Time Travel: The King's Golden Concubine

Chapter 218 Deal under Confrontation (3)

In Qingxing Palace, the Empress Dowager just came down from the morning court.

Seeing the emperor came back, I was very surprised. When did this palace become so easy to get in and out of?

"You still know how to come back." The queen mother said.

"Mother is auspicious! My son greets you." Wu Di said with a playful smile.

The queen mother looked at him, thinking that women really have magical powers. The current emperor is full of vigor, which is indeed different from before, but why can't he do something serious?

"What are you doing back here?"

"I miss my mother. I ran back to see if my mother is in good health." Wu Di said with a smile.

"Is there something wrong?" The queen mother saw through Wu Di's small thoughts at a glance. If there is no need, he will never come back. "It's still the empress who understands the son. In fact, I have important things to do when I come back this time. The economy of our Tang Empire has been in recession recently, and the son is thinking about reform. Otherwise, the economic problems will definitely affect the overall development of the Tang Dynasty in the long run. " Wu Di laughed.

The Empress Dowager looked at Wu Di suspiciously, and thought to herself, "Is this reform so easy?"
"Why, did you take the wrong medicine? Suddenly you care about the government?"

"Even though I'm away, my heart is centered. In recent days, I learned about the market environment in Chang'an and found it very chaotic. So I rushed back, hoping to rectify it." Wu Di laughed.

"It's not likely to cause any trouble. I want to come back and use my identity to punish the other party." The Queen Mother still felt that there was a problem. Wu Di's character was not that kind of careful person, and he would not investigate and verify in the market.

"How is it possible, is Erchen the kind of person who will cause trouble?" Wu Di retorted.

"Haven't you caused too much trouble?"

"Um~~Okay. Erchen is serious. This Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, famous all over the world, and the business industry is well-developed. But it seems very chaotic, the management is loose, and there is no special department to manage it. As a result, many shops secretly engage in small tricks to seek Illegal interests have harmed peddlers who rely on legitimate means to make a living. Therefore, Erchen plans to set up a business administration bureau and set up branches across the country. Every locality has this branch, and the central level manages it uniformly." Wu Di described .

"It took such a big deal to set up this Administration for Industry and Commerce?" the Queen Mother asked.

The quality of this reform is directly related to the stability of the economy.

Although the queen mother is very pleased with Wu Di's gradual transformation, it does not mean that she listens to him in everything.

"The Administration for Industry and Commerce is mainly responsible for counting the shops in the locality, and then issuing business licenses to the shops. Only shops that have obtained a business license can open and operate. To obtain a business license, it needs to go through the review and evaluation of the Administration for Industry and Commerce. Not good, the shops with bad reviews from the common people will be closed. In this way, the order of the shopping malls must be orderly, and more and more good shops will definitely drive economic growth." Wu Di said.

The queen mother was silent, she heard a general idea, which was a bit interesting.

In the past, if you had money, you could open shops. In fact, many of them were cheating people's money.If it is under official jurisdiction, perhaps the market will be better.

"Another function of the Administration for Industry and Commerce is to supervise the shops. Once violations are found, the business license will be revoked immediately and the shops will not be allowed to operate. In this way, there will be more rules among the shops." Wu Di added.

Seeing the queen mother pondering, Wu Di hurriedly asked: "What does the queen mother think?"
