Zombie travels through time and space to become the empress, who only wants to be a jerk and not att

"Ugh..."

At this time, a servant hurried into the flower hall.

Before he could speak, He Pingzhang waved his hand.

"Whose banquet is this?"

"Reply to the post and say I'm not feeling well and won't go."

"No, sir, a man claiming to be Qi Yuan is visiting."

"I asked him what he wanted, and he just told me to tell you his name."

"Who? Qi Yuan?" He Pingzhang quickly jumped down from the flower bed.

The attendant was startled.

"Master... have I been deceived again? Send him away right now!"

The followers would not have paid any attention to such sudden visitors.

But today, when that gentleman stood in front of him, his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.

I always feel that if I don’t report it, I might be beaten to death.

Being beaten to death and being scolded by the master.

He can still tell which one is light and which is serious.

"Did he really say his name was Qi Yuan?"

"Yes, he is tall...very tall, good-looking, and very majestic."

After hearing the description given by his attendant, He Pingzhang's face turned pale.

Hold Mrs. He's hand.

"Madam...you should quickly tell your son not to come home today."

"Leave Huaicheng and hide."

"Come back in half a month if everything is fine."

"Take your daughter to your mother's house immediately. Don't take anything with you. Your life is the most important thing."

Mrs. He was frightened by his words.

"Master, what happened?"

As He Pingzhang walked out, he said, "This is a big shot in the capital."

"Don't ask, just go now."

He said that he should have retired and returned home long ago...

After changing into his official uniform and tidying up his demeanor, He Pingzhang walked into the living room with an unflinching attitude.

After seeing Qi Yuan sitting in the main seat.

The hanging heart finally died.

"Master Qi, do you have any important business in Huaicheng?"

He was very careful and didn't dare to breathe heavily.

This man is a close minister of the emperor and is known for his black heart in the court.

If you are targeted by him, you are doomed.

Qi Yuan had a blank expression on his face and showed his own exclusive token to prove his identity.

"Master He, I haven't seen you for a few months."

"Come with me, someone wants to see you."

He Pingzhang looked as pale as death.

Nothing good can come of being taken away by the commander of the imperial guards.

He wanted to struggle a bit more, "Master Qi, can you let me have a few words with my family?"

Qi Yuan was a little confused, but still agreed.

"Go ahead, Master He, but don't stay too long."

"By the way, change your clothes."

"Yes."

He Pingzhang's eyes were filled with bitterness. He was not even allowed to wear his official uniform. It seemed that he was to be secretly executed...

After a while, He Pingzhang changed into a brand new blue robe.

And just a simple wash.

He followed Qi Yuan without even taking any followers with him.

After arriving at the courtyard, He Pingzhang's heart slowly calmed down.

It's death anyway, it doesn't matter.

He deserves it for governing Huaizhou like this.

But when he was brought into the room and saw the person sitting in the main seat, He Pingzhang was stunned for several breaths.

The door was closed, and only Murong Yue, Ah Hao, Qi Yuan and an attendant were inside the room.

He Pingzhang reacted.

Kneel down immediately.

"I, the humble servant He Pingzhang, the prefect of Huaizhou, come to see Your Majesty."

“Long live my emperor, long live long live—”

"Get up."

Murong Yue spoke lightly.

Outside the house, some people appeared from nowhere and guarded the yard very tightly.

Grandma Li and the other two were in the stable, looking for something to do.

Li Chi feeds the flames.

Li Daniu grabs feed.

Granny Li fanned Lieyan.

Inside the house, He Pingzhang was both surprised and happy.

Your Majesty came to Huaicheng without making any noise!

Good news, he doesn't have to die.

Bad news, His Majesty has learned about the customs in Huaicheng.

Murong Yue spoke slowly, "Master He, do you have anything to say?"

You messed up my base like this.

You have to have a remedy.

He Pingzhang did not dare to stand up, and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am guilty of failing to govern Huaizhou effectively."

"Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The only option for him now is to plead guilty.

"Oh, so you mean you don't have any tricks to deal with Huaicheng's bad habit of comparison?"

Murong Yue can now speak human language fluently.

Sometimes you can even use inverted sentences.

After figuring out the doubts in her heart, she felt that she had become even more powerful.

Now when you quarrel with someone, you don’t have to use your hands, you won’t lose by just using your mouth!

"minister..."

He Pingzhang immediately realized that the emperor was not asking for punishment, but wanted him to guarantee to solve this problem.

It's not like he hadn't thought of other measures before.

But it is difficult to implement.

The powerful and wealthy just said that the imperial court does not have such laws and policies, so isn’t your provincial government going too far?

He had no choice.

it's good now.

His backer is here!

"Your Majesty, I have an idea."

"What do you say."

"The trend of comparison in Huaicheng cannot be reversed for the time being, but as long as Your Majesty thinks my suggestion is feasible, give me three years, and I will definitely be able to govern Huaicheng well."

“First, each family will adopt a matching donation system for hosting banquets.”

"Each event can only be held for one day, and can only be held once a day, and cannot exceed 20 tables at a time."

"For the amount exceeding the limit, a deposit of ten taels of silver will be charged per table."

"This money is divided into two parts."

"Part of it will be used to reward those who abide by the rules, and part of it will be used to reward those who report the incident."

hiss.

That's a bit interesting.

Those who refrain from holding excessive banquets are rewarded by the government, and they have an excuse not to hold them.

I was already feeling exhausted.

There's just no excuse not to do it.

Moreover, the common people who are keeping an eye on them can get money if they report anyone who exceeds the quota.

Someone reports it - the authorities impose a fine - and then reward the reporter.

Perfect closed loop.

Maybe in the future professional whistleblowers in Huaicheng will become an industry.

"and then?"

Murong Yue nodded. This plan seemed feasible.

"Regarding the extravagance and waste in restaurants and shops..."

"I plan to bring in a restaurant from the capital, preferably one from the capital."

“Normal meal portions and pricing, normal serving process.”

"Then I will take the lead and become a regular customer."

"Use this store as a benchmark, and encourage restaurants to return to normal."

Murong Yue thought about it for a moment and nodded, "That's fine."

"Any more?"

He Pingzhang felt that things were going better than he expected.

Not only did he not have to die, he also met His Majesty and presented his plan.

Life is simply too wonderful.

He hesitated and then stated the most difficult problem.

"As for the wedding gift money, I don't have a plan yet. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

One of his thoughts was that His Majesty should be given some room to perform.

The second is that I really don’t have any solution.

More importantly, Your Majesty is a woman.

If he fails to handle this matter properly and makes His Majesty unhappy, won't he be in danger of losing his life again?

Really are.

He Pingzhang silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Murong Yue tilted her head and looked at him.

"Really, there is no plan?"

He Pingzhang kowtowed immediately.

"The humble minister is incompetent."

Murong Yue tapped her fingers on the table a few times.
