After this incident spread, the ministers of the Great Sheng Dynasty were inevitably thrown into a bout of panic.
Could the Emperor really manage all these state affairs by himself?
It was indeed impossible for one person to review several hundred petitions, but what if he had the help of these Imperial College students?
However, they panicked at first, but after carefully calculating the number of petitions, they were reassured.
There were more than a hundred petitions each day, and the issues addressed in them totaled over three hundred!
With each petition being about a thousand words, there would be a total of over a hundred thousand words daily.
Even if the Emperor had the Imperial College students pre-select and summarize the petitions for a concise report, and he then dictated his response for the students to transcribe, it was still a daunting amount of work.
