I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 755 Long Live the Emperor! (25)
Money is not everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible.

As a monarch, Yu Muhuai was able to deeply understand the meaning of this sentence.

Especially when a king is poor.

She was queen before, but the country was very wealthy back then!

Unlike when we first came into this world, when we were poor and destitute, and the soles of our shoes were almost worn out.

Once Cong Kingdom had money, it had the funds for transportation, enabling it to transport unique resources from the north to the south.

This includes livestock such as cattle, sheep, and horses, as well as metal ores, etc.
A virtuous cycle has been formed within Congguo, which can further stimulate the people to work hard, engage in agriculture, and participate in industry and commerce.

Some ministers, driven by curiosity, mustered their courage and asked Yu Muhuai questions.

"May I ask Your Majesty, how did you learn that there are silver mines in the southwest?"

Yu Muhuai smiled, a smile that carried a hint of mystery.

"I, the Emperor, will observe the celestial phenomena tonight."

Okay, that's the sentence again.

Often, when the emperor made sudden decisions that ultimately proved to be wise and correct, she would explain them in this way.

A perfectly good monarch was turned into a charlatan.

Yu Muhuai didn't care what others thought; he just blamed it on the moon and stars.

Moon and stars:
Although Yu Muhuai now owns a mine, and it's a pure silver mine.

However, Yu Muhuai still felt that the money was not enough.

As the ruler of a country, the expenses are simply too great.

No matter how much money I have, I always feel it's not enough.

Yu Muhuai now feels like a glutton, never feeling full no matter how much he eats.

I'm distressed; I miss the days when I didn't have to worry about money.
After a long and busy day, Yu Muhuai returned to his bedroom to rest.

However, as soon as she stepped inside, she sensed that something was wrong.

There are people inside.

Just as she was about to call for help, she heard light footsteps.

Yu Muhuai recognized the person who came.

My tense nerves relaxed instantly.

Something was wrong. After realizing something, his relaxed nerves suddenly tensed up again.

"emperor."

A person walked out from behind the screen.

Empress Xue Rong.

Yu Muhuai thought for a moment; it seemed like a month or two had passed since their last meeting.

Xue Rong took graceful steps and walked up to Yu Muhuai, giving him a very proper bow.

In recent years, the situation in Cong Kingdom has been getting better and better, and the harem is no longer as strapped for cash as before.

However, Xue Rong still maintained her previous virtues of diligence and thrift, and used this to restrain the behavior of the harem.

Many thanks to this knowledgeable and reasonable empress, who has saved Yu Muhuai a lot of trouble.

But
Yu Muhuai sighed silently; there were some things he was destined never to give her.

such as
Da Bai: It's okay. Go and experience the might and might of being a man. Maybe you can even have eight times in one night or two women at once.

Yu Muhuai: You come here.

Big White: No way! Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have the strength.

Yu Muhuai: Then shut up.

Big White: Hmph.

Yu Muhuai raised his hand and helped Xue Rong up.

Feeling the warmth of the other person's hand, Xue Rong's body trembled slightly.

She looked up and met Yu Muhuai's eyes.

As she watched, Xue Rong's eyes welled up with tears.

In recent years, the Emperor has not only not favored her, but has also not shown affection for any of his concubines. As a result, the number of imperial offspring has remained unchanged, maintaining an unprecedented nine.

The number of people in the harem has decreased rather than increased, and the emperor has never held a selection of concubines.

Whenever a courtier mentioned it, the emperor would immediately refuse with a serious expression and a cold, hard tone.

The reason is.

"The country is beset by famine and war, with many people still starving and freezing, and vast tracts of land coveted by others. I have no desire to undertake this matter!"

Those who dared to offer advice were either severely reprimanded or, in more serious cases, dismissed from their posts.

With such swift and decisive measures and a firm stance, the voices of advice in the court disappeared.

Xue Rong didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Her position in the harem was unshakeable, but she felt herself getting further and further away from the emperor.

She understands her husband less and less.

When Yu Muhuai saw that the other person looked like they were about to cry, he immediately let out a silent wail.

This was the first time she had become a man, but she never expected that she would become a man with a harem of three thousand beauties.

Although the number of concubines wasn't as exaggerated as three thousand, there were still dozens or even hundreds.

This included many beauties that Ping Qinian sent in to distract Wan Zhixin.

Yu Muhuai was never good at handling emotional matters, and now that so many women from his harem had suddenly arrived, he felt even more overwhelmed.

At first, there will be some restless girls who want to make their presence known to her.

But Yu Muhuai ruthlessly ignored them all.

If they interfere with Yu Muhuai's work, she will punish them without hesitation.

This ruthless approach was exactly the same as when he was in the imperial court, showing absolutely no mercy.

Seeing this, the concubines in the harem were all terrified.

As time went on, the concubines' restless thoughts gradually subsided, to the point that no one dared to casually linger in front of Yu Muhuai anymore.

It's not that Yu Muhuai was heartless; it's just that her heart wasn't in it!

If it weren't for the well-being of the concubines, and the fear that they would have nowhere to go and suffer a miserable fate after leaving the palace, Yu Muhuai would have dismissed the harem long ago.

This was a feudal era of patriarchal society where women's status was far inferior to men's. Ordinary people rarely remarried after divorce, let alone women who came from the palace.

Who would dare to approach the emperor's former woman?

Most women's families would not take them back to their parents' homes.

If Yu Muhuai were to do such a thing, it would be tantamount to cutting off the lives of these women.

She wouldn't do something so heartless and cruel.

The national treasury is currently quite well-stocked, so keeping some women in the palace is not a big deal.

As long as they don't cause trouble, it's fine.

The Empress Xue Rong in front of him was truly well-behaved, never caused any trouble, and was of great help to Yu Muhuai, managing the harem in an orderly manner.

Xue Rong, with tears in her eyes, looked closely at Yu Muhuai.

The man before me was still tall and handsome, his appearance unchanged from before.

But her eyes changed.

Whether before or after ascending the throne, whether they were trembling with fear when they first entered the palace or later kept a low profile and prepared to make their move.

Back then, he was always gentle and loving towards her.

However, although the current emperor's behavior and mannerisms have not changed, he has become much more unfamiliar and distant.

His eyes were like still, deep wells, calm and serene. It seemed that all the things in this world were merely fleeting clouds to the Emperor.

Xue Rong didn't understand the reason for the other person's change.

She lowered her eyes, and a tear slid down her cheek.

"Your Majesty, has I done something to displease you recently, and have you become angry with me?"

Yu Mu Huaitou is big!
I'm on the verge of a breakdown.
