Traveling through time with billions of supplies to become a farmer's little fortune
Chapter 193 Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed
When everyone saw the wolf lying so obediently in front of Su Muyao, they all returned to their original positions.
Soon the banquet began.
Su Muyao held her chin and looked at the dancer beside her, twisting her slender waist and marveling at her.
King Xiaoyao said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I heard that during the time when I was away from the capital, the little princess contributed high-yield grain, and each acre of land can produce 3000 kilograms.
Your Majesty, you also know that it is not easy for the soldiers here. I heard that the people now not only have enough food to eat, but also have surplus food to sell.
I propose to increase taxes to support the border soldiers. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Su Muyao was gnashing her teeth at the side. The people were being exploited just when they could get enough food to eat.
The emperor sitting high also clenched his fist silently. Not to mention that the military rations under King Xiaoyao had always been distributed by the court and had never been withheld.
Just say that the people under his command have followed him to join the enemy country, and based on this fact alone he will definitely not allocate any more money to the army.
"I think this matter should be put aside for now. After all, the people have been struggling to survive due to the drought in the past few years. If taxes are increased just to make ends meet, it will surely make the people panic. We will discuss this matter later."
Upon hearing this, King Xiaoyao did not intend to let the emperor go, and continued, "There is war going on on this border. Your Majesty, you are in the capital and you don't know that if you don't allocate funds, you will not be able to defend it."
Among them, General Yan also echoed: "Your Majesty, it is indeed as King Xiaoyao said. If no more funds are allocated, we will not be able to defend the border. I hope Your Majesty can put the overall situation first."
As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers began to discuss the matter. Those who could be present today were basically the important officials of the court.
Some people naturally stand on the emperor's side, but as King Xiaoyao said, if the border cannot be defended, the country will be destroyed and the family will be ruined.
"Your Majesty, I think the tax rate can be increased. 3000 kilograms per mu is still too little if we follow the previous tax rate."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I think this method is feasible if we increase the amount appropriately."
Soon after, most of the ministers gradually agreed with King Xiaoyao's opinion.
At this time, the Duke stood up and sighed: "Your Majesty, I think this is absolutely unacceptable. The previous drought has just been resolved, and those refugees have just been settled and divided up the land. Now you want to increase taxes on a large scale. This will not give those people a way to survive."
The emperor at the top nodded.
But most of the ministers under him have agreed with King Xiaoyao's opinion. They feel from the bottom of their hearts that if they cannot even maintain the great dynasty, how can they live and work in peace?
In their view, as long as the great dynasty does not perish, they can still live a life of luxury.
How can the lives of ordinary people be equal to theirs? Some hypocrites still think that it is understandable to sacrifice the small for the sake of the big and make some sacrifices for the dynasty.
"We'll discuss this later. At least we should let the people spend this New Year in peace!"
King Xiaoyao disagreed: "Your Majesty, this is wrong. If the people are allowed to pass this year, the soldiers on the border will only freeze to death in this cold winter."
These words are somewhat threatening.
The current emperor is like being roasted on a furnace. He knows that the tax system of this great dynasty is already very heavy.
In addition, there has been a drought for so many years and the situation is only beginning to improve. If more taxes are levied, the people will surely rise up and attack.
The prime minister at the side looked at Su Muyao, resting his chin on his hand and looking at the singer who was still dancing below with an expression of enjoyment.
Su Muyao also noticed with her peripheral vision the look the prime minister gave her.
I was thinking that this old bald donkey must be up to no good. Look at the way he was looking at me, he might point at me in the next second.
Sure enough, as soon as the thought came to his mind, the Prime Minister asked Su Muyao.
"What does the young princess think about this matter?"
As soon as the prime minister said this, everyone looked at Su Muyao. In their dynasty, there was no such thing as women not being allowed to discuss the court.
"Mr. Prime Minister, you are praising me too highly. How can a five-year-old like me have any opinion?"
As soon as these words were spoken, most of the old ministers blushed instantly. Yes, it was really funny that they actually placed their hopes on the little princess.
Just as everyone withdrew their gazes, Su Muyao spoke again: "This princess thinks that this solution is easy, but I don't know whether King Xiaoyao is willing to sacrifice himself and build a great dynasty."
King Xiaoyao raised his head and looked at Su Muyao. "I wonder what kind of sacrifice the little princess wants me to make?"
The little girl stood on her stool, looking down at the man opposite her. "Since King Xiaoyao feels that the military silver and food rations sown every year are not enough to meet the needs of the soldiers, why not give this tiger talisman to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
This princess heard that with the same food and fodder, His Royal Highness not only feeds the soldiers, but also leaves a lot of food for the surrounding people."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers gasped. This little princess was simply too bold.
He actually dared to ask King Xiaoyao to hand over the tiger talisman. He is courting death. Everyone knows that King Xiaoyao values military power the most.
But on second thought, it was just as the young princess said, other generals had enough food and fodder, but King Xiaoyao did not.
At this time, King Xiaoyao suddenly stood up, drew his sword, pointed it at Su Muyao and shouted: "You bold boy, you actually want to alienate the friendship between me and the emperor. If you spread rumors here to confuse the people, don't blame me for getting rid of this scourge of you."
When the emperor saw that King Xiaoyao was going to kill the little princess in front of him, he immediately stood up, pointed at King Xiaoyao and shouted: "King Xiaoyao, you are so bold and arrogant now. You dare to draw your sword and kill the little princess in front of me."
King Xiaoyao thrust his knife directly onto the table and said, "Don't allow me to be arrogant. I have been arrogant many times. You should know who the position behind you should belong to."
When the emperor heard this, his expression changed again and again, and the ministers below looked confused.
The queen pulled the emperor's sleeve, asking him to calm down.
Others did not know that the queen, as the man beside him, certainly knew that Prince Xiaoyao was the most likely to sit in that position at that time.
It was just that he asked the late emperor to grant him the title of King Xiaoyao because he wanted to live a free and easy life and did not want to get involved in the fight among the royal family.
But it was precisely because he did not want to get involved in the struggle within the royal family that he indirectly killed his mother.
It was precisely because of this incident that he later tried every means to obstruct his attempt to regain the throne, but by then there was no one in the court who supported him.
"That's all in the past. Now I'm in this position, and as a subject you should abide by your duties."
King Xiaoyao felt that the current emperor was extremely disgusting to him.
"What is my duty? My duty is that if I don't participate in your fight for the throne, you will look down on me.
You're not afraid to wrong an old lady who does her duty, are you?"
When King Xiaoyao said this, his whole body shook noticeably. He will always remember that night.
Suddenly he shook his sleeves and said, "I'm going to make this clear today. The little princess is rude and reckless to me. I'm going to kill her today. Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed!"
