soon.

Yan Jiaoran washed up with the help of the palace maid, changed into the dragon robe, and went to the imperial study to work without stopping.

"Your Majesty, how about having dinner first?" Murong Yanran asked.

Yan Jiaoran shook her head: "No need, let's go to the imperial study first."

Looking at the empress who was in a hurry, Murong Yanran was a little confused.

She couldn't figure it out.

How come the empress suddenly became so diligent and caring for the people?

He had just woken up and didn't even have time to eat, so he ran to the imperial study to work.

This is not her style.

According to the past, one would have to finish his meal first, then dawdle for a while, and then reluctantly go to the imperial study to deal with memorials.

What's going on today?

Murong Yanran was completely confused.

Soon, she followed Yan Jiaoran to the imperial study.

Yan Jiaoran first closed the door, and then called the Plum Blossom Guards to stand guard outside the house.

Murong Yanran couldn't help but marvel at it.

What were they discussing that caused such a big fuss?

The last time we talked about the land tax and labor service, the empress didn’t seem to be so cautious.

Just when Murong Yanran was surprised.

Yan Jiaoran sat on the chair and slowly asked, "Yanran, how is the ship going? Has it gone out to sea for a trial run?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Yanran became even more confused.

Is it necessary to make such a big fuss just for this matter?

What on earth is your Majesty up to?

Murong Yanran couldn't understand the Empress's thoughts, so she could only answer honestly, "Your Majesty, we went out to sea several times, but each time we encountered storms, only one or two people survived."

"It seems that sailing on the sea is quite dangerous now. I'm afraid that the money you collected for the voyage will be lost."

Yan Jiaoran didn't care, but ordered: "Pass the order on. At all costs, we must accumulate enough experience to realize sea voyages and open up routes as soon as possible."

Murong Yanran asked, "Your Majesty, why are you so anxious?"

"Could it be that one of the princes and ministers is urging Your Majesty to repay the debt?"

Yan Jiaoran shook her head, took out a framed "world map" from the imperial study, pointed at the location of the Japanese island and said:

"Here is a mountain of gold and silver, capable of producing eight million ounces of silver."

"How much...how much?"

Murong Yanran thought she had misheard and asked again, "Your Majesty, how much silver did you say was produced?"

Yan Jiaoran said slowly, word by word, "The annual output is eight million taels of silver, which can be mined for a hundred years."

"Eight million!" Murong Yanran was shocked and didn't believe it at all.

She was considered half the prime minister of the Great Zhou.

He has a relatively good understanding of all things in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There are hundreds of silver mines in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, but the annual output of silver is only 20,000 taels.

Now, you say this place produces eight million taels of silver annually?

This is equivalent to the output of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years.

What a joke!

How is that possible!

and!

Your Majesty, you don’t even know what the world is like. How do you know that there is a silver mine in this place and that it can produce so much silver?

Murong Yanran raised her eyes and looked at Yan Jiaoran in a daze, her heart full of doubts.

After a long pause, he slowly said, "Your Majesty, why do you say that?"

Yan Jiaoran knew that she could no longer hide the truth, so she could only sigh, "When I first heard the news, I was as shocked as you are."

"That's why I'm telling you to send someone to this place at all costs to see if there really are so many silver mines."

Murong Yanran frowned again and asked, "Your Majesty, where did you get this information? Is it credible?"

"It's absolutely credible. It was told to me by the immortal in my dream."

The immortal in the dream?

Qin Yuan?

If it was him, then the news was indeed credible, and it was no wonder that His Majesty made such a big fuss.

Murong Yanran already believed it a little, and said with a bow:

"Your Majesty, Yanran understands. I will give the order immediately. These two mountains of gold and silver must be found at all costs."

After saying this, Murong Yanran was about to leave the imperial study.

Yan Jiaoran suddenly asked again, "How's the printing of the book going?"

"It is done, Your Majesty!"

"Yanran has fulfilled her mission. She has worked tirelessly for the past five days, secretly gathering three thousand craftsmen. She has already printed one hundred thousand copies of the book and bound over sixty million volumes, ready for sale at any time!"

Murong Yanran's excited voice rang out in the hall.

"Very good!" Yan Jiaoran was overjoyed and ordered, "Since that's the case, it's time to start that thing."

"Yes!" Murong Yanran bowed, "Yanran, go and make arrangements right away. We must take this opportunity to ruthlessly put an end to the arrogance of the aristocratic families!"

Then, she bent over and slowly left the imperial study.

Get all the things at hand done.

Murong Yanran's mind finally became active.

Think carefully about what happened today.

strangeness.

How did Your Majesty communicate with Qin Yuan?

She didn't sleep all night last night and was very sure that not even a fly flew into Yan Jiaoran's bedroom.

But how did these two people pass the message?

How did Your Majesty get such explosive news of eight million taels of silver from Qin Yuan?

Is it really a dream as Your Majesty said?

Qin Yuan was giving a lecture to His Majesty in a dream?

The last time this anomaly occurred seemed to be...

Seven days ago!

His Majesty went to handle government affairs early in the morning for the first time in history.

There were also a bunch of strange words written on the papers in the imperial study.

The last time seemed to be...

Fourteen days ago!

In Her Majesty’s dream, an immortal gave her lessons, teaching her the art of slaying dragons and the theory of national destiny!

The last time seemed to be...

Twenty-one days ago!

…

Murong Yanran sorted it out carefully in her mind and was surprised to find that Yan Jiaoran would be a little abnormal every seven days!

Push forward step by step, seven days at a time.

It seems... it was His Majesty who solved the famine problem with his ingenious strategy of mixing rice bran with sand!

hiss!

There is only one truth——

Could it be that Your Majesty and Qin Yuan have a secret meeting in dreams every seven days?

Murong Yanran was shocked by the conclusion she came to.

Does such a thing really exist?

However, the more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

Your Majesty, why did you notice Qin Yuan?

Your Majesty, why do you go out of your way to cause trouble for Qin Yuan?

Your Majesty, why do you entrust such an important task to Qin Yuan?

Your Majesty, why do you insist on taking Qin Yuan into the palace?

Your Majesty, why haven't you been practicing Taoism these days?

Only this answer can explain everything.

That makes sense.

It all makes sense.

It was precisely because of this that she was never able to find any flaws in the two of them.

There is no contact channel between the two!

only……

Since the two of them could meet in dreams every seven days, why did Qin Yuan force himself to claim the credit for the labor service a few days ago?

It seems that there is some hidden story behind this.

Wait another seven days and see.

Let’s see if His Majesty will say anything shocking again in seven days!

Seven days!
