"You have lost a total of four thousand three hundred and forty-six thousand seven hundred and twenty-one taels."

When this number smashed into Xiao Chen's heart, his pupils suddenly constricted: "What, how come?" "When he first gambled, he only heard the three-two opening and didn't care.

For him, three taels of silver is nothing, he has thought about it, even if he loses more, at most it is a few thousand taels of silver, how can it be more than 40 million.

Yin Yin leaned a little closer to him and said, "Xiao Chen, do you know what this silver represents?" This is half a year's tax revenue from the state treasury. Do you know where Xiao Guo's taxes come from?

This tax mainly comes from the peasants, do you know what the peasants do? Do you know how hard they have to work in order to pay enough taxes? Do you know what Xiao Guo is doing with these taxes? Taxes, taken from the people, used by the people. And now, you have lost money, and we as parents naturally can't ignore it, but where does our money come from?

We can only take so much silver from the treasury, but what will they do if we pay off your gambling debts? What should Xiao Guo do?

Xiao Chen, you are already twelve years old, not young. When your father abdicates, you have to take his place, but how do you do it? Could it be that you want to be a dead monarch, and let the Xiao Kingdom, which has been inherited for so many years, be destroyed in your hands? ”

Yin Yin's words were like a stone weighing a thousand gold, smashing on Xiao Chen's heart.

He was stunned, at a loss, and panicked, it was a panic that he had never felt before, a fear that came out of his heart.

Since his father became the emperor, since he became the crown prince, Xiao Chen knew that he would become the emperor one day.

He is an idle character, and he thinks that many places may not be good, but he regards becoming an emperor in the future as his responsibility, and he has never thought of giving up.

He thought that he was actually not smart, let alone able to govern the country, and he could not be a prosperous monarch, but he would learn to distinguish between right and wrong, keep the country well, and pass it on to the next generation.

But he didn't expect that he would be stupid today.

He came to the gambling house to gamble and lost more than 40 million taels of silver, so he naturally couldn't take out so much silver, but just as the queen mother said, the father and the queen mother had no way to ignore him, and they must have helped him pay off his debts.

But more than 40 million taels of silver, equivalent to half a year's tax revenue of Xiao State, if it is used to pay off gambling debts for him, what will happen to the people of Xiao State?

My father had just ascended the throne, and the government was not yet stable, so if I took out so much money at once, the ministers would definitely have opinions, which would be extremely unfavorable to my father.

And the queen mother, as his mother, connived at him to gamble in the gambling house, and lost so much money, and she would definitely be impeached by the minister.

He harmed the people of Xiao State, his father, the emperor, and the queen mother who loved him.

Xiao Chen, who figured out all the relationships, turned pale and trembled all over.

He wanted to say that he was wrong, but he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, as if he had suddenly lost his voice.

But he couldn't think of what he could do to save the situation.

Yin Yin looked at him like this, and the anger in his heart finally dropped a little, and pulled him behind him: "Think about it." ”

As he spoke, Yin Yin looked at the steward and made a move that no one expected.

"This steward, I want to bet with you too." As soon as Yin Yin's words came out, the gambling house was silent for a moment, especially the housekeeper, who was instantly stunned.

The steward looked at Xiao Gan, but Xiao Gan at this time did not dare to look at him.
