"Our treasury is so poor that we can hear the jingle. We have also reduced their taxes for a year. Where can we still have money to give them? Can't they find ways to support themselves?" The Lion King sighed.

"Many local officials are indeed actively saving themselves, but this takes a certain amount of time. They distributed seeds to the people for free, but as a result, the people did not plant the seeds in the ground, but ate them directly." The Finance Minister said with a wry smile.

The Lion King had a calm face and didn't say anything. He knew how much a genuine farmer valued seeds. If he even ate the seeds, it would mean that they were indeed hungry and their mentality was to count on one day.

"There are all this in the place. Why is the Lion City still vigorously engaged in infrastructure construction? Why doesn't this money be used for disaster relief?" The Lion King said angrily.

"King, the construction of the Lion City is all funded by foreign capital itself, and it does not cost a penny to the treasury." The Finance Minister quickly explained.

"Can you find a way to spend their money on disaster relief?" asked the Lion King.

"This is unlikely. Merchants are aiming to make money. How can they do charity without obvious returns? It is already very good for us to introduce foreign capital now. If we formulate policies that are unfavorable to them, they are very likely to withdraw their investment. Now they are doing infrastructure in Lion City, and at least they can support tens of thousands of people in the Lion Country. If they leave, it will be even more difficult for us."

The Minister of Finance knew that the Lion King wanted to use rigid regulations to force foreign businessmen to participate in disaster relief in the Lion Kingdom, so he clearly told the Lion King the consequences of doing so, that is, to scare away those foreign merchants, and the Lion Kingdom's economy would be even more invisible to the future.

The Lion King sighed heavily and looked out the window with his eyes curled up. He didn't know how to solve the dilemma that the Lion Kingdom is facing now.

And he knew that the reason why those foreign capitals were willing to advance funds was that they were aiming at the future of the Lion Kingdom. In other words, these merchants were seizing the future of the Lion Kingdom, which made the Lion King feel even heavier.

At this moment, a guard walked in quickly and bowed to report: "King, the Vice President of the Inspectorate, asked for a visit."

According to regulations, a vice president of the inspector's office is not qualified to seek the meeting of the Lion King because his level is not enough. However, because the Lion King gave him a golden order, he became full of confidence and believed that the Lion King would definitely meet him.

The Lion King was feeling depressed and had no place to vent his feelings. Seeing that the vice president came to him, he was naturally not polite. He waved his hand and asked the Minister of Finance to leave, and signaled the guard to bring the vice president in.

The vice president bent over and walked in from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and sank on the ground and burst into tears. The Lion King couldn't help but look stunned and thought to himself: "Did Xiao Potian have already taken action?"

But on the surface, he still kept silent and asked in a calm tone: "My dear, what are you doing?"

"King, since I gave the minister Jin order, I can't sleep all night, for fear of losing the king's trust. I am so frightened that I am walking on thin ice." The vice president said with a crying voice.

"What happened? You said it straightforwardly." Seeing that the vice president said these stupid things, the Lion King said angrily.

"King, Weichen heard a lot of rumors outside that damaged the image of the king. Weichen was very angry, but he was unable to refute because they were justified and well-founded."

"Okay, what do you want to say?"

"King, I heard from you, you are a puppet of General Xiao. Those foreign media directly call General Xiao the Supreme Emperor of the Lion Kingdom. Looking at the lion kings in all dynasties, even when we were the weakest, we have never been so angry." The vice president spoke righteously, as if he was really upsetting the lion king.

The Lion King naturally understood what this guy wanted to do. He probably had a premonition that Xiao Potian was going to deal with him. He asked a villain to complain first and provoked the relationship between him and Xiao Potian.
