Volume 1 Chapter 373 Corn on the Table
Of course, my idea of implementing agricultural reform has not been around for a day or two. I have lived in this era for a long time and I already know clearly that the crops these people grow every day are not enough to sustain their basic needs, and once a war breaks out, they will be completely powerless.
How can such a poor and weak country become a strong backing for its people? Therefore, in order to enrich the country and strengthen the people, it is imperative to implement agricultural reform.
Of course, I made this decision after comprehensive consideration of all aspects, and it was not impulsive.
On the dinner table the next day, corn was cooked in various ways for the Queen Mother and the little Emperor to taste.
After all, since agricultural reforms are about to begin, the authorities naturally want to know whether these things are good or not. Let them taste them themselves and feel the fullness, then the stone in their hearts will finally fall to the ground, and they will witness that their country really has hope of rising and remembering the glory of that day.
Just like that, on the next day, various imperial edicts were issued one after another, and the court ministers and the people of the world were all shocked by the news.
Because food is the most important thing for people, what to plant in the fields is what the people are most concerned about.
The common people have no idea of the complicated situation in the court, but it is their job to decide what to plant in their own fields, so they are eager to know what the emperor means when he gives an order.
Fortunately, this matter did not continue to ferment. Soon, various people in black appeared and led everyone to implement these policies.
At first, there was an uproar in the court, but after the little emperor gave the order and asked them to each chew a piece of corn and eat a sweet potato, they realized that this thing was really a good thing that could fill the stomachs of the people.
When they heard that the production of this thing was particularly high, these old antiques who usually resisted stubbornly fell silent one by one. There were even one or two people who were able to accept new ideas and concepts and began to come forward, taking the lead in expressing that they would definitely supervise the implementation of these matters and ensure that they would not go out to cause trouble.
Although the emperor is still young, he has the empress dowager behind the scenes to rule the country and Huo Lei in charge, so even if some of the remaining people still have old-fashioned ideas, they cannot cause any trouble.
Of course, this was not the only thing that shocked the civil and military officials in the court today. There was another thing that particularly surprised everyone.
You should know that the current little emperor does not have any brothers or sisters, but among the imperial edicts issued today, there is one that is specifically given to Su Muyan.
The imperial edict conferred the title of Princess Protector of the Nation on Su Muyan. This even made everyone in the court feel deeply that something unknown to them seemed to be happening between the Empress Dowager and the Princess Protector of the Nation.
But they were not given much opportunity to guess. The empress dowager had already thought of the current situation when she was ruling the country from behind the scenes.
A calm voice then emerged from behind the beaded curtain: "The implementation of various reforms, the promotion of the Emperor to the throne, and even this time, the protection of our country from being harassed by bordering nations, all of these, without exception, were accomplished with the help of the Protector Princess."
"It can even be said that without the help of the Protector Princess, we might have been forced into a state of no return."
After the Queen Mother said this, the civil and military officials immediately realized what had happened some time ago.
Although they looked extremely shocked, their actions were very consistent, and they all congratulated the Princess Protector of the Nation!
That night, Su Muyan was still leisurely reading a novel and eating fruit in her own house when she received this imperial edict that was inexplicably assigned to her.
After receiving the imperial edict, of course he knew what to do to the eunuch who came to deliver the eunuch. He was so happy about the huge sum of money that he didn't know what to do.
He acted respectfully on the surface and only after sending the person away did he smile.
I don’t know which girl didn’t dream of being a princess when she was young. Now, in another form, I have successfully realized my daydream of becoming a princess!
Su Muyan said, "Maybe I am truly God's daughter. Otherwise, why do all the good things in the world happen to me?"
"Oh, forget it, maybe I am just a little koi fish, I have good luck!"
This incident quickly caused a sensation throughout the country. When everyone began to understand the contributions of the Princess Protector of the Nation, Su Muyan's fame grew even more.
Su Muyan also understood the responsibilities she would have to bear under such praise, but there was nothing wrong with protecting these people. After all, she now had the ability.
In one's own country, bad guys must be punished according to the law, and good civilians must naturally be protected so that they can live a peaceful life. The world is full of ups and downs, so life is particularly difficult. Since one has the ability, of course one must make everyone's life better.
The agricultural reform was carried out vigorously. The surrounding small countries were still eager to make a move at the beginning, but later, after considering the saltpeter mines and fire bombs, they gradually gave up those inappropriate ideas and behaved themselves without taking any blind actions.
Su Muyan became free every day again. She would go out for a walk occasionally to see what her princess mansion had become like.
Of course, I didn't go to see my own princess dress being made to look impressive. I mainly wanted to design it according to my own ideas, as I was afraid that the craftsmen wouldn't understand the drawings I gave them!
It would not be cost-effective to waste those high-quality woods, so I would occasionally take some time every day to guide the craftsmen and ask them to strictly follow the drawings.
You know, after the princess was allowed to have her own mansion, Su Muyan personally designed an unprecedented princess mansion for herself.
No matter how many houses you have, it is never too many, not to mention that it is a princess's mansion built with all kinds of precious materials, so of course you have to make it so that you can feel particularly comfortable and satisfied. After all, being a princess is only this once in your life, so naturally you have to make sure that you are satisfied in every aspect!
