"Senior Sheila, why do you ask for the issuance of food stamps?" The Fabie Euro of the financial team questioned Sheila in an oppressive voice.

Sheila really felt a lot of pressure when the other party was so aggressive. She used the records of history books she had read to dilute the anxiety in her heart. Although the senators quarreled hard, they were useless in the end. Because the Senate was actually unable to solve the problem, their only ability was probably to issue a "final advice" to the consul. After issuing the "final advice", the Senate would be able to kill the consul without trial.

That year, Caesar was issued a "final advice" by the Senate and declared him a traitor. As a result, Caesar led his troops into Rome and destroyed the Senate. In addition to this system, the Senate was just a place for quarrels or assassination.

Since that is the case, the elder on the other side must just want to establish his image by scaring Sheila. Sheila's father had predicted this possibility long ago and had discussed with Sheila how to deal with it.

Sheila took a breath and exhale to calm herself down. When her heartbeat returned to normal, Sheila glanced at the elders. Then she looked at the Fabie Euro with a threatening expression. Sheila asked: "Why is it our food team proposing to issue food stamps, rather than the finance team proposing to issue food stamps?"

Fabio was stunned. He wanted to force Sheila to give her reasons, and he would criticize her fiercely no matter what the reason was. The senators in the Senate were all powerful, but the focus of the public was mostly on the daughter of the little noble family who suddenly jumped up. As a woman, she could be ranked in many men, and Sheila's rise made the great nobles with a long history seem nothing great.

Sheila's rhetoric question was far beyond the imagination of the Fabie-European elders. He was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer. The financial team is now fighting openly and secretly, and they all want to gain leadership. The national fiscal policy is far from being considered by the veterans.

Seeing Fabio being asked, the elders burst into laughter. This made Fabio angry and angry, he could only shout: "Your proposal is just a nonsense! I would not propose such a proposal!"

"May I ask Mr. Fabio, have you bought anything?" Sheila asked calmly.

"Of course!" Fabio replied casually.

"May I ask Mr. Fabio, if you don't have money in your pocket, will you still insist on buying things?"

Sheila's calm attitude and obviously arrogant way of asking questions made Fabio very dissatisfied. He said angrily: "How come I have no money!"

"Yes, you are very rich. So I ask Your Excellency Fabio, how much does the treasury still have now?" Sheila continued to ask.

Fabio was stunned. He remembered that he had read such a document. According to Tiberius' proposal, the court would provide relevant information to the elders. However, the financial group was fighting in an internal battle, and who was in the mood to see the thick thing? What's more, Your Excellency Fabio did not recognize so much, so it was very painful to read the document.

Seeing Sheila looking at him quietly, Fabio felt that things were not good, so he turned to defense and continued to shout: "I'm asking you why you want to make such a proposal?"

"His Excellency Fabio, this is the information given to our elders by the court. From page 27, it is the financial data of the empire." Sheila said while holding up the booklet at hand, "His Excellency Fabio, you should have read it?"

"I'm asking you why you want to make such a proposal." Fabio could only continue to yell.

Now, many of the veterans who were watching the fun turned from gloating to disdain. Everyone really wanted to know why Sheila proposed such a proposal, but the reason for concern was to find out whether doing so could bring benefits to the empire. Of course, everyone would also analyze what benefits they could get from it. Fabio's purpose was different from everyone. He really thought that everyone could not see that he wanted to win his personal reputation by intimidating Sheila?

In many disdainful eyes, Sheila continued: "Then I think Your Excellency Fabio does not know how much money there is in the empire's treasury."

Fabio said angrily, "How could I not know?"

So Sheila looked at him quietly, waiting for him to say the number. Fabio was blind now, but he was not a good person. After awkward silence, he suddenly laughed, "His Excellency Sheila, since you say you know, then say a number and see if what you know is the same as me."

Sheila said: "According to the information, there are 97,000 gold coins of each era and 199,000 silver coins of each era in the imperial treasury."

