Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 482: Give and take ——2
Seeing that the officials were free all day and wanted to cause trouble, Liu Hui Ying's eyes flashed with a sly glint. She looked at Zhai Tianyu and then said, " Why don't you open a bank along with an income tax department?"
" A what?" Zhai Tianyu had heard about taxes but he had never heard about a bank and income tax department what kind of thing was this?
Liu Hui Ying smiled and calmly explained, " A bank is a kind of organization where one can put their money. It provides security and guarantees that the money submitted by the bank account owner will not be stolen by anyone else. But at the same time, we can keep track of those who have extra sums of money, and where the income tax department comes from.
As long as a person's monthly salary crosses the limit set by you, they need to pay a certain sum of money as taxes which you can use to develop the imperial city."
The more Zhai Tianyu listened to Liu Hui Ying, the more his eyes shone. This was certainly a good thing but then he paused and asked, " What about the private warehouses that are built by the officials?"
" Should they not be abolished?" Liu Hui Ying arched a brow and questioned. Since Zhai Tianyu had helped her by giving her the information that would help her filter the list, she was willing to help him as well. " The reason these ministers of yours can jump around so much is because they have a lot of free time. Why don't you give them something to think about?
After all, they have extra money which is why they create so much ruckus, when their money is in your hands, will they still have the time to make so much noise?"
The reason she told Zhai Tianyu this suggestion was because Liu Hui Ying was also annoyed by the ministers. Every day they clamoured to replace her with Ji Yu and if they were not clamouring to replace her then they would be making noise for their daughters to enter the imperial harem.
She had nothing against those women entering the palace but Liu Hui Ying had to face all kinds of mess those women made after entering the palace.
Just because she was the Queen she was often targeted by those women if that was the case then she might as well make it impossible for the ministers to make a ruckus! freewebnσvel.cøm
Zhai Tianyu's eyes were shining like a glass which was illuminated by sunlight, he looked at Liu Hui Ying with a smile on his face and nodded, " You are right, as long as their money is in my hands they would be a bit more tame." He paused and then tapped his fingers on the edge of the bed before asking, " But how to implement it?"
" Why are you thinking about something so small ?" Liu Hui Ying smirked as she looked at Zhai Tianyu and reminded him, " You are the puppet emperor. A fool in the eyes of the officials and a fool does whatever he wants to, who can stop him? Just pretend that someone is guiding you from behind, everyone else would pay attention to the person behind you rather than the puppet on the throne.
Isn't this where Lord Chen comes in handy?"
When Zhai Tianyu heard Liu Hui Ying's words, his eyes lit up. That was right. He was the fool of this court, if he was the fool then he could always act like he was influenced by someone. If he were to act as if he was influenced by Liu Hui Ying's second identity that never existed in the first place, those ministers would turn all their attention to Lord Chen instead of him.
As for Lord Chen… he turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who smiled and then said, " He had something to do and left for his country. There is more than one Lord Chen who is willing to replace him."
She was the goddess of disguise, even if one disguise was useless there was another and then another. She could become an old man to a young boy, there was no lack of disguises!
Zhai Tianyu sniggered. For the first time, he felt that someone was standing next to him, in the past even if Ji Yu was with him, she could not do much and he had to take care of everything on his own but now he seemed a bit more relaxed. Even if Liu Hui Ying was doing this for her own benefit, he knew that it would help him as well. After all, the officials were indeed quite troublesome these days.
After Liu Hui Ying was done speaking she lowered her head and started to read the information on the documents silently. She needed to clear up everything such that the matter with the Flower Selection Ceremony was dealt with as soon as possible.

While she was reading the documents, Zhai Tianyu stared at her silently. His gaze fell on Liu Hui Ying's figure which was illuminated with the soft glow of the setting sun and he couldn't help but sigh. A woman who was confident and knew what she wanted to do was indeed quite beautiful.
As his gaze fell on Liu Hui Ying, he noticed the tip of her ears which were slightly red. This sudden change in Liu Hui Ying startled him but it also made him smile, It looked like Liu Hui Ying was not as unaffected by him as she made it look.
This was also good at least she felt something for him.
" What?" Maybe Liu Hui Ying noticed the smug grin on his face which was why she raised her head and glared at him, as if silently questioning why he was looking at her like that, her glaring face only made Zhai Tianyu smile even more as he turned his face away and replied, " Nothing, I was just thinking what to do with the money that I will take from the old officials.
Since there was a facility, there had to be interest right?"
