Liu Ziye transmigrated and became a young marquis disguised as a man. Her original self's father was the third prince, deeply favored by the late emperor. Before his death, the late emperor made the Crown Prince kneel by his bedside and promise never to mistreat her father. The Crown Prince promised then and there to give her father the "largest" fief. Thus, after the new emperor ascended the throne, her father was sent to the "largest" fief—the thousands of miles of borderlands in the northwest.
Under the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a city within every hundred li, with an average of ten thousand households per city. However, in her father's fief, it was sparsely populated, without even a decent city, and the total population was less than ten thousand households. After her father's death, the emperor even stripped his title, demoted her to a marquis, and subjected her to all kinds of harassment and tricks.
Liu Ziye looked at the map and gazetteer of the fief, which her original self's father had painstakingly developed over more than ten years with blood and tears. She slapped the table, "Father, you are my true father!" This thousand-mile fief was simply an unparalleled treasure waiting for her to excavate! Having bound the [Mechanical Civilization System] upon transmigration, she rolled up her sleeves. Agricultural machinery for plowing, textile machines for weaving, roads, vehicles, and buildings were constructed; military equipment and armor were developed!
Originally vast barren lands were gradually cultivated with the aid of machinery, transforming into thousands of miles of fertile fields; Originally isolated transportation, almost cut off, now allows reaching every town in the fief within three days; Originally desolate small towns saw tall buildings gradually rise, and water conservancy projects directly connected to every household's blue-brick, white-walled, thousand-foot courtyard in the town; The barbarian enemies of the Great Zhou, who wanted to take advantage and loot, were beaten to a pulp by roaring, steam-emitting combat aircraft and dazzling, shining iron military equipment.....
The northwest frontier gradually gained renown, becoming a rich and powerful land famous throughout the Great Zhou. People longed for it, calling it the "Western Capital," and families vied to move to the Western Capital. The ministers who, seeing the emperor's extreme bullying of the King of Xiguan, were powerless and temporarily bided their time, now advised the emperor: "Your Majesty, since there is a 'Western Capital,' where does the Yan Capital stand? Why not relocate the capital!"
Upon hearing the news, the common people submitted petitions to the emperor daily: "When exactly will the Great Zhou Dynasty relocate its capital??" The emperor... "You are clearly all forcing me to abdicate and yield the throne!" Ministers & common people: "So, when will you return the throne to Marquis Xiguan?" The emperor's pupils dilated in shock: "...How did you know that the Crown Prince's position back then was obtained through deception?!"
As Heaven's movement is strong, a woman should strive for self-improvement. A down-and-out marquis, rising to the top through infrastructure development.
