Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

As for the others, especially the three kings and their officials, they all believed that she did so because she wanted to dedicate herself to the Great Zhao.

Or perhaps it's because she herself is power-hungry that she acted this way.

In fact, these people were also very shocked when they heard the news.

Many people strongly disagreed with this, feeling that the emperor and officials of the Great Zhao Dynasty had gone mad.

But after hearing that she had refuted the ministers in the main hall, they all fell silent.

Some people, like the ministers of the past, were successfully persuaded.

Some people, however, are still unwilling to accept this.

Because it was so revolutionary to them.

But will their disapproval affect Lingyan?

It has absolutely no impact!

They are not subjects of the Great Zhao, so their thoughts are not important at all.

So no matter what people said about this matter, Lingyan focused on doing her own thing and ignored all the noise and commotion.

However, that is all a story for later.

Lingyan has just arrived at the Ministry of Revenue.

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue, both high and low, were busy with their own affairs.

Upon glancing up and seeing the Crown Princess arrive, he immediately rushed over to greet her.

They looked nervous yet respectful, bowing deeply in greeting.

For a moment, the atmosphere became unusually solemn.

Seeing this, Lingyan slightly raised her hand and said softly, "My lords, there is no need for such formality. I am just here to take a look and do not want my arrival to affect your work. Please go back to your business."

The officials looked at each other, hesitant.

Upon seeing this, Minister Wang of the Ministry of Revenue immediately stepped forward and respectfully said, "It is truly an honor for our Ministry of Revenue that Her Highness the Crown Princess has come in person. Since Her Highness the Crown Princess has given the order, you may all withdraw and continue with your work."

The officials then withdrew and returned to their posts.

But he still kept glancing over here and there, feeling both nervous and excited.

Then Lord Wang turned slightly to the side, falling half a step behind Lingyan, and began to introduce her to the various affairs of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Your Highness, the Ministry of Revenue is a crucial institution in charge of the nation's finances. Its affairs are numerous and its responsibilities are immense. First, we are responsible for the management of land, household registration, taxes, and corvée labor throughout the country. Regarding land, we must meticulously register information such as the ownership, area, and fertility of each piece of land in order to levy taxes reasonably..."

Lord Wang spoke eloquently, not missing a single detail.

"Household registration management is also one of the important responsibilities of the Ministry of Revenue. We must ensure that every citizen has an accurate household registration record, including name, age, place of origin, family relationship, etc. This is not only related to the country's tax revenue and corvée labor allocation, but also to social security and stability..."

As Ling Yan listened to Old Master Wang's introduction, she nodded slightly, her eyes revealing focus and contemplation.

"Tax collection is the core of the Ministry of Revenue's work. We must formulate reasonable tax standards based on the economic conditions and product characteristics of different regions. At the same time, we must ensure that tax collection is fair and just, and does not increase the burden on the people..."

Lord Wang continued, "The arrangement of corvée labor also needs to be carefully considered. It must ensure the construction of major national projects and the needs of military operations, but it must not be excessively burdensome to the people and waste resources..."

With Lord Wang's introduction, Lingyan gained a deeper understanding of the work of the Ministry of Revenue.

She would occasionally ask questions or express her own opinions.

Lord Wang answered the Crown Princess's questions one by one, secretly admiring her knowledge and insight.

"In addition to these main responsibilities, the Ministry of Revenue was also responsible for the country's grain storage management, currency issuance, and commercial taxation. Grain storage management was to ensure that the country had sufficient grain reserves to cope with famine and war..."

Lord Wang's words flowed like a never-ending stream, presenting Lingyan with a detailed account of all the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue.

Lingyan listened attentively, her heart filled with emotion.

She always knew the importance of the Ministry of Revenue's work to the country.

Only after learning more about it did I realize that it was even more important than I had imagined.

Time passed quietly as Lord Wang introduced the Ministry of Revenue, and Lingyan's understanding of the Ministry of Revenue deepened.

I have a pretty good understanding of the general principles.

Then she turned her attention to the Minister of Revenue, Lord Wang.

Although his figure was slightly hunched, it could not hide his calm and composed demeanor.

Although the official robes were not flashy or ostentatious, they were neat and clean, showing his strict demeanor.

His face bore the marks of time, with wrinkles crisscrossing like ravines, yet his eyes were exceptionally bright, radiating wisdom and determination.

His demeanor was dignified and proper, his movements were unhurried and deliberate, and every action was just right, demonstrating the composure and style he had cultivated over many years as an official.

During their conversation, he spoke earnestly and clearly, demonstrating a thorough understanding of all matters concerning the Ministry of Revenue, which deeply impressed her.

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, showing both respect for her and the dignity befitting the Minister of Revenue.

From his words, she could sense his concern and sense of responsibility for the national treasury, as well as his determination to improve the well-being of the people.

Lord Wang was like the pillar of the Ministry of Revenue. Under his leadership, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue performed their duties and handled the complicated affairs in an orderly manner.

He has held this position for many years; such a remarkable person has been dedicated to handling so many important national affairs.

He has been a stabilizing force for the Great Zhao Dynasty over the years, maintaining the country's prosperity and stability.

You've really worked hard!

Lingyan then cleared her throat and slowly said, "Lord Wang, I have come here today and seen how busy the Ministry of Revenue is. I have many thoughts and suggestions, and I hope you will consider them."

Upon hearing this, Lord Wang bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please speak. I am all ears."

Lingyan nodded slightly, her eyes revealing determination: "First of all, in terms of household registration management, I believe that a more scientific method can be adopted to invent something called an ID card, which records each person's basic information, such as name, age, place of origin, etc., and has a unique number. This will facilitate management, avoid confusion in household registration, and allow for better control of population information."

Upon hearing this, Lord Wang frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "What Her Highness the Crown Princess said is quite novel, but it may be difficult to implement. Making identification documents would require a lot of manpower and resources, and the people may not be able to accept such a new thing."

Lingyan smiled and said, "What Lord Wang said makes sense, but we can implement it gradually. We can start by piloting it in some areas so that the people can gradually understand and accept this method. At the same time, we can use the existing household registration records to gradually improve the content of identity verification."

Upon hearing this, Lord Wang stroked his beard and pondered for a moment.

He quickly weighed the novel method proposed by the Crown Princess in his mind.

After a moment, Lord Wang raised his head slightly, his eyes showing appreciation, and slowly said, "Your Highness, this method is indeed feasible. If we can invent this so-called ID card, it can greatly improve the current situation of household registration management. Firstly, with this unique ID card, it will be more convenient and efficient for us to check personal information. We will no longer need to painstakingly flip through a large number of household registration files, which can save a lot of time and manpower."

"Secondly, it can effectively avoid the occurrence of household registration chaos. In the past, due to the lack of standardization of household registration records and lax management, problems such as duplicate names and information errors often occurred, making household registration management very difficult. The emergence of this ID card will make everyone's information unique and clearly identifiable, greatly reducing the difficulty of management."

"Thirdly, it is not impossible to gradually promote pilot programs so that the public can understand and accept this new method. Although the public may be resistant to new things at first, as long as we patiently explain its benefits and demonstrate its convenience, we believe they will gradually realize the importance of this ID card."

"Fourth, it is a wise move to use existing household registration records to gradually improve the content of identity verification. This will not only make full use of existing resources, but also ensure the accuracy and completeness of ID card information."

"Your Highness's plan is truly visionary, and I admire it greatly. I will do my utmost to implement this ID card system in some areas as Your Highness has suggested, and gradually promote it to improve household registration management and better understand population information."
