Chapter 241 The King Is Also Short of Money

After finding out the specific type of this Devil Fruit, Ling Yu stood up and stretched.

After closing the thick leather book in his hand, he left the Nafirutari family's vault with the Devil Fruit box.

As for the piles of books randomly placed on the table, someone will naturally clean up at that time.

The secret treasury of the Nafirutali family is not completely closed. After all, these books are usually maintained by people, but those who maintain them are loyal and good people who know the bottom line, or they are simply out of the side of the Nafirutali family. Just a member of the department.

After leaving the secret vault of the Nafirutali family, Ling Yu walked straight back to his room in the palace, intending to take a good sleep.

The next morning, Cobra was eating breakfast alone in the dining room. From time to time, he glanced at the place that Ling Yu used to do before, as if wondering why his very self-disciplined son didn't come out for breakfast on time today.

Ikalem, who was standing behind Cobra, saw His Majesty the King's small movements, and deliberately stepped forward and whispered in Cobra's ear.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has been reading documents in the secret vault last night, and did not return to his room to rest until it was dawn this morning! Do you want me to inform His Highness if you have something to do?"

Cobra listened to Ikalem's words before understanding why Ling Yu did not come out today.

Kobra shook his head with a laugh. He understood why Ling Yu had turned the information so late. After all, Ling Yu had told him before that he came back this time to find out about himself through the Nafirutali family's collection of books. What is the power of the Devil Fruit in his hand?

So he is not surprised about Ling Yu's behavior, but he is laughing at Ling Yu's fact that he will find out the dawn.

"If that's the case, then tell the palace to be quiet today! As for Xiaoyu, don't disturb him for the time being. Let's talk about it when he wakes up! By the way, let's go and have some warm food, and Xiaoyu can eat it when he wakes up." Bra finished smiling and told Ikalem.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

After speaking, Ikalem left the restaurant and passed on Cobra's order.

Cobra, on the other hand, sped up his meal and walked out of the restaurant to start a busy day.

On this day, the usually quiet palace seemed even more quiet. After feeling this strange atmosphere, even the chirping birds were much quieter on weekdays.

When Ling Yu woke up, he found that the sun had already reached three poles. He looked at the clock on the wall and found that it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.

Ling Yu shook his head that was still a little confused, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After walking out of the room, Ling Yu's whole person already looked a lot more energetic.

After walking out of his room, Ling Yu walked straight to the restaurant, intending to fill his stomach first.

Along the way, he found that today's palace seemed to be a little quiet, so he deliberately released his own knowledge and domineering to feel it.

After discovering that everything in the palace was normal, he secretly laughed at whether he was making a fuss.

But after all, is it safe to be careful? A little more caution is always good.

Next, Ling Yu filled his stomach with today's breakfast and lunch in the restaurant of the palace, and then he was satisfied to find Kobra who was discussing something with several ministers in the study next to the main hall.

Ling Yu listened at the door for a while, and found that they were talking about money and materials that needed to be consumed in those places.

The military minister smiled wryly over there, having a headache for the food and salaries that the army needs to consume next.

The Minister of People's Livelihood complained constantly about the supplies needed to resettle the victims and rebuild the city.

The environment minister is struggling with how to restore Alabasta's drought-induced environmental problems.

The finance minister is blowing his nose and staring at the complaining ministers above. Are you short of money? Now the treasury is more short of money than you. Not only is it short of money, but it is also short of food. Now a lot of food in Alabasta has to be imported from other grain-producing kingdoms because of the drought.

Fortunately, which of His Royal Highness's partners can provide rain for Alabasta, otherwise the lack of water will be a big problem!

These ministers can be said to be the most aware of the current situation of the Kingdom of Alabasta. Everyone is well aware of the financial situation of the Kingdom of Alabasta, but if there is a lack of money, many of their jobs cannot be carried out!

These ministers could only look at Cobra and then look at each other with a wry smile.

Cobra, who was sitting on the seat, was also very worried about this, and he was able to take out another fund from the private treasury of the Nafirutali family for emergency use.

After several ministers received a temporary emergency fund, although they were a little relieved, they all withdrew with sorrow.

After all, this emergency fund will not solve the problem at all! But they can't always let the king's own private treasury fill the emptiness of the treasury!

So when they quit one by one, they all had a bitter face, and then they thought about how to use the funds where they were most needed, and then tried to see if they could save a little money from that place and use it elsewhere.

But after seeing Ling Yu at the door, they still managed to squeeze out a smile and greeted Ling Yu.

After the ministers all retreated, Ling Yu and Koubra became more casual. Kobra seemed to have temporarily forgotten his previous worries in front of Ling Yu, and laughed and joked that Ling Yu didn't go to bed until dawn. matter.

Ling Yu looked at the smile on Kobra's face and understood that Kobra didn't want to worry about himself because of what happened just now.

After thinking about it, Ling Yu temporarily stopped telling Kobra that he might get a lot of gold on the island this time.

Let's talk to him after you bring the gold back from the sky island!

Otherwise, it would be bad if something changed and delayed, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

After chatting with Cobra for a while, Ling Yu told Cobra that he would temporarily leave Alabasta in a few days.

Regarding Ling Yu's departure from Alabasta in a few days, Kobra was reluctant, but he didn't ask too much. After all, it was normal for a child to have his own affairs.

In addition, Kobra also knew that Ling Yu also had a huge Baroque work club to manage. He thought that there was something in the Baroque work club that Ling Yu needed to deal with.

Before parting, Kobra deliberately reiterated to Ling Yu that he must notify him in time if he encounters a similar incident to the previous drought Jack, and he will find a way to solve it like this time.

Ling Yu could only agree to this with a smile.

That night, Ling Yu once again accompanied Kobra to eat a sumptuous and warm dinner, and then fluttered his wings and flew away from Albana again.
