Chapter 348 Timeline Jumping
After dealing with the Unohana family's affairs, Arthur took the time to meet Hitsugaya Toshiro again!
This Hitsugaya Toushiro is completely different from the one he remembers!
The one in my memory, who has always been called a genius boy, always showed a calm and calm look in front of outsiders!
And this Hitsugaya Toushiro, perhaps because he has been sick before and rarely sees outsiders, his appearance in front of Arthur always makes people feel a little timid!
Of course, both have similarities.
That is the attitude is quite serious, and judging from the eyes he secretly looked at Arthur with all the light, he also has excellent observation skills.
Overall, Arthur is very satisfied with Hitsugaya Toshiro!
As for his timid appearance, Arthur thinks that as long as he can get to know more people and get out and about, he should be fine! ——
The study of the Royal Palace of St. Martin.
"This year's total national income is 19.533 billion St. Martin's dollars, an increase of more than 200% compared to last year!"
"Among them, military expenditures, including military wages, ordnance production, military logistics, military benefits, etc., add up to about 4 billion St. Martin's coins, which is twice as much as last year!"
"The Ministry of Industry's expenditures, including infrastructure construction in various places, road repairs, and scientific research expenditures of the Academy of Sciences, etc., are about 4.5 billion St. Martin's coins, which has tripled compared to last year!"
"."
"The royal family's income is 10 percent of the country's total income, which is 1,953.3 million Saint Martins!"
"To sum up, this year's total expenditure is 17.53 billion St. Maarten, and there is a surplus of 2.03 billion St. Maarten. With the surplus of previous years, the remaining money in the treasury is now four 1.37 billion St. Martin's, and 93.9 billion Bailey's reserves!"
Arthur murmured and wrote down this year's financial statements!
He can see a lot from this year's financial statements!
For example, although the Kingdom's annual income this year has only increased by 200% compared to last year, it is not as much as last year's 300 increase, but after careful calculation, you can see that the actual increase is more than last year!
If the previous year, last year, and this year's income are added together, the income of the previous year is the base one, and last year's income increased by 300%, that is, last year's income was three, and this year's income increased by more than 200% , that is, this year's income is six!
One, three, six, and three comparisons, it is clear at a glance!
Similarly, although military spending this year has only tripled, it is a little more than tripled last year!
This year, the Second Army of the Army was established, and the change of clothes, as well as wages, benefits, etc. is a lot of money. In addition to the Second Navy Fleet being prepared, the new ship construction required is also a The sum of money is not small, and it is normal to add up to 200%!
Simply put, most of the kingdoms dealt with this year are based on brains, and the losses are very small, otherwise the military expenditure this year is estimated to be even higher!
The biggest increase this year is undoubtedly the Ministry of Industry!
It tripled last year and tripled this year!
The reason for such a large increase is not only the normal construction of bridges and roads, and the digging of subways after the expansion of the site, but the main reason is the expenditure on scientific research!
This year, whether it's the doctors dug from the Drum Kingdom or the biological data from the Tik Kingdom, it's all about scientific research. Therefore, this year's scientific research expenditure has skyrocketed, and the entire Ministry of Industry's expenditure has been increased at once!
"call--"
After reading it, Arthur took a deep breath, put down the financial statement in his hand, and showed a satisfied expression!
In general, the development of the Kingdom of St. Martin this year is quite in line with his expectations.
"This year's goals have basically been achieved, so next year will also work hard to achieve them!" After sighing, Arthur murmured with a smile, "However, let's prepare for the New Year first, this year's family members have increased a lot. what!"
——
On the evening of December 30, 1502, the Haiyuan calendar.
Inside the Palace of Saint Martin.
A long oval table was placed in the center of the main hall, and this table was filled with all kinds of exquisite dishes!
In addition to the rare delicacies, there are also hot pots, dumplings, dumplings, rice cakes, wontons, long noodles, fish, etc., which were necessary for Arthur's past New Years, regardless of the north and south!
At this time, the entire Arthur family was gathered around this long table, eating the reunion dinner in full swing!
Compared with previous years, there are quite a few new members in their family this year, Lucia, Dianne, Unohwa Lie, Unohwa Hachiryu, Perona, and the shameless LeBlanc who just stayed in the palace. The salted Miss Stone Spirit.
In addition, Arthur also called Yamamoto Yuanyuzhai Shigekuni and Unohana Onitomaru. It can be said that the number of Arthur's family this year has nearly doubled compared to previous years!
"Come and eat this!"
"Mom, I want to eat that!"
"Dad, I want to eat that, give me a clip!"
"Come on, father, try this!"
"Brother Arthur, ah-"
The family ate the reunion dinner in a warm atmosphere.
And this meal lasted for several hours. It was not until eleven o'clock that everyone put down their chopsticks and went back to their rooms to clean up their clothes!
Until eleven fifty-five, the family gathered again on the palace wall of the Royal Palace of Saint Martin!
"Dad, when will it start?" Arturia asked Arthur in a tender voice.
Arthur smiled and said to Arturia, who was in his arms, "Baby, start right away, there are five minutes left!"
"Five minutes left? But I want to see it now!" Arturia said with a pouting mouth.
"Then let's watch it now!" Arthur said, rubbing her head.
"Really?" Artoria said in surprise.
"real!"
After Arthur nodded with a smile, he stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers.
"Snapped!"
The sound of the fingers snapping is not loud, but it seems to have caused a chain reaction, the next moment!
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
Fireworks burst into the sky one after another, piercing the night sky.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
And when they flew to a certain level, they all exploded one by one, and colorful and brilliant fireworks exploded in the dark night sky, and these fireworks also illuminated the entire city of Saint Martin, and illuminated the city of Saint Martin. The colorful, like a fairyland on earth!
Looking at this scene, Arthur looked into the distance and murmured, "The new year is here!"
