Chapter 51
So, in that spring season, because of Li Qingge’s extraordinary abilities and outstanding political achievements, she shined like a bright star in the court, and was eventually promoted to the imperial court The head of the six departments is the powerful Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Her appointment was like the spring breeze blowing over the frozen river, bringing vitality to the entire court.
That day, the sun filtered through the clouds and shone dappledly on the splendid palace, adding a bit of warmth to this solemn occasion. Jiang Jinsong, an official known for his strictness, felt the unusual atmosphere as soon as he stepped into the palace. He was dressed in neat official uniform, walked steadily, and his eyes revealed his awe and admiration for Li Qingge.
Li Qingge was sitting behind a high desk, wearing a luxurious court uniform against her cold and wise face, and there was a majesty between her brows that should not be underestimated. She did not rush to assign tasks to Jiang Jinsong, but in an almost gentle tone, she asked him to report on his recent work situation first. This move made Jiang Jinsong feel a warm current in his heart, and he felt unprecedented respect and trust.
"Your Majesty the Queen," Jiang Jinsong bowed respectfully, his voice was steady and powerful, "Officials in various local states and counties, we all follow your will. We will reward those who have merit and punish those who have made mistakes. For those who We have promoted all the small officials who work quietly at the grassroots level and have a spirit of hard work, so that they can better serve the people.”
After Li Qingge heard this, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Although the smile was light, it was as warm as the spring breeze and made people feel warm. She nodded slightly, her eyes shining with approval: "Very good, this is the right thing to do. Only by judging heroes by their political achievements can we stimulate the enthusiasm of officials and maintain the vitality of the court system."
After speaking, she paused for a moment, looking through the window lattice to the vast world in the distance, her heart filled with infinite longing for the future. After a moment, she withdrew her gaze and continued to say to Jiang Jinsong: "When allocating land, I have set aside part of it for the development of education. Now is a good time to implement the nine-year compulsory education system that was previously advocated."
When Jiang Jinsong heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that Li Qingge valued education far more than ordinary people. So, he immediately expressed his position: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have made detailed plans. As long as your Majesty approves and allocates funds, we can start construction immediately and let the light of education illuminate every corner."
Li Qingge nodded again. , with a firm and powerful voice: "Okay, let's do it as soon as possible! I will determine the required expenses." We will allocate it to you in full, and we must not let education be hindered by lack of funds."
With the changes in the land system and the huge amount of silver taels obtained from the confiscation of homes (up to more than 700 million taels, almost equivalent to the Qing Dynasty). (the income of the Ting treasury for fifteen years), Li Qingge invested a lot of effort in people's livelihood and infrastructure construction. Although these expenses were huge, she knew in her heart that the money was well spent because they would lay a solid foundation for the country's future.
With the full implementation of nine-year compulsory education, Li Qingge suddenly heard a system prompt in his ears. The sound was clear and sweet, like the sound of nature: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully building a road transportation network and specializing in manufacturing all types of transportation vehicles." Complete collection and manufacturing equipment!”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for promoting nine-year compulsory education and specially gifting the Galva Oil Field!”
Li Qingge felt excited when he heard this. Although she had been prepared, she still couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard these two rewards. Those all types of transportation, including household cars, electric vehicles, motorcycles, as well as public buses, subways, light rails, etc., and even various heavy machinery used in construction, production and transportation, their technologies have reached the world level. Top level. The manufacturing equipment and talent are also ready and it just takes some time to be put into use.
However, these tools require oil or electricity to operate. The problem of electricity is relatively easy to solve, because although coal mines are not as abundant in the south as in the north, they are still sufficient for thermal power generation. Moreover, after Chen Hongmou's water conservancy project is completed, the supply of hydropower can also be increased. However, oil and gas resources are relatively scarce in the south, so the Galva Oil Field rewarded by the system this time is undoubtedly a timely help.
After careful study, Li Qingge discovered that this oil field is actually one of the largest onshore oil fields in the world, with reserves of tens of billions of cubic meters, accounting for as much as 30% of the oil resources in the Persian Gulf! Such oil fields are simply a cash cow for rich countries! Moreover, the quality of the oil in the Galwa oil field is very good. It is light oil and is easy to transport. With this oil field, the southern industry and even the country's oil supply can be self-sufficient!
