When the five important ministers saw that the emperor insisted, they didn't persuade him much.

The Great Xia River, which had already fallen into the hands of Dong Sancai, was forcibly reversed by His Majesty with his own strength, and they also felt in their hearts that maybe His Majesty was right this time.

Of course, they are all people with extremely high intelligence, and of course they also know that at this time, if they still follow the same path, it will indeed be difficult to reach the peak again, and even, the princes from all walks of life who intend to divide the territory will not be able to solve it.

"Let's draw up an edict first, as for how to develop commerce, you must also think about it after you go down, now that it is winter, it is difficult to freeze many people to death in the northern region. Liu Hao said.

The five nodded, and went back to their department.

Soon came two edicts, both of which they had just discussed.

One was to order the princes to return their lands, and the other was to re-measure the land and reduce the taxes of the people by half.

Liu Hao glanced at it, then directly stamped the jade seal and sent it to Shangshu Province, so that Cao Meng could carry out the two edicts.

When these two edicts were issued, the entire imperial capital immediately caused an uproar.

This re-measurement of land can be said to have harmed the interests of countless wealthy families, of course they did not do it, and countless official documents have suggested that Liu Hao cancel the re-measurement of land.

Liu Hao ignored this.

He's racking his brains right now to figure out how to make money.

At this time, it was winter, although it had not snowed yet, but the temperature was only 4 to 5 degrees, and even in the room, it was still a little cold, and the eunuchs kept changing the charcoal fire for him.

When Liu Hao was drinking tea, he happened to see the eunuch changing coals, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"By the way, I don't know if there is coal in this world, if there is coal, it can really solve a lot of problems. ”

Liu Hao knows that in this era, no one in this world has used coal, and charcoal is still used for heating, cooking, smelting, etc.

Therefore, the smelting technology at this time is also very backward.

"Is there any coal on the planet where this world is located?" Liu Hao leaned back in his chair, constantly searching for his memory.

At this moment, the voice of the system came from the brain, and when he heard this voice that had not appeared for several days, Liu Hao suddenly came to his senses.

"Ding ~ the people's heart breaks through 1,000, and the lottery function is activated. ”

Then Liu Chen saw a light curtain appear in front of him, there was a turntable on the light curtain, and there was a button to start the lottery below, and there was a number 1078 next to the button.

And that number is constantly increasing.

He tried to click to start the lottery, and a line of words suddenly popped up on the light curtain: 10,000 people's hearts draw a prize, please earn the host as soon as possible.

"The sudden increase in public sentiment should be the effect of the previous tax halving. ”

Liu Hao thought about it for a while, and then he understood what was going on.

In the past two days, he has continued to issue new policies, among which the most intuitive benefit for the people is the halving of taxes.

In this way, many people will not only have enough food to eat, but may even have a surplus, so that they can sell it or exchange it for something else.

In this way, of course, the people will have to thank him as emperor.

This is the so-called popular will.

However, he does not know whether this popular sentiment value is calculated according to the number of people, or according to what basis.

Anyway, this is a dead system, and he has to figure out a lot of things by himself.

"The people's hearts have risen to more than 2,000, so fast, what will be drawn in this lottery?" Liu Hao suddenly looked forward to it in his heart.

He was in trouble at this point, and he was eager to see if he could improve the situation with the system.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asks to see you. ”

At this moment, the eunuch stepped forward and said.

Liu Hao withdrew from the system when he heard this, he frowned, and finally said, "Let her in." ”

Empress Dowager Li has always been his biological mother of this body, his cheap mother, and he can't be seen all the time.

Although she had always been very ambitious before, after seeing Liu Hao's ruthlessness and indifference in the past few days, she didn't do anything like a demon moth.

Empress Dowager Li is only 35 years old, and she looks very young, but she already has a few wrinkles on her face, and I don't know if she is worried these days.

After greeting each other, Empress Dowager Li looked at this somewhat strange son with mixed feelings.

This son reversed the decline of Great Xia overnight, but also took down all the supreme power of her Li family.

"What is the queen mother looking for?" Seeing that Empress Dowager Li was looking at her in a daze, Liu Hao asked.

Empress Dowager Li came back to her senses, with a kind smile on her face, and said, "Son, you are not young anymore, next year will be the age of your wedding, my mother plans to choose a concubine for you, do you think about this?"

It may be that Liu Hao has been too indifferent in the past few days, and Empress Dowager Li is a little cautious in her speech.

In this world, a man is only considered an adult at the age of 16, which is still a little different from ancient China.

Especially in the royal family, when a man reaches the age of 16, he must get married.

This is a tradition, and it is also a system that has been passed down for many years.

Liu Hao didn't expect that Empress Dowager Li was looking for him for this matter, he thought about it and nodded: "This matter will be handled by the mother." ”

He knew that if he didn't get married next year, all the officials would not agree.

Although he wants to change all these undesirable systems or some traditions, he knows that many things cannot be rushed, and if they are too hasty, they will achieve the opposite effect.

After chatting with the Queen Mother for a while, the awkward atmosphere between the two finally eased a lot.

Before the Empress Dowager Li left, she also told Liu Hao not to work for the transition, saying that his father was the transition and passed away so early, and he never mentioned that none of the people in the Li family were reused by Liu Hao.

Maybe she also knew that it was not appropriate to mention these things at this time.

In short, today, she feels pretty good about Liu Hao.

Maybe Liu Hao himself thinks too much, aside from his soul, this body is indeed born by the Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li had ambitions before, perhaps because the original owner of this body was too wasteful.

Watching Empress Dowager Li leave the Chengde Hall under the escort of several palace maids, Liu Hao slowly sat back and continued to think about his plan to make a fortune.

"Ding~ The people's hearts have exceeded 10,000, and you can draw a lottery. ”

At this moment, Liu Li received a system prompt again.

"What will be drawn?" Liu Hao's eyes lit up, and as soon as his mind moved, he called up the system interface.

He's been traveling over for a few days, and he hasn't been out except for the first day when the system sent him a newbie gift package.

It was not until the next change, when the policy of halving the income was promulgated, that the system reappeared.

At this time, Liu Hao encountered a difficult matter, and his heart suddenly rose with anticipation.

Can this lottery solve the current dilemma?
