"You may be curious about what this account book is."
"This account book records the compensation of silver and treasures from the Liu family."
"After an overnight inventory by the Ministry of Revenue, Your Majesty discovered a terrifying fact: the total amount of money hidden in his family is equivalent to our annual treasury revenue!"
"How much was the annual revenue of the Great Zhou Dynasty's treasury? And yet, Grand Tutor Liu has taken so much of it all. It seems our Western Factory hasn't conducted a thorough investigation, and there are still some fish that slipped through the net."
"Many cities have been affected by the war, and yet, Taifu Liu is still in a high position. What does this mean?"
"As a remnant of the previous dynasty, a high-ranking official with great power and wealth, he has so much to offer, yet he doesn't consider the people and instead raises grain prices for his own selfish gain!"
When Lu Yun said this, he was so powerful that all the ministers present were shocked and speechless.
They never expected that so much gold, silver and treasures could be found in Liu Taifu's house. He usually took a lot. Liu Taifu was really greedy.
What does this old man want so much money for? Is he really planning a rebellion?
"What you may not know is that Taifu Liu is accompanied by a number of deadly guards, and a lot of armor, weapons, and bows and crossbows were also found in his home!"
"So many things were found in the home of an old minister and a tutor. What was he going to do? Was he going to rebel? You should have understood that this tutor Liu had already made plans to rebel long ago."
"Besides that, our people from the West Factory have already found out that this Liu Taifu is the one who manipulates the grain prices behind the scenes, and those grain merchants are also in collusion with him.
After taking out all the grain from those grain merchants, there will be enough food for the people of the entire city to eat for a month or so."
"Taifu Liu is the most dangerous cancer in our Great Zhou! He wants to rebel, it's nothing more than being pushed into a corner. Plus, he also made preparations in advance, otherwise he wouldn't be so quick. It's nothing more than this eunuch pushing him into a desperate situation."
At that moment, many ministers present suddenly realized and understood.
It turns out that these are all true!
This Master Liu is indeed extremely hateful. There is something wrong with the timing of his appearance. It seems that everyone’s guesses are similar. Master Liu is indeed a vicious person!
Many ministers hated Liu Taifu's behavior, and his followers were all extremely terrified.
As expected, the emperor gave an order to interrogate and torture them.
Once Tutor Liu fell, his power collapsed. Now, there is much harmony in the court.
After all, the appearance of Tutor Liu had an impact on many ministers in the court, especially the two prime ministers. They all felt that Tutor Liu was deliberately making things difficult for them.
…
At night.
harem.
The bedroom where Liang Jing resides.
Defei Wang Yanran was called into the bedroom, her face full of excitement.
She said happily, "Your Majesty, you finally summoned me."
"I truly know I was wrong. I really didn't do anything like that. I thought Your Majesty would no longer care about me."
"I am truly wronged. I truly know I was wrong. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Liang Jing took a look and said calmly, "De Fei, of course I know you are wronged in this matter. How could I possibly put the blame on you?"
"Don't overthink it. I asked you to come here today simply because I want my beloved concubine to serve me properly in bed."
"Your Majesty..." Wang Yanran glanced at him shyly.
I finally have the chance to sleep with His Majesty again, but it’s because my belly is so uncooperative. It’s been such a long time and there’s still no movement!
He even began to suspect that there might be something wrong with him, so he quickly went to see a doctor.
"Alright, Concubine De, I'm a little tired."
So, Lu Yun once again became a substitute and fought directly against Wang Yanran for three hundred rounds. Both of them were extremely excited!
On the vast grassland, Lu Yun rode a horse and had fun all night long, which was very wonderful.
After the matter of Tutor Liu was resolved, the price of grain in the capital finally recovered.
For the people, as long as they could eat cheap food, it was good enough. However, they did not expect that the court would conduct such a strict inspection this time.
After this incident, Liang Jing finally realized that these officials had embezzled a lot of money and grain.
After this money is deposited into the national treasury, it can be used to provide the imperial court, the Great Zhou, and the people with an opportunity to have a rest and reproduce.
At the same time, after discussing with Liang Jing, Lu Yun believed that the next continent should rest and recuperate and develop the economy well.
In short, they must not continue fighting, but it is a time of chaos, and under the current circumstances, they have no choice but to fight. They must also find a way to increase food production.
At the same time, we must ensure that the people can live and work in peace and contentment so that development can continue.
These days.
General Shangguan Yun and his son Shangguan Yan, you have returned to the capital.
Shangguan Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was no longer any danger at the border. They only needed to manage the trade between the two countries well.
As for Shangguan Yan, after this training, he has matured a lot and finally witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield. He is no longer as youthful and frivolous as before, but has become very cautious.
Thousand Swords Pass.
The border between the Barbarian Kingdom and the Great Zhou.
Before, people here were in a panic. Many armies were stationed here. The common people did not dare to go out or come and go in such a bustling manner.
But now it is different. After the two countries signed the contract, the border has become extremely lively, especially in the city of Qianjian Pass.
You can see many people wearing grassland clothes doing business there. Some of them use their money to buy their own cattle and sheep, and some use their own horses.
In short, trading here is very friendly to the people on the grassland, and it is also very friendly to the merchants from the Great Zhou.
At Qianjian Pass, merchants from the Great Zhou and the grasslands benefit from each other's trade.
There were even many merchants from the Great Zhou who went directly to the depths of the grassland, intending to do business in Sun City and Golden City.
After all, now they don’t have to worry about thieves or those bandits on the grassland robbing them.
After all, after signing the contract, Caoyuan has promised safety to these merchants.
"Oh, I never thought that I would be so familiar with Eunuch Lu and the princess."
"Everyone, I think I'm bragging. The Queen and Eunuch Lu of our Great Zhou are very familiar with me. I'm a great contributor to the development of merchants."
"Wang Dafu, you are bragging here again."
