The beauty who wears fast has many babies

"Hahaha."

Waves of hearty laughter echoed, and Wu Li's lips curled up slightly. She quickened her pace and walked towards the direction of the sound.

Soon a magnificent palace came into view, surrounded by beautiful gardens and fountains. She passed through a beautifully carved gate and entered the imperial gardens.

Wu Li walked along the corridor, admiring the exquisite paintings hanging on both sides. Finally, she came to a spacious pavilion.

"Hey, isn't this the emperor's favorite?"

"I wonder who it is."

"Hello, sisters." Wu Li looked at everyone, leaned forward slightly, her voice clear and pleasant.

The melodious sound of musical instruments stopped, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Wuli standing there quietly. Her figure was like a fairy descending to the earth, making people hold their breath and stare at her.

She was dressed in elegant clothes, fresh and refined, exuding a unique charm. Her appearance was picturesque, delicate and exquisite, and her bright eyes were as bright as stars.

Her skin was as white as snow, with a slight blush, giving her a healthy and charming look. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, gently brushing against her cheeks, adding a touch of grace and elegance.

Wu Li's beauty lies not only in her appearance but also in her unique temperament. Her movements are graceful and elegant, each one flowing and natural. Her smile is like a spring breeze, warm and kind, making people want to be close to her and feel her warmth and kindness.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to stand still.

Everyone had different expressions. They had long expected that the person who could climb onto the dragon bed was no ordinary person, but they did not expect that she was such a stunning beauty.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Concubine Lu was the first to break the silence, "Sister is really good at this. No wonder she is favored by the Emperor."

Wu Li chuckled, "Sister, what are you talking about? I'm just lucky."

A hint of jealousy flashed in Lady Lu's eyes. "Lucky? Didn't you rely on your face to seduce the emperor?"

Wu Li's face turned cold, "Sister, please be careful with your words. I respect you as a senior and don't want to argue with you."

Seeing this, Lady Lu became even more arrogant, "Why, you dare not take responsibility for what you did?"

At this time, Concubine Du stood up and said, "Okay, okay, we are all sisters, why are we arguing like this?"

Wu Li glanced at Concubine Du and thought that this person was quite tactful.

She turned around and sneered at Concubine Lu: "If you have nothing else to do, why don't you think more about how to please the Emperor!"

After saying that, she walked towards the exquisite octagonal pavilion next to her without looking back, sat down beside the pavilion, and looked into the distance leisurely.

Concubine Lu stood there, watching Wu Li's retreating figure, her eyes gleaming with anger and resentment. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, and swore to herself, "I will never let this bitch go! One day, I'll find a chance to take revenge on her and make her feel the pain of being humiliated!"

In Wu Li's eyes, the world is full of beauty and peace. The evening breeze, with a hint of coolness, gently brushes across her face.

At this time, she sat by the lake and basked quietly in the warm sunshine. It turned out that the taste of sunshine was so wonderful.

[Host, Lady Lu is coming.]

"Ok?"

"It's okay. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will definitely retaliate." There was a resolute determination in Wu Li's eyes.

"Xiuhong, it's a bit cold. Go back and get a blanket."

"Yes."

"Wait, let Xiao Dengzi tell the imperial kitchen that I want to eat fish. Also send someone to ask the emperor if he wants to come for dinner." Wu Li seemed to remember something and called the palace maid again.

"Hey, my lady, you are here alone..." Xiuhong frowned.

"It doesn't matter, go ahead."

Of course, Wu Li had to get everyone out of the way before he could get things done. After all, everyone around him was Zhou Chongli's spies. It was better not to let them know about his other side.

"My sister is quite elegant, with a sense of leisurely mood."

"Sister, you are too kind. I can't compare with you in terms of taste." Wu Li replied without turning her head.

"You! Haha, we are sisters, why should I be hostile to you?" Lady Lu was slightly angry, but then she calmed down after thinking of something.

"The weasel pays a New Year's visit to the chicken, it has no good intentions." Wu Li stood up and walked to the lake and stopped.

Lady Lu was delighted to see her approaching the lake, but she said without showing it, "How could you miss me so much, sister?"

"You've done so many bad things that you've forgotten them?"

Wu Li turned around and looked into Lady Lu's eyes, as if to say, "I know everything you have done."

"you?!"

Lady Lu was startled by the look in her eyes and quickly stepped aside.

"Are you wondering what I know?"

"I tell you, I know everything."

