Xiao Zhixing, female, a general from the late apocalyptic era in Huaxia, over 200 years old, has traveled through multiple planes to hunt down a certain system that has committed heinous crimes.
After it was circulated among others, everyone was filled with excitement, and there was no reason for them to refuse.
If this matter succeeds, even if it is a joint creation, as long as they can leave a few words of their own in it, they will surely be remembered in history!
Ji Bai said, "Your Highness, this is your life's work. Our help is enough. We don't need those empty titles."
The others exchanged glances and calmed down upon hearing this.
Wei Qi, representing a few people who weren't very familiar with Xiao Zhixing, said, "Yes, once this book is completed, he will surely become a master. We dare not presume to accept the title."
Xiao Zhixing waved his hand dismissively, "I don't care about these things, and I don't have time for them. Since I've given them to you, you can help me get them done. I will reward you for your contributions. When the book is completed, all of you who are the chief writers must be listed on the list and cannot refuse."
The crowd exchanged glances, filled with gratitude and complete admiration. "We obey!"
[Yellow comment: The Three Character Classic, an essential primer for enlightenment, has been passed down for thousands of years and remains a must-learn classic for us today!]
[Yellow comment: Another iconic scene, hahaha. I heard that the other members of the Gentlemen's Academy often complained after learning about this, missing out on this opportunity to co-create a sacred text.]
[Yellow comment: Haha, especially our little fairy Zhao Xianyin, she kept repeating this until her death, which shows the power of the Three Character Classic.]
[Yellow comment: Number one, number two, hurry up and get ready! The Holy Scripture is coming, don't miss it!]
[Red comment: We're ready to transcribe!]
[Green bullet comments: The whole world is on high alert!]
Having handed the matter over to the group that immediately started brainstorming, Xiao Zhixing felt relieved and began to attend to his own business.
Three years may seem like a long time, but it is also a short time. She must firmly hold the top spot in order to win the position of Crown Prince.
Improving the fortune of a place means developing that place, improving all aspects of it, and enabling the people to live a better life.
Xiao Zhixing wrote down the one-year plan, the two-year plan, and the three-year plan.
Motherland's experience proves that if we implement our work in a planned manner, take a holistic view, and take steady steps forward, we will surely reap the rewards.
She then wrote: military affairs, people's livelihood, commerce.
She first analyzed what she already had and her advantages, as well as the means of production she possessed, to gain a clear understanding of her situation.
Then list the shortcomings and weaknesses, including what can and cannot be done.
Then, the things that need to be done first are written down first.
"To get rich, build roads first"—this slogan, ingrained in the very bones of Chinese culture, is prominently displayed at the top.
With cement as a powerful tool, building several highways that run through the entire state will surely succeed.
The second urgent issue to address is population and food.
The northern state is sparsely populated, and with fewer people, there is less land to cultivate, so even wealthy families are unwilling to acquire land there.
Areas with small populations tend to have less active economies and therefore less wealth.
The concept of demographic dividend has remained unchanged since ancient times.
Solutions to population and labor shortages: importing talent and developing organic labor.
The former must create conditions to attract people, like building a nest to attract phoenixes.
The latter aims to improve the health of the general public, especially the health of women, children, and newborns, and to reduce infant mortality.
In ancient times, there was no concept of contraception, but a child had to be able to survive.
This is also why she brought up Baisu; improving hygiene and health standards is of utmost urgency.
She pondered and wrote down: grassroots medical care, barefoot doctors, and affordable medicines.
With a larger population, people need to eat, wear clothes, and live in shelters, and all sectors of society need to be revitalized.
Especially regarding the issue of food, having vast fertile land is a hope, but all that land must be cultivated; otherwise, it is just wasteland.
She also wrote down: agricultural technology research, land reclamation, farms, high-yield grains, farming methods, etc.
Next comes the people's livelihood and economy, including education, commerce, and various industries.
The Three Character Classic, the Four Lines of Hengqu, and the dozens of boxes of books she took with her were all intended to improve the education level in Beizhou.
She noted here: movable type printing, papermaking, academies, elementary education, pinyin, etc.—Xiao Yan copied down some of the papermaking techniques.
Finally, there is the Beizhou Forum—modeled after the Jixia Academy, it invites renowned scholars and experts from all over the world to come to Beizhou to spread their ideas and engage in a hundred schools of thought contending.
Commercial categories include: lake salt, sea salt, ice making, mining, cement, animal husbandry, money lending, escort services, encouragement of commerce, granting certain privileges, but levying commercial taxes, etc.
Hundred Craftsmen: Encourage scientific research and innovation, bring extraordinary people from all walks of life under their command, grant them official positions, and try to get them to publicly teach their skills.
Finally, the prerequisites for the successful implementation of all these plans can be divided into two types: internal and external.
The underlying premise is the governance of officials.
Only with clean governance, capable officials, and unity of purpose can the ship of Beizhou successfully set sail.
The external prerequisite was that she needed to firmly defend the northern defense line, safeguard the fruits of victory, and prevent the northern barbarians from invading the south.
Otherwise, it's all just empty talk.
Therefore, the continued enhancement of military strength cannot stop. Here, she added a militia training program, aiming to make the entire population military.
Xiao Zhixing put down his pen and sighed. There was so much to do, and only three years was too short.
The road is winding, but the future is bright.
Therefore, these things cannot be left undone.
Even if it's just planting a single seed for a small introduction.
She also wanted to see in advance whether her ability to govern the country was up to par.
Using Beizhou as a pilot area, we can verify the effects of reform and development, see the capabilities of our subordinates, hone our ability to control the overall situation, and discover and correct problems in governance.
Small boats are easier to turn around.
Reform requires practice, and only practice can promote development.
These things come from Earth after all. Are they suitable for this place? Will they be unable to adapt to the local environment?
Finally, modifications will definitely be needed to suit local conditions.
