After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

When Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou received the news that Shi Wanyue had left Yunjing, they were on a carriage heading north. They had gone south before, and this time Yun Zhou said he wanted to go to the north to take a look.

"You are so cruel. Aren't you afraid that your good daughter will take revenge on you?" To be honest, Yun Zhou didn't expect Su Qingluo to suddenly do such a ruthless thing.

"She doesn't want to kill her mother or her king. No matter what, she can only use those means." Su Qingluo said with a smile.

"That's right." Yun Zhou nodded.

"The worst that can be done is hiding you secretly?" Otherwise, Su Qingluo couldn't think of any way Wen Zhimiao could take revenge on her.

Yun Zhou chuckled: "Then I have to cooperate with her."

Su Qingluo smiled and raised the corner of her mouth: "It's okay, I will find it myself."

"So confident?" Yun Zhou asked teasingly with the corner of his mouth raised.

"That's right. After all, Zhou Zhou should still be reluctant to leave me, right? If I lose you, I will be left without a wife." Su Qingluo looked at Yun Zhou pitifully.

Yun Zhou was speechless for a moment: "Don't learn these nonsense from Miaomiao."

Although after so many years, I have long been aware that Su Qingluo is not a very serious person, but I am still speechless when she imitates Wen Zhimiao's behavior from time to time.

Su Qingluo smiled and hugged her waist: "But it is useful."

Although Yun Zhou would dislike her every time she imitated Wen Zhimiao's unreasonable behavior, she was always useful.

Yun Zhou lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside, and whispered, "Stop making trouble."

"Okay, I won't learn it. I won't learn it." Su Qingluo agreed to her obediently.

During the first month as regent, Wen Zhimiao had to work until late at night almost every day.

Fortunately, the systems of various departments of Tianqi are relatively complete, and there are no reforms underway for the time being, so Wen Zhimiao is not slow to get started.

Spring had just arrived and everything was peaceful.

After a month, Wen Zhimiao no longer had to work overtime every day.

Yun Jiuzhao has no plans to come back for the time being, but He Yuanyao is still in Yunjing. Su Qingluo gave her a vacation before leaving and allowed her to stay in Yunjing for a year.

Fortunately, she is here, otherwise Wen Zhimiao would really be bored to death.

The prince served as regent for a year, and the emperor did not return home for a whole year. From spring to winter, the prince was in charge of all the affairs of the court.

At the beginning, some people were worried that the prince could not handle this heavy responsibility alone, but it turned out that they were really worrying too much. The emperor dared to do this, so he naturally had his confidence.

During this year, the prince dealt with both floods in the south and droughts in the north with ease.

There was one thing that made the ministers a little worried. The prince allocated a large amount of funds to the Southern Shipbuilding Corporation, which focused on building new ships.

Not only that, a special gunpowder department was also established, with good remuneration but also very strict assessment conditions.

At first, many ministers opposed it, so Wen Zhimiao directly invited them to see how powerful the original version of the cannon could be.

Although there are still some pedantic old ministers who think that such weapons are against the harmony of nature, the vast majority of people still support it.

During this year, the emperor was not in the court, and the prime minister was not there either, but there was no turmoil in Tianqi, and he even opened up a new trade route to the west.

This year's taxes have increased compared to previous years, and officials' salaries have also increased slightly.

Even some local officials have been very nervous this year. As the representative of the Censorate and the person appointed by the emperor himself, Shi Wanyue inspected and assessed the government affairs in various places of Tianqi, which made those local officials very nervous.

In addition, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple also established some regulatory agencies that extended to the local level.

To this end, Wen Zhimiao discussed with many officials for three months before coming up with a suitable plan.

After all, we cannot continue to add institutions blindly, as that would result in the court having to support more and more officials.

Having too many redundant staff in an organization is not necessarily a good thing. First of all, salaries are a huge expense and will add a burden to the national treasury.

In order to avoid this, Wen Zhimiao pressured senior officials to set up some local regulatory agencies without adding too many officials.

The final solution is to transfer some officials who were originally too idle, or to add some functions to the departments that were originally relatively idle.

It was quite time-consuming, but it was finally implemented successfully.

Adhering to the principle of being responsible for the policies he issued, Wen Zhimiao kept an eye on the implementation of the policies for the entire year after they were issued.

Any problems were corrected promptly, and she was able to succeed in the end.

Later historical records recorded that this move was a successful measure to strengthen central power.

In the past, in many places, the emperor was far away and even the law could not defeat the local powerful.

But Wen Zhimiao's move allows the central government to know more about local news, and the central government's policies will be easier to implement at the local level.

Shi Wanyue couldn't come back during this year, and Wen Zhimiao had no time to look for her, so the two of them could only communicate through letters.

In the blink of an eye, winter came again, and the first snow of the year fell in Yunjing City. Wen Zhimiao was sitting in the East Palace, with a fire burning beside her and Xiangnan in front of her helping her make tea.

Wen Zhimiao held the book in his hand and saw the news sent by the Dragon Shadow Guard, saying that King Brahma of Beirong had returned triumphantly.

Now that the tribes surrounding Beirong have settled down, Beirong is now comparable to Tianqi in terms of territory.

However, the Northern Rong still have nomadic characteristics and the population is not that large.

King Brahma really is like the god of war sent from heaven by the Northern Rong.

The current King of Beirong is five years older than Su Qingluo. He was considered a wise ruler in the first half of his life, and his decisive decisions were also wise.

But since Xiao Yuanju's death and Ao Dun's birth, she seemed to have changed a little, becoming somewhat moody and nepotistic.

Wen Zhimiao knew a little about the reason. Xiao Yuanju had poisoned the King of Beirong before, but because it was a chronic poison, the King of Beirong did not discover it when he was young. After giving birth to a child, his body became much weaker, and the symptoms gradually showed up.

King Beirong truly loved Xiao Yuanju, so he was never willing to believe that he was the one who did this.

Emotionally I don't want to believe it, but rationally I know there will be no one else but him.

This is also the reason why she is sometimes extremely doting on Ao Dun and sometimes has a bad temper towards him.

As his health declined, he naturally became temperamental and began to worry about someone competing for his throne.

Fortunately, God really favors her, and the niece she raised can take care of many things when she is in her teens.

He was a well-deserved god of war, helping the King of Beirong stabilize the entire situation of Beirong.

When Wen Zhimiao was reading the battle report, He Yuanyao was also there.

After reading it, she asked Wen Zhimiao with some curiosity: "King Brahma has now conquered the surrounding areas. Will he want to attack us next?"

Wen Zhimiao shook his head: "She won't, she is a smart person, and she is not a warlike person."

But the King of Beirong can.

Her body couldn't take it anymore.

Wen Zhimiao looked out the window and whispered, "Ao Dun hasn't gone back yet, and I don't know what he wants to do."

Wen Zhimiao knew that Ao Dun had been traveling in Tianqi this year, but she just traveled around and did nothing, so Wen Zhimiao just let her do it.
