Everything happened just as Yao Chuguang had expected. Commander Wu fought with the allied forces of King Rui and King Kang outside the city.

In terms of military strength, King Rui has 70,000 troops and King Kang has 50,000, which together total 120,000. They have a great chance of winning against the 100,000 imperial guards led by Commander Wu.

But the alliance between King Rui and King Kang was not fundamentally solid, as both of them had their own little thoughts.

No one was willing to give their all, fearing heavy casualties and ultimately being taken advantage of by the other side.

Although Commander Wu was not as strong as the alliance of King Rui and King Kang in terms of military strength, all his tactical arrangements were carried out smoothly.

The entire army is united as one. Although Commander Wu lacks courage, he is not a fool after all and has the ability to lead troops in battle.

In the end, the three forces fought back and forth, and a balance was reached for a while.

Compared to the soldiers fighting bloody battles outside the city, the palace inside the city was also bleeding.

Yao Chuguang had the hall classified by position, starting with the Ministry of Revenue, where all officials, regardless of their rank, were assigned jobs.

Either they are sorting out financial revenue and expenditure and budgets, or they are calculating taxes and other matters.

Yao Chuguang was a working social animal in his previous life, so he naturally knew that if unified standards were used for some jobs, the efficiency could be doubled instantly.

But what she has to do now is not to consider efficiency but to screen talents.

Who would dare to believe that an official from the Ministry of Revenue couldn't even calculate multiplication and division within ten?

When encountering such a workplace scoundrel, Yao Chuguang had only one thing to do, which was to check whether the official Lin Wan was corrupt, abused his power, or was disregarding human life.

Lin Wan sat in front of a small table, holding a small knife, carving carefully while answering Yao Chuguang.

Many times, Lin Wan didn't even need to look up to easily tell the names of these officials, their ancestral homes, and who recommended them to become officials. He could tell all this information one by one.

Yao Chuguang made a direct classification. Those who took human lives lightly were taken to the execution ground and handed over to Yu Zhijian, while those who were corrupt and abused their power were handed over to General Park to have their property confiscated.

If they have neither of these two qualities and are simply incompetent, just fire them immediately.

But there were very few such people, and even those whose houses were confiscated were rarely found. Most of them were dragged to the execution ground for Yu Zhijian to see.

The Emperor of Qi looked at the dwindling number of ministers and actually began to persuade Yao Chuguang: "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If all the court officials are killed, who will manage your government affairs?"

When the ministers heard this, their eyes instantly filled with tears. They had never thought that being an official was so dangerous.

In the past, danger only came from offending important figures or standing on the wrong side in a party struggle.

Now it is dangerous if you don't do your job well. In the past, these trivial matters were left to the servants under you to handle, and there was no need for them to do them.

All they have to do is to engage in intrigues with their colleagues.

The Emperor of Qi continued, "The court needs people to do these things. They just need to manage the people under them. If you do everything yourself, you will be exhausted."

After hearing this, the ministers almost nodded in agreement.

Yao Chuguang: "I once heard a gentleman say that this world is just a huge makeshift team, and most people are ridiculously incompetent."

Then Yao Chuguang found a few accountants in restaurants and pawnshops in the imperial capital and gave them some simple training on how to calculate these taxes.

These shopkeepers have been dealing with account books all their lives, so they naturally got the hang of it quickly.

Not to mention that after replacing several accountants, the work efficiency of the Ministry of Revenue instantly increased.

Yao Chuguang proved with facts that she can do it!

No matter what it is, it can be arranged in an orderly manner here by Yao Chuguang.

The most exaggerated is the Ministry of Personnel, which knows the life and political achievements of all officials in the court like the back of their hand.

But the most despairing thing is that in the past, if any decree was issued that affected the interests of the aristocratic families, there would be a strike and no one would work.

Generally, at this time, emperors of all dynasties would choose to take a step back and then make long-term plans.

This trick always works. Although the leader may be beheaded if not done properly, it is very effective.

It's a waste of time to go against Yao Chuguang now. If you dare to go on strike, I will find someone to replace you.

When you are no longer irreplaceable, it is all in vain to make a fuss.

Because shaking the first light really works.

When the assessment came to the Ministry of Industry, the officials who had been trembling with fear, fearing that they would be the next to be eliminated, suddenly became nervous.

Although they didn't dare to stop their work, they all pricked up their ears and paid attention.

It turns out that gossip is human nature.

Everyone is curious about how the Wang family will end up.
