Lin Yi asserts his absolute authority in court, swiftly eliminating a dissenting Minister of Revenue with a display of his ruthless power. Despite the brutal act, his decisive actions are acknowledged as necessary for maintaining order and prosperity in the Dayou Kingdom, with Xiao Zihan understanding the harsh realities of leadership.

There’s no need for you to stand up and refute me, because I know more than you do.

So all you need to do is execute my orders well.

Also, starting today, the person next to me, the Empress, when she issues a decree, it is as if I said it. Moreover, from now on, she is appointed as the first Prime Minister of the Dayou Kingdom."

After saying this, everyone around trembled slightly, of course, though they were shocked inside, no one dared to show any discontent.

After all, the scene from just now kept flashing before their eyes, and they didn’t have the courage to provoke Lin Yi.

They didn’t want to experience that feeling personally.

At this moment, the entire body of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was still hot, wasn’t it?

This made them not want to experience it either, so when Lin Yi said these words, they respectfully listened, much like little lambs, lying there listening to Lin Yi’s instructions.

As for Lin Yi just having Xiao Zihan become the Prime Minister of Dayou, everyone felt uncomfortable inside.

But no one would interfere.

You call the shots, are you not the Emperor?

If you want someone to be Prime Minister, then that person shall be Prime Minister; if you want women in the Imperial Court, then so be it.

In any case, this Dayou Kingdom is yours, you can do whatever you want, because who can match the size of your fist? Who is as powerful as you?

Since I can’t provoke you, I’ll just listen to you. After all, I can’t leave here now, and I want to keep muddling along in this Imperial Court.

This is the current mindset of everyone.

No one dares to touch Lin Yi’s reverse scale.

After all, Lin Yi’s display was too domineering, causing everyone to be frightened and not dare to have any thought of resistance.

This is exactly what Lin Yi needed, he didn’t need to win people’s hearts, he needed people who could execute his orders. Besides, these people were all on his replacement list, and once the scholars or capable people below rose to power, these people would be cleared out.

It is for this reason that Lin Yi did not have any pity for them, for the people of this Dayou Kingdom had suffered greatly from their poison.

It can be said that these people had all been investigated before, and none of them were clean, none of them were innocent.

Each had oppressed good citizens, so Lin Yi showed them no mercy.

With less eyes and ears around, seeing no one dared to refute him, Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"From today onwards, big or small matters, if Xiao Cheng says it, then that is what I mean.

Additionally, the Chancellor is in charge of the treasury, and from now on, the Ministry of Revenue will be under Chancellor Xiao’s primary management, overseeing all departments.

Remember, whatever Xiao Zihan wants to do, all places must fully cooperate, with no delay or evasion. If it comes to my attention that you intend to be negligent, then I will not spare you."

In fact, Lin Yi doesn’t need to instruct this, these people would not provoke the other side anyway, after all, who dares to offend an Empress?

They are not stupid, they’re not tired of living yet.

Currently, they understand well, if they want to live peacefully in Dayou, they must follow the Emperor’s words.

Help him complete his tasks the way he wants, only then can they protect their status and identity.

Though the idea of uniting to resist Lin Yi crossed their minds, they only dared to think it secretly. If Lin Yi ever found out, there would be no good consequence for them.

After hearing these words, Xiao Zihan had a solemn expression on her face.

Although she hadn’t spoken or shown anything earlier, she was truly startled inside.

She never thought her man would actually do something like this here, knowing that it is absolutely forbidden in the 21st century.

However, clearly, such things wouldn’t happen here, even if Lin Yi did important things, no one would stand out to say anything, because here, he is the sky, he is the law of Dayou.

It’s only him punishing others, no one dares to show him any disrespect.

Xiao Zihan nodded, then addressed the crowd: "I am a woman, but I must say to all of you, women can hold up half the sky.

In matters of great importance, there’s no difference between genders, only abilities matter.

As long as there is capability, a woman can still hold office.

So, I ask each adult here to have no prejudice against me."

Although there was dissatisfaction in their hearts, who dared to show it?

So, after Xiao Zihan’s words, the officials bowed their heads even lower.

They just waited for her to continue speaking; as for standing out to refute, who was foolish enough to do that?

None of the remaining ones present were fools, including the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who Lin Yi took down earlier, he wasn’t a fool either.

He ended up in his current state because he never thought Lin Yi would be so intolerant of dissent and zero-tolerance for such matters. If he had known, he wouldn’t have said anything.

But, now, it’s too late to say anything, what’s done is done and can’t be changed.

All they could do is ensure not to anger Lin Yi, ensuring not to become the second Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Because of this, after Xiao Zihan finished speaking, they collectively lowered their heads to show submission, and seeing this scene, Lin Yi was very pleased.

After briefly discussing some matters, Lin Yi took Xiao Zihan and exited the court.

After arriving at the Imperial Study, Xiao Zihan looked slightly pale.

Lin Yi knew it was because she was truly frightened just now, but thinking about it, it’s understandable why Xiao Zihan was scared, as such incidents would be hard for anyone new here to accept.

Intellectuals, Lin Yi planned to explain further.

But as Lin Yi spoke, Xiao Zihan forced a smile and waved her hand, indicating she truly understood his circumstances.

Because of this, she completely accepted Lin Yi’s actions.

This naturally allowed Lin Yi to breathe a sigh of relief.

In the following period, Xiao Zihan began to implement their previous plans.

In less than half a month, the first soap manufacturing factory in Dayou was completed, and production began.

When the first piece of soap was produced, Xiao Zihan couldn’t help but be amazed at the product.

Xiao Zihan was indeed impressive, who would’ve thought soap could be made so quickly.

What does this soap represent? It’s simply silver.

Moreover, this marks a change in the fate of the people, with this method’s existence, it’s an indirect promotion of the historical process.

Of course, following this was the construction of a huge industrial zone.

In this vast area, apart from the completed perimeter walls, there was a relatively large workshop that had been completed. Of course, this workshop produced nothing else but the soap that Xiao Zihan had handed to Lin Yi.
