tax issue
π°πππ ππππππππππ πΈπππππ,
As per the agenda, today a general meeting was held to discuss the daily issues of the kingdom. The emperor who sat in his seat of greatness led the course of the trial. It is lined up on the right and left of ministers and royal officials.
"good. Is there anything else you want to report." The Emperor was fed up with all the grievances he received today. He wanted to end his trial immediately.
"Your Majesty. I'd like to report a delay in the distribution of food to the Soldiers at the border. Given the border issue is very important for our kingdom. If we ignore the soldiers guarding the border, I'm afraid it will diminish their morale. " Defense Minister Zhong shaoqin gave his report.
'Minister Zhong, minister Zhong. Can't you report this tomorrow'. The Emperor could only complain inwardly. He felt that his brain work had become slow, because since morning he had completed so many reports.
"Then what do you think, Minister Zhong. The problem of food distribution is indeed hampered due to lack of stock in the national granary. I've been coordinating with the national granary seketariat. As much as possible to always prioritize the soldiers. If it turns out less. We have to buy from another country. "
The atmosphere of the hall quickly became violent. Many disagreed with the Emperor's decision to buy rice from other countries.
The Emperor slightly raised his lips upwards, only a glance then again changed his serious expression. "Because many object to my proposal. Then I will give you, my very loyal ministers, the task of thinking about the solution of Minister Zhong's problem. Tomorrow I want to hear all your solutions. Today's trial is over. " Without wasting his time, the Emperor immediately got up from his seat and left. Eunuch liu followed from behind.
Eunuch liu who followed Emperor shao's steps
trying to move his legs faster. He did not want to be far from his master. When the Emperor's steps suddenly came to a halt, eunuch liu forcefully braked at the speed of his feet and just before crashing into his master his legs had already stopped.
"We're going to Xinyue's palace."
Soon eunuch liu and the servants who followed set off for Xinyue palace. Xinyue Palace was the residence palace of Huang Guifei Fuxin. When the Emperor shou was fed up with the affairs of the kingdom. He always went to Xinyue Palace.
The notice of His Majesty's arrival broke the silence of Xinyue's palace. Soon the servants welcomed the king of the jinn country. Huang Guifei who did not welcome her husband was sitting down to enjoy his warm tea.
Emperor shao was used to being greeted only by servants when he visited this palace. When Emperor Shao entered and saw his wife preferred to enjoy her tea instead of welcoming him. At that time he felt more eager to be his wife's tea, than an emperor. The nature of his wife is like the nature of Sima Rui, just like a block of ice.
The servant immediately prepared a cup and some new cakes for the emperor. After the servants are done with their duties. Emperor shao waved asking all the servants to leave.
He sat down, sipped his tea and sighed. He feels much calmer now.
"Is it because of the court issue again that started? " Huang guifei's beautiful voice broke the silence of the space.
" The state deficit issue made me take the decision to raise taxes in some areas. But I didn't think that would cause any other problems. Some ministers are now questioning my decision. That's why I lured them by saying I would buy from another country. I want them to think about the solution to this problem as well. What does the state pay them for, if they can't think. "
Huang guifei listened attentively to her husband's complaints. Although it looks cold and cold. But she is a wife who loves her family very much.
"Your highness. Sometimes what looks is not necessarily what actually happens. Sometimes we have to dive deeper to realize the truth. I must not interfere in the politics of the country, but I can give advice to His Majesty. " Huang Guifei stared intently at her husband's face. " Don't let anyone else use His Majesty to cover up their filth. "
Emperor Shao was like getting a jolt in his brain. He realized something when Huang guifei gave his suggestion. 'Indeed my beloved wife, always able to brighten my mind.'
Emperor shao held Huang Guifei's hand. "Xiner's. I haven't hugged you in a long time. "
Huang Guifei's face flushed. 'This guy is really shameless. He just complained to her. But now he had shown his lewd expression. '
"Your highness. Just last night you spent the night here. You should be with Guifei tonight. " Huang Guifei said with his face still red, recalling the hot sport they had done last night.
"It's precisely because I'm with Guifei tonight. That's why I want to hug you instead."
Huang Guifei knew very well what the Emperor's relationship with Guifei was like. Not because His Majesty hates or dislikes Guifei. But it was because of something else that made the Emperor respect him more than love him. And vice versa.
Without waiting for long, Emperor Shao directly hugged his wife and led her into the room. Quickly all of the clothes that had come off were already on the floor. Two people who love each other struggle together doing their sweating activities.

Master Mo's carriage arrived at his residence. The waiter who opened the gate, looked astonished. Seeing his master who came home sooner than usual.
With his swift pace Mo yincheng walked towards his residence in the North courtyard. As his steps entered the courtyard, he saw his wife and daughter sitting together in a small gazebo. Mo yincheng hurried over to them.
Ziyan who noticed the arrival of her father immediately stood up giving his greetings. Madam Mo smilingly greeted her husband and asked him to sit with them.
Madam Mo poured her tea and gave it to her husband. Seeing her husband coming home sooner, it meant there was trouble in court today. He told all the servants to leave the three of them. When all the servants had left, then madam Mo asked. She allowed her husband to drink her tea first and then she opened her voice.
"What's my husband? You seem to be very tired. "
" Tax problems now affect crop yields, and affect the food distribution of soldiers at the border. Because of that, today His Majesty asked for a solution from all ministers and court officials. "
Ziyan listened to her father's troubles. Little did he already hear from the xiaoqi routine report regarding this tax increase. In fact, this problem is no different from the economic problems in Britain. Not wrong with raising taxes, just the placement is wrong.
" dad. I have some thoughts, are you willing to hear them? "
Mo yincheng, the only one who knows the true origin of ziyan. Therefore, it was no wonder when the young girl said that she had some thoughts, Mo yincheng gave a kind welcome.
"alright. We'll talk about it in the study." Mo yincheng could not ask his daughter to frankly speak in front of his wife. As his wife knew, this daughter was an ordinary girl.
"You are my husband. If you don't want to listen to Ziyan's idea, don't make promises to change it. " Mistress Mo thought that her husband rejected the idea of ziyan and to prevent her daughter from being disappointed he promised to discuss it.
Ziyan and Mo yincheng felt guilty for making the gentle woman misunderstand.