Wu Li approached Lady Lu step by step and spoke one sentence at a time.

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself."

At this time, Concubine Lu looked at Wu Li's slightly crazy eyes and expression, and had forgotten her purpose. She couldn't help but slowly retreat.

"Oh!"

There was a loud sound of falling into the water, and everyone saw Lady Lu struggling up and down in the lake, shouting for help.

At this time, Wu Li silently retracted his foot. This kick felt so good. He could just consider it as revenge for the original owner.

Concubine Lu's cry for help attracted a group of palace maids and eunuchs to come, but Wu Li stood aside without changing his expression.

Concubine Lu struggled in the water for a long time, and finally sank directly. Everyone was shocked when they saw this.

"System, what's going on? It can sink even when it's near the lake?" Wu Li was surprised.

[Host, someone is holding Lady Lu's feet tightly underwater, preventing her from floating up.]

"Hmm? Do you know who arranged this?"

【She arranged it herself. It was originally intended for you.】

“…” Wu Li could only say that it was all his own fault.

Du Guiren and others rushed over from the pavilion nearby. Before they could settle down, they heard the servants around Concubine Lu speaking in unison.

"Lady Du, you have to make the decision for our young master!"

Du Guiren tried to blame Wu Li, but Wu Li coldly retorted: "I was just looking at the scenery. It's none of my business if I can't stand steadily."

"It was Li who promised to kick our young master out. This servant saw it with her own eyes."

If something happens to the master they serve, they will not suffer any consequences.

At this time, the person under the water also found something wrong, and hurriedly let go of his hand, dived deeper, and slowly swam away with the cover of lotus leaves.

Concubine Lu, who had drunk enough water, also floated up at this moment, and the palace maids and eunuchs beside her quickly pulled her ashore.

"Little Master!"

Chuntao, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Lu, shouted anxiously and slapped her face, trying to wake her up.

After a few times, Lady Lu vomited a lot of water with a "wow" sound and finally woke up.

"You..." As soon as Concubine Lu woke up, she pointed at Wu Li and wanted to curse him.

"Sister, please stop pointing randomly, or you might fall into the lake again." Wu Li looked at her with a half-smile.

Lady Lu was suddenly speechless. She recalled what had just happened and realized that she had arranged for people to be in the lake, intending to make Wuli fall into the water, and deliberately holding her back from getting ashore.

I couldn't help but feel guilty and said, "Chun Tao, let's go."

She glared at Wu Li fiercely, but because she was weak, she could only leave with the help of others.

Looking at Lady Lu's receding back, Wu Li laughed secretly in his heart.

"This is just a small lesson. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with you in the future." She whispered to herself.

When Du Guiren and others saw that Concubine Lu had left without saying a word, they thought it was indeed she who fell into the water, so they also left the Imperial Garden.

Wu Li looked at the sunset and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful."

"Little Master."

Wu Li turned around, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, stunning Xiuhong and others for a moment. They saw that Wu Li's body seemed to be shrouded in golden light, emitting a sacred aura, as if she was the incarnation of the setting sun, beautiful and mysterious.

"What's wrong?" Wu Li asked with a faint smile.

"My lady, it's getting late. Let's go back to the palace. The emperor will have dinner at Lihe Palace soon." Xiuhong said after she came to her senses.

"Yeah." Wu Li nodded slightly.

After returning to Lihe Palace, not long after Wu Li washed his hands and sat down, Zhou Chongli arrived.

"Why is the emperor so unhappy?"

"Nothing, it's still about the flood in southern Shanghai."

The two chatted while eating, and only then did Zhou Chongli feel that the shackles on his body were slightly lighter.

Through communication, Wuli learned that the treasury of the Great Zhou was empty, the lower-class people had no money, and the money was mainly in the hands of the nobles and wealthy businessmen.

"You said that I am already the emperor, but I am the poorest. How sad and lamentable." Zhou Chongli put down his chopsticks and frowned.

Wu Li also discovered that this world's financial system lacked an effective financing mechanism. Thinking about the books he read while imprisoned in the basement in his previous life, he suddenly came up with a solution.

"Your Majesty, if you eat well, I will tell you a way." Wu Li teased Zhou Chongli with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and eat my meal obediently." Zhou Chongli smiled and picked up the bowl and chopsticks again. It was obvious that he didn't take Wu Li's words seriously.