"Hahaha, the Galva Oilfield came at such a good time!" Li Qingge laughed happily. The laughter was crisp and sweet, full of unlimited expectations for the future.
However, she also noticed that the name "Galva" is a bit difficult to remember, and ordinary people may not understand its meaning. So, she decided to change the name of this oil field to "Dayan Oil Field"! This name is simple and clear, and allows people to know that it is something from their own country.
With these full categories of industrial products and huge oil resources, Li Qingge felt that his country was about to spread its wings and fly high. The roar of industrial machines echoed through the sky, and various industries such as steel, cement, chemicals, and textiles were booming. Industry and infrastructure construction have created a large number of job opportunities. People make money in factories and then use the money for consumption.
The increase in consumption has led to the growth of demand. In order to meet market demand, factories continue to expand their production scale and need to recruit more workers. In this way, there will be more and more money, and consumption will become more and more vigorous, forming a virtuous cycle economic system. The entire country seems to have been injected with a powerful vitality, glowing with unprecedented vitality and vitality.
However, just as Li Qingge was immersed in this joy and reviewing the piles of memorials, the system's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her thoughts: "Ding! The system task is triggered! Detected Domestic commodity consumption is close to saturation. Please open the coastal trade ports, develop foreign trade, and integrate with the world economy! After completing the task, you will be rewarded with a world-class gas field! ”
Li Qingge was stunned for a moment after hearing this mission. There were many choices in previous missions, why is there only one option this time? She couldn't help but fell into thought. But after thinking about it, she understood the reason. The reason why there were so many tasks in the past was because there were too many shortcomings in feudal society and they needed to be solved one by one. But now, the landlords and gentry have been eliminated, equality between men and women has been realized, and the evil forces have been almost eliminated, so the tasks are naturally much less.
Thinking of this, Li Qingge couldn't help feeling happy. I traveled to this era and finally made some achievements! However, she also had some doubts. The South has such a large population and such a vast market, so why are there so many products?
While she was meditating, Pan Xiaoming, the Minister of Rites, walked in, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report, please ask Your Majesty to judge!"
Li Qingge raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Looking at Pan Xiaoming sharply, he asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's about the textile factory." Pan Xiaoming replied, with a hint of worry in his voice.
It turns out that because Li Qingge advocated equality between men and women, more and more women entered the factory and became textile workers. This has led to a significant increase in the production capacity of textile mills and a surge in the output of shoes, socks, apparel and other commodities. However, market demand has not kept up, resulting in a massive backlog of goods that warehouses can no longer hold. Moreover, market prices continue to fall due to oversupply. If we don't open up new sales channels, I'm afraid these products will become overstocked.
After hearing this, Li Qingge suddenly realized: "So that's it! The textile industry has exploded!" She thought to herself that this was indeed a headache. In ancient times, "clothing" ranked first among basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, and the price was also very expensive. The average middle-class family can only make one new piece of clothing to wear during the holidays throughout the year. But now, the goods produced in large quantities by textile factories cannot be sold. This is indeed an urgent problem that needs to be solved.
After she pondered for a moment, she said to Pan Xiaoming: "When you go back, immediately organize people to conduct a thorough investigation of the production capacity of the textile factory, and at the same time understand the changes in market demand. Then, prepare a detailed report for me . I want to see what caused the backlog of goods and how to solve this problem." Pan Xiaoming accepted the order and admired Li Qingge even more. He knew that Her Majesty the Queen not only had extraordinary wisdom and courage, but also had keen insight and decisive decision-making power. Under her leadership, this country will surely become stronger and more prosperous.
Speaking of us people, life was really tight back then. Throughout the year, one or two pieces of clothing are rotated and worn. It is normal for them to be mended when they are worn out. Children grow up quickly and need to change their clothes frequently. The family is under great financial pressure. Often the parents’ clothes are made smaller for the children to wear. The younger brother wears the clothes that the elder brother cannot fit. After the younger brother wears the clothes, there may be an even younger brother waiting for him. . Just such a piece of clothing, passed down for four or five generations, will eventually be worn out and patched one after another, but you can't bear to throw it away.
