Originally, Jiang Chen's national treasury had 4.8 million taels of silver left, and with the 13.8 million taels of silver from this raid, it increased to 18.6 million taels of silver.
However, during this period, the salaries of the officials of the imperial court and the expenses of the royal family had to be deducted, leaving only 16.6 million taels in the national treasury.
After all, if he wanted to make the entire national machine work, he would have to spend a lot of money!
The key was that this was a state machine that operated without any policy benefits. If there were any policy benefits, the consumption would be even greater!
This was also why Jiang Chen could only wait until the country became rich before he could carry out welfare reforms on the country's education, medical, and other facilities!
However, Jiang Chen wasn't in a hurry. His main goal now was to use funds to upgrade buildings and develop the country!
Therefore, he opened the [Attribute Building] panel to check the construction progress of the building.
Two days had passed. The Martial Arts Pavilion, the Book Collection Pavilion, the Rites and Music Pavilion, and the Craftsman Workshop were all completed!
Of these buildings, three were buildings that increased Jiang Chen's attributes, and one was a building that increased the limit of craftsmen.
This made Jiang Chen curious. Was the building really that magical to increase attributes?
Therefore, Jiang Chen was full of curiosity and under Liu Zhuo's lead, they headed to the Great Ming Palace!
The Great Ming Palace was actually another imperial palace. It occupied a huge area and was connected to the current imperial palace!
After Jiang Chen stepped into the Great Ming Palace, he was immediately shocked by its majestic architecture. It was not inferior to the real inner court of the palace at all!
Here, Jiang Chen saw the workshop. In the inner palace of the Daming Palace, he also found the martial arts pavilion, library pavilion, and ritual and music building.
These three buildings were all in independent small gardens. They had a different mood!
Jiang Chen went to the martial arts pavilion first and entered.
The martial arts pavilion was very spacious, like a martial arts field. There was a huge arena in the middle, and on both sides were all kinds of training puppets, knives, spears, and sticks.
Even though Jiang Chen's martial arts value had reached the level of a peerless general, he had never practiced martial arts, so he didn't know any moves. He only took out his sword and spear symbolically and waved it at the training doll.
[Ding--]
From time to time, a clear notification sounded in Jiang Chen's mind.
[Congratulations to the host for completing daily training. 3 martial arts points]
At the same time, Jiang Chen felt a warm current and began to swim all over his body. It actually gave Jiang Chen a comfortable feeling, like he was sweating profusely after an intense exercise!
However, Jiang Chen only moved a little, he didn't expect it to really increase the attributes of his martial arts points!
A satisfied smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face as he went to the library and the music hall.
As expected, just like in the martial arts pavilion, as long as he went in to read a book or touch various musical instruments, he could increase his Literature Points and Talent Points, causing both attributes to increase by 3 points.
The only pity was that it could only be increased once a day.
However, it was better than nothing. Jiang Chen believed that with the continuous upgrade of the three towers, there should be unlimited points!
After some experience, Jiang Chen returned to Yangxin Palace and reopened the [Attribute Building] option!
Now, the four buildings had reached level 1, and the Great Ming Palace had also reached level 1. Jiang Chen decided to upgrade the Great Ming Palace first to unlock more building content!
Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't hesitate to call the Minister of Works again to recruit craftsmen.
Currently, there were 100,000 craftsmen. Jiang Chen recruited another 50,000 people, and he would have 150,000 craftsmen, reaching the upper limit of a Level 1 workshop!
[The conditions to upgrade the Great Ming Palace:
1. The basic amount is 7 million!]
2. No upper limit for Craftsmen!
3. Wood, 100,000!
4. 100,000 red bricks!
The total cost was 9.5 million taels!
For this amount, Jiang Chen could completely afford it!
Therefore, he decisively chose to build it and sent 100,000 craftsmen!
The construction speed of 100,000 craftsmen was also surprisingly fast. It only took one day to upgrade the Great Ming Palace!
As for the remaining 50,000 craftsmen, Jiang Chen naturally had plans to use them all to upgrade the workshop!
[Craftsman's Workshop upgrade requirements:
1. Base amount of 5 million!]
2. 103,000 for wood
and 100,000 for red bricks
were all within Jiang Chen's acceptable range. Compared to building the workshop, the conditions were basically the same, requiring a total of 7 million taels!
Therefore, Jiang Chen decisively clicked build!
The time required to upgrade the smithy was only one day!
As a result, the two upgrades cost a total of 16.5 million taels of gold. Jiang Chen's previously abundant treasury was now left with only 100,000 taels of gold!
Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh again. Money really couldn't be spent!
Fortunately, there was still a huge sum of money on the way. Otherwise, 100,000 taels would not be enough for the entire country to last for ten days!
After assigning the upgraded buildings, Jiang Chen didn't stop to rest. Instead, he mysteriously sent everyone away to do something big!
