Chapter 247: Dark Snow Army’s military expenses are obtained, and Emperor Xueye imposes additional taxes
These mobs who were supposed to belong to the underground world were now lined up neatly, and everyone got their own money in a very orderly manner.
Everyone in the Dark Snow Army laughed at this moment.
It was just that such a smile fell in the eyes of the prime minister, but it made him look even more disgusted. Naturally, he had no good impression of these gangsters. He immediately snorted and said: "Humph, since the money has been given to you, you will go to the empire next." Naturally, we have to work hard at the border."
"Otherwise, not only will the remaining money not be given to you, but you will also be reinstated as a criminal. I think this is definitely not the situation you want to see, right?"
The Prime Minister's tone was very stern, but the people in Anxue Army didn't seem to mind very much. Instead, they all laughed at this moment: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, now that we have received the money, we will definitely do things well. This is our rule."
But the prime minister still asked them to leave quickly.
When the prime minister returned to the palace, he saw Emperor Xue Ye sighing with a sad look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I have sent away all those people."
The Prime Minister said to Emperor Xue Ye seriously, but Emperor Xue Ye's mood did not get better.
As the most powerful person around Emperor Xue Ye, the Prime Minister would naturally stand up to help Emperor Xue Ye solve his problems when he saw him in trouble.
"I wonder if there is anything else that makes you unhappy?"
"Ugh."
Emperor Xueye sighed: "Why else? This war has brought in a lot of money, and we just gave them more than 1000 million. Now, the treasury is really empty."
When he thought of this, Emperor Xueye immediately showed a sad face. Today's Tiandou Empire may need money at any time, but the money in the treasury is almost running out. If something happens, wouldn't it mean that Emperor Xueye will lose all his prestige in the next period of time.
After all, before this, Emperor Xue Ye even gave many of his rights to Xue Qinghe in order to cultivate Xue Qinghe, while he only had the most core rights of an emperor.
Therefore, in the hearts of the people, they knew much more about Xue Qinghe than they knew about Emperor Xue Ye.
But no one thought that their most proud son was someone else pretending to be him. This was of course an unacceptable thing for Emperor Xue Ye.
But more importantly, if he, as an emperor, cannot provide money when he needs it, others will definitely lose their trust in him.
After hearing Emperor Xue Ye's confusion, the Prime Minister suddenly laughed.
"It turns out that your Majesty is only worried about these things. These things are not big things. If your Majesty wants to solve it, the best way is to collect taxes from the people."
"what?"
Emperor Xueye was startled.
Imposing taxes is indeed a good way to make money, but it will also make you lose a lot of people's support.
His original image in the hearts of the people was not very good. If he continues to impose additional taxes now, it will definitely make the people's complaints against him even deeper.
But the Prime Minister showed a serious expression at this moment: "Your Majesty, besides this, is there anything else you can do?"
"To solve the money problem, the simplest and most direct way is to take it from the rich. And in the entire empire, the richest people are the nobles and commoners."
"But now we have to rely on the nobles to help the empire fight, so we definitely can't understand the nobles. But when we fight with Wuhun Palace, aren't we maintaining the existence of the empire? Once the empire no longer exists, Wuhun Palace will definitely rule the entire world. empire."
"Don't forget, strength has always been respected in Wuhun Palace, so those civilians who are not strong will definitely not be treated as human beings if they come to the territory ruled by Wuhun Palace, and we are helping them avoid With such a fate, it seems that we are protecting civilians."
"Since we protect them, of course they should pay a certain price."
When the prime minister said this, Emperor Xueye suddenly fell into deep thought.
But after a while, he finally raised his head again, showing a serious expression.
"Although I understand what you mean, the most important question is, after I do this, will the people still be willing to follow me as the emperor?"
Whether he can stabilize his imperial power is what Emperor Xue Ye cares about most now.
But the Prime Minister seemed very confident: "Your Majesty, only when the immediate crisis is resolved will we have time to solve the people's problems."
"More importantly, if we really defeat Wuhun Palace, then all the territory of Wuhun Palace will be ours, and we don't know how many benefits we can get."
"As long as we can grasp these benefits firmly, when the time comes, we can let out a little bit from the cracks of our fingers, and the people will be grateful to us."
The prime minister said this with a serious face, and at this moment, Emperor Xueye finally felt moved.
"Okay, since you said so, then do what you said."
"Pass on my decree. From now on, every household must pay a war tax. Everyone just needs to hand over a Gintama coin."
Although one silver soul coin is not much, there are hundreds of millions of people in the entire empire, and the total number of gold soul coins is tens of millions, which will definitely relieve a lot of pressure on the empire in a short period of time.
Of course, in order to appease the people, the prime minister also analyzed the stakes for the people when issuing the order. If the people are willing to give the money, the rule of the Tiandou Empire can continue. If the people are reluctant to give the money, If so, they may be ruled by Wuhun Palace at any time.
By that time, the people in Wuhun Palace would not be so kind to them.
After such brainwashing, the people did not resist much. After everyone paid their money, the national treasury became full again.
On the other side, at the border of the Tiandou Empire, outside Tianluo Pass, Wuhun Palace suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a new force on Tianluo Pass.
Although these people were wearing the uniforms of the Heaven Dou Empire, their strength was much stronger than the ordinary soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Moreover, they are extremely ruthless when they attack. Although they will not kill anyone, they can also make the soul master lose their combat effectiveness for a period of time. They are clearly targeting the soul masters of Wuhun Palace.
This gave Bibi Dong a headache.
