After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Zhong Ning turned to Fang Ping, his eyes tinged with sympathy, "To be precise, it was the peasant girl who saved your life..."

"You mean, Lu Xiaowan?" Fang Ping knew this woman. When he was riding a fast horse to rush to Zhenguo Temple to pass the message to Zhong Ning, he accidentally fell off the horse and was rescued by Lu Xiaowan.

After being successfully treated with a medicine by Zhong Ning, he also made arrangements for Lu Xiaowan.

One is to give her some money and end the favor, and the other is to find a good family for her so that she will have no worries about food and clothing.

But Lu Xiaowan didn't want any of them. She just asked to stay by his side and be an ordinary maid. After all, he was her savior, so how could she be just a maid?

Fang Ping thought about adopting a younger sister in the name of the Fang family and sending her to the newly opened girls' school by Zhong Ning so that she could learn something. In the future, he would help find a husband for her and provide a dowry.

But Pao Xiaowan insisted that she should not be a younger sister but only a maid.

Fang Ping had no choice but to order someone to draft an employment contract, letting Lu Xiaowan go to the garden to take care of flowers and plants. With the guidance and training of the old gardener, she would be able to get the hang of it sooner or later.

Lu Xiaowan was dumbfounded.

She thought she had lowered her status to become a maid, and at least should be a personal maid, so how did she become a maid who took care of flowers and plants?

Who the hell really wants to be a maid?

She was obviously thinking...

Fang Ping didn't know what she was thinking, he just thought she wanted to find a stable job.

After all, there are maids in the mansion. Considering that she once saved him, it is not a bad idea to give her a job.

But today Zhong Ning suddenly mentioned her.

For some reason, Fang Ping felt a little guilty. Perhaps it was because he had taken in a woman at home? But wasn't she just a maid?

"Yes, it's her." Zhong Ning seemed to be lost in memories:

"I got these two magical golden fingers from her. It's a black koi jade pendant... If I'm not mistaken, it should be something that can absorb a person's luck."

Fang Ping was horrified. He even suspected that the reason he suddenly fell off his horse was because of this jade pendant.

"Then it..."

"Deprivation success!"

"I still can't imagine..." What kind of magical object would be able to deprive the golden finger?

Zhong Ning snapped her fingers, and a golden-glowing card suddenly rushed out from her sea of ​​consciousness, spinning right in front of the two of them.

In the lower right corner of the card, there are three circular frames. The first two frames are already filled, and there is a groove at the end.

"You're just going to let me see this?" Fang Ping's expression was somewhat complicated. His fellow villager actually had such a secret. "Do you trust me so much?"

"Didn't you also give me the assault rifle?"

Trust is mutual, and you can use any powerful weapon.

What's more, even if you see it, you can't take it away.

"If everything you said is true... then I wonder when this third supernatural golden finger will appear?" Fang Ping asked.

This determines when he can return home.

Just for the fact that this gold card can deprive the system, it must be an awesome magical thing.

Since Zhong Ning had obtained such a magical artifact, it must be able to take them through time and space and send them home.

Zhong Ning shook his head and said frankly, "I don't know either... but I think the time for it to appear won't be too far away... as short as a year, as long as several decades... but no matter when it is, it will definitely appear."

"I was just thinking, we are here for a while and we will leave eventually, but before we leave, can we do something for the people here?"

Fang Ping looked at Zhong Ning, his face suddenly filled with fear: "Don't tell me you want to overthrow the emperor..."

Zhong Ning rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily:

"Do I look that foolish? Every era has its own characteristics. I wouldn't even consider overthrowing the monarchy... If the emperor were gone, the world would be in chaos..."

I have come out, which shows that she is really angry.

Fang Ping touched his nose, feeling that his good life of idleness was coming to an end. But Zhong Ning was right. They came here and should leave something behind before leaving.

At least they should repay this world for its tolerance and protection!

"What I mean is, we need to find a way to ensure that the people here have enough food to eat..." Zhong Ning continued, "I've learned some history of this era and found that it's on the brink of collapse."

"In addition to external threats, its biggest threat lies within."

"Do you remember why the people rebelled in ancient times? The biggest reason was land annexation..."

"Seventy percent of the country's land is currently owned by aristocratic families, wealthy families, and gentry landlords..."

"Less than 30 percent of farmers can actually pay taxes."

"The huge tax burden from the state will eventually overwhelm them and they will rebel."

"But now, you are just a princess. Even if you are temporarily regent, it will only be for a short period of time..." Fang Ping hesitated to speak, and finally expressed his concerns.

"Temporary regent?" Zhong Ning let out a cold smile. "Father is old...it's time for him to rest...The Second Prince hasn't grown up yet...I have plenty of opportunities to be regent!"

"You, you want to be the queen?" Fang Ping's eyes suddenly widened.

"I don't want to be an empress. I just want to be a regent princess and promote some reforms during the regency period..."

"Oh, so you want to be Zhang Juzheng, but if so, I'm afraid you'll end up like Zhang Juzheng in the future, with your personal life and government overthrown. Wouldn't all our efforts during this period be in vain?" Fang Ping continued.

"This palace not only needs a Zhang Juzheng, but also a Huang Chao..."

Fang Ping:.......

You really dare to think.

Even Huang Chao came out.

Do you want to personally support a force to rebel against your own family?

Then use Huang Chao's power to directly eliminate the aristocratic families?

"Okay, I was just kidding. We'll take whatever steps we can take. It's all for the people of the world. Let's do as much as we can before we leave!"

"In addition to land, we also need corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. We've already arranged for their planting. Wanting also has some in stock. I'll arrange for large-scale planting at the Imperial Farm. It will only take two or three years for them to be available throughout the world!"

"I'm telling you this because I need your help!"

"You're a talent in the entertainment field. I'd like to use you to start a newspaper called Dayong Weekly!"

"Because it was just the beginning, it was published every seven days, and then it gradually evolved into a daily newspaper... In that era, there was movable type printing, but the difficulty lay in sourcing information."

"But it doesn't matter. I have an intelligence organization under my command called the Dark Chamber. I will arrange for someone to connect with you and extract the relevant intelligence for you to screen!"

"The amount of intelligence information accumulated by the Dark Chamber is quite large, and it will at least be enough for you to use for a long time."

Fang Ping was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you trying to leverage public opinion?"
