In the royal study.
"Azure Dragon, send someone to the homes of the rebels today and confiscate their property.”
Zhao Xuan said.
With so many things happening today, he had almost forgotten about the fastest way to earn money.
Now, he was really too short of money and resources.
Not only did they build the Heaven Worship Platform.
Money and resources were needed everywhere.
The four main elements of cultivation were wealth, partners, law, and land.
No matter how these four elements changed, wealth would always be the first.
With the current situation of the three thousand celestial guards, as long as they had enough resources, they could break through to the King's Realm.
If all 3,000 Almighties broke through to 3,000 Kings, Zhao Xuan was confident that he could flatten the Taixuan Sect!
However, it was impossible to have so many resources, but every single one of them would be able to improve greatly from a higher-being to a King.
"Yes, sir!"
Azure Dragon replied and immediately arranged for people to go and search the house.
After saying that, Zhao Xuan leaned back on the dragon throne and closed his eyes to rest.
The imperial table in front of him was still empty. There were no memorials.
It turned out that the memorials sent to Phoenix Pool Palace couldn't be sent to him just because of Zhao Xuan's words.
The memorials of all the civil and military officials would be sent to the royal study, but not so quickly.
Not long after.
Two figures came to the royal study.
It was the Assistant Minister of Revenue, Wei Que, and the Minister of Works, Li Feichen.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The two of them cupped their hands and bowed. They were very puzzled in their hearts. Why did Zhao Xuan summon the two of them for an audience?
"Assistant Minister Wei, as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, how is the situation in the Great Gan treasury?”
Zhao Xuan opened his eyes and asked indifferently.
The imperial family's palace treasury had been emptied, and the situation of the national treasury was not much better.
On the one hand, there was the Grand Mystery Sect. On the other hand, the taxes for the next three years would be a big problem.
When Wei Que heard this, he took a deep breath and said truthfully,"Your Majesty, there are 80 million low-grade spirit stones, 250 million gold, and 810 million silver in Da Qian's treasury.”
Zhao Xuan's expression was calm when he heard this, but his narrowed eyes showed that he was calm.
Eighty million.
It sounded like a lot.
But in reality, it was pitifully little.
As far as Zhao Xuan knew, the salary of the officials in the court was several tens of high-grade spirit stones.
Spirit stones were divided into low-grade spirit stones, middle-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones, and top-grade spirit stones.
The exchange rate was 1:100.
There were only 80 million Spiritual Stones in the Great Gan Dynasty's treasury, which was equivalent to 800 Lower Spiritual Stones.
This money was just enough to pay the salaries of these ministers.
It seemed that the money in the national treasury had been calculated by the Supreme Mystery Sect. It was enough for the remaining time of Da Qian.
Tantai Bingyun of the Supreme Mystery Sect was really ruthless and thorough.
The actions of the Supreme Mystery Sect constantly increased the killing intent in Zhao Xuan's heart.
"That's too little. Half a month."
"I will give you half a month. I want to see one billion spirit stones in the national treasury.”
Zhao Xuan spoke with an indifferent expression, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
The moment these words came out, Wei Que's expression changed drastically.
He knew that Zhao Xuan was asking him this to get money.
However, he didn't expect Zhao Xuan to ask for one billion Spiritual Stones.
This was simply asking for an exorbitant price.
Moreover, you were the one who got it for me in half a month without any reason.
What should he do?
He was not a god who could produce spirit stones. Even if he had a spirit stone mine in front of him, he would not be able to dig out a billion spirit stones in half a month.
Wei Que panicked.
He definitely didn't dare to take on this responsibility.
Once he agreed, he would definitely not be able to do it.
However, if he refused, he would think of Zhao Xuan's actions today.
First, he killed all the people from the Taixuan Sect in the court, and then he ordered the Taixuan Sect to go to the north to destroy the enemy.
It could be said to be extremely domineering.
If I can't share your worries, the consequences
At this moment, Wei Que deeply felt what it meant to accompany a ruler like accompanying a tiger.
In front of this young emperor, he deeply experienced it.
Immediately, Wei Que braced himself and said,"Your Majesty, this year's taxes have been collected. This…"
"Since the taxes have been collected, we'll have to think of other ways.”
"For example, is there any corruption in the court? There were also those sects that dug up heavenly treasures everywhere and took them for themselves, but they never paid taxes.”
"As the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, do you need me to teach you how to earn money?”
Zhao Xuan sat on the dragon throne and leaned back slightly as he spoke indifferently.
In a dynasty, it was impossible for officials to not be corrupt.
Moreover, Zhao Xuan did not know that the Taixuan Sect was definitely corrupt.
Therefore, he had to use his knife!
Continue to attack the Taixuan Sect!
Hiss!
When Wei Que heard Zhao Xuan's straightforward and shocking words, his scalp went numb.
Was there corruption in the Imperial Court?
That was for sure. Moreover, the biggest corruption was the Taixuan Sect.
But so what if he knew? How could he dare to ask them for money?
If it was tens of millions of spirit stones, it would be more like it. However, if it was a billion spirit stones, unless he killed them all and raided their houses, where else would he get so many spirit stones?
As for the sects in the world.
Not to mention the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, even the other lord dynasties had never set a precedent for the sect to pay taxes.
Even if it was a small sect, they were afraid of the dynasty, but they were not disciplined and could be considered independent of the imperial court.
"In this half a month, the Embroidered Uniform Guards will cooperate with you.”
Zhao Xuan shot a glance at Wei Que and continued speaking in an indifferent tone.
He naturally knew that if he wanted Wei Que to get money, tens of millions would be fine.
However, one billion spirit stones was very difficult.
But if he said that the Embroidered Uniform Guards would cooperate, then it was different.
He believed that the other party would understand what he meant.
When Zhao Xuan said this, not only Wei Que, but Li Fei Chen also trembled.
Brocade-robed immortal guards, cooperate!
The two of them thought of the responsibility and authority of the embroidered-robed immortal guards!
In other words, His Majesty was going to carry out a great purge by strictly cracking down on corruption.
At this moment, Wei Que understood that Zhao Xuan had asked him to come here to investigate corruption.
This matter was too offensive.
However, at this moment, Zhao Xuan had already said this, so he had no choice but to agree.
If he refused again, he wouldn't be able to continue being the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Zhao Xuan could just replace him with anyone.
In fact, he might even lose his life.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best!”
Wei Que bowed and said.
"En, I hope you won't disappoint me. If you encounter any difficulties, just come and find me.”
"If it's done, the position of Minister of Revenue will be yours. If it's not done, you don't have to come back to see me.”
Zhao Xuan nodded and said softly.
These words made Wei Que's entire body tremble.
There was no need to come back.
Did he mean to resign and return to his hometown, or was there no meaning to his existence?
He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and said loudly,""Yes, sir! Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
