There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 217
After this incident, Tang Wanning spent more than half a month, and finally adjusted her mentality.

It can be summed up in one sentence: Just treat it as if you have drunk too much and make an appointment for a run, put your mind in the right place, and do what you should do.

Taking the initiative to sleep with someone else's embarrassing black history, she can't think about it, every time she thinks about it is torture, she regrets it.

I knew I wouldn't drink at that time.

Xia Houjue's attitude towards this matter was completely different from hers, the way this guy looked at himself was different from before.

In the past, it was admiration, pursuit, expectation, and hope.

Now it is possession, his whole face and all his behaviors are written "Wan Wan, you finally belong to me, I want to see the world hand in hand with you".

The most direct change was that he let her take care of those scriptures more as a matter of course, and even gave her the task in a clear way.

"Before the end of the year, select the hundred people you think are the most valuable, and I will reuse them next year!"

Tang Wanning: "...the emperor, the harem"

"I said you are not a harem, you are my wife, why don't you take the harem with you at the back, and I won't go"

"..." Speechless again, she could no longer find any reason.

Since then, Tang Wanning went to work in the imperial study every day with a bitter face.

"I'm really lifting a rock and shooting myself in the foot"

"Niang Niang, the emperor means that he is willing to share the country with you. The emperor let you choose because he trusts you!" Biluo persuaded after analyzing rationally.

Tang Wanning drooped her head helplessly: "That's all!"

……

After the Meng family fell, all the people who were in the same line as the Meng family also fell, and all their property was confiscated.

The treasury of the Great Xia Dynasty was plentiful in an instant, and Tang Wanning was dumbfounded as she looked at the thick account books on the table in the imperial study.

"It turns out that the wealth is incomparable, it's true!" She thought those TV dramas were just blowing it up, tsk tsk tsk, she really learned a lot.

"A total of 36 households were copied. The south of the Yangtze River has been a rich and prosperous place since ancient times. It is not surprising that they are greedy for so much oil and water!"

Xia Houjue said calmly, he didn't think it was too novel, probably he had calculated it in advance, otherwise it would not be possible to be so calm.

Part of the money was reserved for the people in the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, part for the people in the north to keep out the cold and prevent disasters, and the last part was used for the border soldiers to protect their homes and the country.

After this arrangement, Xia Houjue frowned.

"Not enough!"

"Isn't that enough? How far is it?" Tang Wanning opened her eyes wide.

"It's still more than 100 million taels!" Xia Houjue threw away the account book in his hand, leaned on the dragon chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was an indescribable cold light flickering indistinctly.

"..." She was a little speechless, this bastard wouldn't want to steal someone's house again, would he?
Xia Houjue tapped the table lightly with his bony fingers, and the corners of his lips curled up after a while.

"Yeah, why did I forget them?"

Tang Wanning looked puzzled: "Who is it?"

Xia Houjue's actions can be described as vigorous and resolute. In less than three days, there was news that several generals' homes had been raided.

"Your Majesty!" Tang Wanning stared wide-eyed.

"When they were young, they were all people who went through life and death for the Great Xia Dynasty. You can't do this"

"Have been born and died for the Great Xia Dynasty, can you form cliques in the army to resell officials and nobles? Can you let your subordinates bully the women of the people, can you occupy the world of the common people at will?" Xia Houjue squinted his eyes, his heart was full of doubts chilling.

"Wanwan, you don't know, some people, I really want to treat them well, but they don't live up to it, and they don't take everything seriously because of their previous achievements."

"They are self-respecting, and even think that the Great Xia Dynasty was saved by them! I have to rely on them to stabilize the country, which is really ridiculous!"

Tang Tang Waning lowered her head and stopped talking, her cheeks were still hot.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

Xia Houjue took her hand and comforted her gently: "I know you are worried about the Tang family, don't worry, I can still tell which is right and which is wrong. The army is too redundant, so we must take care of it. Some people resell their titles You are richer than the Meng family, don't you know?"

Tang Wanning shook her head.

Thinking about it afterward, she really regretted it. Father said that the brothers who fought bloody battles back then had gone their separate ways. Now that we meet again, it is no longer the friendship we had back then. There is nothing to talk about.

It was her own sentimentality.

……

Cold comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter hides, this year is coming to an end soon, starting from next year, this Great Xia Dynasty will change to a new world.

In the first year of Qinghe, Emperor Qinghe, implying that Haiyan and rivers are clear, and the world is peaceful.

Of course, no one is sure whether the world is peaceful or not, and Xia Houjue's raid on the house went smoothly.

It is not as difficult as imagined, and there are not so many dying struggles. Everyone understands the principle of "one emperor, one courtier".

Many civil servants and generals fell, and the people in the court were panicked. The rest of the people were worried every day, for fear that the emperor would raid someone's house again.

Especially those who have done bad things and insulted the people, one by two in the court, they dare not breathe.

Xia Houjue was dressed in a dragon robe and sat tall in the main hall, scanning the past one by one, his eyes as cold as snow, made everyone silent.

After a long time, he suddenly smiled: "Which of the beauties still wants to play?"

The rest are at most small fish and shrimps, nothing more than clinging to a certain big tree and learning some skills to harm others from others. It is enough to scare them, and there is no need to make too much noise.

Otherwise, people are really panic, but there is really no one to work.

……

Near the end of the year, Tang Wanning finally handed in a list after nearly two months of hard work.

"A total of 100 people, ten of them are good farmers. According to them, they not only have unique skills in farming, but also developed new varieties. Some are cold-resistant, drought-resistant, and flood-resistant. In short, the yield of crops can be greatly improved. , I think it’s pretty good, I can introduce it with the Ministry of Household Affairs.”

"There are also those who are proficient in Qimen Dunjia, those who are proficient in astronomy and meteorology, and those who are proficient in medical pharmacology, etc..."

"Everyone has re-checked, there should be no fraud!"

She sat on the chair opposite the imperial case, and reported in a serious manner. At the end, she lowered her eyes and sighed softly.

"If it weren't for my third brother's reluctance to become an official in the court, I think we can add a project to him, called... proficient in overseas travel diplomacy!"

Xia Houjue went through the list of all these people and was very satisfied.

"There are twenty or thirty of them that I have heard from the household department. I had no right to promote them before. Now I finally have the opportunity. Let's recruit them all into the capital."

"Yes!" Tang Wanning was a little happy.

"The emperor wants to recruit talented people?"

"There is nothing to brag about recruiting talented people. He is the way to be a king, and everyone who sits on the dragon chair should do the same!"
