"Please!!" Gu Dingbei motioned for him to continue!

"The people are suffering. There have been consecutive years of famine. Every family is starving and freezing. The army is constantly at war. The military rations needed are countless. The palace treasury has been robbed. The income is not enough to cover the expenditure!! How should we solve this problem? Should we continue to increase the harsh taxes?"

This is a very realistic problem. If we increase taxes again, the people will be even worse off. If we don't increase taxes, how will we solve the problem of military rations and various treasury expenses?

Gu Dingbei's mouth twitched. What a Mu Yuncheng! He had just occupied the palace and hadn't officially ascended the throne yet, but he was already using this livelihood issue to embarrass him.

How can he solve it? The Zhenbei Army is extremely poor, and everyone in the world knows it. But he just said that he would put the people first, and then he immediately said he would increase taxes. Isn't this a slap in the face?

The civil and military officials on the scene were discussing the situation, and they didn't know how to solve it for a while! !

If the treasury was full, Gu Dingbei could still use the money from the treasury to make up for it, or even release some money to win over the people, but the treasury was robbed repeatedly, and I'm afraid there is nothing left. Gu Dingbei is in a dilemma! !

Lord Liang stared at Mu Yuncheng anxiously! !

In fact, this is what Mu Yuncheng really wants to ask! ! He doesn’t know why, but he is really afraid that Gu Dingbei will make things worse for the people. If that happens, the generals will be in power and rule the country violently. He would rather not be an official than watch the people suffer endlessly! !

Gu Dingbei paced back and forth, and everyone thought he was stumped. Even Mu Yuncheng looked at Gu Dingbei nervously. He hoped that Gu Dingbei could give him an answer that would not disappoint him, but he himself did not know how to answer this question so as not to disappoint him! !

Gu Dingbei was trying not to laugh in his heart! What a great Lord Mu! Fortunately, he had a plan in mind!

He has Shen Lianxin! ! And the treasury was not stolen, because it was all in Shen Lianxin's space. Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing! !

"Hahahahahahaha!!!"

Seeing Gu Dingbei laughing wildly, everyone was stunned! !

The sharp-eyed minister immediately stepped forward to help, "I have a good plan that can help your majesty solve your worries!!"

Gu Dingbei was stunned for a moment, then he became interested, "Oh? Tell me about it!!"

"I think that although the people are suffering, it is not something that can be solved in one or two years. Moreover, it has been like this for many years and people have become accustomed to it!! However, the troubles in the army are the most urgent!! We only need to increase taxes this year to quickly fill the treasury, and these problems can be solved! !"

Mu Yuncheng frowned! !

As for the tax increase, Gu Dingbei couldn't say anything. They proposed it, and the emperor pretended to have sympathy for the people. They knelt down and persuaded him, saying that the people would understand the emperor's suffering. Isn't it solved by half-heartedly? ! The emperor also had both face and money. He was really smart! !

"I second the motion!!"

"I believe that the people will understand the difficulties faced by the new emperor. As long as we get through this year, things will get better and the world will surely usher in a prosperous era!!"

"I second the motion!!"

"On behalf of the people of the world, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your compassion. Your Majesty said that the world belongs to the people, so I believe that the people of the world will be willing to endure temporary suffering for the sake of their own world!!"

Mu Yuncheng's face became darker and darker. Who are you? How can you represent the people? He was in a hurry to speak! !

Gu Dingbei laughed again.

Interesting! ! Is being an emperor so fun? Did the old emperors in the past also watch these ministers perform various shows in the palace every day? It should be quite interesting, right?

As soon as the emperor was in trouble, someone would immediately try his best to smooth things over for him. This feeling was quite interesting! !

Seeing Gu Dingbei smile, all the officials followed suit, thinking that they had finally flattered him correctly. It was good to smile, it was good to smile!!

Mu Yuncheng was disappointed. Whoever becomes the ruler of the world is just for his own benefit. That's all! !

Gu Dingbei pressed his hand downwards, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

"The suffering of the people is the suffering of the whole world. If we don't solve the problem fundamentally, we can't say that we have solved the problem!! I came from the northern border, and I have walked through the bitter cold land, and I have seen the awfulness of the 11 cities of yellow sand!! There are starving people everywhere, the land is barren for thousands of miles, there is no grain to harvest, and the people have nothing to rely on!!"

Speaking of this, Gu Dingbei felt a chill in his heart.

"I have seen the greatest suffering in the world. Now that I have the right to speak in this world, how can I bear to let those who are already struggling to survive fall into greater suffering!!"

Hearing this, all the civil and military officials bowed their heads. They knew the truth, but they were insignificant and their words were not taken seriously. They did not have the courage and determination to ask on behalf of the people of the world like Muyun City did! !

Mu Yuncheng looked at Gu Dingbei with burning eyes!

"Draft!" This is to issue an imperial decree! ! Although Gu Dingbei has not yet ascended the throne, he is already the only choice for the emperor. He has not yet entered the palace, and there is no chief eunuch. The original chief eunuch has already gone with the previous emperor.

The young eunuch next to him is smart and clever. Although he is not a senior eunuch, he takes the position directly and ascends to heaven in one step. It depends on who is brave enough today! !

The young eunuch stood directly behind Gu Dingbei and took up the pen and ink to record! !

Gu Dingbei glanced at him, what a discerning little eunuch!

"A general amnesty for the whole country!! The people can rest and recuperate, and all places will be exempted from taxes. Officials from all prefectures will be personally on duty to supervise. Anyone who cheats on tax collection will be executed!"

"All officials in Kyoto shall set up an inspection team to examine their achievements over the years. Those who have no achievements and are not worthy of their positions shall be demoted!! Those who are corrupt shall be exiled!! Those who oppress and murder shall be brought to the Dali Temple for trial at the discretion of the court!! Those with serious offenses shall be beheaded!!"

"Food is the most important thing for the people. Now, Madam Shen Lianxin has the ability to reach the sky and has discovered dozens of high-yield crops. She will bless the world and bring happiness to all the people! With the spread of power, no one in the world will go hungry, and the national treasury will naturally be abundant! Our dynasty will surely become powerful!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the whole audience was shocked! !

Is it true that there are high-yield crops that can save the world from starvation? High yield? How high can it be?

Mu Yuncheng was stunned. He didn't expect this result. High-yield crops? Potatoes? Corn? Sweet potatoes? Rice?

Mu Yuncheng is an official who came from Yuncheng and has his roots in Yuncheng. He receives news from Yuncheng from time to time. The news of the high-yield crops in Yunshan Village has spread around Yuncheng.

It was said that a fairy appeared in Yunshan Village and gave them magical seeds. One acre of land could produce thousands of kilograms of potatoes. Not only could they not eat them all, but they could also have a lot left over. Because of this, the people of Yunshan Village became rich.

Even the surrounding cities and mountain villages followed suit and planted potatoes on a large scale, and no one died of starvation within a thousand miles. Whenever the disaster victims and refugees arrived in Yunshan Village, the village head would give them a few large potatoes and would never watch them die in Yunshan Village.

Mu Yuncheng knelt down and kowtowed three times. "Your Majesty, I am willing to be loyal to you until death! Long live the emperor! "
