And, as time went by, and the whaling industry continued to flourish and develop.

These two costs will continue to decrease.

Therefore, four years ago, Liu Che's defense force only amounted to more than 2,000 troops, plus the official expenses of Xinhua City, which amounted to nearly 10 million a year.

But now, Xinhua City no longer needs state support.

He has been able to support himself and even used part of the proceeds to build various infrastructure.

This is not just because of economic prosperity and increased fiscal and taxation.

There are also factors that keep costs down.

Now, Liu Che is planning to expand the Huyi Army into a standing army of more than 20,000 people.

However, its maintenance costs have dropped to a level lower than those in the mainland. The reduction in glue and paint costs has exceeded the increase in costs caused by the transshipment of grain and grass.

Moreover, the local social economy in Anton continues to develop. One day, this place will no longer need financial favors and subsidies from the central government, and may even be able to feed back to the central government.

Moreover, this time is already approaching.

As the deadline for the first batch of settlement regiments approaches, according to the system, the settlement regiments will become units of counties and counties, and the army will leave.

The new reclamation group will continue to move forward.

The people of the Han Dynasty will cover all areas suitable for growing crops with fields within a dozen years.

In the foreseeable future, the entire territory of Andong will become a land of plenty with millions of people and millions of hectares of fertile land.

It became the fourth granary of the Han Empire after Sanhe, Guanzhong and Shu counties.

Of course, the reduction in military and maintenance expenses is not the reason for Liu Che not to collect money from Zhenfan, South Korea, etc.

The Han army was stationed locally to protect and maintain the property and throne of these kings.

Is it true that they don't shed some blood?

"What I mean for the military expenses of the Anton Army and the maintenance expenses of the government offices is that the central government will pay 30%, the Anton Protectorate will provide 20% of the expenses, and the rest will be shared by all the ministers!" Liu Che said.

Han Wang Xizhun and Zhenfan Wang Liu Zhonghan looked at each other.

The total annual cost is 70 million, and they need to bear 35 million.

On average, it is about a few million per person (because there are also Xianbei and Wu Heng, who may also join the group).

If you calculate it this way, it is actually not an exaggeration.

How many millions?

It's drizzling.

Now, even King Buyeo can earn millions every year by exporting ginseng and dongju!

The export of slaves and people amounted to tens of millions!

The most exaggerated one is South Korea, which maintains a force of more than 30,000 "dispatch slave workers" in Andong all year round, and earns tens of millions of dollars from them!

Liu Che's next sentence completely dispelled their doubts in this regard.

"I will regard this matter as a criterion for whether the ministers are true concubines of the Han Dynasty!" Liu Che said with his hands behind his hands: "And, it will also be regarded as a prerequisite for future favors and benefits!"

‘Real Hanchen concubine’?

This is really fatal!

Because its opposite is a thief.

If you are not a concubine, you are a thief!

Thief, besides death, is there any other way?

Under the butcher's knife of imperialism, do you still want to take a chance?

The words that followed made all the big dog owners feel excited.

Gaen and Guangyi?

It means giving the land and the people!

Just like the current Han family's grace order.

The princes received new fiefdoms equivalent to their fiefdoms one after another.

"Do we also have this opportunity?" Han Wang Qizhun and Zhenfan Wang Liu Zhonghan looked at each other, and then they both said loudly at the same time: "Your Majesty, I am your majesty's eagle dog, the concubine of the Han Dynasty, and the military expenses of the Andong Army. I have no shirking responsibility.

!”

Then, the two of them stared at each other like cross-eyes.

The reason why King Han Chun Zhun has the confidence to afford more than 30 million yuan in annual expenses is because he has two money trees.

The first one is his son-in-law Liu Ming. This son-in-law treats his father-in-law well and hands over many infrastructure projects and development work in North Korea to his father-in-law's "dispatch team."

Every year, 70% of South Korea's foreign exchange earnings from dispatching slave labor is provided by North Korea.

The second one is the Japanese slaves.

To be honest, when it comes to catching Japanese slaves, the Koreans have more experience.

Although they were rowing a small sampan, they were familiar with the situation and knew where to catch the Japanese slaves!

Moreover, the Japanese slaves caught by Chen Jiao were basically not exported.

Therefore, the biggest Japanese slave trader in Andong Market was definitely him.

Last year, South Korea exported more than 2,000 Japanese slaves.

Export earnings exceeded 30 million!

This year, Han Wang Chuzhun has leased ten stern ships from the building ship Yamen, plus three decommissioned building ships.

Koreans are already planning to play a big game.

This year Zhen Zhun has already shouted the slogan of arresting another 5,000 Japanese slaves.

Because the supply of Japanese slaves exceeds the demand!

Because of its hard-working, obedient and hard-working nature, it is widely praised by users.

And its non-picky eating characteristics make customers even more excited.

Now, there are even orders from Qilu to Han Wang Qizhun.

For Han Wang Chun Zhun and his Korea, the biggest problem now is actually nothing else.

But, how long can we capture the Japanese slaves on the Japanese slave islands?

How long can such good days last?

No one has any bottom!

But it is foreseeable that sooner or later, the Japanese slaves will be captured less and less, and eventually there will be none.

Without this gold mine, where will South Korea go?

Therefore, South Korea has now embarked on a path of catching Japanese slaves while actively looking for "future sustainable development."

Now in Korea, some nobles are beginning to think about ways to cultivate and train their own slaves to replace the status of Japanese slaves.

It's just that this road is very difficult.

Moreover, cultivating it yourself is very expensive.

But by chance, the Koreans discovered another way to earn foreign exchange through exports: learning from the practices of the distant Bo country and cultivating and training female slaves.

It's true that in terms of quality and characteristics, Korean slaves are not as good as the hard-working, brave, obedient and sensible Japanese slaves.

but……

Korean girls are better than Japanese slaves!

Moreover, Korean girls have weak personalities, are petite and cute, and have fairer skin.

It is a potential object that can be developed.

Moreover, it can also be packaged as a ‘lady from the homeland’.

This is much higher than the Bo slaves who came from the remote mountains and remote areas of Southwest Yi.

This price will naturally increase as the tide goes up.

Nowadays, a high-quality Bo slave costs at least 100,000 yuan in Chang'an.

Some top quality items can be fetched up to a hundred gold.

There was even a time when a prince spent hundreds of gold to buy back a Bo slave.

These situations make the nobles in Korea feel itchy.

What does it mean to sell a slave?

A dispatch slave only earns a few hundred dollars a year. If God bless this person and he dies, after deducting various expenses, he will receive a compensation of two to three thousand dollars.

The Bo slaves were different.
