Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

After receiving Xiao Lengyue's divination, Old Tutor Murong left the palace with peace of mind.

Xiao Lengyue was in the Yangxin Palace, writing a letter.

After he finished writing, he said, "Ryuji."

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Er's figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Lengyue.

"Send this to Leng Haoxuan."

After taking the letter, Long Er disappeared in the Yangxin Palace.

Afterwards, Xiao Lengyue called Xiao Wu in and stayed in the Yangxin Palace for a quarter of an hour.

No one knew what they talked about in there, but the next day, the rice shop in the imperial city had a much better business.

After that, the rice shops in every city saw much better business.

And eighty percent of these rice shops are opened by Leng Haoxuan.

Soon, five days passed and the sky turned from sunny to cloudy.

When the people saw the weather change, they all rushed back from the fields and waited until evening, when it finally rained.

At the beginning, people were happy because it was time for spring planting and the rain was just right.

But after the spring rain fell continuously for two days, I became restless.

"Old man, how long will this rain last?"

"If this continues, the crops in the fields will be wasted."

Such conversations not only occurred in the imperial city, but also were heard by people in other cities.

The largest number of them are from the barbarians.

The land of the barbarians is almost entirely desert, and there are very few mountains and forests there, most of which are rocky mountains.

When it rains heavily, the mountain soil is easily torn apart, and mud and water flow down the mountaintops towards the city.

The people's lives were originally very difficult and they could only make a living by herding sheep.

But now the rain is so heavy that we can’t go out to herd the sheep, so the sheep will just starve.

Many people looked at the weather and had no choice but to go out in the rain to cut grass. Some of them couldn't cut the grass, so they used hoes to dig up the grass.

The reason why they set their sights on the Yuan Dynasty was mainly because they had their eyes on the Yuan Dynasty.

The people of Chaoyang Country were also uneasy at home.

They don't have to worry about crops or that their sheep have no grass to eat.

But they were worried that if the rain continued and the sea level rose, the people of Chaoyang would at best have their homes flooded, or at worst, be washed away by the sea.

Xiao Lengyue didn't know all this, and even if she did, she couldn't do anything about it.

He can't even take care of his own people, so how can he care about the enemy's affairs?

At this moment, she was in the Yangxin Palace, looking at the officials below, "If everything is fine, then let's adjourn the court."

When the Minister of Revenue heard this, he quickly took two steps to the side and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Xiao Lengyue looked at the Minister of Revenue and said, "Speak."

When the Minister of Revenue heard this, he trembled slightly and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, because it has been raining, the grain in the granary has become damp.

If the rain doesn’t stop, the grain in the granary will be gone in a few days.”

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she was slightly stunned and looked at the Minister of Revenue, "How do you usually preserve it?"

"The granary was built with cement, and stones were placed on the cement floor, but the grain still got damp."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she asked suspiciously, "Have you done waterproofing?"

When the Minister of Revenue heard this, he was stunned and asked, "Your Majesty, what is waterproofing?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lengyue's eyes moved slightly. It seemed that they did not do waterproofing.

It has been raining for the past few days, and because there is no waterproofing, the cement floor has started to get wet.

The stones placed on top cannot block the moisture, so the grain begins to get damp.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lengyue asked, "How many kilograms of grain are damp?"

The Minister of Revenue thought about the statistics of the past two days and said, "10,000 kilograms of grain have been affected by moisture, and there are still 30,000 kilograms that have not been affected by moisture."

When grain is stored, it is stacked upwards, so the ones at the bottom have all become damp, but those at the top have not.

Xiao Lengyue thought for a few seconds and said calmly: "Put the food in a ventilated room, lay wooden boards on the ground, and then put a waterproof cloth on it, put all the food into the waterproof cloth, and then cover it with the waterproof cloth.

Then, fill a cloth bag with lime and place it around the house so it won’t get damp.”

The Minister of Revenue had already quickly written down what Xiao Lengyue said while he was speaking.

At this moment, looking at the notes in the notebook, a smile finally appeared on his face.

But when he thought of the damp food, his face turned ugly again.

It would be a pity if so much food went bad.

Xiao Lengyue took all of his expressions into consideration, and a hint of smile flashed across her eyes.

This Minister of the Ministry of Revenue had previously contradicted Xiao Rende over tax issues, so he was exiled to a mine by Xiao Rende.

After that, he was settled down by Tianze and only came back after she succeeded to the throne.

Xiao Lengyue looked at his expression, coughed lightly, and then looked at the officials, "Who else has something to report?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials fell silent.

Seeing that they were silent, Xiao Lengyue asked again. After seeing that no one came out, she said calmly, "Who is in charge of the people in the imperial city?"

As soon as Xiao Lengyue finished speaking, a man stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it's you, my humble servant."

Xiao Lengyue looked at the man and said, "Can you report to me if nothing happens?"

When the man heard this, he trembled and tried hard to recall it, but he couldn't think of what he had forgotten.

Xiao Lengyue looked at the man with no expression on her face, but people who were familiar with Xiao Lengyue knew that this was the prelude to her getting angry.

Old Master Murong was standing aside, sweating for the man.

The man was so anxious that sweat started to appear on his forehead, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

He took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she said calmly, "How did this person get to this position?"

Upon hearing this, Tianze bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I was recommended by the former Minister of Personnel.

No lives were lost, and no harm was done to the people."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she said calmly, "But you haven't done anything beneficial to the people, right?"

After hearing this, Tianze stopped talking.

Seeing this, Xiao Lengyue said, "Minister of Personnel, come out."

Hearing this, a man stood up.

Xiao Lengyue said calmly: "From today on, the recommendation system will be abolished.

From now on, those who want to become an official can directly take the imperial examination.

The Ministry of Personnel has set up a separate Merit Department. Those who want to be promoted need to show their merits. "

As soon as Xiao Lengyue said this, all the officials became uneasy.

Your Majesty, has the recommendation system been directly abolished?

Without even discussing it with all the officials, he just issued the decree?

All the officials looked at Old Tutor Murong in bewilderment, and only when they saw that he also looked confused did they secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Lengyue was already prepared for opposition from all officials, but what was the situation now?
