Army. As long as they are willing to take relatively less money, cutting costs will naturally not be a problem."< br>

After the meeting, Broly and others approached the village chief of the Red Devil Village, who was also Yoyo's father.

"What, this world is going to be war in the future, Megumin, you want to become the Demon King and establish a new Demon King Army in order to prevent the war?"

"It's the Red Devils. I need help from the people in the village. Of course, it's paid help. However, I hope everyone can ask for a smaller salary. It would be better if they don't."

Listening to Megumin's words, Yoyo's father rubbed his chin.

"I really can't make the decision on this, but I can help you gather people in the village, and you can talk to everyone yourself."

evening.

"Hey, when will you send us back?"

The devil's daughter complained that their boat had been stranded in someone else's yard for most of the day.

"Go back, go back for nothing, you have been included.

Okay, stop talking nonsense and get the fish off your boat quickly.

We are going to have a grilled fish banquet in this yard tonight! ”

Aqua loves banquets so much. She just held a banquet last night and will host another one tonight.

The old devil and his daughter: "..."

He wanted to refute but saw the Saiyan boy working to move fish. He had no choice but to accept that the two of him were temporarily trapped.

"Everyone..."

In the yard of Huihui's house, a group of Red Devils came in the evening, and Huihui was not afraid to get on the boat to speak. The content was simply that she wanted to become the Red Devil King for the sake of righteousness.

Therefore, she hopes to get the support of her fellow villagers. She hopes that all of her fellow villagers can come to her place and become the cattle and horses of the future Red Devils Army. It is best to bring your own dry food for free.

The result was as Miss Soquet expected. Except for the younger children of the Red Demon Tribe who did not need to bear the burden of real life at the moment, the other adults all had a look of embarrassment on their faces.

"Megumin, although we want to support your demon king career, we also need to live. I hope you can understand us."

"Yes, yes, it's okay to help with punches occasionally, but it's a big problem to always help with punches."

"Everyone, everyone, I will not give you any salary now, only a small amount of salary. That is because the Red Devils have not yet started. But in the future, when our Red Devils start to take off and have enough earning power, we will definitely pay everyone wages. .”

Megumin's cake is big and round, but unfortunately, the red demon tribe doesn't like eating cakes very much.

"Huihui, I don't think you can grasp the identity of the Red Devil King. Why don't you let me help you grasp it? Uncle, I have a lot of wealth and am the largest landowner in the Red Devil clan. I can also give you money when the time comes. ”

Oh, it’s not wrong not to like to eat pie, but to like to eat bigger pieces of pie.

Rather than becoming soldiers of the unorganized future Red Devil Army, some wealthy Red Devil clan adults would rather become the Red Devil King, the ultimate villain and the enemy of mankind.

They all tried to persuade Huihui to abdicate and let them, adults, take on the heavy responsibility of being the Red Devil King and dedicate themselves to the future peace of this world.

"Ah, you bastards, don't even think about taking away the identity of the Red Devil King from my hands!"

Of course Huihui didn't want to let it go.

"Then there's nothing we can do. We can only do business on a business basis. You have to give us enough salary before we can help you."

The adults of the Crimson Demon clan shrugged and expressed their inability to do anything.

Of course, these adults don't really want to embarrass Megumin, but the position of the Red Devil King is actually dangerous. Rather than letting the younger generation Megumin take the risk, it is better to leave it to these adults.

After all, most of the adults of the Crimson Demon Clan can use teleportation magic and can run away directly when encountering an assassination, unlike Megumin.

Huihui was very troubled by this situation. This was a waste of time. It would be better if these bastards didn't take the opportunity to raise their own employment prices.

"Meihui, you want to save money, right? Then I have an idea."

Just when Huihui was distressed, You Gohui took the initiative to come to the door.

"Hey, I know enough, what are your ideas?"

"Anyway, you just want to scare the three kingdoms to ensure future peace. You don't really intend to go to war with the three kingdoms.

So instead of forming a real Demon King's Army with combat capabilities, it is better to form a false Demon King's Army that is more bluffing.

You can hire people from the village to have a huge scripted killing with the world as the stage! ”

Enough to say so.
