After returning to the palace, Baili Tang consulted relevant historical materials. This world had Laozi, Mencius, and Xunzi, but by the time of the Qin and Han dynasties, history had become completely chaotic...
"A'er, do you remember what was said in the court?"
"Your Majesty, I have made note of it."
"Immediately send people to the marketplace to spread the news of what happened in the court today. Say that General Lin and the Ministry of Revenue jointly raised taxes by 40%. I ridicule them for robbing the poor to help the rich, and yet I'm asking them to write a proposal."

Do you still want the people to live?
However, just now in the court, Baili Tang did not show the slightest sign of anger, and had a smile on his face from beginning to end.
