In the dock of the Wang's Shipyard, there is a strange ship without sails.

Due to the wood-grain paint, from the outside, this ship is not much different from an ordinary wooden ship. Madeleine and No. 2 did not disclose the details of this ship to any subordinates, but only explained to them that yesterday. A ship that suffered a storm and damaged its mast was towed back to the shipyard and is now waiting for repairs.

In this way, no insider will spread its information.

Madeleine didn't even transfer to the navy, because no one knew if there were any agents arranged by Jonah in the navy.

Just let this giant steel ship float quietly in the dock.

That evening, it was time for Robb to talk about expenses with Miss Queen.

Robb was lazily on his stone chair, looking at the crystal ball: "Miss Queen, you have also received the steel battleship. It's time to calculate the cost with me."

The queen has long known that a ghost man is a man who wants money, and it must be impossible to build this warship for nothing, so she has already prepared her mind and said calmly: "Okay, how much does it cost?"

"I won't give you the whole number. Let's do the same." Robb smiled and said, "First of all, calculate the cost of materials. There are more than 50 tons of steel. One ton is one thousand kilograms, and one kilogram is roughly equal to one iron ingot. You know what the price of the iron ingot is, and you count it first."

Queen:"……"

After just listening to the cost of materials, the queen felt that the situation was a bit wrong.

Robb said: "Next are the manufacturing costs of the dwarf artillery, magic items, steam engines, the manual costs of the dwarf craftsmen, chimneys, axles, gears, oranges... These things are countless, I will roughly calculate it for you. one time……"

The queen "touched" the land and slapped it on the table: "You are too much, you are obviously black money."

"How?" Robb said: "Otherwise, you can do the math yourself."

The queen turned to the clerk beside her and winked. After a while, the clerk finished the calculation and handed the queen a list with trembling hands.

The queen only glanced at it, and she felt that the whole person was not good: "Really want so much? The cost... Isn't the cost of this weapon too much?"

Robb said: "Based on your current GDP, it is really difficult to build such a giant steel ship. It is estimated that you will only be able to build a dozen or so ships if you smash the pot and sell the iron to empty the treasury. But don’t be sad. As long as you develop well and do a good job of the economy, it will be much easier to build in the future."

Queen:"……"

The clerk next to him whispered: "Your Majesty, do you really want to give him such a large sum of money? You just prepared the money to rebuild the palace in the Black Earth Tower. There is only so much money. If you give it to him, the palace will be built. Nothing. Or, let's not pay the bills."

The queen shook: "Don't be foolish, this huge steel ship is a weapon of the country, how can we abandon such a weapon for the sake of building the palace? I would rather not build this ship, and send someone to send him the money. "

The clerk respectfully bowed and retired.

The queen looked at Robb a little depressed: "I finally saved some money, but it's all gone."

Robb said: "But you can solve the threats of the Dark Vatican and Norma Kingdom in one fell swoop, why not do it? I believe that wise, like you, must understand that the money is worth it."

"Well, for the long-term stability of coastal cities, powerful warships are necessary, and the money is worth it." The queen sighed slightly: "However, it is not enough to solve the threat from the sea, the enemy from the land. It’s still there. The information you told me last time. I sent someone to investigate. The Norma Kingdom has indeed reached a secret agreement with the Desert Kingdom, but the content of the secret agreement cannot even be detected by the best spies. I have reason to doubt. , The Norma Kingdom may use the Desert Kingdom to use troops to our country... Alas! This time, my plan to break Mondela’s nest in one fell swoop and unify the Gran Kingdom will be postponed again."

At this point, her tone became a little embarrassing: "When will I recover my country?"

Hearing a hint of helplessness and pain in her tone, Robb felt a little bit distressed about this woman, and said, "Politics, it's like this, you want to kill Mondela, but Mond Tightly hold the thighs of the Holy See of Light, then the Norma Kingdom will not be able to stand by. You should have been mentally prepared for it."

The queen said: "I'm just very angry. Why do bad guys like Mondela have some help? I'm obviously the righteous, but no one helps? Not only is no one helping me, there is also a ghost man who keeps cheating on my money."

"Did I lie to you for money?" Robb laughed: "Most of the money I took from you was given to the craftsmen. It was they who made weapons, sweets, and all kinds of goods for you. Things are supposed to be paid. If I provide you with these for free, the workers won’t get anything. Then, where is the fairness to them?"

The queen said: "You mean, because I am a good person, I am justice, I pay attention to fairness, so what I want to get, I must give something. And Mondela is a bad person, he does not need to pay attention to justice and fairness, just Just need to keep plundering others, so he has such an easy life?"

Robb spread his hands: "At present, it looks like this."

The queen smiled coldly: "Then, shall I be a bad person?"

"No!" Robb suddenly put on a serious face: "If you are a bad person, you may get many slaves who work for you for free, but you will also lose someone's help to you at the same time."

"Who?"

"I!"

Queen:"……"

The weird silence lasted for several seconds. Robb originally thought that the queen would pat the table and say, "You never helped me. You will only cheat on my money."

But in fact the queen didn’t say that. She didn’t say anything. She thought quietly for a while. After about thirty seconds, she suddenly showed her face and smiled. This smile was so beautiful that she was as beautiful as she was. Ju Renhuan's face is even more beautiful.

She smiled and said, "Then I should be a good person."

"Wow!"

"You wow again, I'll change my mind to be a bad person."

Robb smiled and said, "It's not that you can change it if you want to. Once the Three Views are formed, it's hard to change."

The two of them looked at each other quietly through the crystal ball. There was nothing to say for a while. After a long time, the queen said: "I'm tired, go to bed first."

"Well, let's go." Robb didn't have the yin and yang anger, but softly comforted him: "You have more help than others, but momentary difficulties don't mean anything. As long as you walk on the right path, you will definitely be able to achieve the ultimate goal. victory."

"I hope so!"
