The next morning, Qin Xingfu got up early and waited for someone to call her. It was almost ten o'clock when she saw the team coming.

Qin Xingfu felt that something was wrong. When people arrived, the monks shouted loudly at the gate.

"Your Majesty's decree!"

Qin Xingfu and the people passing by knelt down one after another, and the temple servant continued.

"Your Majesty orders that Princess Huiyuan, Qin Xingfu, who has great talent and quick thinking, be appointed as the right prime minister, commanding all officials and the cabinet. Now I grant her auspicious clothes..."

Qin Xingfu couldn't hear what the eunuch said. My God, although Li Si was pulled down, there was still Feng Quji. Why did she let him ride on the head of this old man? This was equivalent to roasting her on the fire. What would she do in the future? The First Emperor became the immediate superior. The pressure was not ordinary.

"My lord, my lord, obey my orders!"

Si Ren and Ling Juan were all urging her, they were all happy for her, and Yue Xin had already paid out of her own pocket to give red envelopes to the people present.

Qin Xingfu took the imperial edict and clothes, went into the house to change, asked Gao De to take out all the things she had sorted out in her room, and then went to court.

Along the way, everyone bowed and congratulated them.

"Congratulations, sir!"

Everyone looked at her with admiration, which made her feel embarrassed. The First Emperor was so ceremonial, which moved her deeply.

Qin Xingfu came to the court and kowtowed firmly.

"Your Majesty, I am Qin Xingfu. Long live the emperor."

Feng Quji looked unhappy. He thought that since Li Si had fallen, the real power of the prime minister would be his, but he didn't expect that he would be demoted instead, and the woman was above him. He was a little dissatisfied and almost couldn't help but resign on the spot and go home to retire.

"No need to be polite. From today on, you will lead all the officials. Today is your first day in office. What do you think are the shortcomings of the Qin Dynasty now?"

Qin Xingfu knew that this was because the First Emperor wanted to convince all officials and give her a chance to win over everyone.

"Then I dare to say that there are some deficiencies in my work, and I hope you can supplement them. Your Majesty, may I borrow the map for your use?"

The First Emperor nodded, and the eunuchs brought a map of the Qin Dynasty. Qin Xingfu stood in front of the map and began.

"Do you still remember the information His Majesty gave you before?"

Those who have been in the court for a long time know about it, and some still have collections at home, while the newcomers know it completely.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. I will start from the population, economy, culture, education, medical care, resources and other aspects. I will start with five years as a period. I won't talk too far ahead. I will first talk about the direction that Daqin should work towards in the next ten years."

Qin Xingfu nodded to the eunuch, and the more comprehensive and detailed "Five-Year Development Plan of the Great Qin Empire" was distributed to the people.

"Three or five people should read one book. The most important thing now is to listen to me first so that you can understand. First of all, there is the population problem. Now the high-yield grain can basically cover Daqin, but the current quantity is limited. By the end of this year, the output should double that of last year, so the population that can be fed will increase accordingly..."

Qin Xingfu pointed at the map as she spoke to make it easier for everyone to understand. In the past few months, Qin Xingfu had really not been idle for a moment. Xianyang City had gathered people from all over the place. During her communication with them, Qin Xingfu learned about various aspects of relevant information, and thus learned more about the Qin Dynasty. Now her thinking has become multi-dimensional and closer to reality.

"…The population is increasing, which stimulates economic growth. The economy is a complex issue, so I will try to keep it simple. I think the current monetary system and the way we treat merchants can be changed. We can replace the existing currency with a currency that is easy to circulate, so that it will be more convenient for merchants to trade…"

Some people wanted to refute, but they saw that the First Emperor was listening with great interest, and there were indeed many things that one could not keep up with if one was distracted. Everyone was listening very seriously, and what Qin Xingfu said was easy to understand, and the information was written in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

As Qin Xingfu spoke more, the people's contemptuous expressions gradually turned into seriousness. Under Qin Xingfu's explanation, they seemed to have seen a different world.

During this period, no one spoke, even some generals listened attentively. Although they didn't quite understand, they felt that what she said made sense. Sometimes Qin Xingfu would also give some examples to make it easier for them to understand.

Qin Xingfu spoke seriously, and everyone else listened attentively as well, until it got dark. The light was too dim, and Qin Xingfu felt uncomfortable and wanted to ask for the lights to be turned on, but when he thought that this was the imperial palace, he ended the speech with little interest.

