"What is the annual military budget of the Yan Empire?" Ying Chang then asked, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent has won all battles, now that he has the opportunity to learn everything about the Yan Empire, he naturally can't give up this great opportunity, this is all valuable information.

"It depends on whether it is wartime or peacetime, the peacetime military budget is six million taels of silver, three and a half million stone grain, if wartime, the military budget is doubled, compared to the annual financial income of the Yan Empire, these military expenditures are nothing!" Zhang Feizi said with a smile on his face.

"Oh? How much is the annual financial income of the Yan Empire, it is nothing! Ying Chang was a little surprised, just the annual military expenditure of the Yan Empire is almost half a year's financial income of the Qin Empire, so much is nothing, how much money does the Yan Empire have!

"The main source of revenue of the Yan Empire is the salt tax, and the annual salt tax of the Yan Empire is as high as 20 million taels, plus the rest of the taxes, it is very considerable!" Zhang Feizi will answer all the questions and tell everything that Yingchang asks.

After hearing these words, Ying Chang couldn't help but become solemn, the road to be taken by the Great Qin Empire is still long, one Yan Empire will compare the Great Qin Empire, so wouldn't an empire that is more powerful than the Yan Empire crush the Great Qin Empire?

The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!

"Your Majesty, Great Qin has just begun, and the road ahead is still long, I believe that with the Northwest Desert as the foundation of the Great Qin Empire, the annual financial income of the Great Qin Empire will not be low!" Zhang Feizi said with a smile on his face.

Ying Chang nodded approvingly, indeed, the annual production of cattle, sheep and horses in the Northwest Desert can greatly increase the financial revenue of the Great Qin Empire, after all, cattle, sheep and horses are rare things for some empires, especially cattle and horses, which are priceless things.

And it can also indirectly raise commercial taxes, I believe that the smart Qin merchants will not give up this opportunity, this is all white silver.

"We have to increase fiscal revenue as soon as possible, otherwise I will run a deficit every year in Daqin, and the treasury will not be able to bear it!"

After this war, it is necessary to vigorously improve the economy, otherwise the treasury will really not be able to bear it.

"Annual fiscal deficits?" Zhang Feizi was slightly stunned, and asked with a slightly puzzled expression: "As far as the old man knows, since the implementation of the tenth-rank peasant lord system in the Great Qin Empire, a large number of barren fields and wastelands have become fertile land, and the grain tax should be considerable, and on the commercial tax side, the Great Qin Empire and the Great Qi Empire trade, and the commercial tax should not be low, and the salt tax, generally speaking, as long as there is no corruption in various places, it will not be too low, so how can there be a fiscal deficit every year?" ”

"Haha!" Ying Chang smiled bitterly, "Sir doesn't know, in order to equip the soldiers with sophisticated armor and weapons, Daqin changed the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War to the Ordnance Department, and expanded the number of craftsmen to 10,000, and the salary of craftsmen is not low, plus buying materials, you need to invest 10 million taels of silver a year!" ”

"In addition to the Ordnance Department, the military expenditure is not low, the budget of the Yan Empire's 500,000 army is five million taels of silver, and the military budget of my Great Qin Empire's 300,000 army has reached six million taels of silver, and after this battle, a large amount of silver is needed to compensate the families of the fallen soldiers, Mr. I don't know that my Great Qin soldiers are wounded and discharged, and there is a consolation fee of ten taels of silver every year, which is all expenses!"

"In addition, after the end of the Western Expedition, we have to engage in a reserve camp strategy, and when the time comes, a large amount of money and grain will be thrown down!" The more Ying Chang talked, the more heartache he felt, especially the strategy of the reserve camp, which is simply a gold-swallowing monster, asking for money from the head of the army, money for building a reserve camp, and food for the reserve soldiers, all of which are expenses!

"Oh my God!"

"In this way, the national budget should not exceed 20 million taels of silver in a year?"

"Your Majesty is really willing!"

The three Zhang brothers were shocked, they really didn't expect the military budget of the Great Qin Empire to be so large, not counting the others, the military expenditure alone reached 16 million taels of silver, which was three times the military expenditure of the Yan Empire, no wonder the Qin army was so brave, this is changed to the Yan army, the Yan army can also be brave!

Zhang Feizi, who was the former Yan Xiang, was also shocked by this figure, and also understood why the Qin Empire had a fiscal deficit every year.

"Your Majesty's investment is huge, and the harvest is not small!" Zhang Feizi stroked the beard under his chin and laughed softly.

Ying Chang smiled and said nothing, there is always a return on investment, and he has seen the return, the return is far greater than the investment, just a short crossbow, it is worth 100 million taels of silver!

At this time, Zhao Hao stood up and saluted Ying Changzuoji: "Your Majesty, the last general is almost rested, will the last general clean up the battlefield first, or send someone to pursue the straw hat emperor of Qi Qi Tol?" ”

Since the Great Wolf Empire established by Qizitor was not recognized by the countries of Kyushu, the emperor Qizitor was called the Straw Hat Emperor by the generals in the army, which means that there is no name.

Ying Chang was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Let's clean up the battlefield first, and don't pursue Qizitor for the time being!" ”

If Yang Hu did what he wanted, then he would not be afraid of Qizitor turning back, and at that time, he also heard Qiqitor shouting to evacuate to the west, so that the strategic goal had been achieved, and there was no need to rush to chase and kill Qiqitor.

In addition, the Qiang migratory army is basically on foot, and the speed is very slow, so let them run for a day first, and they can easily catch up with them.

"Yes!" Zhao Hao bowed down respectfully in response, and then turned to leave, and Galu Yue and Alonashun Katsuya immediately retreated.

Next, the Qin army and the Ningta army began to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time counted the casualties, after a period of statistics, the Qin army lost 1,000 in this battle, 3,000 seriously injured, and few minor injuries, the reason why there were so many serious injuries and so few minor injuries was mainly because of the equipment.

The soldiers of the Qin army were seriously injured, they were all fallen off their horses or trampled by the chaotic army, and the minor injuries were all twisted to the feet, twisted to the hands, and the deaths were all wiped on the throat, after all, the throat was the only fatal point of the soldiers of the Qin army, so they were taken care of by the wolf cavalry.

Compared with the Qin army's casualties of 4,000, the Ningta Legion was a bit miserable, with 40,000 killed, 10,000 seriously wounded, and more than 20,000 lightly wounded, adding up to 70,000 casualties, and the Ningta Legion basically reimbursed half of it.

Such heavy casualties in the Ningta Legion illustrate two points, the first point, the importance of equipment, and the second point, the strength of the wolf cavalry cannot be underestimated, and it can cause more than 70,000 casualties to the enemy army in a panic, which shows that the strength is not ordinary, if it is not for the Qin army to participate in the war, the Ningta Legion is estimated to be destroyed by the wolf cavalry.
