In Fu Suibo's heart, Ning Shuo has become his best friend.This person does things straightforwardly, is loyal to others, and comes from a noble background, but he does not look down on others, nor does he look down on others. I heard that he also has a friend who is a shopkeeper, and occasionally goes to sell goods with him—this kind of person is the proud son of heaven. , but has a childish heart, in fact, he shouldn't be dealing with the treachery of the court.

The best destination for a person like him is to live his whole life like spring flowers and autumn moon, summer wind and winter snow.

But how can a man have no ambitions, and how can an official have no benevolence?So in the end, the ones who suffer are those who still care about the people.Thinking of this, he felt pity for himself, and when he met Boss Buyuchuan, he knelt on the ground and resolutely refused to get up, and told all the grievances and choices he had suffered these days, with tears in his eyes: " My lord, I'm afraid I'm going to Yuzhou in a few days, and before I go, I want to discuss sutras with you."

He didn't get up, and Bu Yuchuan didn't help him either, but waited for him to cry and say his grievances before getting up and solemnly helping him up, saying: "You are indeed an innocent disaster."

Fu Suibo didn't dare to hide traitors and play tricks in front of him, so he said his duty: "The lower official was born in a poor family. Without the support of Yuzhou Academy, it is impossible to get to where I am today. But the one who supports me is Yuzhou Academy. It’s not these old monks who wrote books—I am grateful to the land of Jiangnan, but I don’t want to be a captive retainer.”

There was no concealment at all, and he fully revealed his state of mind.Bu Yuchuan nodded understandingly, and then looked at Ning Shuo, "I heard that Miss Sheng has been watching taxes recently..."

Ning Shuo nodded, "Yes, I read the mansion newspaper before. After reading it, I went to check my taxes in recent years."

He laughed when he thought of the banquet bell, "It's a pity that my daughter-in-law cannot be an official, otherwise she will become a marquis and a minister."

Bu Yuchuan said with a smile: "The talent is excellent."

He picked up a cup of tea and drank it: "Then what can she see?"

Ning Shuo nodded, "Yes, she has noticed something recently... She secretly told me that in recent years, His Majesty has needed more and more military pay, but the harvest in Jiangnan has not been good, so His Majesty passed on all the money needed. It has been given to the states and counties in the northwest area, and taxes in the northwest have been increased."

Fu Suibo had heard about this for a long time, and said: "There is no way to do this. The harvest in the south of the Yangtze River was not good a few years ago, but the harvest in the northwest was good. If the south is in trouble, the north will be the top, and the north will be in trouble. The south will always be the top." So, if you come and go, you can be prosperous and safe forever."

Ning Shuo looked at him and smiled, "Then if the south wants to use this to reduce taxes for a long time, what will happen if the taxes in the northwest continue to increase in recent years?"

Fu Suibo didn't take this matter seriously at first, but when Ning Shuo asked so solemnly, he thought about it and said, "Will the Northwest Association...be overwhelmed?"

Ning Shuo nodded, "The northwest area is connected to the Xiongnu and Dajin. The weather there is not good, and people have problems eating enough. It is incomparable with the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River. It may be okay to ask them to increase taxes for a few more years. If you go down, you will push people back."

A reverse word made Fu Suibo dare not sit.

He stood up in horror, "Why is this?"

Ning Shuo said, "Brother, do you know why this happened?"

Fu Suibo was taken aback, his mind was like a paste, he shook his head, "I don't know."

Ning Shuo stood up and paced the room, "Because the treasury is empty."

Fu Suibo replied without thinking: "I know about this—"

But before he could say anything, his heart was pricked by a needle, and the pain made his mind a lot clearer again. Slowly, a terrible thought popped up, "You mean...the national treasury is already so empty. Yet?"

Ning Shuo nodded, "Yes."

Fu Suibo took a breath, "In this way, if taxes are reduced in Jiangnan and increased in Northwest—but we all know that half of the country's taxes are spent in Northwest, and the troops there will suffer natural and man-made disasters... ..."

He couldn't imagine it anymore.

If the national treasury has bottomed out, when the natural disasters in the northwest come and the tax cannot be paid, Jiangnan will reduce the tax, so the entire national treasury will decrease.

The national treasury is getting smaller year by year, what will happen in the end?

Ning Shuo sat down, "This is not the fault of His Majesty's dynasty, it is a fault of decades, even a hundred years. It has accumulated on our Yue Kingdom like a festering wound. How?"

Fu Suibo sat on the ground with a thud, and murmured: "The minister is richer than the emperor, and the people live in dire straits. In the end, the royal family is destroyed, and the rich minister chooses a new master to live in."

Ning Shuo sighed, "Prosperity, the people suffer. Death, the people suffer. Only we feel sorry for the people."

Bu Yuchuan sat quietly at the top and listened. Hearing this, he looked at Ning Shuo, "You came up with this, or did Yanling come up with it?"

Ning Shuo: "It's me. Yanling dare not think about this."

Bu Yuchuan laughed, "That's right, such an idea requires a lot of courage."

"Ah Shuo, you are very courageous."

Then he sighed, "You are right, so His Majesty has always wanted to reform Jiangnan taxation."

Fu Suibo's brain is no longer enough.It's not that I don't understand.but—

"If His Majesty wants to reform taxes, according to his temperament, he must do it."

"The richest person in the world is none other than Yuzhou. If I go to Yuzhou..."

The head on his neck was cold, and it felt like it was no longer his, but was being pressed on the guillotine, and the executioner was grinding his neck with a knife.

Fu Suibo was sweating profusely all over his body immediately, as if falling into an abyss, he couldn't even stand up.If the fall was excessive shock, now it is fear.

Pure fear.

In the next moment, what he didn't say or even dared to say, Ning Shuo said it for him, and said intently: "Yes, you went to Yuzhou, and you must help with things. When His Majesty wiped out Yuzhou , I'm afraid my life will be lost."

Fu Suibo now even wants to kowtow three times to Ning Shuo, this is not to let him come to Buyuchuan to listen to advice, it is to let him escape from life.

He immediately knelt on the ground, "My lord, please help me, please help me."

Bu Yuchuan helped him up, "You are not in deep trouble, as long as you don't seek glory and wealth, you can still stay in the capital smoothly."

Fu Suibo only wanted to save his life now, so he dared to seek wealth, so he promised: "As long as I can live."

Bu Yuchuan said: "I still have some face in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If you want, let me come forward and talk to Your Majesty, how about finding a governor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for you?"

Fu Suibo's face was full of gratitude, "It's already a blessing in misfortune."

Fuyukawa patted him on the back and said, "If this is the case, I'm afraid you'll be on the bench."

Fu Suibo knew that what he said was that Mr. Wu would target him, but at this moment, he was not afraid of targeting him: "If you offend him, you can offend him. It's not bad to save your life."

People's requirements are getting lower and lower.
