All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

"That's not right, host. This is a cyclical world. You need to consider the future status of women!" The system took a day to react.

Lin Ruan died of laughter, "Hahahaha, I specifically found a great and glorious reason, I didn't expect you to actually believe it, hahahaha, it was so funny."

System: (??へ??╬)

However, the system still strictly followed the requirements put forward by Lin Ruan and meticulously screened the future prince consorts, but the results were not satisfactory - none of the people selected could satisfy Lin Ruan.

"Mini Program, you have to work harder!" Lin Ruan nonchalantly shouted slogans to cheer the system up, and didn't seem to take the matter to heart.

However, it was this casual "mini-program" remark that once again deeply irritated the system's sensitive "self-esteem." Thus, the enraged system decided to expand the selection scope to the entire Sheng Dynasty, encompassing the sons of officials from seventh rank to super rank. After much painstaking effort, it finally successfully selected over twenty qualified candidates, thoughtfully attaching detailed introductions and clear photos of each person's life.

Lin Ruan: …

Lin Ruan was concentrating on flipping through page after page of information in her mind. Suddenly, her eyes stopped at one page: Li Changchun, son of Li Guangren, the Huai-Zhe Xuanfu Shi. This name made her fall into deep thought.

At this moment, a short story about history came to mind. Lin Ruan's heart moved, and he quickly asked the system: "Has the Iwami Silver Mine been discovered in Japan now?"

According to her historical knowledge, Iwami Ginzan was discovered around the Jiajing period. However, because this world's history had taken a turn since the end of the Han Dynasty, diverging significantly from its original trajectory, she was unable to determine the exact period of the Sheng Dynasty.

Lin Ruan pondered secretly. Based on her rough guess about historical changes, she felt that the current Sheng Dynasty might have a certain degree of similarities with the Ming Dynasty, and might be around the early Ming Dynasty.

But this is just a guess.

"Ah?" The system was paused by this sudden question, and then a series of codes flashed by.

"Host, according to the intelligence we have, Japan has actually been aware of the existence of the silver mine you mentioned for decades. However, they only occasionally conduct small-scale excavations in the shallow layers and have not conducted comprehensive and in-depth mining."

"Here, I'd like to give you a small reminder: Please be sure to pay attention to the differences between the two worlds. The Iwami Silver Mine is located in Shimaeda Prefecture in the Iwami region of this world."

Lin Ruan suddenly became excited.

"That's him, Xiao Shiqi. Let's work hard together for our future father-in-law's official position!"

The system almost didn't react to who the future father-in-law Lin Ruan was talking about was.

"Host, please allow me to give you another friendly reminder: "No matter how high or low Li Guangren's official position is, he cannot change Li Changchun's current miserable situation." said the system.

Lin Ruan's lips curled up slightly as she softly replied, "That's not the point. I just suddenly realized that my future father-in-law is quite good, so I suddenly wanted him to get promoted."

However, the system didn't seem ready to let it go. It mercilessly poured cold water on Lin Ruan: "The future father-in-law you thought was a 'good' one is precisely the culprit that put Li Changchun in such a predicament. He curried favor with the powerful, even forcing his wife to death to curry favor with his current in-laws. Furthermore, he indulged his current wife, whose family background was powerful, allowing her to torture and abuse his stepson, Li Changchun, at will."

Lin Ruan asked back: "So?"

"Ah?" Lin Ruan's words were so righteous that the system began to doubt its own judgment. It stumbled and said, "So... so shouldn't you... help Li Changchun to vent his anger and take revenge? After all, you have feelings for him..." At the end of the speech, the system's voice was almost inaudible.

However, Lin Ruan was completely baffled by the system's explanation. She retorted, "That's his vengeance, not mine. If he's resentful, he'll naturally seek revenge. What does it have to do with me?" As if this wasn't enough to make her point clear, Lin Ruan added, "Besides, I just want to ensure he becomes my future consort."

System: "Huh?"

He felt that it had made "ah" sounds too many times today.

"If you don't help him, how do you expect him to agree to be your second consort?"

Lin Ruan showed a mysterious smile - the "Ulanara Yixiu smile" in her heart.

She said slowly, "What's the point of adding icing on the cake? It's easier to win people's hearts than to help them in times of need."

system:. . . . . .

Host, please, be normal.

What we are saying is, is there a possibility that, given Li Changchun's situation, no matter when you help him, it would be like providing timely assistance rather than just adding icing on the cake?

In the eyes of the system, Lin Ruan took a different approach and directly opened up another track - adding insult to injury and carving flowers on shit.

But the system didn't dare to say what it really thought, it quickly changed the subject: "So what are you going to do?" the system asked.

"It's simple. The Seong Dynasty hasn't closed the trade route with Japan. So we pick a Seong Dynasty native close to Daozhi County and have him stumble upon the silver mine. We also need to let him know that the silver mine has been mined for a hundred years and the shallow layers haven't been fully mined yet. Then, we have him obsessed with telling this to Li Guangren, the Huai-Zhe Xuanfu Shi (Propaganda and Peace Officer) since Li Guangren happens to be in charge of trade with Japan.

"Is that all?" the system asked in disbelief. It simply couldn't understand how such an easy feat could be accomplished. By comparison, sending Lin Ruan to the Northern Frontier had been a meticulous and calculated undertaking.

Now, he neither needs the secret help of the previous dynasty's forces nor the control of his own military forces, let alone a detailed and thoughtful plan and a complete and reliable backup plan.

It was so simple and crude that it didn't seem like the plan of someone as cunning as Lin Ruan.

"Xiao Shiqi, you are just too young. Haven't you ever heard of this?" Lin Ruan said with a smile.

The system asked: "What did you say?"

"Mold can grow in oil, and fungi can grow in silver mines."

The system doesn't know, doesn't she?

There is a lack of silver mines in the land under our feet!

"Host, speaking of this, besides helping your future father-in-law get promoted, what practical benefits will this matter bring to you?" The system has repeatedly calculated many times, but has never been able to find the key point where Lin Ruan will benefit from it. So it decided not to dwell on it anymore and asked Lin Ruan directly.

"Benefits? It can make me happy~ To be honest, I can't help but feel happy just thinking about it~"

The system sent Lin Ruan a vomiting expression, but Lin Ruan was in a good mood and didn't argue with it.

This kind of national hatred and family feud makes me feel uneasy, and only flower growers can understand it.
