When he thought about it, Kong Lingda felt a burning pain on his face.
I was actually slapped in the face by this female tyrant who only knew how to cultivate immortality!
His face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "I am guilty, and I will never escape the blame even if I die!"
Kong Lingda's actions seemed to have triggered some chain reaction.
Crash!
In the court, a large group of people knelt down at once, all kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, we are incompetent, and we hope to teach you."
Ah, this...
Yan Jiaoran was a little surprised.
Today, the crowd reacted really quickly...
Before she even started scolding, they all knelt on the ground and admitted their mistakes.
This really caught her off guard.
She could only say bitterly, "You guys are so pedantic and inflexible."
"I have a plan that can easily break the situation, and that is—"
“Work-for-relief!”
Work-for-relief?
All the civil and military officials in the hall were stunned. What kind of plan was this?
The Minister of Revenue, Ying Wuyong, hurried out and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the policy of using work in lieu of relief?"
After all, disaster relief matters were mostly under the jurisdiction of his Ministry of Revenue. If he didn't ask clearly and misunderstood the meaning, he would lose his head.
Yan Jiaoran looked up at Ying Wuyong and said calmly, "It's very simple. The court pays for the money and lets the victims work."
"This way, we can ensure that the victims don't become lazy, and the court can also make some money. It's the best of both worlds."
Ying Wuyong pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "But Your Majesty, there's not much silver left in the treasury..."
Yan Jiaoran glanced up and said, "Look for the wealthy people in the city to raise funds."
“But…but…”
Ying Wuyong was about to say something when he was ruthlessly interrupted by his colleague behind him.
"Your Majesty is right. This is a matter of vital importance to the people's livelihood in the Great Zhou. I believe the wealthy families will be generous in making donations!"
"Your Majesty is truly a genius, to have come up with such a method that achieves multiple goals at once!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"If Your Majesty had not been born, our Great Zhou would have been in darkness forever..."
“…”
In the court, there was an endless stream of boasting, one after another.
Yan Jiaoran is almost being praised as a figure who can be compared with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
So much so that Yan Jiaoran knew that most of these people had bad intentions.
But I still couldn't help feeling happy and elated.
It feels so good to pretend to be cool.
Although this method has nothing to do with him, it came from Qin Yuan.
But who let this bastard take advantage of me?
He even called me a tyrant.
I did not pursue him and chopped off his head, which was already a sign of my great grace and magnanimity.
As for the reward...
Let’s wait until this bastard has done a great job.
Otherwise, humph!
Thinking of this.
Yan Jiaoran spoke again, setting the tone: "Since these disaster victims have gathered in Jingzhou Prefecture, the work-for-relief program will be fully entrusted to Jingzhou Prefecture."
ah? !
Ying Wuyong was stunned for a moment, completely unable to come back to his senses.
This happiness comes too suddenly, doesn’t it?
Right now.
Chen Wujiu, who was mixed in the crowd, was completely confused. Such a big thing should not have fallen on their Jingzhou Prefecture!
"Where is the Jingzhou prefect?"
Yan Jiaoran waited for a long time but no one responded, so she immediately urged.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty is here!"
Chen Wujiu woke up as if from a dream and rushed out in a hurry.
Yan Jiaoran narrowed her eyes, her murderous intent etched in her eyes: "If anything goes wrong with the disaster relief efforts, I'll hold you, the Jingzhou Prefecture, responsible!"
