Chapter 2126 For the Motherland

    When he first received the financial expenditure, Pompianus, who had been working as a financial officer for more than ten years, almost gave up his job. Commodus was a fool, and Severus was the prodigal.  However, out of love for his motherland, Pompianus took the job. After all, he had been a financial officer for more than ten years. He knew best how important this position was. He could barely control himself while sitting in this position.  Due to some vicious expenditures, if he steps down, the savings of the Five Sage Emperors, which originally took thirteen years to be spent, may be spent in less than ten years.  Therefore, although Pompianus wanted to strangle Severus to death, he had to cooperate with Severus and continue to go on.  "That is to say, because of my ever-increasing number of soldiers, even if you work hard to maintain the national economy every year, you still need to use the national treasury savings?" Severus also has a big head, but on the one hand, he cannot reduce the salary of the soldiers, and on the other hand, he cannot  It is impossible to reduce the number of troops.  The former is because Severus has served as a soldier and understands the importance of salary; the latter is related to the strength of the country. The Five Wise Emperors are so awesome that Trajan almost exploded and did not win the battle with Great Britain, but Severus did.  , isn¡¯t it just because we have more troops and stronger strength?  "Yes, and based on what I see now, and the enthusiasm of Roman citizens for military service, I think this number will continue to expand, so the country's financial expenditure on military must be reduced!" Pompianus pressed  He frowned and resisted the urge to turn around and leave. He didn't want to take the blame at all, but out of love for his country, he had to persevere.  "No, as a witness, you can clearly feel how outstanding the Five Wise Emperors are. They have never been able to set foot in Great Britain throughout their lives. Caesar is the founder of the Roman Empire and a stronger consul than the Five Wise Emperors, but  He is also unable to defeat the three barbarians," Severus said with great solemnity as he looked at Pompianus.  Speaking of which, in the past few years since Severus ascended the throne, he has chased the North, wiped out domestic rebellions, and defeated the enemies around Rome. Now he has completely defeated the three barbarians who have been fighting with the Romans for hundreds of years, and has completely destroyed the territory of the Roman Empire.  Advancing to Great Britain, the radiation range even reached the Baltic Sea. This feat was enough to eclipse the Five Wise Emperors.  After Severus defeated the Roman Empire¡¯s biggest enemy, Severus¡¯ achievements shocked the Romans themselves. The achievements that the predecessors had been unable to complete were completed by Severus in one fell swoop. He was like a great emperor!  "" Pompianus' face turned dark at this moment. To be honest, if Severus hadn't been so awesome and had indeed accomplished some terrible feats since the beginning of the Roman Empire in the past few years, he would have wanted to turn around and leave right now.  .  "However, if this continues, the country will collapse due to fiscal deficit in at most thirteen years, and all your current efforts will be in vain." Pompianus calmed down for a while, and then said soft words.  Pompianus, who experienced the end of the Five Wise Emperors, admitted that Severus was indeed an excellent emperor, and even more terrifying than the Five Wise Emperors in terms of development. If it is possible for Rome to end and rest its endless wars, then  Severus was most likely the emperor who did this.  "Then don't let him collapse!" Severus said resolutely.  Pompianus just wants to slam the table in front of Severus in the face at this moment. You only need to say a word, but the entire country¡¯s financial problem needs to be solved by me. Can you understand the pain in my heart?  If the Roman Empire collapsed due to financial problems, I would be nailed to a pillar of shame and ridiculed for thousands of years. Do you understand my psychology?  "I was a little impatient." Severus probably saw the financial officer's face and apologized after a while.  "Forget it, it would be great if an apology can solve the problem." Pompianus said with a headache, then silently opened the notebook made of papyrus, turned to the page of his financial calculations, opened it, and showed it to Seth  Viru.  Severus is a military emperor, and he is almost completely confused about government affairs, so I didn¡¯t understand what it meant after reading it for a while.  "This is the plan I made. It can increase the fiscal revenue by about fifteen points. Thanks to you, although you have made a mess of Rome's finances, it is difficult for other emperors to expand territory and stabilize the situation around Rome.  I can't compare to you," Pompianus explained resentfully.  Although I don¡¯t like Severus¡¯s haphazard financial model, for the sake of the Roman Empire, I still help clean up the mess for the sake of the motherland.  "This is my plan, does Christianity know?" Pompianus sighed and explained, not for power or the emperor, but for this country.  "Oh, I know, I remember that we have wiped out them several times, but why are they resurrecting again? Aren't those people in the Judean Province experts in dealing with this?" Severus said that they have experience in this.  "Oh, the president whose name was erasedDuring the period of ?, weren't we in turmoil? Christianity seized the opportunity to spread its religion rapidly at the bottom, and many barbarians were influenced by them. Previously, we were limited by the domestic situation and did not manage it. I think we can start now.  Pompianus said calmly, "Capture those hundreds of thousands of people and let them atone for their sins. They are guilty anyway."  " "We can use some bloody management methods in the newly attached place. Since they are guilty, let them come to this place to atone for their sins.  Pompianus said inhumanely. "Won't they join forces to cause trouble?"  "Severus frowned and said. "We will also move people from the provinces of Judea and Egypt. Since they all like religion, I think heretics are more interesting to them than pagans.  Pompianus curled his lips and said, "We can tell them that if they produce more, we can help them establish the Holy See in other places."  " "This seems to make sense.  "Severus lowered his head and thought for a long time. Combining the facts he saw, for example, the Romans' attack on Christianity was just convenient, while the Jewish province regarded it as a great cause. Inexplicably, he felt that what the other party said made sense. "But we  Helping them establish the Holy See is a bit much.  "Although Severus thinks that Pompianus's plan makes sense, this kind of promise is a bit bad. "It's okay, I didn't say where to establish the Holy See for them.  Pompianus said without any bottom line, "Besides, we are both the writers and the regulators of the rules. We have the final say on who loses and who wins. If we give them a little hope, they can work harder."  " "This is a very good method. In this case, we can indeed obtain a large amount of output.  "Severu nodded and said. "The second is what we are doing now, which is plundering, but it is not plundering small tribes, but plundering powerful countries, such as Anxi.  "Pompianus said with a sneer. "I can do this without you telling me.  "Severu waved his hand and said. After this wave is done, he will look back. If Ganassis has not been done yet, he will lead his troops over and kill An Xi in one wave. "No, I mean looting, not simply  By conquest, I mean to loot the entire country of Parthia, including their nobles and civilians. Since we don't need that place, why not loot it all!  "Pompianus said with a sneer, fully intending to stop eating after finishing this meal. "This" Severus was a little embarrassed. This was a bit embarrassing, but considering his own financial situation,  It¡¯s better to be embarrassed than the collapse of the country. ¡°No problem. If Gansis doesn¡¯t do it cleanly, I will do it again. I will do it again, from the royal family to the seven nobles, to all kinds of small nobles.  "Severu adjusted his mentality and said there was no problem. "In fact, the most pitfall of the war between Rome and Parthia is here. The Romans captured Parthian nobles and allowed Parthia to redeem them. At the level of the seven nobles, the Romans captured  Come on, even when it is clear that you have the ability to completely destroy the opponent, you still allow the other party to redeem people according to the regulations. Pompianus means that there is no need to abide by these. Anyway, depending on your posture, the emperor, this wave of peace will definitely destroy the country.  , then why should we pay attention to the rules? The rules are for others to see. There are others around us? There are no more. We are the only ones left now. Stop pretending and loot everything from top to bottom.  Regardless of the nobles and commoners, they are all slaves if caught. All valuable things in the country are packed away. I estimate that after the looting of Parthia, our Roman Empire's finances will be stable for at least twenty years.  Time, when the time comes, whether it is disarmament or universal retirement, elevating the status of soldiers while improving the qualities required by soldiers will naturally reduce the number of troops, or imply that the country's finances are poor and require concessions from the soldiers, or explicitly say that the Roman Empire  The surrounding situation is excellent, and there is no need for too many troops to maintain the country's situation. In short, there are many ways to solve the problem with a buffer of twenty years!  If we play this way, Rome can safely fall from power this time. ¡°In short, in my opinion, there are only a few ways to solve it. Religious sinners open up wasteland and farm, and Celtic slaves forge standard weapons. In short, what we have to do now is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.  , before solving the Parthian problem, don¡¯t continue to expand your troops!  "Pompianus warned again and again that this was the solution he could think of to solve the problem. After all, in addition to the Eagle Banner Legion, Rome also had barbarians and auxiliaries. Although the salary of the barbarians and auxiliaries was  It's not high, but it can't stand up to the large number, and the salary of some high-quality barbarian troops, such as the Teutonic ax thrower, is almost the same as that of the double-talented elite army like the Fifth Skylark. After all, it is a double sky!Even the barbarians cannot treat the elites too badly!
