Gu Yihan’s smiling face turned cold inch by inch.
Gu Nuo’er sat on the throne, her back straight and her soft black hair tied into a
small bun.
Coupled with the colorful spring clothes, she looked like a little fairy.
Her black eyes were bright. “Uncle Lu, what do you want to say? Why don’t you tell me?”
Academician Lu cupped his hands and said humbly, “Your Highness’s method may get State Ke’s officials to farm.
“However, to put it bluntly, when one is far away from the authority, the powers will not intervene. That group of officials will think of all sorts of ways to slack off. This plan will instead be a form of harm to the commoners.”
When the officials heard this, they remained silent.
Gu Yihan’s expression was already very grim.
His daughter was only six or seven years old, yet she could come up with such an idea. It was fine if Academician Lu didn’t praise her, but he actually refuted her.
Just as he was about to flare up, Gu Nuo’er smiled sweetly.
“Uncle Lu, do you think I’m really doing this to let them farm?”
Academician Lu paused and looked puzzled. “This subject is slow-witted. Your
Highness, please enlighten me.”
Gu Nuo’er held the memorial and jumped down from the chair.
The hem of her dress drew an arc with gorgeous color.
She walked with her small hands behind her back, calmly walking past the row of important officials.
“State Ke’s annual food harvest is within 20%. As the land isn’t fertile, the imperial court has to allocate additional food relief every year.
“It’s been like this for so many years. Could it be that they can produce more than 40% just with me forcing them this time?”
Academician Lu was stunned. “Your Highness means…”
Gu Nuo’er smiled brightly, her watery eyes sparkling with cunningness.
“Of course I’m doing this to let them fight among themselves! Officials and officials will supervise each other. In the beginning, they would only supervise to see if the other party had cultivated the land according to the imperial edict.
“However, if there’s one case, there’ll be two. Humans like to take revenge. They’ll definitely hold grudges against each other. This will ensure that no one will commit small mistakes like people slacking off instead of plowing the land.
“It’ll escalate to supervising if the other party is upright and honest. No matter how strong their previous relationship was, it would collapse before such internal strife.
“If the officials supervise each other’s work, they’d naturally not have time to bully the commoners. Otherwise, if I don’t let them fight among themselves, why would I keep such lazy officials who only know how to lie and ask the imperial court for money?”
All the officials were struck with a realization.
The little princess’s move was equivalent to a huge wave washing away sand!
Not only could this take the opportunity to reshuffle the state’s bureaucracy completely, but it would also allow people to be meritorious.
The fisherman would benefit from watching the sandpiper and clam fight.
What a good decoy.
It seemed to be a small matter of farming, but the princess actually came up with such a wonderful plan.
However, Academician Lu was clearly still a little worried.
“But even so, internal strife among the officials will probably cause quite a commotion and affect the commoners.
Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery and beautiful eyes. “Therefore, this is why I asked Father to find an imperial envoy to bring troops to State Ke.
“What I want is to resolve the chaos at the critical moment and save State Ke’s citizens. Once this matter succeeds, it will serve as a warning to the other states and prefectures.
“Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Don’t think that when one is far away from authority the powers that be will not intervene, and you can do whatever you want. If you can’t do good, I can take off the official hat on your head!”
The officials were all stunned by the little princess’s aura.
Only Gu Yihan clapped with a proud expression.
“Alright! My Baby Nuo can be said to be a contemporary lady!” The child was not reserved and was not overly humble.
She raised her milky-white face and smiled brightly.
She walked up to Academician Lu.. “Uncle Lu, are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility and head to State Ke?”
