Xiang Hua's voice was not loud, but it echoed throughout the court.
The emperor was about to leave when he paused. It was all over. What was supposed to happen had finally happened.
I managed to avoid the first day but not the fifteenth. I wanted to fool around and deal with it tomorrow, but this ancestor insisted on exposing the matter.
The emperor was stunned for only a few seconds and then decided to continue playing dumb. If you can't see me, you can't see me, I'll retreat first!
Everyone saw that the emperor was about to escape, and they were all very disappointed in him. How could there be such an emperor?
Others who are officials in the court are all well-off and receive all kinds of benefits and kickbacks.
They work hard every day but can't even get a basic salary.
Not to mention the oil and water, even a rat coming into this crappy place like Dagua Country would become very thin.
At the critical moment, it was the old Prime Minister Gongsun Tudou who stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we need to discuss the matter of the butterfly again. I heard that the fool went to Xiangxiang Country, so we still need to pay attention to this matter."
Everyone followed suit, "Yes, Your Majesty, it is better to take a long-term view on everything."
They all understood that the old prime minister was stalling for time.
They didn't dare to ask the emperor for salary openly, so they let Xiang Hua do it.
Anyway, what Xiang Hua said was not said by herself. Besides, she is a popular figure now, so the emperor will at least take what she says seriously.
The emperor was surrounded by the crowd and couldn't move away, so he had to stand up straight and listen carefully.
He wailed in his heart, it is so difficult to be a wise ruler, it is so difficult for me. I still have to deal with these trivial matters after the court session. I don’t know if the Queen will be angry if I am late.
When the emperor was surrounded by everyone, the system had already started to complain.
[It’s not that the Emperor doesn’t want to pay you a salary, he just doesn’t pay any salary to the civil and military officials in the whole court.]
Xiang Hua was surprised: [Ah, why is that? Do you mean they haven't paid the salary for a long time? ]
System: [The civil and military officials of Dagua Country have not received their salaries for three months. You are better off. You have only worked for one month, so the loss is not that big.]
[After working for a month, can I not ask for my salary? This salary is all the motivation for me to get up early and go to court every day. This Golden Palace is so luxurious, did the emperor spend all his money on these face-saving projects? No, tear down this Golden Palace and sell it for money. If you can't tear it down, you can also make a lot of money by renting it out. ]
Xiang Hua looked up to the sky and wailed.
[It’s not that the Emperor won’t send it to you, he just likes to drag it out. 】
As soon as the system said this, the eyes of the civil and military officials instantly showed a hint of resentment.
Delay, delay, delay. Your Majesty, how long do you want to delay this? This money will not bloom in the treasury.
We just want our own reasonable and legal salary, why is it so difficult?
Xiang Hua saw the emperor's handsome face from afar and really wanted to go up and tear it into pieces.
[Little melon, how long does the emperor plan to delay? He doesn't want to delay forever, right? If so, I won't serve in this court anymore.]
[The emperor naturally wants to delay until he has money. He has no money, so what can he give out? He is also helpless. Look at his handsome face, which looks even more vicissitudes of life now.]
After hearing this, the emperor straightened his back silently. The system is right. It’s not that I don’t want to send it, but I really have no choice.
[The emperor has no money to pay salaries! Oh my god, this is not how the country was destroyed, it must be so poor! ]
When all the civil and military officials heard Xiang Hua say that Da Gua was going to lose his country and die of poverty, they were so angry that they almost laughed.
What's the matter? If we delay paying their salaries, will Dagua become rich?
Since I am going to die of poverty, I might as well get my salary early, at least life will be better in the next few months.
You are going to die of poverty and you won’t be able to have a good meal before you die. Be nice to yourself.
System: [Host, it's useless for you to complain here. You might as well think of more ways to help the emperor make more money.]
Xiang Hua shook her head: [Xiaogua, what's wrong with you? Who is your host? You have been speaking for that dog emperor every day recently. It's too much. I help him make money. Isn't it enough for me to help him? He doesn't even give me a salary after making so much money. You still want me to help him? No way!]
When the emperor heard what the system said, he was about to happily go to Xiang Hua for help.
Unexpectedly, before he even took the first step, he was harshly rejected.
Judging from her tone, she seemed a little angry.
…
Xiang Hua returned home without receiving her salary, feeling very angry.
She lay on a recliner in front of her shop, eating melon seeds and cursing the emperor.
When Chi Gua saw her coming back, he ran over happily with a bag of goodies.
"Hua'er, look what delicious food I brought you?"
As he spoke, he produced a string of candied haws and a bunch of snacks from his pocket.
Xiang Hua's eyes lit up once, twice, and three times, as she saw a dazzling array of delicious food.
"Brother Chi Gua, you are so nice. I was angry just now, but now I feel much better." Xiang Hua took the candied haws and started eating happily.
Chi Gua's face turned red. "As long as you like it. What makes you unhappy? If anyone provokes you, I will beat him up."
"I'm going too. Who dares to mess with my little sister?" Xiang Bin suddenly came over and interrupted.
"Go and do your own thing. Come on, come on." Chi Gua stuffed some food into Xiang Bin's mouth and sent him away.
This guy always ruins his time. He finally gets some time alone with Xiang Hua, and he comes to join in the fun. How annoying.
Xiang Hua didn't think too much about it. She ate candied haws while complaining to Chi Gua, "You don't know, our dog emperor is very stingy. Now he can't even pay the salaries of the civil and military officials. I didn't get a penny today and returned empty-handed."
