"Long time no see, sir. King Oss greeted them, making them seem to know each other very well.

"Long time no see. Chen Ling said: "The emperor looks worried?"

"Sir, God-man, I am really worried about the recent internal and external troubles. ”

"I really can't stand it when I come to you today, but I don't know if what the emperor thinks and what I think are the same thing, if the emperor wants to, you can talk to me about your problem first. ”

"Absolutely. ”

King Oss is naturally willing to help this extremely strong master to help him come up with ideas, for this kind of person who has no entanglement of interests and has incomparable strength, he is willing to believe that the help he said is real help, not to get any benefits from him, otherwise he would not refuse to make him the supreme king at the beginning, and at the same time leave without asking for anything, all this shows that he is really helping this empire, and he will help in everything that is beneficial to the empire.

He had a very good idea.

"Sir also knows that there have been many wars outside before, and the internal situation is even worse, and the vast majority of the people in the inner court still need to be encircled shortly after my new accession to the throne, especially the military governor and the military assistant, they have heavy troops in their hands, and their loyalty to me also makes me doubtful, but my own troops are seriously insufficient now, and I must rely on their forces to prevent the kings from rebelling, Mr. should have known about the kings' alliance army attacking the inner court a while ago, which also made me realize that relying on the two of them cannot last long, in case they surrender to other kings, my fate will be the same as that of Orbis the Great, alas, this is what I am most worried about now。 The external battlefield is a little better. It's a mess inside. If I can get the help of my husband, I am really in a hurry, and I am willing to do my best to meet what my husband wants. ”

"I don't need anything from you, and I don't have to mention this in the future. Since the Emperor already knows that there is a serious shortage of troops, why don't he find a way to solve the problem of insufficient troops?"

"It's not that I don't want to solve it, it's that this problem needs to be accumulated for a long time, and it can't be solved at all in a short period of time. With the exception of the soldiers brought by my own territory, all the other soldiers in Orbis City are loyal to the Governor and the Commander, and I can only take them in for the sake of raising tigers. ”

"Then recruit new soldiers. ”

Chen Ling said: "You can only recruit new soldiers in your current situation. They will undoubtedly be directly loyal to you, step up their appointments, and use honor to firmly control them in your hands, and at the same time, these people must not be incorporated into the ranks of the military commander and the military governor and let them help you train, but must be personally led and trained by your own people, and form a third unit independent of the military assistant and the military governor, the military assistant they must be dissatisfied, but they are also dissatisfied with you for a reason, now that the imperial army is weak, it is normal to train new troops. Expanding your military is within your purview of decision-making, and it's an imperative in today's situation. The front line needs more warriors to fight, and the inner court needs more warriors to resist the kings' rebellion. ”

"What the gentleman said is very true. King Os's eyes lit up, but he quickly frowned and said: "But the continuous recruitment of soldiers in successive wars will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people, and this situation is also very unfavorable to the inner court. ”

"People's opinions are important, but now your first consideration should be to expand the military to ensure your position, after everything is stable, you will consider these sides, there is a give-and-take, this is a matter of choice, if you feel that the first thing to consider is the issue of public opinion, then you continue to hand over your security to two people you don't trust. ”

"Sir misunderstood, I listen to Sir's opinion. King Oss said hurriedly.

"Since you listen, then you should first find someone from the soldiers you trust to help you deal with this matter, so that the soldiers you train are your soldiers, and don't let the military commander and the military inspector get involved. ”

"This is natural. ”

"I don't know if you have encountered another question now?" Chen Ling asked: "After years of war and civil war, the financial expenditure of the empire has far exceeded the income, and now that you have to re-recruit troops, how long can the treasury support?"

"This ......," King Oss said embarrassedly, "Mr. Bu Lie said that the empire's finances were already very embarrassed when I ascended the throne, in fact, I had also thought about whether I needed conscription to solve the problem of insufficient troops, but in view of the lack of finances, I dispelled this idea, hoping to let the military governor and the military commander annihilate the other kings first, nationalize their forces and hand over their finances to offset the treasury." ”

"First of all, you can't control the troops of the kings, and they are easy to mutiny, especially when the military governor and the military assistant send people to provoke, these people are likely to become your confidants, and the idea of handing over their property is very good, but if the first step cannot be completed, the latter will not be said. ”

Chen Ling said: "My idea is very simple, take it from the people and for the people, after all, the financial problems of the empire need to rely on the people to solve, without this point no finance can last, even if you collect the kings' property, how long can you consume? Today's internal and external troubles require the treasury to spend huge sums of money every moment, how long do you think the kings' wealth can be supported? Only the continuous taxation of the people can ensure that the treasury has sufficient funds at any time. As far as I know, the taxes of the kings' lands are given to the kings themselves, and now you can cancel this decree with the will of the kings in rebellion, so that the empire will have more taxes than before. ”

"Sir is indeed a god, Orbis issued this decree in the hope of appeasing the kings, so that they can live in peace in their own territory, but the situation is just the opposite, the kings' increasingly fruitful wings have rebelled, as long as their tax rights are abolished, they do not have enough funds to train their own troops, and the empire will have more funds to do more things, sir. ”

Chen Ling said: " The people will inevitably be dissatisfied with your tax increase, but in the short term, you must collect taxes with the greatest strength, what you need most now is money, and the cohesion of the soldiers is easy to form when you have money, and it is relatively easy to weaken the power of the military governor and the military assistant after having your own troops, the real core of imperial power must still rely on yourself, and at the same time I give you a suggestion, don't hand over the military power to others, no matter how much you trust the person can not get the military power, don't forget the example of the military governor, Orbis was too trusting the military governor, and he didn't expect that the person he trusted the most would betray him until he died。 (To be continued.) )
