Chapter 140: Right Prime Minister, are you afraid that I don’t have money?
One is the head of all officials, and the other is only a fifth-rank official, but she is the emperor's own daughter.
The two men suddenly confronted each other in a tense situation, and the other officials subconsciously slowed down their breathing for a moment.
Finally, Emperor Xuanwu coughed lightly, breaking the sudden tense atmosphere:
"Xiao Wu is right, she has indeed done it all.
The original purpose of establishing the Chamber of Commerce was actually to curb the problem of land annexation to a certain extent.
In addition, the problems of long-distance irrigation and insufficient oxen have also been solved.
After the court is dismissed, the Minister of Works will come to my imperial study and try to promote these two sacred objects among the people before the spring planting this year."
"Yes, I obey your order."
The Minister of Works hurried forward to receive the order.
But at this time, no one cared about the Minister of Works anymore.
Everyone's attention was focused on the two things that Emperor Xuanwu himself called "divine objects", and...Princess Sheng Ann, who was suspected of having made these two things.
"Does the Right Prime Minister have any questions?"
Not caring about the gazes directed at him, Yun Shu tilted his head, clearly showing his arrogance and protest.
The right prime minister looked tense, and perfunctorily cupped his hands towards her:
“Princess, you are so talented that you can solve these problems. I admire you very much.
But I still have the same words. I agreed with the princess on this matter, but the princess has not yet entered the court. Now the princess's status is different from before. It is easy to cause controversy for a woman to enter the court.
If the princess doesn't restrain herself, she will be subjected to all kinds of rumors, and I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it!"
“Why are there so many rumors?”
Princess Saint Ann, who still looked a little childish, seemed to be angered by the right prime minister's words.
I don't know if it was for face or something else, but it looked like he was so angry that he blurted out the words without thinking:
"Isn't it said that after the flowers of the weaving shell flower fade, they will grow white and soft fruits that look like clouds?
What if I spend money to buy all those fruits? "
Buy them all?
This little princess is really still a little young. She can say such impulsive and brainless words!
The Right Prime Minister sneered, looking down upon Yun Shu's "brainless" behavior:
"The farmers who grow the weaving shell flower can make a profit from it, so the princess won't be wasting money and manpower.
But the princess had better think it over carefully first. If you plant those five hundred stones of weaving shell flower seeds, what will grow out of them will be far more than five hundred stones.
If the princess wants to take them all, she will have to spend a lot of money!"
"Right Prime Minister, are you afraid that I don't have money?"
Yun Shu refused to give in:
"Then the Right Prime Minister's worry is really unnecessary!"
"I am only giving you some advice because the princess is still young."
She wants to ruin the family, what does it have to do with him?
What’s the use of knowing how to count in vain?
A princess who is so dull and easily provoked can never achieve anything great!
The fear that had arisen towards Yun Shu today had unconsciously dissipated a lot. The Right Prime Minister held the tablet calmly and finally did not say anything against it.
The first court meeting in Yunshu's life ended with everyone having different expressions.
Yun Shu swung his sleeves and mixed in with the ministers who were leaving the court, and was about to leave together.
Before he took two steps, Li Dehai caught up with him in small steps:
"Princess, please stay. His Majesty wants you to go to the imperial study as well."
"Hasn't the Emperor already retained the Minister of Works, Lord Wang?"
What do workers hate the most?
It’s time to go to work.
What is more annoying than going to work?
I finally made it to the end of the workday, only to find that I still had to work overtime.
Yun Shu was now in the pain of knowing that she had to work overtime. She made a bitter face and tried to struggle:
"Those two things were not made by me in the first place, why do you have to let me join in the fun?"
"Princess is joking."
Li Dehai smiled and said softly:
"Your Majesty's order, I am just a messenger."
Yun Shu: “…”
Oh, I almost forgot, her boss is the emperor. If he asks her to work overtime, she has to work overtime. There is no room for struggle at all.
……
With an undisguised look on his face, he went to the imperial study as if he knew the way.
It was a little unexpected for Yun Shu that Emperor Xuanwu did not bring her along when talking with the Minister of Works from beginning to end.
It was not until the Minister of Works left with the blueprint that Emperor Xuanwu finally remembered his daughter who had been playing the invisible role since she entered the house.
"Why do you look so unhappy?"
Looking Yunshu up and down with great interest, Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Who made you angry again?"
"No one messes with my son."
Yun Shu's mouth drooped, and after mumbling something, he became even more unhappy:
"It's just that I feel like I don't want to go to school right now."
I get it, he was just lazy, but he didn't give in.
Emperor Xuanwu snorted and laughed, and suddenly he seemed to understand her a little:
"So you haven't shown your talent in mathematics because you were lazy?"
"That's not true."
Yun Shu lowered his head, played with his sleeves, and took out the speech he had prepared long ago:
"Actually, my so-called talent is quite limited."
"……What's the meaning?"
"If I want to calculate the answer quickly in my head, I need to focus all my attention and think with full concentration.
But it’s actually very tiring.”
As Yun Shu was talking, he began to speak freely and make up stories:
"You see, just now when I finished checking those three account books, I almost fell asleep in front of so many court officials, didn't I?
That is the feeling of fatigue that comes after my high concentration.
It is the same now. I just want to go back to Fengyang Palace and have a good sleep!"
Emperor Xuanwu: “…”
It doesn't sound real.
But it seems to be a little bit true...
Emperor Xuanwu was silent for a moment, and decided to skip this topic for now:
"Do you know about the Spring Ploughing Ceremony?"
"I just heard you and Lord Wang mention this."
Although she didn't know why the topic suddenly jumped to this point, it was a good thing that the other party did not delve into her amazing "mathematical talent" in depth.
Yun Shu nodded honestly:
"Isn't that still a month away?
The methods of making the curved plow and waterwheel are not difficult. As long as the method is passed on, a month will be enough for farmers in need to make these things. "
"That's not what I meant to say."
Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyes:
"I want to say that you have to go to this year's spring ploughing ceremony."
