349 Big sticks with sweet dates?

Under the screams of that dragon official, he was dragged out by a group of guards, and Minister Ernest had no choice, after all, Mu Xiaoxiao had bypassed his life, but is there a difference between being demoted to a civilian and being executed? Either way, they cut off their own wings, and these are all deliberate on the part of His Majesty?

Earnest turned his head slightly, and saw Mu Xiaoxiao's mysterious smile, and he couldn't understand it.

"Okay, don't worry about his affairs anymore," Seeing that the hall was quiet in an instant, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, his eyes scanned over the bodies of those officials, and seeing that every official who was being watched by himself couldn't help but lower his head, he curled the corners of his mouth, "So, what is the reason for the emptiness of the treasury?" Or did someone steal the treasury? ”

"Your Majesty!" Minister Earnest couldn't help but step out, "Since Kenny is Chancellor of the Exchequer, then I think this responsibility should be his." ”

"Minister Earnest is right," Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at Minister Kenny, who was silent, and then changed his words, "But since there has been an official who has overstepped his position, there must be a lot of people here who have tampered with the treasury without permission, right?" Or use the treasury to enrich yourself? ”

β€œβ€

This time, even Minister Earnest didn't dare to answer anymore, and shrank back without saying a word.

"Well, it's useless to say this," seeing that everyone didn't dare to speak again, the previous example deeply illustrated that the gun shot the first bird, Mu Xiaoxiao, who saw this scene, smiled slightly, "Now you should think about how to solve the empty treasury." ”

"Your Majesty is right," another official stepped out and suggested. The subordinate thinks. Civilians in the imperial capital can be levied. In the past, this was the case, and the treasury could be replenished as quickly as possible. ”

Is this guy stupid? Everyone who heard this muttered in their hearts, it was obvious how could His Majesty possibly agree to this method? really

"The idea was established immediately, but it was only effective in the past, didn't it?" Mu Xiaoxiao stood up and walked slowly under the nervous gaze of this dragon official, "Since you have all tried many times, I think the civilians of the imperial capital must have been almost squeezed dry by you, right?" ”

β€œβ€

"So this method doesn't work," Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. He walked around the official kneeling in the middle, and suddenly smiled, "Huh? Since those civilians can't squeeze oil and water, I think you must have a lot of oil and water, right? ”

β€œοΌβ€ Everyone who heard this was shocked.

"After all, you are all loyal courtiers of the Empire, and for the future of the Empire, donating some fundraising is nothing, right?" Mu Xiaoxiao leaned into the official's ear, "Or are you not loyal to the empire?!" ”

All the officials began to look at each other.

The corners of Mu Xiaoxiao's mouth curled, and he stretched out his finger and pointed at the minister above, "You should learn from Minister Onest." Even the ministers are willing to donate one-third of their assets for the future of the empire and for the sake of the empire's river crabs. Look at how loyal people are! Minister Earnest is your example! But what about you? Here, my mother-in-law's mother-in-law wants you a little money as much as I want your life."

Mu Xiaoxiao began to retreat in front of everyone's eyes, and Minister Earnest above opened his mouth in shock, looking at Mu Xiaoxiao who was talking eloquently below, Minister Earnest's face turned red like a monkey's ass, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I didn't say"

"Huh?!" Mu Xiaoxiao screamed violently, turned his head, and had an exaggerated and magnified expression of shock on his face, several times more shocked than Ornest, as if he had heard some unbelievable words, "Minister Ornest, what did you just say?" ”

This expression, as if Minister Earnest said the three words "I didn't say" just now how sad and disappointed he was, seeing Mu Xiaoxiao's expression, Minister Earnest seemed to be stuck in his throat, and finally glanced at it for a long time before he spit out a few words, "I am willing to donate one-third of my property for the empire"

After saying this, Minister Earnest suddenly felt that he was ten years old, if he was not still in the main hall, he might not be able to help crying, seeing that even Minister Earnest was soft, those officials naturally did not hesitate anymore, and raised their hands to vote.

"I do!"

"I do, too!"

"All for the Empire!"

"Hmm," Mu Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Kenny, then turned to look at Minister Earnest and said with a smile, "Don't worry too much about what you said just now, Minister, as an important minister of the Empire, how can you let you spend so much?" It's too impersonal to think about one-third, so only one-tenth is enough, what do you think, minister? ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hearing this, Minister Ornest, who was originally resentful of Mu Xiaoxiao, immediately showed a look of surprise, and those grievances disappeared, and then he knelt on the ground with difficulty and performed a four-like etiquette, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Well, that's all for today's meeting, Kenny, you can keep an account!" Mu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, muttering that the policy of sticks and sweet dates is really useful, and left the hall with a wave of his hand, leaving a bunch of officials waiting for Chancellor of the Exchequer Kenny to keep accounts.

In the study room in the palace, Mu Xiaoxiao was sitting in his position, and after a while, a knock on the door came in.

"Bang bang bang-"

"Your Majestyβ€”"

"Come in," Mu Xiaoxiao watched the door be opened, and quickly stood up, "Kenny Qing is here?" Have you already taken care of your accounts? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," the man knelt on the ground and nodded, "This time, thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, we were able to dig out a piece of meat from these misers who usually eat people and don't spit out bones."

"It's good if it can be solved," Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, "As for the fundraising of the treasury, let's put it on my side for the time being, after all, most of the officials are still under the control of Minister Earnest now, and this money is used as a preparation just in case, and if it is put back, there will be no chance to exploit them next time." ”

That's right, the fundraising from those treasury was thrown into the space package by Mu Xiaoxiao.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Kenny immediately said with a happy face, suddenly remembered something, and said hesitantly, "It's just that Your Majesty, the subordinates can't figure out why Your Majesty has decided to donate one-third of his assets before, why Your Majesty again"

After all, the difference between one-third and one-tenth is too big for Kenny to understand.

"Well, although I temporarily suppressed Minister Earnest on the top of the main hall this time, do you think he will be solved so easily?" Mu Xiaoxiao stood up, "Minister Ernest is also an excellent conspirator, ambitious and peeping at the entire imperial capital, his henchmen are too many, if we do too much, it will cause him to be dissatisfied, causing him to make a ruthless decision to break the jar and break it, and now we are still weak and can't confront him head-on." ”

"Dogs will jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, let alone the big tiger of Earnest? So, I just took it when I saw it today, got it Kenny? ”

"Yes! The subordinate got it! ”

"Well, after you get the money to raise funds, let's improve the imperial capital, especially in the civilian area, I have been away for so long, I always feel a little sorry for them."

"Yes, Your Majesty, but," Kenny paused, hesitated before saying, "That's just a drop in the bucket, the taxes of the imperial capital are due to Minister Earnest and others, and the atmosphere of the imperial capital, etc."

"I know, after all, the imperial capital has made them rotten for so many years, and it is not easy to solve it, I will find a way to solve it at the next court meeting, don't worry!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Kenny had a happy expression on his face when he heard Mu Xiaoxiao say this, "The Empire has such a wise and sage Your Majesty, I think we will definitely be able to reproduce the glory of our ancestors!" (To be continued......)