It was a spring afternoon, and the sun shined through the sparse clouds and onto the old stone road, adding a warm color to this poor life. Under the old locust tree at the head of the village, several children dressed in downsized old clothes chased and played with clear laughter, which seemed to penetrate the hardships of the years and reach the softest part of the human heart.
Clothes and food were prohibitively expensive in ancient times, and ordinary people could only stay away from them. So when it comes to rich and powerful people, people will envy and say that they are "rich and well-dressed", "eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and wear silk and silk". Those gorgeous clothes shine in the sun, like the rainbow in a dream, out of reach.
Why did the Jenny machine kick off the industrial revolution? Isn’t it because it greatly increased the speed of spinning, lowered the price of cloth, and allowed the money originally spent on clothes to flow to other industries, promoting the prosperity of production. Just like a whale nourishes all things after its death, the innovation of an industry can often drive the progress of the entire society.
People always say that a house is a basic necessity, but if you think about it carefully, food and clothing are the real daily needs. A house can be rented, but how about renting food and clothing? In this regard, the ancient textile industry was the real hard currency, even harder than commercial real estate. It is not only a necessity of life, but also a barometer of the economy, reflecting the prosperity and decline of an era.
With the development of textile mills and machines, the price of shoes, socks and clothing plummeted, and once expensive fabrics became within reach. The textile industry is a labor-intensive industry. There are many people and machines, and the production capacity is amazing. Now in our country, the price of clothing, shoes and hats is less than one percent of what it was before, and there are so many goods that it’s like running water. In the market, there are piles of colorful fabrics, which are dazzling.
However, behind the prosperity there are also crises. What businessmen fear most is the overstocking of inventory. If they stock up too much goods, they will not be able to recoup their costs, and they will not be able to sell new goods. Once the capital chain is cut off, factories will have to close down and workers will lose their jobs. This is no joke. If you are not careful, it may cause social unrest.
So, you have to find a way to open up the foreign trade market and sell the goods, so that you can make money and attract wealth from the outside. But if you look at the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was a policy of isolation from the country. The Ming Dynasty was a little better, but the Qing Dynasty was almost completely closed. Coastal trade is no small matter. Pan Xiaoming stood in front of the window, looking at the busy port in the distance, with mixed feelings in his heart. He did not dare to make the decision without permission and had to ask His Majesty Li Qingge for instructions.
Your Majesty Qingge, a dashing queen, sits in a splendid palace, but she has no airs of an emperor at all. She wears simple and elegant clothes, and her eyes reveal determination and wisdom. When Pan Xiaoming raised the question, she said calmly: "Only by opening up can we prosper, and by being closed-minded can we fall behind, and if we fall behind, we will be beaten. Why was the Tang Dynasty so great, and why was the Kaiyuan era so glorious? Isn't it because of the opening up of sea restrictions and trade? With frequent exchanges, the economy becomes prosperous and attracts all nations to visit us. Like the rising sun, we should insist on openness and exchange of goods and needs in order to regain prosperity."
When Pan Xiaoming heard this, he felt it was reasonable and asked: "What ports does your Majesty plan to open?"
His Majesty Qing Ge smiled, that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, warm and bright. "Just open one or two ports? That's too unstructured! If it's going to be opened, let's open it fully!" Her voice was firm and powerful, as if it could penetrate all obstacles.
Pan Xiaoming was shocked when he heard this. If this were the Qing Dynasty, who would dare to tell the emperor about "advancing rashly"? But our country is a constitutional monarchy. His Majesty Qingge is determined to reform, is gentle to the officials and the people, and has no literary inquisition. So after everyone has been together for a long time, they all know her temper, and they speak straightforwardly.
"Full opening up? Isn't this too radical..." Pan Xiaoming was still a little worried.
His Majesty Qingge stood up with a smile, walked to the window, and looked at the sky in the distance. "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. A new dynasty must be aggressive. What are you afraid of if you are radical?" Her voice was full of confidence and heroism.
Pan Xiaoming nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty is right, if you have no other opinions, I will do it now!"
"Okay, I will issue an order now, you should contact foreign businessmen. "His Majesty Qingge turned around, his eyes flashing with expectation and hope.
"Yes!" Pan Xiaoming saluted, turned and left. His heart is full of longing and confidence for the future. He knew that under the leadership of His Majesty Qingge, Dayan Kingdom would surely usher in a new era.
