Chapter 33 What is this collective doing? Is it a snake?
All those who could hear the inner voice looked at Yuan Ruan.
Yuanruan:?
How strange! Am I particularly adorable today?
She smiled and waved again, then retreated behind the emperor.
The emperor patted Yuan Ruan and glared at the young officials who didn't know how to restrain themselves. The young officials avoided his gaze and pretended that they didn't hear anything, and started talking about their own topics.
However, their self-concealing topics were simply incomprehensible in the eyes of the officials of the sixth rank and below who could not hear their true voices.
The young officials of the sixth rank and below were all confused, and they were shouting in their hearts: What are you doing! We are seriously catching the traitors here, why are you talking about family problems here! ?
Yuan Ruan had no idea that he had inadvertently caused a class split among the court officials.
She is still actively complaining to the system:
[Murong Ji is really the ancient version of "She Vanished"! He wanted to seize Zhou's property, so he teamed up with Zhou's brother to make a plan. He only needed to bring Zhou to the prince thousands of miles away, and then he could kill Zhou by throwing a pot at the prince. Then he would divide the property with Zhou's brother and use it as funds to restore the country. But... he didn't know that Zhou was pregnant! ]
Crowd: !!!
What, what kind of devil is this guy!
The prince was so angry that he almost fell over.
He frowned and spoke sternly: "Murong Ji, when you contacted Zhou's younger brother to divide up Zhou's minerals and wanted to use me to kill her, did you ever think that Zhou was already pregnant with your child?"
Murong Ji froze suddenly: "What! Only five times! There is no way she is pregnant!"
The curly-haired woman stopped abruptly: "How do you know it's five times?"
Murong Ji suddenly shut his mouth, then opened it again: "No, no." Murong Ji regained his composure and said dryly, "Zhou, don't believe him, I'm not..."
The prince said: "You can stay in Kyoto until the child is born and confirmed."
Murong Ji lowered his voice and said, "He must have deceived you and wanted to kill you to protect his reputation."
Zhou clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "You really think I'm a fool!"
At this point, she suddenly punched Murong Ji, who was caught off guard and flew backwards, hitting an empty vegetable basket nearby. Zhou rushed over and tore off the man's clothes.
Crowd: !!!
"Good, good! As expected, there is this red mole. The patriarch of my clan hates men who are unfaithful and disloyal the most, so the daughters of my clan swallow the holy blood to feed the mother and baby parasites since childhood. After feeding for more than three years, a red mole will grow on the palm of the girl's hand. Once she mates with someone, the baby parasite will be transferred to the man. If I die, the man will also die. And there is no antidote." Zhou's eyes flashed with hatred and ridicule, "I hurriedly chased after you because I wanted to explain it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in private. It was for His Royal Highness's good. I didn't expect it to be you, it was you!"
Crowd: !!!
This is so shocking! Is there such a thing?!
But they soon realized that Zhou's younger brother must have known about it, but deliberately did not tell them about the risks. He was planning to keep all the property for himself!
The court officials of the prince's faction looked at the prince with relief: Fortunately, you, the prince, uphold male virtues, otherwise if your life depended on a woman, you would probably lose your position as the prince.
Prince: ...
Murong Jidu struggled to get up from the ground, and after two seconds, he looked terrified: "You lied to me! How is this possible!"
The curly-haired woman coldly stabbed the knife into her palm and groaned.
The next second, Murong Ji seemed to be electrocuted. He lay on the ground crying and screaming in pain, shaking all over.
Yuanruan held her face in surprise:
[Wow! There is such a mysterious setting?! Tonger, I want it too!]
System: [You are the destiny of Xia Nation! You will have countless magical powers in the future. If anyone dares to bully you, you can kill them without anyone noticing. You don’t need such a small trick.]
Young officials who heard about the concept of national destiny for the first time: !!!
They exchanged glances with each other and finally understood why His Majesty would let a baby be the Imperial Preceptor.
It is also clear why some officials no longer raised any objection to the young imperial teacher after the incident.
