Roman Empire of Total War

Some things in the past do not have to be forgotten, but they must be put down.

"It turns out so!" Bai Feng nodded slightly and then fell into contemplation.

With the coronation of Bai Feng as emperor, the Sophia Chamber of Commerce, which originally belonged to him, has actually secured the seat of the future Royal Chamber of Commerce; there is the support of the Imperial Central Government, and there are three major intelligences of the hidden guard, the net, and the mournful dead. With the industrial merger of the organization, the size of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce will soon usher in explosive growth.

Before the meeting was held, Bai Feng and Sofia, Marcus, Salah and others have specifically studied the current status and future development strategy of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce. From the financial situation of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce this year, it is not included in the three major intelligences. Under the premise of the industry to which the organization belongs, the Sofia Chamber of Commerce now has annual net income of about 250 million gold coins.

This includes both the monopoly of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce in the six eastern provinces, as well as the investment income of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce in the six northern and ten southern provinces, and the income from cooperation with the Westminster Chamber of Commerce. The accuracy of the amount is still Certainly guaranteed.

According to speculation, in the next three years, the annual net income of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce will be at least twice that of the previous year; this means that the net income of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce next year will also have at least 500 million gold coins, and this number will increase to 10 in the following year. 100 million, the year after the second year is 2 billion.

Because these three years will be the outbreak period for the Sofia Chamber of Commerce to grow and expand, so with the rapid growth of income, there is also the massive investment that the Sofia Chamber of Commerce has to pay; after deducting this part of the investment, the Sofia Chamber of Commerce actually obtains disposable income that is actually available every year It won't exceed 500 million gold coins, and the number in the first two years may not even reach 300 million gold coins.

Even with the addition of the industries of the three major intelligence organizations, the Secret Guardian, the Luowang, and the Elegy of Death, the Sofia Chamber of Commerce’s actual disposable income will not exceed 600 million gold coins per year; of course, the last year of the three-year strategy, the Sofia Chamber of Commerce 'S annual income can certainly exceed 600 million gold coins, but some money can't wait for three years.

The imperial library of the Hohenzollern family was actually defeated by Charlie the Great and Emperor Pross. After entering the main palace, Bai Feng obtained nothing but a clean warehouse that was clean enough to run mice; this meant that , The Sophia Chamber of Commerce, which is about to bear the name of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, the actual annual disposable income is basically equal to the royal library assets that Bai Feng can use.

When the military expenditures of the Ministry of Military Affairs were just agreed, Bai Feng had promised that the Imperial Army’s annual military expenditures would be allocated half of the royal treasury, that is, 115 million gold coins per year; after removing this huge capital expenditure, the royal treasury is practically impossible. The supporter has been secretly guarding.

Under the premise that the imperial library has no money to support the secret guard, and the Ministry of Finance does not want to pay for the secret guard, what should Bai Feng, the new emperor, do? Contemplating Bai Feng for a long while, he asked Marquis Crosique, the first minister of the Ministry of Finance:

"Crossick, where else will the Ministry of Finance need to spend money early next year?"

"Your Majesty, in accordance with established practice, our Ministry of Finance will allocate five million gold dollars in official expenses to the Prime Minister’s Office and central government departments at the beginning of each year; The Ministry of Finance will spend 35 million gold coins."

"The provinces that directly belong to the central government, each province also needs 5 million gold dollars in official expenses every year. Our current 41 directly-owned provinces need a total of 205 million gold coins; these two hundred and forty million Gold coins are money that our Ministry of Finance must allocate."

"The prime minister’s office and the central ministries require five million gold dollars in official expenses each year, which is not too much. After all, each department maintains so many officials, and occasionally sending officials to the local boat and car needs to spend money, but local provinces can save money. Do you need so much official expenses?"

"Your Majesty, although the local province’s urban defense forces and garrison regiments have been directly supported by the military and our Ministry of Finance, the local government departments, financial departments, supervisory departments, and intelligence departments all need our funds to provide support; in addition to the large number of In addition to the official system, there are also executive officers recruited by local authorities that need to be maintained, and public facilities in cities and towns in the province also need regular maintenance."

Whether it is in the narrow and sparsely populated Roman world, or in the northeast region of the sparsely populated land, or the relatively small six provinces in the east, it is not difficult to rule; the empire is now under the rule of Baifeng Forty-one provinces have a population of more than 1.5 billion. With such a huge area and population, it is naturally very difficult to rule.

It must be acknowledged that the Marquis of Marshal Krossick said Bai Feng, frowning slightly and asking, "From your past experience, is it enough for the central government and local authorities to save five million gold dollars in official expenses each year?"

"Your Majesty, the annual official funding of five million gold coins has been the statute of the empire. It has not been changed for hundreds of years; this money will never be used up, even if it is not enough, our Ministry of Finance will have no money. Call them."

"In this case, then at the beginning of the year, let's allocate funds to the ministries and localities according to this standard."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Heinrich."

"Chen is here!"

"Heinrich, you are the second minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the embassy official in charge of corruption and bribery of the Ministry of Justice. I will give you a task: from today, increase anti-corruption supervision of the central and local ministries Vigorously, found that the embezzlement arrested directly on the spot!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Salah."

"Chen is here!"

"Salah, from now on, your Ministry of Finance will allocate official expenses to local provinces. Your Central Ministry of Finance will send special personnel to the local Ministry of Finance to supervise the use of all official expenses. It's useful!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After issuing several murderous orders in succession, Bai Feng reverted back to the original topic and said: "In the Ministry of Information, the maintenance funds for the tragic dead and the snare net are divided by half from the Ministry of Finance and the Royal Library; secret For the maintenance of Wei, the Ministry of Finance allocated 20% in proportion, and the remaining 80% was allocated from the Royal Library."

"Your Majesty, if our Treasury allocates 129 million gold coins to the Ministry of Intelligence one month later, then our Treasury’s inventory funds will be sharply reduced to less than 50 million gold coins, which is still in turmoil. The Chinese Empire is very dangerous."

Faced with another objection raised by the Marquis of Crosic, Bai Feng waved his big words with a big hand: "Despite the peace of mind of your Ministry of Finance, if there is any unrest in the empire, no matter how much money your Ministry of Finance needs, I will Provided to you within days! But you also have to remember to me that the value of gold coins is to promote the prosperity and development of the empire, not to be placed in the warehouse as a display!"
