A small peasant girl who traveled through time and space picked up a war god prince

Siyu looked at the minister suspiciously. She had just arrived in the capital, hadn't offended anyone, and didn't know these demons. It seemed she had gotten in someone's way, and these people were deliberately targeting her! Siyu wasn't afraid. She weighed 70 kilograms, but she had a 69-kilogram rebellious streak. She was always getting braver with every setback. If she was afraid, she wouldn't be Bai Siyu.

May I ask what your name is, sir?

My surname is Li. Humph, you are a child. Instead of staying at home to learn women's virtues and precepts, knitting, and how to take care of your husband and children, you actually come out to show yourself in public. You really don't know what you are doing.

Siyu was not to be outdone and retorted, "Then I would like to ask Master Li, if you look down on women so much, where did you come from? You were born by your mother, right? Your mother is a woman, right? Your wife is a woman, right? Your daughter is also a woman, right?"

Lord Li, we are talking about your high-yield grain now, why are you bringing up my mother, wife and daughter?

Siyu: Hehe, Master Li, you are truly unfilial. You actually look down on your mother, wife, and daughter. And Master Li, you heard—who told you that potatoes can be poisonous? Everyone in our village has eaten them, and nothing happened. How can you say they can be poisonous?

It's also common sense that potatoes have teeth, and eating them can indeed cause poisoning, but they grow teeth to produce seeds, so why are you letting people eat them? Could it be that Lord Li doesn't want to let the people grow this high-yield food? And you don't intend to tell the people about these common sense things.

Or do you think the common people are fools? Are you going to eat the seeds you saved and poison yourself? Lord Li said, "Even children know: No matter how hungry you are, don't eat laying hens. No matter how poor you are, don't eat grain. No matter how frustrated you are, don't ignore others. No matter how rich you are, don't look down on others." Why does Lord Li seem to be reading, but he's just a bookworm who doesn't know how to adapt himself to the book?

The Emperor sat at the head of the table, watching the little girl perform with a smile on his face. If it were anyone else, the Emperor would have torn her flesh to pieces long ago, but since this little girl looked so much like him, he just let her do what she wanted.

And Long Linxiao also looked at Siyu arguing with the ministers with a smile on his face.

Lord Li was furious. "You, you're so sharp-tongued! It's true. It's said that it's difficult to raise a mean man and a woman. The ancients didn't lie to me." Lord Huang also stepped forward and said, "Little girl, don't be so arrogant! The Emperor is here, and you're so disrespectful to your elders. Everyone here is older than you, and you're so arrogant! How dare you stand in this hall and speak so arrogantly? You planted a new seed, and everyone raised questions. That's understandable, but you're still nagging me. What's going on? Just because you planted a few high-yielding seeds, you think you're so great that you can be so arrogant. Little girl, I advise you not to be so arrogant."

Siyu looked back at Mr. Huang and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Huang. Although I am not a gentleman, I know what to do and what not to do, what to say and what not to say. Since I came to the capital, I believe I have not offended any of you, nor have I blocked your path. Why do some people target me intentionally or unintentionally? What is the reason? You know it, I know it, heaven knows it, and the earth knows it. We all know it in our hearts. It would be meaningless to say it too clearly."

Lord Huang was relentless. Long Linxiao and the Emperor were both furious when they heard the lord's questioning. How could there be such a blind person?

Prime Minister Fang was secretly delighted, his head lowered, his face beaming. "You little girl, you disobeyed me and dared to go against me. If you dare to go against me, you'll know you'll suffer the consequences." Unfortunately, Prime Minister Fang had overlooked one point: the Emperor and Prince Xiao both favored him and were on his side. Even if he was powerful and could control half of the court, he couldn't cover everything.

Some honest ministers stood up and said, "Great, with this high-yield grain, the people of the Yulong Dynasty will no longer suffer from hunger."

The happiest ones were the generals at the border. They were happy for the soldiers going to the battlefield. They were so happy that they even cried with joy. They talked to each other. With these two high-yield crops, potatoes and sweet potatoes, the soldiers would not have to go to the battlefield hungry and weak because of lack of food.

There were also some good officials and loyal ministers who were dedicated to serving the people, as well as royalists and those who supported the third prince, Prince Xiao, who all stood up to praise and support what Siyu did.

And they all praised the county lady highly, saying that she was a woman of great righteousness, a heroine who was as good as any man, and a role model for women.

This made the ministers of the Prime Minister's faction very dissatisfied. They all raised their heads and hated those supporters.

Lord Zhou, the censor dedicated to serving the people, also stepped forward and reported to His Majesty, "I believe the County Lady should be rewarded. Although she is a young woman, her contributions to our Yulong Dynasty are not insignificant. First, the curved plow, then the composting method, and later the waterwheel, have solved the common people's difficulties in irrigating their fields. Now, there are new grain varieties." "Your Majesty, please reward the County Lady of Liping." Lord Zhou bowed and asked the other officials present, "Who has the ability of the County Lady? Who can make so many contributions to the people?" "You all stood there questioning, aren't you embarrassed?" His colleagues received His Majesty's salaries, while Lord Zhou bowed to the Emperor, yet he did nothing to share His Majesty's concerns.

Everyone here, we, as ministers, should serve the emperor, share his worries, and work for the well-being of the people. We spent ten years studying, not just to be officials, but to work for the benefit of the people, for the well-being of all the people in the world. And what are you all doing here? Are you trying to make things difficult for a little girl? And a little girl who has made great contributions to our Yulong Dynasty? None of you gentlemen can tolerate this. Where have you all learned about propriety, righteousness, and integrity? How can you be so embarrassed! This old minister hopes that the emperor will consider and reward the county lady.

The emperor nodded happily. Finally, there is someone who understands and is sensible. Hmm.

Prince Xiao also nodded happily.

Siyu, thank you very much for speaking well of me.

But I haven't finished introducing it yet. There's one last thing. Siyu lifted the covered basket that was hidden from view. Inside, she saw plump grains of rice.

Then, the jealous Lord Li jumped in and said, "Isn't it just a basket of rice? What's there to envy? Did the Princess of Liping bring a basket of rice to show us? Or do you think we don't know how to grow rice and need you to teach us?" Hahahaha, hahahaha, what a joke! We are all uncles and grandfathers, and yet we don't know that this is rice.

Siyu smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, she stood there listening to everyone mocking and laughing at her like the aunties at the vegetable market.

Siyu looked at the group of self-righteous, arrogant old guys and shook her head. They really were a bunch of old players.

The emperor looked at his ministers standing there, and the chattering was like a hundred ducks, making a headache.
