I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

Chapter 692 Reconstruction Corps, Financial Shortage

Draven took all the troops to the other side of the river to attack the Dragon Kingdom army.

Now it has been ambushed and almost wiped out.

The army of the Dragon Empire may go south at any time.

With the remaining more than 1000 people, how could it be possible to stop them?
But these officers did not dare to take the initiative to retreat, so they could only find Samira.

After hearing that Samira was going to retreat, they were also secretly happy.

"Then do we want to burn all the baggage?"

The previous officer tentatively said.

Samira thought to herself, there is enough food and grass in the camp to feed an army of [-] for a month.

If it is burned, it is too wasteful, it is better to just keep it.

At that time, after His Majesty crosses the river, I will be considered a great achievement.

Thinking of this, he cursed and said,

"Burn that fart. If you want to stay here, I don't care."

After saying that, he walked out in big strides.

A group of Guishuang officers look at me and I look at you, none of them want to stay and take charge of burning food, grass and supplies.

After all, the army of the Dragon Empire is likely to cross the river.

Thinking of this, they all followed Samira and ran outside!
……

Watching the military camp behind him gradually go away, Samira, who was sitting in the carriage, leaned comfortably on the cushion, with a smug smile on the corner of her mouth.

Just after agreeing to join Cao Mao a few days ago, he was entrusted with a series of important tasks.

The first task was to persuade Delevingne, who was stationed on the south bank of the Amu Darya River, to lead the army to take the initiative to cross the river.

Although the Amu Darya River is not as spacious as the Yangtze River, it can be considered a natural danger.

Besides, there is Draven's Third Corps stationed on the other side of the river. If they keep attacking by force, they may pay a heavy price.

So Cao Mao signaled Samira to find a way to lure Draven to attack.

Although Samira is weak, she is very smart.

Relying on his understanding of Delevingne's aggressive character, and through wrong information, he successfully completed what Cao Mao ordered.

This time the Third Corps was destroyed, and he was the first to contribute.

Presumably, after taking Peshawar in the future, His Majesty the God Emperor will not treat him badly.

Samira couldn't help feeling elated.

But if he was happy, he still didn't relax his vigilance.

After all, Cao Mao has another task, which is to weaken Guishuang's strength by inciting Guishuang's nobles to oppose Bodiao.

……

After several days of long journey, Samira finally returned to Bashawa again.

He didn't dare to neglect, and went directly to the palace to meet the emperor Bodiao.

"...Your Majesty, this is what I saw and heard along the way..."

Samira's head was so low that she didn't dare to raise her head to meet Bo Tiao's eyes.

There was a dead silence in the hall.

I saw Bodiao's face was livid, and his hands were tightly pinching the armrest.

It took a long time to squeeze out a word from between the teeth,

"Draven, this bastard..."

Before setting off, he repeatedly told Delevingne not to attack rashly, but to wait for the rendezvous of the Eighth and Ninth Corps.

In the end, this bastard dared to cross the Amu Darya alone to attack the army of the Dragon Kingdom!
This is a good thing, the Third Corps was defeated in vain, and the Dragon Empire easily crossed the Amu Darya River.

The hundreds of kilometers from the Amu Darya to Peshawar are all endless plains, and there is no danger at all!
What's more, the successive defeats of Swain, Darius, and Draven have dealt a fatal blow to the morale of the empire!

Excluding the Tenth Corps, which is responsible for maintaining law and order in various places, there are only six major Corps left in Guishuang.

These six major corps also need to be wary of Anxi in the west. In southern India, only the three major corps can be squeezed out to deal with the Dragon Kingdom army!
How should we fight the next battle?
Thinking of this, Bo Tiao felt quite a headache.

If Delevingne was in front of him, he would have liked to dismantle it to pieces in order to vent his anger.

"Your Majesty calm down, all this is my fault."

Samira said with a face full of self-blame.

Botiao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said soothingly,

"Samila doesn't have to blame herself, it has nothing to do with you, it's just that Delevingne is too impulsive."

It's not that Bo Tiao didn't suspect Samira.

But from the officers who fled back, Samira only reported what he saw and heard to Delevingne, and he also dissuaded Delevingne.

So the doubts about Samira were dispelled.

Besides, behind Samira is the noble group of the Guishuang Empire, even if Bodiao wants to touch him, he should think twice.

So instead of punishing him, Bo Tiao had to comfort him.

Although Bodiao was extremely angry at Draven's fiasco, he still had to consider how to deal with the Dragon Empire.

Bo Tiao pondered for a long time, and then said,

"An order was sent to the Eighth and Ninth Corps, ordering them to come directly to Peshawar without going to the Amu Darya."

"Send an official document to Ezreal, the consul of the Tenth Corps, asking him to reorganize the troops and rush to Peshawar within ten days."

"In addition, immediately recruit men from all over the place to form three corps again!"

The first two commands are naturally no problem.

But as soon as the third order was issued, the Minister of Finance couldn't help but stand up,
"Your Majesty, our treasury doesn't have that much money."

Although the Guishuang Empire has a vast territory, a large population, and rich resources, but due to years of wars and bad weather in recent years, the treasury is extremely empty.

It is not easy to barely support on weekdays.

If you want to re-form three corps, the cost of weapons and armor alone is astronomical.

Not to mention the need to pay the soldiers, as well as the usual food and grass.

Even if the national treasury is drained to the bottom, it won't be able to raise that much money!

Bo Tiao frowned slightly,

"Then tax the people again."

"Your Majesty, we have raised taxes three times this year."

The Minister of Finance smiled wryly,
"If taxes are raised, I'm afraid those people will cause trouble."

"They dare!"

Bo Tiao's eyes were wide open, but he did not issue an order to collect taxes.

After all, there are foreign enemies stalking at this moment, if it really arouses public anger, I'm afraid it will be disintegrated internally.

He let out a long sigh,
"You all go down first, I will be alone for a while."

A group of ministers bowed and saluted, and left separately.

Samira deliberately lagged behind by half a step, and turned back after seeing that everyone had walked out of the hall.
"His Majesty."

"Samira?"

Bo Tiao looked at him displeased,
"Do I want to be quiet?"

"Your Majesty, I have a way to help His Majesty solve financial problems."

Samira laughed.

"Oh?"

Bo Tiao's eyes lit up, and he urged,
"Come quickly."

"Your Majesty, although those common people have no money and cannot collect taxes from them, Your Majesty can collect taxes from those nobles!"

Samira said slowly with a smile.

"Taxing the nobility?"

The wave tone is a bit unexpected.

He did not expect that Samira, who was a member of the noble group, would make such a suggestion.
