Chapter Five: Mission Complete?

Hearing this, Eunuch Luo was the first to object.

The royal family needs to spread its branches, so it is necessary to have more contact with women. How can we just stop?

However, when he said the words, Xia Yan opposite him received a different look.

Seeing this look, even Eunuch Luo, who had lived in the palace for a long time, couldn't help but be stunned.

Xia Yan's momentum seems to be different from before...

Although Eunuch Luo couldn't tell the specific difference, he could still be sure that it was definitely different.

For the first time, Eunuch Luo was stunned in front of Xia Yan, and did not say a word of rejection until Xia Yan left.

While Eunuch Luo was in a daze, two young eunuchs were whispering to each other.

"Did you hear it?"

"Uh...I'm not deaf."

"His Majesty actually said that he would not turn over the cards. Where is the fuss coming from?"

"Is it possible that His Majesty is as broken as we are?"

The two young eunuchs talked more and more outrageously, and in the end, Eunuch Luo shouted angrily.

"What do you want to eat? Go to work for me!!"

After being yelled at, the two murmured quietly and had to leave silently.

After several people left one after another, Eunuch Luo still stood there and began to mutter in a low voice.

"Is it... really bad?..."

In the next few days, Xia Yan would go to court on time early in the morning, and after the next court, he would be carried to review the memorial.

Since Daxia's territory was relatively small, the number of memorials that needed to be approved was naturally limited.

As soon as the memorial review is completed, Xiao Haozi will submit countless books.

Most of these books were written by writers and thinkers of the Xia Dynasty, and they make people want to fall asleep just by looking at them.

As for Zhuge Liang, Xia Yan never saw him again.

According to Zhu Ming, Zhuge Liang was constantly explaining the tax rate issue to the public, and it was said that Zhuge Liang had already worked very hard on this matter.

Xia Yan just smiled softly.

I am a man who wants to go back. If you want to be a stumbling block for me, you must not encounter such troublesome things.

As another day came, Xia Yan felt happy.

Today is the system settlement day. According to the nature of the system, it should be officially settled after the dynasty is over.

Although there were some problems with his plan, the people did not rebel in the end and came to his court.

But one thing is certain, that is, the strength of Emperor Daxia's dynasty will definitely not grow.

If you can't complete the tasks of this cycle yourself, you will naturally not have new helpers.

However, with some curiosity, Xia Yan still looked at the panel.

【Dynasty: Daxia】

【Public support:*】

【economy:*】

【military:*】

【culture:*】

【territory:*】

[Dynasty Strength:*]

[The specific value can only be seen during the settlement period]

Not being able to see the specific situation, Xia Yan was still a little depressed.

It's just that I have arranged everything, and there is absolutely no possibility of anything going wrong.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan felt relieved and slowly prepared to settle the bill.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to court early! Come on, little Kaizi, help me carry His Majesty to the court!"

Xiao Kaizi on the side responded and hurried over to carry Xia Yan to the court hall.

Today, Zhuge Liang showed up. When he saw Zhuge Liang and Xia Yan, he had a wicked smile on his face and his words were full of ridicule.

"Prime Minister, you have become quite haggard after not seeing you for several days."

Zhuge Liang held up his feather fan and bowed, "It is the duty of a humble minister to solve your Majesty's problems."

"Then Prime Minister, what have you done these days?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I simply told the people in the city about Your Majesty's will. Then they enthusiastically paid taxes and handed over 95% of their grain income to the national treasury."

"……,speak English."

"Well, I lied to them that there was going to be a war and the country was short of food."

"In addition, I mobilized everyone a little later, so the people took out all their food..."

"……."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Xia Yan frowned slightly.

Why do you have a bad feeling?

But obviously, Zhuge Liang didn't notice this and continued to share.

"It is precisely because of this that the granaries are already full, and because of my mobilization, many young and middle-aged men have signed up to join the army. Now our army in Daxia has increased from 8,000 to 12,000."

"..., the number of troops has been increased by half?"

Something is wrong, something seems very wrong.

Also surprised were the veterans headed by Zhu Ming.

"Prime Minister Zhuge is really wonderful. Once he takes action, he can even solve the country's food shortage problem and greatly strengthen the military power of Daxia. It's like the Prime Minister is doing his best!"

"Not bad, not bad, he is simply a god!"

"Yes, yes, your Majesty is also a wise man. To be able to reuse someone like Prime Minister Zhuge is a wise king in this world!"

Although seven people only have eight teeth, they are still very comfortable blowing rainbow farts.

Although there are big problems with Xia Yan's policies, the results are still good after all.

With a good result, there is no need to be stingy with praise.

However, this rainbow fart didn't sound right to Xia Yan.

The granaries are full, the army has been expanded, and something really doesn't seem right.

At this moment, the sound of the system came slowly.

[Dududu, the task of putting people first (1) has been completed, the details will be displayed later]

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan rolled his eyes and almost lost his temper.

There is just a little difference between him and his having a cerebral hemorrhage and dying on the spot, completing the mission ahead of schedule.

"Poof! It's time to die!"

"Disperse...disperse the dynasty..."

"Wait a moment!"

Somewhat surprisingly, Zhuge Liang seemed to have not said enough and continued to ask for words. Seeing this, Xia Yan could only nod feebly. It seemed that the great master himself would not let him speak comfortably.

"Your Majesty, the granary is now full, and there is no place to put it if we continue to collect taxes. Therefore, I suggest that your Majesty temporarily stop such high taxes and restore the previous tax rate."

"It's up to you...it's up to you...just leave the court as soon as possible."

Love as you like, Xia Yan is too lazy to say anything anymore. Now he just wants to go back and be happy.

"Hey, Your Majesty seems to have been too tired recently. It's better to go back and take a rest."

Seeing Xia Yan like this, a group of old men knew that the opportunity to get off work early had come, and today's situation was really gratifying, so they all showed joy on their faces.

Eunuch Luo also had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he hurriedly announced "Retreat from the court."

After returning, since Xia Yan almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in the court today, Eunuch Luo gave Xia Yan permission to go back to the palace to rest early.

But some of the recipes are still as familiar as ever, and Xiao Haozi and Xiao Kaizi will be waiting at the door of Xia Yan's room.

Xia Yan had no doubt that both of them had their ears pressed against the door.

As long as he had the slightest intention to get up and get some fresh air, the two of them would rush in and tell him that he had to take care of his dragon body and rest.

Sometimes, Xia Yan wanted to kill Eunuch Luo directly, but this was not allowed by the system.

At the same time, after all, I am also a civilized person who came from the 21st century. How can I kill and kill at will?

In this regard, Xia Yan could only lie in bed boredly, waiting for the system to settle.
