This time, tens of thousands of people lost. Qin Mo had previously set a pension of 500 taels, and this expenditure alone exceeded 50 million taels.

Fortunately, in recent years, the tax revenue of big jobs has been very good, and this year's tax ledger has been released.

A full 114.32 million taels.

This is just the general tax account, such as Gaoli, Wozhou, Nanfan, celestial phenomena, and grasslands, which are all distinguished separately.

The Minister of War, the military expenditure this year exceeded 18 million taels.

The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry jointly submitted a letter, and the expenditure exceeded 40 million taels.

In other words, once this pension is given, it will be in vain this year.

Moreover, the pensions are not bought out in one lump sum, so the families of these martyrs must also be managed well. They must also provide food subsidies for holidays every year.

This is another big expense.

After a rough calculation, Li Shilong found that the expenditure would not be less than 65 million taels.

Fortunately, these places can be self-sufficient, otherwise he would have to get the money from the treasury.

If he gets tens of millions of taels at a time, he will feel heartbroken.

Li Yue's eyes darkened, "Yes, my son understand!"

"Go down, the prince stay!"

"Goodbye, please!"

After everyone left, there were only father and son left in the huge Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shilong looked at Li Yue, "Old Ba, come up!"

Li Yue hurriedly ran up and bowed slightly. His eyes had long lost the former spirit, and his eyes were dodged, "Please give me a message!"

"This time the expenditure is too large. If the lost military funds are included, the treasury's annual income is not enough.

Fortunately, using the racecourse, the cost of operating the seventy-two yamen in the capital can be self-sufficient, otherwise, this will be a few million taels of expenses.

It took more than twenty years for the great karma to enter the prosperous era, which was the foundation laid for more than twenty years.

If Li Yongming hadn't been smart, this battle would have defeated the accumulation of years of hard work.

It would be difficult to revive if it is prosperous and declining," said Li Shilong.

"My son understand!" Li Yue said: "I just hate that I am not capable enough!"

Li Shilong waved his hand, "I don't mean to blame you, I just want to tell you that the king who is in charge is more difficult than the king who is pioneering at the moment.

The territory of Dakan has almost doubled. If the Western Regions wins this battle, Yuezhi and Dashi will also do it sooner or later.

With Yuezhi and Dashi as springboards, the huge Western Regions will sooner or later become a place to do their best.

There are hundreds of countries and tens of millions of people there. Have you figured out how to manage such a large territory?"

"This..." Li Yue didn't expect Li Shilong to ask this question. He thought for a while and said, "Use barbarians to control barbarians and copy the celestial phenomena!"

To be honest, Li Shilong was quite disappointed when he heard this, but he did not show it, "The total population and territory of those countries are not inferior to that of the Central Plains. If the troops are sent to guard the country, it will take at least 300,000 to 400,000 people.

The annual expenditure is astronomical. If the railway is built in the future, the money will be consumed no less than tens of billions.

Oh, I haven’t counted Yizhou and Nanyang yet!”

Li Yue is irritated.

He did not think about these questions carefully.

"Prepare for the future, recruit troops, guard, immigrate, integrate ethnic groups, and use barbarians to control barbarians..." Li Yue explained the current methods of the people of other tribes.

This method has been verified and is very effective.

They all take pride in being a member of the tribe.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Li Shilong's eyes. Do you only know how to read the script?

This method is not applicable.

There are many sects in the Western Regions. If you only use this method, it will be difficult to completely rule, and it will definitely leave a root of disaster.

It’s okay if the dynasty is strong, but if any problems arise, those generals who lead troops will easily become a disaster.

Now he really understood why Qin Mo had warned him earlier not to over-establish the Jiedushi.

These military governors may not be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

I can only say that Qin Mo's vision is too far.

"How about Zhenfan?" Li Shilong asked.

Li Yue's hair was standing up, "Title?"

"Yes, I'll give the brigade!" Li Shilong said: "Those who can be in peace and stability for a long time can only be achieved through this method!"

"But my father, although the vassal kings have not abolished the feudal vassal, they have no military power! If they give military power to the vassal kings, it will probably lead to a disaster for a long time!" Li Yue's first thought of was the possible consequences of the feudal vassal after he took office in the future.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. How difficult is it to reduce the vassal states?

It takes half a year to deliver the message, and it will be given a weapon to them. If you fight, who will win or lose.

If you listen to the tune or not in the future, what will you do with him?

By then, the vassal kings will really have no way to unite.

Li Yue thought about it and analyzed the pros and cons.

Will Li Shilong not understand his thoughts?

He completely distrusts his brother!

I don't even understand the principle that the meat is rotten in the pot.

It is difficult for him to reduce the vassal states. Is it easy for them to send troops to the Central Plains?

In the future, the railway connection will be connected to the next level, such as grasslands, Gaoli, Jilin, Shidan and other places, which will be no problem.

Wuzhou is now a royal family member. As long as the taxes are handed over regularly and in a regular basis every year, what if he doesn't care?

As for Nanfan, there is no need to worry.

The celestial phenomena have more than 300,000 troops stationed in Lingnan and Nanfan. As long as the troops stationed in Lingnan and Nanfan and the navy are added, the Western Regions will be within the range of attack.

The problem of governing the vassal states mentioned by Li Yue may occur, and hundreds of thousands of troops are not vegetarians.

If Li Yue manages well and waits for the throne to fall into his son, he will not be worried that no one will be available.

It is adjusted every three to five years, and it is difficult to form a vassal state.

Moreover, Qin Mo once said a solution.

In the Western Regions or the celestial phenomena, the adult princes were put on the training, and the law of inheritance had been innovated.

Or choose a place to move the capital and strengthen the control of the court.

"The father must consider this matter carefully!" Li Yue said.

"I understand!" Li Shilong nodded, "Go down and spend time with the Crown Princess, don't make her sick easily!"

Li Yue nodded, "My son asked for his leave!"

After Li Yue left, a deep sigh came from the Tai Chi Palace.

When he returned to the East Palace, Li Yue looked ugly and no one wanted to see him.

"My father is so confused that he actually wants to re-select the law of enfeoffment. Once the enfeoffment is out and a kingdom is established, all officials will be fully equipped.

If you support it with the strength of a place, you will definitely raise a vassal state.

The Western Regions are rich and not inferior to the Central Plains at all. If they are given firearms, it will be even more difficult to reduce the vassal states." Thinking of this, Li Yue was so depressed.

He thought of Li Shilong's last words again, and his face looked even more ugly, "Didn't that sick man run to say something to his father again?"

He ran into Liu Ruyu's bedroom angrily, kicked open the door, and saw the maid serving Liu Ruyu to take medicine.
