Chapter 246: The empire’s wallet is in embarrassment, the prime minister reassures people
When Emperor Xue Ye said this, the commander of the Imperial Guard was still hesitant, but since this was Emperor Xue Ye's order, he certainly did not dare to disobey it.
After the commander of the Imperial Guard left, Emperor Xueye sat in his seat, lost in thought.
After a while, he finally sighed and asked someone to call the prime minister over.
This incident gave him a bit of a headache, so he decided to find the commander of the Guards and ask about it.
In fact, the prime minister never left, but temporarily went to other places in the palace. Now that he received the news that the emperor was looking for him, he quickly came to the front of Emperor Xue Ye.
"Your Majesty, do you have any business with me?"
When he said this, Emperor Xueye also told the prime minister what had just happened.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
After the prime minister heard this, his expression was also not good-looking. His eyes fell on Emperor Xueye and fell into deep thought.
Of course, although his mission is to solve the problem, he must first know what Emperor Xue Ye thinks.
If Emperor Xue Ye doesn't want to give money, this matter will not be easy to handle.
But Emperor Xue Ye also knew that these people were not easy to deal with. If he blindly gave them bad promises, they would lose their patience sooner or later.
So he also sighed: "Of course it would be best if I could not give money, but now it seems that it is not easy to do so."
The prime minister breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Emperor Xueye did not pose any problems to him.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, you can give them some cash, but if possible, it is best to deal with them severely on the battlefield. If they lose their combat effectiveness on the battlefield, the money will not be enough by then. Will it come back to us sooner or later?”
Of course the Prime Minister understood what Emperor Xue Ye meant.
Unlike the generals of the empire, although the soldiers of the empire were recruited from the civilian population, almost all the generals in the army were nobles.
After all, truly talented people, if they are of ordinary origin, will definitely not choose to join the army, but will choose to join other forces, so that they can have enough resources to improve their strength.
In addition, the masters of the empire must all come from noble families. After all, only nobles can provide them with sufficient resources.
Otherwise, if he is a child from a poor family, no matter how talented he is, on the one hand, he has no one to guide him, and on the other hand, there are not a few resources required for cultivation, so he will also bring a lot of trouble to the enemy.
But since these people are nobles, they must not be short of money.
Until now, the Tiandou Empire would not pay military expenses to the nobles, but only gave them rights, and these nobles also knew very well that if they could gain military exploits on the battlefield, they would be able to increase their family's power.
Therefore, for Emperor Xueye, it is a very painful thing for him to pay military expenses to the Dark Snow Army now.
The military expenditure he promised these people before was at least 2000 gold soul coins for each person. Five thousand people would be more than [-] million gold soul coins. Even for the empire's treasury, it was a large expenditure.
What's more important is that the Tiandou Empire is now in a critical situation. A large amount of food is needed every day in the direction of Tianluo Pass. Before the war started, Emperor Xueye turned a large amount of money into military expenses.
Taking out such a large amount of money now is definitely a big burden for Emperor Tiandou.
"In that case, let's give each of them half of their military expenses."
Emperor Xueye said helplessly.
Outside the palace, the general of the Forbidden Army had already arrived in front of An Xuejun, his eyes fell on everyone, and he also laughed at this time.
"Everyone, I have just raised your questions with His Majesty. Just rest assured, His Majesty will definitely give you an answer that satisfies you."
The Forbidden Army general said seriously to the Dark Snow Army in front of him, and everyone fell into deep thought at this time.
After everyone in the Dark Snow Army heard this, they all frowned. It could be seen from the expressions on their faces that they were obviously very suspicious of the Forbidden Army general's words.
"Hey, I said you're not planning to lie to us once, are you?"
A member of the Dark Snow Army felt very dissatisfied and asked the commander of the Forbidden Army quite angrily. Hearing this, the commander of the Forbidden Army waved his hand quickly: "Your Excellency must have misunderstood. Although only Your Majesty can tell you the specific answer, Your Majesty is sure I won’t trick you.”
"Okay, let's wait here. If His Majesty tries to trick us again later, we won't do it."
Everyone reached a consensus at this time.
Their status within the empire was not high, and the fundamental reason was that the upper echelons of the empire were targeting them.
Now they have to work for them again. If they can't even get money, then of course they have lost their confidence.
But at this moment, the Prime Minister had already walked out of the palace, his eyes fell on everyone, and he laughed.
"Everyone, I know you must have been waiting for a long time, so I have already told His Majesty that I am willing to give each of you half of the military expenses first. After everyone gets it, we will move on to the next step."
Hearing this, everyone present was still a little resentful, but now their resentment dissipated a lot. They all laughed at this time, and they turned around as fast as turning the pages of a book.
"Everyone, come with us. I have already sent people to withdraw money from the treasury. All the money that belongs to you will be sent to you soon."
After he finished speaking, he led everyone to the entrance of the palace.
Soon, carriages were driving towards this side. The so-called treasury was actually just a place specially used by Emperor Xueye to store money.
So withdrawing money from the treasury is of course very fast.
Seeing the cartloads of gold coins pulled on these carriages, the Dark Snow Army's eyes widened.
Although they have good abilities and can get some jobs to help others, on the one hand, they themselves spend money lavishly, and on the other hand, because many people look down on them, there are very few people who are willing to ask them to do things, so they actually Lived very poor.
Now seeing so much money all at once, of course I became excited.
Seeing that some of them were even breathing heavily, the Prime Minister immediately guessed their thoughts and said with a serious face: "Everyone, all of your money is here. Next, please follow the current rules." Order, take turns to come forward and take your share.”
Although these people are not good and law-abiding citizens, when the matter in front of them is linked to their interests, they immediately become the defenders of order.
