"With the taxes distributed this year, we have to pay a total of 500,000 spirit crystals!" The Minister replied.

"Then how many thousand spirit crystals can we produce in a year in Fenglan Country?" Yan Guiyi asked again and again.

"Over the years, the harvest has not been good, and the whole country is less than 1.5 million spirit crystals!" The minister replied again.

Hearing this, Yan Guiyi's brows suddenly furrowed even tighter, and even Su Junbao took a breath!

"After all, it is necessary to hand over one-third of the harvest of a vassal country, and this is only the part that is simply handed over to the Central Empire, and if other taxes are added, what can be kept in the hands of the people, I am afraid that it is less than one-third." Su Junbao, who had been silent, rarely asked.

"The national teacher is wise, it is exactly like this, so over the years, our Fenglan country has become more and more embarrassed! Now I don't even know where to get money, and this is not only our Fenglan Country, but also most of the vassal countries of the Northern Regions Mangyuan every year. The minister replied.

The other ministers also smiled bitterly, and Su Junbao hugged Rouge and frowned silently.

He can beat people to pulp with one punch, but he can't help a subject country get a bunch of money with one punch.

"...... this?"

Yan Guiyi looked a little overwhelmed at this time, after all, he was seven years old and had just become pro-government, where had he been exposed to these things on weekdays? For governing the country, he is simply a rookie.

"What do you think?" Yan Guiyi looked at Su Junbao and saw that he didn't speak, so he could only ask the minister again.

"I really can't do it, I can only use the reserves of the treasury and survive this year before making plans!" The Minister replied.

"No!"

Meng Tiande was the first to stand up and object: "The reserves of the treasury are used to pay military salaries, and if they are used to pay taxes, what will happen to the military salaries in the coming year?" If the army's morale is unstable, the country will be in chaos, Your Majesty! ”

"Paying taxes is the top priority right now, General Meng, do you know what the consequences of offending Hanhai City will be if you can't complete the taxes? At that time, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to save our lives! The minister did not back down.

The quarrel of several important ministers did not come to a result!

"Your Majesty!"

Just when the two of them were arguing and Yan Gui had nothing to do, a soft voice came out, and it was Li Lu who walked forward and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the sinner girl has a plan, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Li Lu asked.

"Say!" Yan Guiyi stared at her.

"Taxation is a major matter of the country, and it cannot be delayed at all, but at present, the people are suffering and cannot be collected, and it is also a helpless move, but this time the Lin Tong family rebelled, they were a rich and noble family for many years. Li Lu said softly.

"I'm afraid they're not the only ones who are looting the people's fat and people's ointment, right?" A minister on the side snorted coldly.

"Master Wei!"

Li Lu turned his head and looked at the other party: "Our Li family is doing legitimate business, every penny can see the light, if you don't believe it, just go and check, of course, this time our Li family is guilty first, and he doesn't care about His Majesty's grace, and the little woman is also willing to share worries about state affairs, there are shortcomings, and the Li family is willing to find ways to make up for it and redeem the merits, but I don't know if Master Wei has a better strategy than this?" Let's hear it! ”

Li Lu's words were neither humble nor arrogant, the minister only snorted coldly, 500,000 spirit crystals is not a small number, what good way can he do, and even if he goes to check, with the means of the Li family, what can he find out?

Yan Guiyi looked at Su Junbao again, and when he saw him nodding, he said: "It's okay, just do what you say, if this matter is done, in the future, this king may let you replace the Li family's original position in the court and become the Minister of Finance of my Fenglan Kingdom!" ”

Yan Guiyi said that this woman is not only scheming, but also very ruthless, and will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, but Yan Guiyi has to admit that sometimes, she works, really works!

He remembered Su Junbao's words even more, as the king of a country, what he needs is someone who can solve problems for himself, and it has nothing to do with preferences, otherwise he, the king, will be in a hurry, as for character, Yan Guiyi will not consider it for the time being, it depends on whether he can control her.

"One more thing!" At this time, an old minister of civil affairs stood up.

"What else?" Yan Guiyi asked, on the first day of the dynasty, what things happened one after another.

"It's not a big deal, it's about the National Capital Academy, Your Majesty, now the snow has begun to melt, and the enrollment of the five-year period of the National Capital Academy is also coming, in previous years, the students in those remote areas were picked up by special personnel sent by the imperial court, these things should have been decided some time ago, but unfortunately it has been delayed, and now it is paid off with Your Majesty's approval!" The Chancellor.

"That's right!"

Yan Gui nodded, and Su Junbao on the side also smiled, he was originally a member of the National Capital Academy, and too many things happened, but he forgot about it a little, and spring arrived in a blink of an eye.

"Now that Meng Tiande is a general, you can discuss it with him, how it was in previous years, how it is this year!" Yan Guiyi said.

"Command!" Meng Tiande stood up and said.

The minister also retreated satisfied.

After getting off the court, Yan Guiyi returned to the room and sat on the chair with a long sigh like a little adult!

"What's the matter, Mother's little majesty, now you are the king of a country, here you have the final say, no one will make trouble for you anymore, whoever you want to clean up, you can clean up whoever you want, what are you sighing about?" Xue Mingfei came over and joked.

"Queen Mother, I didn't know that firewood and rice were expensive before, but I didn't expect our Fenglan Kingdom to be so poor now! It's really hard to be the king of this country! ”

Yan Guiyi mentioned what happened in the court today. After speaking, he sighed again, with a sad face.

"That's it now!"

He spread his hands and said, Li Lu's method may be able to solve the urgent need, but it is not a long-term solution after all, and it is still necessary to find a path that can provide for the sustainable development of Fenglan Country.

"To govern the country, you must first govern the people, you forgot what the big brother taught!"

Xue Mingfei smiled: "As a monarch, you don't have to know everything, and you don't have to do everything yourself, you can find someone who knows how to help you do it, you just need to manage them well, do everything yourself, don't annoy you, you have to be tired to death!" ”

Finding someone who understands is easy to say, but hard to do! Of course, Yan Guiyi understands these truths, where to find them for a while!

"Take your time!"

Xue Ming Concubine only said in the end, after all, Feng Lan Kingdom has just returned to their hands, and the days ahead are still long, at least now there is no need to worry about their lives!

"Speaking of which, what about the national teacher? I haven't seen you since then! Xue Mingfei suddenly remembered at this time.

"He's already gone back to see Sister Yuenu, and they haven't seen each other for a long time!" Yan Guiyi said.

"That's it!" A touch of loss flashed in Xue Mingfei's eyes.
