Chapter 19 The State Is Fine
On January 3, the 22nd year, the country's annual general report came out, with a total income of 20,000 taels of silver, a tax of 4,800 taels of silver, and a state trade and tariff of 15,200 taels of silver.
In addition, there is the expenditure report, which is used to pay the salaries of officials up to 4,000 taels of silver, 8,000 taels of silver for investment in science and technology, and another 6,000 taels for the maintenance of the Natuna settlement and the education popularization policy, and the remaining 2,000 taels are deposited in the state treasury.
On January 30, the 22nd year, the streets across the country are very lively, because tomorrow is going to be the Spring Festival, Cham is also influenced by Chinese culture, the Spring Festival is also one of their important festivals, at this time the country has nothing to do, the Pengyu is naturally happy to be idle, the craftsmen completed the order ten days ago, originally wanted to send it over immediately, but it was the annual Spring Festival, simply decided to send it over after the year, the past of the New Year, is there still a request to get a red envelope?
Regarding the matter of the nobles casually declaring war, although they finally won the victory and got a lot of benefits, but they let the nobles see the disadvantages of the nobles in power, and the Pengyu also took advantage of this to greatly reduce the power of the nobles, replace all the ministers they installed in the court, and wipe out their Pandulanga's forces, the nobles naturally did not dare to act rashly, and casually declared war on other countries in the name of the king.
On January 31, the twenty-second year, this day was Chinese New Year's Eve, the officials returned home early after attending the banquet of the hundred officials, and he was alone in the evening Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, looking at the seat full of 108 dishes, he had no appetite, although he was the king, his mother had long since died, his father, the previous king, also died on the way to intrude on Dayue, there was no one around him, he thought that maybe he should get married, he couldn't really die alone, the relatives of the previous Pengyu also mentioned, saying that you are also not a big boss, Why don't you get married and have children, the country still needs such an heir.
At that time, he also prevaricated on the grounds that he was very young, and now it seems that he should find someone to accompany him.
From Chinese New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival, the whole process of making Pengyu was rotten, just stay in his small bed, after the Lantern Festival, the fleet carried artillery and shells and set off in the direction of Guangzhou, this voyage used 4 warships to escort, these are all living money, must be protected, otherwise there will be a loss of raw materials and labor costs, the fleet set sail, and the people waved goodbye.
At present, education and trade are in full swing, and the military needs to be strengthened, and the war with Da Viet not only used the standing army but also recruited a lot of militia, the total number of people participating in the war reached 7,000, although the number of dead was less than 200, but because of the war wounded more than 1,000 people, of which such losses have been very large.
Now that Cham has taken Binh Thi and Haiphong, the population has skyrocketed, and there is a steady stream of Da Yue immigrants pouring into the country, with manpower as the foundation, the army can be expanded, but it is too early to expand the army, the country needs a period of recuperation and rest in the expansion of the army, the top priority is to train the order and fighting methods of the army, and the things brought back from Wu last time came in handy.
