Xia He just smiled brightly when he said to Liu Ruyan without hesitation. In Li Ze's heart, the two wives were no different from each other. In the eyes of the world, Xia He's more important label is that the finance helmsman of the entire Tang Dynasty, a shrewd and capable Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. However, Xia He herself has always retreated in front of Liu Ruyan. This may be because she was Li Ze's maid since she was a child, so she has always put her position very low. She does not fight or rob, and is not angry or angry. But the more she does this, her status becomes more stable.

Liu Ruyan also knew how important Xia He was in Li Ze's mind. They grew up together, but this kind of affection was not comparable to that of themselves. The tacit understanding between the two sometimes made Liu Ruyan very jealous. When the three of them were together, occasionally Li Ze suddenly said something that made Liu Ruyan feel inexplicable, but Xia He was always able to understand it.

This is the benefit of childhood sweethearts.

Envy, jealousy and hatred are useless. If you really show it, it will only make Li Ze look down on it. What's more, apart from Xia He being Li Ze's concubine, Xia He's real role in the Tang Dynasty is probably much stronger than Liu Ruyan.

After all, Li Ze's command is full of talents, and it is not necessarily weaker than Liu Ruyan when he picks up any one. However, in terms of wealth, those who can compare with Xia He can still be found. So far, Gongsun Changming, Zhang Hui and others are a little worried about Xia He's about to step down as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, worried that Wang Mingyi and Sun Lei can't handle it.

However, once Li Ze takes office as the throne, Xia He will be the perfect imperial concubine. It is really unreasonable to let the imperial concubine take over as the leader of a real department.

The Financial Development Committee, which is about to be established, will serve as chairman, which has also made these important officials feel a little relieved. This also means that Xia He will retreat and will still play an important role in the country's financial resources, so that the financial and taxation system that the Tang Dynasty has just established will not be affected by her retreat.

"You two will not be able to enjoy the blessing in the future." Li Ze smiled and said, "The Financial Committee will shoulder the burden of further development and reform of our Tang Dynasty's financial and taxation system, although it is only a department under the Ministry of Revenue. And Qiaoer, you, women, children, or widows, and pensions, you must participate in these things. This is also the best way to narrow the distance between the royal family and ordinary people. The further you go, the political influence of the royal family on the Tang Dynasty will become lower and lower. Then these things are the best way for the royal family to demonstrate their existence."

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan sighed: "In this way, the royal family will be really undermined. Do you think this is really good? It will not cause political chaos in the Tang Dynasty? Moreover, are you really willing to be worshipped by those ministers as a Bodhisattva?"

"Who said?" Li Ze laughed: "The establishment of this system is just to prevent one person from becoming a single man. The key to the problem is, who can become the core of this Supreme Committee. To be honest, if I live for one day, I will be the core of this Supreme Committee."

Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up: "Does that mean that Dan'er can become the core of this Supreme Committee in the future?"

"It depends on his ability." Li Ze spread his hands: "I can become the core of this supreme committee, which has been accumulated bit by bit for a long time. If he can do this, he will naturally become an emperor with great power, and other members will try their best to cooperate with him. If he doesn't do it, this core will naturally move away from it. It's not just Dan'er, why can't Ning'er? If Ning'er is particularly outstanding in the future and can convince everyone, Ning'er can become the core of this committee."

Liu Ruyan's face was a little unkind: "Can Ning'er still become an queen?"

"How is this possible?" Xia He said quickly.

Li Ze smiled slightly and said, "If you want to be the core of this Supreme Committee, you may not be the emperor of this empire! Maybe Ning'er can be the chairman of the Economic Development Committee by then! In short, in this system, whoever wants to be this core must be better than others. The emperor must be a descendant of our Li family. If he is outstanding enough, he can actually lead the empire. If his abilities are mediocre, he will become a symbol of this country."

"Our descendants will naturally become the smartest people in this country." Liu Ruyan said authentically.

