Chapter 691 Intimate
Not only the courtiers were surprised, but also the emperor was surprised.
"The brat has grown up and now he has the courage to take responsibility."
"Then tell me how you want to punish him?" the emperor asked with a smile.
Ning Xi calmed down her carefree expression and said seriously: "Your Majesty, you said before that you would exempt Xiacheng from taxes for ten years as a reward for this military exploit. I am very grateful."
"I have always kept the emperor's kindness to me in my heart over the years, always thinking that one day I would repay you, and now I am taking this opportunity to step into my duty as a minister."
"The treasury of the State of Yin is tight, and there are indeed many places in the country that need to be spent. I am willing to use the taxes that Xia Cheng gave to the court to do these things that benefit the country and the people."
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue were stunned at first and then happy. Soon Ning Xi broke their happiness.
"This is a gift from the emperor, so I just want to dedicate this money to the emperor and put it into his private treasury. The emperor can use this money to play with it as he pleases, as long as he is happy."
"I believe that this money can only be put to practical use in the hands of the emperor. I also hope that the country will become richer and stronger, and one day it will be among the powerful countries."
Ning Xi is a smart person. If she openly uses this money for people's livelihood, although the emperor will not doubt her intentions, there will always be people who will provoke her. Who knows whether it will change over time.
Therefore, it is better for the emperor to use the money to benefit the country and the people. After all, he is a good emperor who works hard to govern. He will do things better with money.
In addition, the emperor was so kind to her, and she had always wanted to repay him, so she decided to give the emperor money to play with and unite the people to arm the country.
Ning Xi was smiling, and her figure looked a bit thin, but now everyone felt that her figure was a bit taller.
Jing Ruofeng was stunned for a moment, and then there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes. He was relieved and touched. His Xiao Xi'er was so warm-hearted and considerate!
"Okay, Xi'er is interested. If all the officials in our country are as considerate as you, I will laugh out of my dreams." Jing Ruofeng said in a good mood.
It can be seen that this is Ning Xi's wish and he will not refuse it. It just so happens that some previous plans due to lack of money can be implemented. Ning Xi is the lucky star given to him by God.
"..." The courtiers all wanted to roll their eyes. They wanted to be as considerate as Prince Ning, but they didn't have the ability to make so much money!
But having said that, Prince Ning was really generous. He gave so much money to the emperor as he said. Although it was a bit like borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, it still required a lot of courage to do it.
No wonder the emperor likes this dude so much, it makes sense.
"Your Majesty, please don't praise me, I will be embarrassed." Ning Xi said with a smile.
The emperor said amusedly and dotingly: "Why are you so shameless? You can just tease me as much as you want."
Others also thought it was funny. Prince Ning would be embarrassed. That sow could probably climb a tree.
Taking advantage of the emperor's good mood, Ning Xi took out two contracts from the storage bag and handed them over.
"Your Majesty, this is signed by the minister and the two countries. You can discuss it with the minister to see if there are any problems. I will ignore it."
Ning Xi used the word minister, which meant that this was a state matter. The word "important minister" emphasized the tone and reminded the emperor not to let too many people know the contents of the contract.
