"1.2 billion is just the basic consumption......

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor Tang Chuyang began to refute, Jin Junyuan, who was leaning on the bottom, couldn't help but stand up, Old Man Lu is too domineering, and it is reasonable to say that you will use your seniority to suppress you.

In addition, Old Man Lu is in charge of money and people, and everyone has to ask him inside and out, so a large group of high-ranking officials inside and outside dare not provoke him.

Jin Junyuan is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the expenses of the courtiers and even the dynasty, and he can't count the places where the money is used.

"Let's talk about the Ministry of Rites, in the past three months, the first month was fine, after all, there are not many people, and there are few places to spend, but the cost of these two months is more amazing, last month, the expenditure of the Ministry of Rites has reached 500 million silver dollars,

Next month, there will be a conference to fight for concubines, according to the old lady's meaning, this is to celebrate the whole country, a big operation, just the financial advance has been as high as one billion silver dollars, and not counting the new Fu Zheng, if even this is counted, it will cost ......"

Jin Junyuan didn't continue to talk anymore, because every time he reported a number, the old man Lu, who managed the finances, twitched his face, which made him very worried, if he continued, the old man would not hold a cane and directly fight him.

However, Jin Junyuan's worry was obviously superfluous, because before Old Man Lu had time to lose his temper, Mu Yuanming, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly spoke.

"In fact, the largest expenditure is still the Ministry of War, and now the five major legions under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, such as Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, and Qilin. Three of them have begun to be built one after another, and the Blue Dragon Legion is now an army, with nearly 100,000 monks.

Among them, there are 90,000 monks in the Four Phase Realm, 8,000 monks in the Five Elements Realm, and nearly 1,000 monks in the Six Elements Realm. The Seven Star Realm cultivators are already over a hundred, and their monthly salary is given according to the lowest salary, which will be several times the sum of the other five departments!"

After saying this, Mu Yuanming had already stood in the middle of the main hall, and after raising his hand to arch to Tang Chuyang on the dragon chair, Mu Yuanming said with a serious face:

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the monthly salary on the legion's side is too high, which is more than three times that of the Royal Guards of the Four Extremes Dynasty. Can we cut back on this?"

"This won't work!"

Tang Chuyang shook his head and refused without thinking about it, although he felt in his heart that ordinary civilians were more important than monks, but for the nascent Shenyuan Dynasty today, the role of monks was much more important than that of civilians, and Cang Yao and Qi Xi, the two super powerhouses of the Nine Palace Realm, were indeed very deterrent.

But if there are too many ants and they can bite the elephant to death, if the Four Extremes Dynasty really unites and fights to the death with the Shenyuan Dynasty, it is definitely not a problem for people to come up with dozens of super powerhouses in the Nine Palace Realm, maybe Wang Anbao There are not a few sub-gods who are stronger.

Even if you don't count the top masters of the Nine Palace Realm. With the Four Extremes Dynasty dominating the human race for tens of thousands of years, they are afraid that they will be able to make up thousands of demigod-level powerhouses. Even tens of thousands, no matter how strong Cangyao is, can he withstand the siege of thousands of demigods?

As for the more than thirty divine beasts in Jiangliang, their real strength is not as terrifying as the outside world imagined, and the Sunset Mountain Range has been besieged so many times and still has not been completely occupied, which is not only the credit of dozens of divine beasts.

The main thing is the intrigue between the major forces. No one wants to make a lot of effort and end up cheapening others, and the best way to do not want to cheapen others is to retain their strength, which also gives Jiang Liang and more than 30 other divine beasts room to turn around.

If the Terran side really wants to fight to the death with the Sunset Mountain Range, the Four Extremes Dynasty alone will be enough to bring down the Sunset Mountain Range, not to mention the Sea Clan. And with the participation of dozens or hundreds of other races?

It is precisely because there are too many forces involved in the battle for the Sunset Mountain Range that the Sunset Mountain Range is in a very delicate position, and all the forces have reservations to make a move, and Jiang Liang and other more than thirty divine beasts naturally have room to make a move.

Tang Chuyang didn't understand this truth before, but after more than 200 years of exchanges between Ni Cai'er, Han Xingyun, and Wang Anbao, who stood at the top of the mainland, his eyes on things were different, or rather, Tang Chuyang already had a certain strategic vision.

When he was still in the Golden Body Divine Tower, from the moment he understood the true situation of the Sunset Mountain Range, Tang Chuyang had already wanted to go back quickly, which was the main reason why he was in such a hurry to go home in the Divine Tower.

When he returned to Jingyun County, the reason why Tang Chuyang did not rush home in a hurry, but chose to pay a private visit to Weifu was also because he wanted to know what kind of state the current Shenyuan Dynasty was in.

At the same time, he also has the intention of relying on his own eyes to develop talents, and there is another point that Tang Chuyang has never been embarrassed to discuss directly with the old lady, for example, he feels that Lu Chengfeng is not suitable to serve as the head of the household.

After all, although Lu Chengfeng is the center, the highest position he has stood in so far is only a patriarch, and he is also the small patriarch of the family general.

Suddenly promoted Lu Chengfeng to manage the eating, drinking, and Lazar of hundreds of millions of people, Tang Chuyang felt that the Shenyuan Dynasty had not made a mess until now, which was a miracle at all!

Not only Lu Chengfeng, but also Jin Junyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Fang Buhui, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Tang Yunqian, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Tang Yunjiao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Mu Yuanming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Mu Yuanming of the Ministry of War in the six departments of the Dynasty are quite comfortable.

The rest of the people, whether they are Tang Chuyang's two aunts or the heads of the three generals' families, are not suitable candidates to be the head of the department, this is actually very understandable to Tang Chuyang, there is no one in the Shenyuan Dynasty!

In other words, there are no loyal and reliable people, and the elders of Shenyuan Palace are not idle, such as Liu Xing, who is responsible for assisting Lu Chengfeng, a scholar, and is equivalent to a high-ranking official with real power like a deputy minister.

But these people who followed the Tang family, or Tang Chuyang, were either the elders of the outer sect, the protector of the law, the hall master, etc., who were unhappy in the sect, or they were scattered cultivators who didn't even have backers, and it was basically a pipe dream to expect them to be familiar with political affairs.

Tang Chuyang can now understand that the reason why he used a group of inexperienced people to manage a huge dynasty and persisted for half a year without any chaos was that there were Cangyao and Lixi, as well as more than 30 divine beasts.

Another reason is that the welfare benefits of the Shenyuan Dynasty are so good that most of the scattered cultivators are reluctant to let this nascent dynasty collapse, and this is still the main factor that supports the Shenyuan Dynasty to be stable until now!

"I can't continue like this......

Tang Chuyang sighed, doing this is definitely not a long-term solution, since he has come to this point, he feels that his mentality should also be adjusted appropriately, of course his own people should be treated well, but it also depends on the way. (To be continued.) )
