Chapter 1569: Except for Princess Furui, the whole country is in extreme poverty
Princess Mingli is worried!
She never thought that even the king of a country would have to worry about money!
Princess Mingli scratched her head in annoyance.
I looked down and saw several strands of hair in my hand!
Princess Mingli: “…”
Has she started losing her hair due to worry?
"Tell me, is there any way to make money?" Princess Mingli asked weakly.
Why does she want to be the queen?
Why should she suffer this?
She is young and beautiful. Isn't it nice for her to eat, drink and have fun?
A group of ministers who came to ask for money exchanged knowing glances after hearing what Princess Mingli said.
"Your Highness, in my opinion, we should ask Princess Furui to donate some of her wealth to fill the gaps in the national treasury."
"Your Highness, I also believe that Princess Furui should use some of the money she earns from us for medical treatment as military pay."
"Your Highness, in my opinion, all that property belongs to Xi Qin. Even if Princess Furui were to give more, it would be perfectly natural..."
"My dear Princess...
…
Princess Mingli looked at the group of ministers below, who were getting more and more excited as they spoke, all targeting Tang Bao's purse. She couldn't help but frown!
"What do you mean by 'of course'?" Princess Mingli said angrily, "Princess Furui earned all that property through her own ability, so it naturally belongs to her. Why should she give it away?"
When Princess Mingli said this, a hint of sarcasm appeared on her face.
He continued, "What's going on? You want to burn your bridges? Now that your drug addiction is over, you're starting to feel bad about your property. Are you trying to get it out of my sister's hands?"
A group of ministers: "..."
There was a sense of embarrassment on his face.
They really do think so.
But, you can't say that.
Seeing this, Princess Mingli became even angrier.
"Are you all planning to take advantage of my sister?" Princess Mingli asked angrily.
A group of ministers: "..."
Of course!
After all, except for Princess Furui, the entire country was in abject poverty.
They would like to take advantage of others, but unfortunately they have no money!
"Princess Crown Princess, I'm innocent. I'm only concerned about the people of Western Qin and its safety," an elderly woman cried out with a look of despair. "Right now, officials' pockets are empty, and the wealthy merchants don't have much left. All of Western Qin's wealth has fallen into the hands of Princess Furui..."
When the aunt said this, she suddenly sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
"Wow wow wow... Princess Crown Princess... If Princess Furui takes all of Xi Qin's belongings back to Dayan, how will we live in the future? Wow wow wow..."
Since someone started crying, the other gray-haired ladies didn't care about anything anymore.
So, let’s all sit on the ground and cry!
So, several old ladies sat cross-legged on the ground and started crying out to the sky.
"Wa ...
"Ahh... Princess, I've suffered so much too... Not only did I give all my property to Princess Furui, but I even wrote her two IOUs..."
"Wow wow wow... You only bought two, and I bought a whole bunch. I don't know if I can ever pay it back in this lifetime..."
"Wa ...
Princess Mingli: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched.
Sister Fuya, you are too cruel.
Although these old guys are all fence-sitters and like to take advantage of their seniority, we should still leave them some rice bran or something, right?
This IOU will last until my next life...
Oh! Why is it so - so happy?
Princess Mingli sighed in her heart, but at the same time she was secretly happy.
"Are you blaming Princess Furui for saving your lives? Right?" Princess Mingli tried to keep a straight face and said, "It's a shame that you have lived to such an old age, yet you still have such ungrateful thoughts."
The crying of several ladies stopped.
"Hmph! In that case, I will go to Princess Furui and speak for you, asking her to return all your property to you, how about that?" Princess Mingli said again.
Several of the ladies immediately showed expressions of surprise on their faces.
——That’s great!
My family is starving, so I don’t care about being ungrateful or anything like that.
However, the next moment, Princess Mingli said, "Fortunately, I found some Xiaoyao Powder from the No. 1 Bull in the World. You can take it for a few days. Once you get addicted, I'll go get the silver for you. Then, it will be as if Princess Furui never saved you."
The surprised expressions on the faces of the ladies froze.
"How about it?" Princess Mingli asked, "As long as you agree, I will go to Princess Furui to make a plea."
Several ladies: "..."
How about it?
What else can I do?
Of course not!
They don't want to experience that uncontrollable feeling of being anxious and wanting to bang their heads against the wall again.
If they really couldn't bear it anymore, why would they rather write an IOU than ask for the antidote?
Princess Mingli successfully made the ladies shut up.
However, the matter was not resolved.
Several loyal ministers stepped forward with sad faces and spoke.
"Princess, the families of all the civil and military officials in the court are now impoverished. This is not a big deal, but the soldiers at the border cannot go hungry." A heroic female general said with a worried look on her face, "Without food and fodder, how can the soldiers fight bravely and resist possible changes on the border?"
Another elegant and refined lady also stepped forward and said, "Lord Yu is absolutely right. Now that Mu Lin is dead, Northern Qi will probably hold Western Qin responsible. This will undoubtedly lead to instability on the border. We must make plans early to prevent a sudden attack from Northern Qi!"
"Your Highness, I believe that if Princess Furui can contribute half of her property, the urgent situation on the border can be resolved." Another lady said anxiously.
"Princess, we do not wish to do this, but in the interest of our country and family, according to the laws of Western Qin, personal property can be confiscated..."
"Princess Crown Princess, we have no intention of being ungrateful. We are extremely grateful to Princess Furui for saving our lives. However, we must act swiftly in this urgent situation. Please, Princess Crown Princess, put the interests of our country first and ask Princess Furui to help..."
Princess Mingli: “…”
Several loyal ministers looked so worried about the country that Princess Mingli found it difficult to reprimand them.
However, when she was asked to speak to Tang Bao, she couldn't open her mouth.
She said she would always protect her sister.
Now, her younger sister earns her medical expenses with her own ability, how can she take advantage of her younger sister?
Several ministers noticed Princess Mingli's hesitation and became anxious.
At this time, a minister said confidently: "I think that since Princess Furui has been granted the title of Princess of Xi Qin, she should naturally do her best for Xi Qin!"
"I also think so..."
"I am also..."
