Quick Wear: The heroine is a top-level boss

Chapter 64: Counted by the Sky Curtain 5

When Tianmu mentioned the yield of 1,000 kilograms of rice and wheat per mu, the emperor and ministers in the palace and the people outside were all shocked.

Zhao Zesheng stood up suddenly and said without hesitation: "Come here, immediately, find Qin Suxing for me. I want to see my future female prime minister right away!"

Obviously, Zhao Zesheng has accepted that he will appoint a woman as prime minister in the future. As the greatest sage throughout the ages, who can resist this temptation except a tyrant?

As an emperor, he lived frugally and did not dare to have too many concubines. He got up earlier than chickens and went to bed later than dogs every day. He did not dare to slack off for even a moment, all for the sake of leaving his name in history.

Now that he has the chance to be called a sage monarch, he will never let it go. He has given up the ultimate enjoyment that an emperor should have and deserves this title.

Not only Zhao Zesheng was excited, all the officials were also excited. As the prime minister, He Changan still had some rationality. He immediately stepped out and saluted Zhao Zesheng.

"Your Majesty, the immortal has not yet told me where Qin Suxing is and where he is from. I think the immortal will tell me sooner or later. It is better to wait for the immortal to tell us the exact address before going to invite him."

He Changan said the word "please" in front of all the officials, which meant that he, the prime minister, had first acknowledged Qin Suxing's status as the future female prime minister.

Although He Chang'an looked down on women a little, the fact that he had been able to serve as prime minister for such a long time under the diligent and clear-minded Zhao Zesheng and maintain a stable position showed that he was capable and smart.

With the endorsement of a god and real ability, even if women are looked down upon, this Qin Suxing is no longer an ordinary woman who is looked down upon.

Since the other party is destined to enter the court, become a female prime minister, and even a close minister to the emperor, it is necessary to start currying favor with her in advance without making a fuss.

Anyway, there is more than one prime minister in the court. He is now the left prime minister, and the right prime minister position is still vacant. At worst, he can give the left prime minister position to Qin Suxing and become the right prime minister himself.

He Changan's words calmed Zhao Zesheng down and he nodded: "Not bad, don't worry, wait a little longer."

After waiting for a while, Tianmu heard the news that Qin Suxing had defeated the three countries around him that always came to cause trouble.

Zhao Zesheng couldn't help but stand up again, spinning around excitedly, saying several times: "Good, good! Good! That's great!!"

Zhao Zesheng was not a weak monarch, he also wanted to fight the three surrounding countries that always bullied Daxia.

But every time he wanted to go to war, the court officials opposed it. The reason was also said by the gods in heaven: the treasury had no money.

If they had to fight, they would have to collect more taxes, but then the people's lives would become difficult and some might even starve to death. Zhao Zesheng thought about it over and over again and couldn't bear to make this decision.

Zhao Zesheng sacrificed the lives of countless noble ladies from the royal family who were canonized as princesses, even including several real princesses, and some people living in the border areas, in order to save the majority of the people.

This decision was both cowardly and frustrating. Zhao Zesheng was not a heartless emperor. The first time he issued an edict for a marriage, he was so angry that he couldn't eat. He smashed the entire palace and sat in front of the ancestral tablets for the whole night.

But no matter how much he wanted to go to war, he had no money and no good generals. Without good generals, he could not train elite soldiers, so he had no choice but to compromise.

Sometimes Zhao Zesheng even wondered if God was not blessing his Great Xia. Why were those three wolf-like countries not short of elite soldiers and brave generals, but his Great Xia did not have a single available general?

Zhao Zesheng could only try to save money while sending money for marriage alliances, and at the same time he repeatedly improved the status of military generals and held military examinations, hoping to get a general who was good at leading troops.

Now that he heard that Qin Suxing was so good at fighting and could even make a fortune by fighting, Zhao Zesheng was so happy that he even couldn't wait to meet Qin Suxing.

After the excitement, Zhao Zesheng sat down again, staring at the sky, wanting to know who this Qin Suxing was and where to find him.

Compared to the relatively calm imperial palace, the common people were in an uproar.

Someone knelt down and kowtowed to the sky: "God, please let this lady minister bring us a thousand catties of grain per mu."

Someone cried loudly: "Dad, you died too early. If you had waited a little longer, we would have been saved!"

Someone nearby explained to those who didn't know: "Last winter, in order to save food for his family, his father took off his clothes and went out and froze to death."

The reason for taking off clothes is that clothes are very precious to ordinary people. Sometimes a whole family only has one decent piece of clothing, so they have to leave the clothes behind.

Just like this old man, there are many elderly people who choose to commit suicide when there is food shortage in winter, in order to save their own food so that their families can survive.

Even under the rule of a diligent and clear-minded monarch like Zhao Zesheng, the people are still like this. If they encounter a tyrant, it would be hell on earth.

If you meet a king like Hu Hai and Yang Guang who are both stupid and tyrannical, then every day will be a tribulation.

Countless people knelt on the ground and prayed to the heaven to find Qin Suxing as soon as possible so that they could grow rice and wheat with a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu.

The people have a hard life. If they could produce 1,000 kilograms of grain per mu, they wouldn't have to worry about people starving to death in the winter, even if taxes doubled.
