Li Yi did have a lot to say to Yang Liuqing.
She not only wants to conquer the world, but also learn to secure the world. The latter is more difficult than the former, but also more important.
She has already taken the position of empress, but this is not the end, but the starting point. Governing the country does not depend on magic weapons or punishment from heaven. If she wants to sit in this position for a long time, she must learn these things.
Li Yi went to a hall and sat down, and was about to speak, when he saw Yang Liuqing standing there, he was startled, and said, "Sit down."
Yang Liuqing shook his head and said: "Uncle Master teaches, I just need to stand and listen."
What Li Yi was about to say was actually meant to be admonishing, but with such a correct attitude, he couldn't say it.
After all, she is not Ruyi's little apprentice now, but the emperor of a country. Although he has not been polite to the emperors of Jing and Qi, she is one of her own no matter what, Li Yi softens her heart.
He coughed lightly and said, "You... you sit down first."
Yang Liuqing sat down opposite him, raised her head, and looked at him seriously.
I didn't feel it just now, but now that she looked at him like this, Li Yi felt a little uncomfortable, and didn't know what he wanted to say for a while...
I remembered.
As the capital of the Wu Kingdom, the infrastructure of the imperial capital needs to be taken care of. The streets of the imperial capital are full of stinky ditches and potholes. Sitting in a carriage around the city can kill you...
Also, is a crowded street a place where horses can be ridden? What should I do if I bump into someone
Also, the parents and officials in Jing County colluded with the big families in the city, turned black and white, and judged the case in a muddle. Is this the style that an imperial capital should have
This is still the case in the imperial capital, let alone other places, how did she become the emperor
Li Yi thought of this, looked at her, and saw that she was looking at him sincerely.
Li Yi looked at her, thought for a while, and asked: "The emperor is different from the princess. You have to worry about big and small things. This is the first time you have come into contact with this. Are you still used to it these days?"
Yang Liuqing lowered her head and said, "I was not used to it at first, but I gradually got used to it."
"Nothing can be done overnight." Li Yi stood up, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her: "Step by step, these things, take it step by step."
Yang Liuqing looked up at him and asked, "Master, what should I do?"
Li Yi is not good at being a teacher, but when his nephew looks at him like this, and regards him as the backbone or reliance, he is still somewhat satisfied.
The first impression that the imperial capital gave him was that it was dirty and messy, which not only related to the face of a country, but also easily caused more problems.
If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and if you want to rule the country, you must first build roads. For the people of Ruyi City and Shuzhou, this concept has been integrated into their bones.
Li Yi thought for a while, and said, "Let's renovate the big and small roads in the imperial capital first."
"It's easy to say." An old voice came from outside the hall, and an old man named Yang Wanli walked in from the outside, looked at him, and said: "The savings of the treasury have long been consumed by the traitor. I can’t even get my salary out, so how can I have spare money to do those things? Will you give it?”
Why didn't Li Yi realize that this old fellow Yang Wanli was so shameless.
Wu Guo is the Wu country of the Yang family, but not the Wu country of the Li family. Why should he give money
His shameless vigor already has Li Xuan's three-point demeanor.
"Uncle Emperor..." Yang Liuqing walked up to Li Yi and shook his head at Yang Wanli.
Li Yi has always felt that problems that can be solved with money are not problems, because making money is not a problem at all.
The same method has been used by Jing Guo and Qi Guo before, so there is no reason why it can't work in Wu Guo.
Looking at Li Yi's expression, Yang Wanli was overjoyed, and immediately asked, "Did you have another bad idea?"
…
Zhang family.
The head of the Zhang family had just been fined a large sum of money by the court because his youngest son rode a horse in the street.
The silver is small, but the face is big, the Patriarch of the Zhang family sat in the hall with a gloomy expression, he didn't finish his cup of tea, when someone hurried in from outside.
"Brother, something is wrong!"
Patriarch Zhang looked at the middle-aged man who ran in from outside in a hurry, and frowned, "What's the matter?"
The middle-aged man panicked and said, "Brother, the imperial court just sent someone over to take away all the account books of the household department!"
The Patriarch of the Zhang family glanced at him, and said calmly: "Take it away, take it away, the accounts of the household department are checked several times a year, can they find out anything this time?"
