Chapter 5171: Acting on one's own initiative

Since Ji Youlan had made the decision, the others did not dare to refute it and agreed with it. Soon, the two memorials were written and Ji Youlan sent someone to deliver them to the palace.

"If it succeeds, it will kill two birds with one stone." Ji Youlan looked at Ye Wudao and said, "That is all due to the contribution of Fellow Daoist Ye. I will never forget it."

Ye Wudao waved his hand politely and said, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? As your Highness's minister, I will naturally be loyal to you. Moreover, I am just giving you an idea. There are still many details and execution aspects of the matter. I hope other adults can handle it."

The others also immediately became friendly, and Liu Zhenyun was also smiling.

Liu Zhenyun said: "For the Ministry of Works, I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Ye. You can tell us anything. If we can help, we will do our best to help."

"Your Highness is not like other people, and our cabinet is not like other people's cabinets. There are not so many intrigues. If things have been finalized, then others will fully cooperate."

Ye Wudao smiled: "I understand."

...

A few hours later, Ye Wudao finally left Ji Youlan's house.

Ji Youlan really had too many affairs. She had to ask about the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, big and small, for fear that something would happen to the Ministry of Personnel in her hands and that others would hold the handle.

If she lost the Ministry of Personnel, Ji Youlan would have no trump card to fight with other princes and princesses, and she would not be qualified to compete for the throne, so Ji Youlan was cautious about the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel.

She supported Ye Wudao's suggestions, even if they were a little bold.

Liu Zhenyun also used the handling of the Ministry of Personnel to give Ye Wudao some advice, so that Ye Wudao would not encounter trouble in the Ministry of Works and not know how to solve it.

Only by understanding the operation of these major departments of the court can one play a role and guard against the opponent's tactics.

Naturally, Liu Zhenyun also sent some people to help Ye Wudao. With these people, Ye Wudao did not have to do everything himself.

Moreover, compared with other major departments, the affairs of the Ministry of Works are relatively few, which can be said to be very easy.

So until three or four days after Ye Wudao was appointed, nothing major happened.

But until the fourth day, the emperor issued an edict.

It was not an edict to Ye Wudao, but directly to the Ministry of Works.

Accusing the Ministry of Works of publicly renting and selling land, making it seem like the court also had to do business, so he asked Wu Shangshu to re-dispose of those lands.

Ye Wudao's mansion was also moved to the side of the Ministry of Works, but if he worked, he was still in the Ministry of Works, so he and Wu Shangshu received the imperial edict as soon as possible.

Similarly, it was Commander Long who read out the imperial edict. After reading it out, Commander Long also hinted.

"Minister Wu, the capable are in charge, so it is better to let the capable handle this matter."

After Commander Long left, Minister Wu put away the imperial edict expressionlessly and glanced at Ye Wudao indifferently.

"Left Minister Ye."

Ye Wudao smiled slightly: "Sir, what's wrong?"

"I think it's better to leave this matter to you." Wu Shangshu said: "What do you think?"

"That's fine."

After Ye Wudao agreed, he was about to leave, but suddenly turned back and asked: "By the way, Sir, I remembered something."

"Please tell me."

"I went to the residence of the Sixth Prince."

"Who is the Sixth Prince?" Wu Shangshu said: "In my eyes, there is only the Sixth Princess, not the Sixth Prince."

Ye Wudao smiled: "It doesn't matter, you just need to know that it is the Sixth Prince. She has some idle land and wants to give it to our Ministry of Works. Let our Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Gold rent it out according to the previous method."

"Oh no, she wants to sell it directly."

Ye Wudao did not act on his own, because Ji Youlan was also in need of immortal essence, and the price of selling it was more than ten times higher than renting it out.
