Apprentice Crit Strike Return: It’s up to you to revitalize the Daomen

Chapter 344
The white-haired Fa Wuxian smiled: "His Royal Highness is joking, the heir of a country has a process of growth, but the old minister has assisted the emperors of the nine dynasties, and they have all been assisted since the time of the prince, and you are no exception. Therefore, today's court meeting It's still up to you to preside over it, and the veterans can wait for assistance."

Lei Potian also spoke, his voice was like thunder rolling in the sky, shaking endlessly in the huge Lingxiao Palace.

"That's right, His Royal Highness, feel free to preside over it, if anything happens, we two old fellows will help you."

Jiang Xiaoliu understands that today's posture is a conspiracy. If the previous difficulties were some tests, then the topic is now. When the emperor can't retreat, the dignified prince needs to be familiar with the government and guarantee the government orders. Smooth flow, coordination of the four parties, more good governance, and development of national power. If it is not done well, then he believes that those who keep supporting him, including the prime minister and the generalissimo, will not be able to get around him first, and will even apply to Ming Tatian to cancel it. The crown prince.

But Jiang Xiaoliu was here to die today, so naturally he wouldn't do what they wanted, and he reckoned that he would drive them crazy with a few words.

The court meeting was just beginning, and Jiang Xiaoliu was sitting on a bone dragon chair brought by the head servant Wang.

According to the usual practice, it is the prime minister who speaks first and announces some major national events to the emperor, such as which place is affected by a disaster, there is a famine, or the border is invaded by ferocious beasts, and the transfer and promotion of high-level officials, etc. Ming Tatian some major military affairs.

The emperor is able to make decisions arbitrarily, which is basically a final decision. If he still can’t make up his mind, he needs to discuss with his officials before making a decision. If he still can’t make a decision, he must either shelve it for further discussion, or ask the prime minister to go down and plan the negotiation carefully. .

The court meeting is generally like this. To put it bluntly, it is a meeting, but because it is the emperor's reason, all the important military affairs are discussed, and some trivial matters will not be heard by the emperor regardless of whether he asks.

But the key problem is that during the thousands of years of Ming Tatian's ascension to the throne, he had to retreat almost from time to time. The military and state affairs were basically left to the shopkeeper, and all were dealt with by the prime minister and the general. He didn't care about it, which led to the eight great families The power is getting bigger and bigger, especially the Legal family and the Lei family, one is in charge of government affairs, the other is in charge of military power, and the two families have been married for thousands of years. There are countless banquets and banquets, and the relationship is so close.

Such a blatant military and political family, which dynasty and generation, which king is extremely taboo, but Ming Tatian doesn't care at all, and concentrates on cultivation. It's a pity that although he works very hard, his talent is limited. Just like the poisonous mind of the underworld, it is the capital of an emperor who is born with the extremely evil laws of the six realms, so it is commendable to cultivate to the half-step Daluo.

This kind of cultivation is impossible to suppress the world, but it is enough to secure the throne, but if it is caused by the joint persecution of the eight great families, Ming Tatian still has to make some concessions, otherwise the throne will not be secure.

In the thousands of years since I didn't go to court, the huge imperial palace is almost the same as the Eastern Palace. It can be said to be riddled with holes, and it is full of people from the eight great families.

But Ming Tatian doesn't care. He is not good at governing the country. As long as the Eight Great Aristocratic Families don't rebel, they can do whatever they want. The ethnic group returned to the ground, and the entire four great empires and the eighteen major Shura races finally invaded the Three Realms, recreating the glory of the Shura clan in ancient times.

The prime minister presided over it, and said loudly: "Everyone, if you have anything to do, just speak up and discuss it."

After receiving Fa Wuxian's signal, the first person who jumped out was the Minister of Rites, Calligraphy Zhongxing.

"His Royal Highness, since ancient times, our extremely evil clan has governed the world with etiquette and the rule of law. Now that the new crown prince has been established, there are no sacrifices or ceremonies. , Your Majesty the Crown Prince, please allocate 1000 million extremely evil spirit stones for the sacrificial ceremony on the first day of next month."

The prime minister didn't speak, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, the marshal looked playful, and Jiang Xiaoliu could tell that this group of people were holding back.

"It's a good thing, Zhun Zuo, the Ministry of Households allocates funds, Fa Zhongxing Shangshu will work harder, and I will leave it to you to handle it."

Jiang Xiaoliu would not be sure what they would do for a while, so he thought for a while and replied.

But inadvertently found that many officials shook their heads and sighed secretly, and some were full of contempt and ridicule, very disdainful, as if they were very disappointed with their performance.

Sure enough, Fa Zhongxing sneered and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me for not being able to accept this matter."

"Oh? Are you in trouble?"

Fa Zhongxing said: "The crown prince sacrificed to the heaven and the earth, and announced to the world that the Ministry of Rites can't take out the 1000 million spirit stones in such a hall."

Jiang Xiaoliu asked: "Who asked you to pay for it from the Ministry of Rites? You usually deliver official documents to the upper study room for approval by the prime minister and transfer to the Ministry of Households for appropriation. Don't you know this kind of process?"

"Your Highness doesn't know something, I'd better ask Hubu Shangshu, the sage of calligraphy, to tell me."

Another rich old man in the official uniform of the Ministry of Household Affairs said with a smile: "Your Highness, you don't have to embarrass Mr. Fa Zhongxing. It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but that there is no money in the treasury."

"What? Where's the treasury money?"

Jiang Xiaoliu was shocked, the evil empire was so huge, the treasury turned out to be an empty shell?
Hubu Shang's calligraphy Zhongsheng said: "This year suffered three times of fierce beasts and beasts. Your father's rebellion in the universe is another big sum. The four poisonous gods take half of the national treasury every year for the various flowers of the poisonous gods. Secondly, His Majesty's cultivation of supernatural powers is a huge resource every year, and up to now, the salaries of civil and military officials have not been paid for more than half a year."

"You are the minister of the household department. Let me ask you, where does the treasury's income come from? How does your minister manage money and food?"

Jiang Xiaoliu sneered.

Fa Zhongsheng said calmly: "The revenue of the treasury is naturally the national tax. Hundreds of millions of people in the world need to pay taxes, and our household department is responsible for managing distribution and other matters."

"This is the end?"

"Your Highness, do you still have any advice?"

Fa Zhongsheng just insists that he has no money, no matter how powerful your prince is, can you conjure it out of thin air without money?

"The treasury revenue is aimed at the middle and lower classes. How much income do they generate in a year? As far as I know, more than half of the income in the world is in the pockets of the eight great families. Is there such a thing?"

Fa Zhongsheng was taken aback. This is a well-known thing and a recognized thing. It has been like this for nearly ten thousand years now. Why is the prince talking about this so well?
"Your Highness is right, it's true. Could it be that Your Highness still wants the Eight Great Families to pay taxes? Hahahaha!"

After finishing speaking, not only the sage of Fa Zhong, but even the civil and military officials laughed unscrupulously. In the eyes of everyone, it is simply a fairy tale for the eight great families to pay taxes, and they are qualified to stand in the palace of Lingxiao. Those inside are high-level officials who control the lifeblood of the whole world, without exception, they are all members of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families, and there will never be a low caste such as the evil clan.

This has been a rule for countless years, an iron law.