System: [This Murong Ji is a descendant of the royal family of the Ji Kingdom that was destroyed a hundred years ago. He has always wanted to restore his country, but he has become a savage tribe with only fifty people left. He wanted to murder the Zhou family to obtain their property, but now he has become someone that the other party can manipulate at will, which can be regarded as reaping the fruits of his own actions.]
Emperor, Crown Prince: ...
How could a lord who had become a savage a hundred years ago have the confidence to restore his country with the wealth of a woman?
Everyone looked at Murong Ji with a hint of contempt.
The Minister of Revenue wrote quickly: "It seems that we can propose to Your Majesty to sweep the barbarians near Daxia, pull these people down, and make them pay taxes to Daxia."
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice shook his head and said: "Before paying taxes, you have to consult the laws of the Ministry of Justice."
Yuan Ruan didn't know that Daxia was already conceiving a plan on how to properly deal with the savages.
She looked at the small tasks that the system had given her and silently complained:
[Tong'er, my nephew is really smart. It's worthy of being a fictional dynasty. Maybe the things I thought of before that could improve the country's fortune are all here. This world may be far more advanced than I thought. ]
The emperor smiled slightly: Well, the little goddess will not be disappointed if she is reborn here.
The prince pursed his lips and smiled: I was inexplicably happy to be recognized by the little goddess.
The young officials also said that they were in a good mood and liked others praising their country. Yes, it was more advanced than the little goddess had imagined.
[Perhaps there is already a world where one mu of land can produce 4,000 kilograms of potatoes.]
Everyone smiled: Yes, that's right, there is...
What?
What did you say?
4,000 kilograms of potatoes per mu? What beans can you tell me? How can the production be so terrifying?
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue in charge of agriculture sat down on the ground, his hands holding the abacus trembling. He was about to shout at Yuan Ruan, "Little goddess, we don't have 4,000 kilograms of potatoes per acre!"
[There may also be water-powered large-scale spinning machines with a daily output of 100 kilograms per machine. ]
Crowd: !!!
What? The daily output of each truck is 100 kilograms?
Now, it is already amazing if each person can produce 1.25 pieces of cloth! How many times has it increased now?
Now not only the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was excited, almost everyone was excited. Cloth in this era symbolized money, and many places did not accept money, but directly used cloth as settlement.
In other words, Yuanruan is saying that it can print and produce gold! Who wouldn’t be looking forward to it?
Even the emperor couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to say: Son, we don't have one yet, how about we make one? !
…
The system's voice is also confused.
[I don't know! Logically, the current productivity should be around that of the Han Dynasty, but, but their verification methods seem to be quite advanced. So I'm not sure. Maybe there are some changes due to the integration of so many worlds.]
Yuan Ruan suddenly smiled: [It doesn't matter, I will do the national destiny mission first. As for the potato spinning machine, I will give it up and see what else Xiaguo needs...]
Everyone almost shouted: "Stop it! Little princess, forget it, we in Daxia don't have it yet!"
The system nodded at the side: [What a pity. Daily tasks that can help improve the country's fortune only appear occasionally.]
[Daily Task: Perform a slap in front of ten people, Reward: Potatoes. (After the potatoes are successfully planted, the National Fortune Points + n can be calculated based on the area covered by the potatoes.) ]
Yuan Ruan: [It’s okay. I’m afraid no one would be willing to take on such a mission…]
Before it could finish its words, the system was almost confused by the scene in front of it.
Yuanruan was also stunned.
A certain young official suddenly burst into tears: "I suddenly remembered that I had let down a woman just like Murong Ji. I was wrong! I'm sorry!" and began to slap himself in the face.
The other one was stunned for two seconds, then said, "I'm wrong! I let down two women before!" and started slapping himself in the face.
Someone was speechless after seeing this. Damn it, you guys said "let down one or two women" in order, but I can't also say I let down three women. What other excuses can I use?
His mind raced, and he began to slap himself: "My face is itchy, there's a bug on it!"
[What, what's going on? The scumbag confessed? Did everyone get cheated? ]
Crowd: Yes, yes, yes. I fell into your trap.
