Chapter 566 Fiscal Crisis II

At the beginning of winter, the weather was dry and cold, which seemed to be a blessing to the Longhui Territory. This year's snow did not arrive as expected.

"Maybe it will snow tomorrow, Mr. Paro, hasn't the resettlement of the residents been completed yet?" Xiuyin became more and more worried as he watched the weather get colder day by day.

Once it snows, it will directly slow down the construction of settlements. At that time, the resettlement of the residents will be even more of a problem.

what to do?

When Xiuyin felt a little crazy and uncomfortable, Lietli walked in and said, "Lord."

Seeing it was Lietli, Xiuyin's face lit up with joy, "How's it going? Have you come up with a plan?"

"Don't worry, sir. According to the intelligence, there are still more than 2,000 households that have not yet been resettled. Sir Paro has already made an idea."

"What's the idea?" Xiu Yin felt that this was really good news these days.

"Using those greenhouses, Mr. Palau said that most of the people in the territory can be temporarily placed in those greenhouses to spend the winter!"

Huh!

Xiu Yin was startled at first, but his face immediately relaxed and turned into a look of surprise.

"There is no other way!"

In fact, in order to build those greenhouses, Xiu Yin ordered a considerable amount of labor to be invested. Otherwise, the resettlement of the people would be almost completed by this time.

but……

The greenhouse is an important source of food for the Longhui leaders to survive in winter, so Xiuyin did not hesitate to spend a large amount of soul crystals as the heating energy for the greenhouse.

"Finally...I can let go of an important thing on my mind..."

Just as Xiu Yin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he realized that Lietli seemed to have something else to report, and he seemed to have a bad premonition in his heart.

"Lietli, is there anything else?" Xiuyin sincerely hoped that nothing would cause him any more headaches, especially from Paro. As long as news came or Paro came in person, it would definitely be bad. "Is there another problem? Is it Paro?”

"No, no." Lietli presented a report to Xiu Yin, "It was given to the lord by the Minister of Finance."

"Liner?" Xiuyin was startled. Could it be that there was something wrong with Liner again?

After the establishment of the Longhui Territory, Xiuyin appointed Reiner as the Minister of Finance, taking charge of all the financial powers of the Longhui Territory. Xiuyin was assured of Reiner, and Reiner's overall planning skills were sufficient for this position.

After taking a look at the report, Xiu Yin's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Lord?" Lietli saw Xiu Yin's reaction and knew that the situation seemed a bit complicated.

Xiu Yin sighed, "I didn't expect that there would be such a huge deficit!"

When Lietli heard this, he was confused and said, "Deficit?"

Deficit is also a new term brought into this world by Xiu Yin. Of course, Lietli has never heard of it.

Writing financial problems in red is not only eye-catching, but also serves as a warning.

The list in Xiu Yin's hand was all red.

Unbelievable...

Xiuyin asked Lietli to step back first, and he needed to think about it.

The deficit should be a recent thing, that is, after the public examination.

After the public examination, a large number of grassroots officials appeared in the territory, as well as a large number of soldiers who joined the army, and a large number of new students entered the knight school.

Officials need to receive salaries, and there are also related benefits, such as housing allocation and placement of relatives.

After all, officials are only a minority, and the largest base is the reorganized soldiers.

A warrior needs a pair of armor, a crossbow that Xiuyin requires, and a weapon that he is proficient in.

The food for soldiers is also special. In order to improve their combat power, they undergo very rigorous training, so the food is made of highly nutritious ingredients, which Xiu Yin personally requested.

The quality of the warriors of the Longhui Territory is more than a little bit worse than that of the Qiyao Family. If there are any more differences in these details, if they face the Qiyao Family's army in the future, the result of the Longhui Territory can only be a defeat.

However, Xiu Yin was a little worried about this, because according to the food rationing standards he set for soldiers, this was the most sumptuous troop meal on the entire continent.

There is also the Knight School, which is the future of the wyrmprint. Maybe there will be wyrmprint paladins there? This is all possible, although the probability is almost zero.

But there is always hope.

It is also this hope that allows Xiuyin to take better care of the knight school, including training facilities, the supply of soul crystals, and high-quality nutritious food...

After Xiu Yin personally and forcefully stipulated these things, the deficits on hand now were caused by the public examination in just half a month.

"It's terrible!"

Xiu Yin shouted in his heart.

It had only been ten days, but the expenses were so huge.

Xiu Yin originally thought that he could survive until the second year, but he didn't expect that winter would just start, and he would start to run into a deficit.

It’s easy to analyze the reason, that is, Navaran’s expenses are too high, and the income...

Having lost the mines in the Morrowind Territory and some important granary towns on the Haier Plain, Xiuyin, who had just arrived in Navaran, was not only unable to obtain all the resource output, but also had to subsidize some local indigenous people or villagers for the sake of people's hearts.

"Oops, I came here to carry out administrative and military transformation of the city, but I ignored the lack of resource income from the original territory after the transfer..."

As the political and economic center of the original Kingdom of Navarre, although it was baptized by the remnants of the army, its geographical advantage is still much richer than that of the Haider Plain. In particular, some villages and towns in the Kinki region have not been destroyed. Unexpectedly, the food supply to the city is still normal. If the current population of Navaran is not too large, these villages and towns alone can be enough for the city of Navaran.

However, the huge population base made the towns around Navaran overwhelmed. Xiuyin, who had no choice but to set up a large number of greenhouses, also spent a lot of money to purchase them from other towns in the Kingdom of Starlight.

This is also an aspect of fiscal deficit.

But the most important thing is not the expenses, but the lack of income!

Navarre, Xiuyin's current fiefdom in the dragon's glory lacks enough mineral veins!

Trade with the Kingdom of Freidham was also interrupted due to the transfer of fiefdoms. All previous trade routes were under the control of the royal family of the Kingdom of Starlight. Although most of the manpower was withdrawn, the mineral veins in the original Morrowind Town were considered fell into the hands of the royal family.

Fortunately, Xiuyin had previously transferred most of the ore from the gold-bearing vein to Navaran, but because the greenhouse required a large amount of soul crystals, the cost was about the same.

How to do it……

Xiuyin has surveyed the terrain of the Navaran fiefdom and repeatedly confirmed with Alice. There are only three mineral veins. It was indeed a very rich existence for the original Morrowind Territory, but for the current one with dozens of Longhui with a population of 10,000 is still far from enough.