Our textile technology in Dayan is first-class, with high output and low cost, and the price is close to the people. Are you worried about not being able to sell such a good thing? His Majesty Qingge originally wanted to sell it to the people in the north first so that they could also enjoy the benefits of industrialization. But her father was powerful and feared that the people would be unstable, so he banned the north-south trade. Although His Majesty Qing Ge has this intention, he has no choice but to do so. She could only secretly make up her mind to find an opportunity to spread Dayan's textiles all over the world.
It's fine now. Once the treaty port opens, our cloth will be shipped to Southeast Asia like a sail. Those colorful fabrics shine charmingly in the sun, like business cards of the Great Yan Kingdom, showing our strength and charm to the world. Although the price is ten times that in China, it is still extremely cheap in those small countries, and people are rushing to buy it. Our Dayan textiles have become very popular in Southeast Asia.
Then it was sold to the Mediterranean and Western Europe along the sea route. Those nobles who were once out of reach can now wear the fabrics of the Great Yan Kingdom. They were amazed by the texture and color of the fabric and rushed to buy it. Especially the purple fabric, it is a hot commodity. In ancient times, purple was a rare thing. It was difficult to make and expensive, and only nobles could afford it. The purple in the West is mostly extracted from Phoenician conch, which is ridiculously expensive. Although aniline purple has now reduced costs, we still control production and the export price is also high. Even so, Western nobles are still rushing to buy it. After all, the price of a small purple shawl in the past can now buy a whole piece of purple fabric. Who can not be tempted?
His Majesty Qingge stood on the high platform of the palace, looking at the busy port in the distance and the merchant ships coming and going, his heart was full of pride and joy. She knew that all this prosperity and prosperity were inseparable from her open-door policy. And the starting point of all this is just pieces of clothing and pieces of fabric. She smiled so brightly and confidently. She knew that the future of Dayan Country would be even better! In Western countries, those fabrics that combine Eastern charm and pragmatism are like brilliant rainbows, spanning between the East and the West, and have become hot commodities. They are not only beautiful and elegant, but also win the favor of the market with their affordable prices. And the source of all this is the Eastern Great Yan Dynasty. The goods of this ancient and mysterious country have gradually become synonymous with high quality and low prices, like a fresh wind blowing to every corner of the world.
Your Majesty Qing Ge, the Queen of the Great Yan Dynasty, not only possesses extraordinary wisdom, but also has a forward-looking vision. She has conducted in-depth research on modern economics and is well aware of monetary systems such as the gold standard and silver standard. Under her governance, the economy of the Dayan Dynasty was like a giant ship setting sail, riding the wind and waves and moving forward bravely.
She knows that although money is good, too much can easily damage the country. Therefore, she ordered those in charge of exports not to bring back too much silver after selling the goods, but to exchange more for rare minerals that are urgently needed in industry. This move, like the finishing touch, quickly filled Dayan's treasury and laid a solid foundation for the country's future development.
With sufficient funds, His Majesty Qingge did not choose to be comfortable, but invested his money in the construction of the country's infrastructure. She knows that a country cannot be strong without a sound infrastructure. As a result, roads, schools, hospitals, docks, as well as commercial landmarks and public facilities all sprung up, making the entire Dayan Dynasty present a busy and orderly scene.
The machines in the factory roar day and night, as if telling the story of the prosperity and prosperity of the Great Yan Dynasty. The busy figures of workers have become the most beautiful scenery of this era. Not only do they receive generous remuneration, but they also have ample rest time. Because His Majesty Qingge knows very well that only by protecting the rights and interests of workers can they inspire greater enthusiasm for work and thus promote the economic development of the entire country.
The prosperity of export trade has brought an unexpected super prize to His Majesty Qingge - a giant natural gas field. The reserves of this gas field are large enough to eclipse the famous North-South Pass gas field in later generations. With this gas field, the power generation problem of the Dayan Dynasty has been fundamentally solved. Although coal-fired power generation is convenient, it also causes serious pollution. Natural gas power generation is clean and environmentally friendly, and can effectively reduce industrial pollution to the environment. This discovery undoubtedly injected new vitality into the sustainable development of the Dayan Dynasty.
