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

"Master Tian, ​​please lead the way!"

Wan Qingyan smiled softly with her eyes curved. She had a very good attitude towards officials like Tian Lin who actually did their work.

"Your Highness, could you please wait for me for a moment? Let me change my clothes and shoes!"

I saw you coming from a distance, and in order not to offend Your Highness, I changed into clean clothes. However, it is still too inconvenient to wear a long robe when I really want to do the work.

Your Highness, if you don't mind, you can stand on the shore and inspect. Don't get your clothes dirty!"

Tian Lin scratched his head awkwardly, waiting for Wan Qingyan's answer.

He no longer likes to wear long robes, but prefers to wear coarse linen shirts, which makes it more convenient for him to work.

After hearing his words, Wan Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"Master Tian, ​​please do as you please! You don't need to ask for my opinion on matters like this in the future. There's no need to worry about these formalities between you and me!"

Wan Qingyan smiled at Tian Lin and gestured for him to go ahead.

Tian Lin took off his outer robe, revealing a short-sleeved linen shirt covered with mud spots.

Seeing this, Wan Qingyan's pupils trembled slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Her favorability towards Tian Lin increased again.

"Your Highness, please follow me!"

Tian Lin took off his shoes, walked barefoot in the wet mud, and led Wan Qingyan to inspect the progress of the river embankment construction.

"Your Highness, you can stand on the shore to avoid getting your clothes and shoes dirty!"

Tian Lin tried to persuade him, not wanting Wan Qingyan to dirty his clean and valuable clothes and shoes.

"No, I'm not that delicate!"

Wan Qingyan smiled and shook his head, then took off his shoes and socks and walked barefoot on the muddy ground.

Tian Lin was somewhat surprised by Wan Qingyan's behavior, and he couldn't help but feel more favorable towards him.

The two of them walked quickly towards the construction area, one in front and one behind.

Wan Qingyan took a look and saw some of the victims working hard to dig out the silt and dredge the river.

Some of the victims were busy digging and diverting water near the water on both sides of the river.

Some sharp-eyed victims saw Wan Qingyan coming and immediately saluted and shouted.

"I, your Highness, respectfully greet you!"

Someone took the lead, and the rest of the victims also came in large numbers to pay their respects.

They seemed to be competing to see who could greet each other louder, and the sound became louder and louder, causing Wan Qingyan's eardrums to hurt.

"Hello, hello..."

In such a situation, Wan Qingyan couldn't get angry or show his displeasure. He could only force a smile and wave to the victims to say hello.

"Stop arguing and get back to work!"

Tian Lin shouted loudly, asking the victims to return to their original positions and continue working.

When the victims saw Tian Lin speak, they shut up and continued working.

"Your Highness, the current progress of the river embankment repair is normal, and there are no abnormal situations!"

Tian Lin reported concisely without a word of official nonsense. Although she was talking to Wan Qingyan, her eyes kept drifting towards the river bank to watch the victims working.

"You can't keep bending over to move it. Bend your knees first, then bend over, or your waist will break..."

When Tian Lin saw that someone was moving things in the wrong posture, he immediately rushed over to correct him and helped him move the things properly.

Wan Qingyan stood aside and watched silently, with a slight smile on her lips. She didn't think that Tian Lin was putting on a show at all.

People like Tian Lin disdain to put on a show. If she was willing to put on a political show and flatter others, she would not have ended up being dismissed from office and forced to stay at home!

"Master Tian, ​​you've done a great job repairing the river embankment. I'm very satisfied! But I need you to speed up the repair and restore agricultural production!"

Wan Qingyan didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

"Your Highness, if you want to speed up the construction, then we can only increase the money and manpower! If we have enough money and manpower, the construction speed will definitely be greatly accelerated!"

Tian Lin thought for a moment and gave an answer. She was now full of confidence.

"Okay, both of these are no problem, I'll arrange them for you as soon as possible!"

Wan Qingyan readily agreed to the request and patted Tian Lin's shoulder with a smile.

Then the two continued to walk forward, and Tian Lin carefully introduced to Wan Qingyan the pros and cons of several ways of repairing the river embankment.

Wan Qingyan listened with great interest and learned a lot.

When the two were chatting happily, Wan Qingyan suddenly found that several disaster victims were secretly observing her.

When she turned her head to look over, she saw that the victims were pretending nothing had happened and were busy working.

She was keenly aware that these people were not simple.

"Master Tian, ​​don't you have a supervisor here? Do you supervise everything yourself?"

Wan Qingyan walked around for a long time but didn't see any sign of the supervisor. He frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Your Highness, I haven't appointed an overseer, I can supervise it all by myself.

The supervisors don't do any work, what a waste of money! We'd be better off hiring a few more disaster victims to do the work and make the most of it!"

Tian Lin believes that supervisors are useless and will only oppress the victims and not work, so there is no need to set them up.

"Master Tian, ​​how are you going to pay the victims?"

Wan Qingyan frowned and continued to ask. In her opinion, a person's energy is limited and it is impossible to take care of everything.

Tian Lin would definitely be overwhelmed if he had to supervise so many people alone, and there would inevitably be omissions.

If we encounter someone with bad intentions who takes advantage of the loopholes and sabotages the river embankment project, we will be in big trouble.

“In reply to Your Highness, I unified the wages and then gave it to the foreman to forward.

The foremen are all elected spontaneously by the victims, and we can connect with the people, which will also help me improve my work efficiency!"

Tian Lin blurted out without thinking. In her opinion, this approach was completely fine.

She not only improved efficiency, but also enabled the victims to get their wages quickly, killing two birds with one stone.

If she really had to pay everyone one by one, the efficiency would be too slow.

When Wan Qingyan heard this, he held his forehead with his hands, smiled bitterly, and sighed deeply, unable to help but sigh that no one is perfect.

"Master Tian, ​​you did two things wrong! First, you shouldn't have failed to appoint a supervisor. You are a human, not a god. Your energy is limited and you can't supervise everyone!

Second, you shouldn’t give the wages to the foremen. It may seem to improve efficiency, but it is actually sowing the seeds of trouble!

How can you be sure that the foremen were truly elected by the victims? And can you guarantee that the foremen will pay the victims a full cent of their wages?

Mr. Tian, ​​starting tomorrow I will send someone to supervise and pay wages!

You will be responsible for monitoring progress and overall planning from now on, what do you think?"

Wan Qingyan pointed out Tian Lin's mistake directly in a serious tone.

Tian Lin lowered her head and remained silent. She was thinking about Wan Qingyan's words and fell into self-doubt.

"Master Tian, ​​I highly recognize your work ability, but no one is perfect and there are always times when we fail to consider things carefully. Don't overthink it!"

Wan Qingyan reached out and patted Tian Lin on the shoulder, patiently comforting him.

"Your Highness, I did not consider these two matters properly. Thank you for your correction!"

Tian Lin quickly realized his mistake and admitted it, and secretly made up his mind never to make the same mistake again.

Wan Qingyan smiled and nodded without saying any polite words.

The two continued to check the progress of the river embankment, and everything went smoothly afterwards.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wan Qingyan said goodbye to Tian Lin, got on her horse and rushed back to the yamen. This time she took a shortcut through a small road.

As expected, there were prying eyes following Wan Qingyan all the way.
