The Emperor looked at Wen Ranchen and Song Yan's calm expressions, and the question he was about to ask suddenly went unspoken.
Thinking of the recent issues the ministers ceaselessly argued over, the Emperor had an idea.
"For this final question, let's first hear your opinions on the government-run salt and iron, liquor monopoly, equal transportation, and price stabilization policies."
Everyone perked up upon hearing the Emperor's question, anticipating some entertainment. As for Song Yan, being a former duke's daughter and now an ordinary official family girl, even though she had learned a few things at the National Academy, those were mere superficialities. In terms of such state affairs, she might not even understand the basic questions.
Wen Ranchen might be worth watching, but again, lacking experience, any answers she gives would likely be just empty shells.
