Chapter 250: The Dark Snow Army's military expenses are in hand, and the Snowy Night Emperor levies additional taxes

These mobs, who were supposed to belong to the underworld, are now lined up neatly one by one, and everyone has received their share of money in a very orderly manner.

Everyone in the Dark Snow Army laughed at this moment.

It's just that such a smile fell in the eyes of the prime minister, but it made him even more disgusted, and naturally he didn't have a good impression of these bandit-like people, and suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, since the money has been given to you, you will naturally have to do things well when you go to the border of the empire next."

"Otherwise, not only will the rest of the money not be given to you, but you will also be restored to your status as a criminal, I don't think this is the situation you want to see, right?"

The Prime Minister's tone was very stern, but the people in the Dark Snow Army didn't seem to mind very much, but they all laughed at this time: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, since we got the money, we will definitely do things well, this is our rule."

But the prime minister still didn't have the anger to let them leave quickly.

When the prime minister returned to the palace, he saw the Emperor of the Snowy Night sighing with a sad face.

"Your Majesty, I've sent them all away."

The prime minister said to the Snowy Night Emperor with a serious face, but the Snowy Night Emperor's mood did not change for the better.

As the most powerful person around the Snow Night Emperor, the prime minister will naturally stand up and help the Snow Night Emperor solve problems when he sees him in difficulty.

"I wonder what else makes you frown?"

"Ugh."

The Snowy Night Emperor sighed: "What else, this war has brought in a lot of money, and just now it gave them more than 10 million, this time, the treasury is really empty."

As soon as he thought of this, the Snow Night Emperor followed with a sad face, the current Heaven Dou Empire may need money at any time, but the money in the treasury is about to run out, if something really happens, doesn't it mean that the Snow Night Emperor will lose his prestige in the next period of time.

After all, before this, in order to cultivate Xue Qinghe, the Snow Night Emperor even handed over many of the rights in his hands to Xue Qinghe, and he only grasped the core power of being an emperor.

Therefore, in the hearts of the people, they know much more about Xue Qinghe than they do about the Snow Night Emperor.

But no one thought that his most proud son would be pretended to be by someone else, which was of course an unacceptable thing for the Snow Night Emperor.

But more importantly, if he, as an emperor, can't take out the money when he needs to, others will definitely lose their trust in him.

After hearing the confusion of the Snowy Night Emperor, the prime minister suddenly laughed.

"It turns out that Your Majesty is only worried about this little thing, these things are not a big deal, if Your Majesty wants to solve it, the best way is to collect taxes from the people."

"What?"

The Snowy Night Emperor was taken aback.

Collecting taxes is indeed a good way to make money, but it can also cost you a lot of popularity.

His image in the hearts of the people was not very good, and if he continued to raise taxes now, it would definitely make the people complain more about themselves.

But the prime minister showed a serious expression at this time: "Your Majesty, is there anything else you can do?"

"The easiest and most straightforward way to solve the problem of money is to take it from the rich people, and in the entire empire, the richest people are the nobles and commoners."

"But now we still have to rely on the nobles to help the empire fight, so we definitely can't understand the nobles, but when we fight with the Wuhun Palace, aren't we maintaining the existence of the empire, once the empire does not exist, the Wuhun Hall will definitely rule the entire empire."

"Don't forget, the Martial Soul Hall has always been respected for its strength, so those civilians who are not strong will definitely not be regarded as people if they go to the territory ruled by the Martial Soul Palace, and we are helping them avoid such a fate, so it seems that we are defending the civilians instead."

"Since we defend them, of course they should also pay

A certain price."

When the prime minister said this, the Snowy Night Emperor also suddenly fell into deep thought.

But after a while, he finally raised his head again, and showed a serious expression.

"I understand what you mean, but the most important question is, after I do this, will the people still want to follow me as the emperor?"

Whether or not he can stabilize his imperial power is what the Snowy Night Emperor cares about the most now.

But the prime minister was very confident: "Your Majesty, only when the current crisis is resolved, will we have time to free up our hands to solve the problems of the people."

"What's more, if we really defeat the Martial Soul Palace, then all the territory of the Martial Soul Hall will be ours at that time, and we don't know how many benefits we can get."

"As long as we can grasp these benefits firmly, when the time comes, we can leak a little bit out of our fingers, and we can make those people grateful to us."

The prime minister said this with a serious face, and at this moment, the Snowy Night Emperor was finally moved.

"Well, since you said so, then do what you say."

"Pass on my holy decree, from now on, every household will have to pay a war tax, and everyone can pay a silver soul coin."

Although it is said that one Silver Soul Coin is not much, but the people of the entire empire add up to hundreds of millions of people, and together they are tens of millions of Golden Soul Coins, which will definitely relieve a lot of pressure on the empire in a short period of time.

Of course, in order to appease the people, when the prime minister issued the order, he also analyzed the stakes for the people, if the people were willing to give this money, the rule of the Tiandou Empire could continue, and if the people were reluctant to give money, then they could be ruled by the Wuhun Hall at any time.

By that time, the people of the Martial Spirit Hall would not have been so merciful to them.

After such brainwashing, the people did not resist much, and after each handed over the money, the treasury became full again.

On the other side, on the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, outside Tianluo Pass, the Martial Spirit Hall suddenly found that there seemed to be a new force on the side of Tianluo Pass.

Although the clothes on these people were all the military uniforms of the Heaven Dou Empire, their strength was much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire.

And they are extremely ruthless when they shoot, although they will not put people to death, but they can also make the soul master lose their combat effectiveness for a period of time, and they are clearly aimed at the soul master of the Wuhun Palace.

This gave Bibi Dong a headache.
