Chapter 404: On merit and deeds monthly ticket]
The Heavenly Fighting Empire!
After recapturing the five major provinces, the empire's territory doubled, with a population of billions and countless wealth, and its national strength became unprecedentedly strong.
As the master of this great empire, he is known as the existence of Emperor Xuan, and is now lying in the treasury, very ungraceful... counting money.
"One million, two million, five million, ten million, fifty million, one hundred million, three hundred million...one hundred million!"
Fang Xuan's eyes were shiny, looking at the piles of golden soul coins, he was extremely happy. He used his mental power to count money quickly, and it took an entire hour to count all the reserves in the national treasury.
A whole billion golden soul coins!
Fang Xuan was a little excited. It was the first time he had seen so much money. At this moment, he finally deeply realized the benefits of being an emperor, and he could not spend all the money.
However, with so much money, how to spend and what to buy is a question worth thinking about.
"Cultivate soul masters? Buy soul bones? Plant elixirs in large quantities? Or build a few palaces and live the addiction to being a fool, which is comfortable..."
Fang Xuan sat cross-legged among a pile of golden soul coins, touched his chin, and began to think quietly.
"Report to Your Majesty!"
At this time, the Minister of Finance walked into the treasury and came to Fang Xuan with a serious look on his face and said firmly: "The money in the treasury cannot be moved at all!"
"What? What are you saying, old boy, do you dare to talk to me like this? Do you deserve a beating?"
Fang Xuan was slightly stunned, and immediately became furious and shouted at the Finance Minister: "I am the Emperor of Heaven Fighting. The treasury belongs to mine and the money belongs to mine. Why can't I move?!"
The Finance Minister calmly defended himself: "These money is already useful, please let me calculate it carefully for Your Majesty!"
"This year, Aslan area was hit by disasters, with countless casualties and injuries. 300 million golden soul coins need to be allocated to rescue the disaster."
"All places need to allocate 200 million gold soul coins to reinforce cities, build bridges, pave roads, etc.."
"The salaries of officials from all walks of life and the military pay of the army need to allocate 300 million gold soul coins."
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful? He led his troops to wipe out the four kingdoms? But no less than 50,000 soldiers were killed or injured, and countless houses and cities were destroyed? He needed 500 million gold soul coins to pay for the families of the fallen soldiers? He also built a city."
Three hundred million, two hundred million? Three hundred million, five hundred million... Total is 1.3 billion!
But the national treasury reserves seem to be only one billion!
Listening to the Minister of Finance displaying terms? Fang Xuan turned his fingers to calculate it one by one. At the end, he was a little confused and looked at the Minister of Finance with confusion: "You are not doing the right thing? Why does it seem that the income is far lower than the expenditure?"
The Minister of Finance nodded heavily? He said: "That's right! The current imperial fiscal deficit and the treasury has fallen huge deficits, and it has not been filled yet."
Fang Xuan: “…”
Mad, who was the bastard who told me that I would have endless money to use as an emperor? You can do it, but I won’t beat you to death.
But then again? Fang Xuan really has endless money to spend now.
But I also have endless debts to pay back!
@*&!
So that's true. The richer the person? The more money he owe, the greater the money he owes. This is what is called pain and happiness!
Fang Xuan felt depressed? After talking with the Finance Minister for a long time, he felt like a basin of cold water was poured down? He was in a very bad mood.
"So? Who paid for those insufficient money?" he suddenly asked again.
The Minister of Finance didn't say anything? Just stared at Fang Xuan quietly.
"You won't ask me to pay back the money, right?" Fang Xuan's mouth twitched violently.
"Your Majesty, you are the lord of the empire!" said the Minister of Finance solemnly.
"So what you mean is, don't I pay back anyone?" Fang Xuan rolled his eyes.
"That's right!" said the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Putting the billion-dollar golden soul coins in front of me, I can’t spend a penny, and I have to find another way to pay back 300 million to make up for the deficit of the national treasury. Who can I justify this?!
Damn, I’m quite a fool!
Fang Xuan was angry and said angrily: "Damn it, you have to find a way to pay back the money as an emperor. I don't do it anymore, I don't do it anymore!"
When the Finance Minister saw His Majesty the Emperor, he quickly comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. Under your wise leadership, the empire's territory has doubled and the population has increased, and the tax revenue will naturally surge. I have made a general estimate. It is estimated that in two or three years, the empire will be able to pay off the debts in various places. In two or three years, Your Majesty will be the richest person in Douluo Continent!"
"Douluo Continent...the richest person!"
Fang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he felt like he had discovered new hope. No matter how much he complained, some things were really done. Those soldiers who followed him to fight and died unfortunately needed money to provide compensation, and those broken cities and buildings that had been broken after the war needed to be repaired.
There are also refugees who have left their hometowns because of the war in recent months, need care and supplies.
All these things require money!
"Duke Arnos, how to do the insufficient money? Is there any way to do it?!" Fang Xuan looked at the respected Chancellor of the Finance Minister and asked the latter how to solve the imperial financial crisis.
"Of course, for the sake of the present, we only have one solution, that is..."
The Minister of Finance glanced at Fang Xuan deeply and said solemnly: "Borrow!"
"borrow……"
Fang Xuan's mouth twitched violently. It turned out that he still needed to borrow money to become an emperor!
...
The empire's fiscal deficit was ineffective, so Fang Xuan could only give up a shameless face. He first borrowed a sum from the Seven Treasures Glazed Lith Sect, then borrowed a sum from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect, then borrowed a sum from Ilya in the Kingdom of Barak, and finally emptied all the treasurys of the four kingdoms, and finally barely made up for the national treasury deficit.
Although he survived the financial crisis of the empire, Fang Xuan was not happy at all and had been depressed. As the supreme emperor of the empire, he had inexplicably carried a lot of debts. Who would he ask for?
At this moment, he missed Qian Renxue from the bottom of his heart. If he had this shrewd and capable virtuous support, he would not have to worry about such small things at all. The goddess probably would have solved such small things by touching her little finger.
well……
Fang Xuan missed the days when he was a hand-off manager very much.
After solving the economic problems of the empire and making stability in the court, Fang Xuan felt that he should reward the soldiers who had achieved meritorious results this time.
Ning Fengzhi made suggestions for the army, made outstanding contributions, was awarded the title of first class, was named the national teacher, and presided over the government affairs!
Yutian Hengda defeated the Persian Kingdom, won the entire army, and was awarded the title of first class. He was appointed as the general and led the army!
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Yu Feng, Shimo and others all rewarded the duke's titles and served in the Tiandou Empire. The other meritorious soldiers were rewarded one by one.
The Tiandou Empire held a huge celebration banquet to celebrate the recovery of the four major provinces and this great victory, and the whole country was shrouded in joy.
