When he succeeded to the throne, the empire's treasury only had 800 billion raw crystals left.
In order to collect the raw crystals that need to be paid for this tribute.
Ji Weiyang made great efforts.
Finally, before the tribute came, 1.6 trillion raw crystals were collected.
According to estimates, the amount of tribute paid each time is about 1.5 trillion.
One hundred and sixty billion is not enough.
But this appearance of Prince Montenegro was something she never expected.
There were nearly 400 billion more in an instant.
It was impossible for her to get it out in a short time.
"Messenger Oros, can you apply for a period of grace? Originally, I prepared 1.6 trillion raw crystals, but this suddenly turned into nearly two trillion raw crystals. I don't have that many for the time being." Ji Weiyang gritted her teeth and said.
"Okay, empress, I will give you ten days to collect the original crystal." After Oros said that, he left the imperial palace.
Ten days!
Everyone trembled.
Collect 400 billion raw crystals in ten days.
This is simply impossible.
Even the empress, who is known as an expert in earning raw crystals, cannot do it.
Ji Weiyang's ability to earn raw crystals is obvious to all.
None of the previous central emperors was able to earn raw crystals as fast as Ji Weiyang.
But even so.
She can't create something out of nothing.
At this time, Prince Montenegro laughed.
He had known for a long time that the empress had prepared enough raw crystals.
Therefore, he deliberately increased the number of tribute crystals to three trillion.
In this way, the Central Empire's tribute of raw crystals will also increase accordingly.
It looks like he's acting stupidly.
It's like killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to yourself.
But actually, it's not like that.
The amount of tribute represents the amount of reinforcements that can be applied to the Auburn Super Empire.
Once a war breaks out between empires.
When the problem cannot be solved by your own strength, you need to ask for support from the Auburn Super Empire.
The number of reinforcements that can be applied for is closely related to the number of raw crystals submitted as tribute.
So, it's not just the major empires of the galaxy.
Those hundreds of empires all took the initiative to pay tribute to the Auburn super empire.
Just to get the military support of Auburn Super Empire.
In the vast universe.
The disappearance of a civilization, the destruction of a planet, the fall of an empire is simply normal.
If you want to exist for a long time, you must obtain adequate protection.
The Black Mountain Empire contributed three trillion raw crystals.
This amount is already close to the amount of raw crystals donated by the first empire in the galaxy.
Even if its own strength is not as good as the first and second empires.
Is there such a magnitude of tribute?
Neither the First nor the Second Empire had any idea about the Montenegrin Empire.
Because, even if they could capture the Black Mountain Empire, they would definitely suffer a big loss from the Auburn Super Empire’s army.
The gain outweighs the loss.
In addition to getting more protection.
You can also increase the amount of raw crystals that other empires pay tribute to.
In fact, the number of raw crystals proposed by the Auburn Super Empire does not necessarily have to be turned over.
That's a safe number calculated by Auburn Super Empire.
After paying tribute to so many original crystals, the balance of the ten empires can be maintained.
After all, once the balance is broken, some empires that can get more support will inevitably have other ideas.
The key is.
As a result, the Empress' original crystal will not be enough.
The fastest way for the empress to obtain the original crystal within ten days is to borrow money from the Black Mountain Empire!
That's right.
Original crystal is the universal currency in the entire universe.
No matter how good the relationship between empires is, it cannot be given away in vain.
Of course, there is another possibility.
That is, the Central Empress married the Prince of Montenegro.
In this way, it is natural for the Black Mountain Empire to assist the Central Empire with Yuan Jing.
This is the real reason why the Prince of Montenegro raised his head to pay tribute.
Moreover, he deliberately said it in front of the empress that the Black Mountain Empire controlled a wild planet.
The reason is to let the empress know that he has the original crystal.
"Qi Damu made a mistake in the Central Empire. There is nothing wrong with the Central Empire's execution of him. Let's leave it at that!" After the Prince of Montenegro finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Wait, wait a minute!" Ji Weiyang's voice sounded from behind.
The Prince of Montenegro stopped and raised the corners of his mouth.
He said in his heart: "Ji Weiyang, Ji Weiyang, aren't you crazy? In the end, it fell into my hands!"
"Your Highness, can I borrow a sum of raw crystal from the Black Mountain Empire?" Ji Weiyang said in a deep voice.
Obviously, this is the only way.
In fact, you can also borrow money from the Auburn Super Empire.
However, Auburn Super Empire will only grant a one-time loan.
And the former emperor of the Central Empire.
Already used it.
It hasn't been paid off yet.
To save enough raw crystals for the next tribute, you have to pay back the raw crystals you owed in the past.
Ji Weiyang's pressure is indeed great.
Therefore, she had many times wanted to go back to Blue Star to see her junior brother and her master.
But she couldn't pull away at all.
Unexpectedly, despite working so hard, I still couldn't collect enough raw crystals in the end.
Unless absolutely necessary.
Ji Weiyang really didn't want to speak to the Crown Prince of the Black Mountain Empire.
"Of course!" Prince Montenegro turned around and said with a smile.
"Really?" Ji Weiyang didn't expect that the Crown Prince of Montenegro would agree so simply.
"Empress Weiyang, you know, I have always liked you. If you are willing to marry me, let alone this time, I can help you with the next ten tributes!" With these words, Montenegro
The prince has said it many times.
But this is the first time that it has been said on such a solemn occasion.
In addition, the original crystal will be paid tribute in ten days.
The effect is definitely different from before.
A look of ridicule appeared on Ji Weiyang's face.
Knew it……
The ministers in the court also began to discuss.
"Actually, it's not a bad thing for the empress to marry the Crown Prince of Montenegro. The two empires will definitely form an even bigger empire if they join forces."
"Yes, this is definitely a win-win situation. After the two empires merge and a new empire is born, the amount of tribute paid by the two empires will be reduced."
"You can't say that. If the empress really marries the Prince of Montenegro, then will the Central Empire still be the Central Empire..."
"..."
The ministers had a heated discussion.
The pressure immediately fell on Ji Weiyang.
On one side is her own happiness.
On one side are all the people of the Central Empire.
Once a war breaks out between empires.
Hundreds of millions of living beings will suffer disaster.
This is an unbearable weight.
Since she is the head of the empire.
They should be protected.
"Empress, you don't have to answer me in a hurry, there are still ten days anyway, you can think about it slowly!" After finishing speaking, the Crown Prince of Montenegro left with a smile.
"Sure enough, a king is not worthy of love..." Ji Weiyang closed her eyes in pain.
