I was reborn as the villain

Chen Zhimo continued unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, there is still the most important thing, that is to develop business and store wealth for the people. If the people's life is better, they will naturally not follow the chaotic officials and thieves. Who wants to let a good life go?" But to take the risk of losing your head, and the country also needs to be strong, so that the country will not be bullied by foreign enemies."

"The country of Shucang has always been peaceful, prosperous and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so they will never do rebellious things. Although our country, Shucang, has no monks to join the army, it is also powerful and not afraid of the enemy." The little emperor was quite complacent. Since he was in power, he has loved the people like a son and lowered taxes repeatedly. He thinks that the people's life is very good, and the soldiers of Shucang Kingdom are all brave.

Chen Zhimo had to admit that the people of the Shucang Kingdom were much happier than the people of other countries that had been in war for years, and the military's combat capability was also very strong, but there were still many problems.

"Your Majesty, you can't just look at the surface of many things. The prosperity of a country depends on its comprehensive national strength," Chen Zhimo said seriously.

"Comprehensive national strength?", the little emperor heard this word for the first time.

"Yes, comprehensive national strength, comprehensive national strength includes economy, politics, military, culture, science and technology, education, human resources, etc. Comprehensive national strength is the most important indicator to measure a country's basic national conditions and basic resources, and it is also a comprehensive indicator to measure a country's strength , the strength of a country cannot be measured from just one aspect.”

Chen Zhimo paused for the little emperor to digest the new knowledge, and then continued to preach: "Now the gap between the rich and the poor in the Shucang country is too large, the rich and powerful have too many privileges, and the common people have a strong sense of injustice, and the Shucang country is a hub. There are frequent commercial activities in this area, but it has never been able to become bigger and stronger. The economy of the whole country is still in a state of disarray. In my opinion, the assessment mechanism in this area is not perfect, and the relevant business laws are not standardized. According to my statistics, The GDP of Shucang Kingdom is a bit lower, and there is still a lot of room for improvement."

"Chicken fart?"

"GDP, gross domestic product, is the final result of the production activities of all resident units in a country (or region) within a certain period of time. GDP is the core indicator of national economic accounting, and it is also an important indicator to measure the economic status and development level of a country or region. Indicators, judging from this indicator, Shucang City can barely be regarded as a developing city. You know Shangjin City, the GDP of Shucang Kingdom should be less than half of that of Shangjin City, and the scale of Shangjin City is not as large as that of Shucang City. Half of Cangcheng."

The little emperor nodded half-understood. He has heard of Shangjin City. It is a city that has created miracles. Now it is the commercial and financial center of the Tianyun Empire. The economy and trade are very prosperous and the people live well. It is a life of rich clothes and good food. It is said that the business there is prosperous and the law is strict. The little emperor said with great yearning: "Then how can we improve the status of Shucang City?"

"Develop a gdp assessment system, put pressure on officials at all levels below, formulate reasonable business regulations, regulate the market, crack down on counterfeit and shoddy products, optimize the business environment, strengthen intellectual property protection, build commercial brands, formulate patent policies, and improve contract laws , strict laws and regulations, advocating fairness and justice..."

Chen Zhimo talked a lot in one breath, and introduced some things in detail.

The little emperor heard these novel things for the first time with great interest, but he didn't understand many things.

Chen Zhimo also talked about many theories that guide people's thinking, such as establishing patriotism, promoting positive energy in society, and making people have a sense of identity, belonging, honor, and pride in the country.

Chen Zhimo talked a lot, and he was not in a hurry. He didn't want the little emperor to understand and accept it all. What he wanted was for the little emperor to have a concept in his mind.

This conversation took a very long time, from lunch to dinner, and finally the four of them chatted about some unimportant things and became more familiar.

Chen Zhimo didn't want to be an official in the court, and Chen Xiaotong finally delayed the matter of entering the palace to meet the queen mother. The two people's lack of utilitarianism made the little emperor and the eldest princess feel very relaxed, and the four of them got along more peacefully .

Of course, Chen Zhimo also showed his intentions to some extent, otherwise it would be impossible for a member of the royal family to believe that he was only here to help the emperor.

Chen Zhimo's own intention is very simple, that is, he wants to be close to a big tree, preferably a big tree that is still growing, and his intention is to hope that he can flex his muscles in the business world, and the little emperor Governing the country well can provide him with a fair and suitable environment.

Chen Zhimo's heart for business made the little emperor sigh for it. He was a good man, and he didn't aim to be a general and a minister. He insisted on doing business. In Linghai, even in a country as tolerant as Shucang City, the status of a businessman It's not too high, it's better than not being a high-ranking official or a noble family, so the little emperor inevitably looked down on Chen Zhimo again.

Generally speaking, the conversation went well. The little emperor got what he wanted, and Chen Zhimo also gained a lot. It was getting late, and Chen Zhimo and Chen Zhimo left.

Chen Zhimo returned the jade card of the eldest princess but got the little emperor's jade card, which was given to him by the little emperor for the convenience of Chen Zhimo. By the way, Chen Zhimo had the cheek to ask for it before he left. Buy two hundred silver pattern coins of the five elements material.

"Come out!"

Following the little emperor's words, Eunuch Shen came out from behind the screen, bowing forward with a gloomy face and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty really trusts that person?"

Shen Hezhong was Chen Zhimo's guess that the immortal cultivator next to the little emperor, and his cultivation was at the Qi Yuan state of the Sanyuan state.

The little emperor waved his hands expressionlessly, and signaled Shen Hezhong to stand up.

"Eunuch Shen, what do you think of this person?"

Eunuch Shen thought for a while and said: "This person is courageous, thoughtful, and has unique ideas. He is indeed capable, but..."

