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

"Little Ancestor, this is..."

"Ready to go back?"

Zhu Yunhuan's answer surprised Fu Youwen again.

Not only did the taut string finally relax, but I also felt a little relieved in my heart - it was just something that he looked at twice and then gave up. At least His Majesty did not show any sign of having fun with it.

In other words, Your Majesty is here for serious business!

"Not only is he here to do business, but judging by his Majesty's expression, he seems to be in a good mood! Perhaps... he's accomplished something he wanted to do!"

"Regardless of whether the matter Your Majesty is concerned about is related to the Huaixi nobles, but given Your Majesty's usual temperament..."

Fu Youwen pondered secretly in his heart.

After all, he thought he could understand this little ancestor's temper to some extent - usually, his mind was full of twists and turns, his stomach was full of grievances, and his emotions were hidden from his face. But now this little ancestor had such an expression on his face...

More or less something good is happening!

Of course, no matter what Fu Youwen said, he had to keep it completely concealed. It would be wrong for him to rashly guess the emperor's intentions when Zhu Yunhuan did not say it clearly.

Besides, this little ancestor's intentions are the most difficult to guess.

Two previous achievements that seemed almost certain to succeed, namely "designing and issuing Kaiqian Tongbao" and "applying for additional issuance of Daming Baochao to celebrate the new emperor's change of era", were both rejected.

Not to mention these things that don’t exist.

After a pause, Fu Youwen only replied respectfully, "Yes, I will take Your Majesty back to the palace right away."

Zhu Yunhuan did not comment, but consciously took a step back as the "servant of the Minister of Revenue" and lowered his head slightly.

Fu Youwen, of course, understood Zhu Yunhuan's intentions. He immediately waved to the people he had dismissed earlier. When the receptionist approached, he assumed a dignified demeanor and said businesslike, "Let's end today's inspection here. The quality of the fire guns, bowl-mouth guns, rockets...etc., is considered acceptable. It seems you haven't neglected your duties. You should continue to do so in the future."

"The Ministry of Revenue's affairs are the affairs of the imperial court and His Majesty. We cannot afford to be careless in the slightest. Remember this! If you show any carelessness, I will punish you severely!"

As a "master of flattery" and a "progressive activist", Fu Youwen seizes every opportunity to be in the spotlight.

The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.

Fu Youwen was suppressed by Zhu Yunhuan, and in front of these people, Fu Youwen was his absolute superior. Naturally, they did not dare to neglect him and immediately swore solemnly: "We will obey the orders of the Minister!"

Fu Youwen used his official power to warn his men, and then he naturally left the north city warehouse with the "servant" beside him. The two of them still sat in the carriage that Fu Youwen usually used for travel and returned to the palace together.

Almost no one in the entire Yingtian Prefecture knew about it.

While the Minister of Revenue, Lord Fu, was out of the palace on business, the current Emperor Kaiqian actually followed him quietly and got the answer he wanted with satisfaction.

……

It’s just the beginning of the new year, and the annual budget for the country has just been set.

The six ministries were all very busy. After Fu Youwen settled Zhu Yunhuan, he still had to go back to the Ministry of Revenue to work.

However, he had just stepped into the Ministry of Revenue.

Not long after, Zhan Hui came over to check on his official business...

"Old Zhan? You came at such a coincidence. You are not here just to check with me about official business, are you? You ran so fast just now that I couldn't even see your back before you disappeared." Fu Youwen said teasingly.

Didn't he know this old hand? When something happened, he would run away faster than anyone else, and when it came to getting information, his ears would prick up higher than anyone else's.

Zhan Hui laughed cheekily and said confidently, "Old Master, what are you talking about? Run? Why should I run? His Majesty summoned you, not me! I'm so busy with official duties, I dare not delay."
