Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 229 Winning over

When Gu Yao returned to the Ministry of Works, she was surrounded by some people from the Ministry of Works: "Master Gu heard that the two masters had a quarrel in the morning court. Did they fight? How serious was the fight?"

"Master Gu, what are they arguing about? Is it because of our threshing machine? Our threshing machine is very popular in the whole capital. Are we going to get rich again?"

Gu Yao listened to their words and felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Ever since the threshing machine brought them profits, many people from the Ministry of Industry had been keeping an eye on Gu Yao all day, hoping that she could invent something to make money.

Because of the thresher, some of her tasks had already been done by others, so she only needed to sort out her thoughts or give some pointers, and her job was very easy.

Although I still have to work overtime sometimes, it is at least much better than before. Now I am just doing mental work and the physical labor has been taken over by others.

However, mental work is the most tiring, after all, it requires the use of the brain. She now makes a pot of strong tea during the day, and almost always drinks a few big gulps at her workstation. Sometimes she thinks that she would rather do physical labor than mental work.

Especially when she saw that some of her colleagues' hair had moved back, she was very scared and shuddered. This was not okay. She had to eat more walnuts and sesame seeds, otherwise she would be very ugly.

"Little Tree, Little Tree, come here quickly."

Gu Xiaoshu was guarding the door. Hearing what Gu Yao said, he quickly came to her side and said, "My Lord, what's wrong? Do you have any instructions?"

She is not very busy now. Just as Gu Yao said, some things have been done by colleagues, so Gu Xiaoshu only needs to serve Gu Yao.

Gu Yao's colleague patted Gu Xiaoshu on the shoulder and said, "Take good care of your parents. Don't get too tired. Be alert. Pour water if needed and get food if needed. You don't need to do anything. You just need to stay with her."

Gu Xiaoshu felt proud and funny. Now I wonder if the adults have something for her to do.

"Xiaoshu, go to the street and buy me some sesame paste and walnuts later. I need them, so buy more."

I thought that I would have to eat these things every day when they arrived, but I had to keep my beautiful hair. I didn't want to be bald, which would be too ugly.

Gu Xiaoshu was a little confused when he heard her words: "My Lord, why did you buy these? Are you going to eat them?"

"Of course it's food. Go ahead and buy some more tea from Qingshui Teahouse. The tea there is delicious."

Gu Xiaoshu, however, carried out Gu Yao's decision very well, and thought that these were all food, so they should be eaten. Could it be that adults now like to eat walnuts and sesame seeds?

In the afternoon, Minister Song came to her and said, "Ayao, I have something to tell you."

After listening to Minister Song's words, Gu Yao tidied up the table and came to Minister Song's position. When she saw me, she clasped her fists and said, "Sir, I wonder what you want from me."

Minister Song looked at her and said, "I heard that the people in the Ministry of Revenue are in a bad mood. Do they want you to go to the Ministry of Revenue?"

Gu Yao quickly said, "Sir, I don't have that idea. I'm doing fine in the Ministry of Industry. And someone from the Ministry did come to see me yesterday. I just went out for a cup of tea with her. There's nothing else."

Minister Song wouldn't think that she wants to change jobs, right? I don't want to change jobs. To be honest, she is used to staying in one place and really doesn't want to leave.

I was a little reluctant to leave Shicheng, and it took me several months to adapt to the situation.

Minister Song saw her nervous look and smiled, "Don't be nervous, it's nothing, I'm just asking. The Ministry of Revenue is actually quite good, but you should know that since the advent of the thresher, the backers are also trying to win you over. But it's still better to be in the Ministry of Works, and we like you very much. If you try to make more contributions, I will promote you then."

Gu Yao is a promising talent, and she would like to have Gu Yao take over her job.

It’s just that he has only been promoted for a short time, so he cannot be promoted any more, otherwise he will be like a tree that stands out in the forest and will be destroyed by the wind.

"Sir, I have been promoted very quickly. If I were to be promoted again, many people would think it is unfair. I will wait until I have the opportunity to make a few more contributions."

After listening to what Gu Yao said, Minister Song felt that she was right about the person, and that this Gu Yao was indeed good.

And from what she said, I knew she had no intention of changing jobs, so I felt relieved. She had finally found such a good successor, and she couldn't let her go.

It's good that you think this way. We should take a steady approach and don't need to stand out too much.

Gu Yao knew that what Minister Song said was right, and nodded immediately. Then they chatted for a few more words about future work.

Their Ministry of Works is now in a very good momentum. It can be said that they receive praise from the emperor every day and even receive rewards.

All the officials in the Ministry of Works who were involved in threshing machines had received several waves of rewards, especially the craftsmen.

The craftsmen were truly grateful for the benefits that Gu Yao had applied for them.

These craftsmen relied on their skills to make a living, and as long as they worked for the court, they would always have some protection. So even though sometimes the craftsmen did not make much money, they were still unwilling to leave the court.

After all, the lives of ordinary people outside are not so good. They are harassed by gangsters and even exploited by wealthy families. At least the craftsmen have the protection of the court behind them, and those gangsters and some wealthy families dare not deal too much with them.

They were really grateful that Gu Yao was able to apply for welfare for them. At least they could use the benefits to buy a few more plots of land, send their children to school, and even get more money to marry some good husbands.

Now the pace of the Ministry of Works has also attracted the attention of other departments of the emperor.

The emperor has only two adult princesses, and the rest are still children. However, for these two princesses, one is the child of the legitimate prince, and the other is the child of the noble prince. It can be said that both of them are enemies.

This emperor could be said to have experienced a fight for the throne, so although the two princesses are now working in the court, they are only doing small things, and the emperor has not given them any serious work.

However, not giving it to them does not mean that they will not make any small moves. Gu Yao had also been tried to be won over by the subordinates of these two princesses before.

Gu Yao was unwilling to do so. After all, she had a bright future now, so why should she get involved? He just needed to remain neutral.

She will serve whoever is the emperor, and will not serve anyone other than the emperor.

Although she can get involved in some small things, she is unwilling to deal with some serious things.

Now the two princesses' methods are not that cruel, and they are not angry that Gu Yao did not accept them.

After all, everyone knew that Gu Yao had a connection with the emperor, so they didn't dare to be too obvious, otherwise they would suffer the consequences.

Afterwards, the two princesses stopped trying to win her over, but sometimes they would look good to her, which made Gu Yao feel relieved.
