Chapter 90 The Little Prince Shoots Himself in the Foot

After a few days of leisure, the third prince Xuanyuan Siqi finally came to the door. He led a large group of people, holding the account books of the Ministry of Revenue in his hands, and came to the East Palace in a mighty manner.

"Your Highness, the Third Prince has come with a group of people from the Ministry of Revenue, saying they are here to work?" Xiao Dezi looked at the uninvited guests in surprise, wondering: Why did the Third Prince come to visit so suddenly? Doesn't he know that our prince needs to rest and recuperate? And he actually brought so many people and the account books of the Ministry of Revenue, which is really confusing.

At this moment, the little prince suddenly realized an important thing - he seemed to have forgotten to teach his third brother those simple calculation methods. He had only been busy eating, drinking and having fun, and had completely forgotten about this matter. I guess his third brother must have been impatient, so he came to urge him so impatiently.

"What are you waiting for? Please invite the third brother in immediately!" the little prince ordered hurriedly.

In the East Palace, sunlight shines through the exquisitely carved window lattices onto the desk. The young crown prince Xuanyuan Ruize sits upright at the table, his small face full of concentration. At this moment, the third prince Xuanyuan Siqi is leading several officials from the Ministry of Revenue to surround him, watching the young crown prince's every move with interest.

Xuanyuan Ruize picked up a brush and wrote a few simple numbers on the paper. His voice was clear but steady: "Look, these are the numbers we can use. Through them, we can clearly record the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue."

Then, he picked up the pen and drew a neat table on the paper. "What next?" Xuanyuan Ruize looked up at Xuanyuan Siqi and the Ministry of Revenue officials.

"We can fill in different account categories into this form, so that the income and expenditure can be clearly seen at a glance."

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the third prince Xuanyuan Siqi, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Third brother, you are so awesome!" He didn't expect that Xuanyuan Ruize could come up with such a good way to solve the problem.

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue also nodded, with expressions of amazement on their faces. One of the officials said with emotion: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is so smart that he can come up with such a clever way to sort out the accounts. It is really a blessing for our dynasty!"

Other officials also echoed: "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince is so smart. This method is both simple and practical. Our Ministry of Revenue's work will be much easier in the future!" They whispered to each other, admiring the little prince's wisdom.

Xuanyuan Ruize smiled slightly, his small body radiating confidence: "Actually, these are not difficult. As long as we think carefully, we can always find a better way. In the future, we will use this method to manage the Ministry of Revenue's account books to make the Ministry of Revenue's finances clearer."

His words were like a spring breeze that blew away the haze in everyone's hearts. Everyone expressed their desire to learn from the young prince and work hard to improve their ability to handle affairs.

In the palace, the sound of praise echoed for a long time, as if telling of the extraordinary wisdom and responsibility of the little prince. And Xuanyuan Ruize taught everyone the method of accounting and left.

When the Third Prince saw the little prince leave, he continued to work hard, carefully sorting out the account books of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Everyone, hurry up and work. Let's see if there are any problems. Once there are no problems, we will go back! The prince also needs to rest."

"It's His Royal Highness the Third Prince. It's us who are useless. We still need to ask the Crown Prince for advice."

These officials from the Ministry of Revenue initially looked down on the little prince, but now they feel inferior to him and are very ashamed.

Everyone now admired the little prince very much, and after returning, they all helped to spread the word about him. Even the officials from the Ministry of Revenue reported the matter to Emperor Xuanyuan at the morning court and requested to build a palace for the prince.

"Your Majesty, today His Royal Highness the Crown Prince taught the officials of the Ministry of Revenue a new accounting method. This method is much simpler than the previous method and saves a lot of time. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really talented!"

When Xuanyuan Ruize heard the news, he was really shocked. He had been looking forward to being abolished! Could it be that these things were asking for trouble?

Fortunately, in response to the praise from the Ministry of Revenue, Emperor Xuanyuan simply said, "Not bad, this is the responsibility of a prince." Then there was no further news. The little prince was really afraid that Emperor Xuanyuan would suddenly assign him other tasks, after all, he had not enjoyed a leisurely life enough!

[No, I still have to faint once in a while, or spit out blood.] The little prince thought to himself.

The little prince's plan did not go as planned. Not long after, Emperor Xuanyuan summoned him again.

"Your son pays homage to His Majesty, Father." The little prince knelt down and saluted.

"Get up. I heard recently that you taught the officials of the Ministry of Revenue how to keep accounts, and it was very effective." Emperor Xuanyuan said with a smile.

The little prince's heart tightened, as he had indeed come.

"I want to test you. If you can answer it, you will be rewarded." Emperor Xuanyuan continued.

The little prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a question and answer session. He should be able to handle it.

"Excuse me, father, what is taxation?" Emperor Xuanyuan asked.

The young prince thought for a moment and replied, "Taxes are the source of the country's finances. They are taken from the people and used for the people."

Emperor Xuanyuan nodded and asked, "How do we ensure fair taxation?"

The young prince thought for a moment and replied, "We need to formulate reasonable tax laws, enforce them fairly, and eliminate corruption."

Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes flashed with admiration, "Very good. Then do you know how to promote the country's economic development?"

The young prince answered confidently: "We can encourage commerce, develop agriculture, and strengthen scientific and technological innovation."

Emperor Xuanyuan smiled with satisfaction, "You are worthy of being my son. I have decided to give you a new manor as a reward."

The young prince was secretly delighted when he heard this. What he lacked now was land, the more the better. But on the surface, he pretended to be calm and thanked the emperor, saying, "Thank you very much, father, for the reward."
