Rise of Empires: Spain

Chapter 61 The Joy of the King

Primo's actions were very quick.

Shortly after the military parade ended, the Spanish government announced a reform of government departments, cutting off some meaningless departments and merging departments with similar management scope.

After the government reform, the number of cabinet departments in Spain was also streamlined. The army and navy departments were integrated into the Ministry of Defense, and Archduke Serrano was promoted to Minister of Defense.

This is very necessary. Spain's navy was not strong to begin with, and there was no need to develop the navy in the short term (in fact, there was no money to develop the navy), so there was no need for the navy department to exist alone.

It seems that the army and navy departments were merged into the Ministry of Defense, but in fact, the importance of the navy department was weakened. Because the minister in charge of the Ministry of Defense is Army Marshal Serrano.

The interior department was divided into the public security department and the livelihood department, plus finance, industry, agriculture, medical care and education, as well as defense and diplomacy to form the new cabinet system in Spain.

The nine department ministers and Prime Minister Primo, a total of ten people, are the entire cabinet. After streamlining the number of cabinets, the administrative efficiency of the cabinet can also be accelerated.

Looking at these nine cabinet departments, the most important ones at present are the three departments of defense, finance and industry.

Finance and industry are related to the overall development of Spain, and defense is related to the territorial security of Spain. This also leads to the fact that the leaders of these three departments are all well-known figures in Spain.

Defense Minister Serrano is naturally needless to say. The Minister of Finance is concurrently held by Prime Minister Primo. Although the name of Industry Minister Manuel Ruiz Sorrilla is relatively unfamiliar, he is also a relatively prestigious figure in the political arena.

Ruiz was born in Burgo de Osma, graduated from the Law Department of the University of Madrid, and was deeply influenced by radicalism.

In terms of school of thought, Ruiz agrees to revolutionize Spain, which is why he can become the Minister of Industry.

Ruiz, who has participated in several revolutions, has naturally accumulated a lot of reputation, and has served as Minister of Religion and Minister of Justice.

Although there is still a big gap compared to Primo and Serrano, Ruiz is also the third person in Spanish politics and is still quite popular among the revolutionary factions.

The reform of the cabinet government was still going on very quickly. Most of the departments that were cut had no real power, so naturally they could not make any waves.

After the cut departments were merged into large departments, the power of the existing cabinet ministers would be increased, and the cabinet guys would naturally not object.

On July 11, 1870, the first meeting of the reformed Spanish cabinet government officially began.

Primo had a serious expression and announced the first five-year development plan of the Spanish government, and made certain requirements for the specific development of each department within five years.

Among them, the two departments of education and industry were highlighted.

Education is the foundation of the country. If Spain wants to achieve revival, it must do its best to develop education.

The industrial sector is the foundation of a country's strength. If Spain wants to become a great power again, it must have a certain scale of industrial strength.

Emphasis on education and industry means that other departments are destined not to get too much budget.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Except for the military expenditure of the Ministry of Defense, which will not be greatly reduced, the budgets of all other departments will be cut by at least 10%.

This part of the budget that was cut will be given priority to the education and industry sectors to deploy the education and industrial development of Spain.

At this time, the benefits of the cabinet departments appointed by the prime minister will be reflected, and other cabinet ministers will not have much objection. After all, they were promoted by Primo and can be replaced at any time.

After determining the tone of Spain's future development, the rest of the things became very boring.

Carlo suddenly found that the government's affairs seemed to have little to do with him, and the reforms basically did not affect him.

As the king of Spain, Carlo can only do something good in a day besides eating something good.

Well, thinking of this, Carlo looked at the two maids around him who were working hard for him. Well, it's pretty good.

Looking at Anna, who looks quite pure and cute, Carlo smiled, as if he was a bad uncle who coaxed a little girl: "Anna, do you want to eat Iberian ham?"

Anna's hands, which had been unable to hold back for a long time, pressed impatiently somewhere, took off Carlo's clothes very skillfully, and lowered her head.

Well, what a pleasant aristocratic life.

While treating Anna to Iberian ham, he looked at Alice, who was taller and more charming, and said with a smile: "Alice, I'm hungry."

Alice immediately understood, took two flawless white and round buns and handed them over, letting Carlo play with them, and finally ate them.

Not to mention, the two maids selected by Vittorio Emanuele II for Carlo each have their own characteristics. Anna is quirky and looks pure and lovely, but she often boldly seduces Carlo.

Alice is more reserved than Anna, but her proud figure invisibly increases her temptation, which is no worse than Anna.

The names of Anna and Alice both mean beautiful, and it seems that the level of naming is very good at present.

Whether it is now or in the future, the appearance of these two maids is definitely a great beauty picked out of a million.

If it weren't for Carlo's amazing self-control, I'm afraid he would have lost his virginity before the age of 18.

However, the original intention of these two maids was to enlighten Carlo, so when Carlo turned 18 and became an adult, he still enjoyed some unspeakable happiness.

Carlo was also glad that he traveled through the late 19th century, not the Middle Ages that people complained about.

At least the European nobles now still understand the importance of taking a bath, and the bodies of the two maids are also fragrant, without any smell that makes people change their color.

If he traveled through time to the Middle Ages, even if he was facing a few beautiful women, just because he didn't take a bath, it would be enough to keep people out.

Carlo originally thought that his sick body since childhood would not last long, but since he traveled through time, the physique of this body has been getting better and better.

Although it has not been carefully tested, Carlo is sure that this body is definitely better than before the travel. The well-defined muscles are clearly visible. Although they are not exaggerated large muscles, they also prove the health of this body.

More importantly, time. Even when facing two attractive maids, Anna and Alice, Carlo can fight several times without any backache.

This is also the most satisfying part of Carlo's journey to the present. After all, which man doesn't want to show his bravery in battle?