The Zhang family's standing in the Wu Kingdom is not only based on the family heritage accumulated over the past few decades, the officials of the household department, except for the minister, and a small half are all students of the Zhang family. Controlled.
Seeing the indifferent look of the Patriarch, the middle-aged man felt a little relieved, but he still said hesitantly: "For some reason, I always feel that this time, something is different."
"What difference could it make?"
The middle-aged man thought for a while and asked, "If they really find out what we have done in the account books over the years, what should we do?"
"Okay, don't scare yourself." The Patriarch of the Zhang Family waved his hand and said, "Every year I hire accountants who are good at arithmetic and are extremely clever. There are so many account books in the household department. They check It won’t be found until next year.”
…
It was only five days since Zhang Chen, the youngest son of the Zhang family, rode his horse in the street, and the Zhang family was confiscated by the court. Nearly 100 people including the head of the Zhang family were thrown into prison.
It is said that the Zhang family has been in charge of the household department for many years and has embezzled millions of taels of silver from the state treasury. The value of the property confiscated from the Zhang family is unknown.
A generation of wealthy families collapsed overnight.
In the next half month, countless families of all sizes were confiscated within the imperial city.
These families did many evil things on weekdays, not much better than the children of the Zhang family who rode horses in the street, but no one has been rectifying them, and the people have suffered greatly.
For a moment, in the imperial city, everyone applauded.
For the time being, the big families who lived in peace were also panicked.
For the first time, they discovered that the empress who had just ascended the throne was not as weak and weak as ordinary women, she acted vigorously and without showing any sympathy.
The families that were seized were all official residences that were found guilty of embezzling ink, and those who were not found out did not dare to rest assured.
Even a family like the Zhang family will fall as soon as they say it, and General Wei Liangwei will personally lead people to search it. No matter if these big clans attack, it will cast a cloud over the entire imperial capital.
…
In fact, Li Yi has long discovered that although Yang Liuqing has high martial arts skills, high status, and looks very strong on the outside, she still has the weakness of a woman in her heart.
She holds the military power in her hand, facing those disobedient big families in the imperial capital, she can actually suppress them by force without any reason, so what else needs to be investigated
Of course, the former method is unpopular, and Li Yi does not advocate it.
If it wasn't for this time to spend time with Ruyi, it would be a good choice to bring Mingzhu.
The current Yang Liuqing, except that she has one more queen's crown than the Pearl of the past, is actually in the same situation.
The road that Mingzhu once walked is the road she will walk now.
Of course, she is much luckier than Mingzhu, and she doesn't have to take any detours. Everything is done step by step. The current Jingguo is the future Wuguo.
When Yang Wanli walked in from the outside, his expression was a little ugly.
He looked at Li Yi and asked, "Do you know the emperor of Qi?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "It's a good friend."
"That friend of yours has already wiped out half of the small country in the west." Yang Wanli said with a dark face, "What exactly does he want to do?"
"The Lord of the World."
Li Yi said something casually, and continued to help Yang Liuqing write the Queen's strategy.
"What?" Yang Wanli had a look of shock on his face: "This person has such great ambitions?"
Li Yi raised his head and said, "Otherwise, he was full to destroy Zhao and the Western countries so quickly?"
Yang Wanli looked at Li Yi and asked, "What about Wu Kingdom?"
"Wu Guo..." Li Yi put down his pen and said, "Maybe when the countries in the west are wiped out and you are free, it will be Wu Guo's turn."
Yang Wanli showed worry on his face, and murmured: "If he really destroys those countries, how powerful the Qi Congress will become, even if there is a day's punishment, we are not Qi's opponents."
Li Yi didn't speak.
Yang Wanli looked at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled, and said, "Boy, you won't sit idly by, will you?"
Li Yi looked at him and said in surprise: "Shouldn't this be something you Wu Guo should worry about?"
Yang Wanli looked at him and said with a sneer, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to, it's already at this point, just admit it!"
Li Yi was stunned, and asked, "What do I admit?"
"My Yang family has no young men anymore, you let Qing'er be the queen, just for the sake of someday..."
"Don't spout blood!" Li Yi stood up abruptly, pointing at him.
Yang Wanli looked at him and said, "I haven't finished talking yet!"
"No?" Li Yi was startled, and then said: "Then you continue."
