The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance flashed his eyes, staggered, and almost lost his manners in front of the palace.

Being stared at coldly by the tyrant, he was stunned and did not dare to speak. Today was really not the right time, and it seriously affected the emperor and the princess's family time.

"Huang Baobao, why are you coming to me at this time?"

Xiao Qiqi curiously turned around and sat on the big tyrant's lap, facing the Minister of Household Affairs.

Those big, beautiful eyes caught Huang Baobao's attention immediately. Xiaotuanzi was like a petite canary, exuding a clear and natural aura. He was so sweet that he was even more arrogant than the one from Fengluan Palace. Her balsam pear face is much cuter, no wonder she is so favored.

I really wanted to go up and give her a hug, his eyes were full of strong desire.

The smart Chengxi gave Xiao Wuji a cup of tea and tried to warn Huang Baobao with his eyes.

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance does not look at him, he is a fool.

The big tyrant raised his wide golden sleeves to protect the calf. Xiaotuanzi held his wide golden sleeves with both hands, revealing his little head, which looked like a New Year doll, very blessed.

"Huang Qing, the princess of the Tian family, how can you spy so easily."

Xiao Wuji's expression and voice were as cold as if he wanted to cut Huang Baobao alive on the spot. Even if he had the intention, he didn't have the guts to look at it and lowered his head to save his life.

He said in fear: "The princess is noble and gentle, but the humble minister is rude."

Xiao Wuji glanced at him coldly and arrogantly, Qiqi was full of treasures and still needed this old man's evaluation.

"I still want to accompany Qiqi to the Imperial Garden to enjoy fish. If Huang Qing has nothing to do, please leave immediately."

Xiao Qiqi: Σ(?д?llll), do you want to see mermaids? I don’t want to go.

Huang Baobao felt anxious, lowered his head and said nervously: "Your Majesty, the state treasury revenue is tight now. I checked yesterday and found a total of 5000 million guan, which is nearly 2000 million guan less than in previous years. There is also a deficit this month."

The Jokhang Kingdom had only been established for five years, and its finances amounted to tens of millions. It was already considered a prosperous country. It seemed that the father was an accomplished tyrant.

Most of the revenue of the treasury consists of poll tax, land tax, tea and salt tax, commercial tax, etc.

The head tax is a large part of the national treasury revenue, about [-] in [-] taxes. The Jokhang Kingdom considers the people's livelihood, the tea and salt tax is relatively small, and the commercial tax is also levied according to different categories. Xiao Qiqi knows the two big ones, gold and silver. Jewelry is taxed at [-] per cent, while brocade and soft items are generally taxed at [-] per cent.

Huang Baobao means to add more taxes to the people.

Xiao Wuji glanced at him coldly and said: "Five years ago, the war caused the country to suffer heavy losses, which caused a lot of burden to the people. At the beginning of the founding of the Zhao Dynasty, it was the time for the people to recuperate and recuperate. No more taxes should be increased."

Huang Baobao's plan failed and he continued: "During the great peace of the Zhao Dynasty, the frontiers were stable, war funds were sufficient, and the salt merchants were rich, so the tax on tea and salt could be increased."

Xiao Wuji's eyes were darker than before, and his voice was as deep as the wind blowing from hell: "Dazhao salt merchants have huge profits. If the salt tax is increased, layers of exploitation are exploited, and merchants make huge profits, do you think it will have no impact on the people of Dazhao? What if? As a result, a large number of them fell ill, causing people's livelihood to decline, and Huang Baobao can bear the consequences."

Huang Baobao was so frightened that sweat flowed from his black gauze hat, and he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Xiao Qiqi knows that salt contains sodium and potassium, which are essential for the human body. If you don't eat people, you won't have the strength to work and fight. Moreover, this society is an agricultural era, and the value of salt is equivalent to today's oil. It is the decisive factor that determines a country. The key to rise and fall, honor and disgrace.

