Wen Zhimiao followed Yun Zhou back to Zhangtai Palace. During breakfast, Su Qingluo asked her why she suddenly wanted to go to the South.

Wen Zhimiao calmly explained why he wanted to go.

After listening to this, Su Qingluo just said that he understood.

"I understand why she wants to go. What are your reasons for agreeing to let her go?" Yun Zhou looked at Su Qingluo, as if waiting for her to give a satisfactory answer.

[Good sister, you have become increasingly rude to mother over the years.]

Wen Zhimiao, who was standing beside him, also looked at Su Qingluo with curiosity.

"Yeah, mother, aren't you afraid that something might happen to me when I go there? Ying."

"Oh my god." The older Wen Zhimiao gets, the less his personality is like Su Qingluo's.

Su Qingluo could never be as shameless and frivolous as her.

Yun Zhou was used to it, as Wen Zhimiao had died like this in both of his lives.

"If Wen Rongxue is really dead, the Southern Kingdom must be taken into our hands, otherwise the Southern Kingdom will be in chaos." Su Qingluo said calmly.

"If you don't want to be the Crown Princess, then you need a power that you can fully control. Otherwise, the new emperor will not be able to accommodate you. Where can you find a place to live? If you want to be the Crown Princess, this will be your first achievement. If I can confer the title on you, the ministers will be more convinced."

After listening to Su Qingluo's words, Wen Zhimiao paused slightly and suddenly felt a sour taste in his nose.

[Wow, mother, you are so kind! I will definitely be filial to you in the future.] Wen Zhimiao cried in his heart.

Su Qingluo just thought that she was noisy, and had been noisy since she was a child.

I don't know when I can stop hearing this guy's screams.

Su Qingluo picked up some food for Yun Zhou.

"Since we want to support the Southern Kingdom, we must not be careless about collecting food and fodder." Su Qingluo was still not used to such overly sentimental scenes.

When Wen Zhimiao heard her words, the touch in his heart disappeared by half.

[Mother, you are indeed like that. Are you afraid that I will be overly moved?] Wen Zhimiao forced a smile.

"I know~"

"But I want Dean Lu to go with me, and by the way, I want to pick a few people from the Imperial Hospital to go with us. There are a lot of miasma in the south, and the medical technology is not well developed. It would be good to take them over to teach them." Wen Zhimiao thought for a moment and said seriously.

Su Qingluo nodded: "Well, it's up to you."

[Mom, tell me the truth, after all these years, do you still regard Dean Lu as your love rival? Not really, right?]

Wen Zhimiao looked at Su Qingluo and couldn't help but guess.

Su Qingluo couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.

Yun Zhou was watching from the side, bewildered: "Did she provoke you again?"

Faced with Yun Zhou's puzzled questions, Su Qingluo didn't know how to explain.

"Is there ever a day when she doesn't annoy me?" Su Qingluo was actually a little disgusted.

Wen Zhimiao picked up some food for her: "Mom, don't be angry. Your cold and aloof personality will easily collapse."

Yun Zhou couldn't help laughing: "Okay, if you say that again, you're really done for."

After saying that, Yun Zhou couldn't help but glance at Su Qingluo, a cold and aloof character...

We can’t say it’s completely collapsed, there isn’t much left anyway.

After all, some people act like a spoiled brat quite often in private.

After breakfast, Wen Zhimiao said something to the two and left.

"How are you going to deal with the Su family's affairs?" Yun Zhou and Su Qingluo rarely walked together in the Imperial Garden.

Su Qingluo held Yun Zhou's hand and said, "After all, the Su family is my father's maternal family. Not all of them are as ambitious and profit-seeking as Su Tianlu and his party."

"I just turned a blind eye to some things and didn't care too much. Most of the people in the Su family are people who curry favor with the powerful. My father was too bound by the family rules and didn't listen to my mother's words to manage the Su family. Later, he reaped the consequences."

Yun Zhou looked at Su Qingluo with some distress and sighed softly: "But the bad consequences of your father's indecision fell on you."

The Su family was considered a big family in the past. When the imperial power was weak, there were always many evil spirits. Su Qingluo's parents were fighting outside, and they threatened the supply of food and fodder to force Su Qingluo to marry into the royal family.

