Quick Wear: Even big guys have to work hard

The Great Yuan Dynasty.

On an official road leading to a border prefecture, several carriages were traveling under the escort of officials.

Mi Shishi lifted the carriage curtain, and she found herself in another ancient time and place, where the official road was uneven.

One of the causes and effects collected during this mission was: "If a child is not taught, it is the parents' fault!"

This refers to the responsibility of educating one's children.

The original owner's husband was the newly appointed top scholar in the imperial examination. He wrote a practical policy essay, especially for the border region that had just experienced war and was in dire need of reconstruction.

then.

The top three scholars in the first-class imperial examination were originally supposed to enter the Hanlin Academy, so they were all sent out to other places!

The new top scorer is from a poor family, and he has passed the exams all the way up, so he must have real skills.

During his tenure in the border region, he indeed made remarkable achievements, rose through the ranks, and eventually became a confidant of the emperor, holding the highest rank of first grade.

however.

Because of his neglect in educating his children, he was plotted against by the enemy and ultimately suffered the fate of having his family wiped out, his ambitions truly gone to waste.

A fleeting moment of glory!

It's too late to regret!

The original owner's wish was to correct his children's behavior. If he couldn't correct them, he would find a way to have them adopted out, so as not to harm the whole clan in the end.

Mi Shishi's lips twitched.

Isn’t it right?

nonexistent!

At worst, we can give them a brain transplant, or even turn them into idiots, and still support them for life.

The newly appointed top scholar, Yan Rumo, is not only talented but also a good official who is wholeheartedly devoted to serving the people.

In the end, he met such an end.

That's just too much!

Although the emperor wanted to protect him, the evidence of his son's collusion with foreign enemies was irrefutable, and he could not show favoritism.

The fact that they were ultimately sentenced to exterminate three generations of their family instead of nine is already a mercy!

Mi Shishi finished reading the mission background.

Suddenly, I felt a strong urge to stop trying to correct it; maybe I should just turn him into an idiot!

Fifty thousand soldiers, most of them died because of that stupid son.

The lives of tens of thousands of martyrs! Just strangle them already, why bother teaching them?

When they stopped to rest along the way, the eldest son, Yan Shangming, saw the way his mother looked at him, as if she were looking at an enemy, wishing she could kill him immediately.

He felt inexplicably guilty, wondering what outrageous thing he had done. Could it be that his mother had found out about his secret trip to a brothel before leaving the capital?

Don't tell your wife!

"Mother, what's wrong?"

He asked weakly.

"Are you on good terms with someone surnamed Fang?"

Mi Shishi's eyes were sharp as knives, as if she wanted to slit her eldest son's throat with a single stroke.

To prevent harm to loyal and virtuous people.

"Yes, yes, Brother Fang and I get along very well!"

Yan Shangming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sever ties immediately. His identity is questionable, lest he be sold out and still be helping the seller count the money."

Mi Shishi said sternly.

"Ah, okay, okay, I'll break off all ties with him right away!"

Yan Shangming's mind went completely blank.

At this moment, Yan Rumo walked over.

"What? Is there something wrong with the Fang family?"

"This is a huge problem. Get back in the carriage, and I'll explain everything to you!"

Mi Shishi naturally had to warn him in advance.

After resting, the group boarded the carriage again and continued their journey. Yan Rumo, however, sent servants to collect grain and seeds along the way.

He didn't go to the border region to enjoy a life of luxury.

The war in the border region had just ended, and the people were starving and freezing, waiting for relief. The amount of silver allocated by the imperial court was only 40,000 taels.

no way.

The national treasury was depleted due to the war.

If this 40,000 taels were allocated directly to the prefectural government, it would be subject to layers of embezzlement. The amount that would actually reach the common people would be very small.

It was only after Mi Shishi reminded him that Yan Rumo requested an imperial decree granting him the privilege of using the resources at his own discretion, which allowed him to purchase grain along the way.

In reality, given the current situation in the border region, even with money, it's impossible to buy grain.

Therefore, Yan Rumo is indeed a practical and capable person.