"It's already dark, Your Majesty, Young Master, and all my colleagues, shall we continue tomorrow?"

She stopped suddenly because she was very hungry. Her stomach growled in response, and it was very loud in the quiet environment.

Most of what was said today had been heard by the First Emperor and Fusu, and they had already arranged the meals.

"Your Majesty is compassionate and has granted a banquet. Please come in, all the lords!"

Qile led the way, and everyone bowed to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qin Xingfu felt that she was going to faint if she didn't eat, so she quickly followed Qi Le to the dining area. She quickly ate two bites of bread and drank a sip of soup, and then she felt like she was alive again. The First Emperor and Fusu did not come, and the others were already starving, so they didn't care and just buried their heads in eating.

Feng Quji usually pays the most attention to his manners. Today he was really hungry, and the things that he usually found unpalatable now became very delicious.

Meng Yi and Wang Li were military generals, so they didn't care about so much. Seeing Qin Xingfu eating with big mouthfuls, their appetites improved. Wang Li saw that she had finished her food, so he gave her a chicken leg.

"Sir, can we practice the training method you mentioned earlier now? If we really have to wait five years, I can't wait any longer."

Qin Xingfu swallowed the meat in his mouth and said.

"Small-scale experiments are still possible, but large-scale training methods are not feasible. However, you are still thinking about this matter. If I am free in two months, we will organize two teams, 50 people in each team, and you and I will train them separately, and then we will have a competition in three months."

After saying that, she took the other chicken leg from his plate. Wang Li wanted to snatch it back, but he was almost full, so he let her have it.

Qin Xingfu said with a smile.

"Thanks!"

Qin Xingfu continued to eat. Everyone else had finished eating, but she was still eating. The military generals had seen people who could eat a lot in the army, but they had never seen anyone who ate as much as her. The civil officials looked at her in surprise. They had heard that Qin Xingfu had a big appetite, but they had never seen it with their own eyes. Now that they saw it, they found it unbelievable. Could her stomach really hold so much food?

"Hiccup~"

Qin Xingfu was contented with his meal. He burped, stood up and said.

"Your Majesty has given a good banquet today. Your Majesty is really kind. See you tomorrow, my colleagues! Go home early today, have a good rest, and continue tomorrow."

After bowing and saying goodbye, the others also said goodbye and went home when they saw it was getting dark. When they got home, they took out the books they had read before and read by lamplight at night. For a moment, they all admired what Qin Xingfu said. Although they admired him, it still depended on whether it could be realized.

As the saying goes, a new official starts with three things. Qin Xingfu got up early the next day and asked someone to bring a lot of things from home to the court.

"Sir, you didn't get much rest last night, and you got up so early today, take a rest first!"

Gao De was driving the carriage and saw a hint of blue in Qin Xingfu's eyes. Many people congratulated him on his promotion and were very envious. But he felt that his life would be even harder in the future. When he was the Internal History of Grain, he took everyone to the fields during the busy farming season. Now everyone has his own things to do, so who will help him in the future?

"Well, I'll take a nap. Call me when it's time."

Qin Xingfu had a sore throat, so she made a loudspeaker overnight after returning home last night. This way, everyone could hear clearly and she wouldn't have to strain her throat so much.

She didn't sleep much the previous night and was really sleepy. On the second day after taking office, she wanted to resign. In modern times, she would occasionally watch videos saying that people at work were very resentful. She didn't think so before, but now she really felt that work was really exhausting and her resentment level was rising.

The vehicle was moving and she wanted to sleep, but the car had poor sound insulation, so she had to close her eyes and rest. After all, there was still a tough battle to fight.

For a month in a row, Qin Xingfu had been holding meetings for all the officials. It was too tiring to stand, so he asked the First Emperor for a stool and a table. He spoke while recording everyone's suggestions. The First Emperor felt lonely sitting there, so he also sat down to discuss with them.

Therefore, the meeting changed from a one-sided explanation at the beginning to a large-scale conference discussion. There were not enough tables and chairs, so Fusu, Prince Gao, Jianglu and other princes were all invited to participate.

Xianyang City has been very busy in the past month. It started because of the emergence of a female prime minister, and now the hot topic is the new decrees issued every day. Moreover, the existing laws are no longer as strict as before, and many people have benefited from it.

