In the harem late at night.
Liang Jing, like a little girl, gently leaned on Lu Yun's shoulder and whispered, "I'm so tired, Xiao Yunzi. Sometimes I just wonder how nice it would be if I could be an ordinary girl again."
"You know what? I really want to be like Ye Jiajia now."
"She is carefree and has no worries at all."
"She is like a free bird, free to come and go. She is also a master of your caliber, so she can travel to the ends of the earth without any problem. But I can't go anywhere."
"If I could become her, I could travel around the world with you, and I could also go shopping with you."
"This is so wonderful."
Liang Jing sighed, feeling helpless.
However, Lu Yun gently comforted him, "Your Majesty, you are now the Supreme Ruler, the Son of Heaven, the Emperor. It is difficult for you to be an ordinary woman and have sex with Your Majesty.
We can only do everything we can to make the Great Zhou even stronger. Perhaps in the future, there will be a chance for Your Majesty to escape."
"Or, if Your Majesty really wants to go out for a stroll, there is another way."
"What?" Liang Jing was a little confused, frowning.
"Ever since Ye Jiajia pretended to be the emperor last time, she's been quite excited. I think you two could really switch gears. You look pretty much the same anyway, and Jiajia has a disguise technique."
"Your Majesty, if you really want to leave and travel around, perhaps you can use this method. As for the ministers in the court, Your Majesty can choose not to attend the court and let the two prime ministers handle everything."
"Is this okay?" Liang Jing hesitated, but he knew whether to say it or not. He was still a little nervous and excited. If he could really travel around and leave the capital, his life would not be in vain.
This emperor suffers so much every day, and he can't leave. He has no freedom at all. Whoever wants to be the emperor can be the emperor.
Of course, Liang Jing is not a little girl, and she knows very well in her heart that the burden on her shoulders is the entire Great Zhou, and her current position is very important.
Once she quits or doesn't want to be the emperor, it will cause a bloody storm, and in the end it will be the ordinary people who suffer. Why should I bother?
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can use this trick. If it doesn't take too long, the ministers won't have any objections."
In this way, the two people talked to each other in the garden, leaning against each other and looking very intimate.
Liang Jing no longer looked like an emperor, but rather like a girl. However, at this moment, Lu Yun quietly put his arms around her slender waist.
Moreover, the hands are not honest at all.
In the darkness, there was no one around, so Liang Jing naturally didn't say much.
I thought, forget it, Xiao Yunzi is already like this, what's wrong with me letting him do it? Besides, it's pitch black, so who can see or know?
She was actually a little confused. She didn't know why, after what happened last time, she seemed to be leaning towards Lu Yun.
At this moment, a voice came, "Hey, what are you doing? What if there are people around here?"
"Don't worry, no one's here."
All I saw was a man dressed as a eunuch holding a palace maid and biting her wildly. His posture looked rather strange.
Moreover, Liang Jing felt very embarrassed when he heard this voice.
"What are they doing?"
Liang Jing asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, don't you know? It's not just Your Majesty who has been trapped in this palace. The concubines are also trapped inside. The palace maids and eunuchs are also trapped inside. Especially some palace maids, they have been staying in the palace without men."
"We can only find eunuchs. At least they look like men. Although they don't have that ability, they can still do some work. So this has become a tradition in the harem."
"Oh..." Liang Jing suddenly realized.
"It turns out that I am not the only one trapped in this palace. There are others as well."
Liang Jing raised a wicked smile, walked forward, and suddenly coughed loudly.
“Who’s here?”
"Get out here!"
Upon hearing this, the eunuch and the palace maid were frightened and hurried out. When they saw the emperor, they were immediately frightened out of their wits and quickly knelt on the ground and shouted.
"Your Majesty, we didn't mean it, Your Majesty. We really didn't know."
"Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Liang Jing rolled his eyes at the two of them, especially the husband's wife, whose clothes were disheveled and her hair was messy.
"Alright, alright, I just happened to be passing by, there's no need to be nervous."
"Haha, interesting." Liang Jing smiled slightly, then left with Lu Yun.
…
The next day.
In the court.
All the ministers gathered.
Liang Jing explained to them, "My dear ministers, I have been thinking about a question recently. These businessmen can indeed make our Great Zhou rich and strong.
But if they are not restrained, it will have a huge impact on the people and our Great Zhou."
"How do you think we should deal with this matter?"
At this moment, Lu Yun stepped forward and explained in front of the ministers.
"Your Majesty, I think merchants should be properly restrained, especially the larger merchants. They are too powerful and control a lot of money."
"In order to prevent grain merchants from banding together and raising grain prices, which would harm the people, as happened this time, we must impose sanctions on them. Especially for the prices of many items, we cannot allow merchants to set their own prices."
"I suggest that the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, and the Western Factory unite to form a powerful organization called the Commercial Supervision Department."
"As the name suggests, we monitor these merchants. If they raise prices or do anything that harms the people, we can arrest them at any time, interrogate them, and force them to lower their prices."
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Liang Jing nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, after all, it's not right for some people to go too far."
"Also, the tax revenue and grain for the national treasury must be improved. Many people deliberately concealed the amount, causing the poor people to pay taxes while the rich did not."
"The Ministry of Revenue also needs to be cleaned up!"
Lu Yun's words made many ministers present very confused and shocked. Eunuch Lu actually wanted to clean up the Ministry of Revenue.
Does he really have this ability? The Ministry of Revenue is not something that can be moved by anyone.
"Jin Lu, aren't you going a bit too far? You're trying to take advantage of us, are you planning to make a fortune from this?"
"Because I don't know what you are thinking. You dare to meddle in the Ministry of Revenue. As a eunuch, what can you come up with?"
"You are so shameless!"
Yang Zhong shouted loudly, extremely angrily.
