Chapter 373 The wallet is empty again.
The treasury is becoming increasingly full.
Compared with the Colorful Kingdom, which has existed for a long time, only seven out of ten dollars are spent effectively, and a lot of it is absorbed by corrupt officials.
Under the supervision of Arden, the harsh and greedy Dragon Lord, very few officials dared to commit corruption and risk being beheaded or even having their clan exterminated.
Out of ten dollars, unless there are some wrong expenditures, basically, nine dollars can be guaranteed to be well spent.
In this case, it's pretty good.
After all, it has been passed down from one level to another, and it is already very good to achieve this. This is because the country was founded not long ago and there was a powerful king who was always keeping pressure on it, which made it possible to achieve such terrifying efficiency.
The Silver Dragon Kingdom ruled by Arden spends money efficiently and effectively. If any kingdom or even empire knew about it, they would definitely be drooling with envy.
Apart from being equally enterprising, the very young Magic Machinery Empire may be slightly better than other empires. Which other advanced empire is free from corruption and greed?
The older a country is, the more likely it is that the younger generations will not have the same tenacious spirit and faith as their predecessors. Things like corruption are inevitable, and they become increasingly difficult to solve.
The only thing he could do was shock therapy, treating the symptoms without any prior treatment. Gradually, his whole body was completely infected with the terminal illness and he was doomed to die.
Once you reach the late stage, you either have to scrape your bones to cure the poison, or you have a 50% chance of dying and a 50% chance of being resurrected, and be reborn from the ashes.
The only option is shock therapy, which will last for a period of time and will lead to certain death.
With the treasury full, there was now a great deal of newly conquered territory.
The 1 million people in the Seven-Colored Province, plus the crazy influx of immigrants, are a huge challenge for the current Silver Dragon Kingdom.
2 million people make Arden and the Silver Dragon Kingdom overwhelmed.
It took three years to finally stabilize.
During this period, in order to settle the new population, they distributed land to them and spent a considerable amount of wealth.
Arden's original treasury of the Silver Dragon Kingdom, plus all the wealth of the newly acquired Seven-Colored Kingdom.
A lot of consumption has also been done. From the previous stunning situation to now, it can only be considered slightly wealthy.
It can be said that the consumption is staggering, but the results are also remarkable.
Money that is not spent is not real wealth.
For Arden now, he values other wealth more than the most superficial gold coins and silver.
In order to obtain the real "wealth" in his mind, after obtaining a considerable profit, he did not plan to keep the money in the treasury, but to spend it on practical things.
At Arden's request,
The Minister of the Interior of the Ministry of the Interior. The abyss elf Weiya was transferred away by Arden and turned from a maid into a top noble above all others.
A new education plan was launched. The head maid was assigned to her by the Colorful Kingdom. She was once a princess and now a female legend, the fifth princess Janna.
Half of the 2 million people were citizens of the newly occupied destroyed kingdom, and a quarter were newcomers from other kingdoms and immigrants from other places.
Their sense of national identity is extremely low, and apart from slowly allowing them to experience the benefits of the Silver Dragon Kingdom over time, the only thing we can do is to strengthen the education of young people.
We must make them accept the values taught by the Silver Dragon Kingdom and complete their assimilation.
Therefore, schools that impart knowledge, teach professional skills and train them into professionals have sprung up across the five provinces of the Silver Dragon Kingdom.
This also results in a wealth consumption rate that is even more terrifying than burning money.
The wealth that Yaden had originally accumulated in the national treasury had shrunk a lot after his efforts, but it was still quite abundant, the wealth he had scraped from the Colorful Kingdom.
It only supported one-third of this great plan before completely disappearing without a trace.
Arden sadly discovered that he was even poorer than before.
And even if this plan was implemented and he really filled the original hole later, he would still have to provide a huge amount of money permanently for education and school expenses every year!
Arden racked his brains and began to think about what method and where he could make a lot of quick money!
The current thriving economy can guarantee a stable amount of education funding every year in the future, but if Arden wants to fill the hole now, he has to find another way.
-------------------------------------
Nimantan Islands.
This large island is desolate and lacks indigenous people.
The area alone exceeds 10 million square kilometers. Although it is desolate, some parts of the land can be considered fertile.
During the Age of Discovery, fleets from various countries came here, competing with each other and occupying different places.
The Hattings Empire took advantage of this and ran this place as one of its most important colonies.
However, later on, because it was too close to the Demon Fish Empire and the Shark Empire in the Far South Ocean.
Therefore, the actions of the Hettings Empire immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the two higher empires.
Other humans are nothing special in the eyes of these two sea empires.
Just like if a monkey jumps at your doorstep, you may not care, but if a human who looks almost the same as you with a gun in his hand appears at your doorstep, how can you not be afraid?
Because of an unprecedented tidal wave, everything that the Hastings Empire had spent a hundred years building on the island near the coast was completely destroyed.
The remaining forces were simply not enough to establish an advantage here, and in an instant this place became a chaotic place.
The two major sea empires, which were not interested in the land, had no interest in targeting the humans on the islands who were not worth mentioning in their eyes.
So the situation on the island continued like this.
The remaining power of the Hettings Empire still allows them to establish a separatist regime, but it is not enough for them to rule the entire island. The Hettings Empire also understands that if they continue to expand their power here, they will definitely provoke resistance from the two major sea empires again.
This is their bottom line.
So they took the initiative to give up. After all, they could not fight against the two empires. Occupying this large island was enough to give the Hettings Empire a strategic advantage over the two empires. In terms of terrain, this was the bridgehead for attacking the two empires.
This is where it becomes useless.
It is a pity that it is tasteless.
The colonists from across the ocean, as well as the defeated royal families and nobles from other continents, set their sights on this piece of land that the Hettings Empire could not obtain and that the two major sea empires were not interested in.
Over the course of a thousand years, although 30% of the land remained undeveloped, many kingdoms had been established and they survived in the cracks.
During the hundreds of years that spanned the old calendar and the new calendar, the Age of Discovery, these numerous and chaotic countries, like the Finks Federation on the Finks continent, also developed rapidly.
It’s just that there are two major sea empires around, and although the Hettings Empire cannot take this place, it doesn’t mean that they are willing to give up here and allow a big kingdom to emerge that rules the entire Nimantan Islands and then compete with them for food in the world.
There was a precedent of the Finks Federation. They had spread all kinds of ideas here in a mess beforehand, provoking conflicts between kingdoms.
Although the Hettings Empire acts as a referee and cannot manage the entire continent, it can still be considered the boss.
So the situation here is quite chaotic, with various countries mixed together.
Even evil gods appear from time to time, and various dark cultists and dark races can openly rule a lot of land.
And now somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
Suddenly, a large area of darkness emerged!
A vortex of shadow appeared above a wasteland, making the surrounding creatures feel terrified and uneasy.
The dead silence and the black vortex emitting a devouring, ominous aura seemed to reflect the deepest fear in the hearts of all living beings.
