Love In The Palace's
Episode 58's

" It's not a big problem that's noble, but if left unchecked this will be a pretty serious problem"

" What is that....?" ask the queen curiously

" Honour tax issue, please lower your noble taxes"

" Don't the people have no trouble paying for it?" saut emperor

" It's true, as you know most Neverlanders work under me and I give them more

That's why they can pay for it

But your majesty I think the amount of taxes the palace has set is absurd"

" I know, but I can't do anything

is the impact very big out there

Honestly, I as the emperor never knew the state of my people directly because I only worked from behind the palace walls" said the emperor, smiling wryly

The empress sitting next to the emperor stroked her arms affectionately

She knew her husband had worked hard for Neverland, but of course it would not be enough if he himself struggled

" the issue about this is already widespread, your majesty even..."

" Tell me the truth, son, I don't want to keep hearing good things when the truth isn't that good" either"

" This issue is already hot news and the laughingstock of another glorious empire"

" Is all this true?"

" I can vouch for him noble, I have my own trade union in the Eastland and Westland empires"

Xiao Lie looked at the glum-looking emperor, at once he felt pity

However, Xiao Lie knew that the emperor was trying to make a move for Neverland

" I think with the sale of these crops can cover the lack of noble palace income so the tax for the people can go down as before

May I give you a noble suggestion?"

" Of course, tell me your opinion, son, who knows it can help us" said the empress, who was also adopted by the emperor

" For the time being it is better to control the needs of the noble palace

It is better not to buy items that have not been needed, I got a report from my subordinates that the palace bought jewelry clothes and accessories these few weeks are glorious

And that is done almost every day

Seeing this, of course, many people did not accept the noble, they had to save money to be able to pay taxes while the palace was fun"

The emperor who heard the words xiao lie suddenly looked at the empress with a questionable face

" It's not that I'm my husband, Shan Shan also there's no way he's been in the academy one week ago"

Only one name existed in the brain of the current emperor, but he had to confirm it first

" Do you know who that guy is, son?"

" His Majesty himself must have known, I do not want to talk about it noble

In addition to the problem of controlling the needs of the palace, it is better that the noble also regulate taxation issues

I think it is all unfair, ordinary people and commoners are required to pay the taxes that have been determined if it will not be punished with whipping or imprisonment then what about the nobility?

They can delay payment even the higher their noble status they are free from taxes

Isn't that strange, your majesty?"

" I am completely blind." said the emperor, exhaling his heavy breath.

" The task of the emperor is to lead but there are times when you also have to see what kind of person you lead the noble"

The Emperor nodded his head in a small chuckle "God my wife is actually how old this little girl in front of us is, why she's so smart"

" You're right my husband, if only my stupid son was as smart as Xiao lie, Neverland would be more prosperous"

Xiao lie himself blushed in embarrassment at the praises of the emperor and empress

" So what do you think my husband should do right now little girl?" ask the empress

" People.." replied xiao lie briefly.

the emperor and empress looked at the confused xiao lie, they did not understand the meaning

" The palace is a place for the people to complain about the noble but unfortunately it is the palace that hurts them

You palace owners are too far away from the people

Do you know, your majesty, yesterday I bought land near the border

And do you know what I saw?"

Xiao Lie paused for a moment to look at the expressions of the two people in front of him

" Retarded, isolated and forgotten inhabitants

They did not even have the right cloth for the covering of their glorious bodies

The distance between the settlements with the border was quite close, and of course the palace soldiers often passed through them

But did anyone help them or at least report it to you?

I only suggest that you do not swallow the reports that your ministers gave

Or maybe it would be better if you have eyes and ears outside the palace"

" I find it hard to trust someone son"

" It's not hard, you're just still glued to the identity of the person you want to trust

Do you know what my noble accomplices look like?"

" I'm honestly also curious about where you get great people like them from" the emperor replied

" My four Gege are noble graduates of the royal academy, they are not nobles"

" What..... How can you, you're kidding me?"consort saut

" I tell you the truth, your honor, they studied with hard work and effort that is not easy

Even after graduation they were not accepted among court officials or nobles

Their target is noble outcasts

And if my four jiejies, they were the slaves my parents bought"

" It's unbelievable" said the emperor, looking at xiao lie in astonishment

" To be honest, talent and loyalty can come from anyone who is noble

May I give you the best candidate to be your noble shadow?"

" Do you have someone I can trust, son?" the emperor was unsure

Xiao Lie smiled faintly before answering

" It's not me who has it but you who are noble"

" Who's that.....?"

" You see that soldier standing guard is noble" said xiao lie pointing at one brown-haired soldier who was standing guard not far from where they were sitting

After the emperor and empress saw him, Xiao lie continued his words

" He was also one of the alumni of the royal academy who graduated with my four Gege

I was trying to pull him to be my man, but he didn't want to because he's been sworn in by soldiers with you

In addition to martial arts, he is also insightful and has many connections because he often follows Hao Mei Gege when his time is free"

" Why do you know so much about him, son? do you guys know?" ask the empress

" Just know your highness, his parents are the caretakers of one of my inns"

" I'll test it first, thanks for helping me son

May you always be protected by God and live happily" said the emperor, sincerely praying for Xiao Lie

" Thank you for your noble prayer, it seems like I should leave immediately

For the matter of cooperation tomorrow let Hao Mei Gege to the palace

And also maybe we won't meet in a long time, your majesty"

" Why....?" consort saut

" I'm going around noble, there's a lot I want to do out there

If the palace needs help, you can go to the hill to meet Hao Mei Gege

I handed the palace cooperation to him"

Although the empress was not willing because of the departure of xiao lie but she had to give it up

Because he has no rights

Though he hoped that Xiao Lie would become his family but his hopes had to run aground because of his foolish son
