Eunuch Liu came to Mo Castle early in the morning with the emperor's imperial decree. Although he had the imperial decree in his hand, he did not dare to be arrogant in the slightest. He obediently waited in the hall for Jimo Wuxuan to receive the imperial decree, and he was mentally prepared to wait for a long time.

This is not the first time he has come to Mo Castle to deliver an order. It is common for him to have to wait for half a day or even a day. It is not surprising. Especially after what the emperor said last night, he did not dare to provoke Mo Castle.

Even the emperor was unwilling to provoke Mo Castle, so how could a eunuch like him have the guts to do so?

Jimo Wuxuan thought that coaxing her like this would make Qian Diewu happy and not be so angry, but who knew it would have the opposite effect and make her even more angry. He was afraid that she would be so angry that she might get sick, so he had no choice but to follow her will.

He listened to whatever was said, "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense. Don't be angry. Being angry is not good for your health. Be careful of fetal irritation."

"If you are happy, I am happy."

To be precise, she doesn't have a good impression of the imperial decree. The imperial decree will definitely bring bad things, not good things.

Qian Diewu pinched the imperial edict in her hand and really wanted to tear it to pieces. As soon as Eunuch Liu left, she cursed angrily, "What? This is just like being a robber in disguise. Yesterday I couldn't get it by asking, but today I want it through taxes."

Qian, calling him a robber is just to give him face, and robbers still have some principles!"

"Of course I know that you have no feelings for Zhao Yuhua. That's not what I'm asking. I just want to know, will you be unhappy when you see her? What I care about is your mood, not the life and death of others."

"It's okay, I have no feelings for this woman. Whether she lives or dies, whether she lives well or poorly is none of my business." There is only one woman in his heart, and nothing else matters, let alone a woman who has hurt someone before.

His people.

"Die Wu, you don't have to worry about the money. Didn't you say that before? Only by spending some money to build relationships can you do better business, right? As for the common people's affairs, you and I are not members of the court. It's useless to think about it.

"

"The previous tax was 20%. Mo Castle had to pay more than 1,500,000 taels of tax every month. If it were increased by 50%, it would be more than double, probably more than 3 million taels."

The grand decree arrived. Jimo Wuxuan smiled disdainfully and said nonchalantly: "As long as you are happy."

Things that are not brought with you in life and will not be taken with you in death, of course, you should try to use them as much as possible while you are alive. What use will they have after death?

"Yes, I'm very angry now."

"Why do you suddenly want to see her?"

In fact, it's not really an injury.

"Yes, the Lord of the Castle and the First Lady are already grooming themselves. Eunuch Liu, please wait a moment."

"Take your time, don't be in a hurry, I won't go to the accounting office today, I will just stay with you."

"I don't want to be angry, but I just can't help but be angry. Wuxuan, how much will the 50% tax increase mean to Mo Castle?"

"What, more than three million taels. If you add in the free money given to the emperor every month, wouldn't it be five or six million taels? Such a large amount can form a powerful army.

"

Qian Diewu glared at Jimo Wuxuan displeasedly, put her hands on her hips, and reprimanded him angrily, "What do you mean by the tip of the iceberg? Do you think the silver in Mo Castle is like a waterfall, never ending? Even a waterfall has its flow.

time, not to mention your mere Mo Castle? How many people can live with five or six million taels?

Do you know that we are living a happy and healthy life? Although this 50% tax is a small thing for Mo Castle, for ordinary people, it is like a mountain weighing down on them. Many people will not be able to eat because of this, and even

Some people will starve to death, and how many tragedies will happen, do you know?"

"No idea."

This emperor has no common people at all, he is a foolish king.

To be precise, she will never forgive anyone who hurts her husband.

She didn't want to give the emperor her free money, but because of the imperial edict, she had to give it even if she didn't want to, otherwise the trouble would be even greater.

"snort."

"It's not appropriate to talk too much about this matter, lest the walls have ears and trouble comes from the mouth. How about this, I'll take you out to relax today, and you can stop thinking about money, okay?" Jimo Wuxuan took Qian Diewu's hand.

The imperial edict was taken away, thrown on the table casually, and ignored. Obviously, the money was still not taken seriously. 13acv.

"Do you want to take it?"

"Good morning, Eunuch Liu!" Qian Diewu greeted Eunuch Liu, glanced at the imperial edict in his hand, and didn't have much favorable impressions of it.

He is just here to deliver the message, not to cause trouble, so what should he be afraid of?

I'm afraid she will never forgive this woman in her lifetime.

"If you burn the imperial edict, you don't have to give the emperor five or six hundred taels?"

"Hehe! I like hearing this. Who else should I take with me?"

He knew why she was surprised, so he held her face in his hands and said again, "I said I would take you out to relax, would you like to..."

"Don't worry, it won't happen. Your Majesty's time is running out."

