Sooner or later, mankind will perish in his own hands, I don't know which great man said this, but just looking at the domineering medicinal properties of "Ten Miles of Fragrance", Ye Ming felt that this sentence was really reasonable.

Within less than twenty minutes of Ye Ming's poisoning, the chemical poison "Ten Miles of Fragrance" quickly spread through the reservoir of the First Water Plant to nearly a quarter of the inner city of the Imperial Capital of the Sequoia Empire.

At first, it was just some people who often came into contact with water resources in their daily lives, but Ye Ming would never have thought of it before he was poisoned.

The cistern that he poisoned was not only responsible for the household water of some of the great nobles, but also the main source of water for the fountains in all the squares of the inner city.

"Mom~"

A young Imperial maiden ran past the fountain, and the water falling from the fountain hit the surface of the water and caused a new splash, and a few drops of water happened to fall on the girl's pretty face.

"Run slowly and be careful of falling."

The girl's mother looked very young, and from the luxurious outfit alone, she could tell that the other party must be a member of the family of a great nobleman.

At this time, she was carrying her skirt, smiling helplessly and chasing after the lively and lovely girl in front of her.

"Cluck, cluck."

The girl who was running was very happy to see that her mother couldn't catch up with her, and finally, tired of running, she stopped, and then turned around and threw herself into her mother's warm embrace.

"If you don't obey, I won't take you out to play anymore."

The mother's finger lightly touched the girl's forehead, which made the girl laugh louder.

"It's itchy."

At this moment, the girl's crescent-like eyes suddenly opened, and then she pouted and reached out to scratch the forehead that her mother had pointed, and then she was out of control.

Seeing that there were red scratches on her daughter's forehead, the mother exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly grabbed her daughter's somewhat reddened little hand, and then subconsciously scratched the back of her hand.

It's so itchy, I want to scratch it......

However, the young woman who had just said that she had her daughter forcibly endured this thought, after all, she was desperately scratching the itch in front of the public, and this kind of behavior was really unnoble.

If they are accidentally seen by a member of the competing family, they will definitely say that their mother and daughter are uneducated at the ball of the nobles the next day.

The young woman gritted her teeth, and held her daughter's little hand tightly with both hands while patiently scratching the itchy **.

There is no light or heavy hand in the child's hand, can the girl's face be scratched casually?

But the next moment, a picture appeared in front of her eyes that she couldn't believe, and her daughter's pretty face that could be broken was actually puffed up with a crystal clear little pimple at this time!

Oh my God, my daughter must know best when she is a mother, and she is definitely not at the age of pimples.

Could it be that I was accidentally bitten by a bug just now?

Just when the young woman's heart was alive, and she had even begun to worry about her daughter's appearance when she grew up, the girl who had been holding her mother's hands suddenly exclaimed.

"Mom, your face."

The girl in front of her suddenly became surprised, and the young woman subconsciously let go of her hands, and then instinctively reached out to touch her cheek.

There are bumps everywhere at the beginning, what happened to my face that I have cared for since I was a child?

But then on her daughter's face, she seemed to see a mirror, only to see that the girl's face suddenly bulged with dense small chickenpox, and the chickenpox visibly expanded rapidly, and then exploded with a "bang", bringing out a piece of crystal liquid and a small amount of blood.

Not only that, but small chickenpox began to bulge on the exposed skin of the two, and the mother and daughter, who were still enviable, became blurred flesh and blood in a blink of an eye.

"Ah!!!h

The screams of the mother and daughter rang out almost at the same time, but by this time the square was already in chaos, and the bloody people were scattered, and no one could care about the poor noble mother and daughter.

At the same time, in the palace of the Sequoia Empire, in the study, although Bai Hao, who had just been crowned not long ago, was not mature enough in terms of physiognomy, just looking at this person's words and deeds would exude undoubted imperial majesty.

On the heavy mahogany desk, Bai Hao looked at the crystal monitor in front of him and hugged his hands in front of his chest, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle together.

The contents of the files on the monitor are not a secret, not only the Sequoia Empire, but also the economic situation of the Ten Empires has always been criticized.

Although the annual revenue is astronomical, the annual expenditure is also astronomical because of the huge military expenses to maintain.

And as the inheritance of the empire grows longer and longer, those members of the royal family who have nothing to do every day, as well as the annual annuity expenses of various large and small nobles.

Even the Sequoia Empire, which has the strongest overall strength among the ten major empires, will inevitably become more and more bloated, and even the balance of payments is a little unable to maintain.

When he was not the emperor, Bai Hao's thoughts every day were to sit in this position, and then command the invincible iron army of the empire to break through the gates of all countries in the world and bring the whole world under the rule of the empire.

But after really sitting in this position, Bai Hao's growth was very rapid, as if he had changed from the original war maniac to a qualified ruler in an instant.

Money! Money! Lack of money! Lack of a lot of money!

Because of all kinds of unnecessary points, the finances of the empire were already in jeopardy at this time.

To put it mildly, the Sequoia Empire at this time is like a giant that is seriously ill and may collapse at any time.

And because of the lack of money, the empire's investment in civil affairs has reached the lowest level in a century, and even several facilities in some remote areas have reached the point of disrepair and may be dangerous at any time.

But it can't be helped!

Although Bai Hao is the emperor of the empire, although in the eyes of everyone in the world, he controls life and death in the empire, but only those who do this position will understand that this position is really hot.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the most powerful aristocratic ministers of the empire, who receive the empire's annuity every year, actually like to make some small calculations behind their backs.

If it weren't for the fact that the military power was firmly in his hands, I am afraid that the empire would already be in turmoil before the war with the outside world.

And there is actually another reason for the war launched against the neutral zone this time that no one knows.

That is to divert the attention of all the people and nobles within the empire, so that everyone can focus on the war, so that they can subconsciously ignore the deficit of the empire's finances.

"I still remember that a few years ago, despite the opposition of all ministers, nobles and allies, my father advocated an invasion of the neutral zone, and it really deserves to be my father, it seems that the empire's economy has already had problems."

Bai Hao closed his eyes and rubbed his somewhat swollen temples with his hands.

Thankfully, not all the bad news he faced, and the victories from the front line eased his mood a bit.

When the neutral zone is completely captured, those who oppose it will take the initiative to shut up when they get the benefits!
