Chapter 980 Her Test (1/2)

Some of them stood up, and some were still kneeling. Luo Qingyan looked at the excited faces and complicated expressions in their eyes. After a while, he said, ”I've just ascended the throne, but now the state is suffering from internal strife and external strife. It's my fault. I promise that everyone will be fine this year.”

Luo Qingyan paused for a while and continued, ”The Empress has recently appealed to me for the people, hoping that I can reduce all the tax by half. I thought about it carefully. As the Empress said, since ancient times, heavy tax has always been like a mountain on the people. If this mountain is not removed, the people will never be relaxed. But if there is no tax and no money in the national treasury, we can't offer food to the soldiers who protect us. After weighing the pros and cons, I have made a promise today that I will cut the people's tax by half this year, without affecting the soldiers in the border at all. Within three years, all the people of the State of Xia will have enough food to eat and clothes to wear. ”

Yun Shang turned her head in surprise. She didn't remember that she had mentioned it to him. Why...

While she was thinking, all the people knelt down again. ”Thank you! Long live Your Majesties!”

Yun Shang fell silent. She understood that Luo Qingyan was trying to help her build a good reputation among the people of the State of Xia.

Although she was the Empress, she was just a princess from a foreign country. If she had a good reputation in the hearts of the people, it would be good for her. Yun Shang's heart softened. Even though Luo Qingyan knew that she couldn't give birth to a baby for him anymore and that her only child had mental illness, he was still so good to her.

Luo Qingyan, who was standing next to her, continued, ”The Empress also ordered thousands of doctors to go to every town all over the state and treat the poor people. All the poor people don't need to spend a penny on medical treatment. I will also summon more doctors to join them, and ask the local officials to cooperate them to make sure that all the people will not die because they have no money to see a doctor.”

Looking at the people below, Yun Shang was deeply touched. This man always stood in front of her to protect her and also considered a lot for her.

”I think the so-called prosperity of a country is not because the National Treasury has money, but because the people have money in their hands. I'm willing to build a prosperous world for you and share the good life with you.”

Luo Qingyan's voice was still calm and a little cold, but it made everyone's excited.

”Hail Your Majesty...” The shouts were deafening, but Yun Shang saw a silver light shining in the crowd below.
