The plump Lady Raglan, dressed in a newly purchased long dress from the brand "Liliel," smiled and addressed the other officials: "As the Kingdom's chief economic advisors, this is my and my husband's first week in office. Our main responsibilities are managing the port area, the market area, and the royal properties. Compared to last week, the port's cargo volume increased by 26%, and the market area's total transaction volume rose by 19%. Regarding the royal family's current investments in perfume, flower, and clothing shops, through industrial upgrading and sales expansion, a total net profit of 900,000 silver dollars has been achieved..."
puff!
Emerson spat out the tea he was drinking onto the table.
Terence was so surprised that he accidentally tore the book in his hand in two.
Cumberland rubbed his temples to steady himself and said to Lady Raglan, "Regarding the profits of the royal family's businesses, we only need to calculate the data for this week; there's no need to include previous figures."
Mrs. Raglan blinked innocently: "I was talking about this week's net profit..."
With a look of utter disbelief, Huggins whispered to Alfonso, "900,000 silver moons a week, which is 90,000 gold elixir. A top-quality warhorse costs only 90 gold elixir. Does that mean the king can easily assemble a cavalry regiment every week?!"
Mr. Raglan, looking constipated, pressed his forehead against the table and muttered under his breath, "We've received the money, but I'm afraid we won't be able to deliver on time..."
After a long while, Cumberland turned to Terence and said with difficulty, "Master Terence, tell me about the official examination."
“Oh, oh. Okay.” Terence pieced the two halves of the torn book back together and calmed himself down, saying, “The results of the legal professional examinations are out, but the final results still need His Majesty’s approval. Apart from confirming the list, which can’t proceed for the time being, other work has begun. The site selection for the Muxi Grand Court has been completed, and the renovation, installation, and interior decoration have started. Also, the Kingdom’s basic constitution and a series of civil and criminal codes have been revised and are awaiting His Majesty’s review…”
After Terence finished speaking, his disciple Elijah reported on the construction progress of the Muxi Cathedral and the Muxi Royal City: "The main construction of the Muxi Cathedral is more than 50% complete, but the craftsmen have to stop work. This is because the subsequent murals and the edicts require the king's approval before they can be drawn and sketched. The same applies to the Muxi Royal City; the outer walls and public areas are complete, but the plan for the inner city also requires the king's approval before it can proceed."
Cumberland listened to several more people speak.
Mary's proposal regarding the relocation and auditing of the royal treasury requires the King's decision.
Ulysses' plans to expand the academy require the king's approval.
The King needs to make a decision on how to properly handle the remaining issues concerning Silver Ring City.
Brother Joe wanted to change Kendi's punishment from imprisonment to a fine, but this would require the King's approval.
As he listened to the growing number of questions, Cumberland, his head throbbing with pain, turned his gaze to the empty throne and let out a long sigh.
"Your Majesty, where have you gone...?"
