The shameless female county magistrate shocked the government and the public

When the three words "Yu Wushuang" on the third place on the list came into view, the usually calm Yu Tao screamed irrationally:

"Ah! I got it! I got it!"

Yu Jiuer squeezed in and saw her brother's name at the top of the list. She smiled with relief.

She successfully entered the top three, fulfilled her brother's dream, and took over the important task of Yinshan!

Cheng An and Yu Tao looked at Yu Jiuer with tears in their eyes. This time, their eyes were no longer filled with contempt and distrust, but gratitude, admiration, and incredible shock!

They were so excited that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed like crazy. If they could make it into the top three, they would be able to continue to be the magistrate of Yinshan County.

God bless!

Finally, we don’t have to build the Great Wall!

Yu Jiuer looked at the two tearful people on the ground with a bit of disdain: "In public, can you please behave yourself?"

Yu Tao sobbed and kowtowed to Yu Jiuer: "You got it right in one try, you are really amazing!"

"Where have we come yet? The fun is yet to come!"

Yu Jiuer had a face full of secrecy. What she wanted was not just to help her brother pass the imperial examination.

The next day, the top three candidates in the palace examination entered the palace to meet the emperor.

They also have to accept the emperor's questioning, and then the emperor will select the top three.

Before entering the palace to meet the emperor, Yutao spent another 130 taels on preparations. Looking at her shrunken purse, Yu Jiuer felt a little angry.

Be patient, important things happen. Wait until she finishes the exam and see how she gets it back.

In the Jinluan Palace.

Yu Jiuer was originally calm and composed, and her steps were steady, but when she met Prince Jing's eyes, her heart unconsciously tightened and she almost panicked.

What a sharp gaze!

Dangerous person!

The current emperor has five sons, all of them are smart and capable, and the competition for the throne is extremely fierce. After years of fighting, Prince Jing was finally demoted to this remote corner of Yinshan Mountain and had no chance of becoming emperor. It is really a pity!

But this was none of her business. Calming her mind, Yu Jiuer concentrated on answering the emperor's questions.

The emperor's majestic voice rang out in the hall: "There are five countries in the world today, the Great East Dynasty, Southern Xinjiang, Western Regions, Northern Rong and Zhonghai Kingdom. Why can our Great East Dynasty stand firm among the five countries and be called the two most powerful countries in the world together with the Western Regions? Tell us what you think!"

The two students who passed the written test spoke one after another in an orderly manner.

However, Yu Jiuer was different. She used the historical experience she had learned in modern times and combined it with the original owner's understanding of this dynasty to express her own thoughts:

"The right time, right place, and right people have created the advantages of our Great East Dynasty. We and the Western Regions are both vast and rich in resources..."

After a thrilling question-and-answer session, witnessed by civil and military officials, the Emperor personally selected Yu Jiuer as the third place winner!

Yu Jiuer didn't show it on her face, but she was worried in her heart. It was obvious that her answer to the question that the emperor was most satisfied with, but she only got third place. This old emperor must be prejudiced against Yinshan County!

After expressing her gratitude, Yu Jiuer looked around deliberately.

The emperor frowned and reprimanded: "Yu Wushuang, to go far one must start from near, to climb high one must humble oneself! You took the exam three times before you passed, yet you underestimate yourself! I am still talking and you are ignoring etiquette and looking around, what crime should you be punished for?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Yu Jiuer knelt down with a plop, looking extremely terrified. "I was born in a cold and miserable place. I heard that the ministers' waist pendants are worth a fortune, so I am really curious. It is said that one of their waist pendants is worth several years of taxes paid by the people of Yinshan, so I can't help but want to take a look!"

"Are you condemning me and my subjects for our extravagance?" The emperor's brows were stern, and his majestic voice shook people's hearts.

"You are so bold! The previous emperor abolished slavery and signed the Yinshan Contract in order to make you self-reliant. It has been 20 years since slavery was abolished, and you can't even afford to eat and wear clothes. How dare you come here and cry poor?"

The emperor was angry, and the ministers were also worried.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Yu Jiuer leaned over, trying her best to suppress her pounding heart.

She was afraid that he wouldn't mention it. Since he did, she wouldn't be polite!

For Yinshan County, she is going to take a gamble!

Looking up again, Yu Jiuer had a pitiful expression on her face: "Your Majesty, there are more than 5,000 people in Yinshan County now, and 2,000 young and strong people are required to serve. How can the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled people be productive?

Back then, the late emperor showed mercy and established the Yinshan Contract to benefit the people. Today, the northwest is ravaged by sandstorms and the weather is bitterly cold year after year. Can the content of the contract be appropriately modified to suit the situation?"

She actually wanted to ask the emperor to abolish the Yinshan Contract so that the people of Yinshan would no longer be enslaved, but she had no negotiating capital now and was afraid that she would end up making things worse, so she had to settle for the next best thing.

"Are you blaming me for dereliction of duty?" The emperor's eyes widened and he looked very angry.

Everyone held their breath, and the throne room was eerily quiet.

“Wushuang dare not!”

Even though she had expected the emperor to be furious, her heart was still beating like a drum.

