You cause trouble and I collect your body, the little emperor’s aunt abuses the scumbag again

The child's grandmother always said that there was no need to put too much pressure on the child, and that he would definitely become an official when he grew up.

Therefore, the children have been neglecting their studies and have fallen far behind in their academic abilities over the years.

"need!"

"But the arsenal needs talent in all fields, so it's not just about academic knowledge!"

These words made the woman's voice rise in excitement, "Your Majesty, do you mean, what's the point of taking the exam?"

Sheng Yuhua shook her head, "I don't know yet! They need to discuss it!"

"However, your children have priority access to the arsenal!"

Sheng Yuhua could make that decision. The ladies all looked delighted. "Your Majesty, is what you just said true?"

This is like a windfall!

"Of course!"

Sheng Yuhua glanced at everyone present, "However, let me make this clear from the start: if you want to establish an arms factory, you must first sign an agreement. You cannot leave for five years!"

The women looked at each other in bewilderment. Five years!

What if a more suitable position becomes available? Can't we just transfer?

They just wanted their child to go there to gain prestige, stay for a year or two, and then move on to somewhere else, but now there's a five-year contract...

"Does it take at least five years?"

Sheng Yuhua looked at her, "Do you think your child won't last five years?"

The woman quickly shook her head, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean that."

"I'm just worried that in less than five years, a more suitable position for the child might come up..."

"There's no need to worry about that. If a more suitable candidate becomes available, we can certainly transfer them!"

"However, what I learned at the arsenal must never be passed on to outsiders, no matter what!"

"After passing the factory's assessment, everyone will sign a confidentiality agreement! Violation of this agreement will implicate the entire family!"

The group was taken aback, but after a moment's thought, they felt it was the right thing to do.

The arsenal was something that had never been opened before, so the Emperor and Empress would definitely be very careful and there would be absolutely no mistakes.

What if someone learns something at the arsenal and then defectes to another country? Wouldn't that be shooting themselves in the foot? The Emperor and Empress are so intelligent, how could they possibly make such a grave mistake?

"If you are interested in this, you can talk to your child about it."

"But let me make this clear from the start: this is a state secret project. If anyone betrays us, it won't just be one person who dies!"

The ladies quickly assured them that their children would never commit treason.

The clever ones were secretly pleased with themselves, thinking that if they were chosen this time, they would definitely be given important responsibilities.

If you do a good job, you might become the emperor's right-hand man. That's much better than climbing the ranks step by step from a lowly seventh-rank official.

I must have a good talk with my rascal later and try my best to get selected.

"Also, some positions in the arsenal may be closed for a period of time. Once selected, you might not be able to contact your family!"

The ladies were conflicted again. Their children were all around them, and they couldn't bear it if they didn't come back for a long time.

I'll discuss it with my child and my husband when I get home, and then we'll see how things go.

After seeing off several ladies, Sheng Yuhua also felt tired.

Xiao Man pouted, "Your Majesty, why talk so much to them? Their children are obviously pampered young masters; they can't handle hardship at all. Even if they're sent to the arsenal, they might not be able to work hard. They'll all act like royalty..."

"That's right, we might as well use some bodyguards!"

Xingyue also disagreed.

Seeing the two girls' sullen faces, Sheng Yuhua smiled and comforted them, "Once they're inside, there's always a way to keep them in line. Don't worry, whether they're dragons or tigers, they'll have to behave themselves once they're inside!"

The two girls exchanged a glance, feeling that these scions of noble families were not very reliable.

While the ladies here were still thinking about getting their children in, things were also bustling with activity outside the capital.

A new cluster of houses has been built to the south, estimated to number over a thousand.

Someone asked curiously, "Why are there so many houses? Is someone coming over?"
