Great court meeting
Su Wuzheng knelt in the center and announced the good news loudly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, the God-given grain has yielded a good harvest in the people's homes. Every household will have at least an extra twenty dan of grain..."
The ministers were extremely shocked, but after being shocked, they immediately questioned: "Your Majesty, we understand that Eunuch Su wants to make a contribution, but taking the people of the world as the basis is really abhorrent. Please, Your Majesty, execute Su Wuzheng."
Lin Yushu chuckled and looked at the Censor. "You want to execute my people before the truth is revealed. Are you trying to redress the injustice of the people or are you doing it for your own selfish desires?"
Lin Yushu's ambiguous smile frightened the ministers below him. After a year of getting along with him, everyone knew that this emperor was not an easy person to get along with.
The last person who offended her is still a slave in the harem.
Lin Yushu glanced at them with disdain and looked at Su Wuzheng: "Su Wuzheng, you heard it too. They want you to produce evidence. If you don't have it, I will never tolerate it."
She played with the pen in her hand and spoke slowly but with a hint of sarcasm.
The ministers below were all jealous. Su Wuzheng and Shen Ze were the two most trusted by His Majesty. One controlled the Imperial Household Department and the Artisans' Workshop. The items in the Artisans' Workshop were all magical weapons, but they were not allowed to see them. Only Shen Ze could distribute them.
Now the generals who want to see Shen Ze have their requests scheduled until next month.
As for Su Wuzheng, who controls the Jinyiwei, no one knows what he has been busy with since His Majesty ascended the throne last year. All we know is that the Jinyiwei has been busy with the grain seeds issue.
I thought it was destined to be a joke, but now it has become a huge achievement.
Promoting grain planting...
This is an achievement that will go down in history!
Su Wu Zheng was certainly not talking nonsense. He took out three things, one of which was an extremely full ear of wheat, with a long ear dragging down and very heavy.
It was much longer than what the ministers usually saw.
Several ministers who were good at farming walked over in an instant, holding the wheat ears, and were so excited that they could hardly speak.
Su Wuzheng smiled and took out another whole potato seedling. The tuber underneath was intact and looked heavy.
The ministers were even more surprised. They opened their eyes wide. Needless to say, they could see that what Su Wuzheng said was true.
Based on this output, it is no less than what Su Wuzheng said.
I didn't expect that Su Wuzheng, the eunuch who always liked to show off his achievements, would start to be humble. This shows that his Majesty is a wise ruler.
Isn't it just that you want women to enter the court?
If you want to join, then join. There's no need to keep idle people in the court these days. They're all busy as hell. Your Majesty has come up with a lot of things for them to reform...
There is also His Majesty's plan to fight against the Xiongnu, Western Qiang, and Northern Liang. Just thinking about it makes me busy. There is also His Majesty's request for shipbuilding. I heard that the shipyard has already built quite a few.
His Majesty has long said that the silver mines in Japan are huge, and their first stop will be to attack Japan...
The ministers imagined the workload in the future, covered their slowly rising hairlines, and wished they could work 24 hours a day.
After all, if they don't go to work, there will be countless people who can replace them.
Lin Yushu looked at the bright eyes of the court officials below and said with a smile: "The promotion of grain seeds this year will be handed over to the lower level. Su Wuzheng, your people will now collect intelligence on foreigners for me. I hope you can spread the news that our people like cattle and sheep."
Lin Yushu looked at Su Wuzheng and said, "I will now issue an order to allow trade in cattle, sheep, and other goods."
Su Wuzheng had no objection. The general who had guarded the border before understood Lin Yushu's intention almost instantly. With the ability of the foreigners, if they raised cattle, sheep and other livestock, they would not be able to raise horses at the same time. Your Majesty is weakening the power of the foreigners!
Lin Yushu chuckled: "The grain seeds have not been fully implemented yet. We need to buy enough time to give us time to prepare."
And there is no need to rush, she has two hundred years to do this.
At this moment, the newly appointed Prime Minister knelt in the center of the hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty, due to the busy affairs of the court, there is a lack of new people. We are young and can still hold on, but the old men like the ministers are no longer able to bear it. Your Majesty ascended the throne in a hurry..."
Lin Yushu glanced down at him and said, "Get to the point!"
The new cabinet chief is a talented person and very loyal, but he is a bit strange and long-winded. He can annoy people to death by nagging about even the smallest things.
If he hadn't been very efficient, Lin Yushu would have given him a beating long ago.
The young cabinet chief smiled, revealing his white teeth. "Your Majesty, I ask you to open a special imperial examination. Your Majesty mentioned the idea of women taking the imperial examination last time, and we have already discussed it. Now that the court is short of talent, I suggest that Your Majesty hold separate imperial examinations for men and women. What do you think?"
He was also considering those women. If they failed the exam and had to take the same exam room with the men, rumors would probably be spread by people with ulterior motives. Then, the future of those women would be extremely difficult.
Lin Yushu thought for a moment and said, "Yes."
She also knew that the women with some knowledge nowadays were all from aristocratic families, but there was no time to cultivate them now.
After that, a girls' school could be opened directly. She knew that none of the ministers objected, and it was probably because of her.
She knew very well in her heart that these ministers obeyed her not only because she was the emperor, but also because she was the Ghost King and not a human being.
If they angered her, they were afraid that she would send them away without a word.
They are afraid of themselves.
Chen Ze said indifferently: "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court——"
The trembling old tutor stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, it is a good thing that Your Majesty is working hard to govern the country, but the harem is too thin. I know that Your Majesty does not need children for generations to come, but it would be good to have a few more beautiful women in the harem who can accompany Your Majesty to talk and chat."
Lin Yushu raised an eyebrow. "Young masters from aristocratic families who are around my age already have wives, and those who are younger have concubines. My dear, do you want these people to enter the palace to serve me?"
The Grand Tutor shuddered and said, "We will have someone search for a man of good character to accompany you into the palace."
Lin Yushu smiled and said, "I have already made a plan for this matter, so you don't have to worry."
Isn't it just to enrich the harem? She can have as many as she wants, and she doesn't want these spies from the aristocratic families to enter the palace at all.
These people might have other intentions, so we have to be on guard.
A glint flashed across Lin Yushu's eyes, and he had already made up his mind: "Okay, let's discuss this later. You all know that I don't need these. If you have time to worry about my harem, you might as well go and see my ninth brother's backyard."
The Ninth Prince who was named was completely stunned. He stared at Lin Yushu with his round eyes wide open. It was not as if the imperial sister was unaware of his relationship with that damn eunuch Su Wuzheng, so why was she trying to shift the blame to someone else?
