Chapter 36 Unique insights
The ministers of the DPRK and Central Committee started to draw the blueprints without saying a word, and they all started talking about it. They have never heard that the eldest princess has such a skill!
"His Royal Highness, the Eldest Princess listens to the government behind the curtain. This is indeed not a good thing. According to the Eldest Princess' temperament, how can she handle political affairs? If Your Highness really cares about the government, please take it back."

Although Chen Shangshu felt that what the eldest princess said just now was very reasonable, but it could not eliminate his prejudice against the eldest princess.

He felt that it was not a good thing for a woman to be in power. Besides, with so many ministers in the court, there was no need for the eldest princess to listen to politics here.

Chen Shangshu is quite paranoid, he thinks that women's meddling in politics is a provocation to men like them, if he could decide this matter, Shen Qiqi would have been kicked out of his position long ago.

"You have an opinion on my king's decision."

Mo Yan's indifferent eyes swept over Chen Shangshu lightly, with a careless tone in his tone.

Just this one sentence made the courtiers who were discussing a lot quiet down, and they were as silent as cicadas, not daring to speak out.

"Your Highness, it's not that I have any objections, it's just that the Eldest Princess is indeed not the material."

Sweat dripped from Chen Shangshu's forehead, he blinked, but insisted on his opinion.

"With this king here, even if she is not this material, this king will let her become this material."

Mo Yan's confident words made Chen Shangshu completely shut up, and he was really not convinced in his heart.

Even if it is to open a department to select capable people, it is much better than the eldest princess listening to politics here, and it is really inappropriate for her to openly sleep with the emperor.

"It's painted."

Shen Qiqi stood up and blew away the drawing, and when she turned her head, she felt that the atmosphere in the hall seemed a bit inexplicable.

"Show Chen Shangshu, I have already marked the place to be repaired."

Xiao Guizi took the blueprint of the ink and carefully delivered it to Chen Shangshu's hands. Watching his face turn from blue to white, and from white to blue, he felt a little puzzled.

"I looked at the blueprints of the dam. If it was built according to the blueprints, there would be no gaps in the dam so soon. It must be because someone cut corners during the construction, which caused the dam to burst. Chen Shangshu What do you think?"

When the dam was built, nearly one million taels of silver was spent, and the Ministry of Industry said with confidence that the dam would last a hundred years.

However, the time for face-slapping came too fast. Less than ten years after the completion of the dam, there was already a gap, and there were still cracks under the dam.

This crack is washed by water all day long, and I am afraid that the dam will not be able to stop the flood in a long time, it can only be used for viewing.

"Princess, when the dam was first built, I didn't take over the handicraft department, so I don't know why, but since the princess mentioned it, I will definitely find out the truth."

Chen Shangshu didn't make much excuses for the problems left by his predecessor. When this matter was really investigated, the head of the Ministry of Industry should bear the brunt of the responsibility for this problem.

"There are problems with the construction of the dam, so the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment will investigate together. If someone really corrupted money on purpose and caused the dam to collapse, then it must be investigated carefully."

What the regent Mo Yan said made the atmosphere suddenly tense. The young courtiers were not involved in the incident ten years ago, but the old courtiers tensed up.

At that time, the dam was a face-saving project done by the late emperor, and it was Su Chengwen who proposed the construction of the dam. If it was really necessary to re-investigate, I'm afraid it would have to pull out carrots and mud.

The officials responsible for the construction of the dam at that time, I am afraid that none of them could escape.

"His Royal Highness the Regent is right. It is ridiculous that such a large sum of money was built like tofu dregs. If the people below did not deliver the newspaper in time, I am afraid that there will be people who are displaced. The capital has come here to file an imperial complaint."

With a serious expression, Shen Qiqi criticized the officials who were doing things at that time, then quietly blinked at Mo Yan, and secretly gave a thumbs up.

Sure enough, anyone's words are not as useful as the regent's words. Look at these officials who were talking fart just now, they dare not say anything now.

"By the way, the regent and sister are absolutely right, and I also feel that this matter must be handled in this way."

The emperor Xiao Jijing also followed behind, and the matter was settled in this way. The early court ended, and the officials withdrew from the Xuanhe Hall one after another.

Chen Shangshu argued hard today, which comforted the ministers in the front, but dealt them a heavy blow in the end.

That's why many ministers stabbed Chen Shangshu with dark eyes, thinking that he was a shit stick, and the most important thing was that he was still the leader of the Ministry of Industry.

"Yue Ling, am I particularly handsome today? Did you see that Chen Shangshu was speechless by me? Oh my god, I'm so handsome."

Shen Qiqi's sleepy bug was gone, she clenched her hands excitedly and jumped on the spot a few times, it really felt good to be annoying.

"Ah, the servants don't understand, what is handsome!"

Yue Ling's face was also full of excitement, but she didn't understand a single word for handsome, so she was a little at a loss.

"That's what it means to be beautiful!"

"Then His Highness is indeed very handsome today, very handsome."

Yue Ling gave her a thumbs up and kept praising her, flattering her without money.

Xiao Jijing's mood this morning is also very comfortable, he thinks it's really great that sister can come often in the future.

"Sister, come and have dinner with me!"

"No, I'm going with the Prince Regent."

Shen Qiqi rejected the emperor's invitation, she wanted to go to Mo Yan's side, her speech in the court today must have shocked Mo Yan.

"Ah, sister, are you going to abandon me now?"

Xiao Jijing's eyes widened in disbelief, didn't sister say that she hated the regent?Why do you still have to go with the regent now? When did their relationship become so good.

Outside Xuanhe Hall, Bai Hua was discussing with Mo Yan about the arrow in the army.

"His Royal Highness, although there is no war these days, the number of arrows used by soldiers is decreasing day by day, and the arrows we use are always less powerful than those from neighboring countries."

Bai Hua's status as a general was also forged on the battlefield, not just because of the old general Bai's protection, but because he has unique insights into the art of war.

What worries him most now is the weapons of the Tianyue Dynasty, especially the long-distance arrows. The arrows of neighboring countries are more powerful than the arrows of the Tianyue Dynasty. It can kill many soldiers of the Tianyue Dynasty.

"Well, regarding the matter of bows and arrows, I will ask the people in the construction department to speed up the production. If you have a good idea, you can also communicate with the people in the construction department."

Mo Yan had already known what Bai Hua said in his heart, but wanting to improve weapons did not happen overnight.
