I read this for help:

I feel like one of his biggest mistakes was his spending, especially military spending. He waged many military campaigns to extended his empire at the cost of the people. The treasury was drained and the people had high taxes.

Hope this helps ☺

Answer 3

So, to answer the question, he could have spent less on military forces.