"Oh?" Fabio responded sarcastically, took the information book from the MP next to him, turned to page 27 and looked at it a few times, then pretended to be generous and smiled: "Haha, Miss Sheila, I admit that you are right. It seems that you should have spent a lot of time reading these yesterday."

Such deliberate belittlement made Sheila feel angry, but what his father said was still clearly remembered in his heart. "The Gragu brothers were able to speak out the pain of the people back then. I don't want you to be as reckless as their brothers, but telling the truth and leading the argument to the truth is the most effective way."

Many veterans have never read this book very much. At this time, everyone should either read it quickly or look around the elders who had already started reading it. Seeing this data, many veterans took a deep breath.

"Mr. Fabio, I know you are rich," Sheila continued. "If we assume you leave your purse at home when you go out, will you continue to buy things?"

Fabio knew that he could not scare Sheila at first, and now he would have greatly reduced the effect. It would be great if Sheila was scared to tears at that time. However, the time has passed, and Fabio chose not to make useless efforts. He smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Sheila will continue shopping even if she didn't bring money?"

Sheila completely ignored this seemingly playful ridicule, and she continued: "My parliamentarians, the situation in Eastern Rome is only slightly stable, and the crisis has not been resolved. In the past, the imperial court did not use gold and silver coins to pay for the import of Yuan food, but used four-party payment money to pay, so what everyone saw was a large amount of food entering the granary from the port and then distributed to the families of soldiers. I remind everyone again that the previous support for the purchase and sale of food in urban people did not use gold and silver coins, but used four-party payment money that everyone did not see or use very much. So we have a feeling that the imperial court is very rich and very good.

Money! Everyone is very clear about the situation now. The Yuan Dynasty no longer sells grain to us. If you buy domestic grain, you have to use domestic money. You don’t know if you are clear about what I said. In the past, the food transactions of the imperial court did not require the use of the money from the treasury. A large amount of grain entered the city and distributed to the citizens, and the treasury did not use the money from the treasury, so the treasury looked very full. Now you need to use the money from the treasury to buy food. After reading my report, you will understand that the money from the treasury is not enough. This is like buying things. If you don’t bring money, use what you want to buy."

The elders understood this a little and couldn't help but nodded slightly. The elders who heard this for the first time were stunned. They had no way of understanding how they could buy so much food without treasury expenditures. This operation was beyond their imagination.

After the whispering discussions below subsided, Sheila continued: "Since the treasury has no money, I can only use one kind of money to buy food temporarily. Unfortunately, I thought the financial group would make such a proposal first, but I have not seen the financial group propose relevant proposals until now. One of the responsibilities of our agricultural group is to propose relevant proposals and hand them over to the Senate for discussion. So everyone saw the proposal of the agricultural group. Dear veterans, I wonder if you have any questions about this proposal?"

Fabio also listened seriously. He really didn't know the process of purchasing food in the past. He just saw the court suddenly making a lot of food like magic under the leadership of Basels. Hearing Sheila ask if the elders have any objections, he quickly organized his thoughts in his mind, trying to embarrass Sheila.

Unexpectedly, other veterans had already stood up to speak, and the chairman of the meeting agreed to one of the speeches. Fabio heard the chairman of the meeting continue, "His Excellency Fabio, please return to your seat."

"I..., I haven't finished asking yet!" Fabio expressed objection.

"Hisada Sheila has answered your question just now. If you ask Hiraa why she had proposed such a proposal, she has answered it just now."

"But I have other questions." Fabio said quickly.

The Chairman replied: "Your question has been asked, and you should ask His Excellency Lukesius to ask questions. If you want to ask again, please apply later. Please return to your position."

Fabio was resentful, but he knew that he could not continue to stay on the inquiry table. Because Lucaius had come over, the Imperial Guard, who was in charge of the order of the Senate, was also staring at Fabio. According to the constitution formulated by His Excellency Tiberio, the Senate Council who was in charge of the order was dragged down by the Imperial Guard. If he insisted on fighting against the order, the Senate was punished that he would not be allowed to enter the Senate for 7 days.
