After Qin Zi finished calling for court, she saw Luo Shi playing with the panda out of boredom.

"Have you finished your class?"

He didn't look back either.

"I'm not cut out to be a teacher. I can only talk to them about the national philosophy and so on. It's better not to teach math and chemistry, which are things that make people bald. "

"How's the court doing? Are they still arguing?"

Qin Zipao rubbed his aching head.

"Everyone in the court is now deciding on the next prime minister. No matter what, the old prime minister is already old. If he continues like this, his health will collapse."

Luo Shi touched his chin and said, "Do you want to promote a prime minister yourself? Not from this group of people."

Qin Zipao put on the sneakers that Luo Shi handed to him instead of the walking boots.

"That's true. The reform will be to implement a cabinet system in the future. You know the difference between a prime minister and a cabinet. If I give my team a prime minister now, the cabinet will take away most of the prime minister's power. It's hard to guarantee that something unexpected will happen. Besides, I don't have anyone I can trust who is capable."

When Qin Zihan said this, the look in her eyes when she looked at Luo Shi changed.

"Or, you can be the one."

When does it fall???

It was raining heavily in Yanzhou, south of Daqin. It was the closest state to Lijiang and was known as the source of Daqin's soldiers because it had a training camp.

Raindrops as big as beans hit the beams. The soldiers sleeping in the house didn't hear the footsteps at all. They were sleeping so soundly, as if nothing could wake them up.

"Who? Who's there?"

The soldier patrolling outside suddenly shouted, and the people who were still sleeping woke up instantly. They picked up the weapons beside them and rushed out of the house. They saw circles of people looking for traces of the enemy in the heavy rain, but found nothing.

The moon had long been obscured by dark clouds, and the fire flickered and died down.

A strange "pop" sound was heard, but it was inconspicuous in the noisy crowd.

At the moment the sound was heard, the area was illuminated.

The crowd could see clearly the people who had invaded the camp. There were eighteen people standing, squatting, and sitting on the wooden stakes and houses. They were wrapped in black robes with hoods covering their foreheads. On their faces were kind rabbit masks, and behind the masks were a pair of captivating eyes.

"You, who are you? How dare you invade our important territory of Daqin?"

A voice came from the crowd, mixed with a hint of panic.

Shanci stood on the wooden stake, slowly stretched out her hand hidden in her black robe, and a yellow edict with a phoenix printed on it appeared in her hand.

"Daqin, Jinyiwei."

The establishment of the Jinyiwei department caused an uproar in the court. Some people were worried, some were dismissive, and of course there were also some people who were open-minded and looked indifferent.

"I will open schools all over the country, covering towns, counties, and cities, and build roads. There is no rush for this, let's just connect towns together."

Everyone…………………………

What? Did you hear that right? Building a school? Town-level construction? Building roads? Connecting towns? Did you correct me? You don’t know how much it will cost, do you?

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although the national treasury is still in surplus, we cannot spend money like this. Not to mention the huge expenses of building a school, just building roads can bankrupt us."

Qin Zipao held her forehead with her hand, and she knew that she was actually very clear about it. Now she brought it up mainly to see what the attitude of this group of people was.

"If the road is not repaired, the school will have to build it."

"Your Majesty, this is not possible. It's fine for the county to build a school, but if we don't give it to the towns, our finances may not be able to support this year's expenses."

Qin Zihan frowned.

"Where is Daqin's main expenditure now?"

The Minister of Revenue stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, it's mainly the salaries of local government officials, the salaries of all officials, the expenses of the army, the customization of weapons, and the repair of the city walls."

Qin Zipao quickly waved her hand to signal them to stop. She asked directly, "How much silver is left over every year? How much silver is in the national treasury now?"

"Your Majesty, the annual surplus is 35 million taels, and the national treasury now has 67.3 million taels."

"So much money? Can't even build a school?"

The Minister of Revenue gave a bitter smile, he really had no idea how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt were when he first took charge of the household!

"Your Majesty, yes, but we haven't collected taxes this year. If we use all the money to build the school, our salaries will be cut off, and so will the soldiers in the army. Not to mention the money for hiring teachers. This alone is another not small expense."

Qin Zihan sighed. It seemed that everything she wanted to do would have to wait for the Jinyiwei to take action. However, before that, she could get some money first.

An old woman whom Luo Shi had never seen before came into the bedroom.

"The common people pay their respects to Your Majesty."

"Get up."

"promise."

Qin Zihan lay on the armchair and said, "Feng Momo, it's been five years since we last met, right?"

The old woman bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it has been five years."

"It's so fast. I still remember the days when you took me around to play when I was a kid."

The old woman said nothing, but just stood there trembling. She really didn't know why this gentleman asked her to go into the city.

"I heard from my father that you have been managing our royal family's business in the capital?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have been doing my best to manage the royal property for Your Majesty."

"Then I ask you, how much is the income from various sources in the past five years?"

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "A total of 47,000 pieces of cloth and silk were produced, and 40,000 pieces were sold, with a profit of 1.3 million taels. Excluding labor costs and various raw material costs, the royal silk earned a total of 930,000 taels."

"Royal Tavern......"

Qin Zipao interrupted and looked at the old woman with admiration. There were really not many people who could work wholeheartedly for the royal family.

She took out the blueprint of the loom Jenny from the table, and several puppets carried a loom Jenny out of the room.

"This is something I researched in my spare time. It can increase the output of cloth. Here is the design drawing. Go recruit a few skilled carpenters to produce it. As for the details, they are provided by the higher-ups. Once the Royal Textile Factory can mass-produce it, you can ask others to use it."

"Your Majesty, what is this called?"

"The Spinning Jenny."

Several guards carried Jenny's loom away, and the old woman bowed and left, followed by several guards.

When I fall, I lie on the armchair, missing the mobile phone and computer in my previous life, and the days when I lay in bed and watched Tik Tok.

Alas, if I can’t use Tik Tok, I’ll just use my wife.
