With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

Chapter 343: Increase in Taxes

Young people aged fifteen or sixteen have a passion that is difficult to understand, and people like Sulang have even greater ideals.

But his lofty ideal was shattered by the incredibly beautiful girl in front of him, and he felt embarrassed and ashamed for a moment.

He pointed at Qian Qian with his face flushed with anger and his eyes filled with tears as if he had suffered a great insult.

After a long while, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the young,"

Snapped.

The slap from his own sister made Su Lang burst into tears, and he looked at his sister with resentment.

I met my sister's light gaze and dared not say a word.

Money money...

"Haha," I couldn't help laughing out loud, "Suniang, take your family and move to Haocheng."

"As for Su Zhiang, you don't have to worry. I promise that he will never harass you again in this life."

Su Niang looked at the girl in front of her in surprise, her beautiful peach blossom eyes showing both confusion and hope.

Qian Qian looked at the Su family again and said, "You all should go down and treat your injuries. Is there a doctor in Lihua Village?"

"Yes, yes, yes,"

I don’t know when the village chief brought Zhang Tianzhen here, and now they see that everyone has been subdued.

A smile finally broke out on the worried old face. The secret guard took the Su family and, led by the village chief, went to find a doctor.

Qian Qian looked at Su Niang and said, "I want to know what happened before you were reborn. What was Da Xia like when you were reborn?"

Qian Qian said this calmly, which was both a question and a warning.

She doesn't want these reborn people to cause her any trouble and change the trajectory of Da Xia.

Even though Tongzi had told her that these reborn people were not the ones who could shake the fate of Daxia.

But can the wings of a butterfly be underestimated?

Su Niang looked up in surprise when she heard that. She looked around and then looked at the girl in front of her with stunning appearance and determined eyes.

"You, you are?"

"Emperor Mingxian."

Qian Qian raised his chin and simply revealed his identity.

Su Niang's knees went weak and she wanted to kneel down, but Qian Qian raised his hand to stop her.

In the following time, Zhang Tianzhen's world was completely turned upside down.

He listened to Su Niang telling about the Great Xia before her rebirth, a time of war and misery for the people.

Foreign enemies invaded, and human lives were worthless like ants...

The more he listened, the more he trembled, and soon his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Looking up at Her Majesty the Empress, he saw that the girl in front of him had a calm expression.

His expression didn't change much, not even a hint of shock.

Only after Su Niang finished speaking did His Majesty curl his lips and smile, "I allow you to open an embroidery spinning mill in Haocheng. If you want your family to live well, then promise me not to do unnecessary things."

"Yes," Su Niang lowered her eyes, "I know what to say and what not to say, and I will never marry again in this life."

Qian Qian chuckled, "Actually,"

"Your Majesty," Su Niang saw that the Empress did not want to reveal her identity, so she continued to stand with her head bowed.

But her tone was more cautious and respectful, "I have made up my mind. In today's Daxia, even if I don't want to get married, I still have many options."

Qian Qian nodded, and seeing her determined eyes, he did not persuade her any further, "As long as you have made up your mind, go down."

"Yes."

After Su Niang left, Qian Qian asked Su Zhiang the same question again, and got an answer that was similar to Su Niang's.

When Su Zhiang learned that the Empress wanted him to guard the Sea of ​​Tranquility, a conflicted look appeared on his face.

"Su Zhiang," Qian Qian said in a low voice, "If you truly love Su Niang, let her go in this life."

Su Zhiang was confused after hearing this and was taken to see a doctor by his family.

As for Shu Yan, [Tongzi, are you sure Shu Yan won't do anything weird? ]

[Well,] the system is very sure, [that girl is just an ordinary girl.]

[I don’t have any special skills, but I have no problem managing my own family. ]

[As long as Su Zhiang and Suniang no longer appear in her life, the girl can live according to her heart. ]

Qian Qian frowned and smiled bitterly, [Okay, then I won’t ask anymore.]

Looking at the village chief who was running towards him happily, his old face was wrinkled with deep smile.

Taking a deep breath, Qian Qian said in a deep voice, "Life is going well in Lihua Village?"

The village chief was happy, "Thanks to the wisdom of Her Majesty the Empress, the villagers have indeed been able to have enough to eat in recent years."

"Okay," Qian Qian nodded, "Very good, so the meat, vegetables and grains at the entrance of the village can be trampled on by you at will."

The village chief's heart skipped a beat and he lowered his head in fear to glance at the Empress.

"In that case," Qian Qian said to the secret guard beside him, "Order that the tax in Lihua Village increase by 30% next year."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Zhang Tianzhen looked at the old village chief with sympathy, then followed His Majesty and left.

The old village chief looked as if he had lost his parents. At one moment he felt aggrieved, and at another he felt that he deserved it.

He gathered the villagers overnight and collected the food that had been wasted at the entrance of the village.

The collected food was placed on the back mountain. Even if it was fed to rats, it was better than wasting it.

Early the next morning, Qian Qian and Zhang Tianzhen left Lihua Village.

The village chief gathered the villagers early in the morning, and the villagers' moods fluctuated with the village chief's words...

"Ah, His Majesty the Emperor has come to our village?"

"Ah, he's gone already?"

"What? His Majesty the Emperor has punished us by raising taxes by 30% next year?"

"By,"

Before the villagers could start talking, they immediately shut their mouths and felt guilty when they thought of the food that was wasted yesterday.

The old village chief looked at Su Zhiang, then at Su Niang and finally at Shu Yan, then he went home with his hands behind his back without saying a word.

Although the villagers had complaints, they were in awe and fear of the imperial power and dared not say anything, so they could only endure the punishment silently.

Zhang Tianzhen was a little surprised by this. He sat on Awang's back and stroked the long hair on the back of its neck.

"Your Majesty, is a 30% tax too heavy?"

"Is it heavy?"

Qian Qian's voice was calm, "How many years has it been since the whole of Da Xia had enough food?"

Zhang Tianzhen said no more and followed His Majesty facing the rising sun.

I looked down at the wide concrete road under my feet, and then tilted my head to look at the straight trees on both sides of the road.

The trees on both sides of the road are not tall or thick, but they are growing well.

A few years ago, when he was about to die in the beggars' den, he could never have imagined that there would be such a road in Da Xia.

I somehow understood why His Majesty was angry. Now that Daxia is becoming more and more powerful, the people are living better and better.

But people must not forget their roots, and there are certain bottom lines that must never be crossed.

Zhang Tianzhen's depressed mood these days gradually recovered. He suddenly spoke up when he thought of something, "Your Majesty, the heads of Su Zhiang, Suniang and Shu Yan from Lihua Village are above the heads of Su Zhiang, Suniang and Shu Yan."

He paused and said, "That red and black disc is a giant red sesame cake."

"Sesame cake?"

Qian Qian imagined it for a moment and laughed, "It doesn't matter, they can't do anything bad."

"There are really people with great opportunities in this world. Although I am a Taoist, I still find rebirth incredible."

Qian Qian tilted his head in thought, "Rebirth, three people being reborn at the same time is indeed unbelievable."

system……

He became nervous silently, hoping that the little empress would not discuss with him the issue of the reborn people gathering together.

Qian Qian was about to ask something when he saw a luxurious carriage rushing towards him on the opposite road.

At the same time, a familiar voice came from the carriage, "Qianqian, sister, long time no see?"

[Tongzi, this sound? ]

The system secretly breathed a sigh of relief when it heard Qian Qian did not ask any more questions about the reborn person.

[Um, that's Lin You, your brother You.]

Money money...