In Dayan's factories, workers did not work as hard as those in sweatshops in later generations. They enjoy a five-day work week, eight hours a day, and plenty of rest time. In order to protect the rights and interests of the people, His Majesty Qingge also set up a trade union and would never tolerate any behavior that exploited the people. Such a system allows workers in Dayan to work with peace of mind and no worries.
The reason why later generations of factories worked overtime and desperately increased production was largely because they lacked core technology and could only work for foreign companies and earn meager profits. But the Great Yan Dynasty is different. They control the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and core technologies. Their products are highly profitable and their factories have sufficient labor force. Therefore, they are able to make a lot of money and pay their workers high wages, creating a virtuous cycle.
With the establishment and start-up of factories in various places, all walks of life are showing prosperity. The advancement of large-scale infrastructure construction has given the old cities in the south a new look, and new cities are springing up one after another. Time flies by like a flash, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
This side of the south has a subtropical monsoon climate, with plenty of rain and heat that makes people feel refreshed. Rice can be grown here twice a year. The rice planted in the spring can be harvested in the autumn. In the evening of this day, His Majesty Qing Ge felt particularly comfortable after finishing his official duties. She decided to go for a walk and enjoy this wonderful time.
"Your Majesty, I have something urgent to report!" Liu Yong's voice hurriedly came from outside the palace, breaking the tranquility.
His Majesty Qing Ge was very excited when he heard his voice, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart. She put down the pen in her hand, raised her head and said, "Come in!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yong rushed into the hall like a gust of wind. He was so happy that he almost lost his balance and staggered. His Majesty Qingge frowned slightly and muttered to himself: Liu Yong is usually a very steady person, why is he so out of his mind today?
"Your Majesty, I forgive you, I have lost my temper." Liu Yong quickly stood up and apologized repeatedly. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then continued: "Your Majesty is overjoyed! The auspiciousness comes from heaven! The kind of rice you promoted has matured, and the yield per mu exceeds 1,500 kilograms! This is great auspiciousness. Ah! God bless me!"
His Majesty Qing Ge was a little surprised when he heard it, but he soon became happy. She stood up, walked to Liu Yong, patted his shoulder and said, "Really? That's great! Let's go! Take me to see it!"
When the ministers heard that the rice yield was high, they all wanted to join in the fun and praise the queen's merits. They all expressed their intention to follow His Majesty Qingge to the rice fields and witness this miracle with their own eyes.
After a while, the group arrived at the rice field. Except for His Majesty Qingge and Liu Yong, the other ministers were stunned by the sight before them. I saw the waves of rice rolling, and the golden ears of rice were so heavy that they seemed to be bending the branches. They sway in the wind, as if showing their harvest and joy to the world.
Tao Linong, the Minister of Household Affairs, was so surprised that he could not close his mouth. He stared at the golden rice fields with wide eyes, as if he was watching an incredible miracle. He murmured to himself: "I have never seen such full rice before!"
Other ministers were also amazed. Some of them shook their heads, and some were amazed, as if they were all shocked and surprised by this miracle.
“This is simply a miracle!” A minister sighed.
"We were still half-convinced when His Majesty said that the yield per mu could reach 1,000 jins, but now it seems that it may not exceed 1,500 jins!" another minister added.
His Majesty Qingge listened to the admiration of the ministers, and his heart was filled with pride and joy. She smiled and scolded: "What's not long live? Is there anyone in this world who can live ten thousand years?" Then she ordered: "Cut an acre of rice and weigh it!"
Everyone As soon as he heard the order, he immediately swung his sickle to cut. The scorching sun was in the sky, and the backs of their clothes were soaked with sweat, but their hearts were full of joy and expectation. In a short while, the rice in one acre of land was cut, piled as high as a hill, and filled with seven big bags.
His Majesty Qing Ge weighed himself, and the people next to him helped count. As the weight moved, the number continued to rise, finally settling on one thousand, seven hundred and twenty-three kilograms. This number, like a bolt of lightning, pierced the hearts of everyone present, making them once again impressed by His Majesty Qingge's wisdom and decision-making.
His Majesty Qingge looked at the heavy rice, and his heart was filled with emotion. She knew that all these achievements were inseparable from the joint efforts of her and the ministers. She believed that in the days to come, the Dayan Dynasty would become more prosperous and become the focus of the world's attention.
