Chapter 821 I want the most expensive one!
A few minutes ago, at Widisner's home.
Widisner plays with his daughter.
Because today is her daughter's fifteenth birthday.
As a cabinet minister, Widisner has great power, especially when Lyon goes to the front line, the cabinet will almost take charge of all power.
Only almost, of course, because the cabinet had no power to mobilize the army.
To prevent the cabinet from dominating the system.
The military, the intelligence agency and the cabinet are in opposition to each other.
If it is in peacetime, the three parties can still check and balance each other, but once war breaks out.
If the military and the intelligence agency focus on external affairs, the cabinet will have a lot of room for maneuver.
And Widisner abruptly started his outrageous operation.
Before the Battle of Kursk, when the war with the Demon Empire broke out, Widisna had already begun to use his position as cabinet minister for personal gain.
Not only that, in the subsequent Holy Empire Liberation War, Widisna used his own special means to place a large number of his own people in the Holy Empire.
Because many young people who have just started working in Dayan do not know what feudal dregs are, this means that these young people often visit high-ranking officials as they did in the previous feudal era.
As an old man from the old times, Widisner naturally accepted these visits, and after taking office, these young people often gave Widisner gifts.
However, Widisner did not accept it directly. Instead, he transferred it to his children through various means.
It would be easy to detect if a cabinet minister accepted bribes.
But there was no way out. Widisner was very smart. He asked his children to collect the information and at the same time bribed some senior officials of the Intelligence Agency.
If Hans were still alive, he would definitely discover these tricks.
The problem is that almost two and a half of the previous three years were spent at war or planning for war.
If you want to win a war, you must prepare supplies and intelligence before the war begins.
The Intelligence Agency naturally neglected domestic intelligence surveillance.
That’s why the Widisna group was so domineering.
From the beginning, accepting gifts was enough to satisfy Widisner's appetite.
But human greed is endless. Widisner soon discovered that the gifts were too little and could not satisfy his desires at all.
What can those young officials do? Of course, they can increase their exploitation...
Because the Holy Empire had experienced war, as well as previous peasant uprisings and various natural and man-made disasters, Lyon's funding for the Holy Empire was very large.
Originally, no one could embezzle these funds, but they took advantage of Lyon's presence at the front line to supervise the battle.
Nearly a quarter of the allocated funds were misappropriated through various means.
Some may say that a quarter is not much.
But if the budget expenditure of Dayan Finance last year was only 1.4 million gold coins.
Of this, military expenditure accounted for 4000 million.
Education and other projects accounted for nearly 8000 million, while the amount allocated to the Holy Empire was as high as 2000 million gold coins.
2000 million gold coins, this is almost all the military expenditure of the army at its peak last year...
Because last year, the army became the backbone of the national defense force, and their military expenditure was naturally the highest.
However, the army used the 2000 million military expenditure to fight wars in the north and south, fight the enemy, and expand the territory.
That’s why they have 2000 million in military expenditure, but what about these parasites in the Holy Empire?
They embezzled nearly 500 million gold coins without making a sound.
One million gold coins!
And this is just the money that was embezzled from the Great Yan Finance last year, not to mention the money these parasites embezzled from the lower classes of the Holy Empire...
However, what Hans and everyone else did not expect was that more than 500 million of the 100 million gold coins went into Widisner's pocket.
Because those corrupt officials of the Holy Empire are almost all students or visitors of Widisner.
It was even so that many officials who had returned from vacation in the Holy Empire went to Widisna's mansion to pay a visit to him.
Join this money network...
Inside Widisner's mansion.
The simple furniture and interior seem to tell of Widisner's poverty.
But the scene on the table was quite different.
Because it is my daughter's birthday today, Widdisner ordered a large amount of food, and some of it was very expensive.
Although Lyon knows that expensive food is not necessarily a good thing and may lead to the emergence of some bad things, Lyon also knows that the raw materials of some foods are expensive, so the price will naturally go up.
There is no need to suppress prices and make those who work hard to find ingredients go to waste.
Widisna's monthly salary was three gold coins.
Unfortunately, even though he was a three-gold Widisner, he couldn't afford to order all the dishes...
But Venetina didn't care. Looking at these delicious foods, she seemed not to be excited at all. She picked up the food and put it into her daughter's mouth as if it was a common meal.
"Dad~ I don't want to eat this, I want to eat the fruit from the Elf Empire!"
Widisna's daughter said with a look of disgust.
However, the lobster she disliked cost nearly half a gold coin...
Leon: I've never been that rich. The poorest I ever had was only three copper coins...
However, as a cabinet minister, after hearing his daughter's disgust, Widisner did not scold her, but said indifferently.
"Okay, okay, tomorrow I'll give the order to have the Elf Empire send a batch of the most delicious food! Is that ok?"
Widisna pinched his daughter's face and said lovingly.
"The most delicious? I don't want the most delicious! I want the most expensive one!"
The daughter said with disdain, recalling her days in school.
My classmates are all so poor! What class are they in? What class am I in?
My dad is a cabinet minister! I have to live a luxurious life!
However, what my daughter didn't know was that almost all of his classmates were also sons of ministers...
And the poor child she often looked down upon was Cadice's grandson...
Hearing what his daughter said, Widisner smiled.
"Okay, but my daughter, remember not to tell anyone that our family is rich. Do you understand?"
The daughter nodded.
The wives and other relatives around couldn't help laughing.
Even if they knew, what would it matter? With our current followers, even if Leon wanted to move against us, he would have to consider his own strength!
Because Widisna has already taken control of the Holy Empire Front, which is one of the armies...
But just when everyone was about to end this happy birthday party, Yun Qingchi appeared...
"who are you?"
Widisner looked alert.
An eighth-level magician hidden in the Widisna mansion immediately appeared.
Yun Qingchi didn't say anything but just looked at the table full of dinner worth more than a dozen gold coins.
"say!"
Widisner just yelled, and the next second, he flew out and embedded in the wall.
Yun Qingchi then wiped his hands that had not made any contact at all...
The eighth-level magician was dumbfounded.
At this moment, Hans and his men broke into the room!
((≧▽≦) I want to see rivers of blood!)
