Chapter 188 The position of the Crown Princess cannot be given up
Wen Zhimiao walked out of He's house, jumped on his horse, and rode away.
Chu Qiu followed behind her, not daring to go far away.
Wen Zhimiao originally thought that He Yuanyao was already quite leisurely, but when he returned to the palace he discovered that Yun Zhou was even more leisurely than He Yuanyao.
He Yuanyao just lay there eating and drinking.
Yunzhou watched the shadow play directly in the Zhangtai Hall.
There were also musicians playing music nearby.
Yunzhou was half lying on a recliner, eating some fruit and watching the show leisurely.
Wen Zhimiao strode towards Yunzhou.
When those people saw her and were about to salute, Wen Zhimiao waved her hand and said, "No need to do that. Just continue doing what you should do."
She walked up to Yun Zhou and said, "Zhou Zhou, you look so relaxed."
"This is what I got for my hard work over the past ten years. I deserve it." Yun Zhou looked up at Wen Zhimiao with a smile.
When Wen Zhimiao heard her words, he was speechless.
"Right."
Wen Zhimiao also sat beside her and watched the show with her: "Why isn't mother accompanying you today?"
"The master is looking for her. He said that she is involved in the canal corruption case." Yun Zhou was chewing watermelon seeds, as if he was talking about a very ordinary matter, not a major case that might shock the court and the public.
"Corruption in the canal transport? How dare they! These people are so bold. They think that the canal has been much smoother and more profitable in recent years, right?" Wen Zhimiao clicked his tongue twice.
"Is that so?" Yun Zhou nodded.
Wen Zhimiao looked at her left hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. It's none of our business. How's your hand?"
"I still feel a little weak. I guess I need to rest for a few more days." Yun Zhou glanced at his left hand which was still hanging.
"Then take good care of it. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow." Wen Zhimiao also grabbed a handful of melon seeds and continued to eat them.
Yun Zhou paused, then sighed: "Be careful when you go there, the miasma is still quite dangerous."
"I won't wander around. I'll stay in Prince Shun's fiefdom. It's not a place full of miasma. Besides, the South Country has been developed a lot in recent years. It's much better. Don't worry so much."
"As for you, you must bring guards with you when you travel. You are encouraging mother to reform the tax system and the land system. It would be strange if those local tyrants would let you go."
"I'm going to visit Jiangnan." Yun Zhou suddenly said to her after Wen Zhimiao finished speaking.
"Huh?" Wen Zhimiao didn't expect this.
"The new taxation system in Jiangnan has been in pilot for five years. The memorials and documents all seem good, but I'm not sure if it's a lie. There are countermeasures for every policy. Your mother said I'm stubborn and told me there's no perfect system in the world, but I still want to do my best, at least do my best within my ability."
Wen Zhimiao reached out and tapped her head: "You are indeed being stubborn again."
"If you do everything yourself, won't you be exhausted to death?" Wen Zhimiao poked her face. She knew why Yun Zhou thought so. She was like this in her previous life, always stubborn about certain things.
But Wen Zhimiao could also understand that once personality and habits had been formed, it would be difficult to change them.
If elite families have a high tolerance rate for mistakes, then even an occasional failure is not a big deal, while ordinary families may not be able to withstand a serious mistake in life.
Then Wen Zhimiao and Yun Zhou would find it difficult to even afford small mistakes, because they don't even have their parents to back them up.
So I always get used to doing the best I can do, being responsible for myself and others.
In the past ten years since Su Qingluo ascended the throne, he has rectified the administration of officials, reformed the military system, eased the north-south party disputes, actively controlled water, built canals, and encouraged economic development.
In the past ten years, the population of Apocalypse has grown a lot and the economy has prospered a lot.
However, with the development of the economy, land annexation has become more and more serious, and the original taxes have become increasingly unsuitable.
Five years ago, Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou piloted the new tax system in several places.
Now that five years have passed, Yun Zhou wants to see the results before promoting it nationwide.
It was just a pilot project, and the pilot sites selected by Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou were all places where the economy and population had just begun to grow, and there were no major obstacles to its implementation at that time.
This matter has been promoted nationwide and has been mentioned several times in the court. I guess some people are starting to get restless.
Moreover, there was a rumor that the emperor wanted to take back all private land and that people would only be able to lease state land in the future.
Wen Zhimiao stretched and looked at Yun Zhou: "Zhou Zhou, I think you put too much pressure on yourself."
"This world is not yours. No matter what, it is my mother's world. Why are you under so much pressure?" Wen Zhimiao asked with a smile.
Yunzhou:......
"you're right."
"You have to be open-minded. It's impossible for a person to do everything in his life."
"As for you, just give me a few more years and you can retire peacefully." Wen Zhimiao looked at Yun Zhou with a smile.
Yun Zhou laughed: "Have you figured it out?"
"I figured it out." Wen Zhimiao nodded.
"When?"
"When you and A Yao were injured." Wen Zhimiao answered her honestly.
Yun Zhou was slightly stunned and did not say anything, but waited for Wen Zhimiao to continue.
"After you were injured and unconscious, I understood. I am the only princess of Tianqi and the only heir of my mother. Whether I think about it or not, this is the fact."
"If I don't become an emperor, many people won't tolerate me. I will either surrender and obey, or die."
Wen Zhimiao lazily ate a piece of cake: "But it seems that I can't do any of them."
"With my personality, it's impossible for me to be obedient. Why should you let me die?" Wen Zhimiao raised the corner of his mouth.
"Also, mother is right. It feels good to sit there and give orders. It is best to hold power in one's own hands."
Yun Zhou looked at Wen Zhimiao.
He chuckled and said, "You're right. Then you should do your best. All I can say is that I will try my best to finish the work on hand before running away."
Wen Zhimiao gave her an OK gesture.
"no problem."
"Then do you still want to go to Jiangnan?" Wen Zhimiao asked again.
"Go, I've been in this world for so long, but I haven't had a good time. Although I go back to the Summer Resort every year, I just go from one palace to another. It's boring. I want to go out and see the world." Yun Zhou said truthfully.
Wen Zhimiao laughed when he heard this: "Oh, let's go play while we're at it, that's fine."
"Take my mother with you? How will she go?" Wen Zhimiao felt that her stingy mother would definitely not agree with Yunzhou going out to play alone.
"No, go see the beauties of Jiangnan by yourself." Yun Zhou said half-jokingly.
Wen Zhimiao couldn't help laughing.
"I'm going to complain."
"You go, she doesn't believe it."
Wen Zhimiao:......
Indeed, how can she compare with Yun Zhou!