"Eunuch Shen, don't worry, I think he doesn't dare to go out and talk nonsense, and he doesn't know that you are by my side." The little emperor interrupted Eunuch Shen, stared at Eunuch Shen and continued solemnly: "Eunuch Shen , from now on, you have to hide your cultivation even more, if someone finds out, I have only two choices, either abolish your cultivation, or punish you for deceiving the king."

"The slave obeys the order."

Eunuch Shen knows very well that if his identity as an immortal cultivator is revealed, then the little emperor will either choose to abolish his cultivation to show an explanation, or he will put aside the crime of deceiving the emperor for blinding the Holy One to Eunuch Shen, and Eunuch Shen It was very clear that the little emperor would choose the latter without hesitation.

The little emperor said dissatisfied: "Eunuch Shen, you are an old man beside my mother and me. You have been kind to my royal family. How many times have you said that you don't have to call yourself a slave when there are no outsiders."

The little emperor is very generous and magnanimous to those close to him.

Eunuch Shen lowered his head and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid that the slave will be easy to say, so let's follow the rules, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Seeing that Eunuch Shen insisted, the little emperor didn't say any more.

What the little emperor thought in his heart was that if the Five Elements Dark Guard was successfully formed, then his own safety would be more secure, and the possibility of Eunuch Shen revealing his identity would be even smaller.

"Eunuch Shen, do you think that what the kid said about protecting the king is true?" The little emperor asked a sensitive question.

Eunuch Shen hurriedly knelt down and said eagerly: "This son speaks outrageously. How dare he guess the auxiliary ministers and divorce the royal family. It is a serious crime."

The little emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly without anger, "Why are you so nervous? I haven't even punished him for his crime, so why is there such a serious crime?"

Eunuch Shen hastily said, "It's a slave who is stupid, please punish me, Your Majesty."

The little emperor ignored Shen Gonggong, but continued: "Shen Gonggong, I just said that you are an old man in the palace, and you also watched me and the princess grow up. You also know the things around me. After that incident, the stepmother sent you to my side, is there any secret behind it?"

Eunuch Shen prostrated himself on the ground and dared not raise his head, "There is no secret in returning to His Majesty, but the Empress Dowager is worried about His Majesty, so she appointed a special servant to serve and protect her."

"Bold, you still dare to hide something. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will go to the palace and ask the Queen Mother. If you still can't find out why, then I will go to protect the king's palace." The little emperor was furious. Furious, he felt a trace of fear in his heart, maybe Chen Zhimo's conjecture was true, and his mother knew about these things.

Eunuch Shen kowtowed like garlic, "Your Majesty, it's the Queen Mother..."

"Go on."

"Oh, Your Majesty, this is also the meaning of the Empress Dowager's love and protection for His Majesty. At that time, His Majesty was indeed in danger, and the Empress Dowager specially ordered servants to guard His Majesty to ensure that His Majesty can escape the many murderous opportunities smoothly." Eunuch Shen sighed and decided Tell the little emperor everything.

At this time, the little emperor has grown up and has his own ideas and methods. The queen mother also ordered that the country's affairs should be handled by His Majesty. She no longer cares about the care of her life. Now tell the little emperor the truth and trust the queen mother I won't blame him either.

"Go on in detail."

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the time when you were in exile?"

"Of course I remember that back then, in order to avoid the fight for the heir apparent, I lived a miserable life with my mother, queen and sister. At that time, the only ones who insisted on following me were you and Jiang Wenwen. It's a pity... Alas! "

The little emperor recalled the hardships many years ago. Jiang Wenwen was the queen mother's personal maid at that time, and she had died for many years.

"At the beginning, the coup to seize the throne lasted for many years, and the royal family was often killed. His majesty escaped from the imperial city after several twists and turns, and he would inevitably encounter various assassinations. Perhaps your majesty would be surprised, why did you not feel that someone wanted to secretly in those days when you were living in a miserable place?" The evil move was because the Queen Mother ordered the servants to protect each other with all their might but was not allowed to tell His Majesty and the Eldest Princess, the Empress Dowager wanted to make life easier for Your Majesty and the Eldest Princess."

Eunuch Shen paused for a moment, and the little emperor also began to try hard to recall his life many years ago, trying to find clues from the fragments of memories, but the little emperor was too young at that time, and many things could not be remembered clearly.

At this moment, the eldest princess was startled and said, "Could it be that Jiang Wenwen's death..."

The eldest princess' words attracted the little emperor to look at Shen Hezhong.

Eunuch Shen nodded, "That's right, Jiang Wenwen died to protect His Majesty. Back then, Taihe ordered the servants to disguise Jiang Wenwen's death as an accident to avoid publicity."

"Later, His Majesty was found by Mu Xiang, and he escorted His Majesty back to the imperial city, and joined forces with Prince Xun and General Yuan who came to King Qin, and finally entered the imperial city to support His Majesty as emperor."

"It's just that when His Majesty was young, the Queen Mother was in charge of the government, and three ministers assisted him. At that time, there were frequent crises around His Majesty, and even a drowning incident happened at the same time as the Eldest Princess. After a thorough investigation, it was found that someone was plotting against His Majesty, but the clues were cut off every time the key point was found, and the Empress Dowager knew that the matter was complicated, so she dared not delve into it, so she ordered the servants to bring all the loyal servants to guard His Majesty."

"Now that I heard what that kid said, it really...does have some truth."

The little emperor snorted, "Stupid slave, why did you tell me this? It seems that the empress mother has already guessed who is behind the scenes, but she dare not expose it because of her great power."

"The empress dowager was afraid of scaring the snake, so she specifically asked the relevant people not to wait to reveal a word, and ask Your Majesty to forgive me."
