When I first received fiscal expenditure, Pompianus, who had been a financial official for more than ten years, almost quit. Commod is a ghost, and Severu is the prodigal son.

However, out of love for the motherland, Pompianus gritted the bullet and took on this 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 stop some vicious expenses when he sat in this position. If he stepped down, the savings of the Five Sages, which could only be spent in thirteen years, would probably not be spent in ten years.

Therefore, although Pompianus wanted to strangle Severus to death, he had to cooperate with Severus and continue to walk on the ground with his teeth.

"That is to say, because my troops are expanding now, even if you work hard to maintain the national economy every year, you still need to use the national treasury savings?" Severu was also very imposing, but on the one hand, he could not reduce the salary of soldiers, and on the other hand, he could not reduce the number of soldiers.

The former is because Severu has served as a soldier and understands the importance of salary. The latter is related to the strength of the country. The Five Sages are so arrogant that Trajan is almost invincible and has not won the victory in Great Britain. However, Severu has fought. Isn’t it because he has more troops and stronger strength?

"Yes, and based on what I see now, and the fanaticism of Roman citizens about military service, I think this number will continue to expand, so the country's fiscal expenditure on military affairs must be reduced!" Pompianus pressed his eyebrows and resisted the urge to turn his head and leave. He did not want to take the blame at all, but out of his love for the country, he had to persevere.

"No, you can clearly feel how outstanding the Five Sages are, as witnesses. They failed to set foot in Great Britain throughout their lives. Caesar was the founder of the Roman Empire and a stronger consul than the Five Sages. But he was also unable to defeat the three barbarians." Severus said solemnly at Pompianus.

Speaking of which, in the past few years since Severu ascended the throne, he has chased the north, wiped out domestic rebellions, defeated the enemies around Rome, and has completely defeated the three major barbarians who had fought with the Romans for hundreds of years, pushing the territory of the Roman Empire to Great Britain, and even spreading the Baltic Sea. This achievement is enough to make the Five Sages lose their beauty.

After Severus defeated the biggest enemy of the Roman Empire, resting in peace, Severus' achievements shocked the Romans themselves. The achievements that predecessors could not accomplish were completed by Severus once they were completed, and they were simply the great emperor!

"..." Pompianus's face turned dark at this moment. To be honest, if Severus hadn't been too arrogant, he had indeed done a very terrifying achievement since the Roman imperial system in recent years, and he would have wanted to turn around and leave now.

"But if this continues, the country will collapse due to the fiscal deficit for at most thirteen years, and everything you have worked hard at this moment will be in vain." Pompianus calmed down for a while, but still said soft words.

Pompianus, who had experienced the end of the Five Sages, admitted that Severus was indeed an excellent emperor, and was even more terrifying than the Five Sages in pioneering. If Rome could end and rest in peace, then Severus was most likely the emperor who did this.

"Then don't let him collapse!" Severu said resolutely.

Pompianus just wanted to put the table in front of him on Severus' face. You only need to say one thing, but I have to solve the financial problems of the whole country. Can you understand the pain in my heart? If the Roman Empire collapsed due to financial problems, I would be nailed to the pillar of shame and be ridiculed for thousands of years. Do you understand my psychology?

"I'm a little more impatient." Severu probably saw the face of the financial officer and apologized after a while.

"Forget it, if the apology can solve the problem," Pompianus said with a headache, then silently opened the notebook made by papyrus, turned to the page of his own accounting finance, opened it, and displayed it to Severus.

Severu was a military emperor and was almost a mess with government affairs, so after reading it for a while, he couldn't understand what it meant.

"This is my plan, which can increase fiscal revenue by about fifteen points. I thank you for your blessing. Although you have made a mess of Roman finances, it is difficult for other emperors to compete with you in expanding territory and stabilizing the surrounding situation in Rome." Pompianus explained resentfully.

Although I don’t like Severu’s random financial model, for the sake of the Roman Empire, I should help clean up the mess for the sake of the motherland.

"This is my plan, does Christianity know?" Pompianus sighed and explained, "For power, not for the emperor, just for this country."

"Oh, I know, I remember that we have wiped them out several times, but why are they rekindled? Aren't those people in the Jewish province experts to deal with this?" Severu said that they have experience.

