Then a few people went to look at the records of the state treasury's expenditures, and from the above records, from two or three months ago until Dane's disappearance, they were full of expenditures, expenditures, expenditures...... Occasionally, there is a line of income records sandwiched in, which is too inconspicuous compared to the entire expenditure record, and the past will be ignored if you are not careful.

"What a spend!" Xu Zheng sighed.

Cézanne and Forren's faces turned bluer.

The group then left the treasury and went to Bruce's residence. The servants were all surprised and delighted to see the eldest prince returning, and quickly arranged to eat and drink, and several people gathered around the table to eat and talk. At this time, a line of fish belly white has appeared on the horizon, and the dawn is about to come.

Xu Zheng was so hungry that he couldn't help but ask while nibbling on bread: "Fu Lun, I remember that you are in charge of these financial issues, don't you know that Uncle Dane spends money so lavishly?"

"Yes. Foran put down the cup in his hand, rubbed his brows painfully, and said, "Not only I know, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer also knows." But Dad clearly took advantage of the loophole we had overlooked. First of all, as a generation of emperors, my father has absolute control over the entire treasury. He wants to call on things in the treasury without the consent of me and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Can you understand this?"

Got it. Xu Zheng pouted, the evil monarchy centralism ......

Foran continued: "Secondly, we don't know what the total amount of the treasury is, and that thing is known only to my father. All we know is that my father has been spending a lot of money for a while, and we don't pay attention to it. ”

"Why?" asked Bruce, looking very bad. Forun's financial management skills are very good, and even he has been concealed, which is unusual.

Foran looked at Bruce: "Big brother, you should know that Cheng'an has always had a stable income over the years. Although the annual income is not much, it has been growing steadily and consistently. The country's strength has been getting stronger. ”

Bruce nodded, Cheng'an is not big, and the people are not rich, but they have always been able to say that the country is safe and the people are safe, which is what Cheng'an is proud of.

Fu Lun said again: "After Xu Zheng appeared. His wine, his paper, including the newspapers derived from it, and even the making of toys, all made a lot of money. Cheng'an is centered on Zion and has two ports as the focus. Make money very fast. I have never seen the treasury increase at such a rapid rate. So my father spent a lot of money on construction, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I think you should also understand what it means to keep developing and building. It's just that I didn't expect my father to spend so much, he spent the entire treasury, not to mention. I still owe a lot of debt!"

"Who do you owe?" asked Xu Zheng.

Fu Lun said: "All the nobles, all those who have a name and a surname in Cheng'an can be ranked, my father owes it. ”

"Total...... How much?"

Cézanne pulled out a stack of IOUs. slapped it on the table, and said with a smile: "Ah, it's all here." I've calculated that there are still 200 million after erasing the odds!"

Burst!

How many tons of gold coins are put together?

The wine Xu Zheng drank turned into a fountain. Bruce's face was so blue that it looked like someone had slapped him hard.

"That's a lot of money! These plus those in the treasury are hundreds of billions, to say the least. Even if he likes to throw gold coins to play with nothing, tens of billions of dollars just let him spill a lot of money, and he can't throw it away in one or two hundred years. Where did he spend it?"

Bruce wanted to ask, too.

"I think I know where he spends it," Cézanne said. Come and see. ”

Go to the window. Cézanne opened the curtains suddenly.

After all these hours of conversation, the window was already brightly lit. Today is another good sunny day, the cold wind flows slightly, and the cold air penetrates through the window, hitting the skin for a while, which makes people feel refreshed.

Bruce's residence was on the third floor, and Xu Zheng came to the window to look out, only to see that the entire imperial city was full of life. The servants and maids who got up early were working there in a hurry, cleaning and fetching water, and they were busy with their hands and feet, like industrious ants who got up early. The guards who changed shifts were in a hurry, the faces of the shifters were tired, the successors were tidying up their armor as they walked, and the soldiers on both sides greeted each other with smiles on their faces. At the Imperial Kitchen, the cook was cooking breakfast, and the whole row of chimneys was full of smoke, and there was a smell of milk and toast in the nostrils, which seemed to be full of vitality and made the whole morning full of life. Far away, there is a priest directing the nuns to clean up, the bell of the Imperial City Church is ringing, the sound is far and beautiful, and when it spreads in the air, it seems ancient and rustic, just listening to it, the whole heart is quiet. A little farther away, there are thick walls and tall battlements of arrows. Although he couldn't see it outside, Xu Zheng could imagine that it might be on the edge of the moat, and by the small lake, where an old man was fishing safely, or a farmer was slowly passing by with a cow. The cow was evidently freshly milked, munching hay in its mouth, with a brass bell tied around its neck, and occasionally mooing twice.

It's really beautiful. Just like the idyllic scenery that Xu Zheng remembered deeply in his previous life, natural and quiet, everything can be painted.