As the sun sets, the golden sunlight shines on the harvested rice fields, as if it has covered the land with a golden coat. His Majesty Qingge took his ministers on their way home, and their hearts were full of hope and expectation. They know that in the days to come, the Great Yan Dynasty will usher in a better tomorrow.
As soon as these words were said, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned, their eyes were as wide as bells, and they were speechless for a long time. There was silence in the main hall, except for the occasional chirping of birds outside the window, which seemed to accompany the sudden good news. The usually calm and sophisticated officials lost their composure at this moment, and opened their mouths wide as if they could swallow the whole egg.
We officials in charge of agriculture know best that the foundation of the country and the lives of the people all depend on the dissatisfaction of the granary. It’s not for nothing that Dayan thrives. I think back then, floods spread in the south, crops failed, and the people couldn't survive. Then a revolution broke out, which almost overturned the country of Great Yan. Now, with this high-yielding rice, it is great news for the country and the people. It makes people feel excited, just like the rain meets the rain after a long drought, and the clear spring meets the desert.
With these thousands of kilograms of rice seeds, the people will not have to worry about food. Who would think of rebelling? The country of Great Yan is now as stable as Mount Tai, and will be stable for generations to come! Not only the officials thought so, the common people were even more grateful. Those who depend on the sky for their livelihood swing their sickles with trembling hands to harvest the golden ears of rice. The ears of rice are heavy, as if each grain contains endless hope. Seeing that the granary was full and there was still food left after paying taxes, everyone was moved to tears. They never dreamed that there would be so much rice at home!
Think about the past, if we could have such a harvest, how could our relatives starve to death? The days of homelessness, hunger and cold will never happen again. Everyone knows that this good rice seed was given by Her Majesty the Queen, and Her Majesty also allocated the fields. The gratitude in my heart is like the endless flow of water in a river. Spontaneously kneeling on the ground, kowtowing in the direction of Jinling City, shouting: "Long live Her Majesty the Queen!" The voice resounded through the sky, as if to convey this admiration and gratitude to the sky. The admiration and gratitude were even stronger than when the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were alive, as if Her Majesty the Queen was the god in their hearts.
People often say that eating is a big deal. Now that they have no worries about food and clothing, they all praise His Majesty Qingge as a sage monarch. They also kept His Majesty's portrait at home, burned incense and worshiped Buddha every day, praying for His Majesty's long life and eternal health. His Majesty's portrait is hung in the most conspicuous position. Every morning and evening, curls of cigarette smoke rise, which is the endless gratitude and blessings of the people to His Majesty.
However, there are also a few stubborn old men who still have the old idea that men are superior to women. Talking nonsense in the market that women should not be in power. As a result, he was immediately caught by everyone, and they beat him up, saying that he was an ungrateful bastard! Those old stubborns were taught obediently and no longer dared to talk nonsense.
The high yield of this super hybrid rice not only keeps the people fed, but also greatly increases the country's tax revenue. According to the rules, land rent and land tax are exempted for those with a yield of less than 1,000 kilograms per mu, and only half of the excess is levied. Now that the common people's yield per mu exceeds 1,600 kilograms, the tax revenue will naturally increase. A tax of 300 to 400 kilograms can be collected per acre of land. In addition, the land is under the control of the state, so there is no way to evade taxes. As a result, the tax revenue in the south was actually more than the total of the seven or eight years of the Qing Dynasty's heyday!
In order to carry out infrastructure construction, the national treasury was completely empty. Now that taxes are so generous, we can flex our muscles again. But His Majesty Qingge knew in his heart that this was only a temporary solution. If we want the country to develop in the long term, we still have to rely on industry and urbanization. However, as a result, farmers may move to cities to work, leaving no one to cultivate their fields. His Majesty sat in the splendid palace, frowning, thinking about the future of the country. She decided to use agricultural tax revenue to support industrial development now. In the future, when industry is developed, industry will be used to feed agriculture, and real money will be used to encourage farmers to plant more fields.
