After the confinement period, Su Qingwan started to get busy again.

What she and Yan Mingjue have done in the past two years has achieved good results, and more and more women have left their homes.

The ultimate goal of Su Qingwan and Yan Mingjue is to allow women to enter the court.

This is very difficult, even more difficult than allowing ordinary people to pass the imperial examination and enter the court.

They have been preparing for so long, and now they are just testing the waters a little bit.

Su Qingwan expressed her thoughts.

"I can slowly get involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of Agriculture."

After all, few people are better at making money than her.

Yan Mingjue had this plan before.

Nowadays, many construction projects in the Daqing Dynasty were funded by Su Qingwan. Let her take over slowly so that the court officials can adapt.

So, during the morning court session, he proposed to build a road.

The benefits of road construction are obvious. The road that Su Qingwan funded and built before not only greatly shortened the distance between the two places, but also promoted the development of the two places.

With such benefits before their eyes, no one would refuse, but the Minister of Revenue still said:

"Your Majesty, the money in the treasury is not enough to support large-scale road construction."

Although the national treasury has not been so empty in the past two years, it is not full after all. The reason is that the emperor has built a lot of things in the past two years. Which dam or river embankment does not require silver?

Moreover, when the emperor ascended the throne, he reduced taxes, which lasted for three years.

Even if we make up for it from other sources, we can't afford such consumption.

"waste!"

Yan Mingjue pretended to be displeased and said:

"Every time you say you don't have money, then what use is there for me to have you, the Minister of Finance?"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

The Minister of Revenue knelt down and begged for mercy, but he was also helpless. There was no silver in the national treasury. What else could he do?

"If you don't have money, then find a way to earn it. Do you still need me to teach you?"

After saying that, Yan Mingjue turned away, leaving the people in the Ministry of Revenue with pale faces.

The Minister of Revenue is on the verge of breaking his bank, where is he going to get the money?

The Emperor forbade him to increase taxes or plunder the people, so even if he had great abilities he couldn't turn silver into something.

In the end, he could only ask Prime Minister Lan for help. Everyone knew that Prime Minister Lan was the teacher of the two princes and still had some face in front of the emperor.

Lan Xiang thought for a long time and said:

"I am only good at writing, but I am not good at making money!"

The Minister of Revenue also knew this and was disappointed. At this time, he heard Minister Lan say:

"But there is one person who is very good at making money!"

"Who?"

The Minister of Revenue asked hurriedly.

Minister Lan glanced in the direction of the palace and said:

"Of course it's the Queen!"

"You also know that the Queen's private property is spread all over the world."

"Over the years, even though she donated a lot of money, her business has not been affected. Instead, it has become bigger and bigger!"

"So Lord Luo can go and ask the Queen for advice."

The Minister of Finance's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he thought of something else and showed a hint of hesitation.

"But, the Emperor..."

Lan Xiang shook his head and said:

"Do you think the Emperor will blame the Empress?"

These words undoubtedly gave the Minister of Revenue a reassurance. Everyone in the world knew that the Emperor would be particularly easy to talk to as long as it involved the Empress.

He quickly bowed to Lan Xiang.

"Thank you, Prime Minister. You saved my life."

After Lord Luo left, Father Lan looked at his father hesitantly.

"Father, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"After all, the Queen is the head of the harem. If she interferes in the affairs of the court..."

Lan Xiang glanced at his son, sighed and said:

"Why do you think the emperor said that today?"

"Your vision is still too narrow. You have no idea what the emperor is thinking."

"Why do you think the emperor has been planning for the past two years? Why have so many women come out in public?"

Father Lan was shocked when he heard this, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"You mean, the emperor wants women to..."

Lan Xiang nodded.

Lan's father found it extremely absurd. How could a woman enter and leave the court?

Lan Xiang glanced at his son and said:

"You need to be more open-minded."

"Hasn't the Queen already proved to us that women can do the same things men do?"
