Chapter 349

Under the scream of the Dragon official, he was dragged out by a group of guards, and Minister Ernest had no way. After all, Mu Xiaoxiao had bypassed his life, but is there any difference between demoting as a civilian and executing him? Either way, you cut off your own wings, which your majesty did on purpose?

Ernest turned his head slightly and saw Mu Xiaoxiao's mysterious smile. He didn't understand.

"Well, his business doesn't need to be taken care of anymore." he looked at the hall and calmed down for a moment. Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and glanced at the officials. Seeing that every official he was watching couldn't help lowering his head, he raised the corner of his mouth, "so, what's the reason for the emptiness of the Treasury? Or did someone privately take the Treasury?"

"Your majesty!" minister Ernest couldn't help coming out. "Since Kenny is the chancellor of the exchequer, I think it should be his responsibility."

"Minister Ernest is right," Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at the silent minister Kenny, and then changed the subject, "but since there are officials who have overstepped their posts, there must be many people here who move the Treasury without permission? Or use the fund-raising of the Treasury to enrich their pockets?"

“......”

This time, even minister Ernest dared not answer again and withdrew without saying a word.

"Well, it's no use saying that," seeing that everyone dared not speak again, the previous example deeply explained that the gun hit the head bird, and Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at the scene. "Now we should think about how to solve the emptiness of the Treasury."

"Your Majesty is right," suggested another official. "I think. It's possible to expropriate the civilians in the imperial capital. It's always the case in the past. It can enrich the treasury as soon as possible."

Is this guy a fool? Everyone who heard this murmured in their hearts. It was obvious how could your majesty agree to this method? Sure enough

"The establishment of this idea has an impact, but it has only had an effect in the past, hasn't it?" Mu Xiaoxiao stood up and slowly walked down under the nervous eyes of the Dragon official. "Since you have tried many times, I think the civilians in the imperial capital must have been squeezed dry by you?"

“......”

"So this method doesn't work," Mu Xiaoxiao shook his head. Around the official kneeling in the middle, he suddenly smiled, "hey? Since those civilians can't squeeze oil and water, but... I think you must have oil and water?"

"!" everyone who heard this was surprised.

"After all, you are loyal ministers of the Empire. It's nothing to donate some money for the future of the Empire?" Mu Xiaoxiao came to the official's ear, "or are you not loyal to the Empire?!"

"..." all the officials began to look at each other.

Mu Xiaojiao tilted his mouth and stretched out his finger to point to the minister above, "You should learn from Minister Ernest. Even ministers are willing to donate one-third of their assets for the future of the Empire and the river crab of the Empire. Look how loyal others are! Minister Ernest is your example! But what about you? It's like asking you for a * * money here, it's like asking you for your life..."

Mu Xiaoxiao began to hide in full view of the public, and Minister Ernest above opened his mouth in amazement. Looking at Mu Xiaoxiao talking below, Minister Ernest's face turned red like a monkey's ass, trembling and stretched out his hand, "Your Majesty... Your majesty... I... I didn't say..."

"Hey?!" Mu Xiaoxiao shouted fiercely, turned his head, with an exaggerated and enlarged shocked expression on his face, which was several times more shocked than Ernest, as if he heard some unbelievable words, "minister Ernest, you... You... What did you just say?"

This expression seemed as if minister Ernest had said the words "I didn't say" just now, which made him sad and disappointed. Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao's expression, Minister Ernest seemed to be stuck in his throat. After glancing for a long time, he spit out a few words, "I... I'm willing to donate... One-third... Of the property for the Emperor..."

After saying this, Minister Ernest suddenly felt that he was ten years old. If he wasn't still on the hall, he might not be able to help crying. Seeing that even minister Ernest was soft, those officials naturally wouldn't hesitate and raised their hands to vote.

"I will!"

"I'd love to!"

"Everything for the Empire!"

"Well," Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Kenny, then turned to minister Ernest and said with a smile, "in addition, don't care too much about what you just said. As an important Minister of the Empire, how can you spend so much? One third is too impersonal, so it only takes one tenth. What do you think, Minister?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" hearing this sentence, Minister Ernest, who was originally angry with Mu Xiaoxiao, immediately showed a surprised look. Those grievances also disappeared. Then he half knelt on the ground with a hard stomach and performed a four different etiquette, "thank you, your majesty!"

"Well, that's all for today's meeting, Kenny Qing, you take care of the account!" Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and muttered that the policy of big stick and sweet dates was really useful. He waved and left the hall, leaving a pile of officials waiting for finance minister Kenny to keep accounts in the wind.

In the study of the Imperial Palace, Mu Xiaoxiao was sitting in his position. After a while, a knock came in.

"Bang bang"

"Your Majesty --"

"Come in," Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the door being opened and quickly stood up. "Here comes Kenny Qing? Has the account been recorded?"

"Yes, your majesty," the man knelt on the ground and * * his head, "thanks to your Majesty's blessing, he was able to dig out a piece of meat from these misers who usually eat people and don't spit bones..."

"It's good to be able to solve it," Mu Xiaoxuan said. "As for the fund-raising of the Treasury, let's put it on my side for the time being. After all, most of the officials are still under the control of minister Ernest. The money is used as a preparation in case, and if you put it back, there will be no chance to exploit them next time."

Yes, the funds raised by the Treasury were thrown into the space package by Mu Xiaoxiao.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Kenny said immediately with a happy face, suddenly remembered something and said hesitantly, "it's just... Your majesty, my subordinates don't understand that Ernest has decided to donate one-third of his assets before. Why does your majesty..."

After all, the gap between one third and one tenth is too big for Kenny to understand.

"Well, although I temporarily suppressed minister Ernest on the hall this time, do you think he will be solved so easily?" Mu Xiaoxiao stood up, "Minister Ernest is also an excellent conspirator. He is ambitious and peeps into the whole imperial capital. He has too many followers. If we do too much, it will cause his dissatisfaction and make him decide to break the pot. Now we are still weak and can't face him."

"When a dog is in a hurry, he will jump off the wall, not to mention Ernest, a big tiger? So I just quit today, you know, Kenny?"

"Yes! I understand!"

"Well, after you get the fund-raising money, you can make a good improvement on the imperial capital, especially in civilian areas. I always feel sorry for them after I left for so long."

"Yes, your majesty, but..." kenniton paused and hesitated before saying, "this alone is a drop in the bucket. The taxes of the imperial capital are due to minister Ernest and others... And the atmosphere of the imperial capital..."

"I know. After all, the imperial capital has let them rot for so many years. It's not easy to solve it. I'll find a way to solve it at the next court meeting. Don't worry!"

"Thank you, your majesty." Kenny's face showed a happy expression when he heard Mu Xiaoxiao say so. "The Empire has such a wise and virtuous majesty. I think we can reproduce the glory of our ancestors!"
