In the third year of Yongning, Jiangzhou Xinke Jieyuan Shen Yanzhi went to Beijing to take the exam. However, three years after his brother drowned, he discovered that the half-broken jade he was holding before his death pointed to the powerful people of the dynasty.
She was the youngest daughter of the Shen family. She stepped into the examination room in the name of her drowned brother, just to find out the truth - her brother was checking the grain accounts in Jiangzhou and calculated a deficit of nearly 30% in three years, but was silenced in the canal. My father also died of a mysterious illness ten years ago because he calculated that there was a shortage of food for disaster relief. Two generations died under the same logic.
From Jiangzhou to the capital, from the imperial examination to becoming an official, she worked her way up, checking accounts all the way. Next to him is Pei Yan, the head of the Household Department. He was ordered to investigate the case, but he was ordered to "investigate until the prefect." The two formed an alliance, but at the moment of breaking the jade together, they discovered that the person who ordered the silence was Pei Yan's mentor, the current Minister of Household Affairs.
It turns out that the murderer was not a corrupt official, but a set of court logic that "falsified accounts for the sake of military spending." What Shen Yanzhi wants to calculate is not just a grain bill, but the cannibalistic system itself.
From "avenging her brother" to "changing the accounts of the world", she finally promoted the restructuring of the court, reversed the case for her brother, and opened a gap for women in the world to enter officialdom.
