"We have to pay a total of 500,000 spiritual crystals taxes for the taxes assigned this year!" the minister replied.
"Then how many ten thousand spirit crystals can we produce in our Fenglan Kingdom in one year?" Yan Gui asked repeatedly.
"The harvest has not been good over the years, and the whole country has less than 1.5 million spiritual crystals!" The minister replied again.
Hearing this, Yan Guiyi frowned even tighter, and even Su Junbao took a breath!
"After counting, I have to hand over one-third of the harvest of a vassal state. This is just a part that is handed over to the central empire. If other taxes can be added, I think less than one-third of the harvest can be kept in the hands of the people." Su Junbao, who had been silent, asked rarely.
"The national teacher is wise, and that's why over the years, our Fenglan Kingdom has become increasingly embarrassed! Now we don't know where to get money. Moreover, this is not only our Fenglan Kingdom, but also probably the most troublesome thing for most of the vassal states in the Northern Region Mangyuan every year." The minister replied.
The other ministers also smiled bitterly, and Su Junbao held Yanzhi and frowned without saying a word.
He can beat people into meat with one punch, but he can't help a vassal state throw a lot of money with one punch.
"this……?"
Yan Guiyi seemed a little at a loss now. After all, he was seven years old and had just taken power. Where did he come into contact with these things on weekdays? He was simply a rookie in governing the country.
"So what should I do?" Yan Guiyi looked at Su Junbao. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he could only ask the minister again.
"If it really doesn't work, I can only use the reserves of the treasury and make plans after this year!" the minister replied.
"No!"
Meng Tiande was the first to stand up to oppose: "The reserves of the national treasury are used to pay military pay. If they are taken to pay taxes, what should we do about the military pay next year? If the morale of the military is unstable, the country will be in chaos, Your Majesty!"
"Paying taxes is the most urgent task now. General Meng, do you know what the consequences will be if you fail to complete the tax and offend Hanhai City? At that time, you and I may not be able to protect your lives!" The minister did not give in.
The quarrel between several important officials and no results were achieved!
"His Majesty!"
Just as they were arguing between them and Yan Gui was helpless, a soft voice came out, and it turned out that Li Lu walked forward and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, the criminal girl has a plan. I don't know whether to talk or not?" Li Lu asked.
"Say!" Yan Guiyi stared at her.
"Taxes are a major event for the country and cannot be delayed at all. However, the people are suffering and cannot be confiscated, which is a helpless move. However, when Lin Tong's family rebelled, they have been wealthy families for many years. They will be able to obtain a lot of money and scavenging their property on weekdays, and they will be used as a supplementary tax." Li Lu said softly.
"I'm afraid they are not the only ones who are plundering people's wealth and ointment, right?" A minister beside him snorted coldly.
"Mr. Wei!"
Li Lu turned around and looked at the other party: "What our Li family does is a legitimate business, and every penny can be seen. If you don't believe it, just go and investigate. Of course, our Li family is guilty this time, and he is not concerned about the grace of His Majesty. The little woman is willing to share the worries of state affairs. There are shortcomings. The Li family is willing to try every means to make up for it and make up for it. But I don't know if Lord Wei has this better strategy? Why not say it!"
Li Lu said neither humble nor arrogantly, but the minister snorted coldly. Five hundred thousand spirit crystals were not a small number, so what could he do? And even if he went to investigate, what could he find out with the Li family's methods?
Yan Guiyi looked at Su Junbao again, and nodded when he saw him, and said, "Okay, just do what you said. If this matter is done, I may let you replace the Li family's original position in the court in the future and become the Minister of Finance of Fenglan Country, my Fenglan Country!"
Yan Guiyi said that this woman is not only scheming, but also very cruel and ruthless, and uses any means to achieve her goal. However, Yan Guiyi has to admit that sometimes, she works, really works!
He also remembered Su Junbao's words. As a king of a country, what he needed was someone who could solve his problems for himself, and it had nothing to do with his preferences. Otherwise, he would be overwhelmed by the monarch. As for character, Yan Guiyi would not consider it for the time being, it depends on whether he could control her.
"There is one more thing!" At this time, a senior minister next to him stood up.
"What else?" Yan Guiyi asked, on the first day of courtship, what happened one by one.
"It's not a big deal, it's about Guodu Academy. Your Majesty, the snow has begun to melt now, and the admission of Guodu Academy for five years is also coming. In previous years, students from remote areas had special personnel sent by the court to pick them up and drop them off. These things should have been decided some time ago, but unfortunately they have been delayed. Now you have paid off your Majesty's approval of the decision!" The minister.
"That's it!"
Yan Gui nodded, and Su Junbao next to him also smiled. He was a member of Guodu Academy, and too many things happened, but he forgot about it a little. Spring is coming in a blink of an eye.
"Now Meng Tiande is a general, so you can discuss with him to do it. What happened in the past year and what happened this year!" Yan Guiyi said.
"I accept the order!" Meng Tiande stood up and said.
The minister also retreated with satisfaction.
After getting off the court, Yan Guiyi returned to the room and sat on the chair and sighed like a little adult!
"What, my mother's little majesty, now you are the king of a country. You have the final say here. No one will make trouble for you anymore. If you want to deal with anyone, you will deal with anyone. Why are you sighing?" Xue Mingfei came over and said with a joke.
"My mother, I didn't know that the firewood and rice were expensive before. I didn't expect that our Fenglan Kingdom is so poor now! It's really hard to be a king!"
Yan Guiyi mentioned what happened in the court today. After saying that, he sighed again, looking sad.
"That's the case now!"
He spread his hands and said, Li Lu's solution might be able to solve the urgent problem, but it is not a long-term solution after all, and he still has to find a way to provide sustainable development in Fenglan Country.
"You must first govern people. You have to forget what your elder brother taught me!"
Concubine Xue Ming smiled and said, "As a monarch, you don't need to know everything, and you don't have to do everything by yourself. You can find someone who knows how to do it for you. You just need to take care of them well. Do everything by yourself, and you won't be annoyed and exhausted!"
It is easy to say but difficult to do if you understand! Of course, Yan Guiyi also understands these principles, so where can I find them in a short time!
"Take it slow!"
Concubine Xue Ming only said at the end, after all, Feng Languo had just returned to their hands, and the days ahead are still long, at least now there is no need to worry about his life!
"When I say that, what about the national teacher? I never saw him again after going to court!" Concubine Xue suddenly remembered.
"He has gone back to meet Sister Yuenu and the others, and they haven't met for a long time!" Yan Guiyi said.
"So!" A trace of loss flashed in Xue Mingfei's eyes.
