After being bound by the cute new system, I took the whole place flying

Seeing this scene, Xiao Qi suddenly became anxious.

[Host Host, go and stop the villain, but you must not let this person hit the pillar and die. If this spreads, won't the tyrant's reputation be even worse? We must help the tyrant become a wise king. ]

'hehe. ’

'It's going to rain, my mother is getting married, this old man is going to commit suicide, how can I stop him? '

[What should we do? I can already imagine how bad the reputation of the villain will be if he dies here. Wow, why is this plane so difficult! ]

'Don't worry, he doesn't want to die. '

Si Qing saw it very seriously. With his strength, if he hit his head against a pillar, it would be considered a concussion at most. If he got some bruises on his skin, it would be considered a setback.

Not to mention there were so many people rushing to pull him away.

As expected, the old man was stopped by the people around him.

Jun Mo looked at the farce in the hall and felt his head hurt. He couldn't suppress the violence in his heart, and the overwhelming murderous intention surged from his heart.

Seeing this scene, Si Qing frowned slightly.

So much anger.

She always felt that Jun Mo was not a ruthless emperor who was prone to killing people like in the original plot. From the current point of view, he still had certain talents in governing the country.

"Jun Mo, calm down and let them all go out first."

Jun Mo originally wanted to issue an order to remove all these people, but when he heard Si Qing say this, he pursed his lips.

"The matter has been decided. If you have nothing else to do, please step aside. Come and send someone to take the Prime Minister back to his house. The Prime Minister is ill during this time, so there is no need to delay. With his sick body in the court hall, he was so dedicated and dedicated, which really moved me."

"According to Chuangu's will, Imperial Doctor Li is ordered to accompany the Prime Minister Zuo back to the palace. After the Prime Minister Zuo is cured, Imperial Physician Li will return to the palace. Prime Minister Zuo, during this time, you can rest at home and recuperate. During this period, I allow you not to go to the morning court."

This was a good deal, and Si Qing nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing all Wu Yangyang's people in the hall disperse, Jun Mo dismissed all the servants, rested his right hand on the desk, and rubbed his brow tiredly.

"Do you have a headache? Do you need the royal doctor to take a look?"

Jun Mo waved his hand.

"It's an old problem. Most of it makes them angry. Just let me relax for a while."

Si Qing nodded.

The surrounding atmosphere gradually became quiet. Si Qing watched Jun Mo rub his eyebrows bit by bit. The calm ambergris gradually spread in the space. After an unknown period of time, Jun Mo let out a long sigh.

"Do you also think that my increase in the population tax is nonsense?"

Si Qing shook his head.

"I probably have a certain understanding of the population of your country. In my opinion, it is a very wise choice for you to increase the population tax. Considering the reproductive capacity of your country, if you just let them continue to have children, sooner or later, your country will It will be crushed to death by the burden of population.”

At that time, these people will not even be able to eat, so how can the country be strong and progressed?

Jun Mo's heart moved slightly. Since he took the throne, all he has heard is denial.

The most common thing those veterans said to him was no. This was the first time that he heard someone agree with his ideas and be so consistent with his own ideas.

Soul compatibility, Jun Mo couldn't help but think of this word.

A wave of joy surged from the bottom of his heart and gradually spread throughout his body. An unprecedented feeling surrounded him, as if the heavy burden on his shoulders suddenly became lighter. Jun Mo curled his lips slightly.

"However, I just heard that taxes were increased last year. What is that?"

Mentioning what happened last year, Jun Mo's mood suddenly became silent again.

"In the past few years, Anguo has been in conflict with its neighboring countries. When Gu succeeded to the throne, Anguo had been defeated by Zheng and there were only a few cities left. Gu led the army to fight in the north and south, and then Anguo's vast territory was conquered. All part of the territory was taken back.”

"Gu Shen knows the importance of military strength."

"Raising an army is a very expensive matter. If you don't want to be attacked by others like that, you have to become stronger. But how easy is it to form a well-equipped army with complete combat capabilities? In those years, we marched south and north. War, the national treasury has long been in deficit, so I have no choice but to increase taxes."

Si Qing nodded. From this aspect, increasing taxes is indeed a last resort.

However, increasing taxes will inevitably lead to people's livelihood being miserable, which may be one of the reasons why Jun Mo is called a tyrant by the people.

"If you don't raise an army, how can you protect Gu's people? When other countries' armies invade, it's not just a simple matter of paying a little tax to quell the war."

Si Qing sighed. The public's inherent impression has been basically formed. It is too difficult to reverse it now.

"You are right, but what the left prime minister said also makes some sense."

"We only increased taxes last year, and this year there is a population tax. Jun Mo, I know you are doing it for the good of this country, but have you ever thought that this will lead to you being yelled at and beaten by these people? It’s water, and you are the boat. Water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it.”

How could Jun Mo not know this truth?

However, it is really difficult to find a solution that meets both needs.

"If you want to get something, you must give up something. If you want to have a strong military and not be bullied by foreign countries, you must lose part of the people's livelihood and popularity. If you want this country to develop long-term and healthy, the same , there will also be some inevitable loss.”

Si Qing half-closed his eyes.

"That's true, but is there really no other way?"

Secretary Qing can imagine how high the Bai surname's grief will reach if the population tax decree is really enacted.

At that time, it will be really difficult to reverse Jun Mo's image in the public impression.

"Gu Zhen has no choice."

This is the first time Jun Mo has shown his weak side in front of others. As an emperor, he is not allowed to have weaknesses. Even if he is, he is not allowed to let anyone know about it.

The emperor has a weakness, which is a big taboo.

However, Jun Mo didn't care about letting Si Qing see this side of him.

Perhaps it was because Si Qing was not a human being yet, but just a book, yet Jun Mo had no grudge against her when getting along with her.

"Jun Mo, do you believe me?"

Jun Mo raised his head and looked in the direction of Si Qing.

"If you believe me, why not just leave the matter to me and give me some time. I'll think about it and see if I can find a solution that has both ends."
