The two of them were very happy.

"Your Majesty!"

"Ah~ Your Majesty is here."

Xiaoyan and Xiaozhao saluted Wu Linyue respectfully, but Situ Kong did not show any respect, just turned back and pretended to be perfunctory.

"You go down first."

Situ Kong signaled Xiaoyan and Xiaozhao to leave, and the two quickly disappeared in the manor.

Seeing Situ Kong's two followers leave, the dog slave following Wu Linyue observed and followed them.

"Ouch! What are you doing?!"

When there was no one in the manor, Wu Linyue came to Situ Kong with a dark face, stretched out her hand and grabbed Situ Kong's ear, causing Situ Kong to grin in pain.

"What am I doing? Did you do something good a few days ago and snatch a man from my subordinates?"

Wu Linyue had been busy governing the new country these days, but her capable subordinate Wu Jiang complained to her and told tales. She was already annoyed, and when she heard what Situ Kong did, she couldn't help but take out her anger on Situ Kong.

"Yeah, what's wrong? Didn't you tell me to find two men to be my subordinates?"

Situ Kong rubbed his red ears and rolled his eyes at Wu Linyue.

"Haha, you are still proud, right? She is my subordinate who has been with me through thick and thin. When I was in the decisive battle with the State of Wei, I was surrounded and almost died. It was she who came to save me and was stabbed three times. Although she did not achieve much later and I had less contact with her, I still remember her fearless rescue of me. You are still trying to snatch her away?"

Wu Linyue's phoenix eyes were filled with anger, "If it were someone else, I would have chopped him off right now!"

"Hey,"

Situ Kong smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect that His Majesty would also be so grateful."

"Oh? So I am a cold-blooded woman in your eyes?"

Wu Linyue raised her eyebrows and sneered.

"Hey."

"You are still laughing!"

"Woo woo woo!"

Situ Kong's face was pinched hard by Wu Linyue, and it was pulled like a chewy bread, and he whimpered.

"Tell me, what should you do?"

Wu Linyue let go of Situ Kong's cheek, and her soft and tender face was pinched red. The pain made Situ Kong keep rubbing it gently, which made people feel pity.

"Can't you just ask her to find another one?"

"That's a nice thing to say. Some have been selected, and those who haven't been selected have been distributed. Do you want me to send someone to the street to catch one?"

"Or, you can give her money."

"Haha, the treasury is short of funds. After distributing the rewards to officials and generals, there is nothing left."

"Huh?!"

Situ Kong's eyes widened when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, you have fought so many countries and robbed so many things, but there is still no money in the treasury?"

"How can there be money? I spent a lot of money to build the palace. I just paid off the high-interest debts I owed to the people during the war, and the rewards given to the generals are all the highest-end. The money in the treasury is where you live now, in the pockets of the people of Wu State, and in the hands of the generals."

"Wow, Your Majesty, it turns out that you are a pauper."

Situ Kong smiled when he heard this, "Your Majesty, this is what you are worried about, right?"

Wu Linyue looked at Situ Kong's slightly curved eyebrows, her eyes were a little dazed.

Although this man is usually cute, he is sometimes very smart and can see what she is worried about recently at a glance.

"Yes, the new country was just established, and there are so many things that are annoying. Many things can be handled by officials, but the problem of the empty treasury is so annoying that I can't find a solution."

Wu Linyue sat next to Situ Kong and slowly buried her cheek in Situ Kong's neck.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't bite!"

"I'm not in the mood."

Wu Linyue just opened her mouth, and Situ Kong immediately spoke, making her stop awkwardly.

"Can't we increase taxes?"

"I promised the people of Wu that I would not increase taxes within five years after the emperor's ceremony."

"Then lay off soldiers and layoffs... Now that Shenzhou is unified, keeping so many soldiers will only increase the burden. It's better to let them return to their hometowns. After the war, the land is deserted, which can just be given to them to cultivate, and find spouses for them. In this way, they will be happy to serve the people and respect you even more."

After listening, Wu Linyue sorted out her troubled thoughts.

down, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

In wartime, it is for the soldiers, and in prosperous times, it is for the people, good!

"However, this is just to save expenses..."

"You can also monopolize the salt industry and the tea industry. Think about it, these two things are both needed by the people and often drunk by the rich. Wouldn't this increase the income of the treasury in the future?"

"Hiss!"

After listening, Wu Linyue thought for a while, her eyes lit up, she stretched out her hand and pressed it on Situ Kong's cheek, kneading this beautiful face.

Look left and right, as if she wanted to pry open Situ Kong's head to see what was inside, how could she think of these strange tricks.

