Standing at the front was Feng Jun's father, the current female prime minister. She looked solemn and performed her ceremony with meticulous attention to detail. Despite Di Man's incompetence, the court was still able to survive thanks to this veteran minister.
"If you have something to report, please stand up. If not, please leave the court." The maid shouted.
At this time, the female prime minister stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, this year's tax revenue is less than half of previous years. If this continues, I'm afraid the treasury will soon be empty."
Although Su Man already knew the news, she still asked the Minister of Revenue, "My dear, is what the female prime minister said true?"
The Minister of Revenue had a pair of small eyes that spun around before stepping forward and saying, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. I was just about to report this to Your Majesty. This year's locust plague has left many people with nothing to harvest. If we still forcibly collect taxes under such circumstances, wouldn't that be like asking for their lives..."
As he spoke, the Minister of Revenue began to wipe his tears with his sleeves, looking like a man who loved the people like his own children.
The female minister's face turned cold. "This locust plague is not new. Every year, the national treasury allocates a lot of money to eliminate the plague. Why is it still so serious? Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? Only you know."
"What does this mean, Lady Prime Minister?"
"You know what I mean."
“…”
The atmosphere between the two men became increasingly tense. The Minister of Revenue turned to Su Man and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, what I said is absolutely true. If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can send someone to investigate."
Seeing how confident he was, Su Man knew that even if she asked someone to investigate, nothing would be found.
The Ministry of Revenue, from top to bottom, was probably completely rotten. Otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up running out of money in the middle of a war and had to negotiate peace with Bantu.
Su Man is well aware of the importance of finance, but she also knows that such things cannot be rushed.
So she pretended to be impatient and interrupted their argument, "Okay, okay, I'll go back and study it first."
When the female prime minister heard this, she looked disappointed, while the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue was very proud.
However, before one wave of trouble subsided, another person came forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
