Chapter 359 [Professional Team]
"We just need to find a reason to force His Majesty to keep you immediately, or, if Princess Roujia does something wrong within these two months..."
Master Xue made a gesture as if he was wiping his neck.
Xue Wei's eyes widened. His father was really his father. The court struggles in ancient times were really life-threatening at any time.
He calmed down and said, "I'll think of a way."
Even if there was no obstacle like Princess Roujia, if he performed normally in the palace examination, he would have started as the Minister of the Imperial College or the Editor of the Hanlin Academy, one is equivalent to the Director of the Academic Affairs Office of the Imperial College, and the other is equivalent to the Emperor's secretariat.
If you want to be promoted quickly, you must demonstrate absolutely superior political achievements.
These ancient people did not have as much knowledge as modern people, but their brains and minds were no less than modern people, so he still had to be involved in factional disputes.
Although Xue Wei had been nurtured by his family's sensible ways and understood the ways of the world, these court officials had been worldly-wise for many years. After the imperial examination, his poems and essays on paper were no longer enough to be admired.
He now has support from all sides, and the situation should not be so passive.
There must be a way. He needs to find an opportunity to break the deadlock.

Unlike the twists and turns on Xue Wei's side, Jiang Lili and his team began to build the Mi Kingdom, and the progress was very smooth.
The first thing is to change the original scattered production model in each pastoral area.
Lu Renjia helped Jiang Lili and others replan the pasture areas and grazing routes according to seasonal weather and grassland conditions to avoid grassland degradation caused by overgrazing. With the help of an organized modern think tank providing off-site assistance and advice, everything went smoothly.
In building grassland fences, transfer roads, and sheds, they not only had the help of the navy and the Xin family army, but also Sanya's 3,000 foreign soldiers, and their progress was much faster.
These 3,000 soldiers have all survived the desert. They are hardworking and strong, and can be used like cattle. Three meals a day can satisfy them, making them a very cost-effective labor force.
As a "hostage", Su Rui cannot show up in public, and the relationship between him and Jiang Lili cannot be exposed for the time being.
Jiang Lili gave him a task, which was to draw the route map and power distribution of the Hena Desert.
Su Rui was heartbroken when he learned that Sangya had only asked Jiang Lili how she would deal with him in the future, and she never mentioned him again, nor did she want to visit him.
I can only turn sadness into motivation and work hard.
The group worked enthusiastically towards a goal. In just half a month, plans for each pastoral area were in place and construction was on track as planned.
Jiang Lili has already planned to issue a new currency system in Mi Country. The cost of gold, silver and coins is too high, so plastic-wrapped paper notes are just right. First, no one except Jiang Lili and his team can make the plastic wrap, and second, plastic-wrapped paper notes are easy to carry and not easily worn out.
The plastic-wrapped paper coupons were used to pay the salaries of herders and soldiers, and could be used to purchase daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc. in official stores in the Kingdom of Mi.
Just when Jiang Lili was very busy, some bad news came from Asakusa Ranch. Two groups of herders started fighting!
When Jiang Lili and her men arrived, they found a familiar face among the parties fighting, Xi Chengyun from Haibei Ranch.
Jiang Lili quickly asked him, "What's going on?"
Xi Chengyun wiped the wound on his face with his sleeve. "Goddess, those thirty-two horses we recovered are sick. And they're affecting the other livestock on the ranch!"
After the herders of Haibei Ranch found the herd of horses from the king, they discovered that the horses were not in good condition, so they handed them over to Asakusa Ranch, which was closest to the royal city.
There are three herdsmen at Asakusa Ranch who come from a family of equine doctors and are good at treating horses.
As a result, the condition of these horses did not improve when they arrived at Asakusa Ranch, but instead became worse, with symptoms of high fever and diarrhea.
Recently, the horses and sheep at Asakusa Ranch have also shown symptoms of high fever and diarrhea.
Now the herders in both pastoral areas are very angry and conflicts have arisen.
The herders of Asakusa Ranch believed that the horses brought by the herders of Kaibei Ranch were destroying their ranch.
The herders of Haibei Ranch believe that they spent a lot of money to entrust their horses to the equine doctor of Haibei Ranch, but the equine doctor not only failed to take good care of the horses, but also failed to find out what was wrong with them. Now that problems have arisen, he blames them.
Neither side was convinced, so they just started fighting each other.
Jiang Lili helplessly looked at the two injured people fighting. "So, have you come to a conclusion now? Who is right and who is wrong?"
The herders from the two pastoral areas looked at each other and said, "If neither of us is at fault, then it must be those foreigners from the desert who are responsible!"
Jiang Lili raised her eyebrows in surprise: "What does this have to do with aliens?"
Xi Chengyun explained to Jiang Lili, "There's a rumor circulating in every pastoral area that these foreigners from the desert are ominous people who bring bad luck."
"The foreign soldiers who were installing the fence at Asakusa Ranch today were also blocked from entering the ranch by the ranchers."
Xi Chengyun's temper has not been as impulsive since he visited the Moon Tribe. This time he did not come to fight, but to persuade them to stop.
After he heard the two groups of herdsmen come to the conclusion that the foreigners were ominous and brought misfortune to the livestock, he spoke a few words in favor of the desert foreigners, which aroused hatred from both sides, who thought he was protecting the foreigners.
Xi Chengyun has seen how hard the foreigners have been working these days. After interacting with the Moon people, he now understands that he should not be prejudiced against people from other ethnic groups.
"I see."
After hearing Xi Chengyun's words, Jiang Lili's eyes flashed with understanding. These herders of Mi Country depended on the weather for their livelihood and were indeed somewhat superstitious. Otherwise, they wouldn't have believed in her as a goddess so much.
Science dispels superstition, step by step.
Jiang Lili took out a bamboo whistle and blew it. After a while, an eagle appeared in the sky and slowly landed beside Jiang Lili.
The arrival of the eagle calmed the excitement of the herdsmen on both sides. They looked at Jiang Lili with respect and awe.
Jiang Lili wrote a small note and pointed in a direction to Xiongying Liefeng: "Go and call them over for me, the sooner the better. I'll give you canned food when you come back."
Liefeng immediately flew away happily.
Jiang Lili said to the herders who had calmed down, "Take me to the pasture to see what's going on first. Reinforcements will be here soon."
Jiang Lili's words were very effective. The herdsmen at Asakusa Ranch immediately took her to see the sick horses and sheep.
The veterinarians at Asakusa Ranch are very busy at this time.
When someone saw Jiang Lili coming, they couldn't help but ask, "Goddess, can you also heal animals?"
Jiang Lili shook her head: "No."
“But I have a professional team.”