"Woo woo, what's wrong."

Situ Kong frowned and slapped Wu Linyue's hands away, muttering a little unhappy.

"Ruling the world is much more troublesome than conquering it. When I heard my subordinates talking about you, I remembered that you did so well in Dihua Country, so you must have some tricks. I didn't expect that you know so much? You are just a man..."

The cold-faced queen laughed, and the more she looked at Situ Kong, the more she liked him, as if she had picked up a treasure.

"Hehe, what's wrong with being a man?"

Situ Kong glanced at Wu Linyue unhappily, raised his chin, looked at the sky proudly and said, "When I was a child, I had a strange dream. In the dream, there was a world where men were the main labor force. In this world, I learned a lot of things~"

"Hahaha, good, good, then Mr. Situ Kong, although your idea is good, it will take a few years to see results. Is there any way to make money now~"

Wu Linyue put her hands on Situ Kong's shoulders, and the two of them swayed and flirted with each other, just like a man and a woman who just fell in love.

"How to make money now..."

Situ Kong's little head slowly leaned on Wu Linyue's arms, looking at the long white clouds in the sky, thinking.

"You said that the people of Wu have a lot of money in their pockets, and the general has more money in his pocket, but you don't want to hurt them, so you have to let them pay voluntarily..."

Situ Kong's eyes rolled, "Got it!"

"What?"

Wu Linyue looked at Situ Kong eagerly.

"But, if I help His Majesty solve this problem, how will His Majesty repay me?"

"How to repay you... Is there any need to say~"

Wu Linyue's heroic and beautiful face showed an evil smile, and the evil eyes were already telling Situ Kong how to repay.

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, I don't want this reward from you."

"Huh? You should be very useful, but you are still pretending~"

"In that case, I won't help you."

Situ Kong curled his lips in disdain. This woman is so busy, but she still has some space in her mind to think about waste. It's really disgusting!

"Okay, okay, tell me, how do you want me to repay you."

Wu Linyue was a little angry. She didn't expect this man to be so disrespectful to her, but now she can only endure it until there are fewer things...

Humph, teach me a lesson!

"I don't ask for much, I just hope I can have the opportunity to stay in Dihuazhou for a while every year, okay?"

"Haha, so you're waiting for me here."

Wu Linyue pointed at Situ Kong, "Do you really want to leave me?"

"Didn't I say that I only go back once a year, it doesn't mean I won't come back, right?"

"Okay, if you go back once a year, then you can go back once a year, but you have to remember that you can't go back for too long, you must come back when I summon you!"

"Okay~"

"Hey, Situ Kong, where are you going?!"

Wu Linyue just agreed to Situ Kong's request with difficulty, and saw Situ Kong stand up and leave.

"Go to Dihuazhou."

"Okay, I just agreed to your request, you have to leave me, okay, okay..."

"I... Oh, I'm not going to Dihuazhou to leave now, I'm going to make medicine."

"Make medicine? If you want to make medicine, I have a lot of medicinal materials in Chang'an, why do you have to go to Dihuazhou?!"

Wu Linyue's eyes became a little fierce, as if she felt a bit depressed when she saw Situ Kong was going to leave her. She felt a little sick.

"Alas, the medicine I want to make can only be made in Dihuazhou. There are many miasma in Dihuazhou. In such an environment, there are many poisons and many unique medicinal materials. Are there any in Chang'an?"

"Haha, what kind of medicine can sell for a lot of money? I think you just want to leave!"

"Tsk!"

It's really unreasonable.

Situ Kong shook his head helplessly and explained

"Did the Inner Palace Cabinet capture a lot of good-looking men and let your subordinates take them away with their merit points? On average, each person can get two or three men, right? Most of your subordinates are not young, right? Will fighting along the way hurt their bodies? Then can you guarantee that they will not be overwhelmed when looking at the men they are assigned?"

"What do you mean..."

"My medicine can make these generals energetic, just like when they were young, do you think it can be sold at a high price?"

"Is there such a magical medicine?!"

Wu Linyue was stunned. This was the first time she heard of such a legendary medicine.

During this period, the research on medicine was still very superficial, so naturally she didn't know about it.

But Situ Kong knew.

"You also know that this is a magical medicine? So, wait for my news."

Looking at Situ Kong's confident steps away, Wu Linyue didn't have any doubts.

On the contrary, there was a flash of expectation in her phoenix eyes.

"If that's the case, when I get old and can't do anything, I won't be able to bully him anymore..."

Wu Linyue looked at Situ Kong's back and smiled meaningfully.
