After the marriage, I married the most treacherous minister of the dynasty

Su Qingwan was satisfied with this answer and hoped that they would remember what she said today.

Just as Yan Mingjue said, he came back soon.

In fact, given his current status, it was inappropriate for him to do so, but no one could persuade him.

After the family finished dinner, the two little guys went out sensibly, while Yan Mingjue and Su Qingwan walked in the yard, just like an ordinary couple.

Without Su Qingwan saying anything, Yan Mingjue started talking about his plan first.

"I plan to release all the extra maids and eunuchs in the palace."

If they want to go home, they can go home. If they don’t want to go home, they can make a living by relying on their life in the palace.

This will reduce a lot of expenses.

In the past, he felt that there were too many people in the palace, but now he can't use any of them.

"All of Father's concubines will remain in the harem. Only the people who serve them will stay."

In this way, at least half of the people can be laid off.

In addition, the imperial kitchen and laundry house no longer need so many people.

Yan Mingjue's action might cause a lot of trouble. Su Qingwan was a little worried about him, but Yan Mingjue said:

"If we can't even do this well, how can we allow more children from poor families to enter the court in the future?"

Moreover, he had an even bolder idea, which was to allow women to serve as officials.

He hasn't said this yet because he knows it will be the most difficult.

But how can we not try?

Seeing that he knew what was going on, Su Qingwan stopped trying to persuade him.

Then, Yan Mingjue talked about his plans and renovations for the imperial palace.

After he finished speaking, he said:

"If the palace becomes like this, would you be willing to bring your two children to live in it?"

Su Qingwan looked at him, she could feel Yan Mingjue's nervousness.

She smiled brightly.

"If it's really as you said, then I'm willing to move."

She was talking about moving!

Yan Mingjue immediately understood what she meant, with joy and disbelief in his eyes.

"really?"

"Yes!"

Su Qingwan held his hand.

"We said we would work hard for each other."

Yan Mingjue had already let her see his attitude, how could she possibly ignore it?

Yan Mingjue didn't say anything, but just hugged Su Qingwan tightly.

As Su Qingwan had expected, Yan Mingjue encountered many obstacles in his attempt to release the palace maids from the palace.

The court officials were all on their knees begging the emperor to revoke his order, and some old officials cried and said that such a thing had never happened before.

Yan Mingjue's attitude was also very firm. If it didn't exist before, it would exist in the future.

Most importantly, he said:

"The entire harem costs millions of taels of silver a year."

"Now, the treasury is empty, and the silver saved can just fill the deficit."

"You can change my mind if you want me to. Whoever is responsible for the expenses of the imperial palace every year, I will revoke my order."

This immediately shut everyone up.

That's several million taels of silver. Who would be willing to pay for it out of their own pocket?

Besides, speaking of it, with fewer people in the palace, there would be less gossip.

When you think about it this way, it seems not bad?

So, in the end, the matter was settled like this. When Su Qingwan heard the news, she couldn't help but sigh. Yan Mingjue really understood them the best and knew what to say to make them shut up.

However, Su Qingwan didn't want Yan Mingjue to bear a bad reputation.

She thought about it and found Jingzhe. Soon after, news spread in the capital that the new emperor had allowed the palace maids and eunuchs to leave the palace and return home to reunite with their families.

He also said that the saved money would be used for the people's livelihood.

This news was confirmed as batches of palace maids and eunuchs were released. At one time, not only the people in the capital, but the entire Daqing Dynasty knew about it.

Everyone says that the current emperor is kind-hearted and a wise ruler.

When the court officials heard the news, they could only sigh that the emperor really had a virtuous wife.
