Chapter 1022: A fantasy before death?
Ling Yun's hands tightened as he felt the fear coming from Su Nuan.
Su Nuan has always been calm. In fact, she has been worried since she heard that time travelers would be cut off.
She also knew that there was no way to stop this kind of thing, so she could only wait silently for that day to come.
Su Nuan said quietly, "If all this is my fantasy before I died in my previous life, I hope this fantasy can have a perfect ending."
Ling Yun felt a tear in his heart when he heard this. He said firmly, "No, our world is real. Don't overthink it."
Su Nuan chuckled, "Well, I don't think about anything now, whether it's reality or fantasy, I hope everyone can be fine."
Ling Yun was in a very bad mood. If this was Su Nuan's fantasy before her death, then what was he?
Impossible, everything is so real, how could it be fake?
If it was a dying fantasy, why wasn't it his fantasy?
Can two fantasies still meet and create a new fantasy?
No no no… Impossible…
Ling Yun shook off the thoughts in his mind. He could give up everything, but he would never give up his wife.
The two of them hugged each other, seemingly peaceful and beautiful, but in fact, there were hidden emotions in their hearts.
Time passed quickly, and the two hugged each other until dawn.
Ling Yun asked with a dry throat: "Since there is nothing else, let's go to court together."
He wanted to find something to distract Su Nuan, otherwise she would start thinking about all sorts of things when she was idle.
Su Nuan nodded, "Alright, let's see what they say in the court."
When Ling Yun saw Su Nuan agreed, he immediately carried Su Nuan to wash and change clothes.
After breakfast, the two went to court hand in hand.
When Su Nuan arrived at the court, she was surprised to find Ling Haochen sitting on the dragon throne, looking at the memorials with a bitter face.
Ling Yun strode over, stretched out his hand, picked up his son and threw him to the ground, then said with a smile: "Wife, come and sit here."
Ling Haochen, "..." If you weren't my father, I would kill you.
Su Nuan walked over and sat down with Ling Yun. Glancing at her son sitting on the ground, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Does Chen'er like sitting on the ground so much?"
The perceptive palace maid quickly brought a chair and placed it next to the dragon table.
Ling Haochen climbed onto the chair angrily and sat down, his little face as dark as ink.
Four rows of ministers had already been standing in the court. Although they were very dissatisfied with women attending court, they did not dare to say anything when they saw how protective Ling Yun was of his wife.
Su Nuan looked at Ling Yun, "Is everyone here?"
Ling Yun nodded, "We're all here."
A clear bell rang outside.
When the ministers heard the bell, they stood up straight and knelt down in unison.
"Your Highness!"
Ling Yun waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. If you have anything to say, please report it."
A middle-aged man stood up from behind the first row and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, there is currently a shortage of arable land. Please send someone to survey the land as soon as possible, and I will lead the people in reclaiming it."
Ling Yun nodded, "Okay."
The minister immediately returned to his seat.
The young man in the second row stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I need iron ore to forge farm tools."
Ling Yun continued to nod, "Got it, next one."
Su Nuan thought they were all trivial matters and began to feel sleepy as she listened.
Being an emperor is so boring. I don’t know whether he is powerful or not. I just know that he is a warehouse manager who has to give his ministers whatever they want.
Su Nuan couldn't stand it anymore. She asked, "Can't they discuss these trivial matters themselves?"
Ling Yun looked at Ling Haochen, "Chen'er likes it."
Su Nuan looked at Ling Haochen and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Chen'er, you are still a masochist. These trivial matters waste so much time. Can you bear it?"
Ling Haochen stared at Su Nuan blankly, "Mom, this... isn't this... an heirloom?"
This is the process for others to become emperors, and those who became emperors later also followed this process. Is there anything wrong with that?
Su Nuan saw the bewildered look on his face and knew that he was imitating the actions of the previous emperor.
She thought for a moment, then looked at the ministers and asked, "Do you think it's necessary to discuss these trivial matters in court?"
The ministers looked at each other and dared not speak.
Su Nuan asked again: "Try not to talk about these trivial matters in the court. You can discuss how to deal with natural disasters and man-made disasters."
"From today on, you'll gather together the things you need and make a list. We have so much work to do right now, we don't have time to waste asking for things one by one."
"Also, who is in charge of the Ministry of Justice?"
An old man stepped forward and said, "I am in charge of the Ministry of Justice."
Su Nuan nodded. "You should set up an inspection team, train them in solving cases, and have them investigate various places. If anyone abuses their power for personal gain or violates the law, they should be sent to prison directly."
"The members of the inspection team must be carefully selected to avoid deceiving their superiors and concealing the truth from their subordinates."
The old man's eyes lit up. Right now, everything is in ruins and everyone is trying to take advantage of the situation. If there is this inspection team, those corrupt officials will find out where to hide.
"Yes, I will obey your command."
Ling Yun said loudly: "The Queen's words are equivalent to mine. Just obey her orders."
The "Imperial Edict" itself is gender-specific, and Ling Yun wants Su Nuan to be on equal footing with himself.
The ministers said in unison: "As you wish."
Su Nuan nodded and continued, "We are offering loans in terms of currency. If you are willing to reclaim land, you can borrow one silver coin for every ten acres of land you reclaim, and you will be exempt from interest for one year."
"There's no need to pay too much attention to the Chamber of Commerce. You don't need to worry about how much money goes into the treasury, just focus on how much money goes out."
"We are recruiting people with special occupations, such as prospecting, farming, and salt making... even those who can grow cabbages well are welcome."
"People like this need to be trained as teachers, so that more special talents can be taught."
A scholarly minister said, "Your Majesty, I disagree."
Su Nuan narrowed her eyes and looked over. "Who are you? What's your official position?"
The minister said, "I am Li Hanxin, the newly crowned number one scholar, and I now work in the Ministry of Rites."
Su Nuan nodded. "Li Hanxin, tell me why you disagree?"
Li Hanxin said seriously, "Every nation's rise must be based on orthodox culture. If someone who grows cabbages can become a teacher, how can we, who have studied so hard, cope with this?"
"We can't let those of us who are full of poetry and books be on good terms with those peasants who burn pianos and cook cranes!"
Su Nuan's face turned cold. "Tell me what kind of culture does the Sifang Kingdom need to rise? Are you asking everyone to put down their hoes and pick up their brushes?"
"You said they burned the zither and boiled the crane. When a person is facing starvation, what's wrong with burning the zither and boiling the crane to fill his stomach?"
"Do you think it's right to let the crane go and starve to death while holding the zither? Then from now on, just don't eat and hold the zither every day."
"As for whether you can get along with others, if you want to be alone, that's fine. There are people who are willing to get things done, which is much better than you showing off your politeness."
Li Hanxin's face flushed red as he stiffened his neck and said angrily, "How can a woman like you enter the imperial court? The ancestors will definitely blame you!"
The court suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, it was eerily quiet.
