The people at the other tables nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Regardless of what actually happened, the money exploited from ordinary people must be returned.

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Su Muyao nodded in satisfaction.

Since the magistrate here is good, I will not get involved.

After dinner, I rested for the night.

They finally returned to Beijing near dusk on the second day.

After returning home, she slept soundly in her soft bed and went to the morning court early the next morning.

When Su Muyao arrived, all the ministers had already gathered inside.

Su Muyao carried her small stool and stepped over the stairs to reach the main hall.

"Yaoyao is here. You must have had a long journey."

Su Muyao openly rolled her eyes at the emperor.

Seeing the young princess's expression, the other ministers quickly shut their mouths, afraid of offending this little tyrant.

Su Muyao placed the small stool next to the Prime Minister and then plopped down on it.

Immediately afterwards, everyone started talking about it again.

"Your Majesty, this old minister believes that since the Great Yan Kingdom has already fallen apart, we should take it down in one fell swoop."

No sooner had this person finished speaking than the man beside him suddenly stood up as well.

"I think this is inappropriate. Although the Great Yan Kingdom has already fallen apart, it is still a great power."

"If we act so recklessly, what if they coordinate with us from the inside and launch another surprise attack?"

The general who had spoken earlier took a step forward in anger upon hearing this person's words. (′△｀)

"You're supposed to be a military officer, yet you can say such things."

"If all the men of my great dynasty were as cowardly as you, what would become of us?"

The moment he finished speaking, the man next to him became somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Doesn't this mean that you're afraid of death?

Su Muyao watched as they talked until their faces turned red and their necks thickened, almost to the point of a fight.

At this moment, Su Muyao looked at the emperor.

"How's the construction going over there?"

When the emperor heard the young princess change the subject, he quickly replied, "While you were away these past few days, things have been progressing quite smoothly over there."

Go check over there later and see if there's anything that's not done properly. Tell them to fix it immediately.

Su Muyao nodded upon hearing this; naturally, she had to keep a close eye on what she had created. ^o^

Just then, the two people who were arguing fell silent when they heard the young princess speak.

The Prime Minister looked at the two men and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

He talks a good game about being a military general, but he can't back down. Why is he so afraid to speak to the young princess?

The Prime Minister then stepped forward and asked, "I wonder what the young princess's opinion is on this matter?"

Su Muyao's bottom had barely touched the small stool.

And there it was, someone calling me again.

He looked up and saw the prime minister standing next to him.

Su Muyao rolled her eyes: "You're so fussy, asking me about everything. What's the point of having ministers like you?"

The Prime Minister was rebuked by Su Muyao, but he didn't dare to talk back.

He touched his nose and grinned at Su Muyao.

After thinking for a moment, Su Muyao said, "I think both generals are right."

Our great dynasty truly needs brave and courageous soldiers.

But you still need to use your brain when fighting. What's the point of just charging into battle like a reckless brute and maximizing damage?

The reason for waging war is to expand our territory and prevent our great dynasty from being invaded by other countries.

Furthermore, after our great dynasty became prosperous and strong, no one dared to bully the people, and they were able to live and work in peace and contentment.

Therefore, I hope that the two generals can express their thoughts together.

Then everyone discussed together which methods to use for the attack.

Instead of arguing endlessly every day, you expect me, a little girl of about ten, to give you advice.

The two generals, both in their forties, were scolded by the young girl until they lowered their heads.

This made the other ministers laugh.

Many years ago, they never imagined that such a scene would appear in the imperial court.

The ministers were already used to this scene.

After the morning court session, Su Muyao went to check on the area that had not yet been completed.

When she arrived, she saw everyone working in an orderly manner.

When Su Muyao arrived, she overheard two men talking to each other.

"Let me tell you, this Lord Wang is definitely a corrupt official."

"What do you mean by that? Don't talk nonsense, this is right under the emperor's nose."

Besides, it was the young princess who proposed the project; who would dare to embezzle the money here?

The man sitting to the side shook his head.

"You're still too young; you don't understand the intricacies of this situation."

I'm telling you, I saw it with my own eyes. Lord Wang told his men that the stuff didn't need to be too good.

The remaining silver will be split 20/80 with that man.

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao was so angry that she wished she could skin Lord Wang alive.

But in order not to alert the enemy, we should wait a little longer.

Who knew that by exposing one Lord Wang, there would be thousands upon thousands more Lord Wangs behind him?

This project is a hot commodity for everyone, as there are countless benefits to be gained from it.

Xia, who was standing to the side, looked at Su Muyao's not-so-good face and asked, "Princess, shouldn't we first uproot all these officials suspected of corruption?"

After listening, Su Muyao nodded: "Indeed, it is urgent to address this corruption once it spreads."

This would not only affect the smooth progress of the project, but also damage the reputation of the imperial court and the well-being of the people.

Most importantly, if you use inferior products, the meeting might not be completed, and you'll end up with a bad reputation.

Reputation is secondary; if it can't be built this time, how can it possibly have a future? (*｀へ′*)

"Then it will be the ordinary people who suffer."

After Su Muyao finished speaking, her eyes were firm and resolute.

Xia felt a little relieved when she saw her little princess's appearance.

The young princess will surely be able to uproot all those officials involved in the case.

Then he secretly sent his bodyguards to follow Lord Wang.

After Su Muyao arrived, she announced the disbursement of the next batch of project funds.

The several large boxes of silver were then brought to Lord Wang, who was instructed to keep them safe.

Don't skimp on anything you need; use the best quality of everything you can.

"Lord Wang, this matter concerns the common people of the great dynasty."

Therefore, Lord Wang must not substitute inferior goods for superior ones!

At this moment, Lord Wang smiled with a simple and honest expression: "What are you saying, little princess?"

Everything we need is top-notch.

Naturally, I know that this matter concerns the future rise and fall of the people of the great dynasty, so the young princess can rest assured that this old minister has a clear understanding of the situation.

Su Muyao gave Lord Wang a deep look and said, "Since Lord Wang is aware of this, I will not say anything more."

After saying this, he took Xia and left.
