Silly Concubine: Buy One Get One Free

Chapter 619 Donate Money
But the most important thing now is to go to court.

However, in the court, the ministers were arguing again because of the matter of setting up a concubine in the harem, and the matter of harassment by demons in the northwest was also brought up on the motion, and a military officer asked the court to send troops to suppress it.

However, the timid officials believed that it was beyond their capabilities to block the demon with their flesh and blood.

At the beginning, the false emperor Yuwen Aofeng won the throne with the help of the devil. Now that the devil invades, I am afraid it will not be a good thing.

"The most important thing is, Your Majesty, our country's treasury is empty. I'm afraid we need to raise taxes to fill the treasury. Only in this way can we recruit troops and develop weapons to deal with demons."

This time it was the highly respected Prime Minister Jiang who spoke.

His words were unanimously agreed.

Yu Wen proudly looked at the civil and military officials in the hall with a pair of cold eyes. Hearing that they were discussing a lot, but they didn't explain why, there were quite a few complaints.

He cleared his throat, ready to speak.

When the emperor cleared his throat, it meant to remind everyone to be safe and not to be impatient.

There is no reason for those civil and military officials not to understand this point.

So after Yuwen proudly uttered his voice, everyone quickly quieted down, waiting for the emperor's order.

"The two things my loves said just now, I think the first one is a matter of my harem, and it is not enough to be compared with the life and death of the people, so let's postpone it.

Let's talk about this latter thing. "

When he said this, he glanced at all the people present and saw that they all nodded in approval, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

He didn't wait for the officials to hear him say the last thing: "Increasing taxes, for ordinary people, they have just experienced heavy taxes imposed by the false emperor, and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief, but we want to fight the war with the country." For this reason, imposing high taxes on them again is not good for the people to live and work in peace and contentment."

Yuwen proudly uttered this sentence, and there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Some said that the emperor was right, and some said, if there is no tax, where does the money come from?

Just when the opinions of the officials were not unified, Yuwen cleared his throat proudly, and the hall was suddenly silent. The civil and military officials held the jade silk, stood upright, all of them looked serious, and did not dare to speak more.

Yuwen proudly glanced at the audience again, before saying: "So the solution to this matter is very simple, cut down the palace expenses, and dismiss the newly selected showgirls and useless ones.

Then go to the famous merchants in the capital, and in the name of serving the court, ask them to spend some money to help the country tide over the difficulties. You can write them IOUs, and then return them when the country has money. What do you think of me? What is the solution? "

This is what Yu Wen proudly came up with, he knew that there are actually quite a few rich merchants in Longyan City.

Because of lower taxes, they have accumulated more wealth, but through high taxes to get these people out of money, they are actually forcing poor people to sell their sons and daughters.

Instead of doing this, it is better to directly find rich merchants to contribute money and efforts, and return the money to them when the country becomes rich and strong.

As soon as Yuwen's proud method came out, it was appreciated by all the officials, who thought it was feasible.

Some civil servants came forward and proudly clasped their fists to Yuwen: "Your Majesty, I am willing to act as a lobbyist and let those businessmen spend money to support the war ahead."

"That's the best way. I'll leave this matter to Qiu Jin, the servant of the household department."
