Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

Prince Duan left the capital, but everything in the capital remained the same.

The matters discussed in the Yangxin Palace were then handled by Prime Minister Song, who brought Wan Xuzhe and Liao Wei to the Ministry of Revenue to take up their duties.

Since the two assignments of "Ministry of Commerce" and "Ministry of Education" had never been widely publicized, Minister Zhao only learned today that his Ministry of Revenue was going to be divided into three parts.

But since the emperor has issued the decree, there is no room for maneuver.

His face turned green as he looked at Wan Zhuangyuan, who looked as innocent as a black sesame dumpling, and Liao Wei, who had a gentle face but high morale.

Prime Minister Song stroked his beard, as if he couldn't understand Minister Zhao's expression, and said with a smile: "Minister Zhao, the emperor means that although these two branches are directly managed by me, they are registered under the name of the Ministry of Revenue. In this case, I will ask Minister Zhao to take more care of it."

Minister Zhao gritted his teeth with a sound of chattering. Prime Minister Song's words clearly showed "This is my man, you'd better be more cautious of me" written on his face!

But what could he say?

Prime Minister Song is also his immediate superior!

He hurriedly said, "Your Excellency is right. I understand. We are both under the same roof of the Ministry of Revenue. I will naturally cooperate with you two in your mission."

Prime Minister Song nodded with satisfaction: "Minister Zhao is indeed very understanding. They will start from scratch. I hope that Minister Zhao can support them with more money."

The Ministry of Revenue is naturally responsible for managing the government’s spending.

Wan Xiuze and Liao Wei looked at each other and immediately smiled like flowers: "Thank you very much, Minister Zhao."

Minister Zhao's heart ached, and when he looked at those two rookies who were relying on their masters for power, his heart ached again. What kind of people are they!

They took away his power and still wanted him to approve money. This is robbery! Robbery!

Minister Zhao said reluctantly: "To open a new ministry, according to the rules, a new government office must be built. You two should go to the Ministry of Works to propose..."

After hearing the opening words, Song Xiang seemed to be feeling unwell for some reason, "Ahem..."

Minister Zhao: "......"

Who gave the robber a good backer?

Minister Zhao quickly changed his words and said, "...It will take some time to build a government office. Now, the west courtyard of the Ministry of Revenue is still empty, so let's give it to you two to use as an office. As for the necessary staff, please submit a list of people to be employed. It is not convenient for me to get involved in other tasks, so I will approve 10,000 first..."

Prime Minister Song narrowed his eyes and said, "Ten thousand taels?"

Sending beggars away!

So the cough that he had just suppressed could no longer be suppressed.

"cough......"

"Well, then let's approve 500,000 taels for the two young masters first!" Minister Zhao also knew that what he said was a bit outrageous, so he quickly changed his words. Fearing that Prime Minister Song was still not satisfied, he quickly forced himself to defend himself: "Now the treasury is empty, and there is really no extra silver..."

Prime Minister Song thought about it and realized that it was impossible to complete this new job in one go. Five hundred thousand taels was enough to support basic operations, so he reluctantly said, "Then let's do as Lord Zhao wishes."

Minister Zhao wanted to cry but had no tears: "...You don't have to be polite, sir."

That was not what I meant. It was clearly you who forced me to give it to you!

......

The news that the imperial court was going to set up the "Ministry of Commerce" and the "Ministry of Education" quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital through the newspapers of Wansheng Bookstore.

Like a drop of clean water splashing into an oil pan, it instantly caused an uproar.

"What? Skills can be registered with the court and rent can be collected?"

"That's right! I heard that Mr. Yang, the owner of the stewed food shop at the entrance of the alley, has his stewed sauce recipe registered, and the rent alone is 100 taels of silver a year!"

"Then can I also register my skill of making kites?"

"Of course you can! Go quickly, there's a long line at the entrance to the household registration office!"

The office of the Ministry of Revenue was as busy as a vegetable market: "Master Xiao Wan, hurry up! Swing your pen until sparks fly!"

"Hahahaha! If sparks really fly, then all the previous registrations will be in vain!"

"That's right! Oh, never mind, Master Xiao Wan, please write faster!"

Wan Xiu had no choice but to set up the table on the street, rolled up his sleeves, and greeted people with sweat on his forehead: "Come one by one, everyone can be registered!"

"Good, good, good, Master Xiao Wan is mighty!"

In comparison, Mr. Liao’s Ministry of Education did not make much of a splash because it was slow to show results.

Lord Liao also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he bought a piece of land near the Imperial College and asked the Ministry of Works to build an enlightenment school for children modeled after the Imperial College.

He then brought in his grandfather, Taifu Liao, to take charge, and in the name of Taifu Liao, began to send visiting cards to those aristocratic families, asking them to send their children who needed education over there!

All the noble families responded positively, and some even donated money and manpower on their own initiative to help the Ministry of Works build the school!

When this newspaper printed with the imperial court's policies was passed from the gatehouse of Prince Duan's Mansion to Gu Zhilan's hands, she looked at the words on the newspaper and her eyes widened little by little.

What was written in the newspaper was something she was very familiar with. She felt like she had been hit on the head... The Ministry of Education was fine, but Wan Xiu was just following her instructions and saying it in public.

But this Ministry of Commerce, registering patents, leasing patents...isn't this the Intellectual Property Management Department of later generations? !

Gu Zhilan just felt her scalp tingling. There was no need to think too much. This must be the work of the "time traveler" beside Shen Xiyue.

She frowned, feeling angry and aggrieved.

It's not that she doesn't understand or doesn't know the good ideas of later generations. It's just that her ability as a person is limited, and she needs the help of the superiors of this era... However, Prince Duan doesn't take it seriously!

Gu Zhilan felt extremely depressed.

Is this a joke that fate is playing on her?

Is it true that only the true "child of destiny" can have everything go smoothly, have opportunities everywhere, meet noble people all the time, and repeatedly set new records?

No...no...she doesn't believe in fate!

She believes that everything depends on human efforts.

Gu Zhilan took a deep breath and began to carefully compare herself with the "time traveler" she had never met. They knew the same things and had similar thoughts. The only difference was...

backing!

Prince Duan didn't value me. I just failed once in the matter of white paper, and he lost his trust in me...and that time traveler, his backers were Shen Xiyue and the prince.

Shen Xiyue accepted everything that the "time traveler" brought out, so she and the prince benefited a lot!

When she thought of this, Gu Zhilan suddenly had another extremely terrifying idea.

That is, isn't the real child of destiny the "traveler" beside Shen Xiyue, but the couple Shen Xiyue and Murong Xuan? !