"That's not necessarily!" Li Ze shook his head and said, "People born in our family are only one step away from the finish line from the beginning. They need not much effort. Perhaps they only need to take one step to achieve their goals. Others need to run desperately and struggle hard to get close to this finish line. And in this running and struggle process, the setbacks they suffer and the complexity of things they encounter are by no means something that people born in a family like us can imagine, and this is the most important part of a person's growth process. Therefore, 90% of the situation is that our children's ability to deal with complicated national affairs and even international affairs in the future is far less than those who strive step by step."

"But we only need to take one step to get to our destination!"

"That's what it means!" Li Ze smiled and said, "But others will have a comparison in their hearts. Moreover, I have worked hard to establish such a system to make everyone be cautious when choosing this core, because their choice means whether the road to our empire can be smooth for a long time."

"I don't believe it anymore. Can the people who can reach our destination in one step still lose to them?"

Li Ze glanced at Liu Ruyan and said, "In the next time, I will improve this system step by step. I want to prevent the guys in our family who only need to take one step to get closer to their goals. When they find that they are going to lose, they can pick up the butcher knife and kill this person who is about to win."

Liu Ruyan and Xia He looked at each other. They had just thought of such an operation method. But Li Ze immediately blocked the shortcut.

"When the empire is unified and when I clear the surroundings, I will give up this core leadership position, stand aside, quietly watch the operation of this system, and see if he is moving forward as I expected? If it is wrong, I will help him back to the right path. If he can keep walking on the road of peace, I can make time to do many other things." Li Ze smiled. "I must do these things before I die."

Seeing that the atmosphere became a little heavy, Xia He quickly changed the topic, "Young Master, is it Yeting Palace? I heard that there were places where the palace servants who made mistakes were detained, eunuchs and family members of the criminals? Tuhu brought so many people, why did he build a large-scale construction?"

"Nothing is the Yeting Palace." Li Ze nodded and said, "Tu Hu is undergoing a large-scale renovation here. This place will no longer be a place for prisoners. A huge conference hall will appear here. This is also the location of the first representative conference of our Yixing Society."

"Don't we live here in the future?" Liu Ruyan asked.

"Tai Chi Palace will be the political center of the entire Tang Dynasty in the future. It can only be a place to handle state affairs. Except for my General Office, all other committees will work on meetings here." Li Ze said: "The Daming Palace Group will become the place where our Tang Dynasty holds large-scale ceremonies, such as sacrifices, celebrations, receptions of foreign missions, etc., and we will live in Xingqing Palace. Xingqing Palace, but among these three palace groups, the most magnificent locations, buildings and furnishings are much more luxurious and beautiful than these two places."

"When I look back, I have to go to Xingqing Palace to check it out and choose a good palace!" Liu Ruyan said with great enthusiasm.

"Don't think too beautiful." Li Ze smiled: "How big can our family use? Even if it is a servant and a guard, it cannot occupy much. So Tuhu will re-plan the Xingqing Palace. Of course, the most beautiful one will become the private property of our Li family in the future, and belong to the royal family. In other places, the court will take them back."

Liu Ruyan was shocked: "So, Tai Chi Palace, Daming Palace..."

"They will belong to the Tang Empire in the future. Only the planned Xingqing Palace where we live will belong to our Li family's private property in the future." Li Ze said with a smile: "I looked at the planning map of Tuhu, it is already very large."

Liu Ruyan sighed and looked at Li Ze and said, "You emperor, you are very boring."

Li Ze laughed: "When people live, they only sleep in one bed. When they die, they are only so three feet away. Why do they need so much property? For me, the Tang Empire is the most prosperous thing that makes me happy. Besides, if it is really such a big place, when did I develop a good dish? I will send someone to one side to call you, and then send someone to the other side to call Xia He. When you two come here, I am afraid that no matter how delicious the dishes are, they will not be delicious. The whole family lives under the same roof, and the sound of chickens and dogs is even more energetic. If there is an occasional quarrel, there will be someone to persuade them, right?"

When Liu Ruyan and Xia He both laughed when they heard Li Zeru say this.
