Chapter 316 Ten billion rewards! (Updated)
Hearing Finance Minister Brian's concerns, Su Yu, Ali Jie and Tina couldn't help but smile.
Tina whispered: "Sir Brian, actually."
At this time, Su Yu tugged on Tina's sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.
After Tina understood the meaning and closed her mouth, Su Yu sighed and pretended to blame herself:
"Brian, you are right. I think this operation was not done well. The value of the loot seized is very different from expected."
Seeing Su Yu's expression, Brian took a deep breath: "Tell me, how much did you seize this time?"
Not only Brian, but all the eyes in the hall were focused on Su Yu.
Alijie knew that Su Yu was teasing them, but she didn't reveal it. She sat back on the throne and looked at the group of courtiers at the foot of the steps with interest.
"Alas!" Su Yu sighed again, drooped his head, and stretched out three fingers to wave in front of the ministers: "Probably that's all."
"3 billion?" Brian frowned.
The target set by Her Royal Highness for Nemesis is 30 billion. Since Nemesis has not reached the target, the meaning of extending three fingers is most likely 3 billion.
"Your Majesty Nemesis, you really messed up this time. 3 billion is indeed too little." Brian said sadly.
"Wait a minute, I didn't say 3 billion." Su Yu interrupted him.
"It can't be 300 million, right?!" After saying these words, Brian's blood pressure suddenly jumped up.
300 million is not even enough for military spending!
Moreover, at this juncture when the two empires of Lane and Wind Chime are about to come to find trouble, they have offended the surrounding small countries but have not reaped any benefits. Will Plantagenet's recent momentum of resurgence be cut off because of this?
The surrounding ministers also looked at Su Yu helplessly.
In the past, they thought Nemesis was very powerful and had miraculous prophecies, so they supported Her Royal Highness to marry Nemesis, an adventurer from another world with an uncertain future.
But I didn't expect the nemesis to make things so bad. Could it be that his prophecy ability has failed?
Seeing the expressions of the ministers around him, Su Yu decided not to tease them anymore.
So Su Yu smiled and said: "Actually, it's not 3 billion, let alone 300 million."
"Is it 30 million?!" Brian covered his heart. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in this part of the body.
"Of course it's not 30 million." A black line popped up on Su Yu's forehead: "It's 300 billion! To be precise, the total is 336.7 billion, which is 11 times the original target!"
As soon as Su Yu's words came out, the entire hall immediately became silent.
The ministers all looked at Su Yu dumbfounded, and even the documents in many ministers' hands fell to the ground and were not picked up for a long time.
The hall fell into an eerie silence, as if you could hear the sound of a pin dropping.
336.7 billion!
How on earth did Nemesis and Marshal Garcia do it?
The "30 billion" in the Princess Plan can be said to be a normal expectation, but Nemesis and Marshal Garcia actually exceeded the target by so much! Don’t the countries in the Western Continent show any resistance at all?
Although there are some small countries distributed in the Western Continent, these small countries also have considerable power when united.
The ministers really couldn't figure out how to scrape off such thick oil and water from them.
Finance Minister Brian shook his head, suppressing the explosion of thoughts in his mind, and then asked tremblingly: "Your Excellency Nemesis, are you, everything you said true?"
Before Su Yu could answer, Alizee, who was sitting on the throne, spoke up: "Every word of Nemesis's words is true. The numbers I received are indeed so many, and they are well-documented." Tina also nodded in time: "That's right. , Nemesis and I seized a total of 336.7 billion in loot, of which I only seized more than 100 billion, and the bulk of it was taken by Nemesis.”
Next, Tina briefly explained Su Yu's strategy for this operation in the Western Continent.
In particular, the two parts about "raiding Haiyan City" and "recruiting Hills Alliance as thugs" are highlighted.
After listening to Tina's description, the ministers present were completely convinced.
Not to mention anything else, just saying "raid on Haiyan City" would make it difficult for ordinary decision-makers to make a decision, because it is really too risky!
And to make decisions in a very short period of time, only a human like Nemesis who is proficient in prophecy would be so unscrupulous!
Brian lowered his head and babbled: "Lord Nemesis, I didn't expect you to be so powerful! Now the government's debt has been completely paid off, and we also have more budget to invest in the founding ceremony and post-war reconstruction. No, the top priority is to Preparing for Her Royal Highness’s coronation ceremony”
Brian spoke incoherently, his face flushed with excitement.
Alijie walked down from the throne and came to Su Yu and Tina: "You two have made great achievements this time, how should I reward you?"
"This." Su Yu saluted respectfully: "You have the final say, as long as you think it's appropriate."
Tina also nodded and said: "I think so too."
"Okay then." Alijie didn't think long before she made a decision: "Since you have brought back more than 300 billion worth of loot, I will give each of you 10 billion! How about it?"
"10 billion?!" A gasp sounded in the hall.
Of course, the ministers present knew the weight of 10 billion.
In addition to fixed assets such as shops, land, manors, etc., the top nobles of the empire like the Lord of Pearl City have disposable assets in the order of billions.
The princess waved her little hand and gave 10 billion to Nemesis and Tina each! This can no longer be described as "heroic"!
Su Yu and Tina were also completely stunned.
This is 10 billion!
Su Yu once owned tens of billions, so he knew how valuable these 10 billion were.
With these 10 billion, he will have no shortage of resources from the sixth level to the seventh level! Just buy, buy, buy!
Tina had no idea about "10 billion", and she didn't have to burn materials to level up like Su Yu.
But she secretly thought: "With such a large sum of money, I can use it to help poor children in the country and provide them with learning opportunities. This can also help the princess reduce the pressure on grassroots governance."
Seeing that the two people in front of her were silent, Alijie couldn't help but smile and said: "Since you are silent, it's a happy decision! I will give you the money after the trophies are auctioned."
Su Yu also received a game prompt that the mission was completed:
"Ding, your main plot [Plantagenet Empire (86-95)/100] has been completed!"
"You have received a reward: 10 billion psychic coins. Please go to [Prince Alijie] to receive it."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Su Yu was very grateful!
"You're welcome, you deserve this." Alijie said with a smile, and at the same time took the [Plantagenet Chain] from Su Yu's hand and carefully put it on her neck.
