Chapter 139 New official takes office
Yun Shu's words made sense. The Right Prime Minister and Minister Yan looked at each other, and there was a solemn look in their eyes.
Although up to now, they still don’t really believe Yun Shu’s so-called “the answer will come out at a glance”.
But they saw Yun Shu's overly confident and calm attitude, and it was impossible for him to say that he was not panicking at all.
But things have come to this point, if I say I don’t want to compete anymore, the one sitting on the dragon throne won’t agree!
Minister Yan secretly encouraged himself in his heart for a while, then he bowed and agreed:
“Princess, I am grateful for your advice.
But for this, I will trouble the Right Prime Minister. "
"It's just a question. It's not really a big deal."
The Right Prime Minister glanced at Yun Shu, pondered for a moment, and waited until Minister Yan's abacus, paper and pen were ready before he slowly spoke:
"Last year, a certain company engaged in the cloth business and hired 1,326 people to weave cloth. Among them, 985 people were paid 10 taels, 800 coins, and the rest were paid 11 taels, 231 coins.
The cost of dyeing cloth...Among them, 13,069 pieces of cloth were transported by water to the Jiangnan area, and 5,721 pieces of cloth were transported by land to Jiangdong.
The cost of water transport is...
The cost of the paving in each place is..."
Probably to embarrass Yun Shu, the question about the Right Prime Minister was made particularly complicated. The data involved were numerous and fragmented, and the amounts were not small.
But he didn't realize that the person he was pitting was not Yun Shu, but Minister Yan.
After all, the large-amount multiplication involved in this was just a casual remark for Yun Shu, and the calculator could produce the result with a click of a button.
When it came to Minister Yan, the answer he got was so loud that the abacus beads were about to clatter.
Seeing Yun Shu lazily propping up his head, looking as if he was in a trance,
The Right Prime Minister thought that his embarrassment had worked. Yun Shu had already felt dizzy after hearing this and had given up struggling.
however……
"Excuse me, how much money did this business make last year?"
"Five hundred and thirty-six thousand seven hundred and twenty-one taels plus nine hundred and eighteen coins."
Almost at the moment when the Right Prime Minister asked the last question, Yun Shu's answer came out immediately.
The expression on the right prime minister's face suddenly froze, and Minister Yan, who was still struggling to fiddle with the abacus beads opposite him, suddenly raised his head and stared at Yun Shu in disbelief.
"Why is Minister Yan looking at me like this?"
Yun Shu stood up and leaned over on tiptoe to take a look at him:
"Could it be that Minister Yan's answer is inconsistent with mine?
If this is true, then I suggest that Minister Yan recalculate again. Anyway, I will definitely not be wrong!"
"…Princess, you're joking."
After hearing Yun Shu's words, Minister Yan, who had barely come to his senses, realized that he had lost his composure.
He smiled awkwardly:
"I just didn't expect the princess to calculate so quickly. I haven't even finished yet."
"Then Minister Yan must finish the calculation."
Yun Shu suddenly realized and said kindly:
"Otherwise, people will mistakenly think that Minister Yan is incapable of taking on the position of Minister of Revenue. Then Minister Yan will be forced to prove himself in the court like I have done!"
"…Princess, that's right."
Minister Yan gave a dry laugh, then lowered his head again and continued to work on his abacus.
But his mind was disturbed, and when he moved the abacus beads again, it was obviously not as smooth as before.
I even accidentally dialed two wrong ones!
Fortunately, he reacted promptly and corrected it immediately.
Crack, snap!
After the crisp sound of the last abacus bead, Minister Yan sat in front of the desk, without moving for a long time.
The right prime minister had a bad feeling in his heart, and before he had time to think about how to respond,
Yun Shu poked his head out again out of curiosity:
"What is Minister Yan's answer? Is it really different from mine?" "...No, it's quite the opposite."
Minister Yan felt his throat tighten, and after much effort, he finally managed to squeeze out a very bitter sentence from his throat:
"Five hundred and thirty-six thousand seven hundred and twenty-one taels plus nine hundred and eighteen coins. My answer is exactly the same as your Highness's."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Even Emperor Xuanwu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was amazed and laughed out loud:
"Good! Princess Saint Ann is extremely intelligent, especially in mathematics. She is a natural genius and is truly the best candidate for the president of the Chamber of Commerce. No one can surpass her!
Saint Ann, listen to me! "
"My son is here."
"My fifth daughter, Yunshu, is very intelligent. I think you have a good nature and I want to appoint you to a position of talent to bring out your talent.
Today, I specially appoint you as the president of the General Chamber of Commerce, making you an important figure in the court, managing all the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce and holding the power of the Chamber of Commerce. I hope you will live up to my expectations!"
"Your Majesty, I obey your order. I thank you for your grace. Long live your Majesty!"
The father and daughter made a quick decision and immediately decided the position of President of the Yunshu Chamber of Commerce while the officials in the court were still not able to recover from their shock.
The imperial decree has been issued, and it is too late for anyone to say anything.
The Right Prime Minister hesitated for several times, and finally could only congratulate Yunshu first, and then try to make Yunshu unhappy from other places -
"...Now that Princess Sheng An has become an official appointed by the imperial court, there are some things that are inappropriate for her to do."
"Oh?"
Yun Shu raised an eyebrow and pretended not to know:
"I wonder what the Right Prime Minister is referring to?"
"Of course, it's something as absurd as planting all the weaving shell flowers all over the sky!"
The Right Prime Minister threw his sleeves coldly and arrogantly:
"In the past, the princess was just a princess and she was still young, so it was understandable that she acted a little spoiled.
But what the court officials should have in their hearts is the Tiansheng Dynasty, Your Majesty, and the people of the world!
If the princess still insists on doing this and wastes money and manpower, I, your humble servant, will be the first to disagree!"
"So the Right Prime Minister is not keeping his word and wants to go back on his word?"
It was Yunshu’s first day as a new official, and he didn’t have his official robes or tablet yet.
She folded her hands, and the two conflicting adjectives of well-behaved and arrogant were unexpectedly combined together in her:
"You've made so many difficult requests before, but now you're just saying no,
How can the Right Prime Minister win the support of the people if he acts so erratically and recklessly in the future?"
"I am also thinking about the princess!"
The Right Prime Minister looked arrogant and did not take Yun Shu's accusation seriously:
"The princess is now an official appointed by the court, how can she have so much time to do other things?
Rather than worrying about it, why not just give it up! "
"But I have already done it all!"
Yunshu spoke very quickly, and responded with a conditioned reflex:
"This is impossible!"
"How is it impossible?"
"It's just impossible!"
