Chapter 726 You don't understand
Chapter 726: Even if I tell you, you don’t understand.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you.
like……
Not really!
Even after the second tax increase, the taxes in the second year were lower than before.
"Let me ask you again, assuming that the tax is set at the highest level and the people harvest as much food as they plant, will the national treasury be full?"
The ministers were silent.
Although no one answered, they all knew in their hearts that the answer was no.
Once the common people harvest as much food as they plant, they will have problems with survival. It would be strange if the Nanjiang Kingdom does not move and is in chaos. How can the national treasury be filled?
"Sir, the example you gave is just an extreme situation." He Yu said with a frown.
Lu Yunluo stretched and moved again, then looked at Prime Minister He and asked, "I wonder if Prime Minister He has ever thought that when the value of this tax exceeds a certain amount, the results will gradually go to extremes?
?”
"And has the current tax value of Nanjiang Kingdom exceeded this critical point?"
"If this critical point has been reached, adding more will only be counterproductive."
He Yu was slightly startled, obviously she didn't expect that this saintly lady actually spoke clearly and clearly, it was not that she didn't understand anything as she imagined.
"But the national treasury is empty, and all departments of the imperial court need money. If we don't increase taxes, where will the money come from?" He Yu asked with a frown.
She naturally understands these principles.
But in this current situation, there is no other solution except raising taxes.
Lu Yunluo shook her head, "Raising taxes blindly is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. It cannot really solve the problem. If you want to fill the national treasury, it ultimately depends on the economy."
economy?
He Yu frowned. This was the first time she heard this word.
Not only Prime Minister He, but also other ministers also had doubts on their faces.
Apparently they didn't understand what this meant.
Just when they were about to listen to the saintly lady's opinions again, they saw Lu Yunluo glance at them lightly, "Forget it, you don't understand even after I told you, just leave the court!"
The ministers were slightly stunned.
Shouldn't the Holy Lady explain it to them and then come up with a solution?
Leaving now?
"Retreat!"
As the eunuch's voice sounded, the morning quarrel that had been quarreling all morning ended amid everyone's questions.
Had a meeting all morning.
Lu Yunluo's stomach was already growling with hunger.
The first thing I did when I returned to the Holy Lady's Mansion was to cook.
However, when she saw the two vegetable dishes on the table that were oily and waterless, she remembered that she was also short of money recently, so she told Shen's mother to save money.
Lu Yunluo took two mouthfuls of rice, but she really couldn't eat it.
There is no way to continue like this!
She still had to find a way to buy some shops in Nanjiang Kingdom to maintain the expenses of the Holy Lady's Mansion.
At this time, a beautiful and melodious sound of the piano came from outside the house.
The sound of the piano is gentle, lingering and melodious.
Lu Yunluo followed the music and walked out.
Soon we came to a garden in the mansion.
I saw a man in azure blue clothes sitting next to a dark red lyre, playing the instrument with great concentration.
There were many spectators around.
After seeing Lu Yunluo coming, they all saluted Lu Yunluo.
"I've met my lord."
Lu Yunluo raised her hand, "Everyone, get up."
The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the man playing the piano stood up and bowed like Lu Yunluo, "My lord."
"You play the piano well."
Lu Yunluo walked over with a smile on her face.
The man in blue blushed.
You must know that since their male favorites entered the house, this saintly lady has rarely appeared in front of them.
Today, I actually praised him in public.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
The other male favorites surrounding him suddenly looked at the man in blue with envy.
It seems that this dear friend is going to be favored too.
Lu Yunluo glanced at the brand-new xylophone and asked, "How much did you buy this piano?"
The man in blue was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "More than two hundred taels..."
"I am busy farming in the cold palace"
