Luo'er had nothing to do, so she accompanied her parents to the palace to visit Concubine Shu.

Emperor Xuanwu seemed unhappy today and sat on the chair with a headache.

"Grandpa Huang, why are you unhappy again?"

Luo'er walked over and sat in Emperor Xuanwu's arms, as if she was used to this action.

"Ugh……"

Emperor Xuanwu stroked the two small tufts of hair on Luo'er's head, as if this could dispel his worries, "My little Shengyang may still be young and may not understand some things."

"don't know?"

Luo Er looked at Emperor Xuanwu with a smile, and after a moment, she had uncovered all the secrets of Emperor Xuanwu. "Then guess, if I guess right, how will Grandpa Emperor reward me?"

Emperor Xuanwu was in a better mood and pinched her nose. "What reward do you want?"

"I want……"

Luo Er showed her five little teeth and said with a smile, "I want a commission. I make money for you, so you give me a share."

Emperor Xuanwu was startled, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, "So, you already know what it is?"

Luo Er looked at him with a smile and nodded, "The people are still not getting enough to eat, you've been thrifty and cut down on expenses. It's not easy to keep the people from going hungry."

"But the soldiers on the frontier don't have cotton clothes, and their food is very poor. The army's food supply is not enough, and many soldiers starved to death or froze to death, right?"

Luo Er sighed, "Why don't you ask those officials for it?"

Emperor Xuanwu was stunned. In front of Luo'er, she was like an invisible person. It seemed that she could see through everything.

"They...are all so poor that they can't even afford to eat."

Emperor Xuanwu sighed, "Everyone is complaining to me about being poor, saying that their houses are broken and they don't have money to repair them. The families in the mansions are so poor that they don't have clothes to wear."

Luo'er looked confused, frowned, and was a little dissatisfied.

[Bullshit, my grandfather was so frugal that he only ate one meal and two dishes. But these officials spend money like water all day long. It's like the prime minister still has a mistress outside.]

[My grandson was struck by lightning and died, and my sickly son died. But you would never have thought that he had a mistress outside.]

[These people are very rich, but their money is hidden in their homes. No one knows about it.]

Luo Er raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Xuanwu, "Grandpa Emperor, you definitely don't know. Any one of them has at least two million taels of silver in their home."

"Some people even have assets worth tens of millions."

Luo Er sighed slightly, "In fact, none of the ministers in this court are poor."

[Humph, Yun Hong alone earned nearly one million taels of silver in his seven years in office.

At that time, the Marquis's Mansion was in decline. In the early years, the old lady did not manage the shop properly and owed a lot of money.

Yun Hong entered the officialdom when he was forty-three years old. During his seven years in officialdom, he not only paid off his debts, but also allowed his mistress to spend money like water.

Even now, there are still a lot of coffin money hidden in the family, at least more than 10,000 taels of silver. ]

Emperor Xuanwu's pupils shrank slightly, his fingertips trembled, and his heart suddenly sank.

He thought that most of the people in the court should be loyal and honest, and his family was indeed poor. Many officials would only bring one servant with them when they went to court.

He was terrified when he heard that there were at least two million silver coins in the family.

If someone else said this, she would definitely not believe it.

But these words were said by Luo'er, so they are quite credible.

It's just a little unbelievable...

Everyone was also shocked and couldn't believe it. "How could these people have so much money?"

"That minister last time was also very poor, wasn't he? When his property was confiscated, didn't he find several million taels of silver?" Luo'er said.

Everyone was silent for a long time, and Emperor Xuanwu couldn't help but slam the table, "I really want to... kill them all one by one!"

"It doesn't have to be..."

Luo Er smiled and said, "Grandpa Emperor, please take me to the morning court tomorrow."

Emperor Xuanwu was startled. What did this child want to do? However, Luo'er was completely different from other children.

She is kind and sweet, but she can control her temper when she shouldn't.

At the morning court the next day, Emperor Xuanwu prepared a lot of snacks that Luo'er liked.

"Do you have any questions about the food crisis facing soldiers on the border?" Emperor Xuanwu asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, I think the tax should be increased. Now that the people have received the grace of the court, the grain in their homes should be produced soon."

"At this moment, we should increase taxes. This way, the soldiers on the border will have enough food and clothes to wear."

When Emperor Xuanwu heard these repetitive words, he was so angry that he wanted to reshuffle the court.

However, it is not so easy to replace the ministers in the court.

These people were carefully selected and were originally good people.

Most people still keep their original intentions, but they are blinded by money.

"Aren't you very rich? I see that each of you has assets worth millions of taels of silver.

Otherwise, each of you can take out some, so that the frontier soldiers will have enough food." Luo'er ate the cakes with a smile.

Everyone was startled, and the little brat spoke again.

Damn, every time this little brat opens his mouth, I feel like all kinds of things are going to happen in the court.

"What the little princess said is true. You are officials appointed by the imperial court. Why do you always want to exploit the people? I don't want too many of you. Each minister should take out 10,000 taels of silver to deal with the emergency." Emperor Xuanwu said softly.

"Your Majesty, I have already said this at the morning court yesterday. We really do not have the money. We do not even have the money to repair the dilapidated parts of our house."

The first person to cry poor was the prime minister.

Then, many people started to cry poor, "Your Majesty, I am really struggling to make ends meet. I can't even pay the monthly salaries of my servants."

"Yes, my family is indeed in financial difficulty. The monthly salary given by the Emperor is only enough to cover the basic expenses of our family."

Luo'er and Emperor Xuanwu's ears became numb from crying so much about being poor.

[Oh my god, it's such a pity that you guys don't go to film. I give up! You're such a stingy person, you don't even spend a penny.]

[Don't think I don't know how you collect money. Merchants and ordinary people are your targets.

If the Emperor knew how you make money, he would probably chop you into pieces.]

"No money, right?"

Luo Er narrowed her eyes, "So how much property do you have in your family? Eunuch Liu, go and count it. After the count, ask them to put their fingerprints on it."

Everyone's breathing held as they thought of the innocent people who were shot last time.

I always felt that there was something fishy going on, but no one in the court, whether civil or military, could guess what this little kid who was just over one year old was thinking.

Eunuch Liu was also confused on the spot, and couldn't help but ask, "What is the princess's intention in calculating this?"

Emperor Xuanwu was also confused. There were more than a hundred people in the room, and it felt like they were no match for a single child.

However, Emperor Xuanwu always felt that Luo'er would definitely have a way to solve this problem.

She nodded immediately, "Don't ask, just do as she says."