There are also industries that have been affected, such as the dental clinic. People can no longer make a living there, so human trafficking is not allowed. Instead, an employment system is implemented with a unified contract template for three, five, or ten years. The employment period does not exceed twenty years. If the cooperation is unpleasant, the employment is allowed to be cancelled after negotiation. Although most people still don't understand and think it is just a formality, after one incident, people like this employment system very much.

"Sir, here are a few cases that need your review."

The subordinate presented a stack of papers, Qin Xingfu took it and took a quick look. It was a family slave who wanted to cancel the cooperation with the old master and find a way out for his descendants, but the master did not allow it, believing that the family slave was his personal property, and even if he died, he had to die in his family, and the descendants of the family slave were also theirs, so they could deal with them at will, even beating or killing them was not excessive.

After Qin Xingfu finished reading, she glanced around and found that Feng Quji was looking at him out of the corner of his eye. Then she nodded. She knew that Feng Quji was just starting to get angry. In comparison, this kind of person was the most annoying.

"I've received it. Bring the person here in three days. Inform the people in Xianyang City. Anyone who is free can come and listen."

She knows that there is a story behind every law, and the reason why she proposed many forward-looking laws was just to make people freer.

Looking at the case file in her hand, Qin Xingfu felt that he didn't need to come in person for this matter. She had been in contact with many young masters recently. She felt that Young Master Gao was quite good, studious, and liked to think, and treated people sincerely.

She thought so and did so. She got up and went next door to find Gongzi Gao.

"Master Qin, you are looking for me?"

Gongzi Gao was a little unsure. He and she didn't have much in common, so why did she come to find him?

"Greetings, sir. I've seen you have a lot of insights into the law recently. I'd like to let you preside over a case. Are you interested?"

Qin Xingfu handed the case file to Gongzi Gao. He is 21 years old this year and still at a passionate age. He really wants to make a career for himself to prove himself.

Gongzi Gao took the case file, took a look at it and said.

"This matter is neither big nor small, after all, it is related to the implementation of the new hairstyle."

It was immediately apparent, and Qin Xingfu felt that he could train him to develop in this direction.

"Yes, you can see at a glance that the implementation of any law is not smooth at the beginning. I am the advocate. If I were to judge, people would say that I am partial to my own interests and that I judge only for political achievements. But if you were to judge, the meaning would be different. You can also take this opportunity to become more familiar with the law and help Your Majesty."

Gongzi Gao's heart was pounding. Is that what she meant? He could let him enter his father's eyes. For a moment, he thought too much. He thought Qin Xingfu was only loyal to Fusu, but now it seems that it is not the case.

"Can I?"

He was a little uncertain, and Qin Xingfu nodded.

"Of course, you have three days to prepare. I will have people notify everyone in Xianyang City in the next few days. Then it will depend on your performance."

Gongzi Gao felt that this was an opportunity, so he held the case file tightly and nodded.

"Okay, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Qin Xingfu looked at him with a smile, nodded, and saluted, but not long after he walked, he was stopped by Jiang Lu.

"Master Qin, please stay."

Jiang Lu was in a hurry and bowed quickly, and Qin Xingfu returned the greeting.

"Son."

"Master Qin, I am usually quite relaxed. If you need my help, you can always ask me."

"No, no, what do you like to do normally?"

Now that the person has come to her, she can't refuse. Wang Li has arranged to have no suitable person to train with her.

"I……"

Jiang Lu didn't like reading. Just now he heard that Gongzi Gao was going to be in the limelight, and he also wanted to be in the limelight for a while. He also wanted his father to see him more.

Qin Xingfu heard something and said in pretended distress.

"General Wang Li insisted on competing with me in military training, but I am now entangled in trivial matters every day, and everyone around me has been assigned to work. If you can help me, I will be very grateful."

When Jiang Lu heard about the military training, his eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

"Of course. I like reading military books the most. I have studied all the military training methods you mentioned."

He was so happy. If he could defeat Wang Li, could he lead his troops to fight the Xiongnu? That would be much more impressive than Ying Gao.

"Thank you very much, sir. We can go to General Wang Li to discuss this matter tomorrow."

Jiang Lu nodded, very happy. He thought she was difficult to get along with, but he didn't expect that she could find trouble for him with just a few words. If he had known, he would not have listened to the rumors. Rumors can cause great harm to people.

"Okay, thank you sir."

Jianglu bowed sincerely.
