What is Mugalo best at?
painting!
To be precise, it's about drawing maps!
She was able to draw almost 1:1 maps based on materials and sketches borrowed from the Ministry of War.
Even Xie Yuan, a blogger who experienced the information explosion of later generations, couldn't help but marvel at this.
The other female officials also praised Mugaluo, saying she truly deserved to be called the daughter of a military family.
This talent for reading maps is something not everyone possesses.
In this day and age, without satellites or navigation, the importance of maps is self-evident.
Many generals who lead troops into battle are skilled in horsemanship and archery, as well as military strategy; they are outstanding in all aspects.
But the only problem is a lack of direction. Once on the battlefield, they get lost and can't find the enemy even after leading a large army for a long time. No matter how strong their abilities are, it's all for nothing.
Dugu Yong took out a map to "test" Mu Jialuo, clearly with ulterior motives.
Unfortunately, Mugalo was no ordinary person; this was precisely what she excelled at.
"That's why Minister Dugu is such a good person!"
Xie Yuan chuckled to himself.
Mugalo, barely suppressing his excitement, feigned hesitation and asked, "A map?"
"That's right! I, Dugu Yong, am a straightforward person and don't like to dredge up old grievances. As long as you can understand this picture, I'll be impressed!"
Dugu Yong said this with great pride.
Actually, it's not just that he doesn't like bringing up the past.
Even the ministers in the imperial court were getting a headache after hearing Xie Yuan, Nanling, and others talk about a lot of numbers today.
They are capable ministers who guide the nation and handle important national affairs, not accountants. Why would they bother with these things every day?
It's hateful that Empress Xie seems to enjoy doing this; she just wants to prove something through these trivial and petty matters.
Hmph, what does being able to do accounting prove?
What's so great about being able to memorize old materials?
It's still best to cut through the mess quickly, like Dugu Yong did.
I'm impressed that you can read a map!
If you don't understand, then don't bother with these useless things. Women should just go wherever they want to go!
Mu Jialuo was confident, but she still habitually looked up and glanced at Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan smiled and nodded at her.
have to!
Since Her Majesty the Empress has spoken, then Mu Jialuo should give it her all.
It's also to let these men know that women are just as good as anyone else.
Mugalo took the map and began to speak eloquently.
She not only easily identified the direction, but also described the mountains and rivers.
In addition, based on several key place names on the map, she directly identified the location of the map and even mentioned several major battles that had taken place in that location in the last thirty years.
Leaving aside ordinary court officials, even the three prime ministers, Wang, Cui, and Zheng, were quite amazed by what they saw.
The military leaders, led by the Mu family, held their heads high and chests out—
See? This is what you call a family tradition of learning!
If even our little girl has such talent, then the men in the family must be even more so!
I'm so proud!
I'm so proud!
The generals, who had kept a low profile during peacetime, were now all smug.
But after the excitement, there was a lingering sense of regret: Alas, Jialuo is so capable and has a talent for reading maps, why isn't he a man?
Mugalo: ...
What happened to the woman?
Am I not standing in the imperial court right now, showcasing my talents to the fullest?
Dugu Yong was completely dumbfounded.
It's just a small map, how come this young lady from the Mu family can talk about so many things?
She could also recall past battles with ease.
From the number of troops deployed, to the strategic arrangements during the decisive battle, to issues such as the transportation of provisions and logistical supply routes, etc.
If Dugu Yong wasn't absolutely certain that the young woman in front of him couldn't possibly participate, he would have suspected that Mu Jialuo's familiarity with the place stemmed from personal experience.
Clothes!
As Dugu Yong had said, he was indeed a straightforward person.
As a military general, he valued "strength" the most.
In the military camp, the capable ones eat meat, while the incapable ones don't even get to drink soup.
This is all normal!
Mugalo, although she is a woman, has such a skill in reading maps that she would be a real talent in the military camp!
Calling him a treasure wouldn't be an exaggeration.
What a pity!
She was a woman; there was no way she could fight on the battlefield.
I am now able to speak eloquently in the imperial court, thanks to the Empress.
What future? Sigh, what future is there?
The empress herself was the temporary regent.
Once the Emperor returns from his campaign, the Empress will also have to retreat to the inner palace!
While sighing inwardly, Dugu Yong solemnly cupped his hands towards Mu Jialuo, saying, "Minister Mu, Dugu Yong is completely convinced!"
Mugalo: ...
I... I was actually bowed to by a general in public and told he admired me?
Mugalo felt her heart pounding, and she was in a state of inexplicable excitement.
"General, you flatter me. I, Jialuo, am unworthy of such praise!"
Since the other party was willing to accept defeat, Mugalo was not a petty person, so she politely exchanged a few words.
Dugu Yong returned to the ranks and no longer charged into battle alongside the Minister of Revenue.
Minister of Revenue: ...Aren't you just leaving me all alone here?
Um, if I faint now, will it be too late?
Cui Hong saw all of this.
Although he was intent on finding fault, he wasn't some senile old fool who only knew how to hold a grudge.
"We lost! We lost this round!"
Realizing this, Cui Hong closed his eyes slightly.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and exchanged glances with the two gentlemen, Wang and Zheng, beside him.
