On this point, the two of them obviously had similar views. They both felt that the current troubles of the Qin Dynasty were natural disasters and man-made disasters, and then the lack of money and food.
"You are not wrong. The Qin Dynasty is indeed facing natural disasters and man-made disasters, and it is indeed short of money and food."
Zhao Xin nodded slightly, but then added in a deep voice, "But these are just superficial issues at hand. The real problem of the Qin Dynasty lies in the powerful aristocratic families."
The two were startled when they heard this, and subconsciously tightened their hands.
Because to some extent, both of them came from powerful families.
Among them, Su Qingyu came from a relatively low background. His father and brother were originally minor officials or even merchants.
Later, Su Qingyu married into the royal family, and the Su family began to improve. However, because Zhao Xin himself could not make a name for himself before, the Su family naturally would not have any great prospects.

After all, no matter what, they are all Zhao Xin's wives and members of the royal family.
Moreover, although Zhao Xin had many concubines, only these two were truly favored by him, and Nan Luoying, who had not yet entered the imperial family, was barely considered favored.
Besides, the emperor trusts them so much and is so open with them, so why shouldn't they work together with the emperor?
Both of them couldn't help but feel a little guilty for a moment, but then they put aside their distracting thoughts and listened carefully to what the emperor was saying...
