Chapter 70 The Big Corrupt Official Appears



"If you can let such a country disappear, then it's fine." Ying Man smiled faintly. "My humble ability is limited. I can't be like the Queen, who knows so much, knows how to see the situation, and can also grasp the future of the country."

Wanwan sighed, and finally, gazing at this comic-book-like country, she finally compromised.

"Since this country is so beautiful, I'll protect you." Wanwan thought to herself, then she held the scepter and said, "Go and take care of your future husband first. I'll come back if there's anything else."

"Yes, sir."

Ying Man led the soldiers and saluted respectfully, "Farewell, Her Majesty the Queen."

Wanwan felt a chill on her back. She didn't like the way this name sounded. She was speechless. She had gained a country for nothing just to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

If she tells it to others, not only will others not believe it, she herself won’t believe it either.

After leaving the royal city, Wanwan opened the space-time portal. By the time they returned to the bedroom, it was already dark.

Her mother prepared some food, and the imperial kitchen also prepared some food. Wanwan was a little hungry and ate it in big mouthfuls.

While eating, he was still thinking, "Dad, what do you think they are missing?"

"There are many things missing. There are quite a few jewels and jades, but the clothes they wear are not very good. Look at that old woman, she looks like she comes from a very poor family."

Emperor Wu of Xia analyzed, "I took a quick look and found that they use a special currency for transactions. They don't trade in gold or silver. Gold and silver are worthless to them."

Wanwan nodded.

"They lack food, and many people may not have enough to eat. They also lack cloth and a range of daily necessities. Because areas with abundant precious metals usually don't grow well, their agriculture is not very developed. Their herbal medicines are also very limited."

Emperor Wu of Xia smiled and said, "Longyan State now has food. Preliminary estimates show that this year's grain production should be enough to feed all our people, and there will even be plenty left over. We also have silk and medicinal herbs. What we lack most happens to be gold. And medicinal herbs."

"So we can't let Wu Qiguo snatch this piece of fat meat away. We need to ensure mutual benefit between the two countries."

Wanwan showed off her white teeth when she smiled, her smile innocent and radiant. "By the way, Wu Qiguo has been very busy lately. The crown prince is rebelling, and he has to suppress it. He probably doesn't have much time to take care of the affairs of Yingguo."

"Yeah, wait until King Wu Qiguo has dealt with the crown prince, then we'll look back at our own training. There's no news from Yingguo yet. Finally, we'll do business with Yingguo. We'll make a fortune and even build up Yingguo's economic system. Wu Qiguo will be furious. Such a great country, but when he sees our Longyan Kingdom, he'll wag his tail like a dog. Hahaha..."

Wanwan's sweet laughter spread to every corner.

The children's laughter was very contagious. Emperor Wu of Xia and Empress Xian were in a particularly good mood when they heard the laughter. They couldn't help but laugh along.

Empress Xian couldn't help laughing when she looked at Emperor Wu of Xia. This man looked really good when he smiled.

He seemed to be gradually transforming from a tyrant into a kind father, and he became much gentler towards her.

"Slow down, you'll grab the food later."

Emperor Wu of Xia held Wanwan in his arms and fed her, "Okay, okay, don't analyze these things while eating."

Empress Xian was also confused, but after listening to their conversation, she roughly understood what was going on. She also understood that Wanwan had a space gate in her hand.

Although it seemed incredible, Wanwan had created more than just a few miracles for her.

The next morning, after waking up and washing up, she was once again called to the imperial study on time.

Perhaps he was a little annoyed from reviewing memorials, so he often read while eating pastries late at night.

Emperor Wu of Xia had originally complained that the child's concentration was really poor. At first, she was watching the movie obediently. Now, she would fall asleep while watching the movie from time to time.

As a result, when he saw the content of the memorial, he wanted to strangle the person who wrote it!

"Your Majesty, do you want to wake up the little princess?"

The Minister of War looked at Wanwan who was sleeping peacefully beside him, then looked at Emperor Wu of Xia who wanted to interrupt her sleep several times but couldn't bear it.

"Humph, it's because of all that bullshit you guys keep spouting all day that my little princess fell asleep. It makes me mad just thinking about it. You wrote over three thousand words just to tell me that the crickets in your backyard gave birth?"

Emperor Wu of Xia looked at the memorial Wanwan was reading and felt really sorry for her. No wonder she fell asleep while reading it. I am really impressed.

After reading so much, I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out to be all bullshit. The memorials these days are so confusing.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. I really don't have anything to report. I can only try to make Your Majesty and the little princess happy and greet them politely."

The Minister of War knelt down immediately. "What a sin! Being an official, they have to deal with these trivial matters all day long. They are scolded even if they report nothing. They are also scolded for writing sloppy memorials. There is absolutely no way out."

"Hmph, just a polite hello. You might as well not have written it."

Emperor Xia Wu used his hand to pop the saliva bubble in Wan Wan's mouth, then wiped her saliva with his hand and said, "I just don't believe that such a big Ministry of War really thinks that nothing happened at all?"

As for why I didn’t use a handkerchief, it was mainly because I was afraid that the handkerchief was too big and would wake Wanwan up.

It's really pitiful that even someone as smart as Wanwan couldn't escape the torture of long-winded nonsense.

I was woken up by the noise Wanwan, and turned to the other side dissatisfied and planned to go back to sleep.

[Oh, so noisy. My dad, he must have nothing to do. All he does is take bribes and do sneaky things, like withholding soldiers' cotton clothes or rations.]

Didn't you see those two soldiers shivering with cold when you were talking to them that day? You certainly don't know that the stuff inside wasn't cotton at all, but some special rags.

When Emperor Wu of Xia heard this, his heart ached for a moment. He suddenly remembered that when he was talking to those soldiers that day, he could see that they were trembling all over.

At that time, he thought that the two people were weak and the temperature was low.

turn out to be……

When Emperor Wu of Xia looked at the Minister of War again, his expression suddenly turned cold and murderous. "Mr. Minister of War, is there nothing else to do? Are the soldiers well clothed? Do they have enough food? Aren't these issues you should be concerned about? Do you just stay home and fight crickets every day?"

The Minister of War shuddered, his lips trembling. "Your Majesty, I have been concerned about the soldiers' food, clothing, and other expenses, but the national treasury has limited funds to spend. I really have no other choice."

Emperor Wu of Xia was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Fortunately, Wanwan had a space door that allowed him to go out and take a look.

Otherwise, in this Ghost Emperor Palace, you would have no idea what the prices outside are like. It would be impossible to govern a country well.

If he had not listened to Wanwan's concerns and learned about the market conditions and the soldiers' situation from his own experience, perhaps he would have given him money and let him buy cotton clothes for the soldiers.
