Chapter 401 The Real Princess Has a Gossip System (9)
As Wangyou and Xiaogua talked, the noise in the court gradually subsided. Wangyou pretended not to see it and focused on reading the melon of this pedantic scholar.
[He really is a hypocrite. He acts all high and mighty in public, but when he's home, he doesn't do anything for his family. He just preys on fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls. I should castrate him!]
[Host, this is good. I've never seen a living person castrated before. This kind of person doesn't even deserve to be called human. He actually built a secret room in his own home to specifically hunt down teenage girls. Anyone in his household with even a little bit of beauty couldn't escape this old bastard's clutches.]
Nangong Sheng waved his hand, and his secret guards quickly sprang into action.
"Your Majesty, I hereby impeach Lord Liu for abducting and trafficking young girls; his actions are utterly inhumane..."
Anyway, she just rambled on and on, but Wangyou wasn't really listening because she was looking at other gossip right now.
[My royal uncle turns out to be a good person, and a rare talent for command. On the day his country was destroyed, he chose death over surrender, a man of unwavering integrity. His love life, however, was incredibly bumpy. He liked a girl but dared not confess, and the girl herself was too shy to approach him directly. And so, they simply missed each other.]
Absolutely! Having a good tongue is so important.
[Yes, just like the Prime Minister, who verbally abused the enemy commander until he vomited blood. Honestly, I really want to see how sharp his tongue is.]
[Host, you'd better not watch anymore. After all, your father is the emperor and your brother is the crown prince. Try to save them if you can.]
"You're right, but besides being good at martial arts and poison making, I don't know anything else!"
[Host, you don't need to know how. Look, you've received points for just observing these past few times. You can use those points to exchange for high-yield grain seeds and iron smelting technology in the system shop. Later on, as your development progresses, you can even exchange for cannons!]
Open it and let me see.
Wangyou closed the melon-eating interface, opened the system shop, and then looked at the grain seeds first.
[These things mentioned here—potatoes, sweet potatoes, kudzu root, yams—I've seen them all before! These are high-yield grains!]
[Yes, the grains in the mall are all top-quality varieties. Potatoes and sweet potatoes can yield several thousand kilograms per mu, and kudzu and yam yield at least a thousand kilograms. Although these things exist in your world, they are not cultivated on a large scale, so the yields certainly cannot compare to these superior seeds.]
【You're right, but how do I hand over the rice I've redeemed? Also, this rice seed has a very high yield, but won't the yield decrease over time?】
Of course we can. Providing seeds is just the starting point; the rest requires everyone's joint efforts.
Let me see if there are any officials or their relatives in our Great Yu Dynasty who are suitable for farming.
Wangyou herself didn't really want to farm, and besides, she had limited talent in farming, so she decided not to force herself to do it.
[The second daughter of Censor-in-Chief Zhou has never been interested in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting; she only loves gardening. And her plants grow remarkably well. She even developed her own low-grade plant growth solution. What a talent! The Ministry of Agriculture must be desperately seeking someone like her.]
The people in the court looked at the Imperial Censor, who suddenly became exceptionally proud. Because his second daughter often dealt with plants, she didn't like to participate in flower viewing parties or the like. Now, let's see who dares to look down on his daughter.
At the head of the table, Nangong Sheng raised the issue of grain production in a seemingly serious manner, and then the Imperial Censor naturally brought up his daughter, the whole process was incredibly smooth.
Wangyou smiled. It was resolved without her saying anything; that was good.
[Host, why do you never look at people's private information or anything like that?]
[You said it yourself, that's privacy. I don't have a penchant for checking other people's privacy. Everyone has things they don't want others to know; put yourself in their shoes.]
The ministers, who had various quirks in private, were suddenly extremely grateful to Princess Zhaoyang for not embarrassing them in public.
[This Imperial Censor Cui is too poor. I remember that the Yu Dynasty was not very poor either. He should have received a lot of salary. How come, apart from his official robe, all his clothes underneath are patched?]
So you like to stand up for what's right and help others, huh? Well, I'll respect other people's fate and not interfere with their hobbies.
The ministers then looked at Imperial Censor Cui. The annual salary in the Yu Dynasty was not low. Although there were social obligations, it was unbelievable that all the clothes except the official robes were patched.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Imperial Censor Cui lowered his head. Some people wondered how this man had managed to turn himself into a penniless pauper after standing up for what was right.
Nangong Sheng was also very curious, and naturally, he sent someone to investigate.
The results of the investigation were truly speechless. Just as Wangyou said, we should respect other people's fates. However, Nangong Sheng will no longer give this person an important position.
This Imperial Censor Cui likes to help this person and that person, but he never sees his frail wife and mother at home. He even uses the money his wife and mother worked so hard to earn to help others. This kind of person is just a hypocrite.
Some people wanted to help the old woman and her wife of Imperial Censor Cui, but the two women were completely incapable of being helped, and even turned around and bit those who tried to help them. Over time, no one helped them anymore.
There's always a reason why someone is pitiful!
After that, Wangyou began to get up early to attend court. She only looked at gossip and nothing else, only whether a person was useful or harmful to the country. She was too lazy to look at anything else. After half a year, the court was finally purged.
The grain seeds that Wangyou casually handed over also yielded a huge harvest in the hands of the Ministry of Agriculture, ensuring that the soldiers would not go hungry in future campaigns.
As for high-yield rice and wheat seeds, there is still a long way to go. Wangyou and Xiaogua exchanged for a complete guide to plant cultivation. After all, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
The golden tabby and mastiff that Wangyou brought back from the Hundred Beasts Garden have grown quite a bit. After the court was cleaned up, Wangyou's daily routine became walking around town with Little Golden and Little Black.
At first, the people were very scared, but they got used to it and would occasionally feed them.
And so, three years passed slowly.
In three years, the Yu Dynasty could be said to have developed into a powerful and prosperous nation, with its people living in peace and contentment, and it no longer feared any other country.
Someone in the Ministry of Works had a sudden inspiration. Seeing the fireworks explode, they wondered if increasing the proportion of the ingredients could be used for other purposes. That's how the bomb was born, although it was not very stable at first.
Before the New Year, the Northern Rong invaded, and the newly minted bombs taught them a lesson, driving their leader deep into the grasslands. They won't dare to invade again for at least ten years.
Over the years, people have gradually come to realize that Wangyou probably knows they can hear her thoughts, but both sides tacitly pretend not to know.
Two more years passed, and the time came when the previous cycle of the Yu Dynasty was destroyed.
[We've finally passed the point of national annihilation!]
