Rise of Empires: Spain.

Chapter 61 The Joy of the King
Primo's actions were swift.

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

After the government reform, the number of Spanish cabinet departments 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 separately.

It seems that the Army and Navy departments were merged into the Ministry of National Defense, but in fact, the importance of the Navy department was weakened because the Minister in charge of the Ministry of National Defense was Army Marshal Serrano.

The interior department is split into the public security department and the civil affairs department, together with finance, industry, agriculture, health and education, as well as defense and foreign affairs, which together make up Spain's new cabinet system.

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

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

Finance and industry are related to the overall development of Spain, while national 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.

There is no need to say much about Defense Minister Serrano. Prime Minister Primo is also the Finance Minister, and although the name of Industry Minister Manuel Ruiz Zorrilla is relatively unfamiliar, he is also a relatively prestigious figure in the political arena.

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

In terms of school of thought, Ruiz was in favor of revolution in Spain, which is why he was able to become Minister of Industry.

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

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

The cabinet government's reforms were carried out 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 are merged into larger departments, the power of the existing cabinet ministers will be increased, and the cabinet guys will naturally not object.

On July 1870, 7, the first meeting of the reformed Spanish cabinet government officially began.

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

The two sectors that are highlighted are education and industry.

Education is the foundation of a country. If Spain wants to achieve revival, it must devote all its efforts to the development of 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.

The emphasis on education and industry means that other departments are destined not to receive much budget.

This is indeed the case. Except for the Ministry of Defense, which will not see a significant reduction in military spending, the budgets of all other departments will be cut by at least 10%.

This part of the budget cuts will be given priority to the education and industrial sectors to deploy Spain's education and industrial development.

At this time, the benefits of the cabinet departments appointed by the prime minister are reflected, and the other cabinet ministers will not have too many objections. After all, they were all promoted by Primo and can be replaced at any time. After determining the tone of Spain's future development, the rest of the things become boring.

Carlo suddenly realized that government affairs seemed to have little to do with him, and the reforms basically had no impact on him.

As the King of Spain, it seems that the only thing Carlo can do in a day is to have some good fun besides eating good food.

Well, thinking of this, Carlo looked at the two maids who were serving him diligently, well, it was pretty good.

Looking at Anna, who looked quite innocent and lovely, Carlo smiled, as if he was a bad uncle coaxing 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 on a certain place impatiently, and she took off Carlo's clothes very skillfully, and lowered her head.

Well, what a pleasant aristocratic life.

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

Alice immediately understood and took two flawless, round buns and handed them over, letting Carlo play with them, and finally Carlo put them into his mouth.

Not to mention, the two maids chosen by Vittorio Emanuele II for Carlo each had their own characteristics. Anna was quirky and had a pure and lovely appearance, but she often boldly seduced Carlo.

Alice is a little more reserved than Anna, but her proud figure increases her temptation invisibly, which is no less attractive than Anna.

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

The looks of these two maids, whether now or in the future, are definitely one in a million beauties.

If it weren't for Carlo's amazing self-control, he would have lost his virginity before he was 18.

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

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

At least today's European nobles still understand the importance of taking a bath, and the bodies of the two maids are fragrant, without any smell that would make people shudder.

If you travel back to the Middle Ages, even if you are faced with a few beautiful women, the fact that they don't take a bath is enough to keep you out.

Carlo originally thought that his sickly body since childhood would not last long, but since he came here through time and space, the physical condition of this body has been getting better and better.

Although he had not undergone a thorough test, Carlo was sure that this body was definitely better than before the time travel. The well-defined muscles were clearly visible. Although they were not exaggeratedly large muscles, they also proved that this body was healthy.

What was more important was time. Even when facing two attractive maids, Anna and Alice, Carlo could fight them several times without any backache.

This is also the place where Carlo is most satisfied after traveling through time. After all, which man doesn't want to show his bravery in battle?
