In the apse of the Qianming Palace, when the ministers retreated, the empress patted her cheeks and felt relieved.

"I knew that I would continue to sit on the seat of the community, and these mundane trivial things are really a headache. ”

The empress spit bitter water, "The chaos in Wenzhou in Songzhou has not been solved yet, and Chen Shihong has been driven away, and his son Chen Chongmeng came up with a shy face again, and many civil and military officers also helped him speak and praised his strategy of quelling the chaos." ”

"The autumn solution of the household department is even more of a headache, my father threw me a treasury full of white strips, and they even stuffed white strips into it!"

"Even if there is no white stripe, it is enough nonsense, 257.5 billion! The lord of Aurora, who has trillions of people, is only 284.5 billion in the autumn liberation! This is still the number calculated by adding the grain, silk, and golden dragons together, and the golden dragon is less than 100 billion!"

"Tens of millions of soldiers in the 24 guards of the land, sea and air, tens of millions of officials in 5,000 counties in 300 prefectures, plus the Wuzhong Palace and the Zhu family clan, all rely on this 100 billion golden dragon to feed, it is really more difficult to be in charge of the Ming Dynasty than a good woman!"

Ai Tosaka didn't quite understand after calculating, "100 billion is not a lot, counting the soldiers and officials can get 5,000 gold dragons each, and ordinary people can already live a good life by earning 500 gold dragons a year." ”

"It's not enough to have a dog to eat," said the Empress, "and it costs money for chariots and warships, ammunition and fuel." ”

"Aren't planes, chariots, trains, warships, guns, and swords all molded," Ai Tosaka had no idea about the economy, "what does it cost?"

"The mold machine can make things automatically, so someone has to operate and guard it. Raw materials don't come out of thin air, someone has to raise them, and many materials have to be processed in workshops. There is an endless amount of coal under the ancestral mountain, and Xingtian also uses coal digging as training, but he also has to find someone else to transport the coal out. ”

Speaking of this empress, she gushed, "Even if it is just to open a telephone line, you have to support someone to ensure that it is unimpeded, and it costs thousands of gold dragons every year." It is said that there are tens of millions of soldiers and tens of millions of officials, plus these manpower is hundreds of millions. ”

"And is 100 billion a lot?" the empress pouted, "Just ask Xiaoqing and you'll know, Jin Shenghui pays one billion Golden Dragon Ticket Tax every year, and I'm afraid they earn more than 10 billion, right?

"It's no wonder that when I came here just now, the courtiers who had retired from the court were muttering about selling the property of the Ministry of Industry and Railways or ...... The IPO, "Ai Tosaka is doing her best to help the Empress find a way," sounds like a good idea. ”

"This matter is very staked," Shangguan Qing, who was sitting in the corner, put down his pen and joined the discussion, "The slave maid hasn't figured out the joints, but the rules of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years have their own reason, and it is not appropriate to change them hastily." ”

"There hasn't been an empress in the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years," Ai Tosaka disagreed, "The rules are used to break." ”

"Okay, state affairs must be cautious after all, so let the courtiers discuss it first," the empress sighed, "The problem is that Songzhou and Wenzhou have to send forbidden troops to quell the chaos, and the military spending of tens of billions of dollars has not yet been seen, so you can't give everyone a white note." ”

"The slave and maid urged the household department to recalculate," Shangguan Qing also sighed, "The old accounts of the first emperor's era are in a mess, and the forced household department should be able to free up this money." It's a monolithic household, and His Majesty has to move the knife in personnel. ”

"Look, I'm really embarrassed as an emperor," the empress spread her hands, "besides this, there are headaches. There are a lot of notes on the impeachment of Shao Hao, all of which say that he made a big move in Xicheng, and the people of Zhongjing were horrified, and the new Zhongjing Mansion Yin was about to die again. ”

"Speaking of which......"

Tosaka smiled, "I have good news for Your Majesty." ”

Returning to the "dormitory" that was just a small courtyard, the empress asked impatiently: "Don't hang my appetite, look at your eyes and know that it has something to do with him, say it quickly." ”

"Gaode is going to concentrate on pensioning?"

Hearing Ai Tosaka say this, the empress couldn't help but be overjoyed at first, then pouted and was a little disappointed, her pupils turned around, and her eyebrows danced again.

