Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

[What does the head of the Ministry of Revenue do? The head of the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of money, but I am not an accountant. ]

[The most important thing is that I haven’t even learned all the characters yet. ]

[No, why did the emperor appoint a woman like me as an official? ]

【and…………】

Xu Jinyu quickly looked around the court.

[Shouldn't these men object to women becoming officials? ]

[What about the chicken crowing at dawn, what about women staying at home, what about women being short-sighted…]

[No matter how ugly it sounds, it will only be grand if a few more imperial censors die to show their loyalty! ]

Zi Shuyan pinched his palms to prevent himself from laughing.

He knew that it was not because Xu Jinyu was confused, but because Xu Jinyu's acting addiction had come back again.

Emperor Xuan: “………”?

You are allowed to be an official and yet you make mistakes!

In order to not make things difficult for Emperor Xuan, the people from the Censorate stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu has obtained this unique seed, which is a great contribution to future generations. We are convinced that Lord Xu is an official."

The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War: "Your Majesty employs people regardless of their status. I admire you."

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said: "Your Majesty, Lord Xu was able to obtain new grain seeds. He may be able to obtain more good things in the future. It is just right to keep them in our Ministry of Revenue."

.........

[Oh~~ I see. These old stubborn people don’t object to my becoming an official because they hope I can come up with something new.]

[I told you, officials are all old foxes.]

[Then I became the head of the Ministry of Revenue, the first female official in the world.]

【Ah ha ha ha ha! 】

Don't laugh too arrogantly.

Emperor Xuan and all the officials took a deep breath.

I will endure!

Also, your position as an official is not important. What’s important is how Daqian was destroyed. Tell me about it!

Emperor Xuan couldn't tell anyone about his current mood.

He was doing fine when he suddenly heard that his kingdom was over, but the person who knew the answer refused to tell him, so he couldn't force him.

Emperor Xuan sat on the dragon throne and began to count his luck, for he was afraid that he would be angry to death.

"Sir Xu, please stand at the back. The morning court hasn't ended yet!" a smart official reminded Xu Jinyu.

Xu Jinyu confusedly bowed to the adult who reminded her.

"Thank you, sir. I wonder who you are..."

"I am Zuo Yuanying, the Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate."

"Hello, Mr. Zuo."

Xu Jinyu looked at the young censor in front of him and sighed in his heart,

[What a tough guy! A few years later, when the capital of Daqian was under siege, this Lord Zuo managed to drive away half of the besiegers with just his mouth. Otherwise, the people in the capital would have suffered a much worse fate.]

What! The capital will be besieged in a few years.

Emperor Xuan was shocked again.

The present Daqian is peaceful and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a prosperous era. How come it was besieged in just a few years?

What on earth did the Third Prince do to make him so hated?

[What a pity! Zuo Yuanying would rather die than surrender to the Prince of Lu, so he was killed by the Prince of Lu.]

Zuo Yuanying looked at Lord Xu with tears in her eyes. She was told to die just because she had kindly reminded her.

But this way of dying seemed not bad. Didn’t he notice that the officials around him were looking at him with admiration?

His immediate superior, Zuodu Yushi, even patted him on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job. You didn't bring down the prestige of our Censorate."

Zuo Yuanying: "???"

Although I know I only have a few years to live, I am very happy.

You have to know that I have been scolded countless times by my superiors because of my stubborn temper and inflexibility.

Everyone was very impressed by the way Zuo Yuanying died. Scholars say that one would rather die than lose his integrity, but how many people can actually do that?

But the focus now is how the Daqian ended.

The eyes of all the officials and the emperor drifted towards Xu Jinyu implicitly, waiting for Xu Jinyu to speak.

Then, under the gazes of many people, Xu Jinyu stood upright, leaned against a pillar and fell asleep.

He actually fell asleep while standing!

Don’t ask, the answer is basic skills for students.

