Chapter 36 The title was eaten again~

When the second prince Xiao Moqing heard the little girl's voice, his eyes flashed with shock.

Sister, you are so brave to say that!

The big tyrant beside him also heard this and flashed a little surprise in his eyes. He was a little surprised that she, a little kid, actually knew all this.

Minister of Revenue: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, at the beginning of this year, the south was flooded and the grain harvest was poor, but the taxes are still so high. Some people really

can't afford such high taxes." Wanwan: [Indeed, the harvest was poor due to natural disasters, but the taxes to be paid are still so high. Faced with such high taxes, the people naturally can't pay the taxes. Can't they only donate the land under their names to officials who don't have to pay taxes?]

[No wonder my scumbag father stole my gold, it turns out that the treasury is really empty]

Steal gold?

The second prince wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. The treasury was so empty that his father stole gold? !

Oh my God!

It's really unbelievable!

The second prince was completely dumbfounded. It turned out that the treasury was so empty.

"Ahem——" Hearing the little brat's inner complaints, the big tyrant coughed lightly in an unnatural way.

How did this little brat know that he sent people to dig up her treasures?

But how could he say stealing? Why did the little brat say it so harshly?

Who the hell leaked the news?

Only he and Tan Wei knew about this. Could it be Tan Wei?

But the big tyrant thought it was unlikely, because Tan Wei was very loyal.

[Alas, why am I so miserable? I finally became a princess. It would be fine if my family's heads were all hung on the city wall in three years. But now the treasury is empty. It won't be long before I can't even eat, right? Wuwuwuwuwu]

The big tyrant: My dear, although the tax this year is not much, the treasury is not so poor.

The second prince got the point right away. Three years later, the heads of the whole family will be hung on the city wall!

What's going on? !

[Alas, according to the tyrannical nature of my father, I estimate that he will force taxes on those officials. After

all, my father is a tyrant. He is not like other kings who are jealous of those bureaucrats in order to consolidate their own positions.] [But I am afraid that those bureaucrats will cheat and extort taxes from the poor people. After all, the emperor is far away, and Dongming is so big that there are always places that cannot be taken care of. The people are oppressed, and then the peasants revolt. Tsk, the consequences can be imagined.]

Thinking of that scene, Wanwan couldn't help but sighed with her chin in her hand.

The big tyrant looked at the little milk ball who was sitting aside and sighed, and a deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

He thought this girl was just an ordinary brat, but he didn't expect that she actually knew all this.

She was right. Although he was the emperor of Dongming and controlled the entire court, he was not the controller of the land. The bureaucrats and nobles who owned the land would hide their property.

It has been like this for thousands of years. Whenever an emperor wanted to cut the flesh of the bureaucrats and gentlemen, they would always find a way to lead the knife to the ordinary people. Often the bureaucrats and gentlemen have nothing to do, and the vast majority of the people will gather when they are oppressed.

But after listening to the little brat's voice just now, he suddenly thought of something.

The tyrant looked at the Minister of Revenue who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Since it is a natural disaster, the taxes this year will be reduced. In addition, the expenses of the royal family will also be reduced as appropriate. The people's harvest is not good this year, and we should be frugal. And remember, you once told me about paying taxes to officials. Now talk to me about it."

The Minister of Revenue who was kneeling on the ground was slightly surprised when he heard this. He thought that with your majesty's violent temper, you would forcibly collect taxes from those officials. Although this method is desirable, it will have great disadvantages in the long run.

The Minister of Revenue is a veteran of three dynasties. Since he entered the official career, he has been thinking about the issue of taxation and has some ideas in mind.

The scumbag father discussed matters with the ministers, and Wanwan and her second brother were kindly invited out.

Although Wanwan didn't know whether they could find a solution, but after listening to what the scumbag dad said just now, if the royal family's recent expenses were reduced, wouldn't there be no need to oppress the people?

It didn't seem too bad to save money in a short period of time in exchange for a stable and wealthy life.

After thinking about it, the haze in Wanwan's heart was swept away.

However, she hadn't walked a few steps when she suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit to the tyrant.

[I forgot to ask the scumbag dad why he stole my gold]

[Oh, I suddenly remembered, it's because the treasury is empty]

Wanwan wondered if it was because she had been with this conspicuous second prince for too long that she was infected by him and turned into a fool.

Thinking about it, Wanwan subconsciously moved her little feet to the side, trying to get away from him. She inadvertently glanced at a certain man, which scared her.

Wanwan: "Second... Brother, are you okay?"

[Oh my god, what's wrong with him? Why does he look constipated, so scary]

The second prince who heard the voice lowered his eyes and glanced at the little kid beside him, and he felt more and more that he might have hallucinated just now.

This girl said that in three years, their family's heads will be neatly hung with city walls?

"You..." The second prince Xiao Moqing bent down and stared at the delicate girl in front of him.

Just when he was thinking about whether to ask her, he heard the girl's inner voice:

[Could it be that he knew that he spent ten thousand taels to buy fake medicine, and now he feels guilty? 】

【That's right, only a fool would believe in something like an elixir of immortality】

【The national treasury is so empty, and this prodigal second prince still spends money to buy fake medicine. If I were him, I would feel guilty】

The second prince: "..."

He didn't think he was cheated at first, but after listening to what the little brat kept saying, he began to doubt whether he was really cheated.

"Give it to me." Xiao Moqing stretched out his hand to her.

Wanwan stared at him with a puzzled look on her face, not quite understanding.

The next second, Xiao Moqing said to her: "Give me back the elixir of immortality I just gave you."

He gave it to the girl out of kindness, but the girl still complained in her heart that he was cheated into buying fake medicine.

He just couldn't believe that the elixir he spent ten thousand taels on was actually fake.

After hearing what the man said, Wanwan thought that her second brother realized that he had bought fake medicine and wanted to return it, so she obediently handed him the box containing the fake elixir.

"Second brother, give it to you." Wanwan

had just finished saying this when she saw her second brother suddenly open the box, then picked up the fake medicine and threw it directly into his mouth.
