Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Two such large projects appeared out of nowhere.

The Ministry of Revenue has to calculate and approve the budgets below, verify actual expenditures... and so on, and is extremely busy.

When he fainted during the death-defying protests against the ministers, he was undoubtedly pretending. Now his face looked even more haggard, and it couldn't be more real.

"Sir Yu, I'll leave this accounting to you." Fu Youwen picked up the detailed expenditure budget sheet in his hand, placed it on the edge of his desk, looked at the things on his desk intently, and gave instructions without raising his head.

Inside the office, there was only another middle-aged man sitting behind a desk. Like him, the middle-aged man was wearing a crimson official robe, and his rank was obviously not low.

It was Yu Xin, the current Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Last year, there was no Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Fu Youwen was the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, assuming the responsibilities of the head of the Ministry of Revenue. Later, he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the position of Left Vice Minister became vacant.

Therefore, Yu Xin, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is the de facto second-in-command of the Ministry of Revenue.

however.

When Fu Youwen explained the matter to Yu Xin, he didn't hear Yu Xin's response for a long time.

At that moment, Fu Youwen raised his head with a little dissatisfaction, frowned and looked at Yu Xin and said, "Master Yu?"

And he looked up and saw it.

At this moment when the Ministry of Revenue was in a state of panic, his colleague was staring outside the door in a daze, and no one knew what he was looking at.

"Yu Xin!?" Fu Youwen shouted even louder.

Yu Xin finally came back to his senses, retracted his gaze, and showed an embarrassed look on his face: "Yes, Master Fu, you go ahead."

Fu Youwen rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Why don't you check this budget? We have so much to do right now, how can you just sit there and stare blankly?"

"It was my negligence. Please forgive me, Lord Fu." Yu Xin immediately put on an apologetic smile and said.

Fortunately, Fu Youwen did not blame him any more. He just sighed and turned his attention back to the accounts in front of him.

Yu Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up and took the detailed budget from Fu Youwen's desk. As he lowered his head to work, he shook his head awkwardly.

"Never mind. It only happened a month ago. There's no official document to officially explain it. It was just a casual remark from His Majesty. His Majesty favors the Ministry of Works and is completely focused on the elixirs at the Alchemy Department. It was just a casual remark back then, and perhaps His Majesty has already forgotten it."

"Perhaps... Lord Fu's original proposal to increase the issuance of treasure notes and the new currency simply displeased His Majesty for reasons unknown to others."

"What else do I need to think about?"

Yes, Yu Xin was staring outside in a trance because he was thinking about today - the fourth day of the second month, which was exactly one month away from the fourth day of the first month when His Majesty gave the exam.

Being in this political arena.

Who wouldn't want to seize every opportunity to reach new heights? Even Zhan Hui, Fu Youwen... those who had almost reached the pinnacle of their official positions, were constantly thinking about further advancement, perhaps even adding a few more titles to their arsenal.

As the second-in-command of one of the six ministries, Yu Xin is naturally more motivated to make progress.

not to mention.

Fu Youwen was getting older, so Yu Xin naturally wanted to be seen more. He also felt that although he only had a vague understanding of Zhu Yunhuan's test questions, he had roughly... grasped something, so he wrote down his own insights and submitted the answer sheet.

If you want to please the young emperor who has a strange temper and weird ideas, making progress may be a more likely way.

Unfortunately……

It's time for this lottery, it's already afternoon.

Perhaps my answer didn't resonate with His Majesty? Or perhaps... His Majesty's cynical and eccentric nature had caused him to forget about it?
