Now in this chaotic war, increasing military pay by 50% or even 100% is a normal thing.
So, merely considering the standing army, the military expenditure of Zhou Country is already around 90 million silver tales.
However, besides the standing army, Zhou Country has also conscripted around a million civilian workers.
Even if these civilian workers don't receive any wages, you still have to provide them with weapons and daily food, right?
To support this million people for a year, it will cost at least 10 million silver tales.
Furthermore, there are the expenses of the Zhou Country court, the expenses of the local government offices, the expenses of the Zhou royal family, and various other extra expenses...
Frankly speaking, the annual fiscal expenditure of Zhou Country is definitely more than 120 million silver tales.
Compared to the annual income of 100 million silver tales for Zhou Country, there is a direct annual deficit of 20 million silver tales.
Of course.
