Indeed, the Lane's stall should be completely destroyed in less than two months. After hearing the princess's judgment, the Minister of Defense couldn't help but shook his head, and a rather strange sense of sadness emerged in his heart. No matter who becomes the new Lionheart Duke, he can only watch the Lane family collapse completely. And the princess and himself, who are also "supporting the stall", are facing a much better situation than him? At present, the power of the old aristocrats is deeply rooted. Nearly one-third of the more than 20 major departments are controlled by the old aristocrats. Like fat lice, they are entrenched in this country and suck blood crazily. In order to fight against the old aristocrats who controlled the House of Lords, the businessmen and parliamentarians who were raised up played a restrictive role in the early days. However, after more than a hundred years of development, they gradually became too powerful and began to use the legislative power of the House of Commons to fight for themselves. Grab profits. With the joint support of the upper and lower houses, the kingdom's control over business activities has become increasingly lax in recent years. The kingdom's business is obviously becoming more prosperous, but the taxes it can collect are rapidly decreasing. The wealth of the entire kingdom began to gather crazily in the hands of big businessmen and old nobles. They were constantly getting stronger and fatter, while ordinary people and the country were constantly getting thinner and weaker. These ills could have been suppressed at first, but the Great Patriotic War six years ago broke everything. Now the kingdom's finances have been running deficits year after year, the military is lax in armament, and rogue parties are wreaking havoc everywhere. All problems are on the verge of erupting. Even with the efforts of the two generations of royal families, the financial power has returned to the royal family. As a "Prince Daughter", she has also taken the opportunity to be promoted to the position of Minister of Defense and has the ability to intervene in the military department, but the overall situation is still not optimistic. . If the princess's reforms fail in the end and fail to eradicate these chronic diseases, then the entire kingdom will be nothing more than a cabbage that rots slowly...
… "Your Highness Veronica!" When he thought of this, the gray-haired old man took a deep breath, then tried hard to straighten his slightly rickety back, and said seriously: "After the Bloody Night of Lane, the military has a lot of vacancies with real power. I am going to take this opportunity to grab some more. If you have nothing else to discuss, then I will leave." "there is none left." After shaking her head, looking at the Minister of Defense's hair which was much whiter than last time, the princess couldn't help but feel a touch of warmth in her eyes, and she gave an additional instruction: "You haven't looked very good lately, so please pay more attention to your health. I understand that time is tight, but if you collapse due to exhaustion, then all our efforts over the years will be completely in vain. " "must!" After answering the princess vaguely, the old man refused her offer to get up and leave the room with two young officers. After his footsteps completely disappeared, the door of the room was gently opened. Knocked several times. "come in." With the slight turning of the door hinge, a young man wearing a dark woolen coat and a look of laziness on his face walked in with slumped shoulders and sat down on the chair opposite the princess. "This time things went very well." Not caring about the rudeness of the visitor, after raising the file belonging to the new Duke Lionheart in her hand, the princess smiled and asked: "A man who has just been entered into the Ryan family tree a few days ago, and whose hair is not even blond, can actually become the new Duke Lionheart... How on earth did you do it?" "It's very simple." The lazy young man raised his eyelids, took out two dice from his arms and placed them on the table. Then he explained weakly: "Without doing anything, the probability that the old Duke will choose him is only 3%. If he kills five to seven heirs and puts him in the top five, the probability will increase. It jumped directly to 15%. Afterwards, as long as he sneaks into the hospital secretly, finds the old Duke's medicine, mixes some alchemical supplements into it to speed up the heartbeat, kidnaps the granddaughter of the old Duke's most trusted housekeeper, and forces him to deliberately provoke the old Duke's emotions, the probability will increase. to thirty-six percent. "
Obviously no one touched it, but as the lazy young man told it, the two dice on the table kept beating and changing. First, one stood up with edges and corners, one with three points; then one with one point and one with five points; then one with three points and one with six points, which were exactly the same numbers as the lazy young man said. "Finally, he ordered a carriage of fruits from the banana fruit store, and secretly removed the locks of the wheels, causing the carriage to overturn at the intersection, blocking the main road leading to the hospital, delaying the arrival of Lyon, and leaving him in the mood of the old Duke. If he enters at the most exciting moment, his probability of being selected will reach 66%..." As the lazy young man narrated, the two dice on the table flipped over and turned into six o'clock, and his narration came to an end. "Then it just depends on luck." After pointing to the two dice on the table, the lazy young man concluded: "As long as things develop in the end, within this 66% range, he will be selected by the old duke. But if it is not within this range, then someone else will become the new duke." "I see." After hearing what happened, the princess gently clapped her palms twice, and then spoke in admiration: "What a wonderful ability. Even though I have cooperated with you several times, I still find it incredible after listening to you. It's just some unrelated things, but as long as you do them one by one according to the requirements, you can increase the success rate of any thing to about 60%..." "It's not about 60%, it's 66%. " After seriously correcting the princess's statement, the lazy young man pointed to the dice on the table and said: "The left dice is a ten-digit number, and the right dice is a single-digit number. The maximum number of the dice is only six, so the maximum success rate can only be 66%. " "So, have you considered changing to two ten-sided dice?" "No, only these two dice have that effect." "Okay..." After blinking with some regret, the princess took out an anonymous check, put it on the table and handed it over. "This is the agreed remuneration. Happy cooperation." "Sorry, this time there will be some extra fees. " After folding the check and putting it away, the lazy young man said seriously: "You didn't tell me before that Leon Ryan is also an employee of our Sixth Cleanup Bureau, and he is highly valued by the director, so my move this time actually took a considerable risk, so the price will be 10% higher than what we agreed on." "I can accept the increase in fees." After frowning slightly, the princess did not refute, but thought about it and made a request: "But this part of the fee was not agreed before, so as compensation, you also have to use these two dice to answer another question for me." "Okay." After nodding and agreeing to the princess's proposal, the lazy young man grabbed the dice and asked: "What do you want to ask?"
"It's the same as before." After taking a deep breath, the princess closed her eyes slightly and said softly: "What should I do to save this country?"
