Chapter 652 Is He Crazy?

Why the Duchy of Wessen rose in such a short time is what almost all lords want to know the answer to. It has supported countless scholars, so much so that a subject called "Wessenology" has emerged in recent years. The city of Wessenburg has also published an academic journal called "Wessen Research" with a high impact factor.

Many scholars have deeply analyzed the economy, politics, military, people's livelihood, culture, officials and Frederick of the Duchy of Wessen from all aspects, and even the dawn who eats and drinks at the zoo every day has not been missed.

The conclusions drawn from the research are varied. For example, the leader must be an orphan, so that some noble families have recently become popular with orphan-style raising, and children are sent out of the house when they are eight years old to be self-reliant.

In addition, it has been recently discovered that there is a budget agency in all levels of government departments in the Duchy of Wessen. Accurate and ruthless budgets can enable decision makers to better coordinate the use of funds, reduce waste in government spending, and spend limited money on more places.

The paired assistance action between the Duchy of Wessen and the Bohemia region naturally requires the budget department to prepare relevant budgets. By comparing the current damage and restoration goals of various places, the content of the work to be carried out is analyzed, and then the relevant quotas are applied to estimate the required expenses.

Maria summarized the relevant documents, counted the action budgets at all levels, and finally came up with a complete assistance plan, in which the amount of assistance reached seven figures.

Frederick always hugged Maria's neck from behind, pressed his chin on her head, and looked at the final amount in silence.

Maria said: "If you want the Bohemia region to restore production and life in the shortest time, you need to invest a total of 1.315 million florins in four years."

Her voice became lower and lower at the end, which is equivalent to the Duchy of Wessen investing almost all of its central fiscal revenue in the Bohemia region in the next four years.

Fortunately, half of it is spent by local governments, and the central government can still ensure that those who eat fiscal food will not starve to death, but at least all public infrastructure projects will be suspended, and a large number of construction workers will be unemployed.

If the Wesson bills were mature in the market in a few years, the printing press could be turned into Mars, but it was not possible now.

Maria whispered: "This plan is too hasty. Too much money is invested at once. Let's forget it."

She saw that Frederick did not speak for a long time. It was obvious that this plan was too outrageous and impossible to achieve.

Frederick suddenly asked her: "Do you want to realize this plan?"

Maria was about to say forget it, but hesitated for a while, and finally said: "People here live too miserably, I want to help them."

"But..."

She couldn't finish her words because Frederick's fingers pressed on her lips.

Frederick said solemnly: "Since you want to help, then help, I will take care of the money."

"Ah?!" Maria didn't expect him to say that, "It will be a problem to take out so much money at once."

Maria was in an idealized state when she made the plan just now. This is a common method. First, assume that the plan can be implemented perfectly, then add factors that can cause influence, big and small, and finally modify and improve it continuously.

The biggest problem with this plan is where the money comes from. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to make changes such as reducing the amount and extending the investment time.

Previously, the war broke out in the north, and the Duchy of Wessen spent a large amount of extra military expenses, which had a great impact on the operation of the government.

Maria, as the Minister of Culture, understood this very well, and naturally knew how much damage the Duchy of Wessen would cause to the entire duchy if it took out such a large sum of money at once.

"Forget it." She didn't want to embarrass Frederick, "Let's extend the time to ten years."

Extending the time can first develop the gold mining area, which can recover blood, and the actual investment will be much less.

Frederick pinched her nose and said with a smile: "Who do you think I am? Money is not a problem."

"Just start promoting this plan, and I will get the money for you next year."

Now Frederick's idea is very simple. He will naturally provide all-round help for what his wife wants to do.

Ten minutes before getting off work today, an urgent telegram was delivered to Psyche's desk.

After reading it, Psyche was silent for a moment, then rode her motorcycle to the telegraph office, and stood by the transceiver to confirm the identity of the other Frederick using various code words, even using the "Palace Jade Wine".

"Crazy!" Psyche shook her head, "Really crazy."

The next morning, the Supreme Ministerial Council held an emergency meeting. Twenty minutes after the meeting, all the participants ran to the telegraph office to confirm whether the person on the other side was Frederick. Old Franz even asked how old Frederick was when he wet the bed for the last time.

Frederick replied "Get lost", and old Franz said that the person on the other side was really him.

The meeting resumed, and even Frick had a headache. He kept flipping through the book of Frederick's quotations, not knowing what to do.

Others were also frowning. The extra expenditure of more than one million florins in four years was not a serious blow to the principality's finances, but a bone-sucking blow.

The actuaries and analysts of Wessen Bank sent the assessment report with the ink still wet. Now the bonds issued by the Principality of Wessen are close to the warning line. Issuing more than 100,000 florins of bonds will increase the repayment risk.

Everyone finally looked at Dinghaishenzhen. At present, only Psyche could persuade Frederick.

Psyche frowned, handed a document to others, and said, "This is the confidence of Wessen."

Father Arms joked to ease the atmosphere: "Is Grand Duke Wesson going to the Holy City to kidnap everyone from the Pope to the monks for ransom? In that case, he can get twice as much money."

No one took this up and read the document carefully.

Psyche said: "This is confidential. You just need to know it. Don't spread it."

After reading the document, Frick was surprised and said: "The hundreds of tons of gold are there!"

Omet couldn't wait to stick his head over and said in surprise: "This matter must be kept secret. If we can go there, others can go too."

No mistake, one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one book, one bar, one bar!

"But where can our current transportation go?"

Psyche sighed and said: "If you are all willing to go crazy with Wesson, it's not impossible."

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, that's hundreds of tons of gold, more than one million florins is about five tons.

That afternoon, the hourly news on Wesson Radio Station suddenly broke out a shocking news for everyone.

In the city of Londinium, Count Duval rushed into the palace with a telegram, not caring that Charles was having dinner, and said anxiously: "The Duchy of Wessen announced the 'Maria Plan', which will provide 1.33 million florins of economic assistance to the Bohemian region for four consecutive years starting from next year 1038, for the reconstruction of the region."

Charles was stunned for five minutes before saying: "Can you say it again?"

Count Duval presented the telegram, and after reading it, Charles said: "Is he crazy?"

In the Kingdom of Piast, Casimir was choked by wine when he heard the news.

After the Osmaga Empire withdrew from the Bohemian region, he regarded it as his own property, and ate it after freeing his hands.

The envoy of the Kingdom of Angland said that Frederick had found a lot of gold there, but he didn't believe it. His country had fought for decades there, and he knew how much gold there was. It was estimated that Frederick just regarded it as another Helvetic Federation.

However, now Casimir began to doubt in his heart.

According to Frederick's style, there must be treasure worth at least two million florins, or Frederick is crazy.

The question is, is Frederick crazy?

On the front line of the Kingdom of Tarragona, old Louis had just arranged this year's autumn offensive. After receiving the news, he was silent for a long time, and then asked the envoy to go to the Kingdom of Piast.

In the Kingdom of Sardinia, Diberli City, Francesco was having dinner with Pope Valentine.

When they heard the news, they looked at each other.

Francesco said: "Is this just propaganda?"

Valentin said uncertainly: "Is he crazy?"

Many people thought that Frederick was crazy, but in the Duchy of Wessen, there was a group of people who went crazy with him.
