"I really don't know. I'll go over there later and take a look at what it looks like inside!"

"You're such a busybody. Here, have a drink." Mu Kaiji poured him a Coke and picked up a chicken leg.

[Host, there really is a brothel next door.]

[If you say that, then there are a lot of melons?] Since there are melons, go eat them.

Yes, there's a woman downstairs who came from next door.

[The person on the other side?]

【No, she's a customer. There are also male escorts across from her; you can choose one later.】

I originally planned to go over and take a look after eating and drinking, but I was stopped.

Emperor Xuande allowed her to enter the palace.

Why do I feel like I'm being stopped from visiting brothels? But it doesn't matter. I can stop them temporarily, but I can't stop them forever.

She was going to make it anyway.

When I entered the palace and went to the imperial study, I saw the six ministers of the six ministries were all there. I knew at a glance that something big had happened again.

"Your Majesty, it's the New Year holiday, and it's not time for court yet. What's wrong?"

If someone goes back to his hometown for the New Year, how will you ask him to come back?

"Take a look at this memorial. Your father just sent it over." Upon hearing that it was a memorial delivered by her father at great speed, Ji Yingying immediately picked it up and began to read it.

The memorial stated that a village near Linfeng City had been struck by an epidemic caused by poisoning, and asked the emperor how to deal with it.

"Are my parents alright? How could someone take their own life during the Lunar New Year?"

[Xiangxiang, quickly check, is anything wrong with my parents?]

[I can't find it. It's so far away. Let's just use the "Eat Watermelon" system.]

"Your parents are fine. They discovered it early, and the imperial physician intervened in time. They're fine, but they need supplies. Although the people in Linfeng City are growing corn and sweet potatoes, they can only grow one season there, not two. Moreover, it's close to the desert, and those lands are simply unsuitable for growing anything."

That's why Ji Cailiang couldn't come back so quickly. Now he's a subject of the Tianyou Dynasty, so how could he not be allowed to eat his fill?

"First, allocate supplies and have someone send back the soil. I'll study it and find a crop that's suitable for the land there."

She had never considered this question before; if it weren't for her father, she wouldn't want to think about it at all.

"Very well." Emperor Xuande began arranging to send more things over, but the journey was long and it might be difficult to deliver them!

"A bicycle, Your Majesty, you really don't understand. A bicycle has two wheels, so we can add another wheel at the back, making it three wheels. Then, we can spread the three wheels a little and put the cargo board on top. Now we have a bicycle."

Even so, Ji Yingying was not going to help. But Minister Gong immediately said, "Your Highness, what you said makes sense. Please help me make the cart before the food is ready."

[This old man, for this thing, even called out the prince, he really is fit to be a beast of burden! ]

Minister Gong didn't care and let Ji Yingying say whatever she wanted. After all, he would benefit from it. Before Ji Yingying came, their Ministry of Works was often bullied.

Today, their Ministry of Works is simply the court’s most powerful “weapon” because they are dealing with very, very important things.

"You can find the answer by researching it yourself." Ji Yingying refused immediately. The emperor had said that this year she would study hybrid rice and increase the rice yield per mu to more than 1,000 kilograms.

Although this may not be possible, she wants to do it.

"Yingying, you should discuss this with Minister Gong. If there really is something this good, it will definitely be another great thing for our Tianyou Dynasty."

"Okay, let's talk about it later!"

After that, Ji Yingying had no time to deal with that brothel at all, and instead led people to research tricycles at the Ministry of Works.

The research was quick, and by the time the supplies were dispatched, she had already created the shape.

Just need to assemble!

I feel like I'm almost becoming a person who knows everything about astronomy and geography in this world. I can do anything I want.

Ji Yingying was right to complain. The retired emperor treated her as a sharp blade, ready to kill anyone he caught, while Emperor Xuande treated her as a "national treasure". After all, her head was full of technology, if all of it were researched out.

With the Heavenly Blessing Dynasty, how could it not be powerful? With a strong people and a strong army!

[You feel like the Ministry of Industry has become your home now.]

[Hehe~ Work is too tiring, give me some melon! I feel like there are more and more women in our department, is the era of women's rise coming?]

It's been here a long time ago. Wasn't a law issued last year? Women can go out to work as businesspeople, hold official positions, and divorce. If a man maliciously harms a woman, as long as the woman complains, his entire family will be exiled. If a woman insults a man's family, she will also be exiled. Fair play! Anyway, the Women's Federation you've been dreaming of has finally appeared!

Yes, I forgot about this.

[Also, the brothels you've been longing for are now under strict control. So, you can't go to brothels—no, you can't go. Children are now strictly forbidden from entering, and any brothel will be shut down immediately if caught.]

[I feel like Emperor Xuande acted very decisively. He's already done all this. So, I can't go to the brothel next to my restaurant?]

[Right, come, eat some melons. Did you see that man?] Xiangxiang gave a location, and Ji Yingying saw it immediately and asked what was going on.

He hates the current laws and is determined to overthrow them, so that men can once again control women.

What did he do? Why does he hate women so much?

[The injustices of the world weren't in his family; he simply hated women. He believed women should stay home, be good wives and mothers, and manage household chores, instead of going out into the world. He would beat women who disobeyed, and he even thought it was better for women to be incompetent, as too much education was detrimental. He didn't allow his three daughters to study or understand right from wrong; they were only made to do housework. Furthermore, he taught them that after marriage, they must obey their husbands' families, and if their husbands' families wanted them to die, they had to die.]

[What the hell? Why isn't he at home taking care of his wife and children?] Ji Yingying felt helpless. Why was there such a person here?

【It's so miserable to be his daughter! 】

[The eldest daughter was bullied and wanted a divorce, but he disagreed. The eldest daughter was afraid of him and didn't dare to make a fuss. Now, if she's not careful, she'll be beaten. She's already thinking about committing suicide.]

Wow, his wife must be suffering a lot too, right?

[His wife died a long time ago, and his current wife doesn't care about anything at all. She can't have children herself, and there are no boys in his family, only three daughters.]

I guess they'll have to go to a nursing home to retire.

Ji Yingying wanted to help and let the people from the Women's Federation give him a lesson.

The idea had barely crossed her mind when Xiangxiang said, "Let's go back early, we need to go see a play. His second daughter is going to cause trouble."

[Quickly, tell me, what are you trying to cause trouble for?]