After adjusting her state, Yu Jiuer made up her mind and said,

"It's just that Yinshan County has now become the fief of Prince Jing. Prince Jing has fought for ten years and is a hero in the hearts of the people. It's bad enough that the hero's fief is cold and miserable, but it's also extremely poor. It's hard to even find a strong man to hoe the fields. Wushuang... I'm afraid that he will neglect his descendants and be recorded in history to be cursed by future generations!"

The last sentence was going to go against the world, so she unconsciously quickened her speaking speed.

This insinuation hit the nail on the head and was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the emperor.

At this moment, the emperor's face was frighteningly gloomy!

Yu Jiuer's heart trembled again and again, and she felt that the old emperor wanted to tear her into pieces.

She secretly regretted whether she was too impulsive.

But if I don’t seize the opportunity this time, I’m afraid I’ll never have another chance in the future!

She is just a nobody and she doesn’t know when she will meet the emperor again!

The emperor stared at Yu Jiuer for a long time, and when Yu Jiuer almost couldn't hold back, he finally spoke: "The third place winner is so young and inexperienced, yet he dares to say anything! If I don't reform, won't it chill the hearts of the people? Will it hurt the father-son relationship between me and Prince Jing? Will I be criticized by future generations?"

"Emperor calm down!"

The emperor lowered his eyes and thought, then said coldly, "It's not impossible to exempt the Yinshan people from military service... I'll give you one year. Within one year, if you can solve the problem of food and clothing for the Yinshan people, increase the population, and increase tax revenue, then I will temporarily cancel their military service. Otherwise, you'll just go and build the Great Wall!"

Yu Jiuer was stunned. The emperor was trying to trick her!

It sounds as if those who come back don’t have to eat or pay a head tax?

How many babies can you give birth to in a year? It's good enough if you don't die.

What can you do with such a short period of time?

Still temporarily?

So if they fail to meet the requirements in a certain year, will they still have to be drafted into the military?

She was unhappy in her heart, but she had to smile and express gratitude profusely.

It is not easy to get the skin of a tiger. She felt a layer of cold sweat on her back.

However, the conscripted men have to return to serve eventually. One year is just one year. Can it be a problem for a genius doctor like her?

She traveled through time with her brain!

After she has made some achievements, she will come back to negotiate with the emperor and abolish the unequal Yinshan Contract.

The atmosphere in the palace eased and the ministers felt relieved.

When everyone thought that Yu Jiuer would stop while she was ahead, she continued to make shocking remarks: "Thank you, Lord! Now the money that Wushuang spent to participate in the palace examination is not a loss!"

The emperor stood up immediately after hearing this and asked, "What? Someone in my imperial examination system is corrupt and accepting bribes?"

The emperor was furious again, and the ministers' anger, which had not yet subsided, became tense again.

Bribery in the imperial examinations has always existed, but no one has ever dared to mention it so openly in public in the Golden Palace. Isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor?

Sure enough, before the emperor said anything, the censors in the palace, who had been drooling for a long time, started to chatter.

The emperor kept rubbing his temples, and shouted in intolerance: "Investigate! Investigate for me!"

If he continues to complain like this, he might be accused of being a tyrant!

The ministers knelt down in fear and trepidation to appease the emperor, glaring at Yu Jiuer with resentment, wishing they could torture her to death in the hall!

Yu Jiuer is a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. Do you have the guts to chase her to the Northwest and chop her up?

She still thought the matter was not big enough, and added: "That's great! If the money can be returned, Wushuang will not be afraid of not having money to return to the people when he returns home! In order to take this exam, Yinshan has mobilized the entire county and taken out all the silver! The emperor is kind! No wonder the people say that the emperor is a rare and wise ruler in history."

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

The emperor snorted coldly: "These little things are worth the trouble for the third place scholar? Come here, the third place scholar has been rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver for reporting bribery in the imperial examination!"

Become!

Yu Jiuer's eyes lit up, she almost jumped for joy, and her heart couldn't help but beat fast.

He bowed his head to express his gratitude, with the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably. Ten thousand taels is equivalent to one million RMB in modern times. The people of Yinshan are saved!

The emperor was very angry and glared at his officials with gritted teeth.

A student of Dengke borrowed money from the people to bribe him, and even openly spoke out in the hall to challenge his bottom line, and was scolded by the censor.

If this matter gets out, where will his dignity be?

In a fit of anger, the emperor added, "It will come from my private account!"

The civil and military officials below became increasingly uneasy!

Yu Jiuer was still happy. Anyway, the fire couldn't burn her. She got a great bargain and it was so cool!

It’s just that the old emperor is a little stingy. It would be better if he could give more rewards. Yinshan County is too poor!

At this time, the princesses and princesses who were hiding in the dark and peeping couldn't help but secretly admire the Tanhua Lang.

No one had ever been able to make those self-righteous ministers in the Golden Palace so upset; no one dared to make the emperor so angry that he had to pay out of his own pocket to defend his dignity;

Asking for money is so reasonable, so cool!

In particular, the daughter of the emperor's younger sister, the eldest princess, Princess Qingyang, looked at the third place winner like a hunter eyeing his prey: "This young man is fearless, quite interesting!"

The third princess shook her head upon hearing this and looked at the third place winner with regret!

When Yu Jiuer inadvertently met Prince Jing's meaningful eyes, she was so scared that she quickly suppressed the corners of her mouth.
