Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Chen Hanlin slowly poured water into the teacup and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of this place, sir?"

"I'm a little curious. I've never visited this school since it was established," Sheng Changan whispered.

"I didn't expect Master Chen to be so direct." Once those words were spoken, if someone had malicious intentions, it would very likely backfire.

Chen Hanlin smiled, his tone carefree, "It's just a death, and I believe in you, sir."

Being able to save so many people in this situation, he believed that these people would not betray her so easily. More importantly, Guangping County was worth it for him to do so.

"Your Excellency's actions are not tolerated by the current world, so you must find another way. Even so, I, your subordinate, will help you solve your problems."

Sheng Changan's eyes moved slightly. She didn't expect that he would trust her so much, and this was probably not the first time he had done this.

It is undeniable that she did have this concern, even though she saved the people of Guangping County. But if it comes to rebellion, not everyone may be willing to do so. In this era, the fear of the emperor is almost engraved in the hearts of these people.

That's why she wanted to change it step by step, at least starting with this school, so that young children can better develop new ideas. But she didn't expect the scope to be so huge.

Chen Hanlin seemed to notice Sheng Changan's hesitation and suddenly changed the subject: "Your Excellency built a city wall. I went to see it. Given its height and strength, it should be no problem to resist the Xianbei."

Sheng Changan frowned and hesitated, "Yes, the Xianbei have invaded repeatedly, and we always have to fight back."

Chen Hanlin put down the teacup in his hand, his face serious. "But sir, you have overlooked a problem." He paused and said meaningfully: "Walls have ears. Although the things are good, they are too conspicuous."

"Things that are too good often attract covetousness, which is not a good thing. Guangping County's enemies are not limited to the Xianbei."

Sheng Changan's face changed. There must be an airtight wall in the world, and her wall was just there, and sooner or later it would be seen by someone.

She said with a slight sense of luck: "It's a good thing that I can resist the Xianbei. The court should not have any objections!" Logically speaking, she should be very happy that someone helped her resist foreign enemies.

An unknown look flashed across Chen Hanlin's eyes. "Your Excellency has overestimated the character of this current person." He is vindictive, petty-minded, and likes to listen to slander, but is as timid as a mouse.

"Sir, please stop the Xianbei. If they get angry and start attacking Jingguo, given the current leader's personality, he will not let the culprit go and will make the Xianbei pay with their heads."

Sheng Changan curled the corner of her mouth and said, "I helped him stop the Xianbei, but he wanted to kill me to apologize to the Xianbei?" She was a little bit unbelievable. How could this kind of emperor still exist in this country?

As a monarch of a country, even if his mind is not very clear, he cannot be so stupid!

"At first, General Shen was stationed at the border, and there were a few good generals in the court, who were able to barely defend the country. But about a year ago, the current emperor got a favorite concubine."

"With her around, her father quickly became the prime minister. However, this man was short-sighted and had a serious desire to amass wealth. He came up with an idea that required border counties to pay a certain amount of silver if they needed soldiers to garrison them."

"This way, the barracks can meet their own military needs, and a portion can be set aside to expand the national treasury. Those who fail to pay will be exiled at best, or even beheaded at worst. After this incident, the only people left on the border are some bartenders."
