Female supremacy: The evil woman only wants to ascend the throne

When everyone heard the news, they all lowered their heads.

When the national treasury is full, disaster relief is a lucrative job that everyone is scrambling to do!

Once the disaster relief funds are distributed, officials of all ranks will exploit them at every level and make a living from them.

Less than one-third of the disaster relief funds are actually used for the victims.

In the end, a large number of victims will still starve to death, and the court’s money will only be spent to enrich corrupt officials.

This is the case when the treasury is full. What if the treasury is empty?

I'm afraid this is not a simple disaster relief issue!

"Why are you all silent? It seems like you guys are well-informed!

The national treasury is now empty, and only 300,000 taels can be allocated to Qingzhou for disaster relief.

Who among you is willing to go to Qingzhou to provide disaster relief?

If no one wants to go today, then don't leave!"

The empress gnashed her teeth in anger and slammed the table.

He threw the memorial to the ground and looked at everyone coldly.

She clenched her fists and turned to look at Wan Qingjiao.

Wan Qingjiao felt the empress's gaze and immediately lowered his head.

She really didn't want to take on the tough job of providing disaster relief in Qingzhou.

Three hundred thousand taels is too little money, there is absolutely no profit to be made.

While providing disaster relief, one also has to prevent the victims from rioting, which is very dangerous.

This is a dangerous and unprofitable job. No one is willing to work hard for nothing, so they can only hide away.

The empress looked at Wan Qingjiao, who seemed to be trying to avoid her.

He snorted coldly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

"Mother Queen, I am willing to go to Qingzhou to provide disaster relief. I hope you will grant my permission!"

Wan Qingyan stood up, bowed respectfully and said.

She also understood that this was a tough job, but also an opportunity!

Her goal is to become the future empress, so she can no longer remain dormant and must show her talents!

"Xiao Wu, disaster relief is a serious matter, you can't mess around.

The Queen Mother is very pleased with your desire to do things. If you can't do this well, please step down!"

The empress held her forehead and smiled helplessly. She didn't expect that Xiaowu would stand up.

My daughter has made some progress.

"Mother Queen, my daughter is not fooling around. Ever since my body started to change...

He listened to his mother's words from the bottom of his heart and studied hard.

I study hard in the hope that one day I can help my mother relieve her worries.

Today, I have this opportunity. I am willing to go to Qingzhou to do my work. I hope the Queen Mother will support me!"

Wan Qingyan saluted again, his words sincere and serious, his eyes firm and unwavering.

"Xiao Wu, the Queen Mother is pleased that you have this heart!

But you have no experience, and disaster relief is a matter of great importance. The Queen Mother cannot take any risks!"

The empress raised her eyebrows and smiled, with a hint of relief in her eyes.

She was very pleased with Xiaowu's initiative to volunteer.

"Queen Mother, please listen to your daughter before making a decision!"

Wan Qingyan raised his eyes and smiled, bowed respectfully, and spoke calmly.

The empress nodded, folded her arms across her chest, and became interested.

“First, the authenticity of the disaster reported by Qingzhou cannot be confirmed at this time.

Over the years, there have been corrupt officials who have embezzled disaster relief funds.

They describe small disasters as big ones, exaggerate the number of disaster victims to make money, and even report disasters when there are no disasters at all.

To know the exact extent of the disaster in Qingzhou, one must go there in person.

Second, assuming that the disaster in Qingzhou is serious and the national treasury is empty, it is impossible to provide enough disaster relief funds.

Then we can only go to the wealthy businessmen to raise money for disaster relief.

Third, regarding the issue of rising rice prices, if Qingzhou has no local grain reserves.

Instead, we have to continue to raise rice prices to attract grain merchants from surrounding provinces to sell grain.

By the time most grain merchants had arrived, supply would exceed demand.

Directly reduce the price and control the rice price to fall day by day.

The cost of a trip for these opportunistic grain traders is too high, so they can only sell off to protect their capital.

Fourth, when receiving disaster relief food, men and women take turns receiving it.

This can reduce the chance of men starving to death.

It can also quickly increase the population after a disaster.

Fifth, use work-for-relief, letting disaster victims work in exchange for food and money.

Start post-disaster reconstruction work, such as repairing houses, river embankments, and schools...

Queen Mother, these are the only general measures I can think of at the moment.

I will think carefully about some details and imperfections!

Of course, we still need to go to Qingzhou for an on-site inspection to see if the plan is feasible or not!"

Wan Qingyan bowed and said, he had talked a lot and his mouth was a little dry.

"Xiao Wu, you gave me a surprise. It seems you really have a brain, hahahaha!"

The empress slammed the table excitedly, her eyes shining, and she laughed out loud.

"Thank you for the praise, Queen Mother. My daughter has made some progress, all thanks to your teachings.

And Her Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, always teaches her daughter to study hard and share her mother's worries!"

Wan Qingyan said without changing his expression, looked up at the two of them and smiled.

She also did not forget to praise Wan Qingjiao to prevent her from causing trouble.

"Well, you two are great."

The empress glanced at Wan Qingjiao, nodded and smiled.

Wan Qingjiao forced a smile on his face and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.

She was surprised by Wan Qingyan's performance. Is this still her fifth sister?

How could a stupid person suddenly become smart and steal her limelight?

"What do the rest of you say? No one is stepping up?"

The empress looked at the people below and shouted loudly.

Everyone lowered their heads, avoiding the empress's inquiring gaze, and remained silent.

"Well, you are all doing well!"

The empress laughed sarcastically. She now realized the problem of administration.

"Xiao Wu, the Queen Mother has appointed you as the Imperial Envoy. You will depart for Qingzhou to provide disaster relief in two days!"

"Yes, my daughter will definitely live up to the Queen Mother's expectations!"

Wan Qingyan took on this job that no one else wanted.

After the empress gave the order, she immediately announced the end of the court session.

Wan Qingyan didn't leave on purpose, she wanted to find someone.

"Fifth sister, you have impressed me today. Why don't you leave and wait for me?"

Wan Qingjiao said sarcastically, with his hands behind his back and his head held high.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were cold.

"Your Highness, you are joking. I took on this task for your own good!

If it is done well, it will also be thanks to Your Highness's teaching.

If it doesn't work out, it's all my fault, not your Highness's!"

Wan Qingyan lowered his attitude and put on a flattering smile on his face.

"Okay, then I look forward to Fifth Sister's results. See you later!"

Wan Qingjiao said with a forced smile, disdain in his eyes almost overflowing.

Wan Qingyan looked at her departing back, clenched his fists, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

She would not bother with a dying person and would just retaliate double in the future.

Wan Qingyan walked out of the palace gate and a figure pounced on him.

"Fifth sister, you are so smart, you are both beautiful and intelligent!

How did you come up with so many ideas in such a short time? Teach me!"

Wan Qingyu hugged her arm and acted coquettishly, blinking her eyes cutely.

"What's so clever about that? It's all just talk, it hasn't even been put into practice yet!"

Wan Qingyan pinched her cheek and smiled softly.

There is always a gap between theory and practice.
