Chapter 162 How much did you say? !
System: [He plans to make money by holding a charity performance.]
Yuan Ruan: [Huh? Charity performance? Isn't this normal? Why are you so crazy?]
System: [Yes. But what if the protagonist is a member of the royal family of Daxia? ]
emperor:???
Prince: ???
Minister of Revenue: ...Alas, exposed.
The court officials' pupils trembled: You kid! You are not afraid of death.
Yuan Ruan: [Oh my god, he asked the royal family of the building to hold a charity performance? He is so brave. I am really curious about how he plans to implement the plan?]
System: [Let me see. He is going to discuss the empty treasury with His Majesty after the court session. The Minister of Finance will tell your brother that after investigation, he found that the powerful and wealthy businessmen outside the capital really want to be recognized by the powerful and wealthy in the capital. These wealthy businessmen also know that the officials look down on them, so these wealthy businessmen will spend money to make friends with the royal family. Rather than letting these money benefit private individuals, it is better to flow into the national treasury.]
Emperor, Crown Prince: ...
The court officials were also a little embarrassed: That was true, but it seemed a bit stingy. It was just a small amount of money from some wealthy and powerful merchants from other places. What could they do with such a small amount of money?
Yuanruan: [Pfft, that's incredible. It's just a little tribute money, how much can it be? ]
System: [Let me see. Anyway, in the past year, the powerful and wealthy businessmen paid visits to these royal relatives and made about 100 million yuan.]
Crowd: !!!
More, how much?
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Ouch!"...
Before Yuan Ruan could finish being shocked, he saw the court officials in front of him falling to the ground.
Yuanruan: [What's going on? ]
System: [Can I see?]
The Minister of War immediately perked up, gritted his teeth, and started to act out loudly: "Who just pinched my butt secretly? Stand up! Is it you, Minister of Personnel?"
Crowd: !!!
The court officials all looked at the Minister of Personnel.
Noticing the shocked looks on the faces of his colleagues, the Minister of Personnel was so angry that he almost died. He jumped up and yelled, "I am not that kind of person! What the hell are you talking about!"
The Minister of War winked at the Minister of Personnel and said, "Why are so many people falling on me? It's suspicious!"
The nearby court officials immediately understood that the Minister of War was using an even more explosive piece of news to divert Yuan Ruan and the system's attention.
The Minister of Personnel understood but was still speechless, and asked in a soul-searching way: "Then why do you have to guess at me? If you suspect me, you might as well suspect the Right Assistant Minister of the Imperial Court!"
The court officials all turned their eyes to U Cheondu Yusa.
You Qiandu Yushi said calmly: "Nonsense. I am single-minded."
Crowd: !!!
Yu Hongyu looked righteous, as if he had heard nothing.
Yuan Ruan laughed: [The court officials are quite humorous. I guess it was an accident.]
System: [It’s really funny, Daxia is awesome. ]
The emperor's mouth twitched: There is no need to think that Daxia is awesome because of this.
Yuan Ruan: [Okay, Tong'er, continue to tell us how the Minister of Revenue got them to perform for the charity? To perform on stage?]
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused.
yes!
The royal family members are supported by the national treasury every year, so they should be allowed to create some value for Daxia.
System: [It's very simple. Just book a storytelling hall and invite those powerful and wealthy businessmen to come and let these royal relatives tell stories. Then let the powerful and wealthy businessmen give gifts with large sums of money. Those who spend the most can get a plaque and visit the house in the future.]
The Emperor and the Crown Prince: ...
It is not impossible to save this 100 million yuan in a year.
Courtiers: ...
What's the difference between this and a brothel? Making the clan members the top stars, well, that doesn't seem quite right.
Yuanruan: [He has some business sense! He even used the celebrity effect to make 100 million.]
System: [Wait, Ah Ruan, you misunderstood. 100 million is the cost of the powerful and wealthy merchants to visit the audience for a year. This charity performance has an auction. Those powerful and wealthy merchants paid ten times the previous amount to get in. In the end, the Minister of Revenue received 1 billion! Ten times! ]
Crowd: !!!
The courtiers gasped, clenched their fists, and tightened their thigh muscles to prevent themselves from falling and making a fool of themselves again.
At the same time, the court officials looked at the emperor and the crown prince with burning eyes, almost shouting "Your Majesty! It's worth it! Agree!"
The emperor was obviously uneasy and nodded slightly to the prince.
The prince also returned the look and began to think about which princes should be selected to go to the teahouse.
Yuan Ruan also covered his own baby fat: [The Minister of Revenue is amazing. He made 1 billion yuan by himself. He really robbed the country of its wealth. ]
The Minister of Revenue stroked his beard quite complacently.
System: [Yes. If the hole in the Great Xia treasury wasn't so big, the Minister of Revenue would have made up for it.]
The corners of the Minister of Revenue's lips, which had just curled up, straightened.
Yuanruan: [Ah. In the end, we still have to make money! Tonger, do you think there are tasks in the system that support making money? ]
System: [Let me see, haha, it really exists! There is a silver mine map as a reward. ]
Courtiers: !!!
What?! Silver mine?!
There is such a good thing?!
Yuanruan: [Wow, this is good! This mission is good. ]
System: [But it's a little hard to accomplish. ]
Yuan Ruan: [You said, I even completed the task of spanking the prince...]
System: [Daily Task: The Minister of Revenue wears women's clothing to attend court for one day. Reward: Two maps of silver mines in Daxia. (Unfinished) Ah Ruan, do you want to accept it?!]
Yuan Ruan: [Hiss. This task is too difficult for the Minister of Revenue.]
Courtiers: !!!
They stretched out their hands.
No! It's fine! Isn't it just women's clothing?! Get it done!
Among them, only the Minister of Revenue's mouth corners began to twitch slightly.
System: [Do you want to take it? After I update, you can take two daily tasks at the same time. If you can't complete this daily task, leaving it here won't delay you from taking the daily tasks.]
Yuanruan: [Since you said so! I will definitely accept it. I will think of a solution.]
System: [Okay.]
The Minister of Revenue fell into deep thought.
I didn't notice at all that there were several pairs of green eyes behind me.
After the court session, the Minister of Revenue took the initiative to find the emperor and talked about how to "reasonably" complete the task.
The emperor was very satisfied with the minister's understanding, and said, "My dear minister, I think the charity performance for the clan members you proposed is worth doing. I have asked the prince to draw up a list, you can choose carefully."
The Minister of Revenue smiled bitterly in his heart. He never thought that even with the silver mine, he would have to do such an offensive thing.
However, thinking of the empty treasury, the Minister of Finance nodded firmly and said, "Okay, I will carefully screen out a few people."
The emperor glanced at him strangely and said, "No. It's to let you screen out those who are more valuable and can go on stage more times."
The Minister of Revenue staggered and nearly fell.
He suddenly thought of the system's inner voice: Your Majesty is even more evil-minded than the capitalists!
Because he was busy selecting the list, the Minister of Revenue returned home very late that day.