A teacher's vision has been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations, and those who can sleep under the teacher's eyes are all technical people.

Under so many anxious eyes, Xu Jinyu slept well and even snored.

There was no other way. I had just traveled a long distance to the capital, and was woken up to attend court after only a few hours of sleep. If I wasn’t sleepy, I wouldn’t be a human being.

Seeing Xu Jinyu sleeping soundly,

Emperor Xuan and his officials had to discuss the distribution of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

There is a problem with this allocation.

How can the sweet potatoes and potatoes grown in one county be enough to be distributed nationwide?

Minister of Revenue: "The temperature in the south of the Yangtze River is suitable, and it is a land of fish and rice, so there is no need for distribution."

This person's ancestral home is in the north.

Minister of Rites: "Jiangnan is a land of plenty, but there are still hungry people. We can distribute less, but not at all."

This person is from Jiangnan.

The voice of the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War was particularly rough. "Our Beilang Pass is a frontier area, and the food shortage is the most serious. We should give us Beilang Pass more."

"no!"

The six ministers of state all objected.

Xu Jinyu was awakened with a start.

When I woke up, I heard someone giving an impassioned speech.

"Beilangguan is invaded by wolf riders every year. If these seeds flow to the grassland, it will be a big problem."

"You can plant them somewhere else and then transport them to Beilang Pass."

That makes sense, Xu Jinyu nodded.

A rough voice refuted bluntly, "You are talking nonsense. Every year, there is not enough food at the border."

"Besides, if we transport the seeds there, they will still flow out anyway, so it's better to plant them openly."

"As long as our soldiers can have enough food, Beilang Pass will be safe."

"Hey, who's talking?"

Xu Jinyu patted the officials around him.

The official was startled by Xu Jinyu's slap. He turned around and stole a glance at Xu Jinyu and said quickly, "That is the Minister of War, Mr. Jiang Hai. He was born as a commander of Beilang Pass and later became the Minister of War. He cares about the soldiers of Beilang Pass the most."

After the official finished speaking, he immediately turned his head away, fearing that he would be seen.

Xu Jinyu muttered in confusion, "What are we afraid of? With so many officials attending court together, how could the emperor pay attention to small fry like us?"

After the official finished talking to Xu Jinyu, he turned around and tears of sadness flowed from his eyes.

Your Majesty will not care about a small fry like me, but he will care about a small fry like you.

If you stand with me, I will definitely be noticed.

From now on, you must be extremely alert when attending court, and you cannot be distracted at all.

When the officials in front heard Xu Jinyu's voice, their reaction was,

Yo! I'm awake.

Lord Xu was the first one who slept in the court and nothing happened.

But the fight will continue.

"There are many spies in Beilang Pass. We still cannot let the people in Beilang Pass grow sweet potatoes!"

"Why should we, the people of Beilang Pass, starve?"

"No reason, it's just that Beilang Pass is located at a strategic point, it's the gate between the Central Plains and the North. If this gate is opened, the wolf riders from the North can march straight in."

...............

[What are you arguing about? As long as you are awesome enough, the people of the North will be good neighbors who are good at singing and dancing.]

[In the end, you guys are just not awesome enough! ]

Emperor Xuan: “!!!”

Officials: "!!!"

Why does Xu Jinyu speak so harshly?

The wolf riders in the north have been a problem since ancient times, and no country or dynasty has been able to solve it successfully.

Even if the problem can be solved, it will only be a temporary one. As long as the Central Plains shows a slight sign of decline, the wolf riders from the north will be able to make a comeback.

[It would be great if there were a spray gun in the cheat code. With 10,000 people, they would definitely be able to beat the Northern Wolf Riders to tears.]

Emperor Xuan's heart was lifted up in an instant.

What is a troll? It's so powerful.

Emperor Xuan looked at the prince.

Zi Shuyan also shook his head slightly. He had never heard Xu Jinyu say what a troll was.
