On a flyover in the capital city, an orphan girl performing arts was turning over abacus beads instead of embroidered balls.
Xiao Yanzi can fight, and he can fight twenty people by himself, and he will not retreat in a bloody battle; he can calculate, and check ten years of accounts in three days, and they are accurate; he can endure, and he can be a target for the real Princess in the palace, and survive in the cracks between the queen and corrupt officials.
Qianlong said: "You are not an ordinary woman."
Yong Qi said: "This time I will protect you."
But she didn't just want to live. Before his death, the master left behind a copy of "Private Notes on Salt and Iron" and a sentence: "One day, I will review this account for the people of the world."
From the harem to the court, from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, what she faced was not a corrupt official, but a whole chain of interests, including Li Guangde, the minister of household affairs, Wu Siye, a salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, Yongzhang, the conservative prince, and the "sir" who hid in the dark and never showed up.
Some people say that a woman cannot change the world.
She turned.
Salt tax, military supplies, corruption, old system! She flipped through each book one by one and calculated each item one by one. Enemies who couldn't be defeated were chained to death with chains of evidence; corrupt officials who couldn't be killed were beheaded by the law.
This is not a story about a princess waiting for a prince to save her.
This is the story of a woman who walked out of the overpass and rewritten the rules of the world with her comrades.
When Xiao Yanzi stood on the tower of the Forbidden City, overlooking the lights of thousands of houses, Yongqi asked her: "What do you want to do next?"
She smiled: "The world is so big and there are endless ways to catch corrupt officials. Reform has just begun."
This time, she is no longer alone!
