The protagonist of fast time travel Halo Crusher

Chapter 27
When going to court the next day, there are many things waiting for Lin Mu to decide.

Following Lu Fuxin’s saying, “If something happens, we will start, if nothing happens, we will retreat.”

The first one to stand up was Zuodu Yushi, the original owner's teacher, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment ran out of water two days ago and burned some case files. The veteran thought that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment did not keep official documents properly and should be punished."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment seemed to have been prepared for a long time and stood up: "Your Majesty, our Ministry of Punishment has been in office for hundreds of years, and there are many hidden dangers, especially in terms of fire prevention. I have written letters one after another since two years ago, but the Ministry of Industry There has been no maintenance and rectification for a long time. In the past two days, the Ministry of Punishment has been out of water, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, you have to give me an account of this matter."

Unexpectedly, the emperor's first fire in the court would burn himself. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry wiped his sweat and said: "I report to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing. It's just that the repair money should be allocated to the Ministry of Industry this season, and the Ministry of Households is delayed. It never arrived. There is no money, no way to hire people, and no way to buy the corresponding materials, so that I am struggling to do things, I ask the emperor to learn from you!"

Hearing what Minister of the Ministry of Industry said, Minister of the Ministry of Households immediately cried out: "Reporting to the emperor, it is not because of the delay, but because of the shortage of money!"

As he spoke, he began to settle accounts and pour out his bitterness, "This year, there was a drought in the south, and there was no harvest. Not only was there no taxation, but also disaster relief; the war at Qinyang Pass was tense, and the military payment and military funds could not be delayed; His Majesty held a birthday banquet, singing and dancing again. One, and during this period of time, the Ministry of Finance has spent a lot of money, repeatedly urging to raise money... I am incompetent, I don't have the art of turning stone into gold, and I really can't conjure money out of thin air. I am guilty, and I am willing to resign from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Please, Your Majesty Choose another virtue!"

Lin Mu sat on the dragon chair and watched these ministers kicking the ball with interest, but he did not expect that the ball would come back to him.Why does the Ministry of Internal Affairs spend a lot of money? The expenses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all for the royal family. Isn't this just blaming yourself in disguise?I'm afraid this is the result of the Zuodu Yushi having a good relationship with the ministers.

Lin Mu coughed twice, causing everyone's eyes to return to her. She kept a straight face on purpose: "Master of the Household Department, are you blaming me? It's because I used too much money."

"Your Majesty, I dare not." The Minister of the Household Department lowered his head.

Lin Mu didn't speak, just looked at him, he felt his heart beating like a beating, and big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, he was really afraid that he would confess here.

Seeing the stalemate in the atmosphere, Zuodu Censor came out to save the situation: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Household Department is also worried about state affairs. He didn't mean to blame you, but, according to the old minister's humble opinion, the situation in the Household Department is not optimistic. Your Majesty should set an example and advocate for the former government The hardworking and frugal style of the harem and the whole country."

Lin Mu thought for a while, and she liked that her teacher was very swearing, so she began to explain the truth to him, trying to provoke him: "Teacher, you are so old-fashioned. This matter of money is better than increasing income rather than reducing expenditure." What's the use of saving, we should find a way to find the source for the Ministry of Households."

Before Zuodu Yushi could say anything, Wang Yanxiang jumped out: "Your Majesty, no tax increase."

Lin Mu looked at Wang Yanxiang. Ever since the vassal king incident ended, Wang Yanxiang had become the founder of a women's group, and he hadn't made a speech for a long time. What happened today.

"Your Majesty, the people are like water, and the king is like a boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. We live in temples, but we must also be considerate of the people." Wang Yanxiang said solemnly.

The corners of Lin Mu's lips curled up with a sly smile. She suddenly wanted to tease him: "Wang Yanxiang, you are just a promoter of a women's group now. I don't want to listen to your opinion on whether to increase taxes. If it's okay, you can Go look at the pictures of beauties and help me choose more beauties than anything else. If you keep talking too much, you won’t even be able to be the founder of a girl group."

Even if Lin Mu said so, Wang Yanxiang did not back down: "Your Majesty, I have no fear. I just feel that if I am here for a day, it is my duty to think about the people, and also think about Your Majesty."

Lin Mu looked at his resolute look, as if he would die if she raised taxes. She finally remembered that Wang Yanxiang came from a humble background and was a son of poor people who got through the exam all the way.No wonder he is so worried about the people, the country needs such ministers, this is the backbone of a country, such a brawny minister, before I leave, I must let him return to his post.

"Okay, who will show this heroic sacrifice." Lin Mu couldn't help but chuckled, "Back off, I won't raise taxes."

Of course she knows that things like tax increases are outrageous, and she will definitely lose her luck, but she can't cheat so many people for her mission.

Zuodu Censor felt strange: "Without collecting taxes, does Your Majesty have any other ways to open source?"

Lin Mu smiled mysteriously: "What I mean is indeed to make a fuss about tax collection and collect more taxes, but it is not necessary to increase the tax rate. If the base is larger, the taxes I collect will also increase. Teacher, I Isn't that right?"

Zuodu Yushi shook his head when he heard the words: "Your Majesty is right. But it has to be based on the people's harvest. Your Majesty, it depends on God. What we can do is to be diligent and thrifty."

"Teacher, besides the agricultural tax, isn't there also a commercial tax?" Lin Mu finally got to the point.

"Commercial tax?" Everyone was responding, what does the emperor mean by this.

In fact, Lin Mu didn't know what the outcome of her decision would be, but she didn't want any family of merchants to repeat the mistakes of the Chen family in Yangzhou.

"Your Majesty wants to..." Zuodu Yushi didn't dare to express his thoughts. This was too deviant.

"That's right." Lin Mu nodded, her heart was beating very fast: "I just want to change the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business."

"Your Majesty, no!" Zuo Du Yushi shouted.

"Why not?" Lin Mu had expected this kind of objection.

Although Zuodu Censor was shocked, his words were very organized: "Agriculture is the source of food and clothing. Farming damage is the root of hunger; female red damage is the source of cold. Agriculture is the source of national wealth. Despicable Tianye County , the foundation of wealth. Furthermore, agriculture can provide sufficient sources of troops for the unification war. Let the people return to agriculture and defend the war for the Lord."

"I didn't say I don't pay attention to agriculture. I want to emphasize agriculture and liberalize business." Lin Mu looked innocently at Zuodu Yushi.

A royal doctor stood up and said: "Your Majesty, businessmen use low prices to make huge profits and live a luxurious life that is difficult for farmers to achieve. This is a parasite that sucks the fat of the people. That's why people say, 'Using poverty to get rich is not as good as farmers. Work, work is not as good as business, and embroidery is not as good as leaning on the city gate.'”

Lin Mu saw the tricks: "I and all my lovers can formulate reasonable business regulations to regulate the behavior of merchants. Is this good? Merchants make money through their own efforts, and there is no difference between farmers and farmers. Merchants and farmers are left and right. They are all my people, and I should treat them equally."
