Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 203: The Scheming Prince X The Childlike General 9

There were whispers in the audience but no one dared to stand up and express their thoughts.

Shen Xi took a step to the right.

"I think the best plan now is to allocate some money first."

As soon as these words came out.

The ministers who had just praised him also shook their heads.

Allocating money is what everyone wants.

But now the treasury is empty, and the money is not there, so you can take it out whenever you want.

"Allocate money? But the national treasury is weak now, where will the money come from? Do you want to increase the taxes on the people?"

Shen Juzheng hit the essence of the problem in one sentence.

"It cannot be aggravated."

"Why?"

"Now it's not just the people in the Jiangnan region who are suffering from floods. The Northwest is also experiencing a severe drought, and remote areas are experiencing wars one after another. Crops have failed. If we continue to pay taxes per head as before, the people will surely suffer terribly."

"So what do you think?"

"The gap between the rich and the poor is huge. Under such circumstances, there are still some people who are extremely wealthy, so I think we should differentiate the taxation by income level."

This statement came out.

All eyes in the court were on him.

“How to differentiate?”

Shen Juzheng also showed an incredible expression on his face.

"If your monthly income is less than 15 guan of copper coins, you are exempt from tax. On the other hand, if it is more than 20 guan of copper coins, you have to pay % of the excess."

Shen Xi looked at the confused yet clear and stupid eyes of the crowd.

Explained it again.

"It's like, I earned ten taels of gold this month. Then, the excess is seven taels of gold, so I have to pay tax of two taels of gold and four taels of silver."

"But... this is too much to hand in. What if they don't agree?"

The old minister at the side couldn't help but ask.

"We are in a national crisis, so we can't care about them. As soon as this incident is over, we will immediately cancel this tax."

"Then what shall we do? You shall be in charge of this fundraising."

Shen Xi bowed immediately.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As soon as the decree was issued, it did cause dissatisfaction among many people.

But due to the royal power, they had to do so.

Shen Xi set an example by taking the lead and donating 20 taels of gold.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to pay more.

I really have no money left.

Shen Xi built a high platform in the market.

"Dear fellow villagers."

Shen Xi shouted loudly, not looking like a prince at all.

He dismissed the officers and soldiers.

For a moment, no one recognized that he was actually the crown prince.

Everyone stopped to look.

"The new decree promulgated this time has indeed caused dissatisfaction among many people, but it has to be done in the face of national crisis. People in the streets are well-informed. I believe that without me telling you, everyone has already known about natural disasters such as the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and the drought in the northwest."

Shen Xi took out the silver bill from his arms and put it into the red merit box next to him.

"I will donate 20 taels of gold first, and I hope everyone can contribute a little to disaster relief."

Only then did everyone realize that he was the crown prince.

He knelt down immediately.

"Everyone, please stand up."

Shen Xi walked down the platform and coughed a few times.

In the silent meeting room, the cough was particularly noticeable.

wait until.

The crowd started to get excited only after Shen Xi left.

"That must be the prince, right? He's so approachable."

"Yes, did you hear him coughing just now? His health must have deteriorated due to the disaster relief work."

"Forget it, I'll go first. I don't have that much cash on me, I only have five taels of silver, please accept it."

The man threw the money bag hanging on his body directly into the donation box.

The soldier guarding the donation box also expressed his gratitude to him.

The first person started it, and donations continued to come in.

Shen Xi watched all this from a distance.

"Not bad."

When the crowd dispersed, Shen Xi was also ready to leave.

As soon as I turned around, I fell into a broad embrace.

"Your Highness, be careful."

Shen Xi looked at the man standing in front of him with some excitement.

"Huai Yu?"

Shen Xi was surprised and happy.

"Your Highness, why are you hiding here?"

"If I go over there, they won't let me go."

Shen Xi was a little tired, so he leaned against Lu Huaiyu and took a rest.

Lu Huaiyu looked at him like this.

I feel so distressed.

"Your Highness, thank you for your hard work."

"It seems that the people are all well, and it's not hard."

The voice just fell.

Shen Xi fainted in Lu Huaiyu's arms.

Of course he was pretending. Shen Xi had a very good physique. How could he be so tired and faint after staying up all night?

Lu Huaiyu hugged him like a princess and held him in her arms.

Walk through the alley and away from the noisy crowd.

I don’t know how long I walked before a small green courtyard appeared in front of me.

The courtyard is located on the edge of Kyoto.

It seems very quiet and natural.

Lu Huaiyu gently put him on the bed.

I reached out and felt his breath.

The breath is very stable.

"It's okay, he probably just fell asleep."

Lu Huaiyu sat beside him and carefully looked at the beauty in front of him.

Shen Xi's peaceful sleeping face deeply touched his heart.

'Analyze.'

Lu Huaiyu looked at his soft, red lips.

Bit her lips.

But in the end I couldn't help it.

He leaned in and kissed her.

He just tapped it lightly and fled quickly.

This love cannot be seen in public.

Shen Xi was in a good mood as he listened to Wangcai's broadcast.

"Congratulations, Boss. The favorability of the main character has increased by 55%. Please keep up the good work."
