To reduce power means to gradually reduce the important hereditary positions of aristocratic families and replace old officials with new ones;
Cut money and reduce the size of the businesses that the aristocratic families use to make money.
Therefore, Li Yuanjing would definitely support the royal merchant group that was loyal to the emperor.
"You are quite clear about this." The Queen Mother could not hide her admiration.
Shen Wei held the Queen Mother's arm affectionately: "I can earn a little money myself and pay a large amount of tax to the treasury, killing two birds with one stone."
Shen Wei helped the Queen Mother into the inner hall.
She had sharp eyes and saw the unfinished sugar biscuits wrapped in oil paper in the storage cabinet.

It's rare to have free time.
Shen Wei decided to have a good sleep!
As soon as she returned to Yongning Palace and entered the courtyard, she saw Zhang Miaoyu's chubby face. Zhang Miaoyu rushed over and grabbed Shen Wei's hand: "Sister Shen Wei, please don't hurt me! Today I pretended to have abdominal pain to reveal to you that Concubine Shu was pregnant, and the Queen Mother actually asked me to manage the harem with you. I don't want to work!"