This Huang Baobao always points his words at the barrel of a gun.

Xiao Wuji said: "As the financial official of Dazhao, you can only deal with finance and taxation. You are such a mediocre person. What use do I want from you? I will pull you down and cut him off."

"Your Majesty, spare your life." Huang Baobao asked Xiao Qiqi for help with sweating eyes.

Xiaotuanzi pulled the sleeve of the tyrant, and said in a sweet voice, "Father, Mr. Huang is also thinking about the country. Please calm down and you will definitely be able to find a solution to the problem."

Xiao Wuji's arm touched her warm and delicate fingers, and his irritable breathing slowed down. His little dumpling was still considerate and spoke sweetly and pleasantly.

He said: "Why don't you thank the princess quickly?"

Huang Baobao paid homage to her, saying that the eldest princess was his savior.

"The princess is so kind and kind, I will remember her forever."

Xiao Wuji said: "Why is there a deficit this month?"

"Your Majesty, the moat in the capital is in flood. The Ministry of Industry has spent a lot of money to provide disaster relief and repair damaged houses."

Xiao Wuji: "We can't increase taxes, so we should try our best to control expenditures. If there is another deficit next time, we will go to Shura Prison and get out."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue kowtowed and withdrew without falling.

Xiao Wuji also sent Chengxi away.

He shouted to him with a bad expression: "Zhu Yong, go and check the flood situation outside the city."

"Yes." The black shadow exited the hall vigorously.

The division of labor in the shadows is different from that of Yongyi, who is in charge of the detection line, and several other important secret guards who follow Xiao Wuji at all times.

After he explained the matter, his eyes looked a little tired.

Xiao Qiqi took the initiative to rub his temples, thinking that if the treasury revenue could not be raised, he might have something to do.

Although the tyrant had a bad temper, he was still meticulous in governing the Jokhang Kingdom. He often stayed up all night reviewing memorials, and Xiao Qiqi was afraid that he would die young.

With Xiaotuanzi by his side, his mood softened a lot.

Talk to her about the Shadow.

Xiao Qiqi squeezed his shoulders and patted his hands diligently, "Father, are you feeling comfortable?"

Xiao Wuji's clear eyes saw through her at a glance: "Xiao Tuanzi, do you have something to ask my father for?"

Xiao Qiqi told him about Yanwanlou and his plan to open a training class in the city.

She said weakly: "I want to borrow a sum of money from my father first, and when the training class makes money in the future, I can share the dividends with him."

Xiao Wuji couldn't help but laugh. He slapped her head and lowered his voice as if he was whispering to her: "I believe Qiqi has the ability to make money. I already gave the Treasure Pavilion to you last time, so there's no way to borrow it."

Xiao Qiqi was so moved that his eyes filled with golden light.

"Father is tired today. I have a plan to make a fortune, and I will give him a surprise tomorrow." Xiaotuanzi said with great enthusiasm.

Xiao Wuji stroked a few strands of hair on her cheeks and saw the pink mole at the end of her eyes, with a clean smile in his eyes: "Xiao Tuanzi will not let me down."

He said for sure.

"After my father's birthday, I will send you to the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

She lost interest when it came to studying. She jumped off him with her little mouth pouted, and walked out of the palace without looking back. She was so angry that her father wanted to catch her reading. It was not cute at all. .

She kicked the air with her short legs, allowing Pearl to place the golden bell and go straight to Weiyang Palace.

Chen Zhaoyuan already knew what she was doing outside the palace. After asking questions for a while, and seeing that she was fine, she felt relieved and gave her the new clothes she had just made to try on.

Pearl came in from the outside, "Princess, the slave sent the golden bell to the palace maid's house. As soon as she left, she followed behind. She said she had to come to see the princess and was waiting at the door."

"Who is Jin Ling?" Chen Zhaoyuan had doubts in her eyes.

Xiao Qiqi explained clearly.
