Zhou Shuren was absent from the Ministry of Revenue for a while, and though it functioned as usual, it seemed like something was missing until Zhou Shuren returned and it became clear that he was the principal figure.
Qiu Yan did not flatter, but straightforwardly said, "With Sir's return, the spirit of the entire Ministry of Revenue has changed."
Zhou Shuren jokingly said, "When I was not around, they could slack off secretly, but now that I am back, they must perform well in front of me."
Qiu Yan chuckled, "Then they are also happy to see you return."
After the jokes came the report, and it was only after the report ended that Qiu Yan sat down to drink tea.
Qiu Yan whispered, "You must know about the Grassland Tribe coming to the capital to ask for food and supplies."
"I already know that."
Qiu Yan continued, "In recent years, there have been many people from the Grassland Tribe coming to the capital, they think we have an abundance!"
