"Xiao Tang, you are my prime minister. No one will hide my thoughts from you. What is the army used for? The army is used for war. If it is maintained as a decoration, used for inspection, and serve as a guard of honor, then this kind of army is better than to be removed and waste the imperial food and fodder. At present, the empire is first established, and it seems that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, but only we know the suffering inside. The countries of Liberia are now resting and recuperating, but we are now unable to wipe out the Maqikhan in one fell swoop. The Maqikhans in the south are also a source of our great constraints. The Japanese in the East are also a confidant. The reason why the empire retains such a large army is to prepare to fight a life-and-death battle with the enemies of these empires. Now all parties are accumulating strength, not only military power, but the entire national strength will play a huge role in this battle."

Wufeng carefully considered the words, "If it is a single country or even two countries, the empire can win firmly, but what about the three and four countries? Even if the empire wins, it will be a serious injury, so we have to prepare early. The army must go through cruel wars to truly be tempered and formed, and the Central Continent will also be a place of wealth that brings huge returns to the empire. This is my idea. As for the development of the Central Continent's war, I don't mind, and it will be able to maintain the current situation at the least.

I believe Cui Wenxiu is not so mediocre. I will ask the Privy Council to negotiate with Cui Wenxiu and ask him to take over the expenses of the troops under his jurisdiction as soon as possible. Is it still hungry if he is guarding such a big treasure pot? I don’t believe that there is no oil or water to make at the West Indian and Deans in the South Indians. However, the income of the Goatik tribe vault is somewhat controversial. If it really doesn’t work, let Cui Wenxiu extract it from it as military funds at a rate of 30%. The rest of the part ordered the financial department to take it back to the empire as soon as possible."

"Thirty percent? Your Majesty, isn't this too much?" Xiao Tang's face seemed to be distorted with heartache. He had been planning and preparing this fund for a long time and had arranged it for unknown amounts of use. Although he knew that it would inevitably be divided into a spoonful of military expenses, he did not expect that Wufeng would be so willing to do so. "Thirty percent is more than 60 million. Your Majesty, if this is used for the construction and investment in our empire, then I don't know how much benefits it should be generated. The troubles in the north of the empire can be solved."

"Xiao Tang, sixty million gold coins, say more than more, less, now the empire is a big snake hole, the source is open, but it is not that easy to get the flow after the festival. It is always asking for money everywhere, I know it is not easy for you, but if you calculate Cui Wenxiu, the Tiger Guard Legion and the Imperial Eleventh Legion, the number of troops is almost over 800,000, 800,000. Just paying for a salary, I will get five million imperial gold coins every month, plus the opening of the war.

I am afraid I can't get it if I don't have seven or eight million gold coins in a month? These more than 60 million gold coins in the empire are only half a year's expenses? Military expenditure is like a bottomless pit. I don't know, but we still have to throw money into this bottomless pit now. So if I don't catch the Tiger Guard Legion and the Eleventh Legion on the battlefield and polish it, I don't feel happy. At least I have to earn some money for the empire and make it more balanced as an emperor."

As he spoke, Wufeng's originally solemn tone changed back to the sloppy and slutty smell of the past, which made Xiao Tang shook his head repeatedly. Even if he became the emperor, the lord still had a difficult nature to change. He always cared about giving and needed rewards. Even the national plan was the same. But the statement was reasonable. It was driven by this psychological force that the empire developed so quickly. The business community also continued to set off an investment frenzy under the empire's policy of encouraging industry and commerce, which made the empire present a prosperous development scene at the beginning of its inception, and made Xiao Tang, the Prime Minister of the State Council, feel very pleased.

"Your Majesty still has to pay attention to your words and deeds. Although it has nothing to do with the overall situation in front of me, Your Majesty is now the king of a country and is responsible for the education of all people. Every word and deed will play an unexpected and subtle role in the people of the empire. Although such subtle details cannot be seen for a while, they will produce huge binding force over time."

