Why did the Arabastan Hero save the people and reveal the hidden side of the hero?
He saved the city but took away the wealth. Was it peace bought with money or peace protected for free?
The Seven Martial Seas, legal pirates with the right to plunder
Who can buy a lot of expensive dancing powder?
How poor is the treasury of Arabastan?
……………………
A large number of articles were spread through the cell phone in an obscure form. They did not publicly criticize Krogdal, nor did they directly say that the royal family did not use dance powder.
Instead, he was using this silent method to change people's thinking bit by bit, letting them learn to think for themselves. Why did the royal family have the money to use dancing powder all year round? If they had the money, why didn't they just buy water and bring it to the king's city? Why did they have to do this? If Krogdahl was a hero who saved the country, why did he take away the wealth plundered by the pirates?
This series of reports also reached the ears of the rebel army, but they were already muddle-headed and could not take it in. If there was no conclusive evidence, they would not believe it at all. However, a considerable number of people began to understand that things were not as simple as they thought.
This was the direction of the fishing wheel.
In the huge kingdom of Arabastan, it was too difficult to rely on illusory rumors to deny the royal family. Krogdal had spent ten years on this, but Ville was confident that he could turn his ten years of hard work into nothing in a month.
…………………………
In the palace.
Vilsis, who was once again writing a ground-cleaning article, stopped writing. Now, the sales of mobile phones had reached more than one million units. His father had been detained for two months, and the number of orders for mobile newspapers had exceeded his imagination. It was time to start the next step of the plan.
Since he started with Arabastan, he needed to build a powerful kingdom to fight against the World Government that would sooner or later go against him.
Krogdal, drought, rebel army, father, these words were written on the paper.
Now that the problem of Krokdal had been brought up on the agenda, they were still missing a crucial piece of evidence. The rebel army's goal was only because of the drought. After dealing with the rebel army, his father would naturally not be a problem. In that case... he would first deal with the drought.
He circled the word drought.
Bale stood respectfully beside Versis, acting as a loyal guardian. He still could not understand what Versis was doing, but he would not ask any more questions. This was because he had decided to serve this king wholeheartedly from the very beginning, especially after Versis displayed similar strength to General Aokiji and easily defeated Krokdal.
This king was undoubtedly a god in his heart.
Only Jalang Jaka was still concerned about the fact that the old King Kobra had been detained by the rebel army for two months.
"Your Majesty, your father has been detained by the rebels, and your sister is missing. Aren't you worried at all?”he asked.
" Jaka." Verses finally stopped thinking." Do you think that a restless king is the successor that father hopes for?"”
Jaka was speechless and calmed down a little. However, he still felt cold towards Verses 'indifference.
" Herald, I want to announce a new decree." Versis ignored Gaica." From today onwards, stop using money from the national treasury to buy water resources to support the country.”
Jaka's heart was instantly filled with rage, his face flushed red.
"Your Majesty! Are you saying that His Majesty Cobra's decree is wrong?”
Versis ignored him. There was no point in arguing with someone who didn't understand his thoughts. Why would he slap his own people in the face? So he patiently explained.
" No, Jaka. The wealth of the royal family is not endless. It is better to teach people to fish than to give them fish. With the Santora River as the center, we can build a water pipeline that runs north-south and connect it to the major cities along the route. We can deliver drinking water day and night. By then, the entire Arabastan will no longer have a shortage of water. I call this project…the River of Life.”
This was based on the famous South-to-North Water Diversion Project in his previous life.
Jaka's face was filled with anger as he stood there in a daze. He felt his scalp go numb just by imagining the policies described by Verses.
What a great project!
Jaka's anger did not disappear, and he even scoffed at it. He felt that this was just a matter of course because Verses was too young.
" Do you know that the Kingdom of Arabastan has been standing on this land for thousands of years? The kingdom had existed long before the World Government was established. However, no royal family has ever made such earth-shattering achievements in thousands of years, because it requires a huge amount of wealth and manpower. It is difficult to complete it even at the expense of the entire country!”Jaka said in a deep tone.
"Of course I know." said Versis.
"Then do you still want to make this decision?" Jaka.
" Jaka." Versus stood up." How much does it cost?"”
Jaka silently calculated.
"At least 50 billion Bailey and more than 200,000 people.”
Vercius laughed. He was really shocked. Fortunately, he could handle it.
"I'll give you 100 billion Bailey and 300,000 manpower!”
" 100 billion?!" Jaka was stunned. He really could not imagine what kind of huge number that was. How could this king possibly take it out!
One had to know that the entire royal family now relied on selling the treasures in the palace to survive. Even if they sold the palace, it would at most be less than 50 Bailey, and this was the accumulation of the past kings!
" This money will be divided into ten batches. The first batch is five billion. Now, follow Bale to the warehouse to collect it. All the armed forces in the kingdom, including the Bird's Claw Army and the Karu Duck Army, are at your disposal.”
The regular army had been deployed to confront the rebel army. At this time, only this insignificant force in the entire capital could be freely deployed.
"You…really have that many Bailey?”Jaka's face was flushed red as he asked, afraid that Will would reply that he was just joking or lying to him.
"I can testify for His Majesty. How do you think the person in front of you can become the monarch I swear allegiance to? It's just 100 billion Bailey.”Bale, who was at the side, felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, especially when he thought of the countless times when Jaka looked at him and sighed secretly, looking down on him as he followed behind Wilcius.
Now, time will prove to you who is the truly amazing monarch!
King Cobra was indeed impressive, but this new king was the true savior of Arabastan!
With the potential of cell phones, he believed that even if he sold them all over Arabia, he could earn hundreds of billions of Bailey.
