Douluo: Hell starts, ask to marry Bibi Dong

Chapter 415
But the two dragon princes in the original book were not so lucky, maybe it was to confuse the situation in the Heaven Dou Empire, or it was out of evil intentions.

They were still killed.

This also allowed Xue Qinghe to succeed in assuming the throne, becoming the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

But the disadvantages are not small, because he is the biggest beneficiary after the death of the two princes, including Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng, many people in Tiandou Empire suspect that he did it.

And he himself was like mud falling off his crotch, whether it was shit or shit, he couldn't tell at all.

But he also had doubts.

That is this Huang Shu Xue Xing who is on good terms with the Soul Master Guild and who can be said to have all-hands-on-the-eyes.

He has been secretly thinking about supporting Xue Beng to take over the position.

Once he falls, the beneficiaries are him and Xue Beng.

This also caused Xue Qinghe, Xue Xing, and Xue Beng to be suspicious of each other.

Emperor Xue Ye said angrily: "How can I not be impulsive. Wuhun Palace's ambitions are obvious. It's about to pull shit on our Tiandou Empire. The widow has decided to expand the army by 200 million in two years to resist Wuhun temple."

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of everyone present changed drastically, and the minister in charge of the Tiandou Empire's finances immediately stood up to object, "It's absolutely impossible, Your Majesty, the million-dollar army supported by the empire now almost accounts for the empire's annual financial revenue." One-third of the total, plus the annual subsidy entrusted to the Spirit Hall to pay the soul masters, and the empire's various expenses, it really can't afford to support a 300 million army."

After the words fell, another minister stood up, with a round face and mustache, and looked about in his early 40s.

His name is He Shen, and he is a "talent" discovered by Emperor Xue Ye from the people ten years ago. Although he is not a soul master, he knows how to please Xue Ye. Whenever he encounters a problem, he can solve it for Emperor Xue Ye.

Take the first national policy "debate silver" system he proposed as an example, it not only increased the income of the Heaven Dou Empire, but also gained the hearts of Emperor Xue Ye, and won unanimous praise from all the nobles of the empire.

In almost a short period of time, he became the most trusted vassal of Emperor Xue Ye, and even Prince Xue Xing wanted to befriend him.

"Is money more important, or is the safety of the empire more important? If you don't expand the army, what will you use to resist the army of soul masters in the Wuhun Temple? Besides, His Majesty didn't say to expand the army immediately, so we can prepare food and weapons first. The slave is right, right?" ,His Majesty?"

After saying this, He Shen bowed respectfully to Emperor Xue Ye.

Emperor Xue Ye nodded slowly, "He Aiqing has won the hearts of everyone."

The Minister of the Exchequer's nose was almost crooked, "I don't know how the Lord He plans to raise 300 million troops in just two years. Food, pay and armaments. It won't be necessary to increase taxes, right? The previous tax increases have already increased to [-]% , causing the people's resentment to boil, and the people have reached the point where they can't eat enough, if the Wuhun Palace hadn't opened a warehouse to release food, I'm afraid it would have aroused the people's rebellion long ago."

He Shen smiled and said: "My lord, what are you talking about? The income from the tax increase didn't go into my pocket or someone else's pocket, but went into the national treasury. It protected the Qibao Liulizong, the most loyal ally of our Heaven Dou Empire. I believe that once The day Spirit Hall starts war against our Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will definitely stand by our side."

As soon as this remark came out, Ning Fengzhi showed an embarrassed smile on his face. During the 12 years of the Suoshanhe Treaty, due to the suppression of the Wuhun Palace, the business of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School plummeted, almost to the point where it was unable to pay the huge compensation. Shen took the initiative to stand up and solve this problem for him.

The Heaven Dou Empire paid part of the compensation for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

And that money, of course, comes through tax increases.Speaking of which, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School owed He Shen a huge favor.

Although it has been repaid as soon as possible, this favor cannot be written off just by paying back the money.Otherwise, if you encounter difficulties again, whoever is willing to help you, it's fine if you don't make trouble.

After hearing He Shen's words, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly apologized with a smile: "What Master He said is absolutely true."

"So Mr. He still needs to increase the tax? Don't forget, His Majesty promised last time that he would never increase the tax." The Minister of Finance did not give He Shen any face. He is the veteran of the three dynasties of the Tiandou Empire and has served three generations of emperors.

No one is more loyal to the Heaven Dou Empire than him.

Because of this, he has long been displeased with He Shen, a sycophant.Since entering the imperial court, they have created a crime-discussion silver system, which has made the whole Heaven Dou Empire corrupt and corrupt.Officials and nobles acted without any scruples.Trample the laws of the empire wantonly.After committing a crime, pay some money and you're done.

He himself is corrupt and perverts the law.It is rumored that He Shen's own family property is even more than the national treasury.

"Your Majesty's golden words, since you said that you will never add taxes, then of course you will never add taxes, but we can collect taxes in advance." A mysterious smile appeared on He Shen's chubby face.

"How do you say it?" Hearing the words, Emperor Xue Ye immediately became interested and hurriedly asked.

"Advanced tax collection, which means tax collection in advance, we can collect the taxes of ordinary people in the next two, five, or even ten years in two years. In this way, in the next ten years, they can save Pay taxes again." He Shen said.

After the words fell, the Minister of Finance pointed directly at He Shen's nose and cursed, "Singer, sycophant, you will force the people to rebel and destroy our Heaven Dou Empire."

Being repeatedly despised by the Minister of Finance, He Shen's fiery temper suddenly came up, and he said coldly: "My lord, you are just a pariah, and there are not many people who have awakened their soul power. How can it be my Heaven Dou Empire?" Opponents of the army, besides, Wuhundian likes to be a good old man? Then let them continue to provide disaster relief. Maybe they can weaken the strength of Wuhundian in a disguised form. Or do you want me, the Heaven Dou Empire, to sit and wait to be wiped out by Wuhundian? ?”

"You, you..." The chancellor's health is not good, and he is old, so angry with He Shen, he immediately sprayed blood mist and passed out.There was an instant chaos in the bedroom.

"Hurry up and help the Minister of Finance down, and call the imperial doctor to treat him." Emperor Xue Ye waved his hand impatiently.

After a while, two guards came in from outside the hall and helped the Minister of Finance out.

As soon as the Minister of Finance left, the palace became quiet again. Emperor Xue Ye glanced at everyone, his voice was majestic and calm, "All of you present are the pillars of our Heaven Dou Empire. Let's all discuss it, how about He Aiqing's proposal?"

"Imperial Brother agrees with Your Excellency's proposal." Prince Xue Xing was the first to stand up and express his support. He knew his imperial brother very well, and it was obvious that he was already moved.

And agreeing to He Shen's proposal has only advantages and no disadvantages for him.

On the one hand, he can make friends with Heshen and provide assistance for his nephew's future battle for the position.

Second, he can also make a fortune from it.

Taking the previous tax increases as an example, the benefits he got from Heshen each time were no less than tens of millions of gold soul coins.It is several times more than his prince's salary and the annual benefit of the fief.
