After the empress Liang Zhao finished talking about the locusts in Qingzhou, she took the initiative and said: "Zhou Aiqing, I remember that you proposed many ideas and plans back then, and you have gradually completed many of them over the years!"
"I have read that article..."
"Among them, there are two things that remain fresh in my memory."
"The first one is to take back the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun."
"The second is to establish a free trade zone to restore blood to the court and increase revenue."
"Zhou Aiqing, do you still remember?"
Zhou Zhenwen nodded slightly: "Of course I remember!"
"Okay, I have decided to let you implement the free trade zone plan. I will allocate a place and give it to you. You can use it as you want. You only need to make money for the court. You don't have to worry about other things. I will give you the full details. !!" Empress Liang Zhao said in a deep voice.
"Huh?" Zhou Zhenwen looked surprised. He suddenly couldn't figure out Emperor Xuan's intention.
What was the purpose of Emperor Xuan's move?
Do you want to release me...and prevent me from returning to the cabinet and continue to release me?
Or do you have any other plans?
Zhou Zhenwen is also a little confused! !
Emperor Xuan's idea was really too unexpected! !
"how?"
"Does Zhou Aiqing have any worries?" Empress Liang Zhao asked, smiling secretly in her heart but looking calm on the outside.
"Back to Your Majesty, the free trade zone needs absolute control, and many laws need to be revised. If you want to make the free trade zone work, you need the support of local people and the support of chambers of commerce in various places. This requires improving the quality of businessmen. Status..." Zhou Zhenwen explained.
"It doesn't matter, write me a list of the things you need and the support you need, and I will try my best to support you. Zhou Aiqing, just give it a try!!" Empress Liang Zhao said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will cause criticism from all the officials, right?" Zhou Zhenwen continued to test.
"What's wrong with criticism?" Empress Liang Zhao chuckled, "How many people in the court will object to what you and I decide?"
Emperor Xuan's words were very resounding, and the meaning revealed in them made the eldest princess pregnant even a little frightened! !
Emperor Xuan's meaning couldn't be more obvious... The subtext is very simple, that is, in the entire court, the Tsing Yi Party and the Imperial Party occupy an absolute position! !
As long as you and I cooperate, the entire court will be ours! !
There is no way other parties or forces can block our will! !
If anyone else had said these words, the eldest princess Huaizhen would definitely accuse the other party of being treasonous! !
But these words, coming from Emperor Xuan's mouth, made the eldest princess Huaizhen surprised. He could actually tolerate his ministers having such power, and the subtext had another meaning...that is, you and I can share the world! !
This is a great recognition and a great respect! !
"Your Majesty, you are anxious to establish a free trade zone... Is there anything you need money for recently?" Zhou Zhenwen always felt that this matter was weird. Is the establishment of a free trade zone really the result of Emperor Xuan? Want to make money?
Or should we let ourselves go, suppress ourselves, and completely control the court?
Two attitudes, two choices! !
Once Zhou Zhenwen agrees to be released to the free trade zone, he is likely to lose control of the court, leading to many variables...
Therefore, Zhou Zhenwen had to be cautious! !
Empress Liang Zhao thought for a while and ordered to the left and right: "You all get out!!"
"Yes." The eunuchs and maids quickly exited the imperial study.
Empress Liang Zhao walked to the bookshelf and activated the sound-isolating array to block the surrounding sounds.
"Zhou Aiqing, there are some things I can only say to you two!"
"I have obtained a ancient book that has been handed down from ancient times. This book has the ability to preview the future in a short time. It can synchronize a few words of prompts and pictures. I recently activated it, and it gave prompts... "Empress Liang looked after the two of them, making up lies without a blushing face.
"Huh?" Zhou Zhenwen frowned and fell into deep thought.
The eldest princess Huaizhen was also very surprised. She stayed in the palace all year round. If there was such a strange thing in the palace, how could she not know about it?
"Your Majesty, what did you learn from that mysterious ancient book?" Zhou Zhenwen asked.
Zhou Zhenwen actually felt that Emperor Xuan's words were a bit nonsense, but he was still quite curious. What did Emperor Xuan know?
Finally, I chose to establish myself a free trade zone...
"That ancient book...manifested several scenes!"
"The first one is about you!"
Empress Liang Zhao pointed at Zhou Zhenwen and said in a deep voice: "In the picture, you built a city. The city is extremely prosperous and is divided into four areas, including casinos, horse racing, buildings, auction houses, banks... ...All kinds of money, like mountains and rivers, poured into the city. You also opened a dock and built that city into a trade center for the entire wilderness..."
"Huh?" Zhou Zhenwen also showed surprise. Many of the pictures painted by Emperor Xuan were actually part of his imagination. If he established a free trade zone and an independent city, he would do the same! !
The most important thing is that many of the above thoughts and ideas can only be possessed by Zhou Zhenwen's world. Unless there are other time travellers, it is impossible for them to appear! !
Could it be that Emperor Xuan really got a book that could predict the future... Zhou Zhenwen suddenly felt a little confused.
"In the second scene, I saw a scene of ice and snow. All the cities in the northern region turned into ice cities, and countless people were displaced. In the end, the extreme cold spread to the capital, and it was blocked by a special magic circle, so the capital was saved..."
"In the third scene, you built several underground cities, moved the people of the Northern Territory and the North into the underground cities, and protected the people of the North..."
"In the fourth picture, a tyrannical demon ape entered the capital and tried to destroy the entire palace with the power of thunder. Finally, a mysterious man took action, wielding the Zhenguo Sword, and blocked the demon ape... ....”
"The fifth scene shows the spiritual energy reviving in the Northern Territory, and countless masters gather in the Northern Territory..."
Empress Liang Zhao turned some of the information obtained from the simulator into five pictures and told it to Zhou Zhenwen and the eldest princess Huaizhen.
Zhou Zhenwen was shocked: spiritual energy revived? A peerless warrior from the ape demon clan came to the capital? Is there an entrance to the Road to Heaven and Man in the Northern Territory? Building a dungeon to escape the ice and snow?
These incidents one after another made Zhou Zhenwen have no choice but to believe what Emperor Xuan said! !
There are some things that Zhou Zhenwen cannot confirm for the time being, but there are some things that he can, such as the various future ideas and designs in the free trade zone plan, and the invasion of the powerful ape demon clan...
You must know that he did it, and no one knows about it except the strong men of the Ape Demon Clan and the Wang family!
However, Emperor Xuan knew about the invasion of the ape demon clan.
There is only one possibility. Emperor Xuan does have some ability to predict the future! !
