Top Ten Good Mothers in Quick Transmigration Chapter 405: : Prince Xiong’s Empress (forty)
"You have lost a total of 43,046,721 taels."
When this number hit Xiao Chen's heart, his pupils constricted suddenly: "Why, how could that be?" At the beginning of the bet, he only heard about the two-and-a-half opening and then he didn't care.
For him, three taels of silver are nothing, he has already thought about it, no matter how much he loses, it will be a few thousand taels of silver at most, how could it be more than 40 million.
Yin Yin approached him a little more, and said, "Xiao Chen, do you know what this money represents? This is half a year's tax revenue from the national treasury. Do you know where the tax revenue of Xiao Kingdom comes from?
This tax mainly comes from farmers. Do you know what farmers do? Do you know how hard they have to work to pay enough taxes? Do you know what Xiao Guo used these taxes for? Taxes are collected from the people and used for the people. But now, if you lose money, we as parents naturally can't ignore it, but where does our money come from?
We can only get so much money from the treasury, but after paying off your gambling debts, what should they do? What should Xiao Guo do?
Xiao Chen, when you were twelve years old, you were not too young. When your father abdicates, you have to take his place, but how do you do it? Is it possible that you want to be a subjugated king and let the Xiao Kingdom that has been passed down for so many years be destroyed in your hands? "
Every word of Yin Yin's words is like a stone weighing a thousand gold, falling on Xiao Chen's heart.
He was stunned, at a loss, and also panicked. It was a kind of panic that he had never experienced before, a kind of fear that came from the bottom of his heart.
Ever since his father became the emperor, and since he became the prince, Xiao Chen knew that he would become the emperor one day.
He has a restless temperament, and he thinks that many things may not be done well, but he regards becoming an emperor in the future as his own responsibility, and he never thought of giving up.
He thought, he is actually not smart, let alone governing the country, nor can he be a prosperous king, but he will learn to distinguish right from wrong, keep this country well, and pass it on to the next generation.
But he didn't expect that he would be stupid today.
He came to the gambling shop to gamble and lost more than 40 million taels of silver. Naturally, he couldn't afford that much silver, but just as the queen said, the father and the queen couldn't ignore him. Help him pay off his debts.
But more than 40 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to half a year's tax revenue of the Xiao Kingdom, if it is used to pay off his gambling debts, what will the people of the Xiao Kingdom do?
Father has just ascended the throne, and the government has not yet stabilized. If so much money is handed out at once, the ministers will definitely have opinions, which is extremely detrimental to father.
As his mother, his mother allowed him to gamble in the casino and lost so much money, so he would definitely be impeached by the minister.
He harmed the people of the Xiao Kingdom, his father and mother who loved him dearly.
Xiao Chen, who had figured out all the relationships, turned pale and trembled all over.
He wanted to say that he was wrong, but he opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, as if he suddenly lost his voice.
But he couldn't think of what he should do to restore the current situation.
Seeing him like this, Yin Yin's anger finally subsided, and she pulled him behind her: "Think about it carefully."
Speaking, Yin Yin looked at the steward and made a move that no one expected.
"The steward, I want to bet with you too." As soon as Yin Yin's words came out, the gambling house fell silent for a moment, especially the steward, who was instantly stunned.
The steward looked at Xiao Gen from the corner of his eye, but at this moment Xiao Gen didn't dare to look at him.
