What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 112

【The Great Yong Dynasty, with a legacy spanning thousands of years and six diligent emperors.】

【The national treasury was abundant, and the country’s strength was formidable, truly a scene of a prosperous era.】

【Millions of taels of silver were nothing to the Great Yong Dynasty’s treasury.】

【But all the ministers present knew.】

【This precedent of distributing money couldn’t be set!】

【The court had always been the one collecting money for thousands of years, and now, suddenly, they were supposed to give it away?】

【How was that possible?】

【Moreover, tax exemption itself was not appropriate.】

【Exempting for a year was already considerable, but you, going for three years right off the bat.】

【What would the court eat during those three years?】

【How would the entire dynasty operate without money?】

【These were all issues that needed consideration!】

【Amidst the ministers’ heated discussions, Ye Yu remained unfazed.】

【Instead, he looked delightedly at the Finance Minister.】

【Only half a year’s taxes, you say?】

【Then change it, give each person three taels of silver.】

【If we’re going to distribute, we should do it joyfully!】

【Upon hearing this, the Finance Minister instantly lost his breath.】

【He collapsed in the grand hall.】

【The surrounding ministers immediately began to revive him.】

【More ministers, however, knelt on the ground.】

【They started pleading with Ye Yu to retract the decree. Even some of those who had already submitted to him did the same.】

【The reason was simple.】

【Exempting taxes for three years, plus giving each person three taels of silver, this would undoubtedly cause a huge impact on the dynasty’s treasury.】

【This couldn’t be done!】

【Ye Yu’s loyal follower, Sun Longhai, also looked distressed.】

【He stood there, unsure of what to do.】

【From any angle, this decree was absolutely unreasonable.】

【But Ye Yu had just ascended the throne and needed support.】

【So, choosing between frank advice and unwavering loyalty was a dilemma.】

【Just as Sun Longhai was feeling conflicted, he suddenly received Ye Yu’s transmitted thought.】

【Begin the battle, Prime Minister Sun!】

【Hearing this, Sun Longhai’s face immediately turned red. He was indeed of first rank, but not the prime minister.】

【The position of prime minister was the highest a civil servant could attain!】

【It was every civil official’s dream.】

【Being addressed as Prime Minister Sun was more than a title; it was a promise.】

【In that case, what else was there to say?】

【The emperor’s words were always right, even if they weren’t!】

【Let’s fight!】

【Sun Longhai stepped forward and abruptly turned, facing the ministers!】

【He began his fervent defense.】

【In his excitement, he even started throwing punches.】

【The court was in chaos, a scene of utter bedlam.】

【Ye Yu didn’t intervene at all.】

【He only cared about the outcome.】

【The process didn’t matter!】

【The next day, Ye Yu’s decree was announced throughout the entire dynasty.】

【Three years of tax exemption, and three taels of silver per person, to be delivered to everyone.】

【Any region where the people did not receive their silver and tax exemption notice, the local officials would be executed without question.】

【After this decree was implemented, the entire nation rejoiced.】

【All the common people couldn’t help but praise, believing they had welcomed a benevolent ruler.】
