Farming Princess: Start From Scratch

After the late emperor died of illness, Yan Jingyan successfully sat in the position of the emperor. On his first day in office, he wanted to lighten the burden of the common people. Only in this way can he manage the country well.

After retiring from the court, all the ministers retired, leaving only a few prime ministers and other ministers.

"New emperor ascends the throne, lighten the load!" My father-in-law is looking at the ministers below and reading out Yan Jingyan's will.

Only when the people of a country are happy, can the country be prosperous. Otherwise, the country is only prosperous on the surface, but it has long been dead in name.

When the prime minister heard Yan Jingyan's words, a mysterious light flashed in his eyes.

When the prime minister came down from the court and went home, he felt thoughtful all the way. He had already had his own plan for what Yan Jingyan told him.

Back to the prime minister's house, he ordered people to find a little general who had been supporting him and wanted to do things by his hand.

"Dong Dong Dong!" Outside the door of the prime minister's study, there was a knock.

"Come in!" The prime minister took a sip from his tea cup, looked up at the door and said softly.

A tall man in military clothes came in from the door, looked at the prime minister sitting on the desk, then arched his hands and said in a soft voice: "I don't know what the prime minister has to say when he asks for the younger one!"

The prime minister put down his teacup, looked at you and said softly, "I came here today to ask you to do something for me! Pass on your Majesty's order, saying that the new emperor ascended the throne, let people in various places to hand in money, congratulations for your highness

With that, the prime minister looked up at him with a smile, his eyes full of excitement. He seems to have seen a day when a large number of people come together to attack. He had this idea from the moment Yan Jingyan sat in this position.

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne. It is not conducive to the peace of the country to increase the burden of the people like this." After listening to the prime minister's words, the little general was very confused, so he immediately asked.

When the emperors of the past dynasties took office, they were very virtuous, otherwise it would be difficult for people to obey their rule. However, it is the first time for him to meet the emperor who just took office, so he is very confused about the prime minister's words.

After listening to the general's words, the prime minister raised his head, squinted at him and said in a low voice, "this is the order of my official, your Majesty's will! Do you dare not

With that, the prime minister looked at him with extremely dangerous eyes, which made the little general hairy.

Looking at the prime minister's appearance, the general was frightened, so he knelt down and said, "I dare not! I'll take care of the little one! "

The prime minister looked at the trembling young general in front of him and nodded his head.

So this matter was ordered to go on, and all towns and villages began to implement it. Many places that can't afford money have been severely punished, and the people have become destitute.

And the news that Dongyu received was also tampered by the prime minister. When he learned that he was going to present a gift to the emperor, he became a little at a loss. After all, it was very difficult for a small town to give a gift to the emperor. The only way was to increase taxes.

So the city Lord gave it to Ling Feng. He trusted him most.

But it's not easy to collect a lot of taxes. Many families simply can't bear such heavy taxes. Ling Feng is also suffering when collecting taxes.

Ling Feng took a group of people to collect from each household until Xu Yao's home.

At the moment, Xu Yao in the shop doesn't know the news. She is still busy in the shop. At the moment, the people outside have been in dire straits for a long time, and the people are constantly complaining about the sudden increase of a large amount of expenditure.

This silver may not be a big deal for some wealthy families, but it will make things worse for most poor families.

Ling Feng stands outside Xu Yao's door and looks at the signboard outside the shop at a loss. He feels that this matter is particularly shameful. Because an emperor increased taxes, but he wanted these servants to act. He saw all the people's eyes, so he did not dare to face Xu Yao.

He didn't know how to face Xu Yao, because he was afraid that Xu Yao would treat him as a bureaucrat like the emperor and keep a distance from him.

He didn't want to do such a thing, but he was an official and had to do it. Even though he hated it from the bottom of his heart, he still had to do it according to the order.

"What are you doing out there? Won't you come in and sit down? " Xu Yao, who has been busy stretching all morning, sees Ling Feng standing outside at a glance. She is very confused, so she says hello to him.Ling Feng's thoughts were interrupted by Xu Yao. Looking at her smiling face, Ling Feng felt a little uncomfortable. He felt that he was really embarrassed.

"I... I came here today to collect taxes! They ordered that taxes be increased and gifts be given to the new emperor! " Ling Feng glanced at Xu Yao, lowered his head and said softly.

He looked at the ground with his head down, his eyes were in a trance, and his voice was getting smaller and smaller.

After hearing Ling Feng's words, Xu Yao is stunned. She turns around and takes out a bag of silver from behind. She gives it all to Ling Feng and asks him to hand it over. These are all the money she has made these days.

Ling Feng looked at the heavy silver of the mobile phone, feeling very bad. He nodded gently and then turned to call on the army to leave.

After collecting this tax, they still have many places to collect it. This tax will surely make the economy of the whole eastern region lag behind. This will be true not only in the eastern region, but also in many other parts of the country, and the people will certainly be extremely angry.

After Ling Feng left, Xu Yao took care of the shop and gave it all to Xiao Fang, while she went to the city master.

She came to the place where she saw him last time and waited for him. As soon as the time came, he should be here again.

Looking at Xu Yao in front of him, the city master was surprised and puzzled. But seeing the heavy expression on Xu Yao's face, he seemed to understand something, so he looked up at her and said softly, "what's the matter? Are you angry about my tax increase? "

The city master came towards Xu Yao, his eyes full of complicated emotions. In fact, all this is not what he wants, but everyone has his own difficulties, and he just obeys the above orders.

Xu Yao looks at the helpless City Lord in front of her and shakes her head gently. Her mind is like a complex mess
