Toast to the bright moon

Traversing the Nine Provinces in the Immortal Cultivation World, Lu Yuan possessed the Dao Fruit of longevity, an eternal lifespan. If he were careful, he could anticipate the Immortal Method.
This was indeed a beautiful thing.
However, he was born during the Age of Dharma Decline, with spiritual energy depleted and the Immortal Method difficult. The great path was elusive.
Even worse, the Immortal Cultivation World of the Nine Provinces was on the verge of collapse, and the four poles were about to fall, marking the end of an era.
If that was the case, why shouldn't a man take up his sword and conquer fifty states across the mountains?
To survive in the Age of Dharma Decline, Lu Yuan cultivated the ancient Way of Control Pneuma, established an Immortal Dynasty, and gathered Qi Luck. He brought order to the Nine Provinces and peace to the four seas.
Gathering strength from across the world, he ascended to immortality step by step.
In ancient times, there were three Human Emperors: Hua Guang, Xia Xi, and Hao Tian.
Who is the Human Emperor now?
It is Emperor Chu Luyuan.

To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

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.
