"Your Majesty, the Empire urgently needs a war."


    It was not the monster leaders such as war maniac Hogg and Nero, but the half Lich Ryan: "I think we must invade a rich land as soon as possible and conquer, kill and plunder."


    "Why?"


    Caesar looked down at him suspiciously. Although the black dragon was not a good guy, it was not dominated by the desire to conquer at any time like the five color dragon. Caesar himself did not desire war, especially the meaningless war without purpose.


    "I''m sorry to remind you that the Treasury of the Empire has been in deficit."


    Ryan bowed his head and said, "our export trade and taxes are not enough to support the expenses of the Empire. In addition to the profitability of the assembly line Arsenal, your black wing army, weapons research institute, material manufacturing room, shipyard and smelter all need to invest a lot of money, and now we are stretched."


    Caesar showed a little surprised look: "you say the Treasury is in deficit? We export more than 3000 armor weapons every month. Coupled with the bulk trade of grain and timber, together with the lucrative elegy card and tax revenue, we can''t offset the consumption of the Empire?"


    "Yes, your majesty."


    Ryan nodded and took out a lot of books from his pocket: "this is the detailed rules of income and expenditure of the Empire for the whole year. The following people have finished the statistics and can check it at any time. If you need it."


    "Forget it."


    The black dragon shook his paws and asked him to check these things. No wonder Ryan said that the Empire needed an aggressive war. This is the fastest way these guys can think of to make money. War money is really easy, especially for a mixed Empire like black wing.


    But Caesar was not interested in such a war, and it was not a long-term plan for a country to maintain internal friction by plundering. Necessary institutions such as shipyards and weapons research institutes could not stop. He had to find ways to make money.


    "How long will it last if I open my treasure house?"


    Caesar asked stiffly that his treasure house and the imperial treasury were not the same thing. After ruling the whole North, this guy finally became rich. The black dragon had a mountain of gold and silver treasures in the treasure house deep in the king''s court, which was enough for the Empire to squander for a period of time.


    Ryan was stunned. Everyone knew what the treasure meant to a giant dragon. It was good that the Black Dragon Emperor didn''t take all the gold coins of the Empire as his own. His voice immediately lowered and said obediently: "Your Majesty... Even if we don''t pay the reward, those people must work for the royal court; and your black wing army is very loyal to you and will never cause commotion due to lack of food."


    "Are you kidding?"


    The black dragon stared at him and spewed out two white Qi from his nose. A thunderous voice echoed in the king''s Court: "I ask how long you can support?"


    "This... Cannot be accurately estimated, but even so, it can only support half a year to a year."


    "Enough."


    Caesar snorted angrily, "well, that''s all for the time being. Now listen carefully. I''ll discuss other things with you."


    "It''s a great honor," Wren bowed.


    "Go and inform the supervisors and clan leaders of various regions that Wang Ting will open banks in the whole territory of Beidi."


    "Bank?" Raine repeated subconsciously, then searched in his long memory and found that there was no such word, so he raised his head and looked at the Black Dragon Emperor with puzzled eyes.


    "Let me tell you something about the caster team first. Listen carefully, because you are responsible for the next matters."


    Caesar said: "The Empire did spend a lot of money, but the money did not disappear. Instead, it went from the Treasury to the hands of the people and businessmen in the form of payment and purchase of goods. I once said - only the spent gold coins are meaningful. But their significance may end here, because most gold coins were hidden in human hands, turned into stones and buried in wine cellars In the underground cave, low taxes can''t make them return to the Empire, and that''s why you told me that the Treasury is in deficit. "


    "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"


    "I mean to find a way to get them back," Caesar said, then looked at the soul fire surging in Ryan''s eyes, and added, "of course, it''s not by plundering."


    "What should we do? Humans are misers. If we don''t use coercion, these damn guys will never voluntarily return these gold coins that belong to the Empire to the Empire." said the half Lich.


    "It was because people knew that gold coins were valuable that they were unwilling to return them to the Empire."


    Caesar said, "but if the Empire now tells them that as long as they lend gold coins to the Empire, there will be more gold coins belonging to them over time?"


    "I don''t understand, your majesty."


    Ryan doubted, "you mean that the Empire borrows money from the people and gives them more money later. But in this way, it will be more difficult for us to have the remaining gold coins."


    "No, once the Empire returns more money to the first person, more and more people will be willing to lend money to the Empire, and the Empire will only have more and more money," Caesar denied.


    "I see."


    Ryan nodded: "in my memory, no one has ever done such a thing. A businessman once did it in the central trading city. When the news spread, several big creditors suddenly asked the businessman to pay his debts, and he couldn''t get so much money at all. Then he was dismembered."


    Caesar was slightly surprised by his words. Unexpectedly, there were many smart people in Aladia. Black dragon paused, nodded and said: "Yes, but empire is different from businessmen. Empire is the guarantee for people''s survival. Empire is the master of residents'' lives, and empire is a reliable authority and guarantee. As long as the Empire prospers, even if it just maintains the prosperity on the surface, it is difficult to happen."


    "However, in order to prevent this from happening, some rules can be attached, such as no profit can be recovered within one month after borrowing, the profit increases every year after borrowing, recalculation of the profit after borrowing and lending, etc."


    Raine hesitated: "but no matter what you do, if the gold coins don''t increase in the end, this illusion will be punctured sooner or later, which may cause deeper unrest."


    "What if it really increases?" Caesar tilted his head: "we are not the only country in the world. The empire can do too many things with surplus money. How can it not increase?"


    "You are thoughtful."


    Rehn bowed down and asked the last question: "it''s just that the Empire borrowed money from the people. There has never been such a thing in ayladia since ancient times. Isn''t it a little bad to hear it?"


    "Then change its name."