"Oh, during the rule of the man whose name was erased, weren't we instill? Christianity seized the opportunity to preach quickly at the bottom of the country. Many barbarians were influenced by them. We had no management before due to the domestic situation. I think we can take action now." Pompianus said calmly, "Take the hundreds of thousands of people down and let them atone for their sins. Anyway, they are also guilty."

"We can use some bloody management methods in the new place of dependence. Since they are guilty, let them come to this place to atone for their sins." Pompianus said inhumanely.

"Will they join forces to make trouble?" Severu said with a frown.

"We moved people from the Jewish province and from the Egyptian province. Since they all like religion, I think heretics are more interesting to them than pagans." Pompianus said with a lip silence. "We can tell them that we can help them build a Vatican in other places and other places."

"This seems to make sense." Severu lowered his head and thought for a long time. Based on the facts he saw, for example, the Romans only had a good time to fight Christianity, while the Judean Province regarded it as a great cause, and inexplicably felt that what the other party said was very reasonable.

"But we'll have passed the process of helping them establish a Vatican." Although Seville thought Pompianus's plan was very reasonable, this kind of promise was a bit bad.

"It's okay, I didn't say where to establish a Vatican for them." Pompianus said without any bottom line. "Besides, we are the writers of rules and the regulators of rules. We have the final say who loses and wins. Give them some hope so that they can work harder."

"This is a very good way. In this way, we can indeed get a lot of output." Seville nodded and said.

"The second one is what we are doing now, that is, plundering, but not plundering small tribes, but plundering powerful countries, such as resting in peace." Pompianus said with a sneer.

"I will do this without saying you." Severu waved his hand and said. After this wave was solved, he looked back. If Garnasis had not done it, he would lead his troops to kill Anxie in one wave.

"No, I mean looting, not simply conquest, I mean looting the entire country of Anji, even their nobles and their civilians once. Since we don't need that place, why not loot it!" Pompianus said with a sneer, completely intending to stop eating after eating this meal.

"This..." Severu was a little embarrassed, it was a bit embarrassing, but thinking about his own financial situation, it was better to be embarrassed than the collapse of the country.

"No problem. If Garnasis doesn't do it cleanly, I will do it again. From the royal family to the seven nobles, to all kinds of small nobles, I will do this." Severu adjusted his mentality and said there was no problem.

In fact, the most pitfall in the war between Rome and Anxue was here. The Romans captured Anxue's nobles and allowed Anxue to redeem people. The Romans caught the seven nobles at this level, and even allowed the other party to redeem people according to regulations when they clearly had the ability to destroy the other party.

Pompianus means that there is no need to abide by these things. Anyway, depending on your position, this wave of rest will definitely destroy the country. Why should we pay attention to the rules? The rules are for others to see, and there are others next to us?

No more, now you are only your own people, don’t pretend. Just loot all the rest of the peace. No matter how noble and civilians are, they will be slaves if they are caught, and all the valuable things in the whole country will be packed and taken away. I guess after looting the rest of the peace, the finances of our Roman Empire will be stable for at least twenty years.

With twenty years of buffering time, whether it is disarmament or universal discharge, and improving the quality required by soldiers while elevating the status of soldiers, it will naturally reduce the number of troops, or imply that the country's finances are poor and soldiers need to make concessions. Or it may be said that the situation around the Roman Empire is very good and there is no need for too much military force to maintain the national situation.

In short, with twenty years of buffering, there are many ways to solve the problem!

After hearing this, Severus said deeply that ginger is still so hot. If she really plays like this, Rome can step down safely in this wave.

"In short, in my opinion, there are only a few solutions. Religious sinners open up land and farm, and Celtic slaves cast standard weapons. In short, what we need to do now is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Before solving the rest problem, don't continue to expand your troops!" Pompianus warned repeatedly that this was already the solution he could think of.

After all, in addition to the Eagle Banner Legion, there were also barbarians and auxiliary soldiers. Although the salary of barbarians and auxiliary soldiers was not high, they could not withstand the number of them. Moreover, some high-quality barbarians, such as the Teutonic Axe-throwing hands, were almost the same as the double-talent elite legion like the Fifth Skylark!