Qian Diewu was very angry and glared at Eunuch Liu fiercely, but she also knew that the matter had nothing to do with him, so she reluctantly accepted the imperial edict, "A civilian woman accepts the edict."

It's strange, why did Jimo Wuxuan and Qian Diewu come to receive the order immediately?

"It's not just that I'm happy. I hope you're happy too. If you don't want to see her, then I'll disappear."

"knew."

After much persuasion and comfort from Jimo Wuxuan, Qian Diewu had to accept the reality even if she was unwilling to accept it. When she heard that he wanted to take her out to relax, she was extremely pleasantly surprised. She was afraid that she heard wrongly, so she asked again.

"What did you say just now? Say it again?"

"You, how do you know?"

"Ah...ok."

Before Jimo Wuxuan could finish speaking, Qian Diewu interrupted him, took his arm and walked out, "I am willing, I am willing, let's set off now and have breakfast outside."

"Thousands of wealth are external things, don't worry about them."

After Eunuch Liu finished speaking the contents of the imperial edict, he became even more nervous. His forehead was covered with cold sweat, so he wiped it with his sleeve. After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He raised his head and glanced at Jimo Wu.

Xuan Xuan was immediately frightened by his two sharp eyes and looked away. She did not dare to talk to him, so she said to Qian Diewu: "Madam, please accept the order."

"Eunuch Liu, please have some refreshments first. The master of the castle and the eldest lady will be here later." Manager Xu learned that Jimo Wuxuan and Qian Diewu were washing up, so he came over to inform Eunuch Liu.

"real?"

"Well, no matter how important business is, it's not as important as you, right?"

"Are you still angry?"

"Although money is not everything, it is absolutely impossible without money. The Emperor is simply a bottomless pit. If this continues, Mo Castle will be emptied by him sooner or later. No, I absolutely cannot let him emptied Mo Castle."

"Well..." Qian Diewu hesitated for a moment, then smiled like a flower at Jimo Wuxuan, and said cheerfully: "Why don't we just be the two of us, let's treat it as a date."

"For Mo Castle, five or six million taels is nothing. It's just the tip of the iceberg. It doesn't hurt to give it to him."

Maybe he makes too much money, so he doesn't feel bad at all, or maybe in his heart, some things are more important than money.

"Well, farewell." Eunuch Liu never said a word to Jimo Wuxuan from beginning to end. He just told Qian Diewu that he gave her the imperial edict and left quickly, as if he was running for his life.

Jimo Wuxuan was not that angry. He looked as expected. Seeing Qian Diewu being so angry, he was worried that she would be hurt by the anger, so he quickly came over to persuade her, "Don't be angry. It's not worth it.

If the emperor wants money from Mo Castle, he will do whatever it takes to get it. If he can't get it today, he will use new methods tomorrow until he gets the money. So, there is no need to be angry about this matter."

Thinking of what she had said, Qian Diewu lowered her head and shoulders in frustration, and said feebly: "I also understand this truth, but I just don't want to give away the money you have earned so hard, and every month

They all have to be given away, and the amount is astonishingly large. I..."

Eunuch Liu was a little surprised and thought he heard wrongly. He asked again, "Manager Xu, what did you just say? Will the Lord and Madam be here later?"

"Eunuch Liu, please read out the imperial edict. If the matter is finished as soon as possible, you can go back and deliver the errands as soon as possible, right?"

"Now that the imperial edict has been delivered, I will go back and resume my duties. I also ask Madam to act in accordance with the edict as soon as possible."

"Ah...yes, yes." Eunuch Liu opened the imperial edict. Perhaps because his eyes were dim, or perhaps he was too nervous, he couldn't see the words on the edict clearly.

A new law was passed to levy an additional 50% tax on the people. Mo Castle must pay an additional 50% tax like everyone else."

Just when Eunuch Liu was confused, Jimo Wuxuan and Qian Diewu had already walked into the hall.

"Then let's go to the nearby inn, the one owned by Mo Castle. If you don't mind, I want to see what Zhao Yuhua looks like now."

"Good morning, madam." Eunuch Liu responded politely. He had seen countless scenes, but he was a little nervous at this time. The hand holding the imperial edict was trembling slightly, as if he was afraid of something, but even he himself did not know why he was afraid.

She really feels sorry for the money!

"Then I will burn this imperial edict to let you calm down."

"It's all up to you." Jimo Wuxuan said dotingly. As long as he could see the smiling face of his beloved, he would be willing to spend more money.

"It's nothing, it's just that it's been too long and I wanted to see if she was doing well?" Qian Diewu smiled sinisterly and evilly, with anger still shining in her eyes. She is still so angry at Zhao Yuhua.

"How can you say you have no opinion? This is indeed what I say from the bottom of my heart. Seeing your smiling face is a happy thing for me."

"Okay, okay, stop being glib, let's go." Qian Diewu stopped the topic and pulled Jimo Wuxuan out the door, but her mind was thinking about what he just said, and she felt sweet in her heart.
