The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 42

After a large-scale national war, especially a war of foreign nomads, it often takes decades to recuperate.

The most obvious is the Sui Dynasty, which was the worst dynasty. In the hands of Yang Guang, he forcibly played himself out. He went to Goguryeo three times, but he just didn't fight, and the loss was too great.

However, for Ren Tian, ​​the legion is a must, and he also thinks that the number of soldiers in the new country is too small. A country can have three legions at the beginning, and every county needs to garrison soldiers. not enough.

Therefore, regarding the expenditure of the national treasury, Nintendo can only try its best to find a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. If there is no way to reduce expenditure, then it can only increase revenue as much as possible.

"At the end of the day, we still need to increase taxes."

Ren Tian rubbed his head. During this period of time, he has also been busy with the construction of Heping County in Nanxian County. The national income level can only be improved when the infrastructure projects are completed. Ren Tian has not yet discovered the rest of the methods for increasing income.

"The surplus in the national treasury can last for about half a year, and the tax revenue should improve in the first half of the year."

While Ren Tian was looking at the attribute panel, the messenger sent by Tian Dan came.

The little eunuch next to him came in to report, and Ren Tian was shocked immediately, with a happy expression on his face: "Hurry up and announce."

The so-called general is outside, and the emperor's orders are not affected. Except for the personal conquest of the emperor, the player as the emperor has no control over the commander-in-chief and generals. This also makes many players worried. What if they lose the battle?
Ren Tian has been patient these days and has been waiting for news from Tian Dan. After all, he is only dealing with a group of horse thieves, so it is not so easy to lose, right?
And now, Tian Dan's message came.

The soldier who sent the order walked quickly into the palace, walked quickly with his head down, and came not far in front, knelt down on half his knees, and then handed over a folder in his hand.

The little eunuch brought the things up, and suddenly, a virtual box appeared in front of him, and inside the box were all the scenes that Tian Dan had experienced before: from defending Mi County, repelling the attack of horse thieves, and then designing to lure horse thieves, Let them enter Calabash Valley, almost wipe out the horse thieves, and finally attack Qinglongzhai and uproot Qinglongzhai. All previous experiences are presented in this box.

After Ren Tian finished reading it, he also had a look of great joy in his eyes.

"Tian Dan is indeed Tian Dan, awesome!"

No matter how you say it, Tian Dan is a famous general in history. Even though Le Yi's rating is not high, he must have military ability. Before Zhuge Liang left his army, he often compared himself to "Guan Zhongle" Yi", Le Yi's military ability is also very powerful.

Ren Tian's spirit was a little lifted, he carefully watched all the pictures again, as if he personally led this army to destroy Qinglongzhai.

At the same time, the system sounded.

"Ding, Xinguo eliminated Qinglongzhai, is the news announced now?"

Announcing the news will increase the prestige of Xinguo. Of course, players can also postpone the announcement for up to three days. If they do not announce it after three days, the news will automatically spread.

"Announce."

Ren Tian didn't hesitate, and just announced it.

Suddenly, the system ding-dong sounded.

"Xingguo destroys the A-level bandit stronghold and gets 50 reputation points as a reward. The news will gradually spread to the rest of the mainland."

After waiting for a long time, Ren Tian was taken aback, this is gone?

Shaking the map, Ren Tian looked at the soldier: "I see, you go down first."

The soldier answered yes and stepped back.

After Ren Tian got up, the system sounded: "Would you like to go out to meet Commander Tian Dan in person? Choosing Yes will increase Tian Dan's loyalty, boost morale, and cost 10 gold at the same time."

In ancient times, when a general won a battle, the emperor could go out of the city gate to greet him. There were also a series of banquets and welcome ceremonies. Of course, these all cost money.

Ren Tian's mouth twitched when he heard it, and it costs money, so does this ceremony also cost money?
However, Ren Tian is not stingy, he directly chose yes, loyalty is hard to improve, it is okay to use this opportunity to brush up loyalty.

……

Day two.

Tian Dan came back with the soldiers of the Xin Kingdom, and they lined up neatly. Tian Dan in front was still riding a horse. From a distance, he could see Ren Tian waiting there with a group of officials in front of the city gate.

"Commander, His Majesty actually came out of the city to meet him."

Wang Xuan next to him also had a touch of emotion in his eyes.

Tian Dan on the horse was stunned for a moment, then quickly got off the horse and walked forward with Wang Xuan and several commanders.

Before they even got close, Tian Dan knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists at each other: "General, I will see you at last, Your Majesty."

"Please come quickly, please come quickly," Ren Tian was extremely happy, "I am very happy, Commander Tian is indeed worthy of his reputation."

"Your Majesty, I have a report on the situation of the war, and the spoils of war will be presented."

"Don't worry, I have prepared a celebration banquet for you, we will talk about it later at the celebration banquet."

"Yes."

Tian Dan, Wang Xuan, and the soldiers behind them all followed Ren Tian into the city.

And on the streets in the city, many people are looking forward to it.

"Why did His Majesty leave the city today? He brought all the court officials with him?"

"I heard that the battle was won, His Majesty is happy."

"Really?"

"That's natural."

A few children stood on both sides of the street, looking at the soldiers who walked in with arrogance, envious for a while.

"In the future, I will also join the army and serve the country."

In a certain teahouse, a middle-aged man was sitting at the window, watching the New National Legion walking in, he couldn't help smiling.

"Master, who did this new country win the battle with?"

"It should be a horse thief. I really didn't expect that this Xinguo could wipe out Qinglongzhai. This army has some abilities."

Servant Ma Huang shook his head: "What is this, Han..."

"Okay, it's all gone, why mention the past."

The middle-aged man looked at the soldiers passing by one by one below, and saw that their morale was high and full of emotions. Everyone had a smile on their faces, and he was also moved.

"The morale of this unit is very high. If it develops properly, it may not be unable to become an elite division."

The soldiers who entered the city, led by several thousand captains, circled the city. After being praised and cheered by the people, they returned to their garrison.

There, the chef of the imperial dining room had already prepared a banquet.

Tian Danze, Wang Xuan and others were taken into the palace and held a banquet in the main hall. In addition to them, the court officials from before were also there.

"Okay, all my loves, take your seats."

Ren Tian sat on the dragon chair with a happy face.

Tian Dan, Wang Xuan and others thanked each other, took their seats and sat down, and after they were seated, Ren Tian said: "This time Commander Tian has lived up to everyone's expectations, he has broken through Qinglong Village, and solved our new country's worries. .”

Tian Dan took the wine, and the rest of the ministers also raised their glasses to congratulate.

"Commander Tian is extremely powerful, and the revitalization of our new country is expected."

"Congratulations, Commander Tian."

After some politeness, Tian Dan drank the wine, and then said: "Your Majesty, the attack on Qinglongzhai has gained a lot this time."

"Oh, what did you gain?"