Xiao Tang's bitterness made Wu Feng feel bitter: "Xiao Tang, I have worked so hard to treat this emperor, far less than I was as comfortable as the King of Grass Head in the northwest. Isn't this emperor not done by humans? Such constraints and restraints, what does this emperor mean in front of me? Don't tell me that the emperor is a responsibility and obligation. If it is like this, wouldn't it be a fool to break the head and fight for this position? I won't be a fool? I won't be a fool, but I have to compare myself with my heart. I have to make me feel free and happy? Could it be that if I sit in this position, I can only be as high as a Bodhisattva who is isolated from the world, without any freedom, and I have to think twice before doing anything. Is this person too hard and tasteless to live? Then why can you sit in the throne?"

Half-taught and half-deprecating words, he was so frightened that he had been sitting upright that Xiao Tang turned over and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, my fault..." For a moment, he couldn't find a suitable word to explain. Even Xiao Tang himself felt that His Highness the King of Qin ascended the throne and became emperor seemed to have become much more melancholy. The complicated matters made it difficult for him to take it out to do what he wanted to do. Although he felt a little successful, it seemed difficult to compare with what he had lost.

"Forget it, get up, I'm just sentimental. I have nothing to do with you. History books say that this founding emperor is not easy to sit. At this time, I really realized that it was not done by humans. At this time, I really envy those unjust monarchs who lost their country. At least their personal pleasures have been fully satisfied, right?" Wufeng had almost no scruples in front of Xiao Tang, and could say anything, and dared to say anything. Seeing Xiao Tang smiled bitterly again, Wufeng shook his hand in a desolate manner, "Forget it, let's not talk about these things, let's talk about serious matters. The spring drought in the north is probably not relieved for a while. The disaster relief and relief must be prepared immediately, so that the Ministry of Finance will not be slackened. If there is any negligence, it will cause a big mess. The Ministry of Interior also needs to closely monitor the situation in various places to prevent some people from taking the opportunity to make trouble..."

Wufeng, who returned to the palace, stared blankly at the lake outside the window, and since he ascended the throne, his goal seemed to be a little blurred. Although he had determined the direction of the empire's development, the happiness of specific implementation no longer belonged to him. At most, he would have determined it in terms of major policies. At this time, he really envied Cui Wenxiu. He was able to command hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hunted on the land of India and De'an. I am afraid that this kind of scenery, spirit and taste will never be able to be experienced in my life. Maybe this is the trajectory of everyone's own progress, and no one can replace it, but why are he always a little unwilling to do it in his heart?

I am afraid that I will not enjoy this battle in the mainland. However, I will not give up this battle that touches the empire's land. Perhaps this is the only opportunity for my life to have the opportunity to realize my dream in person. If I miss this opportunity, I am afraid that I will not be able to rest in peace even if I die.

However, the opportunity to conquer the countries of Liberia is far from ripe. Wufeng can imagine what kind of war it would arouse if he wanted to destroy the countries of Liberia. The Liberia would not wait to die. This is a war that determines the survival of the nation-state. There is no room for reconciliation and compromise. If the empire wants to win this battle, it has to be the most fully prepared. In all aspects of politics, military, economic, diplomatic, especially military and economic aspects. When it comes to a full showdown, the Liberia will inevitably work together to resist the conquest of the empire. That is a battle to compete for comprehensive forces. The elders win. It can be said that there is almost no possibility of opportunism.

Everything I have to do now is to make various preparations for the battle to lay the foundation for the empire, revitalize the empire to develop the economy, and expand the navy in the central and western expeditions, it is just a step taken by multiple legs. Only by conquering the Liberian Empire can we truly get a stable environment on land, and only by completely conquering the Japanese can we ensure that the empire's maritime power can be truly demonstrated. How much time does Wufeng dare to make a sudden assertion, but Wufeng hopes that the shorter the time, the better. Every day, the enemy's power may grow, and the difficulty of conquest may be difficult to reach.

Thinking of this, Wufeng couldn't help but clench his fists. At least he still had a dream. If he didn't even have this dream, then his career as an emperor would be too boring.

Angel also felt a little anxious when she saw her husband looking at the distance. She had never seen Wufeng laugh happily since she ascended the throne. The tedious affairs made her husband's temper become more and more irritable. She had made her husband's temper special. She had made her appointment with Xiao Tang and Su Qin, and had also talked with Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen, asking them to decide on their own general affairs without reporting everything. However, the empire was first established, and there was almost no small matter.
