Chapter 251 She was more used to his former rebellious and foolish appearance That’s 30 million taels of silver! Minister Yan, who was angered by Yun Shu's reaction, wanted to speak again. Yun Shu didn't give him that chance, and turned away sleekly in front of him:"Father, that shouldn't be a problem. It's only 30 million taels. A little bit of the commercial tax collected this year will be enough to make up for the shortfall." "what?" Just a small amount of money can make you 30 million taels? What a joke! The revenue of the Tiansheng Dynasty's treasury was only over 50 million taels a year, and a mere commercial tax... "Here is the total commercial tax amount of each state compiled by this minister." Pretending that he didn't hear the shocking voices behind him, Yun Shu held out a book with both hands: "Please have a look, Father." "Show it to me now!" Emperor Xuanwu, who was at the top, was now becoming a little restless. It’s not his fault that he lacks perseverance, he’s just afraid of being poor! It is not an easy task to be in charge of a country. Minister Yan cries poor in front of him every day. Doesn't he feel any pressure? As an emperor, the pressure on him is ten or a hundred times greater than that on Minister Yan! Many policies cost money to be successfully implemented! This kid was so secretive when he was checking the accounts before, and refused to tell him a single word.
He was worried at the time, fearing that the merchants under him were not honest and sent him a large number of account books, but the amount of taxes they paid in the end was disastrously low. Unexpectedly, this kid had silently kept a huge surprise for him! Emperor Xuanwu could not wait to take the memorial from Li Dehai. From the moment he saw the number of the first state, the corner of his mouth never dropped. After seeing the shocking total at the end, I couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Great! You are worthy of being my princess. You have really solved a big problem for my Tiansheng Dynasty!" "……His Majesty." Seeing that Emperor Xuanwu was very pleased, he was obviously very satisfied with the amount. Minister Yan couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward to ask: "I wonder what the tax is..." "See for yourself!" After Li Dehai delivered the memorial to Minister Yan, Emperor Xuanwu said with a refreshed look: "You! All you do all day is stare at the little bit of money in the treasury, and then come to me and cry poor. What's the point of complaining about being poor? Can you make money just by saving? You have to learn from the princess! If you don't have money, then find a way to earn it! Only in this way can the national treasury be enriched!" "Yes……" Minister Yan gave a dry laugh, but in his heart he still had a bit of disdain and contempt in his heart. Until Li Dehai delivered the memorial to him, When Minister Yan opened the book and saw the first set of data, his hands shook unconsciously. Then I saw the second group, the third group... The moment he finally saw the total amount, the note fell to the ground with a "click" because he was too excited. Yun Shu raised her eyebrows, put her hands in her tucked away and turned around quietly, looking at her memorial lying on the ground, and said coldly: "Master Yan is going too far. In the past, he only impeached me.
Now you are going to throw the memorial I wrote at the morning court in front of so many people?" "No...I dare not!" Yun Shu's ridicule brought him back to his senses. Minister Yan quickly bent down and picked up the memorial from the ground. Not only did he not immediately turn into a fighting cock as he did in the past when he met Yun Shu, he even took the initiative to wipe the non-existent dust off the memorial with his sleeve: "I am just too shocked. I didn't expect Her Highness to be so amazing. This business tax is really a good thing!" The eldest prince, who was still hoping that he could fight Yun Shu again as usual, said: "???" Minister Yan, if you were kidnapped, would you just blink? How come he performed such a smooth face-changing performance on the spot? Don’t you think that your sudden sliding to your knees makes your previous behavior against Her Royal Highness the Princess seem ridiculous and stupid? How much money did Her Royal Highness give you? General Weiyuan stretched out his hand in disbelief and took the memorial from Minister Yan: "Isn't it just a little commercial tax? Look at you..." He looks like he has never seen the world. The last few words got stuck in his throat the moment he saw the data with his own eyes. "What do you see here?" Minister Yan sneered: "Why don't you finish what you are saying, General?" "Look at you... so calm!" General Weiyuan swallowed hard: "With your miserly personality, I'm surprised you didn't faint from joy!" The eldest prince, who was still waiting for General Weiyuan to help him win the game, said: "?" General Weiyuan, who had gifted a kill to the opponent, said: "..." It’s really not that he doesn’t live up to expectations! It's really because the opponent is too competitive! After all, he was a general, and he had worried about military pay dozens of times. We are all people who have been tripped by poverty. Who can remain calm after seeing such a large sum of money? If he hadn't already sided with the eldest prince, he would definitely have gone to cling to the Crown Princess's golden thigh now! After silently returning the memorial to Minister Yan, General Weiyuan returned to his seat without saying a word. Minister Yan saw that he was quite sensible, so he snorted coldly and didn't bother with this reckless man. After wiping the memorial in his hand with care, Minister Yan turned around and smiled like a chrysanthemum: "With this 180 million taels of tax silver, the gap in the national treasury can indeed be easily filled. No wonder Her Royal Highness didn't worry about this problem at all before. Now it seems that I was worrying too much!" "As long as you know!" Emperor Xuanwu sat high on the dragon throne, and saw the instant change in Minister Yan's expression, the silence of General Weiyuan, and the uproar among other court officials after Minister Yan said the astronomical figure of "180 million taels". The emperor, who never showed his emotions in front of his ministers, was now full of pride: "My princess is far more powerful than you think!" "Your Majesty said so!"
With the "cash power" of 180 million taels, Minister Yan immediately took a liking to Yun Shu. No matter how Emperor Xuanwu praised him, he would happily agree with him. Even after the court was dismissed, Yun Shu called him and he still acted very enthusiastic: "Does Your Highness have any other instructions? If it is related to commercial taxes, the Ministry of Revenue will definitely do its best!" Yun Shu: “…” I feel so uncomfortable. She seemed to be more accustomed to Minister Yan's former rebellious and foolish behavior. ……
