Many past events have disappeared in history. As for whose father the former King of Jin was, it is no longer important now.

They are all dead anyway.

The second assistant was completely ruined. He was demoted to a commoner and exiled a thousand miles away.

The second assistant vomited blood on the spot when he received the imperial edict.

He regretted his decision, because he knew that there is no wall that is impenetrable, and even after many years, the truth was still revealed.

If he had retired from the industry some time ago, he could have returned home safely.

Unfortunately, he missed the last chance.

As a result, a vacancy appeared in the cabinet. Originally there were five people, but now there are only four. The bigwigs in the court are ready to make a move and intend to move up one more position.

However, the emperor has no intention of adding more people for the time being.

While others were jumping up and down, Mu Wanqing had no intention of getting involved, and instead focused on rectifying the Ministry of Revenue.

While she was away, the Ci Fu and his gang had tampered with the Ministry of Revenue, making it a complete mess.

As soon as Mu Wanqing returned, she carried out drastic rectification, uncovered many problems, and cleared up the atmosphere.

She specially went to visit the left and right assistant ministers who were recovering from their injuries. They both hated the second assistant minister to the core, so how could it be such a coincidence that they were injured at the same time? As soon as they got into trouble, the second assistant minister reached out to the Ministry of Revenue. Who else could it be but him?

Therefore, they were most happy when the second assistant fell.

Mu Wanqing said that she would not leave the front line if she was only slightly injured, and would come back as soon as she had recovered from her injuries, because the department was busy and urgently needed corporate slaves.

The corners of the minister's mouth twitched, "Please hold on for the time being."

After Mu Wanqing left, the Minister's wife came in to serve her husband. Seeing his happy face, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, is there any good news?"

The assistant minister smiled and said, "Princess Qingping asked me to go back to work. She said she would get me a wheelchair that can be moved and someone will be there to serve me. She guaranteed that it would not affect my work."

A man cannot live without power. He was getting very irritable while recuperating at home, fearing that someone else would take his place.

The Minister’s Wife: …

What's the fun in going to work? I don't understand men's minds at all.

With the return of Mu Wanqing and the two assistant ministers, the Ministry of Revenue quickly stabilized and returned to normal.

During this period, Mu Wanqing also had to help the bank formulate various rules and businesses, and also provide training to relevant staff.

She can only rely on herself for this, no one can help her.

No one else has seen it.

I had finally finished this job and wanted to take a break, when people from the Royal Technical School came to see me.

It's the annual entrance examination again, and she sets the questions herself every time.

She is very strict about this card and does not allow anyone to do anything under her nose.

The number of applicants this time is as high as over 10,000, from all over the country, but there are only 500 places available, which is a very difficult ratio.

Mu Wanqing gave the questions on the spot, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of cheating.

As soon as the questions were released, they were sent to various examination rooms by the staff.

More than 10,000 people took the exam at the same time, which was quite a spectacle. Mu Wanqing randomly checked the exam rooms. There were 100 people in each exam room and five examiners. Once cheating was discovered, the candidate would be disqualified from the exam.

Mu Wanqing came randomly and didn't stay long. Some children had poor psychological quality and became nervous when they saw her, with their hands shaking.

She saw a familiar figure in the crowd, it was the second princess.

The second princess was bent over her desk solving test questions, so focused that she didn't notice Mu Wanqing standing behind her.

Mu Wanqing took a few glances. She had a talent in this area and had studied for some time, so she had a solid foundation.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. This girl was a frequent visitor to the Royal Technical School, but she still had to take formal exams to strive to be admitted to the school openly and study systematically.

This was the emperor's arrangement. Ever since he discovered that his second daughter was sensitive to numbers, he has been intending to train her in this direction.

What's the point of raising a princess into a parasite? Forget it, just study hard and work hard.

The emperor had few children, only one prince and three princesses, so he had to raise the princesses as well.

The Grand Duchess is in charge of the newspapers. Although the Second Princess is younger, she also has a name in the bank's regulatory department, representing the royal family.

When she finishes her studies, she becomes the second president of the bank.

Mu Wanqing was happy to see it happen and couldn't wait for it to happen.

It will take at least another six years for the second princess to become a corporate slave, as she has a lot to learn.

Six years later, Mu Zicheng had accumulated enough experience and naturally entered the Ministry of Households.

She had paved the way for Mu Zicheng, but how high he could go depended on himself.

Her eyes fell on several other noble ladies, all of whom were children of high-ranking officials, both legitimate and illegitimate.

The Royal Technical School is no longer just a shelter for the spoiled sons of high-ranking officials, but a place that countless people flock to.

Mu Wanqing didn't stay long and went to the next examination room. A boy sitting by the window saw her hand shaking and soiled the test paper, and his face turned pale with fright.

“I…I…”

Many children would lose their composure when they saw her, but Mu Wanqing didn't take it seriously. "It's okay. This is not an imperial examination. As long as the answer is right, it's fine."

Just an entrance exam.

She casually glanced at the name on the test paper, Huang Ziyu. Most of the questions on the test paper were correct.

The boy's eyes were red, "Thank you, Princess."

"Take the test well."

Mu Wanqing took a round of inspection, returned to the office, took a sip of tea, and picked up the registration form on the side to read it.

This time, 50% are children of officials and wealthy businessmen, and 50% are children from poor families. It's a 50-50 split, a bit of a coincidence.

The ratio of the written test was ten to one, and only fifteen thousand people could enter the interview stage.

Mu Wanqing was too busy to be an interviewer, but she would occasionally come over to take a look.