This is the case in any ancient setting; Mi Shishi has encountered many almost identical tasks in her memory.

I know it very well!

What problem does the Fang family have?

Inside the carriage, Yan Rumo asked.

"The Fang family ancestors were from other ethnic groups. Their business routes have always been in the Northwest, and they have also won over many sons of officials, especially the newly rich."

Mi Shishi then dropped a bombshell.

“In every branch and generation of the Fang family, there has been a son who died of illness or went missing.”

Yan Rumo couldn't help but frown.

In ancient times, with limited medical and communication capabilities, it was quite common for children to die or go missing.

However, it's a bit of a coincidence that every family and every generation has it.

"What bothers me most is that someone saw a foreign merchant who looks very much like a member of the Fang family."

Thinking hard!

How do you know these things?

Yan Rumo asked in confusion.

"It was Madam Xu who brought up the Fang family's affairs as a joke, and that's when I started to take notice."

Mi Shishi had already explained that the original owner had indeed heard these things in her previous life, but she treated them as gossip and just listened to them without thinking about them!

Who could have imagined that this would be the root of all evil, causing the deaths of so many people?

"Also, do you remember the Fang Family Trading Company's logo? Doesn't it look like the wolf god worshipped by foreign tribes?"

This is the real evidence. Such a blatant mark, yet no one associated it with outsiders, allowing the Fang family to infiltrate the Great Yuan Dynasty.

The Yan family at present.

They can't even be considered newly rich.

The Fang family had already begun to befriend Yan Shangming, not because the Fang family had any particularly discerning eye for talent.

Instead, someone in the court, guessing the emperor's intentions, leaked a list of people who might become the emperor's confidants to the Fang family.

Collusion between insiders and outsiders.

Even if the foreign tribes could not win the battle, they could scheme against these talented individuals and make the emperor himself eliminate the pillars of the Great Yuan.

What a brilliant scheme!

Even if the emperor eventually found out, he could only watch helplessly.

It is an indisputable fact that they colluded with foreign enemies, leaked secrets, and harmed tens of thousands of loyal soldiers.

"Just as I thought! I must submit a secret memorial immediately!"

Yan Rumo was entrusted with an important task and had the authority to submit secret memorials. Unexpectedly, the first secret memorial he submitted was...

It had nothing to do with the border region, but rather with the origins of the Fang family and their wolf god emblem.

Upon receiving the secret report, the emperor immediately ordered the Black Scale Guard to investigate.

Needless to say, quite a lot was uncovered, but the emperor didn't act immediately; he wanted to play the long game and catch a big fish!

Mi Shishi's observation particles attach to the dense folds and infiltrate the palace, keeping abreast of the palace's movements.

When she has free time, she doesn't mind having 074 help the old emperor keep the palace in check.

It has corrected many wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice.

You're welcome!

More than half a month later, the Yan family arrived in Bianzhou. The city was desolate, and the people on the street were all dressed in rags and looked emaciated.

Officials from the government office greeted them outside the city.

They had already heard that the new prefect had brought several carts of grain, and everyone was excited, not because they were hungry or cold.

Some of them come from well-off families and have no problem eating and dressing well.

Rather, if the people's livelihood is not addressed, and a civil unrest ensues, their official positions will be in jeopardy!

Therefore, everyone was pleasantly surprised to see the Yan family arrive; there was no question of them putting on a show of force!

They couldn't wait to get rid of this mess in Bianzhou as soon as possible.

Yan Rumo quickly made arrangements, and each county was able to send people to collect some relief grain.

To completely solve the problem, relying solely on food relief is definitely not enough.

Although Bianzhou is not the largest prefecture, it is not small either. Only by enabling the people to be self-sufficient can their livelihood be truly solved.

Yan Rumo had a detailed plan in mind, which he had done very well in his previous life, so Mi Shishi didn't need to worry about it.

After settling down at the government office, she immediately hired a strict tutor for her eldest son and kept him confined at home.

Hey you, you academic underachiever, study hard!

Make him do what he fears most, so he'll never achieve official rank in this lifetime.

It's ok!

It's not like we can't afford it.
