In fact, the current Li Nan is not attached to power, and he also hopes that his children will grow up quickly and take over the heavy responsibilities on him when the time comes.

In this era when there are basically no competitors, Li Nan will try to lay down as many territories as possible for future generations and the Chinese nation during his lifetime.

In this way, even if the descendants of future generations are not angry, they can rely on the old money that Li Nan saved for them to live better.

At present, for Li Nan, he does not need to worry too much about the attack on Western Xia, but how to govern Western Xia and properly solve the problem of domestic fiscal deficit is the top priority.

Due to the years of war, although the empire has won many battles, it has not received the resources to support the army from the war, so all of them are provided by the empire with this huge amount of military funds and materials.

Of course, occupying this large territory will be of great benefit to the empire in the long run, but that is all for later, and the present days still have to be lived.

Because the events of Western Xia happened suddenly, after Yue Fei and Zhang Shuye's Seventh and Eighth Legions of the Empire captured the Jinglong Golden Palace, they immediately rushed to Western Xia to participate in the war before they rushed back to the imperial capital to rest and receive awards.

Although the two legions did not come back, the bonuses and pensions that should be taken out must not be missing, otherwise it will hurt the morale of the imperial soldiers.

This time, the two group armies took Western Xia in one fell swoop, and in addition to the huge amount of materials consumed because of the long journey, it was a big expense to wait for them to return.

Military spending accounted for one-third of the empire's finances, while the other two-thirds was spent on transportation and water.

After continuous renovation by Imperial talents and long-term experimentation, the steam locomotive finally settled on a model, so the transportation department also began to replace the trains throughout the empire with new locomotives in batches.

At present, the transportation of the empire is centered on the imperial capital of Changsha, radiating in all directions.

Because the south is the starting place of the empire, the construction of railways and highways has long been completed, and it is also the first place to replace the head of the steam locomotive.

In the area from Lingnan to the imperial capital, the road construction has also been completed well, but after crossing the Yangtze River, it is different.

Because it was the territory of the Song Kingdom in the past, the development and construction time was relatively short, so there were only emergency roads, so this time the transportation department also put the laying of the railway on the agenda.

The transportation of the empire can be said to be the best in the south, and the worse it is in the north, and the eastern region is close to the sea, so the development and construction should be faster than that in the west.

The northern region is lagging behind in development because of the problem of time, while the western region is due to the constraints of the terrain, after all, it is too difficult to build roads in the land of Sichuan and Shu, and if there are not a large number of war criminals and laborers to use, it is really difficult to blow up a road in the mountains.

In order to bring this plateau into the arms of the empire as soon as possible, Zong Ze, the highest official of the transportation department, also appeared in Tibet from time to time to personally supervise the progress of the construction of railways and highways.

The water conservancy department, which had already separated from the Ministry of Communications, was now concentrating on the great problem of harnessing the Yellow River, and the manpower, material and financial resources spent were astronomical, and if it were not for the treasury bonds purchased by the people, it is estimated that the imperial treasury would have gone bankrupt long ago.

In the five-year development plan submitted by the Ministry of Communications to Emperor Li Nan, it is necessary not only to complete the construction of roads and railways in Tibet and Sichuan, but also to connect all the highways at the provincial, municipal and county levels to form a complete network.

No matter how it is built, it will cost a lot of money anyway, Li Nan, who has never worried about money, is most afraid of hearing the word money recently, and as for Karina, the chancellor of the exchequer, she has been busy recently and can't spare time to engage in her hobby science.

Because of the problem of the empire's fiscal deficit, whether it was Li Nan's followers, or those subordinates of the Song Dynasty, and even the newly trained officials of the empire, they all wrote to ask for a change in the tax rate.

The empire now had low taxes for peasants and high for merchants, especially on ocean-going trade.

The establishment of such a tax ratio is entirely due to the different ways of profit of the two, just like those maritime merchants who go to the ocean once are completely profitable, while the farmers work hard for a year and only have a small surplus.

After reviewing the folds sent by the ministers, Emperor Li Nan finally suppressed the matter, and he believed that the tax rate of the empire could not be changed, at least not now.

The area north of the Yangtze River has just calmed down from many wars, and these people have only lived a good time for two years, so it can be said that the wounds on their bodies have not healed, and their families have no extra resources.

Adjusting taxes at this time will make the lives of these people poor, which is not Li Nan's original intention, so he would rather the empire be more difficult than let the people chill, so he insisted on sticking to the current tax rate.

The news quickly spread from the mouths of the officials, and the newspapers of the empire reported on it.

No one likes to pay too much in taxes, so the whole country cheers for His Majesty's decision, so that the already prestigious emperor has many more admirers.

Li Nan thought about these myriad state affairs, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

is not in his position, he is not in his position, and after becoming the emperor, Li Nan has not known how many times he has regretted it.

Li Nan misses the good old days, taking a group of beauties to fight and adventure, life is full of passion and unknown excitement, far more comfortable than reading all day now.

Just as the so-called fear of something, there was a sound of footsteps, and Karina, the Minister of the Exchequer in a blue Huaxia palace dress, walked in.

At the first glance of Karina, Li Nan wanted to use light skills to escape, but it seemed that the other party also saw his intentions, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, I'm not here to ask for money!" ”

"Whew!" Hearing that Karina didn't come for money, Li Nan wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his head.

After pouring a cup of tea for Karina and the two of them sitting, Li Nan asked, "Didn't you just miss me this time?" ”

Karina, who hails from the Pirates of the Caribbean world, is not a squirming woman, and she said calmly: "Of course I miss you, but I'll talk about it later." ”

Handing a thick document to Li Nan, Karina said, "Your Majesty, you take a look at this first. ”

Li Nan opened the folder suspiciously, and after reading the opening chapter, he couldn't help but raise his head and said in surprise: "Your financial department plans to issue banknotes?" ”

Today, the main currency of the empire is the silver dollar, which circulates throughout the empire and in the surrounding countries, completely replacing other messy coins.

Although the unification of the currency was a great thing, and there was no problem at the beginning of the empire, it has also shown various disadvantages now, the biggest problem being that it is not easy to carry.
