Chapter 1456 Arthur's Troubles

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest!" In the Cangyan Empire Palace, a gray-haired civil servant gently urged Arthur, who was still reviewing documents.

"It's almost finished. There's no time left." Arthur did not stand up, but continued to hold the remaining documents in front of him. "After the war, it is very troublesome to finish the work!"

"If you do this every day, your body will be overwhelmed." The civil servant advised in a low voice.

"I'm not old enough to handle this matter well," Arthur looked back at him, "Go and rest!"

"Your Majesty is still here, how can I leave?" The civil servant lowered his head.

"Then just wait a little longer, and it will be approved soon!" Arthur put down the document in his hand and picked up another one. "It requires military pay again. It's gold coins, gold coins, gold coins all day long..."

"There is no way around this!" The civil servant smiled bitterly, "Whether it is the war with the Sea Clan or the war with the Dragon of Darkness, our army has suffered great losses. Nowadays, there is a shortage of soldiers, weapons and equipment, and military rations, no matter which city it is. "

"Hey! I know, I know, but I can't conjure so many gold coins out of thin air." Arthur felt a headache. "How about asking for some tribute from the vassal country?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid not many countries can use it now." The civil servant shook his head, "After all, everyone participated in those two wars!"

"Those vassal countries with richer resources are at least better off, right?"

"Having said that, they must also give priority to solving their own domestic difficulties. If Your Majesty forces tribute from these vassal countries, it will only make them dissatisfied and alienated from our country!"

"Hey! I have a headache... Where do I get these gold coins from?" Arthur threw the document in his hand aside and picked up another one again, "Doesn't this also require gold coins?"

The civil servant said nothing. Although he was not qualified to read these documents, he could guess that the contents must be similar. The documents that His Majesty reviewed all night were from almost every city asking for money.

"Huh?" Arthur was suddenly startled when he opened the document. "Is this an invitation letter from Holy Dragon City?"

"Holy Dragon City?" The civil servant was a little surprised, "Lord Keen?"

"Holy Dragon City will hold a wedding banquet in half a month to celebrate the wedding of City Lord Keen and Tina Conte, Perrin, Christina, and Amy..." Seeing this, Arthur suddenly frowned. , "Newly married? Aren't Mr. Keen and the three previous ladies already married a long time ago? And who is this Mrs. Amy who appears out of nowhere?"

"Your Majesty, if you are inviting a wedding banquet, the information of the man and the woman should be written down in detail." The civil servant reminded in a low voice.

Arthur was right. How could he forget this? He quickly turned the page and skipped the information on Keen, Tina, Perrin and Christina. After all, he had obtained the corresponding information before, but the one named Amy made him a little confused.

"Princess Amy Boyle of the Island Kingdom of Yilan...it turns out to be her!" After seeing the introduction, he immediately understood, "Although I have never seen her before, I have long heard that Juan has a daughter whom he loves very much. , the name is Amy, but why did Lord Keen suddenly marry the princess of the Elan Island Kingdom? There seems to be no explanation here..."

"No matter what, we cannot refuse the invitation from Holy Dragon City!" the civil servant reminded cautiously.

"Of course I know," Arthur frowned, "but what should I do with this gift? Will Sir Keen be angry if I get too little? But our finances are tight now, and the country is extremely short of gold coins... Help me think about it Thinking, what should I do?”

The civil servant immediately lowered his head and thought carefully, and Arthur himself was not idle either. The two of them looked at the document and thought about it for a long time.

"Yes!" The civil servant suddenly clapped his hands, "Your Majesty, the gift does not have to be gold and silver. Don't we have mines in the country? It is said that Lord Keen has been buying various ores from the dwarves in order to build the Holy Dragon City. Why don't we buy them? We can offer various rare minerals as gifts, and maybe we can negotiate a business deal with Lord Keen and exchange the minerals for district gold coins, which will lead to a shortage of gold coins in the country!”

"Yes!" Arthur was overjoyed when he heard this.

"This is a good idea. If we can reach a deal with Lord Keen, it will indeed greatly alleviate our domestic difficulties. But how to convince Lord Keen..."

"Your Majesty, you can bring along Master Chelsea and Her Royal Highness the Princess. They should be easier to talk to when traveling with you. Also, didn't you adopt an adopted daughter named Leah? Now she also has territory in Holy Dragon City, and she and Ji Sir, if Princess Leia can also help, this matter will be done with less effort!"

"It makes sense!" Arthur nodded. "Master Keen is very good to his wife. If my daughter can find a breakthrough from the ladies, this matter will be fine. It's really depressing to think about it, Juan I have a daughter, and I also have a daughter. How could his daughter be able to get along with Lord Keen? My daughter is stupid and likes Brian who joins the evil camp. Now that Brian is dead, she sighs every day, which is a headache. ! Tell me, does my stupid daughter have a chance to develop with Mr. Keen? "

"Uh~" The civil servant shook his head decisively, "Given that Her Royal Highness the Princess had some issues with Lord Keen before, and that her feelings for Brian have not disappeared until now, it should be impossible."

"That's right." Arthur nodded depressedly, and then asked, "What if she is my adopted daughter? Her relationship with Lord Keen should be okay. If it can go further..."

"It's hard to say this," the civil servant replied, "After all, we don't know much about this. But after your Majesty arrives at Holy Dragon City, you can try to make some insinuations."

"Well! If I can pair this adopted daughter with Lord Keane, it will be very beneficial to me!" Arthur thought seriously, "When I adopted her as my adopted daughter, I also considered this aspect."

"That being said, Your Majesty should not be too obvious. If Lord Keane is displeased, it will be disadvantageous to us." The civil servant reminded in a low voice.

"Of course I understand this. It is indeed important to know how to handle it well." Arthur sighed, "I hope this time I can take this opportunity to alleviate the plight of our Cang Yan Empire. The batch of gold coins that Lord Keane mentioned before for building cement roads is not ready yet! If he knows about it, will he be angry?"

"This time Lord Keane just invited you to attend the wedding banquet, and he should not mention the cement road, right?" The civil servant replied, "As long as we can successfully reach a mineral transaction with Lord Keane, maybe we can deal with it and solve our country's financial problems."

"I hope so!" Arthur had no choice at this time. No matter what, he could only give it a try.