When Su Qingluo's parents returned from the war and learned about what had happened at home, everything was already a foregone conclusion.

The Su family and Su Qingluo's parents had no choice but to help Wen Huai secure the throne.

Fortunately, Su Qingluo is not an outcast.

Su Qingluo met Yun Zhou's eyes, bent down and kissed her: "Don't be sad, everything in the world has its own destiny. As you said, a blessing in disguise."

Yun Zhou just smiled at her good attitude. No wonder she could become an emperor. Her thoughts were indeed extraordinary.

"The Su family is considered a wealthy local gentry in Jizhong and owns a lot of land. Jizhong is a fertile land and was a densely populated area at the beginning of the nation. Although the population and economy of the Jiangnan area have grown due to proper water management, it still does not have as deep a foundation as Jizhong, and its grain production is still slightly lower." Yun Zhou pulled Su Qingluo to sit down in a small pavilion.

"That's right." Su Qingluo nodded.

"But it's also the place where land annexation is most serious. You want to reform the land system, so you want to target the Su family?" Yun Zhou asked.

Su Qingluo nodded: "Yes."

"Not all of them?" Yun Zhou looked at Su Qingluo teasingly, "There's no way that's all you have in mind."

"You have been tacitly allowing Su Tianlu and his son to spread rumors that you wanted to make his son the crown prince. You even deliberately praised and rewarded Su Xingwei many times, and granted him official positions, etc., all in order to cultivate their ambitions, right?" Yun Zhou rarely asked Su Qingluo about some of the means he used to balance the court.

Most of the time it was just guessing, and this time she didn't ask, she just watched everything.

She believed that Su Qingluo would have her own plans.

"Yes."

"It's really like raising pigs." Yun Zhou poked Su Qingluo's chest: "Your Majesty really has a lot of ideas."

"That only works if the pigs are willing to eat it. If they don't have ambitions, there's nothing I can do to make their ambitions grow." Su Qingluo didn't think there was anything wrong with her.

"Do you want to eradicate the entire Su family, or leave some people?" Yun Zhou asked curiously.

Su Qingluo stretched and said, "That depends on your performance."

"But have you thought about how to change it?" Su Qingluo looked at Yun Zhou.

Yun Zhou sighed and shook his head gently: "No."

Land reform, like tax reform, is difficult.

Especially for Yun Zhou, who is well-versed in history books.

She knew only too well that the land system of her time was not suitable for this era.

However, the systems recorded in history books have both good and bad sides.

Especially since I have read too much history, I am very familiar with the bad side of every system.

This made it very difficult for her to make a choice.

Yun Zhou was not sure whether the taxation system currently being experimented in Jiangnan was the most appropriate one.

Su Qingluo held her hand and looked into her eyes very seriously: "There is no absolutely perfect system in this world, Yunzhou, and you are not omnipotent. Don't set too high standards for yourself."

Yun Zhou met her eyes and felt much calmer.

"After the Donglan matter is over, I want to go to Jiangnan for a visit." Yun Zhou said softly.

Su Qingluo's eyes curved slightly: "Okay, I'll go with you."

"Is there no one suitable in the court?"

"The master is in charge. As you said, a good leader should learn how to lead a team, otherwise he will be the one who gets exhausted."

Yun Zhou couldn't help but laugh.

She glanced at the lake casually, but saw someone in red running hurriedly on the other side of the lake.

"I thought she went straight to Shi Wanyue, but she hasn't gone yet?"

Su Qingluo also saw Wen Zhimiao.

"That should be the direction of the library. He must be going to borrow books for Wanyue."

"In fact, she beat Su Xingwei. Besides those high-sounding reasons she gave in the court, there was another reason. Su Xingwei was drunk and had the guts to flirt with Wanyue in the street."

Su Qingluo was a little curious: "So what exactly does she think of Wanyue?"

It’s not quite like love, but it’s not quite the same. It’s not really like love, but he is indeed special to Wanyue.

Yun Zhou spread his hands: "How would I know her?"

"Whatever she does."

Yun Zhou stood up and stretched: "I don't want to go to work today. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to go listen to some music with me?"

Su Qingluo held her hand: "Of course."