What a coincidence, she happened to come over that day.

"Next, Huang Ziyu."

"Here." A chubby boy ran into the interview room quickly.

Mu Wanqing looked over and her expression changed immediately. Seeing this, the people around her asked softly, "Princess, is there something wrong?"

Mu Wanqing pursed her lips slightly, "Go check, how many Huang Ziyu are there in this exam?"

The result came out quickly, "Just one."

Mu Wanqing frowned, "Please suspend the interview first and bring Huang Ziyu to me. Oh, and call Fang Siye as well."

Fang Siye came hurriedly, "Princess, what happened? Why did you stop the interview?"

Mu Wanqing pressed her forehead and said, "Something went wrong..."

"Princess, Huang Ziyu is here."

Huang Ziyu was brought in and saluted the two men tremblingly.

Mu Wanqing picked up the registration form and glanced at it. "Huang Ziyu, you are the youngest son of a salt merchant, right?"

Huang Ziyu had learned the rules, "In reply to the princess, yes."

Mu Wanqing didn't say much to him, and directly took out a test paper, "You do this test paper."

Huang Ziyu was dumbfounded, "Ah, what? Didn't you say it was an interview?"

Mu Wanqing pointed to the desk by the window and said, "Just sit here and do the test."

"yes."

After a cup of tea, the test paper was still blank. Fang Siye saw it all and his face turned pale.

He couldn't hold back any longer, "This is the entrance exam paper, didn't you just take it?"

"I..." Huang Ziyu's face changed drastically, and he knelt down with a plop. "Princess, spare my life. It was arranged by my father."

Fang Siye was furious. He actually took the exam under someone else's name! This was cheating. How dare he do that?

I don't know how many people are involved. "Investigate, thoroughly investigate."

Mu Wanqing sighed softly. She tried to defend herself again and again, but still failed. Life was really difficult in the era without photographs.

Is it time to start a new course, portraiture?

However, even modern times cannot defend against it.

In fact, this kind of thing is not difficult to investigate. Huang Ziyu is psychologically fragile and he will reveal a lot of details once asked.

He was not smart enough, so in order to ensure that he passed the exam, he found a ghostwriter to help him take the exam.

The thing they have the most is money, so they will use money to get the other party to agree.

Not only the Huang family, but several other families were also involved.

The matter has become a big deal, and people are talking about it. There are all kinds of things being said, and some are secretly trying to add insult to injury.

Mu Wanqing, the person in charge, failed to supervise properly and took the initiative to ask for punishment in the court. The censors stood up one after another to accuse her.

The emperor fined her half a year's salary, and then asked the empress dowager to reward her with jewelry, so it had little impact on Mu Wanqing.

Of course, none of those involved can escape.

…

At the end of the year, Mu Wanqing asked to see the emperor with a pile of information.

"The population increased by 200 percent this year?" The emperor was shocked by the data. This increase was a bit exaggerated.

Due to frequent disasters and wars in the past few years, the population has dropped sharply, so he has been recuperating.

But I didn’t expect the effect to be so good.

Mu Wanqing was not surprised. "With the large-scale promotion of potatoes and corn, everyone can eat their fill, their health will improve, and their fertility will also increase."

People are almost starving to death, who has the mind to create humans?

"You encouraged widows to remarry under tremendous pressure, released palace maids, and exempted them from taxes by having more children, which is also the reason for the increase in population."

"Secondly, the number of drownings of baby girls has dropped significantly. Except for extremely remote and poor areas, this situation still exists, and it is less common in other areas."

As long as they have enough food and warm clothes, having one more mouth to feed is not a big deal. What’s more important is that girls can go to school, become officials, or work as female workers, thus bringing huge income to the family.

The local government is also doing its best to crack down on drowning baby girls. Once discovered, the entire family will be punished.

It’s okay if you don’t want to keep it, just send it to Renjitang.

Once you enter Renjitang, you are supported by the state and become the state's people. The debt of life to the state is completely severed and there is no further connection between you and the state.

Renjitang’s expenses are huge, so it also accepts donations from all sides.

Mu Wanqing spends millions of dollars in Renjitang every year, dedicated to raising these baby girls, teaching them knowledge and various skills, and the principles of life.

Cultivate their independent and self-reliant character and the basic skills that enable them to be independent from an early age.

There is always one suitable for you among needlework, cooking, housekeeping and arithmetic.

Today, business is extremely prosperous and snack streets are everywhere.

The industry developed rapidly, the textile industry swept across the country and also drove other industries.

Therefore, these children from Renjitang will not have trouble finding a job. As long as they work hard, they can support themselves, find a co-worker as a partner, form their own family, and have a few lovely children. Their paths are clearly planned.

If you have a particularly smart child, you can take the entrance exam to the Royal Technical School. Once you are admitted, you will have a bright future.

This gave everyone hope.

Taking several reasons into consideration, a population explosion is normal.

The emperor was filled with joy; the peaceful and prosperous era he desired was getting closer and closer.

A panicked voice suddenly rang out, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The usually calm chief eunuch looked terrified, as if something big had happened, but he shut up in time when he saw Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing stood up tactfully and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

"You stay." The emperor's heart trembled, and he had a bad premonition, "Speak."

The chief eunuch's eyes were red, "The eldest prince has been infected with smallpox and has a high fever."

The air seemed to freeze, and Mu Wanqing was stunned. She couldn't believe her ears. Smallpox?

"Your Majesty." Amid the eunuch chief's scream, the emperor fell backwards...
