Qingfeng Li panicked when he saw Xiao Lin's reaction.
He acknowledged this new emperor from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, he naturally did not want to be misunderstood by the other party. He hurriedly said,"Your Majesty, in the end, this is still because of the Holy Land!”
"Our dynasty is vast in land and resources. Every year, just the taxes from the various provinces add up to hundreds of millions of spirit stones!”
"Apart from that, there are also tributes from the hundred countries, which is as much as 100 million.”
"However, in addition to the expenses of the court, we still have to pay a total of 300 million spirit stones to the Holy Land every year!”
At this point, Qingfeng Li's expression turned ugly,""So after so many years, this is all that's left in the national treasury.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao felt his heart twitch.
Hundreds of millions of Spiritual Stones! How many treasures would he be able to find in the mall?
He immediately made the decision.
"I won't hand it over in the future!"
"Okay…Ah?"
Qingfeng Li nodded subconsciously at first, but then came back to his senses,""You really…don't want to hand it over?"
His eyes were a little nervous, mixed with some anticipation.
"I'm not handing it over!"
"If they have any ideas, come here and talk to me personally!" Lin Xiao sneered.”
Looking at the little turtle lying quietly on the table, Qingfeng Li straightened his back and shouted,""Your Majesty is wise!"
"What about the palace treasury? How much is your annual income?"
Lin Xiao asked the question that he wanted to know the most at the moment.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the palace treasury will take ten percent of the national treasury every year to be kept by the Internal Affairs Bureau.”
? Qingfeng Li thought for a moment and said," But as far as I know, the former emperor took the spirit stones with him when he left."”
"Thus, the current palace treasury reserves are zero.”
Initially, when Lin Xiao heard that ten percent of spirit stones would enter the palace treasury every year, although he appeared calm on the surface, he was already overjoyed in his heart.
But after hearing Qingfeng Li's last sentence.
However, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, and her heart turned cold.
In other words, even though he was the Emperor Lord of a dynasty, he was actually…a pauper?
Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Xiao's mouth twitched slightly.
"Dismissed!"
He was no longer in the mood to continue chatting with the officials. He waved his hand and said.
"Farewell, Your Majesty!"
The ministers bowed in unison.
Lin Xiao stood up and planned to leave.
Right at this moment, outside the Thearch Palace, a battered figure struggled to climb up the Cloud Climbing Steps.
It was none other than Yuwen Hao.
He had almost forgotten about this guy.
"Your Majesty…"
Yuwen Hao walked into the Thearch Palace, trembling.
Suddenly, his body became unstable and he knelt on the ground.
The entire court burst into laughter.
This scene was really interesting!
Who knew how angry the Supremacy would be if he knew that his subordinate had behaved like this in the Royal Capital.
Yuwen Hao's face turned red. He was so ashamed that he wanted to find a place to hide.
"Not bad, it seems that you have learned a lot this time.”
Lin Xiao was very satisfied with Yuwen Hao's attitude. He nodded and said,""Previously, you said that the Exalt had sent a congratulatory gift. Now, you can present the congratulatory gift!”
Over the years, the Holy Land had plundered a lot of resources from the North Region. They were already extremely rich.
He believed that the value of the gift would not be low.
However, his words made Yuwen Hao want to vomit blood.
He had just crippled him, and then he acted as if nothing had happened and asked for a congratulatory gift.
This dog emperor!
Yuwen Hao cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he took off the storage ring obediently.
Things were different now.
I'm a fish to be butchered.
Since the other party had asked for it, he really did not dare to refuse!
Qingfeng Li strode over and took the storage ring. He checked it carefully.
After confirming that there were no traps on it, he respectfully handed it to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao sent a trace of his divine sense into it and probed it slightly.
Two Heaven Rank treasures were quietly placed there.
What was left were some bottles of pills and thousands of spirit stones.
Spiritual stones were extremely precious cultivation resources for any cultivator.
Even for Life and Death Realm warriors like Yuwen Hao, most of them were used for cultivation, leaving only a small portion for emergencies.
However, it was still alright.
There were at least two heaven-grade treasures.
Although he didn't need it, he could use it to reward his subordinates.
One had to know that even if it was an Earth-grade treasure, it was enough to cause a bloody storm outside.
Not to mention these two heaven-tier treasures.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao put away the storage ring and glanced at Yuwen Hao, who was kneeling below, and said indifferently,""Send someone to bring him back to Cangzhou!”
The other party had already become a cripple anyway, so it was not worth killing him.
He might as well use the trash and throw it back to the Holy Land as a warning.
After saying that, Lin Xiao left the Thearch Palace, leaving the officials behind to look at each other.
Yuwen Hao, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party would not kill him.
At this moment, he had already thought through a lot.
If his cultivation was crippled, so be it. It was better than dying.
After all, there was a saying that said, it was better to live a lazy life than to die a good death.
If he could successfully return to the Holy Land, perhaps the Supremacy would have a way for him to cultivate again.
"Forget it, leave this matter to my subordinates!”
As Chen Han spoke, he picked up Yuwen Hao, who was immersed in his beautiful fantasy, and said,""Everyone, I'll take my leave first!”
After saying that, he walked out of the hall unhurriedly.
"Haha, I should go back! Thanks to His Majesty's favor, he was spared! He had to seize the time to cultivate and live up to His Majesty's expectations!”
Wang Meng laughed heartily and left in large strides.
Soon, the officials in the court dispersed one after another.
The first court meeting of the new emperor officially came to an end.
However, even though the court session had ended, the aftershocks caused by this period of time had not dissipated.
That was the aura of the Immortal Martial realm expert that the Emperor Palace had emitted previously!
The new emperor ascended the throne, and the Li Fire Empire produced another Immortal Martial realm!
This news seemed to have grown wings. In just a day, it had spread throughout the 13 continents of the dynasty!
Even the other seven states had heard of this.
