Female-to-male: I live on farming

On the other side, Qin Ke and Lu Youqing waited in the imperial study for a while before the eldest princess came back after the morning court session.

She was wearing the eldest princess's Luanfu, the main body of which was red brocade, with golden silk threads woven on it to form a phoenix pattern, which was lifelike and a symbol of power and glory.

The makeup was also a little different from before. The eyebrows were specially raised with black ink, making her look more majestic than before.

"See Your Highness."

I don’t know if it was because of her makeup and clothes today, or because it was such a solemn and dignified occasion.

When he saw the eldest princess again, Qin Ke always felt that she was more superior than before.

"No need to be so polite, just sit down." Jin Yang sat on the chair, looking a little tired.

Qin Ke looked at his wife and sat down obediently.

After a while, Princess Jinyang slowly raised her head, looked deeply at the two people in front of her, and began to get to the point: "The court has accumulated a lot of abuses over the years, and it is difficult to change. Evil officials are in power, and the aristocratic families monopolize power and resources. The lives of the lower-class people are miserable, and social contradictions are becoming increasingly acute. Corruption, heavy taxes, rigid political system, unfair selection of officials... All these need to be solved one by one."

The tone of her voice was so heavy that even Qin Ke felt a headache just by listening to it.

It can be said that what Emperor De left to the eldest princess was a mess. If it were not for the fact that Your Highness now has the Black Armor Army and the cannons of the Brave General, foreign invasions and insufficient military power would also be huge problems.

"Please give your orders, Your Highness. I am willing to serve you at your whim." Lu Youqing understood the elegant meaning of the music and stood up to recommend himself.

"After I hold the coronation ceremony and officially ascend the throne, I will grant amnesty to the people and reopen the imperial examination to select talents. I want you to preside over this imperial examination." Jinyang had made plans long ago.

Lu Youqing was rarely silent. She didn't expect that His Highness would give her such an important task right away.

If she wanted to preside over the imperial examinations, her official position would almost have to be the Minister of Rites, a third-rank official, which could be said to be a quick promotion to heaven.

"This time, I need to ensure that the imperial examination is absolutely fair. I can only feel at ease if I leave this matter to you."

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Lu Youqing knew that Jinyang now needed a knife, a knife that was handy and loyal, and could help her clean up the court and eliminate the treacherous villains.

She is the most suitable knife.

"After I ascend the throne, your appointment edict will be issued. As the only female civil servant in the court of Great Yan, you will definitely encounter many obstacles and difficulties. I will still assign a team to you. Under the law, I will allow you to act at your own discretion."

After finishing talking about Lu Youqing, Jinyang turned his gaze to Qin Ke, who had been silent.

"Please give your orders, Your Highness." Qin Ke stood up hurriedly.

"You have done a good job in promoting sweet potatoes and potatoes in Liangzhou and Yizhou. You need to promote those high-yield crops and farm tools throughout the country as soon as possible."

Only when all the people are well fed can we discuss other matters.

Qin Ke nodded, thinking that he was familiar with this matter and it was not difficult.

but……

Jin Yang saw that he was hesitant to speak, and took the initiative to say: "If you have any questions, just ask."

Qin Ke raised his fist to his lips and coughed shyly, then raised his eyes cautiously and asked, "Um, Your Highness, do I need to attend the morning court in the future?"

Lu Youqing on the side couldn't help but curl his eyebrows and laugh.

Her husband is so cute sometimes.

If Qin Ke knew what his wife thought of him at this moment, he would definitely argue: He is just an employee. When he was a social animal, he often went to work on time. Work is work, life is life, and the time he goes to work is related to his quality of life and happiness.

Jinyang also glanced at him speechlessly, and when he saw Lu Youqing's reaction, how could he not guess Qin Ke's little thoughts.

When she was in Liangzhou, she had let Qin Ke take charge of the Ministry of Industry. Jinyang had completely delegated power to him, and she did not deliberately pay attention to when Qin Ke would report to work or when he would rest. Qin Ke only had to report the results to her on time.

Qin Ke has never let Jin Yang down and would give her surprises from time to time.

Jinyang was also familiar with Qin Ke's personality. He was quite talented and a pragmatic person, but he was much slower in understanding the ins and outs of officialdom.

After thinking for a moment, Jin Yang said calmly: "Since you don't like it, then let's do it the same as in Liangzhou. I will order the people in the Ministry of Works to fully cooperate with you. You just need to report to me regularly."

Qin Ke then smiled, his voice much louder than before: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Jinyang was busy with official duties, so after making arrangements with the two of them, he let them leave first, allowing them to take advantage of the two days to rest and familiarize themselves with the environment of the capital.

The two of them did have a lot of things to do, but fortunately, Lihua and Han Qi were able to take on important responsibilities after years of training. They could handle all the trivial matters in the mansion themselves, without having to worry about Qin Ke and the others.

Qin Ke brought some of the craftsmen from Liangzhou to the capital, and he left managers in his food factories and shops. But now that he was in the capital, he had to have some industries.

Pei Xiu is still staying in Liangzhou to look after the factories built by Qin Ke.

Thinking of this, Qin Ke couldn't help but sigh, feeling that it was really pitiful for Pei Xiu to be left there all alone.

At this time, Pei Xiu, who had come all the way to Liangzhou and was checking the account books, suddenly sneezed.

Lu Youqing did not have as many things to arrange as Qin Ke, and it could be said that all the properties in the mansion were taken care of by Qin Ke.

But after returning home, Lu Youqing called Lei Zhong to his side.

"We have just arrived in the capital and are unfamiliar with this place. If we want to act in the city in the future, we need to establish our own intelligence system as soon as possible."

Lei Zhong had trained some of his own people when he was in Liangzhou, and was already familiar with such things.

Lei Zhong clasped his hands together and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will do it as soon as possible."

"If you need anything, just ask me, and you can get money from me."

"Yes, my lord."

"Besides," Lu Youqing paused, slightly lowered her long and thick eyelashes to hide the emotions in her eyes, and her jade-like fingers gently tapped the heavy table top.

Lei Zhong lowered his head silently and waited for her instructions.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Youqing slowly said, "Go check a few people's information for me first. Be careful not to attract other people's attention."

"My dear husband..."

"It's okay. If he asks you, answer truthfully. If he doesn't ask me, I will tell him."

"I obey your orders. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."

Lu Youqing waved his hand gently, Lei Zhong bowed slightly, then quietly retreated and closed the door.

The study room suddenly fell into silence, as if time had stopped. The silence was so depressing that it made people feel a little depressed.

After many years, everything has changed.