It's just that Xu Zheng didn't see where Dane spent his money. If the old farmer was wearing a golden sunhat, he thought he might know what Dane had done, but he didn't. Cheng An did not become significantly richer during the time he left, or at least everything seemed to Xu Zheng to have not changed much.

"Hasn't changed much?" Xu Zheng said.

"Really?" Cézanne smiled and pointed farther away, "Look again." ”

Xu Zheng followed his hand and looked farther away, then gasped and lost his voice: "My ...... Sun's!"

As far as the eye can see, there are many, many water towers! Although it is not densely packed to make people feel that it is a forest made of water towers, it is still shocking to see so many of them. At first glance, they are distributed in a regular manner, and there is always a water tower at fixed intervals, stretching out into the endless distance.

Bruce was also gasping and said in surprise, "Father took the money to do this?!"

Cézanne smiled wryly: "It seems to be." ”

"According to the results of my investigation......" Fu Lun said slowly, "Wherever there is a water tower in Cheng'an, the limit distance of the water supply area of a water tower will be next to the next water tower. It can be said that the water supply area of the water tower has almost completely covered the entire Cheng'an! Except for a few marginal areas, there are water towers where there are people!"

Xu Zheng's calves began to cramp, and he felt that he should find a stool to sit on. Otherwise, you will fall to the ground softly. Uncle Dane, you're a big deal. If you don't shoot, you won't shoot. As soon as he made a move, it was such an earth-shattering ghost and god......

What is the water supply area of a water tower, Xu Zheng, the designer, knows best. What is the cost of a water tower, he knows better. But this fool doesn't know how big Cheng'an is, he is the most confused prince who doesn't know how big his family business is. Now he really wanted to know the land area of Yicheng'an, and how many such things had to be inserted in order to fill it.

He immediately turned to Cézanne. Cézanne looked at Xu Zheng with strange and contemptuous eyes for a while before slowly explaining to Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng, a foolish worm, listened to it for a long time before he figured it out, it turned out that the current situation of the entire Aris Continent was very similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in ancient China. There is a castle that is reasonably passable and calls itself a king, and a little land is called a territory. The whole situation is like the territory of King Arthur's father King Uther before he rose, that is, a little bigger. A castle and a few villages, not even a few towns with a climate.

What is worse than that is that in addition to other inconspicuous small states during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin, were relatively climatic. On the continent of Aris, the sea of climate has gone. Xu Zheng was still in his hair, and Cézanne had already crackled and reported a string of country names, which was as much as a cow's hair. It seems that the planet where the Aris continent is located is much larger than Xu Zheng's home planet. Therefore, there are many countries that are chaotic and self-reliant with castles, and Cheng'an is next to Tusiga and Chilian, one of these two countries has a strong warrior, and the other country has a lot of fertile land, and they seem to be more powerful than Cheng'an.

Fortunately, Cheng'an is much better than King Uther's fingernail-sized territory, and Cheng'an radiates outward with the Imperial City of Samus as the center, and there are three important towns under it. Twenty-three villages, with a total land area of about 2,500 square kilometers, are almost half the size of a small city on Xu Zheng's home planet in his previous life.

Cheng'an, with a total area of only 2,500 square kilometers, is really small in Xu Zheng's opinion, but there is only one barren river on the 2,500 square kilometers of land, which makes the land poor and barren with water and fertilizer. It seems that Dane really did something to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, smashing pots and selling iron, repairing water towers, and wanting to do it once and for all. How many water towers must be built on an area of 2,500 square kilometers to solve the problem? Xu Zheng didn't even want to do the math, because he would have a terrible toothache when he did the math.

Fu Lun also added fuel to the fire and said: "These water towers are different from when the imperial capital built them, all of them are high-end goods, and even the magic crystals skip the first order, but at least from the second order." In addition, according to his father's financial expenditure records, he also dug and built many reservoirs, irrigation ditches, etc., and he almost prepared a system equivalent to agricultural irrigation, water supply and drainage. In addition, he also purchased a large number of seeds, specialties, and even ore samples by land and sea, such as the rice, glutinous rice, black rice, oats, pepper, peanuts, black beans, etc. you mentioned, including the breadfruit of the elves, which were mentioned in the letter written by the eldest brother when you were in Orson Manor, as long as your father could find them, he would have them all. Also, he provided the peasants with utensils......"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Xu Zheng shouted, completely unable to listen. In a word, the wise and industrious Emperor Dane worked very hard, he did a lot of work, the greatest part is that he emptied the treasury, not to mention the debt, and spent all his money on the construction of agriculture and the preparation for the future.

Very insightful, and very - look for a draw!

Bruce was glaring at Forlen, Jimmy wanted to laugh but didn't dare, Cézanne was smiling wryly the whole time, and everyone was speechless. Xu Zheng was even more impulsive and wanted to hit the wall. And the perpetrator left this mess behind, and he had already fled, not knowing where he was happy.