"I know what's going on," she said, slumped on the limp floor, "Grandma said that the demon that Gao De bumped into yesterday was quite powerful, and she chased it again." I really don't know how Gao De managed to beat that guy away, but he must have been scared. ”

"His sister has also been implicated," Ai Tosaka agreed with the empress, "He must have thought it was too dangerous to continue to charge, so he adjusted the mahouting, and asked me for control of the Harano TV, and was ready to devote himself to supporting the matter." ”

"This is also the credit of Xiao Ai," the empress was happy, "You made a good horse eunuch, Shao Hao is a good person." I'll protect him, just let him charge. ”

The empress hugged the soft pillow, and her jade white face was full of longing. "Then I can go home every day and enjoy his craft. ”

"Before the door has passed, I'll take him as the house," Ai Tosaka was slightly pantothenic and couldn't help complaining, "Even if you dare to marry as Li, he may not dare to marry." ”

"How dare he not marry me!"

The empress was angry: "He's done, he's done it all!"

Touching her lower abdomen, she hummed: "It's a pity that she didn't get pregnant, otherwise Li would have gone straight to him with a big belly!"

"You're a Sage," Ai Tosaka rolled her eyes, "you can't conceive." ”

The hand stopped on the lower abdomen, and the empress's breathing was slightly rough, "That is to say, ......"

Seeing that the empress swallowed her saliva, Ai Tosaka was even more upset. "Miss him? miss his stinky body, want to relive ...... with him You're a sage, aren't you afraid to slide into the abyss of evil if you indulge in that kind of thing?"

"The Sage is also a human being!" the Empress blushed, "that kind of pleasure is natural! Why can't I enjoy it?, and where am I addicted, I just want to ...... You tried to eat a candy, and you didn't have time to taste it carefully in a panic, and then you haven't eaten it for more than a month!"

Ai Tosaka's face was expressionless: "Don't talk about this kind of thing to unemployed girls." ”

Seeing that the empress was sulking with a pillow, Ai Tosaka smiled again: "Then Your Majesty's plan is to go directly to the door and push him down?"

"Of course not," said the Empress, who was not on the same channel as her, "I just arrived." ”

"Your Majesty," Tosaka patted his forehead, "I mean, even if you push him down again, all you get is physical pleasure, and that's you...... No, does Leigh want that?"

The empress froze, thought about it and shook her head firmly: "Of course it's not what Li wants, what Li wants is a warm and quiet harbor." The body is secondary, the mind is the most important. ”

"Then you'll have to start from scratch," Ai Tosaka said as an emotional advisor, "and you have to conquer him mentally, not by the power of the Sage." Since it is Brother Gaode who you value so much and has promised him for life since he was a child, not only will he not succumb to power, but he will also be very disgusted. ”

"Of course he is not," said the Empress without blinking an eye, "the world in his heart is so vast, how can he succumb to power?"

And then I was a little confused, "How do you start from scratch?"

"Your Majesty, there are some things I've always wanted to say," Ai Tosaka finally found a chance, "Brother Gao De in Li's heart is only a memory of ten years ago, when he was still a child. Now that he has grown up, there must have been a lot of changes, just like Your Majesty...... Oh, Rei became like an Ice Sage. How can you be sure that he is still the brother of Gao De in your mind, how can you be sure that he will definitely be the harbor of Li?"

"He's still him, just like I'm still me. The Empress didn't use her brain to think about it, "I have no doubt about it. ”

Tosaka rubbed his eyebrows, "Okay, after this period of contact, I can roughly confirm that he is still a ...... Good guy ......"

"And very capable!" added the Empress.

"Hmm...... Capable ......" Tosaka sighed, "In every aspect, he is unexpectedly capable, but after all, he is a mortal." Without His Majesty's blood transplant, he would have been cold. ”

"It's hanging my appetite again," the empress urged, "Say, say whatever you want, there should be no estrangement between me and Xiao Ai." ”

"I mean," Ai Tosaka doesn't squirm anymore, "you should lower yourself to the perspective of a mortal, re-examine him with a mortal eye, and get along with him with a mortal identity and attitude, just like two mortals who gradually go from strangers to lovers and eventually become family." You can confirm in this process that he is still the same Gaode brother, and with this process, he can also take care of Li as a mortal and give Li a good harbor. ”

The empress tapped her finger to her chin, and her pupils bloomed: "Good idea, good idea!"

His fingers moved to the center of his eyebrows again, and he asked distressedly: "But it hasn't been solved yet, how can I start from scratch?"

"Your Majesty......"

Ai Tosaka was quite frustrated, and the empress didn't consider the option of "examining Gaode" at all, just thinking about how to make Gaode accept her.

A woman in love is really unreasonable, and the Fuso girl once again confirmed this terrible thing.

"From ...... Let's start holding hands," she had to continue to be a kobold military advisor, "just like ordinary men and women, start holding hands." ”

With a definite answer, the empress nodded steadily, her eyes swaying with anticipation.
