In Bucharest, Eder watched the pre-war turmoil caused by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. He received the news as soon as the crown prince was assassinated, only 1o minutes later than the chief of the Austro-Hungarian General Staff. The situation is also the same as he had known in his previous life, with nations not giving in to each other and ultimately resorting to force to settle their disputes.

After receiving the news of the Austro-Hungarian declaration of war on Serbia, Eder immediately summoned the governor Edri, intending to stop Romanian grain exports this year and wait for this batch of grain to be sold at a "good price".

"Your Highness, you look for me."

As the head of the court, Viscount Adri, although his head is old and his head is white, he still combs his head meticulously, and he still looks graceful with a decent outfit. In the face of the crown prince's call, he still rushed over quickly.

Looking at the court director in front of him, Edel spoke to him. "Let the Grain Import and Export Association make adjustments to suspend this year's grain exports."

When Viscount Edri heard the Crown Prince's words, he looked at the Crown Prince in disbelief.

You must know that Romania now exports about 3oo tons of grain every year, and now is the time to sign bulk grain purchase contracts. In the absence of Romania, a major grain exporter, a sharp rise in European food prices is inevitable. Moreover, bulk grain exports are not only an economic account, but also a political account.

If Romania's grain exports are suspended, then the market share may be occupied by other countries, which will be a big blow to the newly established association. After all, the businessmen of the Grain Import and Export Association don't care if you are a royal family or not, and if you prevent them from making money, it will not end well. Viscount Edri inevitably hesitated.

Seeing the hesitation of the court director in front of him, it was impossible for Eder to tell him that the war in Europe would take four years, and he would not have to worry about whether the grain could be sold. He spoke of the palace governor's worries. "The situation in Europe is too tense right now, so let's wait and see before making a decision. If those merchants can't wait, you can buy them first on behalf of the royal family at previous prices. ”

Hearing the crown prince's explanation, Viscount Edri's heart was much more at ease. After all, he is not afraid of the grain export merchants on the surface, and the big land nobles standing behind the merchants are not something that a small viscount can afford. Now that he has the crown prince, he thinks the problem is much simpler.

"Okay, Your Highness, I will send a telegram to the association, suspend the export of grain, and believe that those merchants will feel the goodwill of the royal family."

After Viscount Edri's finish speaking to Eder, he was about to leave the crown prince's office, when Eder stopped him. "Viscount Edri, wait a minute."

The court steward turned around and asked. "Is there anything else with the crown prince?"

Edel asked in a whisper as he walked over to the court steward from his desk. "Has my father been in poor health lately?"

Recently, Eder has been keeping an eye on the aftermath of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, as well as the stockpiles of various supplies in Romania, and the imminent delivery of his wife Sophie Marie. Carol I and his wife, who were in the Peresh Palace, were much less concerned, but there was news that his father had recently deteriorated and had not been out for a few days. So Edel asked the court governor if he knew anything.

"Your Highness." Viscount Adri said as he thought about the wording of the organization. "His Majesty has been feeling unwell lately, but he is much better now. The main thing is His Majesty's own will, in order not to worry you too much. ”

Hearing the words of the palace governor did not dispel Eder's worries, after all, he was his father in this life. Moreover, Carol I is already an old man in his eighties, and in this era when the level of medical care is not comparable to that of the previous life, any small problem that appears in this old man may become a big problem. Eder plans to go to the Peresh Palace after this busy time, but he still has to see it himself to rest assured.

After seeing off Viscount Edri, Eder now has a lot to do. In addition to the export controls on grain, Eder is also concerned about what is now Romania's strategic reserves. Now a large amount of raw materials imported from Romania are stored near Constanta, and the local warehouses are full, and now they are transported to various places by rail lines, but fortunately, there are government departments doing this, otherwise he would not be able to take care of them at all.

At present, the domestic finance is just enough, and there is no money to implement many things. For example, the medical and education department's request for funding for new schools and hospitals is not being met, and the transportation department's request for the renovation of old railways and the replacement of old locomotives can only be done in important areas. The army has also been trying to change the reserves that are now backward, but it is also not satisfied. When he inspected the reserves, he also saw militiamen training with Manlisha 1871 rifles. These can be summed up in one sentence, and they are all troubled by lack of money.

On the whole, the Romanian exhibition is good, but just like my own home country in my previous life, there are still many places that need to be improved, and these require a lot of money to do it. It's just that Romania's finances are more than 2ooo pounds a year, which is extremely dazzling among the small countries in the Balkans, but it is completely insufficient compared with the major powers. Italy, which now has the lowest income, is more than 5 times that of Romania.

Edel buried himself in the office to deal with domestic affairs. In the evening, he looked up at the crimson sunset in the sky and the lights in the palace, and put down his work to accompany his wife. Now Sophie Marie's body is getting heavier and heavier, and it is not too good to have no one around her. The parents spent their holidays in the Pereš Palace, where they were the only ones in the family. Although there are noble ladies who come to the palace to relieve their wives these days, they still need their husbands the most.

Edel walked out of the office and asked the guards beside him. "Where is the crown princess?"

"The Crown Princess is in the Rose Hall, and the Countess of Perwick is accompanying her."

Edel heard the guard's words and walked towards the Rose Hall.

The Rose Hall is famous for his mother's penchant for placing a large number of books, and in the days before that, his mother had gathered many literary people here to hold literary salons, and if anyone in Romania had not been invited to the Rose Hall, he would not be considered a famous writer in the country. And his wife Sophie Marie also likes the bookish atmosphere here, but she likes to gather ladies and celebrities to talk together.

When Eder walked into the Rose Room, she saw his wife, Sophie Marie, talking to a noblewoman in her thirties with her hands on her abdomen, and she said happily when she saw Eder walk in. "Eder, are you busy today?"

"It's done, I'll come over and take a look when I heard you're here."

Edel walked over to her and leaned down and whispered. At this time, the lady of Perwick was very discerning, and spoke to the crown prince and his wife. "Your Highness, I still have to leave beforehand."

After receiving the Crown Prince's wife's offer, the lady left the Rose Room with small steps.

Seeing that there was no one around, Edel spoke to Sophie Marie. "Have you had a good time lately, my princess."

Sophie Marie tilted her head and pretended to think playfully. "You weren't bad before you came."

Edel said, feigning annoyance. "Am I not as good as these people who talk to you?"

Sophie Marie looked at Eder's expression and smiled coquettishly, watching his wife laugh happily, and Edel leaned on his wife's lap and listened carefully to her abdomen. "Has our little cutie been moving a lot lately?"

"You kicked me in the stomach a few times today, and I'll be just as naughty as you in the future."

Edel listened to his wife's words and felt filled inside. has his own country, and a happy family, and now a little life that is about to be born, he has left his footprints in this world.
