The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

The fish scale book is actually an ancient land registration book. It has maps, land numbers, and the size of each piece of land, and the records are very standard.

Yu Ruyue took it, looked at it, and put it in her hand, with no intention of giving it to Manager Yang.

Manager Yang had a smile on his face the whole time, thinking to himself that he must curry favor with this important figure from the palace.

Ever since he knew that his master had been promoted from a marquis to the emperor, he had been holding his head high and walking with a dizzy look on his face. He was extremely proud and told everyone that he was the emperor's confidant. However, the managers of several nearby farms mocked him behind his back, saying that he had not even met the emperor many times but claimed to be the emperor's confidant, which made him lose face.

Ever since he received the news that someone from the palace would come, he had been preparing early, wanting to take this opportunity to let the emperor know his abilities, achieve a class leap, and perhaps even enter the palace and get an official position.

"Spring planting is almost here. Has the nursery ground been prepared?"

Manager Yang was a little confused when he heard this, "What!? A nursery plot!?"

Yu Ruyue nodded. "Your land here is close to a water source, so isn't rice mostly grown there? Spring planting is almost here! Don't you have any seedlings to grow?"

The Grand Minister of Agriculture was a little angry when he saw the steward's stunned look. "Are you going to grow the seedlings or not? Could it be that you, the steward, are just slacking off here every day and don't know anything?"

"I'm telling you, Madam is here to teach us about farming. You'll have to cooperate with Madam honestly, or else if word gets to His Majesty, you'll be in big trouble."

The Grand Minister of Agriculture's words were quite sarcastic!

Manager Yang came to his senses instantly and said quickly, "Your Excellency! The nursery ground has been leveled. We can germinate the seeds and plant them in the ground to start the seedlings. It's just that we haven't received the seeds for this year yet, so we haven't germinated them yet."

Yu Ruyue nodded, "Okay! Find two good farmers to help with the seedlings. I've brought the seeds!"

Steward Yang was still a little confused. He looked at the Grand Minister of Agriculture beside him and asked, "Sir, what is this?!"

The Minister of Agriculture became increasingly impatient. "You just do what the Madam tells you to do. Why are you looking at me? Is there something wrong with my face?"

"Madam is here to teach everyone how to farm. Hurry and call them over!"

Manager Yang was completely stunned. This beautiful young woman actually came here to teach them how to farm!?

He has been farming for so many years, doesn't he know how to farm? As for asking a little girl to come and teach him?

And how could a woman be allowed to touch something like germination? Women are filthy and know nothing. If they touch those sprouting seeds, this year's harvest will not be good.

Besides, isn't this woman a noble lady from the palace? Why would a noble lady want to discuss farming? Isn't she here to check accounts or have fun?

Manager Yang was full of doubts, and the look he gave Yu Ruyue was no longer as respectful as it was at the beginning.

"Madam! We've been farmers for decades. We can handle farming with our eyes closed. Please don't bother me. Could you please give me the seeds? We'll germinate and grow them naturally."

"Also~ Let me tell you something, don't be angry, since ancient times, has any woman touched these seeds!? It will affect the year's harvest."

"I'm doing this for your own good!"

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Agriculture also echoed: "Why don't you take out the seeds? You don't trust these people, so how can you not trust me? You are of such a noble status, how could you do such a thing?"

Yu Ruyue knew that the Grand Minister of Agriculture had been extremely contemptuous of her from the very beginning, thinking that she was just pretending and that her behavior wasted his time. She had been very sarcastic and veiled all along the way.

The manager was the same. When he heard that she was here to farm, he stopped pretending and started saying that women would affect the harvest!

It seems that nowadays, these people’s prejudice against women has not only not decreased, but has become more and more serious!

No wonder Shen Chou couldn't push forward the idea of men and women serving as officials in the same court. He was afraid that even if he killed all the officials in the court, this thing would not be accomplished.

Because those prejudices about women are deeply rooted in their minds.

In that case, let her be the first one to break it!

"Just go if this lady asks you to, don't talk nonsense!"

Although Manager Yang was dissatisfied with being scolded, he still went downstairs to find someone obediently. After the person left, Yu Ruyue glared at the Minister of Agriculture with a cold look.

"And you, His Majesty asked you to come here to assist me, not to be sarcastic and try to stop me. As I said, if you are willing to do it, then do it. If you are not willing, there are plenty of people who can take your place."

The Grand Minister of Agriculture was nearly 50 years old. He had served in this position for more than ten years, which made him a veteran of three dynasties. No woman had ever dared to speak to him like this.

And she was a woman disliked by the emperor, which was simply ridiculous.

He immediately shook his sleeves and said, "I am not feeling well and cannot play with my wife. Goodbye!"

"As for what happens next, I will send a Junior Minister of Agriculture to assist Madam."

"As for His Majesty, I will speak for myself. Madam, there is no need to gossip behind my back!"

Liang Shulan and those people in the dark all wanted to come out and beat up the Minister of Agriculture.

But Yu Ruyue stopped him, "Alright! Please ask the Grand Minister of Agriculture to send the Junior Minister of Agriculture as soon as possible, so as not to delay the seedling cultivation!"

The Minister of Agriculture snorted twice and left!

After everyone left, Liang Shulan angrily said, "That damn old guy! Why didn't you let me go up and beat him up?"

Yu Ruyue smiled and soothed him, "He genuinely looks down on us women and never considered that I actually have a potential heir. Forcing him to stay here will only cause trouble and might even leak information. It would be better for him to return quickly and send a Junior Minister of Agriculture over. We can train him well and then replace this old man!"

After Yu Ruyue finished speaking, she also said to the void: "You are not allowed to go back and report the news. Don't let him worry!"

Of course the person in the dark would not listen, and even reported this back.

Shen Chou clenched the brush in his hand and laughed out loud, "This old fellow, does he really think that I can't touch a veteran of three dynasties?!"

Liuguang quickly advised, "Your Majesty, please listen to the Empress! The Empress knows what's going on!"

When Yu Ruyue was mentioned, his eyes were filled with tenderness. How could his little elf be so good?!

She really loves herself the most!

On Yu Ruyue's side, she finally met those good farmers. Manager Yang looked down on Yu Ruyue, so he brought them here and left with an excuse!

Yu Ruyue took out the seeds, and when those people saw the plump seeds, their eyes lit up instantly.

"Where do these seeds come from? We've been farming for so many years, but we've never seen such plump seeds."
