"Huh!"

Shen Jiaojiao's words made everyone snort coldly in unison, feeling that Shen Jiaojiao actually asked such a question, which was really long hair and short knowledge.

Although she is young and has not experienced any wars, she must read some books, right?

I don't know anything, my head is full of rouge and gouache, how can I be the emperor who rules the whole country?

Thinking of this, some people even began to miss Ji Chongdao, feeling that although Ji Chongdao was also unreliable, he would not ask such an idiotic question.

Although he doesn't go to court and doesn't govern the country, he won't just think about it.

Let them deal with it, and they can also get a lot of oil and water.

Almost everyone was mocking Shen Jiaojiao's ignorance, but Shen Jiaojiao didn't care, she knew, there was someone who understood what she meant.

Listening to the mocking laughter in his ears and looking at Shen Jiaojiao's indifferent face, the old man was startled, and his back was cold.

Since when did they forget one thing completely?

He used to be a common man.

The common people are not dead things, they are not lambs to the slaughter, but huge beasts sealed away.

If you treat them well, they will support you and be happy to make you their slave and provide them with a stable environment.

Correspondingly, they will give you great glory, power, and money.

But as a slave, if you get carried away, you can't see the sheer size of this beast.

Insatiable desire to pluck its blood, eat its flesh, and trample it under its feet without fear, it will one day be counterattacked.

Like them once were, new dragon slayers will spring up and cut off their heads with hatred.

If they can't satisfy the common people, the common people will look for a new slave.

And how long has it been, he has forgotten, they have forgotten.

Everyone was laughing, but they didn't understand that what they were doing now was to provoke the people and dance on the line of death.

Clenched his fists and closed his eyes.

Listening to everyone's ridicule with Shen Jiaojiao, it wasn't until the others found it boring that the old man slowly stood up.

Shen Jiaojiao got up and helped her, stood beside the old man and smiled slightly, glancing at everyone.

I was relieved to find that not everyone didn't understand what she meant, and a few people lowered their heads and showed pensive looks.

Remembering those few people, Shen Jiaojiao helped the old man to stand firm.

After standing firmly, the old prince looked at his brothers on the battlefield, "According to what Your Majesty said, except for the necessary taxes, those messy halls are gone." ”

"What?!" The crowd's eyes widened as they didn't understand what was going on.

"What do we eat without taxes? Really let us go farming with these old bones? ”

"That is, we are the heroes of the country!"

"What's wrong with overtaxing? Without us, how could the people live so comfortably? ”

"That's it, that's not what I said when I first fought the world!"

"Enough!" The old man stopped everyone's gossip, "I don't know you yet, you are all gambling houses and restaurants, and you still need to farm?" ”

"Even if there is no tax, you can live a nourishing life, not to mention just letting you collect a little less, which is unbearable?"

"You are so angry that you make less money, and the people are robbed of money from your pockets every day, are they angry? I'm afraid they're going to hate us to death! ”

"Old man, that's not right." Someone in the crowd objected, "If it weren't for us, the people would have been displaced a long time ago, and they would still have a good life today?" ”

"But have the people treated you badly?" The old man coughed angrily, "Didn't you get a reward?" Do you have to be forced by the people to rebel, are you satisfied? ”

"Don't you understand the truth of the long stream? If you drink all the human blood, the common people are fools, and people are happy?! ”

Lao Guogong's words caused everyone to be dissatisfied, "What drink blood, why do you say it so ugly?" ”

"If you want to rebel, do they have the ability?"

"Old Guogong, you are too old and afraid."

"Yes!" The old man nodded, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid!" ”

"I'm afraid that the people will be desperate and turn against Dawu, I'm afraid that because of my greed, my descendants will die under the knife of others, and I'm afraid that we will become sinners of Dawu through the ages!"

He often read the history books on the fair days of the old country, and he knew that the people were not sheep who blindly tolerate, and he knew that the beginning of the fall of any dynasty was to oppress the people, and dreamed that he could be eternal.

But most of the old marquis are big and coarse, don't know a few big characters, and have a headache when they read a book.

Since the feudal marquis, he only knows how to eat, drink and enjoy, but now his brain is eaten by wine and meat, and he only cares about the interests of the acre and three points of land in front of him, and the others don't want to listen to it, and they can't understand it.

The crowd was silent for a while, and someone couldn't help but mutter, "How can it be...... It's just a little tax, all the fuss. ”

"You ......" Seeing that the old man was almost angry by everyone, Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly helped him sit down, "Don't be angry, I will persuade a few old marquis." ”

"Then let Your Majesty give these old fellows a good lesson."

"Hmm."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded and came to the side of the marquis, "Since the marquis likes to collect taxes, then I also collect taxes, how about it?" ”

didn't understand what Shen Jiaojiao meant, and everyone didn't dare to take a stubble.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't care, she pointed directly to the ground, "You see, this ground is a good green brick, and there is a special person to clean it every day. ”

"Ten taels of silver, and those who don't pay taxes can't step on green bricks."

Shen Jiaojiao said, and really asked Yu'er to go down to collect taxes.

Everyone had no choice but to obediently pay ten taels each, after all, there was no way to stand in the air and go to court, right?

Looking at the silver taels that Yu'er received, Shen Jiaojiao was very satisfied, "It seems that all Aiqing likes to pay taxes very much." ”

"In that case, let's pay for the cleaning fee, after all, I also spent a lot of silver taels to reward my subordinates."

"Everyone...... Thirty taels. ”

Shen Jiaojiao said, Yu'er went down to collect the money again, this time many people had already felt the pain in their flesh, and they hesitated when they gave out the money.

However, everyone didn't want Shen Jiaojiao to find an excuse to reduce taxes, so they still gritted their teeth and paid it.

Looking at the mountain-like silver taels on the dragon case, Shen Jiaojiao smiled with great satisfaction, "I'm really embarrassed to accept so much silver from everyone, I'm thirsty for standing for so long, right?" ”

"Recently, Xingong's pre-rain Longjing, I can't drink it alone, so I invite everyone to taste it together."

The mouths of the people were dry, and when they saw the fragrant green tea, they didn't think much about it, and they took the tea and tasted it.

But at this time, Shen Jiaojiao's faint voice sounded again, "This is tribute tea, whether it is picking, transporting, or preserving, it costs a lot." ”

"Do you want to pay some more taxes?"
