The training of the old prince is still very effective. The little princess already seems to have the aura of a superior. Moreover, the bosses seem to have basically accepted the little princess. This is very important for the little princess to take over the throne in the near future.
.
The war in the Western Region has been going on for such a long time, and players can say that they have fought for a very long time for the court. The court is very short of money, but since the battle for the right to inherit the throne has ended, several princes have been wiped out one after another, and the people on the grassland have worked together to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, which is still somewhat effective.
, plus the business that Zeng Yi won, also brought a sum of money to the court. With this money, the court finally trained more than 300,000 new soldiers after much stumbling.
However, this is actually a large gap from the 500,000 new recruits originally planned by the imperial court, and this is only the military expenditure needed for training. If the war begins and the imperial court faces the four-nation coalition alone, the military expenditures required will be much higher.
It's always a problem.
Zeng Yi had known for a long time that the imperial court was short of money, but Zeng Yi didn't take it too seriously before. He didn't need to worry about such things. If the sky fell, there would be someone taller to hold it up. But since the little princess got involved in political affairs,
Zeng Yi felt firsthand the seriousness of the court's lack of money.
The little princess's mansion. In the past, when Zeng Yi came back, the little princess would stay with him for a while. But when he came back this time, Zeng Yi found that the little princess was so busy that she had no time. After reporting to the court about the Western Regions, Zeng Yi planned to return to the Western Regions.
, before leaving, I went to the princess's mansion again.
As soon as she entered the princess's mansion, she met the maid serving the little princess, "See you, Mr. Ni!"
"Get back on your feet. Is Her Royal Highness still in the study?"
"Yes, sir." After saying that, the maid looked at Zeng Yi and hesitated. Zeng Yi looked confused: "Is there anything else?"
"Sir, Your Highness has trusted you. Please advise the princess. The princess has been looking sad every day these days and has no appetite for food."
"You go down." Zeng Yi knew what the little princess was worried about. Not only her, but also the old prince was worried every day. The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was almost going crazy. They were all driven by money.
Pushing open the door and walking into the study, the little princess was a top-notch master. She knew it was Zeng Yi before he opened the door. "You're here, are you leaving again?"
"Well, you haven't had any rest these days, okay? You look too bad. Don't be too tired. We still have everything."
"It's okay, I'm not tired."
The two were silent for a while, and then Zeng Yi said, "Are you still worried about money?"
The little princess didn't speak, just nodded.
"Is the gap so big? Haven't provinces been ordered to hand over their tax burdens?"
"It's simply not enough." In order to make money, the imperial court has thought of many ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Even the old prince took out the money from the royal family's treasury, which was only enough to train new recruits. If the war started, the imperial court would even
Can't get food and salary.
"Don't worry, there is still enough time. As long as I am here in the Western Regions, the Four Kingdoms will definitely not be able to break through in the near future. With so many important ministers in the court and a wise man like the old prince, we will eventually be able to figure out a way."
The little princess smiled reluctantly, "I'm fine, you should take care of yourself too."
The lack of money in the imperial court was really serious, so serious that even the Duan family in Dali donated a large sum of money to tide over the difficulties. For the sake of money, the rulers of the empire, such as the old prince, were determined to catch corrupt officials and confiscate their property, but
Everyone knows that there are no honest officials, but they are in the minority after all. Most officials have problems to some extent. When the war is about to start and the throne is about to be changed, the imperial court really cannot withstand the torment.
After leaving the capital, Zeng Yi returned to the Western Regions. The first thing he did when he returned to the Western Regions was to meet with the three bosses and talk to them about the current situation in the court.
"So, the court's biggest difficulty is money? I didn't expect that the Central Plains court would be so short of money!" the boss said with a frown.
"Second brother, what do you mean?" Fourth child looked at Zeng Yi and said.
Zeng Yi looked at the three of them and said, "You should remember that we actually know a lot of money."
"You mean the silver coin on the mountain?"
"Yes!" When Zeng Yi and the others were searching for the God of War Illustrated Book, they discovered a large amount of funds prepared by the previous dynasty for the restoration of the country. The amount of money involved alone amounted to several million. It was just that at that time
The environment of Gonggeer Mountain is harsh, the treasure is hidden, and there are many institutions. They filled their backpacks with jealousy. The four of them did not take away any gold and silver treasures at all. If such a large sum of money were to be found now, it would be a huge disaster.
Ease the court's troubles.
The three bosses fell silent for a moment, and Zeng Yi said: "I can only say that I am very hesitant. Although we can't get such a large amount of money now, we will get it one day in the future. If we get it, we can
Really made a fortune."
After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "But the current situation of the imperial court is really difficult. Even the old prince is worried about getting money every day. If the imperial court is in this state and faces the four countries, it will be short of military pay and unable to pay it. Even in the end,
After victory, the army will also be hostile to the court. In the end, I am afraid there will be many more warlords who will listen to the instructions but not the propaganda! If that is the case, our early investment will have to be greatly discounted. If for various reasons, the little princess ends up
If I fail to inherit the throne, all the previous investment will basically be in vain. So now I am very hesitant to take the initiative to use this money."
The four of them were silent for a while, and then the fourth child said: "Then we have to think about it carefully. The current situation is that we know a large sum of money, but we can't get it for the time being, and to be honest, such a large sum of money
If we want to get it back from Gonggeer Mountain, we must at least have the strength of a super master, and it will only be possible at a very late stage. But once we get it back, with a few million taels of silver, we will definitely make a fortune."
Zeng Yi and others nodded, and the fourth child continued: "But without this money, the imperial court may not be able to survive the difficulties. If the imperial court cannot survive the difficulties and the world is in chaos, we will be completely independent players in the future. With our ability
Regarding reputation, if the world is in chaos and the imperial court loses power, apart from seeking refuge in Fengyun Tianxia or Tianxiang Guild and relying on others, we can only live and die with those millions of silver. All the previous investment will basically be in vain.
To sort out the pros and cons, there are only two paths before us. Either keep it hidden and wait for us to take it ourselves in the future, or hand it over to the court now to help the court tide over the difficulties and make great achievements!" (To be continued)
