Sure enough, all civil and military officials in the dynasty shrank their necks and did not dare to take on this problem.
Li Jian looked around, and he expected that everyone was silent: "Of course, this year there are natural and man-made disasters, and the national treasury is empty. It is definitely unrealistic to give all this money and food to Huangzhou."
"Since we can't support it with money and food, I think it's better to give Huangzhou Prince some real conveniences and let Huangzhou gather these homeless untouchables and refugees and stabilize them until next year's spring plowing. arrange!"
"Otherwise, if millions of untouchables and refugees riot, it will shake the foundation of the country."
This sentence is definitely not a threat!
But, it is definitely a threat!
Emperor Xia believed deeply: "What the Taiwei said is absolutely true. If these millions of untouchables and refugees are turned into a mob, the consequences will be really disastrous!"
"What do you dear ladies think?"
"yes!"
When the ministers thought about the uprising of millions of untouchables and refugees, their scalps went numb.
Emperor Xia said directly: "Xiaojiu, if you have any requests, just ask!"
"As long as the imperial court can do it, it will be done for you here!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Li Jian succeeded and retired.
Xia Tian said seriously: "Father, my child's request is that Huangzhou is tax-free!"
Emperor Xia raised his eyelids: "How many years do you want to be exempt from tax?"
Xia Tian stretched out two index fingers and crossed them: "Ten years."
"impossible!"
The prince jumped up with an angry look on his face: "This is absolutely impossible!"
"If the barren state fiefdom can be exempted from paying taxes for ten years, then the other fiefdoms will definitely have something to say."
Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "Your Highness, my territory is full of homeless people without food or clothing. If you have to force me, I will have no choice but to drive them to Qingzhou!"
"you dare!"
Prince Xia Yu was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "My father has ordered you to accept and digest it!"
Xia Tian said with a smile but not a smile: "Then I can reject them at Tianmen Mountain and let the endless stream of untouchables and refugees stay in Qingzhou!"
"Qingzhou is the prince's territory. It is rich in products and people. The prince's benevolence will definitely let the untouchables and refugees live a good life!"
Suddenly.
The prince was speechless!
That’s right!
As long as Death Laojiu blocks the untouchables and refugees from entering Huangzhou in Tianmen Mountain, Qingzhou will be the one to clean up the mess!
If those untouchables and refugees are causing trouble in the deserted state, then he, the new prince, will not be able to live in peace.
The more the prince thought about it, the angrier he became!
Shi Lao Jiu has taken hold of his lifeline!
The eyes of the other kings' forces were bright.
This is a good way to bring down the prince!
Only by overthrowing the prince can the people they support have a chance to ascend to power!
As for Xia Tian, they didn't take it seriously at all.
Immediately, the prince felt waves of malice!
at this time.
Emperor Xia frowned: "Prince, doesn't he agree with Huangzhou's tax exemption?"
The prince came to a sudden wisdom: "Father, I think tax exemption is not advisable, but we can work around it. The imperial court levies a tax of one tael of silver from Huangzhou every year to represent the imperial court's support and attitude."
Emperor Xia's brows relaxed: "Then the prince thinks, how many years is appropriate to collect the tax of one tael of silver?"
Prince Xia Yu took a deep look at Xia Xia and compromised: "Just like the Nine Emperor Brothers requested, ten years!"
He was really afraid that Xia Tian would throw those untouchables and refugees to him!
Emperor Xia shook his head and said, "Ten years won't work, it's too long!"
"Three years!"
Once Emperor Xia said these words, they were golden words and could not be changed.
Xia Tian's goal was achieved: "Thank you, Father, for your understanding!"
"My son has been away from the palace for half a year and misses his mother and concubine very much, so he wants to go to the harem first to say hello!"
Emperor Xia waved his hand: "Don't worry yet!"
"I'm asking you the truth!"
Xia Tian's heart sank, knowing that the real drama was coming!
"Father, please show me!"
Emperor Xia asked with a serious look: "In order to compensate the Tianlang Imperial Capital for its money, the imperial court has decided to increase taxes."
"The tax increase is still being formulated."
"In the past few days, I have been thinking that doing this will definitely cause chaos in the world and is extremely risky!"
"Xiaojiu, if you were me, would there be a better way that would not cause chaos in the world and at the same time collect enough money to compensate the Sirius people?"
Xia Tian shook his head decisively: "No!"
The Great Xia Dynasty was already seriously ill, and even gods coming could not do anything about it.
Emperor Xia said with some disappointment: "Since you went to Huangzhou, people have rumored that you have the wisdom of a saint. I thought you had a solution!"
Xia Tian said with a look of fear: "Father, those are all rumors among the people."
"My son has grown up beside you. Don't you still know whether he has the wisdom of a saint?"
Emperor Xia was speechless.
He said uneasily: "Then you go find your mother and concubine first!"
"She is in Gushan Palace!"
"yes!"
Xia Tian took the order and walked all the way to Gushan Palace under the guidance of a young eunuch.
At this time, the Gushan Palace had been decorated a long time ago. It could not be seen that it was a cold palace. It was crowded with servants and surrounded by palace ladies, making it very lively.
now.
Concubine Qin stood quietly at the entrance of the palace, looking out with expectant eyes in her beautiful eyes.
Then, a young man with a body as tall as a sword came into her eyes.
When he got closer, the young man still looked the same as when he left, but his face looked a little more determined.
Close!
Xia Tian looked at the beautiful woman at the entrance of the palace, suppressed the emotions in his heart, walked up to her, pushed the golden mountain and poured out the jade pillar: "Unfilial child Xia Tian, pay homage to my mother and concubine!"
Concubine Qin stepped forward with tears in her eyes, took Xia Tian's big hand, and said excitedly: "It'll be nice to come back!"
Under the wide sleeves, Xia Tian's fingers touched Concubine Qin's pulse, and the murderous intent flashed in her eyes, so vicious!
Immediately afterwards, with the eunuchs and maids waiting, the mother and son staged a happy meeting.
finally.
Concubine Qin took everyone out of the room.
Xia Tian took out a porcelain bottle, pinched out a pill and said: "Mother, my child recently killed several tentacles of a water monster in Huangzhou. These tentacles have extremely high medicinal value, and their detoxification is even more magical. This is the child's use of other things." Even if the antidote refined by the tentacles cannot detoxify, it can further alleviate the pain caused by the poison!"
"Try it after taking it!"
Concubine Qin immediately took one pill.
After a while, a puff of poisonous smoke came out of Concubine Qin's head, and she seemed much more relaxed.
Happy summer!
However, sudden changes occurred!
"Hiss, hiss"
A slight strange noise was heard inside the house.
Suddenly.
Concubine Qin's face changed drastically, her face became dark, poisonous gas lingered, veins popped out on her body, and she was in extreme pain.
Xia Tian's expression changed drastically: "It turns out to be a Gu insect!"
"Swish swish"
His hands were like magic, and each silver needle quickly sealed all the acupuncture points of Concubine Qin.
Then, he inserted a silver needle into Qin Guifei's meridians, and drove the silver needle to search for the poisonous insects in Qin Guifei's body.
at this time.
Outside the palace, I remembered Eunuch Wei's voice: "The Emperor has arrived."
