I was reversed by the school belle

Therefore, the expenses of the empire have to be paid by her internal treasury.

Therefore, the holy crystal in her inner vault cannot last for three years.

It can't even be supported for a year, so within a year, can the army complete the counter-insurgency?

Almost impossible.

After all, it was not one or two states that rebelled this time, but thousands of states rose up together. Even if one state was suppressed in one day, three years would not be enough time.

"Prime Minister, what's going on at the Holy Crystal Mine?"

Gathering her thoughts, Lingzi asked while flipping through other information.

"Your Majesty, all the holy crystal mines have been guarded by masters and heavy soldiers, and the mining speed has been increased!" said the prime minister.

"How many holy crystals can you provide each year?" the empress asked again.

The prime minister reported: "According to my statistics, 120 billion holy crystals should be mined in the next three months. After three months, the speed can be maintained at [-] times. After one year, it can be guaranteed to double!"

Hearing this, the Empress fell into deep thought.

Today, the annual military expenditure of the more than 5000 million elite army is more than 50 billion holy crystals.

In fact, this military expenditure is not too much.

But the bigger expenses are the city guards in various places. Before the phoenix coins collapsed, the military salaries were provided by the local prefectures, but now, they all need the empire to allocate funds.

Generally speaking, there are around [-] city guards in a county, [-] in a county, and a million in a prefecture.

The Fengling Empire has a total of more than 300 states, and now more than half of them have fallen, but there are still more than 4000 city guards in the remaining states that need to be paid by the empire. The total number of city guards in more than 4000 state capitals has reached more than 400 With 4000 million people, even if a city guard only receives ten Saint Crystals as military pay, it would still have to pay more than [-] billion Saint Crystals.

Not to mention the city guards in the county and the county.

Therefore, even if the Holy Crystal Mine produces hundreds of billions of Holy Crystals annually, it cannot support the huge military expenditure.

Chapter 1419 Death Will

In addition, the total number of county guards and city guards exceeds the city guards of the state capital. Therefore, more than trillions of holy crystals are needed just to pay the city guards of thousands of states.

If the rebels are suppressed and the state capital is taken back in the future, more military pay will be required.

At that time, where would she go to find so many holy crystals?

Thinking of this, the empress Lingzi felt a headache, looked at the prime minister and said, "Can you expand the scale of mining of the holy crystal?"

"Your Majesty, it's difficult!"

The prime minister shook his head: "However, I have ordered people to collect new holy crystal mines with all their strength. Once new holy crystal mines are found, the production can be increased!"

"Increase production? Hehe!"

The empress laughed at herself: "The current military expenditures cost at least trillions of holy crystals every year. Even if the output is doubled, it will not help!"

The prime minister was silent, and thought to himself, yes, even if we find a new holy crystal mine, it will not quench our thirst, not to mention that the empire is in chaos now, and most of the civil and military officials have selfish motives.

Don't think the empress is stupid, she has been the empress for so many years, and she has no loyal confidant, so she already knows about the fact that the major forces in the empire and the mysterious foreign forces shorted the phoenix coins.

But behind these forces, stood the civil and military officials in the court.

The Empress really wanted to deal with these officials and kill them all.

But she couldn't, this short sale of phoenix coins involved a lot, and more than [-]% of the officials were involved. If she really wanted to do something, I'm afraid that as soon as the news got out, all the officials would turn against each other after hearing the news.

At that time, the entire Fengling Empire will collapse ahead of time, and even the empress will not be able to protect herself. After all, the most loyal general to her, Zhu Shou, has already fallen.

Therefore, the current empress can only pretend to be stupid.

She pretended to be ignorant, so she could feel how painful the empress was.

"Prime Minister, tell me, can we restore the reputation of Fengbi?" The Empress' voice sounded again, pulling the Prime Minister out of his contemplation.

"Your Majesty, this is very difficult!"

The prime minister smiled wryly and said that she had thought about this issue as well, and even thought about replacing the Holy Crystal currency system with another system, but she had not been able to find a suitable replacement.

"Your Majesty, urgent report at the border!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the imperial study room.

"Send it in!"

The Empress felt ominous.

Soon, a piece of information was delivered to the Empress's desk, and after reading it, her whole face became as cold as frost.

"Your Majesty, could it be the Sky Empire...?"

Prime Minister Cang Xueyu asked worriedly.

Empress Lingzi nodded, her voice was unusually calm: "The Sky Empire sent 5000 million troops to invade from Nanyan Continent, and now, it has conquered more than half of Nanyan Continent!"

Without waiting for the Prime Minister to speak, the Empress continued: "Prime Minister, tell me, can our Fengling Empire be saved?"

Apparently, the Sky Empire knew that there were only 5000 million elites left in the Fengling Empire.

If these 5000 million people were sent to fight at the border, no one would be able to suppress the rebellion within the Fengling Empire. As long as the army of the Sky Empire held back the 5000 million Fengling army, the interior of the Fengling Empire would continue to deteriorate and become corrupt.

If the empress hadn't sent those 5000 million people to the border, the city guards alone would have been unable to resist their invasion.

There was also news from the Holy Alliance.

The Six Kings Shengbang is about to ascend the throne and become the new leader.

Waiting for him to rectify the forces under his command, will he sit back and watch such a great opportunity?

At that time, it will be the Holy Alliance and the Sky Empire attacking the Fengling Empire.

Therefore, no matter what you do, the Fengling Empire is not far from being destroyed.

Thinking of this, Empress Lingzi felt somewhat regretful. If she hadn't insisted on attacking the Holy Alliance, how could such a thing have happened?

Of course, what she hates even more is the mysterious force that shorted Fengcoin.

If Fengbi hadn't collapsed, the Fengling Empire wouldn't have fallen into this situation either.

Facing the empress' question, the prime minister fell silent again.

But the empress seemed to have forgotten her question just now, and said to herself: "Since I took over the empire from my mother, I have been working hard. I am afraid that I will fail my mother's expectations. A powerful empire, and destroying the Holy Alliance to avenge my mother. For this ideal, I gave up a lot. I have not even stepped out of the imperial capital for so many years. Apart from dealing with state affairs, I am practicing. I am really tired. Almost forget, how many years have I not slept once!"