After finishing their meal, the two of them leaned against the soft couch, Zhou Chongli playing with Wuli's hair. His eyes were blank, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

"Does the emperor want to put the money of those nobles and wealthy businessmen into his own pocket?" Wu Li said lightly while flipping through the storybook.

"Oh? Li'er, do you have any ideas?" Zhou Chongli came back to his senses and asked indifferently.

"Of course." Wu Li closed the book and said affirmatively.

"First, the emperor can just print money."

"Hahahahahahahahahaha, I thought Li'er had thought of some solution, but this won't work. If too much currency circulates, it will depreciate and become worthless." Zhou Chongli laughed loudly, thinking that he was really desperate and trying anything to cure his illness.

"Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say." Wu Li said coquettishly.

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore, you speak."

"Of course we can't just print money and spend it ourselves. We can find a workaround. We can let the money circulate, that is, buy government bonds in the market." Wu Li said proudly.

"National debt? What does that mean?" Zhou Chongli asked in confusion.

"In essence, it's still printing money to spend. The difference is that issuing government bonds means the money we print goes through a round of circulation before returning to our own hands, and it can attract aristocrats and wealthy businessmen to buy it."

"Wait, I still don't understand. National debt means borrowing money from these rich people in the name of the Great Zhou Kingdom?" Zhou Chongli retracted his casual attitude and said seriously.

"Yes, you can understand it that way." Wu Li snapped his fingers and said.

"I can borrow money with just my mouth, how can they lend me money?"

"So this requires us to take some action first. What these rich people lack the least is money and a good reputation. What's more, the money lent to the Great Zhou Kingdom is highly safe and liquid, and there is no need to worry about the Great Zhou Kingdom not paying it back. I think these people are still willing to pay for a good reputation." Wu Li explained.

"Li'er, go on." Zhou Chongli pondered for a long time and probably figured out the key.

Then, Wu Li described the specific purpose and main features of issuing government bonds. The money raised from the bonds would then be used to treat floods and invested in the market to stimulate the economy, which would then allow the money to flow back into the treasury.

Zhou Chongli's expression became more and more solemn, and he couldn't help but wonder whether it was feasible.

Although Zhou Chongli was still a little uncertain, he decided to give it a try. What if? Even if it failed, for the Great Zhou Kingdom, whose treasury was already empty, this would be the worst case scenario.

Zhou Chongli decided to adopt Wu Li's suggestion and issue national bonds. He immediately went to the imperial study and immediately ordered the important officials of the court to be summoned to the palace to discuss the details.

There was inevitably chaos during this process. The civil servants all thought that this plan was feasible, and most of them had their own ideas.

The military officers, however, simply believed that using the reputation of the Great Zhou Kingdom as a guarantee was an exaggeration.

In the end, it was Zhou Chongli who made the final decision and confirmed the issuance of national bonds. After the regulations were released, all departments would implement them as required.

"Minister Lin, please stay. Everyone else can go."

"Yes."

After the others left the imperial study, Zhou Chongli rubbed his brows and said, "Minister Lin, please take a seat."

At this time, the night outside was pitch black, with only the flickering candlelight in the hall.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I dare to ask if Your Majesty has asked me to leave you alone and tell you something." Prime Minister Lin spoke first.

"You blame me." Facing his loyal old minister, Zhou Chongli's eyes were full of admiration.

"I dare not." Prime Minister Lin stood up and bowed.

"I intend to confer the title of Princess on Lin Ruowei as compensation to your Lin family. What do you think, Minister Lin?"

"I obey your command. Thank you!"

Of course, Prime Minister Lin understood what the emperor meant. This was a good thing for both the Lin family and Lin Ruowei, so there was no reason to refuse.

"Okay, leave now." Zhou Chongli waved his hand and stood up to leave.

Zhou Chongli was busy with the national debt for a while, and he did not enter the harem for a long time. Wu Li lived a relatively peaceful life.

The issuance of government bonds indeed attracted a large number of investments from nobles and wealthy businessmen. In addition to using these funds to deal with the flood in southern Shanghai, they were also used for national construction and military expansion, rapidly increasing the country's strength.

However, as the national debt grew, some nobles began to worry about the country's ability to repay. Wu Li once again offered advice and proposed a series of reform measures, such as strengthening tax management and optimizing fiscal expenditures, to ensure the stability of the national debt and the financial security of the Great Zhou.

This made Zhou Chongli appreciate Wu Li even more. What he needed was never a canary in a cage, but a woman who could truly stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
