Shocked! I've become a female-dominated powerhouse!

“Floods in the South?” Miao Yi pondered for a moment.

The journey from here to the south, according to the normal itinerary, would take at least half a month.

The round trip alone takes a month, not to mention the treatment and prevention involved, which takes a very long time.

It takes too much time.

Miao shook her head, feeling it was inappropriate. She just wanted to get a title as soon as possible; everything else was secondary.

"It's taking too long, let's switch to another one."

As soon as Mu Xi finished speaking, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

I'm a little confused about whether this Miao is truly stupid or just pretending.

Such achievements are merely preventative measures, not actual flood control. Moreover, there have been no floods for many years, so this year's situation is not surprising.

As long as there are no problems, just follow the rules.

It can be said that the achievement was given away for free.

It would be foolish for Miao to refuse so easily.

Even the First Princess looked at Mu Yi with surprise.

The Second Princess was quite composed; she only glanced at Miao Yi and nothing else.

Upon hearing this, the Empress did not express whether it was expected or unexpected; she remained calm and spoke.

"So, you mean you want it to be fast?"

"Ah."

"Heh." The Empress chuckled, saying nothing more, then added, "Since we need to be quick, what about the provisions for the 100,000 soldiers?"

Miao raised an eyebrow slightly and looked up at the Empress sitting on the high platform.

Food for 100,000 soldiers.

At current prices, one million taels of silver can buy enough grain for 50,000 soldiers for a year.

With 100,000 soldiers a year, that would cost at least two million taels of silver.

If you want to get the grain quickly, you have to buy it at a high price, which would cost more than two million taels.

Moreover, there was a loophole in the Empress's words: was the food for 100,000 soldiers for one year, five years, or ten years?

Miao Yi bluntly stated, "Are you saying I bought the position of Lady of the House with money?"

It's still an installment payment plan.

Even the empress sitting above couldn't quite control her composure.

You knew it, yet you still said it.

This is not the simplest one.

The officials were speechless again, their expressions somewhat strange.

Even the usually composed Second Princess Consort was starting to wonder if His Majesty was setting someone up.

"Ahem, isn't this the fastest way? I'm just stating the facts."

"..." Your Majesty is truly shameless... Bah, Your Majesty is truly wise!

It's not unreasonable to exchange a small amount of money for a title that's merely nominal.

cough……

That's not excessive.

I heard that the Third Princess went to a gambling den a few days ago and won two hundred taels of silver in just one day.

How can such a treasure trove be considered too much?

It's nothing.

Even the First Princess, who had lost two hundred taels of silver at her gambling den, was overjoyed. She was making Miao Yi support 100,000 soldiers year after year, which would surely drain the family's coffers. Moreover, the soldiers she was supporting were His Majesty's soldiers, so they no longer belonged to Miao Yi.

Why not do it?

The eldest princess, Wang Shengxiao, even led the commotion, kneeling down and kowtowing, saying, "Your Majesty is wise."

Ministers belonging to the Grand Queen's faction also came forward.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Even the Second Princess's faction was not lagging behind. Even though the Second Princess hadn't made any moves, the three of them were happy as long as their own faction didn't get into trouble.

Besides, it was His Majesty who took the initiative!

Therefore, even those who had not yet chosen sides but belonged to His Majesty's faction knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

In the entire court, only Miao Yi stood in place, while everyone around him knelt down.

Miao Ying: ...
