Just as Zi 'er was about to leave, the current Emperor thought for a moment and said,"" Zi 'er, you'd better go and ask for me. Go and give it a try. What if it succeeds…"
" Hiss…" Zi-er sucked in a breath of cold air on the spot." Your, Your Majesty, you, really want Zi 'er to go…"
Did you really want to anger Scholar Mu to death by asking me to pass the message?
Looking at Zi 'er's expression, the current Emperor began to get angry again."What's wrong? Is my request too much? I'm doing this for his own good…"
"Your Majesty, I think it's better if you don't…"
His Majesty did not insist anymore.
Instead, she began to feel angry in her heart.
The empress's face was still stern even during the morning court session the next day.
All the officials in the royal court could see this and looked at each other. They didn't know why the Emperor had such a dark expression so early in the morning, but they didn't dare to provoke him.
After that, when an official saw that Scholar Mu did not attend the morning court session, his heart skipped a beat. He understood that the Emperor's anger might have something to do with Scholar Mu.
Then, the officials continued to argue and discuss as usual. As for the Emperor's mood?
If it wasn't good, then so be it. He deserved it.
He had even angered Scholar Mu to the point of fainting yesterday. He had only himself to blame.
Wasn't it normal for Scholar Mu not to come to court?
After all, he had fainted yesterday.
Time flew by.
Soon, the officials could not sit still.
Scholar Mu had not come to court for three days.
This was not a good sign…
In the Imperial Palace, in the cabinet.
"Your Majesty, Scholar Mu is still in the Ministry of Works…He studies all day and night, studying dossiers.”Zi-er said helplessly.
Hearing Zi 'er's words, the Water Empress smiled and said,""I understand that he is angry that I don't care about anything and want to do it myself. However, there are too many things in the world that I can't handle.”
The empress wasn't the only one who knew about this news. All the civil and military officials knew about it as well. They were both speechless and amused.
Marquis Mu, this is too straightforward…"
" This, this is because he's angry at His Majesty…He made us speechless…"
"Even if he's angry, it shouldn't be that bad. If he were to personally study the dossiers of the world, then the world wouldn't be so difficult to govern if he could find a solution by studying the dossiers.”Wei Ge also laughed in private. He was speechless. The latter was like this, stubborn.
To put it nicely, he was worried about the country and the people. To put it bluntly, he was iron-headed.
But…
Wei Ge let out a long sigh in his heart. If there was a way, if he could persuade the current Emperor, why would the current Marquis take such a path?
He had recently heard that Marquis Mu was studying late at night, just like when he was about to be beheaded. He did not relax at all, and he was the type who would do his best and vomit blood…
If His Majesty could be more reliable, would it have come to this?
The Marquis was only worried about the world. However, this seemingly small goal had become as difficult as ascending to the heavens because of the current Emperor. No matter what, he had to do it himself. He could only do it himself. If he didn't do it, the world would suffer. The world would still be the one who couldn't be helped.
This was because the Emperor who was supposed to govern the world was unreliable. He was addicted to cultivation and unreliable.
Wei Ge seemed to understand the latter's feelings.
"Why do you have to do this…Sigh, is fate wrong?"”
Wei Ge didn't know what to think. In the end, he could only sigh.
The Emperor had also thought of this. After she thought of it, she fell silent for a long time. In the end, she did not say anything.
……
Ministry of Works.
Mu Yu was flipping through a dossier.
After reading it for a few days and having a photographic memory, Mu Yu had a clearer and deeper understanding of the situation in the Ministry of Works.
For example, which areas were prone to floods, which areas had average harvests, which areas were prone to earthquakes, and some more detailed matters, down to which county lacked agricultural equipment…
Mu Yu looked at it and felt that there was still a long way to go. Just the Ministry of Works alone made Mu Yu feel that there were many old things that were hard to imagine.
If he had to deal with it alone, it would be impossible for him to clear the obstacles.
There was only one way to deal with these long-standing problems, and that was to improve the state of the Great Luo so that the officials would have the energy and ability to deal with them! In other words, once the Great Luo recovered, these chronic illnesses would naturally disappear.
Therefore, he directly skipped over these questions that were neither big nor small and continued to read.
Now, it had finally succeeded.
He lived in the Ministry of Works for three days, reading and eating during the day, and studying hard at night.
He had finally found the first chronic disease of the current era.
Mu Yu took a deep breath.
At the same time, the system notification came.
"Ding, you have completed the mission. You have received the following reward.”
" 1: Lifespan 50."
" 2. Martial arts talent 50."
"3: Strength 5."
" 4: Charm 1."
" 5: Temperament 1."
"6: You have unlocked the achievement, read at night: Reading at night would increase reading efficiency by 20%.。”
"7: Great Fall's chronic illness, the world's fire consumption solution.”
With the system's reward, Mu Yu's heart had finally been filled with all the details.
"I see. Fire consumption. I see. The problem actually appeared in this segment.”With the system's explanation, Mu Yu suddenly understood.
Here, it was necessary to talk about the Great Luo's tax system. The tax silver collected was the same as that of the ancient dynasties of Huaxia. Because it was not easy to manage, they had to be smelted and turned into large silver before handing it over to the national treasury. During the smelting, there would be losses, and this loss would be counted on the heads of the commoners. In other words, in addition to the normal tax, the commoners had to increase taxes.
The imperial court did not care about this, so there was more room for maneuver.
If the officials reported more fire consumption taxes, then every citizen would have to pay more money, and this money would fall into the pockets of the officials.
Although a few taels of silver did not seem like a lot, it was still an unimaginable amount when accumulated in the entire Great Luo. Mu Yu calculated it slightly and gasped in shock.
At this moment, more of the system's 'reward knowledge' was injected into Mu Yu's mind, and it also replenished the memories related to the Fire Consumption in his previous life.
Mu Yu gasped.
In the 61st year of the Kangxi reign, the national treasury of the ancient Chinese dynasty was only eight million taels of silver.
After a series of reforms, including the Fire Consumption Reforms, in just thirteen years, the national treasury had reached an incredible 60 million taels of silver. This was not only the credit of the Fire Consumption, but also a large proportion of it.
" I see…" Mu Yu's mind was completely clear.
This was a terrifying expenditure. If this could be dealt with, the burden on the people of the Great Luo would be reduced by at least 30%. It would be a good thing for the world and the people.
"Milord, have you gained anything?" Zuo Qingshang said from the side.
"Yes!" Mu Yu nodded.
The next day.
Qing Dynasty.
The hearts of the officials moved slightly.
The Marquis, who had not attended court for a few days, finally came.