Just when the southern land was enjoying a good harvest, the system gave His Majesty Qingge another task: "Ding! If there is too much food, the price will fall. As time goes by, farmers will lose their enthusiasm. Please think about it quickly, Your Majesty." Find a way to solve this problem! The reward is a spiritual rain!" Her Majesty Qingge frowned when she heard this. She knew very well that Gu Jian hurt farmers, and she couldn't forget this lesson!
Therefore, His Majesty issued another decree to encourage everyone to engage in side business to grow high-quality, high value-added fruits such as rose melons, golden mangoes, and honey plums. As soon as the decree came out, the whole country was in an uproar. The common people obeyed His Majesty's words, and officials also encouraged farmers to plant more fruit trees to increase their income according to local conditions.
His Majesty Qingge also used two methods to solve the problem of food surplus: First, export the excess food abroad to reduce the pressure on the domestic market; second, he established the "Dayan Grain Group" to acquire the market The grain stored in the country is used as a national reserve. This group is like a large reservoir, storing water during good harvests and releasing water during poor harvests, thus regulating food prices and stabilizing public sentiment.
Those profiteers who wanted to take advantage of the situation wanted to hoard food and raise prices, but in the end, they lost all their money. They looked at the mountains of food and felt like crying, and they could only admit that they were unlucky. The people clapped their hands and applauded, saying that His Majesty was wise and mighty and had solved a big problem for them.
The system sent another good news: "Congratulations on eliminating the hidden danger of the host, and you will be rewarded with a spiritual rain!" His Majesty Qingge was a little confused. She asked the system: "What is the spiritual rain?" The system explained: "Spiritual rain is the nectar that can make plants grow quickly! As soon as the rain falls, no matter what crop it is, it will mature in one year, and the quality is very good!" His Majesty Qingge was very happy when he heard it. She imagined that planting fruit trees originally took a long time, but now with Lingyu, they could bear fruit in one year. This was simply an accelerator for the prosperity of the people and the country!
However, spiritual rain does not fall casually. We have to wait until every place is full of high value-added agricultural products before we can lower the level, so as to maximize its benefits. His Majesty Qingge decided to first send officials to inspect various places to ensure that the agricultural products were grown in good condition, and then choose the opportunity to send spiritual rain.
This decision was well received across the country. The people have expressed that they must work hard to plant and contribute to the prosperity of the country. And those officials are gearing up one by one, preparing to show off their skills to relieve His Majesty's worries.
As time goes by, Dayan's agriculture becomes more and more prosperous. High-yielding rice, high-quality fruits, abundant grain reserves... all of this made Dayan's national fortune extremely prosperous. The people live and work in peace and contentment, the country is prosperous, and it seems that the whole world is cheering for the rise of Dayan.
And Her Majesty Qingge has become a god in the hearts of the people because of her wisdom, martial arts and foresight. Her name is forever engraved in the history of Dayan, and has become a good story that will be praised by future generations.
Time flies by, as if in the blink of an eye, three months have passed by quietly. During these days, earth-shaking changes took place in the land of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the initiator of all this was the queen who sat on the dragon throne with the world in mind - Li Qingge.
Li Qingge, this young and wise queen, always has the well-being of the people in her heart. On this day, she received reports from all over the country and learned that melon and fruit cultivation had been widely promoted, and she felt indescribable joy in her heart. She knows that all these achievements are inseparable from the hard work of the people, not to mention the deep love for the country and the people in her heart.
So, according to the mysterious reward of the system, Li Qingge decided to rain an unprecedented spiritual rain on the land of Dayan. That night, the sky seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, and the rain was woven as densely as fine needles in the air. The people hid in their homes one after another, but their hearts were filled with anticipation and awe for the rain. They know that this rain is the rain given to them by Her Majesty the Queen and a gift from God to them.
When daybreak came, the people couldn't wait to walk out of their homes. The sight in front of them amazed them. Those small saplings and seeds that were originally weak seemed to be enchanted, growing upwards and becoming strong and powerful. The green leaves flicker in the morning light, as if every leaf contains the vitality of life. The people cheered for joy. They knew that this spiritual rain was an auspicious sign brought to them by Her Majesty the Queen and God's affirmation of Her Majesty's virtue.

They all thanked Her Majesty the Queen for her wise leadership and believed that this spiritual rain was God's blessing and gift to Her Majesty the Queen.
