"Yes, I have no guilt in making this assessment." Yan Shiyue said calmly, "My fairness lies in that even if in a case, the murderer is my benefactor and the victim is my enemy, I will never ignore the facts, forge evidence, or torture someone into confessing... I will not do these things that hinder the justice of the law, but my fairness has never been to tell everything I know at any time."
The fourth prince was silent for a long time: "Yuer, although it is meaningless, I still want to ask you one question. If it was the crown prince who asked you, would you say the same thing?"
"Fourth brother," Yan Shiyue said helplessly, "If what you are asking is whether I will tell you the 'truth' that I know, then I can answer you clearly, yes, I will not tell you."
The fourth prince raised his eyebrows slightly.
She said, "For me, this matter is not about whether Qu Sinian is my man, or whether I am close to you or my brother... In this matter, I value two factors. First, the severity of the matter, and second, my understanding and position... rather than my judgment. Do you understand?"
The fourth prince frowned.
Her ideas are always different from others.
But this matter, to be frank, is not a big deal. The husband has his own reasons and the wife has her own reasons. Without evidence, it will end up in nothing. But the good thing for Qu Sinian is that he has completely broken off his relationship with Jin Hejiao and at the same time eliminated future troubles.
How angry Jin Heqiao was was not something that Lord Qu considered.
Although Si Mao has now become the Ministry of Commerce and its rank has been upgraded, it still has a small number of people and he has to do everything himself most of the time. So when Ren Zenan came, he even skipped the process of returning home in glory and was brought to the Ministry of Commerce to gain experience so that he could get the hang of things as soon as possible.
...
...
His master sneered at this: "I'm so sorry, I didn't realize he was your long-lost brother."
Ren Zenan: “…”
The newly-minted and extremely talented Tanhua scholar said that he did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
Qu Sinian accepted it well: "Why? Is this not right?"
"I can't say whether it's right or not. I just think it's a bit difficult to teach him step by step. We should let things teach him. Don't worry about failure. Anyway, if he fails the assessment during the six-month probation period and is kicked out by our Business Department, it will be a good hype point! It means that our Business Department is more demanding than the six departments. I've even thought of the promotional copy. The best talent may not be a successful businessman!"
Ren Zenan: “…”
A little panicked.
No, I was very panicked...
Fortunately, the Prime Minister changed the subject: "But I believe that the third place winner must have the ability to ask himself to stay, right?"
Ren Zenan hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "I will do my best."
"Well," Yan Shiyue said, "It just so happens that I have something that needs someone to do. You also know that many of the things that Simao used before, such as the Yuwen cart and the tumbler stage cart, were first made by the craftsmen of Yuefang, and then taught to the workshops of the Ministry of Industry. But the Yuwen cart is ultimately my Yuefang's product, so it's okay to teach them, but after that, the things that come out of the Ministry of Commerce will be things that don't exist in the world, so Yuefang will be inconvenient to participate."
"Our Ministry of Commerce needs a research and development team. Do you understand research and development? So, what I mean is that you go and coordinate with the Ministry of Industry to recruit a group of such people. These people will belong to our Ministry of Commerce in the future and cannot return to the Ministry of Industry. However, these people must be excellent, and those who just want to get by are not welcome. That's it."
Qu Sinian frowned slightly. He was a little worried about asking Ren Zenan to do this.
He was greatly influenced by Yan Shiyue, and he didn't have the airs of an official who couldn't do everything himself, so he said, "This needs to be discussed with the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Shangshu needs to submit it to the court for approval. I'll do it. The follow-up work of the glass workshop and the cement work on hand can be handed over to Zenan."
He stood up and said, "I will discuss this with Wenqu first. Zenan, you go first, and we will make a detailed handover tomorrow."
Ren Zenan quickly stood up and responded, then walked out.
He felt that both superiors were very friendly, straightforward and to the point, and were totally unlike the officials he had met before. He thought that the days ahead would be very pleasant.
Over there, Yan Shiyue remembered and reminded him, “Oh, Sinian, write a memorial and ask for a new law, that is, if the products of the state-owned business of the Ministry of Commerce are not copied by anyone without the official document of the court… Anyway, that’s the idea.”
Qu Sinian nodded in agreement and went to find Xu Wenqu.
Yan Shiyue went to the palace the next day.
After Emperor Ming Yan came home from the morning court, he saw her following him, giving him instructions.
He knew Yan Shiyue's personality very well. If there was something, she would not delay at all. As soon as she came in, she would get straight to the point and finish what she said quickly.
If you want to ask him for something, you will act cute and try to please him as soon as you come in, serving him tea and water... But like now, you are being clingy and saying nothing. This means you haven't been to him for a long time, so you want to come and rub against him in a coquettish way.
Emperor Ming Yan touched her head and let her pull his sleeves and hug his arms for a while before he asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Shiyue sighed: "Father, I found that I really don't know how to employ people."
He hummed, and she continued, "When my mother gave me Linlang, I asked her to help with the housekeeping. It was not until now that I realized that she is good at taking care of people. She takes care of me and the children with great care and consideration. No one else can compare to her."
"And Qu Sinian, he is obviously a man who is good at scheming, but I asked him to be in charge of trade and commerce, and Ren Zenan, he is obviously a businessman, but I asked him to coordinate with others. I really just asked him to do it when I happened to have something to do and someone I could find. I never think about what this person is good at, what he is not good at, and what position he is suitable for..."
Emperor Mingyan smiled and said, "It means you don't have enough talented people around you."
Yan Shiyue was stunned.
Emperor Ming Yan said: "If, when Si Mao was just being planned, you already had Qu Sinian and Ren Zenan by your side, and both of them were trusted by you, who would you let take charge?"
Yan Shiyue was stunned: "Yes!"
Emperor Mingyan said: "In this regard, even Wu Lang is much better than you! He has been in the Ministry of Rites for not long, and he has many useful people around him!"
Yan Shiyue always felt that there was something behind his words, but this was not something she was good at, so she didn't ask: "But everyone around me is a good person!"
"Those who don't agree with you are bad people! You won't even accept them when they are delivered to your door!" Emperor Ming Yan said with a smile: "I have already told you that even if they are really bad people, you can use them. It depends on how you use them!"
She pouted, and Emperor Mingyan smiled and patted her face gently: "I know you can't change your temper. I promise you, if the person you like wants to be transferred to the Ministry of Commerce, just come and ask me, and save up money slowly by yourself!"
