Three Kingdoms: Faint King, starting from forcing Dong Zhuo to offer his granddaughter

Suspend the salaries of all officials?

Your Majesty, isn't it a little too much for you to do this.

You know, the salaries of officials are not much at all.

We still have wives and children to support, maids and family servants, and diners to worship, and the daily expenses are not a small sum.

If you cut off our salary, how can we pay them?

For a time,

The faces of the court officials became a little ugly.

Your Majesty can't help boasting, just now you said that you did a wise thing, why did you start to be stupid again.

But this kind of thing is hard for everyone to say.

at this time,

Many people sent a signal for help behind the curtain, hoping that the Queen Mother could stand up and say something for them.

Empress Dowager He looked at Liu Bian's profile, and slightly frowned.

Clearly, a one-size-fits-all approach will not work.

It will only arouse the resentment of the ministers.

If you lose your prestige in the DPRK, then things will be even more difficult.

but,

Before she could speak for Baiguan, she was interrupted by Liu Bian.

"You don't need to look at the Queen Mother. Now the country is in trouble, and we need everyone to lend a helping hand to tide over the difficulties. I believe that the Queen Mother will also support my approach."

Liu Bian turned his head slowly and looked at the Queen Mother, "Are you right, Queen Mother?"

Speaking of this, Queen Mother He naturally couldn't sing against her son.

If you fight against Liu Bian, it will reduce Liu Bian's prestige.Then in the future, Liu Bian will only be more difficult to do in the court.

Moreover, what Liu Bian said makes sense.

Now is the time for everyone to contribute their money and efforts.

"Your Majesty is right."

"The Ai family is willing to take the lead. From now on, the Ai family's offerings will also be exempted. When the country has overcome the difficulties, it will be restored."

A faint voice came from behind the curtain.

The meaning of majesty spread, making the officials dare not say anything.

Even the Empress Dowager is willing to sacrifice herself, so how can they, as courtiers, have the nerve to ask His Majesty for a salary?

"The minister waits for the order."

Everyone reluctantly accepted.

"Your Majesty, we can be exempted from the salaries of officials in the court, but what about local officials?"

someone asked.

"Local officials?"

The corner of Liu Bian's mouth twitched slightly, this is easy to handle.

"Their salaries are settled by themselves."

"Also, let them solve the problem of military pay for the local armies. The imperial court will not give them a grain of grain or a penny of copper money!"

what!

When all the officials heard the words, they all looked horrified!

Sure enough, His Majesty is still the same Majesty, and the words are astonishing and endless!

The orders given are all so puzzling!

Do not give salaries to local officials?

This is forcing them to embezzle.

Don't pay the local army?

Isn't it to force them to rebel!

Your Majesty, this move has disrupted the country!

Regardless of whether the ministers were in a hurry, so was the Empress Dowager He behind the curtain.

But before she could speak, Liu Bian went on to say something even more shocking,

"In order to prevent the treasury from being empty in the future, the tax revenue of various regions will be increased by [-]% in the future! As for the tax revenue of various regions, it can be adjusted according to the situation, and there is no need to report to the imperial court."

what! ! !

Baiguan's eyeballs popped out, and his face was horrified to the extreme!

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

Someone came forward to dissuade immediately!

The taxation of the big man is already very heavy, and if it is increased by [-]%, it will kill the common people.

There are also local taxes that can be adjusted by themselves. This move is simply ridiculous!

Without a unified taxation system, there will definitely be many corrupt officials!At that time, it will be the common people who suffer.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion has only passed a few years ago, why didn't His Majesty take it as a warning!

If so,

It will only force people all over the world to rebel.

"To shut up!"

The minister just came out to object, and before he had time to make a long speech, he was shocked by Liu Bian's words.

"This is not allowed, and that is not allowed!"

"If you are really capable, why is the national treasury empty now, and you don't even have money to recruit soldiers?"

"If you don't increase taxes, why support the army?"

"If there is no army, how can we resist foreigners and suppress rebels??"

"From now on, in my decision, whoever dares to say no again will be dragged out and beheaded immediately!"

Liu Bian drew out the Zhongxing sword, and the clanging sound filled the hall.

With the cold intention of killing, everyone shuddered!

Your Majesty, I am really moved to kill you.

For a while, no one dared to say anything!

Liu Bian was a little disappointed.

It seems that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not have a true loyal minister, not even a single person who risked his life to persuade him.

Everyone only knows how to protect themselves.

In this case, let's add another fire to you!

"Dear dear ministers, the soldiers' salaries cannot be delayed. If it takes too long, I'm afraid the morale of the soldiers will be weakened."

"I hope that everyone can contribute, actively raise donations, and raise military salaries!"

Liu Bian said seriously.

Soliciting... soliciting donations?

Baiguan's face was pale.

It's fine if you don't pay your salary, but you still need all of us to collect donations?

too much,

unacceptable!

"Everyone keeps saying that they are loyal to me and the country, so they won't even refuse to do such a small favor!"

Liu Bian's eyes were gloomy, and he exuded a dangerous aura again.

"Your Majesty, I only have a thousand stones a year, and I would like to donate all of them."

Cao Cao doesn't care about the money, he has other properties.

His father, Cao Song, was a well-known wealthy businessman.

Therefore, he was the first to take the lead in fundraising.

"The annual salary of the minister is seven hundred stones, and I would like to donate all of it."

The second one to speak was Cai Yong.

Like Cao Cao, he has a kind of blind worship for Liu Bian.

I think that all the unreasonable things Liu Bian did have a deep meaning.

As for what the deep meaning of this time is, he has not thought of it yet.

of course,

His family background is very different from Cao Cao's, and seven hundred stones is indeed not a small sum for him.

"I donated [-] stones."

"The minister donated two thousand stones."

With others taking the lead, others can only follow.

Soon, it was the Yuan family's turn.

"I donated ten thousand stones," Yuan Feng said.

He ranks among the three princes, with a salary of [-] shi a year.
