The empress's eyes wandered, and after a moment of silence, she shook her head helplessly.

"That's it, little Dongzi, you are a pillar of talent. How can it be wasted on such a trivial matter as breakfast! ”

Yang Dong's heart moved, and he already felt the loss in the empress's tone.

So he smiled faintly and said slowly:

"But from now on, I will come every ten years to make breakfast for Your Majesty, of course, not just breakfast, it may be lunch, or...... If you don't mind, Your Majesty, dinner is fine. ”

The empress glanced at Yang Dong angrily and made dinner for herself? Is that for dinner? I don't think this kid has any good ideas at all.

"Okay, okay, don't mention this matter again, you can do it yourself."

The empress waved her hand, then stood up and walked in the direction of the study.

Yang Dong didn't think about it, so he followed. He knew that although Lin Chunqiu's confidant had been solved, this time Da Zhou was also a big injury.

If there is another snow disaster or something this winter, Da Zhou will not be able to deal with it at all, and then it will be the real purgatory on earth.

Thinking of this, Yang Dong began to become worried again.

Seeing this, the empress faintly flashed a touch of joy between her eyebrows. As long as Yang Dong thinks about the people, then this person can be bold to use.

But if one day, when he begins to seek personal gain, regardless of the life and death of the people, even if the empress has a heart for him, she will definitely not hesitate to take off his head.

Perhaps this is the difference between an emperor and an ordinary person.

"Let's talk about it, now that the Great Zhou is in ruins, what do you think?"

Yang Dong pondered for a moment and decided to say the extremely bold idea that had been prepared for a long time in his heart.

He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, if you don't break it, you don't stand it, and then you stand after it breaks, and now the Great Zhou is at the critical moment of breaking the cocoon into a butterfly. Therefore, I believe that there needs to be a big political reform in the Great Zhou. ”

When the empress heard this, she did not open her mouth to comment, but looked at Yang Dong deeply and asked:

"Don't talk to me about these empty words, I just want to know what you are going to do."

When Yang Dong heard this, his expression suddenly became extremely serious. He straightened up, adjusted his clothes, and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard a saying that the economic base determines the superstructure?"

The empress frowned, first shook her head, then nodded.

"I can probably understand what you mean, but this way of expressing it is quite novel."

Yang Dong did not respond to the empress's words, but continued to speak:

"Actually...... I can also put it another way, and call it hiding the wealth for the people. As the so-called warehouse is sufficient, and knows the season, food and clothing are sufficient, and knows honor and disgrace. ”

The empress's eyes lit up, Yang Dong's statement, she had naturally heard of it, in fact, she had always thought so and done so.

It is precisely because of this that when Luozhou flooded later, almost all the ministers in the entire court were waiting to see the empress's jokes, but no one expected that Yang Dong, who was born out of nowhere, turned the tide and did not say anything, but also firmly bound the entire Luozhou and the capital through the high-speed official road.

I heard that the high-speed official road in Shuzhou is also in full swing, but because Shuzhou has not been thoroughly developed at this moment, and the mountain road is extremely rugged, the construction of the high-speed official road is a little slow.

And the most prosperous Jiangnan area in the Great Zhou Dynasty is the party that even the empress never dares to offend now.

There are many wealthy families in Jiangnan, and they have always been wealthy, so hundreds of years ago, there were some wealthy families, and these wealthy families almost controlled all walks of life in Jiangnan.

This has led to the fact that no matter how the dynasty is changed, the Jiangnan clan is still standing, and even if anyone can get the support of the Jiangnan clan when they are competing for the world, then he will basically win half.

So after compromising and retreating again and again, in addition to nominally belonging to the Great Zhou, the Jiangnan region had its own taxes, but they did not have to pay taxes to the Great Zhou, and even raised a lot of private soldiers.

In general, it is not an exaggeration to call the Jiangnan region a country within a country.

"Your Majesty has you considered it, Jiangnan region?"

Yang Dong suddenly spoke, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes.

Today's Jiangnan region, for the Great Zhou, is not only not a rich place, but can be described as a big trouble.

At this moment, Lin Chunqiu has already carried the banner of rebellion, but he has not yet gained a firm foothold.

After he gains a firm foothold, if he colludes with the Jiangnan clan again, it can really shake the foundation of the Great Zhou.

Therefore, the Jiangnan region must find ways to eliminate the threat here.

"What, you want to do something to those wealthy families in Jiangnan?"

The empress frowned, shook her head and said:

"Xiao Dongzi, those wealthy families in the Jiangnan region are not as simple as they seem on the surface. If you want to do something to them, it's not that easy. ”

"Do you know that in recent years, there has been a saying in the Jiangnan area. With the wealth of the Jiangnan region, it is completely self-reliant as a country, and there is no need to bow down to the Great Zhou. ”

When Yang Dong heard this, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.

"Since Jiangnan doesn't recognize our Great Zhou, why should we care about them."

"Your Majesty, I have a plan ......"

……

The discussion in the study lasted for nearly four hours.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that Yang Dong was slightly tired and blasted out of the study by the empress.

The empress's cheeks were crimson and bright, she glared at Yang Dong's back viciously, and stomped her feet very childishly.

Xiao Dongzi, this bastard, when he talks about business, he talks about business, why are those cheap hands not honest at all!

The next time he dares to do so, I will cut him down......

The empress just wanted to say that she cut off his pair of cheap claws, but after thinking about it, her caress of those cheap claws seemed to be extremely useful.

Her pretty face flushed again, and after taking a sip, she closed the window of the study with her backhand.

On the other side, after Yang Dong left the study, he did not return to the small building of the West Factory, but went straight to the Cold Palace Manufacturing Institute.

Today's Cold Palace Manufacturing, with the god-level figure of Lu Lao, has been favored by His Majesty, and its development can be described as thriving.

At this moment, Lu Lao is sitting on the recliner with peace of mind, basking in the warm winter sun.

Beside him, there were two handsome little palace maids, one was responsible for peeling the grapes, and the other was responsible for feeding the grapes into Lu Lao's mouth.

Not to mention anything else, this enjoyment alone made Yang Dong feel a little envious.

Lu Lao originally squinted his eyes, enjoying the service of the palace maids, but suddenly his eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Dong with a surprised expression:

"You kid, why are you willing to come to the old man?"
