Power and Empire Chapter 1298: The Sword of Empire (1)

"The cost for the transformation of 100 Longya ships was 10 million. The navy built four large military ports on the eastern coast of Normandy for 2 million. The construction cost of 4 Dragon-class warships was 1 million. The military expenditure for a hundred thousand troops was estimated to be 1,000. 5 million, of which the mobilization of food and materials cannot be calculated, the cost of the northern border defense army is 10 million, the resettlement cost of all ethnic groups in the east court southward is 2 million, and the roads of the southern city group of Vijaya are rebuilt...the towns of southern Swadian are restored and built 300 Ten thousand...Dorok food famine relief 3 million...Weapon research funding 1 million..."

"Asshole!" With a stern cry, a transparent feather pen inlaid with blue sè agate was thrown heavily on the table..

The fat man in his office is like a rooster that has been defeated in a fight, with his head drooping, and his mouth lamenting like any other famous monarch,

"The country is too poor, and the money is not enough. He sells his own meat at a low price, and it cannot match the high rate of treasury funds consumption (Of course, the fat man always thinks this way! Even though he is fat in the eyes of other countries There is no edge!), the financial statements of the empire last quarter were very pale lying on the table in front of him,

The shocking expenditures marked with red bars above, completely ignored the fat man’s eyes of krypton gold dogs who were blinded by flashing blindness. The total number of figures filled with reporting gaps, there were so many names that they could not enter the eye, even It gave the fat an illusion that these guys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the most terrifying enemies of the empire. They should be resolute, thorough, and leave no traces to get rid of these guys who do nothing but settle accounts for themselves

In just one winter, the fat man was sad to find that he had spent three-quarters of the imperial treasury without knowing it..

The quarterly income report just sent has reduced all the meat on the fat man. All the tax and trade income combined is only 45 million. The expenses are even the fat man himself. 57 million of the tongue. That is to say, even if the fat man was blackmailed from the Normans to fill in 5 million, the empire still lost about 5 million...

The pace of the financial crisis has clearly touched the bottom line of the empire. Although this is not the first financial crisis for the empire, the treasury of the empire was empty once in the continuous war of unification last year. The last two million gold coins as the base made the fat man think of it now and feel that The tooth clapper hurts like a fire. Poor get angry! At that time, the fat man didn’t dare to do anything. He hid in the northern mountainous area of ​​Dolo Mountain and hunted for half a month.

Although, as a high-commerce superman in this era, Fatty has nothing to do with the current status quo. Although the domestic market is prosperous, there is a limit to consumption power. The southern part of Vicia, the first to open, has become saturated, and the population of the three northern counties Dense. However, Swadian, who has experienced tragic wars, is obviously unable to quickly regain the national power of the previous mainland hegemony.

Not to mention Ruud in the south and Dorok in the east, they are poor and scumbags. One is for military reasons. In the age of Agrork, it was already squeezed and dried quickly, and the other was just going through the food shortage and didn't let himself go in. It was pretty good. It is impossible to recover these two areas without astronomical investment

Now the most potential area for commerce and trade is the densely populated northern part of Salander. A large number of nobles who migrated from the inland have also brought a huge flow of funds. The central area affected by the war is relatively weak. When it comes to the poorly populated southern part, there is basically no consumption power.

The number of 45 million flashed through Fatty’s distressed and mad mind again. He angrily picked up the report on the table again, and then put it down again,

The population of the empire is only about 30 million. It is already very good to be able to reach this number. Unless you increase new taxes yourself, this number should be the limit that the empire can currently reach. "Since there is no way to reduce expenditure, there is only income!" The fat man gritted his teeth helplessly, and turned directly to the end of the report, and he saw his intimate little padded jacket, Mao Manaqing, who is in charge of house affairs, with a delicate and pleasant look. Write carefully and carefully list each item in the report with expenditures of more than 1 million gold coins.

Fatty turned to this page, not focusing on expenses, but another important piece of information. Because the financial report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is top secret of the empire, in order to avoid omissions, it must be reviewed by two or more princesses. I will report to the fat man later,

This is where the fat man pays attention,

If you want to know who your wives’ allies are, just look at their joint signatures.

In this regard, even Mao Manaqing, who is known for his ice and snow intelligence, cannot completely conceal the past. This is an important indicator for the fat man to understand the internal trends of the empire.

The fat man saw a very neat and elegant signature next to Mao Manaqing’s signature, Haroldian,

Interesting, this is the second joint signing! "Fatty's small eyes flickered, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. He looked at his two wives’ fonts that were ten times more beautiful than himself for half a minute. It seemed that he was a guy who was completely letting go of his housework. Sweep the depression just now

"It is so obvious that this princess Swadian finally decided to get rid of her original concerns? Interesting, even if she was once an enemy, she will unite because of interests. This is probably a general trend. Transformation of fusion!"

The signature of the former Swadian princess naturally carries the domineering style of the Swadian royal family that has frightened the mainland for hundreds of years. It is a handwritten character written with beautiful elements who have practiced swordsmanship.

The font is neat and elegant, as if the fat man remembered those beautiful gray-blue eyes like shining stars. That kind of beauty is a sad beauty. A regretful beauty, a beauty that makes the hearts of others feel slowly trembling.

Obviously, the integration trend within the empire is developing in the direction that I need. From the attitude of my wives, I can see that all my previous arrangements are correct.

Let the unambitious Princess Ager Helene ~IndoMTL.com~ as the name commander of the newly formed Second Southern Army, and let the kind-hearted Nile form the Northern Alliance. Become the de facto power in northern Salander,

This series of layouts completely broke the original situation of dominance in the north of the harem.

Even northern factions like Mao Manaqing need to find new allies to consolidate their position. The original national brand on the wives is being replaced by the regional brand.

The harem of north and south checks and balances, you should be able to rest assured!

The fat man touched his chin, some gods stood up from his seat dignifiedly and came to the window, looking deep into the beautiful wilderness outside the window,

The sky is full of red clouds outside the window. This is a coast outside the Moon’s Military Port. The azure sea is shining with the light of red. The tributaries of the inland river pass through the fluffy southern land, the winter woods, Thin and slender, with a mountain range covered with snow in the distance, with majestic lines surrounding the horizon

This is the seventh rì! The rìzi of the Southern Army landing! At the other end of the earth, the edge of the empire is rising from the horizon like a glow (to be continued.)
