Roman Empire of Total War

Some people do not belong to themselves, but they are also precious when they meet.

——Aoyama Gangchang (Japanese cartoonist, the pinnacle of "Detective Conan")

The conversation between Bai Feng and the Duke of Kleist did not last long. With the arrival of the ministers and the beginning of the deliberations, the sensitive topic about the domain of chaos is no longer suitable for continued discussion; because the last branch of the empire The local rebels have been completely annihilated, so the content of today's North Korean deliberations has temporarily become the restoration and reconstruction of the northwest region by the central government.

When it comes to reconstruction, money must be spent, even if the empire’s current financial situation can already be described by affluence. Duke Salah, the Chancellor of the Treasury, still spoke straight back after saying that the Duke of Marcus, the Minister of the Interior, had no money.

Marcus, who was once the old boss of Salah, when his request was rejected by his old subordinate, he asked in a slightly unpleasant tone: "Duke Salah, the White Horse Kingdom’s compensation of one billion gold coins for the empire is not counted, only It was they who handed over the first redemption money to your Ministry of Finance within a few days, which amounted to 850 million gold coins. Has that money been used up by your Ministry of Finance?"

Faced with Marcus's doubts, Salah explained aloud: "Lord Marcus, the White Horse Kingdom paid one billion war reparations to the empire, and two-thirds of it was spent on the reconstruction of eleven western provinces and three southwestern provinces. The remaining one-third was spent on the frontline soldiers’ pensions, and to regain the newly established garrison and city defense troops of the province, our Ministry of Finance did not even keep a gold coin.”

"As for the first redemption payment they delivered half a month ago, the 850 million gold coins are indeed still in the treasury of our Ministry of Finance, but the 500 million gold coins in them have been designated as the reserve of the imperial treasury by His Majesty. , Cannot be easily used."

"Even if there are 500 million gold coins that can't be easily used as treasury reserves, then there are 350 million gold coins that your Ministry of Finance can use? Isn't Marcus reiterating his request again: "And I need now It’s only 200 million gold coins, accounting for less than 60% of the funds available to you from the Ministry of Finance. You have the ability to allocate this money to our Ministry of the Interior."

"Your Excellency Marcus, in addition to the large amount of funds your Ministry of the Interior needs to rebuild the four northwestern provinces, other ministries also need funds to rebuild their administrative agencies at all levels in the four northwestern provinces. The rule there, even those registered religious organizations in the empire, are also applying for missionary subsidies from the empire."

Whether it is the demand for funds from other departments of the Empire Central, or the capital injection of the Empire in the White Horse District, Marcus, as the Minister of the Interior, can not say much. Only the missionary subsidies applied by religious organizations in the Empire are eligible to submit Dissenting.

Using some preferential policies to attract religious organizations in the empire to actively register with the empire official, this is an order issued by the emperor Bai Feng personally, and has little to do with the Ministry of Finance, so Marcus did not struggle with Salahedo, but went directly to Before making a suggestion to Bai Feng: "Your Majesty, most of these religious organizations are ambitious. You can't invest the empire's precious funds on them!"

"Marcus, of course I know how ambitious these religious organizations are." Bai Feng, in a good mood, said with a smile: "I agreed to give them missionary subsidies that are not so easy to get, no matter which religious organization wants to get the empire. With subsidies, they must hand over their elite warriors to the empire and exchange the powerful fighters they have cultivated over the years for the empire's gold coins."

Hearing how clever Marcuse was in this plan, he had no choice but to give up his idea of ​​persuading Bai Feng to withdraw his missionary grants to religious organizations. However, he was not reconciled to his request and ended up with nothing. Looking towards Bai Feng.

"Your Majesty, the four northwestern provinces of the empire were devastated because of the madness before the rebellion of William. The minister’s Ministry of the Interior must have more than the general reinstatement to complete the restoration and reconstruction of the four northwestern provinces. Only capital investment is required."

"So, you need 200 million gold coins, don't you?" Bai Feng asked with a smile.

"This..." Marcus, who couldn't figure out Bai Feng's thoughts, still compromised while insisting: "Your Majesty, the 200 million gold coins are already the minimum funding requirements for the reconstruction of the four northwestern provinces calculated by the Minister of the Interior; If the Empire’s finances are really tight, these two hundred million gold coins can be allocated to our Ministry of the Interior in two to three fiscal years, and the reconstruction of our Ministry of the Interior will take time."

The answer to Marcus Bai Feng just smiled and did not speak. He turned his head and asked the Duke of Kleist: "Kleist, the good news from the Thunder Legion did not say that they seized a lot in Calais. The loot? What is the total value of this batch of loot?"

The Duke of Kleist stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, the rebellious William distributed the fat cream he had hunted down in the four northwestern provinces to his guards before his death. Fortunately, the Thunder Corps and Storm Corps arrived in time. , His guard troops were annihilated by the two major legions, and the total amount of 500 million or 600 million gold coins being distributed has also become the spoils of the Thunder Legion and the Storm Legion."

After nodding with satisfaction, Bai Feng asked Marcus again: "Marcus, if I put all these trophies to your Ministry of the Interior for the restoration and reconstruction of the four northwestern provinces, you are confident that in the shortest possible time Are the four northwestern provinces restored to their original condition?"

"Please rest assured that Your Majesty will do everything in his power to reconstruct the four northwestern provinces into the most prosperous frontier of the empire in the shortest time!"

"I believe you will not let me down." The system general Marcus, Bai Feng's trust in him, needless to say.

I watched these trophies with a total value of 500 million to 600 million gold coins being placed in the Ministry of the Interior, which is definitely a big stimulus for other ministers, especially the ministers of the Ministry of Finance, they feel that they should belong to their gold coins. Fly into the pocket of the Ministry of the Interior.

"Your Majesty, the four northwestern provinces are located at the junction of our country with the Kingdom of Deman, the Kingdom of Dessau, and the Rheinland Business Union. The external situation is extremely complex. We must focus on strengthening the strength of our intelligence department there in order to effectively avoid the neighboring countries’ penetration."

"Your Majesty, although the fighting between the Kingdom of Deman and the Kingdom of Dessau has not stopped, both countries have sent troops into the northwestern region of our country in the past few months; The specifications of weapons and equipment used by the Garrison Corps and the City Defence Corps have been increased to the level equivalent to the Imperial Legion Corps to ensure the strength of the four northwestern provinces in dealing with external crises."

"Your Majesty, the devastating damage caused by the rebel forces of the Rebellion Williams to the provinces of the Northwest Region is not only reflected in the people’s livelihood, but also in order and law; it is believed that the Central Empire must increase its investment in the reconstruction of the order in the Northwest Region. Only by restoring the social order in the northwest region can the restoration and reconstruction of the entire northwest region be on track quickly!"
