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

A young official stood up. She had a pretty face. She was Jiang Min, a newcomer who had just entered the officialdom and was now the new editor of the Ministry of Revenue!

Jiang Min opened her red lips and described the various difficulties the Ministry of Revenue was currently facing. However, perhaps because of nervousness or lack of experience, she was unable to touch upon the truly critical core points and only focused on the accounts!

Wan Qingyan, who was sitting on a high seat, frowned slightly. She stared at the woman who stood bravely in front of her, and a trace of admiration welled up in her heart.

It was already a rare achievement for Jiang Min to have the courage to stand up in such a serious situation, so Wan Qingyan decided to give her another chance to add to her answer. He said loudly, "Sir Jiang, besides the account issue, I believe you have anything else you want to say?"

Wan Qingyan revealed his expectations and encouragement for Jiang Min in his words!

"Your Highness, I am truly stupid and have nothing to add!"

"Your Highness, I am truly stupid. I have racked my brains but cannot think of anything more to add!"

Jiang Min lowered her head, her voice revealing a hint of helplessness. She naturally heard the hidden meaning in Wan Qingyan's words, but some issues were too sensitive and could backfire if touched upon, so she decided to stop there!

In this treacherous officialdom, one can fall into an irretrievable situation if one is not careful, so it is best to act with caution!

Jiang Min stopped talking, and the room instantly fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other and remained silent. They didn't want to stand out and just wanted to protect themselves. But if they remained silent, they were afraid of angering Wan Qingyan and losing their official positions. For a moment, they were on pins and needles, secretly complaining in their hearts!

Seeing this, Wan Qingyan's face grew even darker. Her sharp gaze swept across everyone present, and she said coldly, "What about the rest of you? Don't you have anything to say? Could it be that Lord Jiang is the only one who can think of this, and you are all so clueless?"

If that's the case, then you don't need to wear your official hats anymore. Resign as soon as possible and go home to farm. I can't tolerate those mediocre people who just sit there and do nothing!"

At the end of her words, anger flashed in Wan Qingyan's eyes. She suddenly raised her hand and slammed it heavily on the table. There was a loud "bang". Everyone present was frightened by the sudden noise and their bodies trembled involuntarily!

"Your Highness, in my humble opinion, the most urgent task is to resolve the serious problem of the Ministry of Revenue's deficit. Currently, a large amount of the Ministry's silver has been borrowed by others, and those borrowers are reluctant to repay the debt.

If this continues, the deficit will only get worse, like a snowball. If we can successfully recover the borrowed money, the current situation will definitely be greatly improved!"

A person stood up. Her name was Shen Que, and she was the new Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. What she said hit the nail on the head. Although she didn't explicitly say that those people borrowed money and didn't pay it back, it was pretty good that she could say this!

Wan Qingyan was about to praise Shen Que when Jiang Min spoke again, "Your Highness, I also believe that this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. Although Lord Shen did not specify who had borrowed money but failed to repay it, I believe Your Highness has already understood it. Judging from the current situation, if effective measures are not taken, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Jiang Min looked at Shen Que in front of her with a look of confidence, and her heart tightened, and a surge of courage surged up. Since Shen Que had already said it so bluntly, she made it clear again to make Wan Qingyan have a deeper impression of her!

Before Jiang finished speaking, Shen Que beside her suddenly turned around, glanced at her coldly, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer!

Although Shen Que's voice was not loud, Jiang Min heard it keenly. This disdainful chuckle pierced her heart directly!

Wan Qingyan listened quietly to the two people's words and did not respond immediately. Her sharp eyes were like two lightning bolts, taking in the subtle changes in their expressions and their interactions with each other.

After just a brief observation, Wan Qingyan had already realized that there was an obvious contradiction and discord between the two!

"What you said is quite good, but it's not so easy to get this money back. Is there anyone here willing to volunteer to take charge of this matter?"

Wan Qingyan posed another difficult question. In fact, she had already understood it in her heart and had no intention of entrusting this difficult matter to her subordinates. This debt collection had to be done by her personally, otherwise, it would be difficult to recover a single cent!

When everyone heard Wan Qingyan's words, they suddenly fell silent. You know, debt collection is a tough job. Not only is it laborious and time-consuming, but it is also very likely to end up in a thankless situation. It is purely a job that offends people!

What's more, most of those who borrowed money were royal relatives. How could they have the courage to collect the debt from them?

At this time, Jiang Min and Shen Que couldn't help but look at each other. This problem was first raised by them. If they just talked about it without actually solving it, I'm afraid Wan Qingyan would never let it go!

"Your Highness, I am willing to go!"

Shen Que and Jiang Min answered almost at the same time. They looked at each other at the same time, then quickly looked away as if they had been electrocuted. They turned their heads away, with an expression of disgust on their faces!

"Since you've volunteered so actively, then follow me and handle this matter. You know, if I don't take action to collect the debts, I'm afraid you won't even be able to set foot in the homes of those borrowers!"

Wan Qingyan narrowed her eyes slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and spoke slowly. She was quite satisfied with Jiang Min and Shen Que's performance just now!

Although Wan Qingyan knew that they all had their own ulterior motives, she did not care about these intrigues at the moment. What she needed most urgently was someone who could really get things done!

Hearing that Wan Qingyan would personally lead them to collect the debt, Jiang Min and Shen Que were stunned at first, and then responded in unison: "Yes, Your Highness!"

The huge rock that had been hanging over their hearts finally fell down steadily at this moment, making Shen Que and Jiang Min feel relieved. After all, Wan Qingyan was personally in charge of the command. Even if this matter could not be accomplished, it had nothing to do with them and the responsibility was not theirs!

When the others saw how things turned out, they also started to become curious. They realized that Wan Qingyan might take Jiang Min and Shen Que under his wing!
